LET ME DOWN SLOWLY
Memory of the Past (2)

Parman pointed his index finger in front of Chandra's face while giving the teenager a sharp look.

"Originally you know, I never approved of my daughter to be in touch with you. Want it as a friend or a couple. To my death I will never approve of it, remember it!" snapped Parman.

The man's voice was so loud, it made everyone startled and looked pityingly at Chandra. Both of Ari's parents immediately approached them.

"Ari, Arlan," call Ari's father.

The three of them turned their heads, not long before Chandra's parents also came. They were told by one of the residents that Chandra had come to Kanza's house where the wedding was taking place. Honestly, they were surprised that Chandra had come without their knowledge.

"Son,"

Chandra turned his head when he heard a very familiar voice in his ears. Chandra turned his head, and was surprised to see his parents approaching him.

"Son, let's go home!" take Ayu when she's next to Chandra.

"Yes, Son. We'd better just go home, we don't deserve to come here." Dailami told her son.

"Yes, you better get out of my house. I'm sick of seeing the faces of poor people like you. You as a parent should be able to advise your child, tell him that your family does not deserve to be with someone like my family," Parman said, shaking his waist.

Chandra clenched both hands, the pain of hearing the insults from the man who was the parent of the woman he loved. Chandra looked up at the figure of Parman who was looking at him with disdainful eyes.

"You don't deserve to say that in front of my parents, sir. You can insult me, but not my family. Remember sir, karma happens and will always exist in every life. Maybe now we are poor, but someday I am sure our lives will be changed. Remember that Mr. Parman!" Chandra said no less straightforward with Parman's voice.

As if nature supported what Chandra had just said, the sky in an instant turned cloudy. Sunlight began to dim, not long heard the roar of lightning striking each other. Everyone who was there felt a gripping aura, as if they would all get a reply for what they had done.

There were several invited guests who scattered, saying goodbye to their homes after feeling the spatter began to fall down the road and dripping on their bodies.

Chandra's breath was hunting fast, he had a glance in the direction where Kanza and her husband and some of his brothers were standing not far from him. After that Chandra left the house of Kanza's parents with a deep pain because of the insults from the woman's parents. Revenge, of course there is.

Moreover, those who insult or scold him are people who are more superior to him, both his age, his position, his job, his position and so forth, where he cannot repay, even bowed silently, embarrassed, trembling, and so on, cold sweat and so on. Runyam is what Chandra is currently experiencing. Chandra's parents followed their son. Ari and her parents also want to follow Chandra. They do not want anything to happen to Chandra, because after all the Chandra family has helped Ari family a lot by hiring Ari's father in his plantation.

Since then Chandra is famous friendly, cheerful, and cheap smile it has now changed 180°. For the change in Chandra's attitude, making both parents always think about the man. Not only locked himself, sometimes Chandra also almost never eat.

Dailami and Ayu are increasingly agitated by Chandra's change in attitude. Dailami decides to talk to her son.

"Remember, Sir. Don't let the emotion and make Arlan change his attitude!" ayu's message to her husband.

The two had a small chuckle before Dailami actually went to meet Chandra in her room.

Dailami sighed before she actually knocked on the door of the child's room. After knocking on Chandra's door, Dailami finally went inside after Chandra asked him to come in.

"Are you busy?" dailami asked when she saw the child was staring at the screen of her phone.

Chandra looked over and smiled. "No, Sir. Arlan was just looking for a university that would be where Arlan would continue his education" replied Chandra.

"Are you going to continue your studies in Jakarta?" ask Dailami back.

Chandra nodded as well. "Yes, Sir. Maybe Chandra should leave this village, so as not to keep thinking about what has happened in my life." Chandra explained.

"If it feels like they still can't forget what they've done to our families. Even I felt so eager to take revenge on them. But, I know that's not good." Chandra continued.

Dailami patted his son's shoulder. His decision to speak to his son was correct. Indeed, this son is in dire need of arrangement of heart, needs calmness of heart, needs sharpness of heart.

"Good choice, son. What is clear, do not be too late in a state of heartbreak and heartache. Being humiliated is not the end of the journey of life, being humiliated by others does not lead to death. Being insulted, not ruining your life" Dailami said.

"So why should we be hurt because of insults from others? Why should there be revenge? Doesn't revenge only add disease to your heart? You just need sharp eyes. Because the heart whose eyes are sharp, will not be easily offended by various insults, insults, reproaches or 'stamp' whatever is bad."

"A sharp heart is a heart full of sincerity, a heart full of tones of affection and tenderness to anything and anyone. Including those who insult, revile, and denounce. The one who is full of sincerity in his heart, will pray for those who insult him to get taufik and guidance. So that people who were full of harsh words, will turn 180 degrees to be very gentle and very polite. Never stop praying for them to be better,"

Dailami closed her age with a smile in front of Chandra who was currently smiling. It felt so calm to hear what the father had just said.

Chandra's eyes begin to heat up. "Thank you, sir!" the teenager hugged Dailami.

Dailami smiled too. "Be a strong boy, you will always be proud to have a son like you." whispered the man. Chandra also tightened his embrace on the middle-aged man's body.

Unknowingly Chandra's tears trickled down, the man blinked his eyes many times. The shadow of the past made him remember the affection of a father who is currently missed.

"Father.." lirih Chandra.

His crying broke, his longing and regret for his father was felt again. Chandra was very sorry that at the last moment Dailami breathed out, she was not by his side. Because at that time Chandra was already in Jakarta and continued his education.
