Garong Cat

“What! I've been patient enough with all this Zain, your parents should know!,” said Nafrini.

Nafrini ran by the side of the road.

Zain continues to pursue Nafrini.

“Wait,” Zain managed to grab Nafrini's hand.

The two of them stopped running.

“Wait until tomorrow, it's Nafrini night,” said Zain with a breath of excitement.

Nafrini crying.

“I've been cape continuously hidden from your family, I've been patient to see my loved ones marry other women, now what should I do? Do I have to let go of you?,” said Nafrini who was still as hot as crying.

“No Nafrini, I love you too, you must be patient in a moment,” Zain pleads with Nafrini.

Still crying, Nafrini nodded and wanted to return home.

Annisa, who was finished from the bathroom, wondered why Zain and Nafrini had come from outside.

“Where are you out of?,” asked Annisa.

Nafrini did not reply, she turned her face away from Annisa.

“We are from outside for a moment,” Zain replied.

“Please finish your meal, I'm done,” said Annisa sitting back in the dining room.

The next day Annisa was ready to go to campus without using a veil.

“Why not wear the veil?,” asked Zain.

“Lukaku is healed,” Annisa replied briefly.

Zain noticed the wound on Annisa's face.

“And I've given you terms,” Zain speaks seriously.

“I told you, I will wear a veil only because of God, not to qualify from you,” Annisa said and left Zain.

“Basic stubbornness,” grumbled Zain.

“If it wasn't for the parents' wishes, I would never have married her,”.

Shortly afterwards Nafrini came down from her room, already wearing neat clothes.

“Come, we go to your parents' house now!,” said Nafrini.

“Wait, we can't be reckless Nafrini,” Zain hold Nafrini.

“Alleta? Now what reason!.”

Tok .. tok.

Someone knocked on the door.

Zain was surprised, he immediately pulled Nafrini's hand to rush into his room.

“Wait here!,” said Zain while locking the door of Nafrini's room.

“Zaaaiinnn!,” Nafrini yelling.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” Zain opens the door.

He was surprised to find out the arrival of his father and mother.

“Please enter Father, Mother,” said Zain let both parents in.

“You're alone here?,” asked Mom.

“Iya Bu, incidentally Annisa just left for campus,” replied Zain while giving two glasses of water.

“Mother just wants to check your kitchen needs, do not let you starve, I'm afraid Annisa did not tell you that the kitchen ingredients are running out, she said,” said Mother while checking the contents of the refrigerator and the food on the shelf.

“Aman Ma'am, he will definitely talk to me,” said Zain, cold sweat pouring out for fear Nafrini shouted from the upper room.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Annisa suddenly back home again.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, my son-in-law came,” said Mr. Guntoro.

Annisa was surprised by the arrival of her in-laws, she shook hands with her two in-laws.

“Why are you home?,” asked Zain.

“Ah yes, suddenly the class in liburkan, all the lecturers are in training,” replied Annisa.

Duk ... duk .. duk

The sound of someone kicking the door many times.

Zain began to panic, knowing the origin of the voice.

Annisa just put on a relaxed face.

“What is it?,” asked Mother who also heard the sound.

“Cat,” reply Zain origin.

“You pet cats?,” asks Mom to look towards Annisa.

“Iya, we keep the cat garong Bu,” replied Annisa smiling little while glancing towards Zain.

“Ah Annisa this is-anything, if you want to shop for kitchen needs just tell Zain yes, later he,” Mother's words stopped.

“Zaaaaiin, open the door!,” Nafrini shouted until heard from below.

“Who is it!,” said Mr. Guntoro, without further ado he immediately climbed the stairs and approached the whereabouts of the voice.

Zain was very panicked, his hands were cold, his forehead was hot. Annisa looks towards Zain, actually Annisa wants immediately both of Zain's parents to know the whereabouts of Nafrini.

“Zaiinn open the door!,” Nafrini still yelling.

“Where lock the door!,” Mr. Guntoro can not wait to open a locked room.

Zain had to give his father the key.

Mr. Guntoro very quickly opened the door.

Mom and Dad were surprised to see a woman in the room.

Mr. Guntoro glared and alternately looked towards Annisa and Zain.

Annisa bowed and so did Zain.

Mr. Guntoro has realized something is wrong, he invites Nafrini down, and explains who he is.

Everyone was already sitting in the living room, Zain could only resign. Annisa smiled with relief, as she now did not have to hide her lover Zain.

“Who are you?,” asked Zain's mother.

“What are you doing here?, it looks like you are not Indonesian,” continued Ibu.

“Include, I Nafrini, Om and Aunt must be Zain's parents,” replied Nafrini with a smile.

Both of Zain's parents were increasingly astonished.

“Betul, this Nafrini is Annisa's guest?,” asked Mr. Guntoro.

“Not, I am Zain's guest,” replied Nafrini

Mom and Dad were surprised to hear that.

“In fact I have been in contact with Zain for a long time, I am his girlfriend Zain, I am from Cairo, we met when Zain was in college there,” explained Nafrini.

Mom and Dad were surprised to hear Nafrini's explanation.

Zain could only lower his gaze.

Mother looked at Annisa, as if not showing sadness instead Annisa looked very happy.

“I came here just to collect Zain's promise, that he will marry me,” Nafrini continued.

“Married?,” asked Mr. Guntoro surprised.

“Zain means what?,” continued Mr. Guntoro.

“Iya Om, so Zain was promised to marry me, making me his second wife,” Obviously Nafrini.

“You? Want to be Zain's second wife?,” asked Mom.

“Where is your pride? Still continuing the relationship that clearly your lover already has a legitimate wife,” said Mother.

“I have to ask, where is Annisa's pride? He who has captured my lover,” Nafrini replied to Mother's words in a high tone.

“You are not polite huh, speaking to the old man in a high tone?,” Mother turned her face away.

“Patient mother yes, Annisa earlier said, that we keep a cat garong,” Annisa now dare to open her voice.

Mother stared at Annisa, feeling sorry for all this time her son dared to hurt a woman.

Mr. Guntoro held his head, he was completely dizzy, even more ashamed of Annisa with the behavior of his son.

“Look, Zain did you choose this father or this woman? If you choose Father, keep your household and if you choose this woman, please marry her,”.

Zain pensive.

“Dad, Zain can marry Nafrini?,” ask.

“Boleh, but do not expect Dad will consider you a child, from that second you are not a child Father,” said Dad disappointed.

Everyone who heard Dad's words were shocked.

“Dad, but Zain loves Nafrini so much.”

“How dare you say that in front of your wife!?” Zain's father was angry.

“Dad, Zain doesn't care, Zain has been following Dad's wishes, Dad has always arranged Zain's life, until Istripun has to be the Father! Dad, Zain is big, Zain wants to be free to choose whatever Zain wants!,” this time Zain dares to fight his father.

“You .. You dare to fight Dad? You have dared to defy Dad?,” asked his father very distrustful of the behavior of his son.

“Iya Father, this time Zain will obey his heart, Zain will marry Nafrini,” said Zain insistent.

“Zain, what about your wife?,” asked Mother in tears.

“Zain will divorce him, after all Zain has never touched him,” replied Zain looking to Annisa.

Hearing that Zain's father was in shock, he rubbed both hands into his head, then held onto his chest that felt a bit.

“Dad,” Zain approaching Dad.

“Don't .. touch,” said his father withstood the pain.

Suddenly Zain's father was unconscious.

“Ayaaahhh,” Mom sobbing.
