Khoiruddin is a man who has just graduated from a boarding school. Now he stared at the simple house, in it was his father who was waiting for his arrival.
“Assalamuaikum Yah..Khoiruddin rumah” while reaching for his father's hand.
“Wa’alaikum greetings, son how was your trip?” give her hand
“Alhamulillah smoothly dad.”
“ya already so, immediately go in and clean up it used to eat dad had already cooked vegetable sop.”
“iya Yah.”
20 Minutes for Khoiruddin to clean up and rearrange the goods. When he finished, he went to the kitchen to eat.
“Wah dad cooks a lot.”
“eat that kid all dad prepare for you.”
Khoiruddin who heard that frowned.
“for me only? This much?”
“hahaha yes let's eat.”
“eh hiya yah.”
Khoiruddin immediately took rice and some side dishes and vegetables. While chewing he said.
“cookan emang ter - the best.” With his thumb up.
“hem.”
Khoiruddin's eating activities stopped for a moment because his father who never ate.
“ayah... why do you see a khoir like that? Aren't you hungry hem?” ask her in a soft tone.
“nothing, dad ate earlier so spend it.”
“segini much mana load belly khoir dad.” Pak Soleh who was Khoir's father laughed at the words of his only child.
“hahaha if it does not run out yes saved only later eaten again.”
“well yah” Khoiruddin continued eating until it ran out. Mr. Soleh who saw that just smiled and said in his heart.
Look Beautiful our child is grown, he has become hafiz qu’an as you want . but he is still acting spoiled like a child. May you rest in nature, here I and your son will always pray for you.
Khoiruddin who saw his father smiling himself felt strange and asked.
“what is it like to smile for yourself?”
“ahh no, I just want to say later in the afternoon we go to the grave of mother long time we did not visit him. Maybe his grave has a lot of grass that grows, we will clean .”
“iya well.”
“ya already so dad want to pray first.”
Khoiruddin simply raised his tangn and formed the letter o in response.

Time has shown at 3pm. As planned Khoiruddin and his father will go to his mother's grave. He also rode in the car as his driver. In the middle of the road he stopped his car and went down to buy flowers.
“yah Khoir want to buy flowers dad just wait here.”
Khoiruddin immediately came down from his mbil and headed to where the flowers were sold.
“bu, flowers make nyekar.”
“iya mas.”
“ini mas.”
“how bu?”
“20 thousand”
Khoiruddin took out a 50-thousand blue note and gave it to the seller.
“ini ma'am, change take it.”
“but this is mostly mas.”
“it's okay my mom iklhas.”
“well mas thank you ya”
“iya bu equally.”
After buying the flowers Khoiruddin returned to the car and immediately continued his journey to the public cemetery. Ten minutes into the journey he finally arrived. After he parked his car he went straight in with his father to his mother's grave.
Here he now stands beside a mound of earth which is none other than his mother. He and his father prayed for the deceased first and then they cleaned his tomb and sowed it with the flowers that had been purchased earlier.
“mother now Khoir has become hafiz, what happy mother in nature there? Khoir promises to give the best for mom and dad.”
“Beautiful look at our child has grown up, he has become what you dreamt of . I hope you are calm in nature there, now my job is a little more. I hope you're not angry with my decision later.”
Because it was very late afternoon. They're back home.
“Great I have to go home. I will have time to visit again. Assalamuaikum”
“mother Khoir pulng first yes, Khoir will always pray mother.”

In car….
“nak find a mosque or musala for us to do prayer.”
“iya dad.”
After 5 minutes, Khoiruddin saw a mosque and immediately turned it to the mosque area. The father and son performed congregational prayers. When they finished, they went straight home.
The night had come the father and the boy had just returned from the mosque. They went inside and sat in the living room.
“nak dad will tell you this doesn't mean you have to fulfill it. I hope you can consider it well. Believe me no parent wants his child to live suffering.”
“what do you want to talk about?”
Hufft.. before speaking, Mr. Soleh took a deep breath he knew very well the nature of his son.
“because you have graduated then I intend to match you with the son of a father's friend, his son.”.
“why did you set me up? kan dad knows that I'm not ready.” Sela Khoiruddin
“why not ready?” ask Mr. Soleh in a soft tone.
“because I...”.
