The Choice of Abah
Is it because we are different? (2 )

Maintaining it is difficult, taking care of what has been obtained that requires sacrifice, stopping the step when it is halfway, will waste the time that has been lived. What is left behind is a better hope, and a better idea of what will happen in the next day, and still full of mystery.

For a climber, the pleasure that can not be replaced with the material is when you reach the top of the mountain, just watching the sunset on the Western horizon, standing on the clouds, looking at the beautiful painting of the Great, the Great, how he created the mastless sky, the sun and the moon that bowed down to time, to reach its peak, must willingly pass through the aral, the uphill, the winding, the steep abyss and through the threat of wild beasts.

Just like what has been passed with Onci, he was ready with the consequences he had to accept, because he had chosen all of this, he said, when he chose Thea he had to leave 1000 friends, the time must be ready to seize and spend it with the girl he knew.

To get Dhea, not only time, material and other things that are not detailed in detail, including creating a new company that for the rest of his life, Onci is not familiar with fights or disputes, which is quite mind draining. And that problem always arises in his life, what is expected of his relationship with Dhea? Nothing but a serious relationship and anchored to the last dock, well, a guarantee.

Over time, Onci was introduced one by one to his friends, relatives and those closest to him. It feels futile if time is passed with a direction and a goal that is not well planned.

Onci once mentioned his relationship, which he said had gone too far, but was very tired because there was no purpose for all of this.

"Don't talk about heavy? We go all out, and I haven't graduated from college either. There are more serious things we have to discuss that you also know, you are a Muslim, your family background is from the Ustadz, and I myself from a family that is fanatical with Christianity."

Well, that answer is what Onci often receives, about his beliefs, and Onci himself alumni of the pesantren, and his education starts from an Islamic school. He was raised from a father who as a njai teacher, although in the village, but Onci's parents became the center of public attention. And I don't know what answer Onci received when he opened the conversation that he wanted to marry a Christian girl with a fanatical family.

Thea's own parents, so obedient to his teachings, they were considered the most active pilgrims, even the Dhea family itself the founder of a Christian association, and had its own church.

Onci often drove Dhea to the Church, paying attention to the way they worshiped, he also filled the guitar player gap when there was a shortage of service teams.

"Can you play yaank guitar? Ko David can't come for the service, can you help? Safe really, there is no reason for you to embrace our religion." Often Dhea asked him to fill the service.

Regardless of whether there was any interest, regardless of the binding religious norms, Onci chose on the basis of humanity he helped, because his girlfriend who asked Onci also returned the kindness of Thea and her family, he said, after all, Dhea also often reminded worship, and accompanied Onci Friday prayers patiently.

The hope arises, when Dhea talked lightly about the idea of making the concept of marriage, or if they come to a wedding event the girl always commented on interior design, the form of invitations and prewedding.

"Well we're really married, I want the concept to be funny like this?" Thea comments every time she meets her big family's wedding invitation.

"You trust me yank, for the concept of our wedding will be better than we see." Conscious and unaware of what Onci is saying, or just an empty plan with all of this.

"Father, can only pray that Dhea will become a woman of Solehah, close the aurat and keep her religion, and bring her brother closer to Allah. That's just a father's hope.." Hearing the father's statement, Onci did not have many stories about girls who were close, even been in a relationship for quite a long time.

"Dad is sure you know what kind of criteria the woman your Qur'an and the Apostle teach, pay attention to her descent or nasob, how she takes care of herself and her religion, the woman gives up the body, the woman gives up the body, the voice alone you also know it is aurat, until here you understand well? You've been in pesantren for a long time, you know what Islam teaches, right?"

From the words of the Father, far from his expectations and expectations, precisely Dhea was fashionable and her profession was far from what Dad described.

"Dhea is wearing a hijab!" Onci murmured in the heart.

Somehow the father's reaction if he really saw the original form of Dhea. Can-can be outin style as easy as twelve, and silatnya, even the name Onci can be removed from the Family Card and can not use 'Bin' Syahrul again, time yes use the name 'Bin Pulan'.

Not to mention that Dhea really wants to be introduced to the Onci family.

"Yank, why the hell am I you not loving to know your Mom and Dad? Or maybe you don't want to have my girlfriend? Ataaau you secretly have a wife? Bahaayaaa..." Sindir Dhea who was from the beginning until she had been in a relationship for months Dhea he never introduced to his family.

"You have known me to my extended family, even to my cousins. My turn? Know the form of your parents you do not love."

Every time Dhea asked, she had to think hard, to find the right answer. Starting from the reason, his parents again outside the city, until looking for reasons that his parents have their respective busyness.

"I want to know you as my parents, but how they are also busy. There will be time yaank, again you are ready to wear hijab?" Onci Reason.

"I can wear a veil, but don't rapet-rapet also yaaank, geraaaah I got."

"Well, I promise to take you to Abah and Umi, but then will you? Until you're sure you want to marry me!" Onci's answer is that Thea does not ask to be introduced to her parents, as Onci knows Dhea's weakness when she is confronted with serious discussions about her relationship.

"..........." Dhea was silent and not a word was said.
