The Light of Love in a Third Night

6 Years ago, NEW YORK CITY

this morning Deddy somehow told us all to prepare neatly and wear polite clothes, after we were ready to ded told us all to gather in the living room.

I was the last person to gather in the room, I wore a dress that people might say was far from polite, but for me it was polite, if you look where I live.

It's not deddy's name if you don't tell me to change clothes because it doesn't match what you told me to.

" SHANUM,,,!! you didn't hear Deddy's words ! " deddy's voice was heard holding back his anger,

" yes ded, I listen, it's been polite ded, oh come on ded don't tell me you told me to wear closed clothes like mommy, come on ded this isn't winter"

" SHANUMMM,,,,,,,!!!!"

" OK, OK," I said lazily, I went back to my room to change into a mommy-like outfit.

"Well, what happened to Deddy these few days, I don't seem to know him anymore, even these few days Deddy often held back his anger because my attitude that according to him does not match with that deddy wants SUCKS !! when the deddy guest left here, bored me, so I am not as free as before" gruntu I in my heart

I went back to the room again after changing my clothes, this time I wore a long dress in pink calm with a blezer of grey calm, ash, this time I let my hazelnut-colored curls break down, my hair was indeed different on its own, because my hair is a combination of mom's hair that is dark black and the yellow to emasan gold, even my eyes are different, my eyes are like the grendma eyes of mommy, amber, colored, eye color that can be said to be rare but beautiful.

even almost all the mommy family who were in Turkey said I was a duplicate of grendma.

True my grendama is very beautiful, even though I never met her but Grendpa always told me about it and showed me some photos of grendma when young, true grendma is very beautiful even I was stunned by her beauty, strangely none of Grendma's children are similar to her, instead I look like grendma, whose nottabend is her grandson, strange is not it?, but let it is also not my business.

" wear this "mom walked towards me after I sat down beside abraham, mom handed me an ash-colored scarf, mom,

" mom it's summer, mom can't possibly tell me to wear this scarf" I pointed out trying to avoid the crazy idea that mom and ded told me to have since

" mom didn't tell you to wear a scarf, mom told you to wear a headscarf" my eyes were perfectly rounded with mommy's words beyond my expectations.

" oh my god mom,,, "

I grabbed the head covering from mommy's hand in annoyance, I don't know what happened to Deddy, who suddenly shouted with me, even his usual abraham was angry when I was bullied and hurt or even the deddy would scold me he immediately defended him, but this time no, he seemed indifferent to all that was going on.

" okay, since everything is gathered, let's immediately go to the mosque islamic cultural center "

" what,,, what,,,,?? are you okay ded??" screeches abraham, This time my brother spoke up, but from now on he seemed to not care.

" why son ?" ask deddy

" ded, you know what Deddy just said? did I hear wrong ?"

" no you didn't hear wrong, and Ded realized what Ded just said !! " Deddy.

from now on I can guess what deddy will do, with the attitude of deddy which changed a few days ago, in addition today, today,with the same mommy clothes as my Islamic college friend, Ok! I understand after this what will be ded and mom's decision, and I hope they don't force me to follow in her footsteps.

It turns out that my guess was right this morning we were all made to shock with the words deddy and mommy.

Yes you know! this green dome mosque, and the people who were here, witnessed that adam james smit and his wife embraced Islam.

Me and Abraham were silent, not knowing what to say? although ded and mom did not force us to follow in his footsteps, we felt a stranger among them.

Plus the attitude of Abraham who arrived out left me who was still silent, but finally I decided to get closer to mom and ded,

" I sory ded, I still can't accept this? " i say with regret, I know it's their decision, as a child I can only support what they have decided.

" I know grils, ded will not force you to follow us, let time be answered, let everything flow like flowing water" said deddy as he hugged me, I sobbed in a deddy's embrace, Deck that I longed for, a hold that always made me feel safe, a hold that can always make me release to the end and distress that I experienced, whether until when I can feel it.

hope you like 😊😊😊
