I'm Not an Old Virgin
Chapters 25.7
"Mashaa Allah, Sis Sapphira is very beautiful. Sifa guarantee deh Mas Ali must immediately melt his heart when he saw Kak Safira." Sifa suddenly went into the room, making Safira harrumphed as well as getting more nervous.
Honestly, it's like he and Ali were first married. It's a little awkward but it tastes sweet.
"So, I wish that too." The whisper of Safira is ashamed.
Drowning in her daydream, Rumaisha awakens from her sleep.
"Let us take care of the kids. You go meet Ali so your problems can be solved tonight." Mother said while pushing Safira out of the room.
"But..Mother.." Safira is not ready.
He wanted to stop but Mother and Sifa instead worked together pushing him out. When Sifa opened the door they saw that there was already a Father standing up while holding Ai who was asleep. The sudden appearance of Father made them immediately close their compact mouth.
"Ai's room is next to the library." Mother reminded her husband.
It's possible that I forgot where Ai's bed was considering that she rarely went up to the second floor.
"Dad wants to talk to Sapphira." He said indirectly answer the confusion of Mother.
Safira was stunned, she smiled thinly with an awkward posture. Both her eyes and the top of her nose were still red despite the makeup.
"Son, come here." Father said as he extended his hand to Sapphira.
"Dad heard everything from Ai and Sifa." Said Dad starting the conversation.
Her voice was still the same, never changing since Safira first met her one year ago. It's as if Dad's patience stretches wide and never ends.
"It's all Safira's fault, Dad. Safira is easy to think badly and be distracted." Safira admitted honestly.
If only he had not started the commotion then everyone in this house would not have interfered to help him solve the problem.
"In a household of misunderstandings, jealousy, hurt, anger, and all sorts of other emotions are bound to happen. This can be interpreted to mean that all the problems related to emotions were natural. That's not surprising because the most important thing is our response to all those problems. Whatever response we will give then it will be the reciprocal of your relationship in the future. So, be wise to take steps when facing a problem." He did not blame or justify Sapphira.
Father said this so that Sapphira understood that every problem that occurred in the house was a natural thing and needed a policy when solving it. This way in the future rather than fighting like Safira and Ali will negotiate a way out of the problem.
If there is a misunderstanding, the solution step is to elaborate on the misunderstanding to find the point of truth.
"Safira understands, Dad." Mumbled Safira shy.
Father then said, "Make this a lesson for your household in the future. If there are good problems discussed together so as not to be biased and feel disadvantaged because the household is not a matter of ego but the household is a matter of 'comfort'. If you are comfortable with each other, your children will also get the positive side. They'll feel warm because of the warm environment you two created."
Sapphira smiled shyly, her free right hand schematizing her robe because it once again remembered her stupidity. He was stupid and he admitted it. Because of his folly he made the angel in heaven shower him with words of threat, even every step he took was severely cursed by Allah SWT.
"God's Insha, Dad. Tonight's events will be a very important lesson for Sapphira." Sapphira remembered this seriously in her heart.
