The Choice of Abah

The Choice of Abah
Just You Know and Know Enough


After Ustadz Burhan left, they went back to discussing the requirements that Nabila wanted.


"So what do you want?"


Nabila tried to gather his guts back. And make sure that his tongue won't moan.


"Bismillah." Say it in the heart.


"Well, remember when I asked Nabila to refuse Abah's offer? Brother dodged how Big Brother asked Bila not to agree with our parents' plans? Brother never knew, since we were first known, and Brother threw a smile at Nabila. At that time, if you hope to be close to Kak Ozi. Nabila expected a lot from the meeting at that time, even God answered the prayer if, until finally Pak Haji wants to match us. But before that day, Big Brother asked Nabila to thwart what the parents wanted. Turns out? Big Brother chose the girl as a substitute for what the old brother wanted. Until finally hope when dashed after the girl appeared with Umi, and proudly introduced him to Nabila. If you can just shut up, try to accept that reality."


"So what do you want it to be like?"


"When you just want your brother to understand how I feel."


Onci let out a deep sigh, shaking his head while recalling the incident. Where when Onci asked Nabila to delay the application process that Abah pinta.


"Sister asked as if Nabila refused the proposal of his parents. As long as Brother Ozi knows, Nabila is the same as Dhea, i.i.ingin..."


Behind the door, Ustadz Burhan overheard their conversation, as he wanted to hand back the accountability report of the tabligh akbar event yesterday. But he stopped himself from going inside and going back to his desk.


"Why What?"


"Well to have Brother Ozi!"


Hearing Nabila's words, Onci recalled the prayer he had recited in the third night.


"O Allah, what is the answer of my prayer?" he said in his heart.


"Certainly? Does Nabila want to accept Kak Ozi with a situation that Nabila has seen and knows?"


"When talking like this is not to demand that you accept Bila, but let you know what Nabila feels."


"I'm sorry if, it's Brother's fault."


"When you're a girl, you know what it's like if Dhea Kak left. And if you don't want to snatch Dhea's happiness."


Onci was increasingly confused, and did not know the decision he had to choose and decide. And it felt like today he could not accompany Dhea, because there was no reason to leave today's meeting.


"I'm sorry if Nabila is not polite, I just want to express what I've been saying all along. Nabila pamit, because they have to prepare meeting materials this afternoon. Assalamu'alikum Brother."


"Wa'alikum salam."


She left the room and disappeared behind the door. Onci could not say anything because it was his fault.

The sun was right in the head, the voice of Zuhur's Adhan was heard, Onci's cellphone continued to vibrate he did not dare to pick it up, because he knew that it was a phone from Dhea. And for the umpteenth time the phone rings then he lifts up.


"Yank, I'm sorry I couldn't anter you. Because there's an important meeting and I can't leave." Nervous Onci.


"You should say and let me walk alone yank, if this is how I should chase time. Ayank would know that I have meetings with sponsors and management artists, to break up and become his dancer."


For the first time since his creation, Onci was unable to accompany Dhea. And he regretted the situation which was not on his side.


"Judah I'm leaving."


Dhea hangs up, Onci knows how vulnerable Dhea is, because of one weakness of their relationship, which is no other faith.


Today was an upsetting day for him. Since the morning, Nabila with his emotions revealed what he had been craving, coupled with Dhea's attitude that made him have to be patient.


And today also he had to attend a meeting of the formation of the board and the committee of the restoration of the new building. Complete already, today became a day full of emotions.


"Assalamu'alikum Warahmatullahi Westarukatuh." Ustadz Burhan opens the meeting.


The result of this meeting, decided that Onci was chosen as the chief executive, and Nabila became secretary, in accordance with Ustadz Burhan's plan. Designated managers are expected to be effective next week, and logistical responsibilities will be appointed Ustadz Burhan. The construction target was completed within Six Months, for three new buildings.


"Three buildings in six months, pursue the target really.Ngak kebayang busynya, pake appointed as the Chairman of the implementation of everything." Grunts Onci.


Onci knows and estimates that three new, two-story buildings with a six-month completion target actually work under work pressure, not to mention having to take care of faculty administration.


"What's behind all this I'm resigned to."


With the addition of his trust, it becomes a threat to the relationship between Dhea and Onci. And will reduce the ration of meeting him.


"There will be no more time for Dhea anther to teach, practice and others. Oh, my God, I don't know what's behind this." Onci in the heart.


And even more strange, why should be with Nabila in a daily management structure. The automatic will continue to communicate and meet with him.


One habit that will be lost in his life is, meet Dhea every day and maybe a week only twice, it was if not chased after day and night.

In a cafe and restaurant in South Jakarta, Indonesia, Dhea also met alone for an agenda discussion about the offer for her to become a permanent dancer for a famous female singer artist who became the hallmark of each performance often surrounded by dancers, dancers, and, she looks like an overseas singer like Beonce and J.Lo.


Being a dancer for that artist, became a dream for the national dancers. In addition to his great honor, experience and flying hours become more value.


"For the first time, you may be able to participate in performances in Malaysia and Singapore, prepare physically and likely you will be quarantined." Said a man who he is an EO as well as management artist, his name is Jhonatan .


"Yes Ka, I try not to disappoint everyone." The way he called out to Onci with the word Brother reminds us of the first time Dhea met Onci.


"You sign the contract first, and later we will discuss also the performance issue with the sponsor. Oh, you have a boyfriend?"


"Why is that Brother?"


"Actually we have a rule not to have a partner, because it will interfere with concentration later, but if it already has, well, understanding love to his partner about the demands of cooperation that we expect."


Dhea was also in a dilemma to tell the truth, if she already had a lover. But for the sake of his dream, finally Dhea said," If for a girlfriend does not have any kak, if it's close then there is."


'Which is near, ' he means? The oncikah? Isn't Onci the lover she's been in a long relationship with? Or is there another man that Dhea attributes to 'again near.'
