The events of 5 years ago, which Afriadi will never forget.
That time. A month before that. Riandi wants to bring all his extended family a reunion. Riandi is Afriadi's Father's Name. Of course the cost is borne by Riandi. All the big families want to join the reunion, sometimes get together - crowded with large families, especially free, who does not refuse about free. They all agreed with Riandi. Set the date of their objections, May 5, 20XX.
During the course of time, no one canceled the reunion plan, instead they were all impatient to leave.
One day before the departure of the reunion, May 4, 20XX.
Afriadi sat down casually with his master's men, accompanied by tea and fried bananas, in a lounge waiting for Maghrib to arrive.
"Afriadi are you sure you don't want to come?" asked Riandi to his son who was sitting opposite him reading a book, just like him, reading a book.
"No, Pa, I'm busy with my college business." Afriadi replied, his gaze did not run away from the book, his hand opened the next page.
"Ep... Not complete, if you gather less." Riandi closed the book, put it on the table, next to her, "Or just delay, wait for you to have some free time."
"Don't Pa, you've been told by all our families that if it's canceled how they feel, don't make me an alsan to postpone this reunion." Afriadi closed his book, staring at Riandi.
"Yes... Papa knows, but what are you?," said Riandi staring back, "It's not that you also want to get together."
"Yes... I want to, but how else." Afriadi rubbed his neck, his eyes running to look at the ceiling of the house.
"Roof... How is this ma?." Riandi asked Afiqah who was sitting next to him.
From that Afiqah his mother Afriadi just silence, enjoy tea, was surprised when asked the question, "Em... If the mama actually agreed with Afriadi because if the reunion is postponed, it will be how they feel especially, father and mother. In part, if delayed is not it too mepet, certainly disappointed once they even though tomorrow they want to leave. Unless it's another week."
"Ep... Then we'll go tomorrow." Riandi nodded, grabbing his tea glass.
"That's dong." Afriadi smiled broadly, taking his mother's Afiqah tos. Afiqah smiled broadly at receiving it.
Huh... Riandi let out a short sigh, "This child's mother is the same. But son, can you catch up with us later?."
Afriadi's eyes were rounded to hear his father's question.
"If you can't join the show, can you come to dinner together? Day 2." Riandi grinned filed 2 fingers in after her cheek.
Afriadi shut up, think first.
"Can I son," pinta Riandi, put on a difficult facial expression for Afriadi to refuse.
Afriadi replied with a sweet smile, seeing Afriadi smiling Riandi smiling widely, and Afiqah also smiling sweetly.
Not felt the time maghrib has entered, azan roared and with merdunya in every majid. They immediately prepare to perform congregational prayers’ah.
After the prayer, and dinner, Afiqah packed the goods that will be brought tomorrow, while, Afriadi and his papa spoke in the living room.
"Sir papa there's a little message for you," said Riandi fished for Afriadi's curiosity sitting next to him playing a cell phone.
Afriadi's curiosity was not provoked, he typed his phone keyboard to reply to someone's message.
"The answer is right with the cell phone. Reply chat who is he? From that smile continues." Riandi's head extends, his eyes like he wanted to get out of his place to see who Afriadi chat with.
Feeling someone peek at him chat with whom, Afriadi quickly turned off his phone. His eyes looked at the spy, "What do you see?"
"Knowledge." Riandi smiled broadly, "Who is that girl? Prospective son-in-law huh? When would you like to be known to us-us?," teased Riandi with a question.
"Friends only. He's just asking for a job." Afriadi's red face met with teasing Riandi.
"Beauty really fits the criteria" said Riandi memggoda Afriadi.
"What message pa?," five minutes had passed since Riandi had provoked Afriadi's curiosity, Afriadi suddenly recalled, looking back with a face that was still meeting asking, all of you diverting the subject.
Wha what?... Riandi looked at me asking.
The message was Pa... Afriadi replied by rolling his eyeballs.
Riandi tried to remember. The index finger tapped his chin, "Ooo.. That is, you are new S1 and papa hope you can continue S2 or until S3... And papa has already told you, if our school is a hereditary monerk system down. Every first child of the heir gets the position of Principal. The headmaster of our family is down, do not lift the headmaster who is not from our family, unless represented, a message from your grandfather... The point is papa wants you to replace papa's position as the principal..."
"Ep... But not right now, either" said Afriadi.
"I remember that papa was the first child of 2 Bibik brothers now works in a field that they like, while the first child inevitably has to like the profession that has been provided for him. Bibik as a Doctor.
The principal has been of all three generations including Papa. The first generation is an only child, the second generation is an only child grandfather, and the third generation is the firstborn of 2 siblings.
I've asked permission to be an Army, businessman, or others never allowed to be with Bibik and his eldest son who would not want to be the principal, what else Grandpa and Grandma. I also want to be accepted into that position.
If the relatives of mama, I know they live simply in the village of work, because mama comes from a simple family in the village. I learned a lot from them about the simplicity of life, my great experience I got a lot there.
Tomorrow they'll all be together, go to the reunion. Huh.. Want to come along, hang out with all of them, want to hear a great story from all of them." Inner Afriadi was speechless staring at the ceiling of the house.
"Yes... No son, will papa still be around, unless your papa is gone." Riandi patted Afriadi on the shoulder, cutting off his daydream, "But you're the principal of S2 not S1"
"Why pa?" asked Afriadi.
"So your papa is S1, at least you can be a little higher, because from the principal who used to be until now, S1 lined up. At least you're S2, don't S1 get it" Riandi said.
"Eye pa." Afriadi nodded slowly.
"Ah... Almost forgot." Riandi's hand poked out his eel, "D-heard this kid, there's more to it than that.
"What pa?." Afriadi wondered what was most important.
"Here papa whispers." Riandi's hand waved, alerting the approaching afriadi.
Afriadi also approached out of curiosity, when he brought his ears closer ...
Riandi yelled at his son's ears, "ISTRIIII!!!"
Ahahaha...
"Why should a wife?." Afriadi asked did not understand the meaning of his father, his face did not show a look of annoyance at the behavior of his father.
"Yes... If you don't have a wife then who else will replace you as the next principal, if not your son" Riandi explained.
"Important pa" said Afriadi.
Ha... PLAKKIS... Riandi hit his thigh, which was hit with pain, "It's not important, it's important. So that you have children, there are descendants, there are successors,
mom and Dad made you use flour, love water, love mom bloated, stir, then burn, so. That way.
Yep... That's it, you've learned." Riandi menolot scolded her son.
"Yes I know, just not right now, right?." Afriadi rubbed his thighs annoyed with suspicion on his Papa, "Or don't you have a plan to match me? I don't want Pa, I want to find it for myself."
"Yes... You want to find it yourself, yes... I've been looking for it myself, besides the girl who knows papa, there's nothing suitable to be betrothed to you," said Riandi still upset with Afriadi's answer who said it was not important.
"Thank God," Afriadi rubbed his chest.
"Hey! Remember this, you can't date before marriage" Riandi said.
"What?." Afriadi was surprised, "How can you date Pa?." Afriadi.
"Anybody can, your mama.
Just so you know yes, according to your grandfather, if the romantic courtship runs out during courtship, do not get carried away again to the household if there is a little more stay, just a little more, if the one who is not dating is romantic, it is more friendly."
"So papa was betrothed?." Afriadi.
"Yes, it's not your own papa who's choosy" said Riandi, pointing his thumb at her.
"She can't date, but papa's picky." Afriadi looked at his Papa.
"Father your mother's man on the street. Take it straight to the heart. Stamped as a future wife," Riandi takjim steady.
"I mean Papa, you know,
Papa met the mother on the street, then immediately Papa Lamar," said Afriadi, making a thin smile.
"Not that, either, son. Need a process." Riandi answered lightly.
"Oooooo...
Then how did papa and mama bis meet? Tell me a little," pinta Afriadi liked to hear the story of his father first, let alone when his father was small.
"Huhahah's...
Shame papa wants a story.
Gini son, at that time your father was religiously blind, a delinquent, often wandering night - night. That time accidentally saw your beautiful mama passing in front of papa himself.
Haha....
For some reason this heart is like being hit by a center, looking at mom, papa immediately said stop your mama. Your mama turned around and papa went straight on saying" I LOVE YOU" This mouth is from the mere whistle the habit has said so to the girls.
OH... Unexpectedly, your Mama's answer really made my heart melt, answering "YOU ARE NOT LOVE FOR ME BUT YOU ARE ONLY LOVE FOR MY FACE. IF SO, I DON'T DESERVE YOU TO LOVE, BEFORE YOU LOVE YOUR MOTHER, THEN ME" After that Your Mama left Papa who had already experienced her love.
that was the first meeting.
The second meeting papa said Papa had been waiting for him in a regular place yesterday, Papa thought he would not meet with him, but in fact Papa met and immediately confronted him, "I ALREADY LOVE MY MOTHER, I ALREADY LOVE MY MOTHER, MAY I LOVE YOU", Your MAMA replied "IF YOU REALLY LOVE ME, MEET MY PARENTS," After that your mama went home to leave your very centred papa again.
the third meeting, the father himself who met his master, not unexpectedly his father your mother received the father well well, and his parents, papa should be able to read the Qur'an, can be a priest, bilal, and so on, can bathe the corpse, can mesholatkan the corpse, understand religion, within 3 months he gives time, yes because of the love of papa to your mother, papa can pass it all, papa can pass it all, papa went back there with a fulfilled persuasion, what your mother's father said "LET MY SON DECIDE WHETHER HE WANTS IT OR NOT", and your mother replied, " IF IT'S TRUE THAT YOU LOVE ME BECAUSE OF GOD, PROVE IT, TAKE ME TO PENGHULU, WE CARVE OUR LOVE STORY THERE" HOW brave my father heard your mother'S answer. Both families agreed, and a few days later papa married your mother.
It's still romantic right now."
"Ep... Papa the basket first." Afriadi stroked his beardless with his big smile, "Knowledge yes. He said not flirtatious."
Riandi laughed bitterly, often the mass he did not tell to want his son to know and obey him, so know.
"But, son, if you get married later, but you have no feelings what, grow that love, a sincere love because of God," sahut mama Afriadi arrived - suddenly came to sit in the Riandi. Apparently from earlier mama Afriadi heard all her husband's stories, her cheeks until reddened, and her heart was pounded to hear her husband's story, 'it turns out she still remembers too' Afiqah thought.
"But try to get your wife to be 5 or 9, 10 years old from you, so if you are 25 years old then your wife is only a dozen years old" Riandi told Afriadi, forehead shrinking. "Why?."
"Yes, like your mom and dad.
But try to find something as chatty as your mama." Riandi's hand pinched his wife's cheek.
"Why?." Afriadi asked again.
Mama Afriadi let go of her husband's pinch.
"Son... Let it be romantic. But, if you get that stubborn one, that's even better. Haha...
So you can guide him.
If papa with your mama even papa who guided where you. Hahaha..." Riandi answered cheerfully.
"If mama's the message, love her, like you love mama," mama Afriadi also gave a message to Afriadi.
"Okay ma." Afriadi nodded quickly—polos.
That night was long, there were many things that the family talked about, Afriadi did not know that it was the last moment he was with his family.
