Hijrah The Love
15.The value of honor

It was no longer a small black dot, but turned into a giant black dot in the life of Grace. Father who always prayed for the happiness of his two daughters. The father who expects his son to be the son of Sholeh and Sholeha.

All parents if asked for prayers and hope for their children would answer so. Even though they are adults, sometimes their children grow up to be children they do not know. Prayer abides prayer.Hope abiding is hope.parents accept the resignation of the child whatever the condition.

Mr. Sukri is a close neighbor of Mr. Rahmat, his son received at the University of Indonesia. Mr. Herman, another neighbor, his daughter got a scholarship to malaysia.while Mr. Joseph his sons went to school in Gontor's modern cottage. Even, after graduation, they planned to continue their education at Al-Azhar University in Egypt. Naturally because he is a respected person, long ago became the chairman of the House of Mosques in the village.

Mr. Rahmat is also a prominent person in his village. He was once the chairman of RW, also a management of DKM. All the villagers respected him, making him a role model in many ways.

As a retired teacher, his highest career was the headmaster.But, that was enough to explain the extent as an important person in the village who deserves respect.

The principal is a level of prestigious achievement.making him a figure of educator, a teacher who deserves to be in the guise and imitated. Despite his retirement, his aura as an educator remains visible.

As a parent, people also make him an example in educating children. A schoolmaster who has been poor as a teacher must be expected to be able to educate his two sons and daughters very well. Many citizens consulted him about how to raise children to be suskses and pious-saliha.

For parents, children are a pride, a mirror of success.Every parent tries to give the best for their children.they teach the science of religion, encourage or incorporate it into pesantren, and worked hard to finance up to high stewardship.in the hope after graduation can have a respectable profession, married to a wife, and her marriage becomes a proof of the value of family honor

That is also the hope of Mr. Rahmat. his position as a respected educator makes the burden and responsibility of raising his two sons and daughters become greater.

After his wife died a few years ago, Mr. Rahmat tried to raise his two sons and daughters with a hard education and in siplin. Can't be bargained anymore.

Time runs almost perfect for Mr. Rahmat. his first daughter has just graduated high school and is preparing for the dream college.His second son will graduate Junior High and always get a rank 1 in his class.

He had saved up a long time for his daughter's college entrance fee. He already has the perfect plan. He wants his son to be a teacher. Profession that he thinks is very noble and respected. Hope continues to grow as the greater the beloved princess.

Until an event changes everything.like a fast-changing season.something that was never imagined, even in his worst nightmare.

Tampa wind and rain, lightning comes snatching, shattering dreams and long-awaken hopes.

Previously, one hard slap on Sinta's right cheek, made her moan in pain. However, the pain was not much with the pain felt by Mr. Grace.

"why would you do that, Sinta?what less have you been teaching all this time?" Ask Mr. Grace with a chest tight and angry paled. want it feels like he threw his daughter out of the house. telling her to go Tampa should call her son again

"Please, sir..ampun ...," That's all Sinta could say. His tears kept flowing, unable to see his face.

"Who's the guy?"

Sinta was silent.her tears hardened.a huge fear suddenly penetrated her body.

"Who's that asshole? answer!!!!!!"

Kelu, Sinta felt unable to say, But, he had to tell the truth.Otherwise, his father's anger grew.

"Riki Hidayat, Pak Burhan's son, the village next door."

One hard slap back floated on Sinta's cheek. Mr. Grace was powerless to hold back the crying that had been restrained from being mixed with anger. In his shadow, he sees the honor of his family that decades he built destroyed overtime

How do I meet my neighbors? In what way will I explain this disgrace to them?I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed,

question after question makes the heart of Grace tormented. Didin, his second son, saw all the events from behind the door of the room.All the events after were recorded intact in his mind.

After that, Mr. Rahmat often confined himself at home, rarely socializing. occasionally he took time to perform prayers in the mosque, but. shame continues to sharpen in his heart and mind punishing the health of his scales. Mr. Grace so often sickly, until finally died.
