The Story of the Children of the Juragan
113. Marquez's Decision
Until the sun returned in the contest, Marquez and Melati had not yet come out of his room. Grandma who was feeling uneasy because her son and daughter-in-law had not eaten since morning, took the initiative to knock on the door.
Just a few taps, there was the sound of the door being opened.
"Mama." sizzled Melati when he saw her in-laws standing on the doorstep. It was seen he was carrying a tray containing food.
"The two of you from morning until night did not go out of the room. Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm sorry mom, it's worried you."
"No need to apologize. Because your mother caused you and your husband to. Now eat both of you." Grandma handed the tray to her daughter-in-law.
"If you don't mind, we want to eat downstairs, along with you mam" said Marquez, who had just finished his bath, and was seen walking towards the door.
"Hem, mommy was happy to hear that. Then, we wait below ya." with a smile mama looked at her son.
"Yes ma, we have something to say." added Marquez again.
Grandma nodded then walked away from her son's room.
"What do you want to tell them honey?" Melati looked at her husband's face quite curious.
"Our father and son are intelligent. Only by reading it can they make a decision. If they can make a decision in a short time, why can't I? Maybe it's too fast, and even too fast. But there's no harm in us following their steps, right? I want to be with my family in God's heaven."
"What did you say honey?" Melati wears a thin smile in surprise with her husband.
"We're going to do the same with my parents and children. Become a convert." said Marquez.
Melati was stunned by her husband's words. At her husband was a man who held to a principle. It is not easy to get stuck on something. And of course, very consider everything.
But now, she felt her husband was changing too quickly. Like his confession. Melati breathed deeply. She could only follow her husband's will. Because for a lifetime, she just wants to be with her husband.
"Well if it's your decision, I'll support it" said Melati, smiling.
"Thank you honey. You are the best wife." Marquez replied with a smile and a hug for his beloved wife. After that, the two walked down the stairs to the dining room.
The two immediately shifted the still-empty chair while in the dining room. Then he threw his body in there.
"Are you okay, Marq?" tanya grandpa looked at her son. The man nodded as well.
"Thank God."
"Didn't you want to say something? What'sthat?" Grandma looked at Marquez.
Marquez turned to his wife, looking for support. His strong soul and mental instantly evaporated at that moment.
"Em, Marq_Marquez would like to say, if we will also do the same as what you are doing" he said in a trembling tone.
"What!" yell at those who listen.
"Yes, maybe this is a decision I took in the shortest time, and hopefully not wrong. I want to reach heaven with my family."
"Alhamdulillah." said Wulan, grandpa and grandma together. They got up and hugged Marquez in turn. Clear crystals glide across each cheek.
After passing through the blue thing, they broke each other's hugs, and returned to the dining table to enjoy the dishes that had been provided. While talking about many things that concern about their beliefs.
