After joking a little with his mother, Anders continued his story about the woman.
“Can I continue my story?”
“Sorry, sorry. Yes, continue the story.” answered his mother by holding Anders' hand from across the table.
“So, Anders is there. While watching him talk to other students. Well, maybe God said something else, ma. At that time Anders dapet bench number 48 in the hall, it turns out he number 47.”
“Loh, next to dong?” ask mama.
“Yes, he's sitting right on my left. And he started the same conversation with me. Can you imagine that, ma? A woman who talks first. Though most men used to start.”
“Not all men can, and not all women can.”. “Then? What happen?” he added.
“She introduced herself.”
“The name is..” sahut mama.
“Ridha Ahda Sayyida.”
“Name is nice that's dear. You know what that means?”
“Yes.. I know. Women who get his leads and ridho.”
“Bene. Do you know where you are?”
“He himself said, didn't he. Anders was once again amazed by him, ma. Kan mama knows herself now tuh for a teenager to memorize the meaning of her name is very rare.”
“But he already knows and understands his name.”
“Means?”
“She said she wanted to be a woman who lived up to the meaning of her name. It means, he will strive and prioritize his religion first.”
Mama Anders smiled faintly at how her son was so excited about the new-known woman at his new High School.
In his heart, he did not want to comment on many things. Just listening to it can make your child feel relieved.
According to him, currently many teenagers who run away to negative things out there because the need to suffer is not fulfilled.
In fact, what makes it even more sad is that most of the time, children from harmonious families are also very vulnerable to falling into the abyss that endangers their lives later.
He did not want this to happen to his two favorite children.
Because it means, as a parent, he is trusted by his own children to complain about the irregularities that are being experienced by his son.
Her two children must be sure that she and her husband can help solve life problems that are not taught by the school. Including things that are taboo and deeper related to teen romance.
“And mama knows, at first I did not pay attention to him when talking because he was busy looking ahead. Although, indeed on stage there is a break due to technical constraints.”
“Then? She's mad at you?” ask mama.
“Ngak, mom. She quietly and politely asked for my attention. And he's interested in why I'm so fluent in English.”
“He's a good boy, baby. Make sure you don’t ruin her day.”
Anders was silent to his mother's words just now. He was very concerned about how Ridha was at that time. Anders felt a little sorry for being too concerned about his ego.
He was then, recklessly and at will trying to make Ridha amazed by his nature without thinking about how Ridha felt.
“Ma.. I’m so sorry.” Anders suddenly apologized to his mother in a sad tone.
“Why baby?”
Ting's..
Suddenly the sound of the front door bell rang out, and this time it was the hours that Papa Anders would normally get home from work.
“Loh, on the gathering in the dining room. Cook what today?” ask Papa Anders to his wife.
“Sup ribs, sorry yes today I did not cook as much as usual.”
“It’s okay.” briefly reply papa Anders. “Honey, eat ice cream. Hahaha.” he said as he kissed his little daughter.
“Papa, my ice cream is running out.” Syifa said
“Oh yes?”
Syifa simply nodded and smiled at her papa.
“Ya already, papa invites Syifa to buy ice cream again. But promise if you want to eat ice cream, you have to permit your mother first. Okay?”
“Okay.” cried her little daughter happily.
