Nufael quickened his footsteps after getting out of the car he was riding in. It seemed that Nufael was impatient to give the good news he had just received to Niswah and Kasha.

"Assalaamu 'alaikum"

"Umma, Kasha."

"Wa 'alaikumus salaam, Nufael what is it?, how do you seem to be so happy?"

The one who came to see Nufael was neither Niswah nor Kasha but Shima. Even without hesitation Shima questioned the reason for Nufael's happy face even a smile was also engraved on his face.

"Niswah equals Kasha to where is Shima?"

"It's inside."

Without lingering any longer, Nufael immediately entered his house. Then followed by Shima who made him curious. Shima did not question Nufael who did not answer his question, maybe Niswah and Kasha were the first people Nufael had to tell first before Nufael would also tell Shima.

"Assalaamu 'alaikum, Umma, Kasha."

Nufael seeks the whereabouts of his wife and sister. The one he was looking for finally appeared to him. And Nufael went straight to them.

"Wa'alaikumus salaam, Buya what's up?"

"We sit down first."

Before we tell you what happened. Nufael tells Niswah and Kasha to sit down first. So did Shima who started to join them.

"What's Buya doing?"

Nufael still reflects on the smile. Niswah made him not understand. And very curious. What made her husband show a smile of happiness.

"Alhamdulillah Umma, there is good news.

"What good news is Buya?." Niswah was increasingly curious to finally get carried away with the happy atmosphere when he saw the husband was so enthusiastic about telling a good news.

Kasha chose silence. Although it is the same with Niswah who is curious but Kasha prefers to focus on listening. And so is Shima. Let the Niswah who represents him ask Nufael.

"Sir Jevin has changed, thank God earlier Mr. Jevin same Arfan prayer dzuhur congregated in the mosque."

Suddenly Niswah's face turned flat. It seems like it's not good news for him. It doesn't matter at all. Mr. Jevin is not a member of the family.

Unlike Shima, she was shocked. And his face turned happy. "Are you serious El?, Mr Jevin has changed?, Mr Jevin praying dzuhur congregated in the mosque?"

Nufael nodded many times to convince Shima to believe him. "Yes Shima, I'm serious, more clearly you ask Arfan, he knows better because Jevin was at the mosque with Arfan."

"Thank God, Mr. Jevin finally changed too, I'm happy to hear that." Shima was grateful for the good news. Honestly, Shima was happy to hear that. Although Jevin was only the boss in her husband's office but as a fellow Muslim Shima was also happy to hear that Mr. Jevin had changed more precisely had repented.

Kasha smile. "Alhamdulillah, may Mr. Jevin Istiqomah." Kasha was pleased and did not hesitate to pray for Jevin Istiqomah in his change to the better.

"Aamiin Allahumma aamiin." Nufael and Shima guarantee the Kasha prayer simultaneously.

"Oh yes Kasha, Mr. Jevin said to Brother, he wants to say thank you to you, because you have awakened it. Thank God now Mr. Jevin loves God."

Kasha was moved to hear it. Both eyes glazed. Kasha's heart was so soft that she cried so easily, let alone hear the news that Jevin loved God. As a fellow Muslim, Kasha must be happy.

"Alhamdulillah." Kasha lirih.

Now Nufael turned to look towards Niswah. Niswah's face looked different from theirs. Nufael was confused by the expression of his wife's seemingly ordinary face.

"Umma why?, why does it not seem to be happy to hear this good news, as fellow Muslims we should be happy Umma if there are our brothers who return to be servants of faith."

Niswah smiled too. Nufael knew that it was a smile of compulsion. "Momu?" Nufael asked the fake smile.

"Umma is happy when Buya, just ordinary, after all he is not who we are, family is not. And one more thing, she's free to change if she's still wasting both her parents, right?"

Niswah reminds me of Jevin who wasted both his parents. Until whenever Niswah will always remember that. For Niswah as long as Jevin is still wasting both his parents, as long as Jevin has not changed.

Nufael paused for a moment, then told his wife. But Nufael hopes that Jevin has apologized to his parents. And love them back.

"We pray that Mr. Jevin apologizes to his parents immediately, and loves them again."

"Aamiin's." Kasha and Shima guaranteed with hope. So also with Niswah who also hopes that Jevin again becomes a child who loves both parents.

Jevin stands in a big, luxurious house. He looked at the house with a smile. Then Jevin rushed to knock on the door. But Jevin shut himself up to knock on the door. Jevin gathers his courage back, until finally he completely knock the door of the house.

Kreggs

The door is open. Showing the figure of a middle-aged woman who was surprised instead of playing saw Jevin standing before him. She was the woman who had given birth to a son thirty years ago. She is Rifda, a mother who for many years longed for her submissive son. And now the son he had longed for was standing before him.

"Je-Jevin." Both of Rifda's eyes glazed over. He could not believe that the son he had always longed for was now standing before him, right before his eyes.

"Mama." After many years, Jevin finally called the woman Mama again.

"My son." Pekik Rifda who immediately hugged Jevin very tightly.

Jevin misses his mom a lot. Jevin can not deny all this time Jevin's heart always misses the figure of the mother who has given birth to him. Jevin had no intention of hating his parents all this time, but it was circumstances that told him to hate them. But Jevin is still a child who always misses being together with his parents.

Jevin was so grateful. God opened his eyes. God has dispelled the resentment and hatred that has filled the depths of his heart for years.

Slowly their arms came off. Rifda is still in tears. Jevin couldn't bear to see it. So sinful Jevin all this time has made his mother always shed tears. Jevin was sure God must have been very angry with him. Jevin admitted his mistake. Jevin realized that all this time he had been an ungodly child.

"Mama, forgive Jevin Ma, forgive Jevin all this time Jevin has made Mama cry, make Mama sad, Jevin is a disobedient child. Hit Jevin Ma, hit Jevin!"

Rifda takes off the grip of Jevin's hand telling him to hit him. Rifda would never do that. Jevin is a very dear boy where maybe Rifda will dirty his hands by hitting his own son.

"Jevin, Mama has forgiven you, long before you apologized, Mama has forgiven you, Mama is happy now you are no longer angry with Mama."

"Jevin loves Mama, Jevin promised Jevin wouldn't be a bad boy again, Jevin promised Ma."

Rifda smiled gratefully. "Thank God, Mama's happy to hear it, yeah let's go in, son."

Rifda immediately invites Jevin to enter their house. The house that Jevin left five years ago. No change, just like before. His memory instantly returned to the time five years ago. Jevin is grateful to finally be able to step on this house again, the house where he was raised lovingly by his Mama and Papa.

At once, Jevin's gaze was fixed on a middle-aged man who had just appeared to him. The gaze of the middle-aged man was unfriendly. He looked at Jevin sharply and then turned to his wife.

"Why did he come here, Ma?"

Rifda had not had time to answer questions from her husband because Jevin had already stepped in, approaching the Papa who was not interested in looking at him.

"Papa."

Suddenly, Jevin knelt before Rozin. Jevin hugged one of the legs of the Papa with the deepest regret even tears came out of his two eyes.

"Papa, Jevin's sorry, Jevin's been an ungodly kid all this time, sorry Jevin Pa, Jevin's sorry."

Rifda could not see the son kneeling in tears in front of her husband. Jevin regretted all his bad treatment in the past. Bad treatment of his parents.

Rozin did not squint at all. He was silent and silent. Not one bit Rozin looked down to see the face of the son who was crying and apologized to him.

Jevin understands. It was not easy for her father to forgive her. Jevin realized that he had gone too far. It's okay if the Papa doesn't forgive him most importantly Jevin sincerely apologizes to his Papa for his sins in the past.

Slowly Rozin's facial expression changed. There was no longer that sharp gaze, no more look of vexation. His eyes were teary, and the look on his face seemed sad, more precisely moved.

Rozin grabs Jevin's shoulders, lifting him up to make Jevin stand up again. "Wake up Jevin, let's get up." Rozin's voice softened and softened.

Jevin returns to his feet with the help of Papa. Their eyes meet. It's been a long time since father and son have looked at each other.

"Papa has forgiven you, you are still Papa's son, Papa's proud son."

Jevin could not hear the statement of the Papa who still considered him as his son, his proud son even though Jevin had hurt his heart. Jevin really feels stupid because he used to waste both parents as well as Papa and Mama.

Finally, the father and son embraced each other. Rozin is angry and disappointed in Jevin but there is no reason for him not to forgive his only child, his own flesh and blood. As bad as it is, Jevin is still his son. And now Jevin's changed. There is no longer a disobedient son Jevin, there is a filial son Jevin to his parents.

Seeing her husband and child hugging Rifda immediately approached them and joined the two men she loved. Rifda is very grateful because finally his son returned again his embrace and their family is now intact again as usual.

❤❤❤

Drettt drattt drett

The sound of vibration came from a flat object lying on the middle room table. Nufael took the flat object. There's an incoming call from Rozin. Nufael immediately picked him up.

"Hello assalaamu 'alaikum."

"Wa 'alaikumus salaam, Nak Nufael." Rozin said on the other end.

Rozin was standing by the window of his house while calling Nufael. And behind him was Jevin who was greedy eating Rifda cuisine. Jevin misses his mother's cooking so much. Rifda was delighted to see Jevin sitting next to her eating so voraciously.

"Son Nufael sorry yes afternoon-afternoon like this I bother, I just want to share happiness with Nak Nufael."

"Yes Mr. Rozin is okay, not bothering either. If I may know Mr. Rozin wants to share what happiness sir?"

Rozin turned to his son and wife and smiled at their togetherness, plus the face of his wife who never absent to review his smile.

"So this is Nak Nufael, my son Jevin has changed, he has apologized to me and my wife, even now he has made his mother smile again, I am grateful that my son is finally devoted again to me and my wife as both parents."

Nufael's heart was touched. Rozin managed to share his happiness with her. Nufael was delighted to hear this good news. Jevin has really changed. Not only did he become a believing servant, but he also became a devoted son to his parents.

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that, sir."

"Papa, let's eat here, don't blame Jevin, if the food runs out." Jevin calls Papa to join him for a meal.

Jevin's voice reached Nufael's ears. A happy smile spread across Nufael's face. The voice Nufael heard was really Jevin's. That means that Jevin is currently with his parents. Nufael was grateful if Jevin had changed and devoted again to his parents.

His phone connection was also cut off. Nufael put his flat object back where it was. Nufael was a little surprised when she turned her body, Niswah was already behind her. Niswah did not mean to make her husband dependent, actually Niswah was about to call her husband but Nufael had already turned her body first so that it caused a sense of shock to Nufael. 

"Who called Buya?"

"Sir Rozin, Umma."

"Oh yes Umma, Mr. Rozin called Buya to tell him thank God Mr. Jevin had apologized to Mr. Rozin and his wife, even Buya had not overheard Mr. Jevin's voice, that means Mr. Jevin's already devoted to both his parents."

"Oh, thank God then." Niswah was also happy to hear Jevin was dutiful again to his parents. There is no reason for Niswah not to be happy because a Jevin has really changed. But somehow Niswah does not like Jevin, perhaps because of past events, where Jevin confidently proposes to Kasha. Fortunately Kasha refused, otherwise Kasha would suffer from having a husband like Jevin. And Niswah will not let that happen.

Without Nufael and Niswah realizing, behind them was Kasha standing behind a wall. Kasha overheard the conversation of her brother and sister-in-law. Honestly, Kasha was also happy when she heard the news that Jevin had returned to being a devoted child to both parents.

"Alhamdulillah, finally Mr. Jevin filial again to his parents, I am happy to hear it, thank God You have awakened Mr. Jevin, I am glad to hear it, hopefully in the future Mr. Jevin will become a better person. Aamiin's."

Kasha could not help her happiness. Somehow Kasha felt relieved because Jevin had started to serve his parents again. If the relationship with both parents Kasha will be easily touched and will be carried away, his name is also an orphan who was born without a parent by his side.  Kasha really hopes that there will be no more children out there who are like the old Jevin, who could waste both parents.
