GIVE ME LOVE
CHAPTER 26. PAPA EMIR'S ADVICE

"Prepare Nis, we're leaving soon" Mahen pinta told his daughter.

"And tonight we'll pick you up, okay? at about half-eight" Mahen told Devani.

Devani just nodded, then took Annisa to the room to prepare.

Finished ashar, Mahen and his family paid a farewell to the Andara family. Papa Emir asked Papa Andara to visit also the plamboyant house because they would also be lonely there if Mahen left the house.

Annisa said goodbye to her mother and said, "Don't forget about tonight, Bun" Annisa said.

"Yes, baby, go! It's fine there!" Devani.

Annisa waved to Devani and her eyes and Mahen's car slowly left the Andara family.

Just a few minutes after Annisa left, Andara's house was deserted, Papa and Mama returned to her room while Annisa went to the back garden.

Mbok Ijah also felt the same way, now he just dumbstruck in the kitchen, usually at this hour Annisa asked to make milk and play with symbols and also Devani.

In each of his thoughts, the question was asked, what if Annisa went forever with her new family when Mahen remarried to someone else.

Mama Intan and Papa Andara also talked the same thing in her room.

Mama Intan said, "Usahakan Pa, so that Mahen can marry Devani, I don't want Annisa to leave this house forever.

"Well, all day at the office so do not feel lonely, well! How's mama? Especially until Devani one day befouled with someone else, surely she will be taken away by her husband."

"What about the guy who came here Ma? Is she Devani's boyfriend?"

"Yes Pa, but comes from a family that is devastated. Mama pity Pa, do not let Devani into the family like that, even though the man loved her," said Mama Intan.

"We'll see Ma later, Papa also wants Mahen to remain our daughter-in-law. Although now he changed, wanted to go to a nightclub and get drunk, but Papa believes it was just to relieve his feelings of stress," said papa Andara.

At the Cambodian home, Mahen and Hans were helped by servants who took down their bags and brought them in.

Mama and Papa Emir, go around looking at the house of his son who has never been occupied.

The house looks clean and neat even though it is not liveable because every day it is cleaned by the helpers.

"Hen.. after finishing Papa and mama want to talk to you," said Papa Emir.

"Well Pa, Mahen lifted the bag to the room for a moment" Mahen replied.

When Mahen went to the room, he said to Hans, "Hans, when we talked to your brother, please, take Annisa to play first. Papa doesn't want him to hear about his Papa's bad behavior."

"The father wanted to advise him not to dissolve in his problems and mess with life with useless acts like what he is doing now."

"Well Pa" Hans said, taking Annisa to the room to watch television.

Mahen had finished lifting his things to the room, then he approached his father and mother.

"Sit down!" pinta Papa Emir's.

"Look, actually our arrival to Indonesia is in addition to wanting to make a pilgrimage to your wife's grave, we also want to ask you to marry again" said Papa Emir.

"But Pa!" mahen's words stopped when the Emir papa raised his hand so that Mahen did not cut his words first.

"Papa knows you love Devina so much, but life has to go on, son! We can't stick with the past."

"You're young, it's a long way from your life. Try to glass! Now that your appearance is unkempt, you're ruining yourself with drunkenness and most of all fear, how will your daughter be if you continue like this!"

"Right now maybe you can still rely on Devani to give him the affection of a mother, but..if Devani is one day married and taken away by her husband, what is the fate of your daughter?"

"Don't be selfish, son! Think of all Papa's talk. If it's a matter of feeling, a matter of love, love can grow over time."

"Did you see Papa and Mama's wedding? We got married, not because of love, but because your grandparents were convinced that your mom and dad could build a happy home. And Papa and your mama are sure that their parents are God's riddho."

"Now Papa asks, you live and work hard to take care of and develop the company in the future for whom?" ask Papa Andara.

"Of course for Annisa Pa" Mahen replied.

"Well, are you sure Nisa will be happy if she's away from her mother and will be happy if you keep seeing you come home late and drunk!"

Mahen fell silent at the speech of Papa Emir. Then Papa Emir continued his speech again.

"If you were married to another woman, would you be sure that she could love your daughter as much as Devani loved her?" ask Papa Emir again.

"Eat him Pa, I don't want to think about marriage anymore, that's one of the reasons."

"Papa give you a week to think and make a decision. If you agree to marry Devani, leave everything to us, let us discuss this with Devani and her parents" said Papa Emir.

"Yes, son, think about your happiness and also Annisa, Mama and papa are sure that one day you and Devani will definitely be able to love each other and live happily" said Mama.

"What if Devani disagrees, because I know Pa, Ma.he loves another man and that man is one of the people who joined the motorbike troupe that caused my wife's death."

"My personal assistant has also investigated that the man came from a distinguished family, the son of one of the board members and his mother a successful businessman."

"Why indeed? Are you afraid to compete with him? You are superior, you are a successful businessman while he, who is successful, his parents are not the man. As long as they have not been tied to marriage, Devani you can still fight, provided you promise to make her happy not to hurt or waste her later."

Mahen was silent for a while, then he said, "Well Pa, Ma. Give me some time to think about it first."

"We give you a week to think, not too long, Devani will be hunted in other people," said Mama.

"Yes, your mother said, don't think too late. And one more thing, Papa hope, from today on, leave the club and don't drink hard anymore, find the right activities useful to relieve your stress."

"As long as we're here, Papa is willing to accompany you, want to play golf.ayo, want a horse race, papa is also ready. Want karaoke-an.ayo, in this house we can do it together with your mother and sister," said Papa again.

Mahen was silent, he was wrong, all this time venting his stress to things that are useless and forbidden by religion.

Fortunately, Mahen did not get stuck with the women who often flirt, spread the charm in the club that almost every night he visited.
