"What's going on?You're so surprised?"Continues Maryam.
"Eh no, Ge just wonder, kok want Om Albert was converted to Islam, but Dad said he still has his Mama in NY. Will his mother not be angry?"Ge asked so innocently.Alex just smiled.
"Honey, Albert was independent a long time ago, so you don't worry if she often makes her own decisions!"

"You want to tell me about it with Papa, or your own damper?"Alex exclaimed, Al immediately stared fixedly at Alex.
"Pa, when Papa was getting married to Umi. Did Papa also fidget like this?"Al asked Alex.
"It shouldn't be you asking, but it was El who asked Papa that question!"Hearing Alex's answer, Al was bowed lethargic, Al realized if his question was wrong.
"Al, loving someone is not wrong, but you must understand, why do you love him, whether from his face or from his person?if from the face, obviously you never see it.But personally?You only know a few months, it's not called love!"Al looked back at Alex,
"The first time Papa saw you, Papa was sure you were a hard and firm figure, but Papa did not know, you are weak in love, love,Papa does not think you look so weak when faced with love.Papa is also not sure, what a hard and firm figure Al is still in this heart!"Alex said, pressing Al's chest with his index finger.
"Pa, forgive me.Al did not mean to disappoint Papa, Al did not know, why Al could fall in love with the woman,Al did not know, since when the taste began to appear.But, Al could not,Pa, of course Papa knows what life in NY is like, there's not a single woman there who makes me interested, I don't intend to seize it, just that I'm guilty of putting my heart on him!"Al rubs his head on Alex's knee.Softly Alex rubs his Son's head, Alex realizes he is no longer young, with his children now grown up, and his children are,but Alex doesn't expect there to be a showdown between these two brothers, let alone love, Alex won't be able to accept that.
"Let's go out and have breakfast !"Alex glanced at the clock at 07:00.Al nodded, then immediately stood up and walked towards the exit.
"El's home?"Maryam cried, when she saw El who was walking towards the kitchen.
"Umi's Asalamualaikum!"
"You looking for Albert?"Exclaimed Alex, who saw his Son's behavior, Ge immediately nodded.
"Albert will stay in Al-book, during li-ma days to deepen his insight.
Ge did not answer, but he immediately took the village fried rice that was ready to be served by Maryam on the dining table.
Thirty minutes passed, all of them finished breakfast, Al helped Maryam to clean up the dirty dishes, while Ge was going to wash his dishes.
"Honey, hurry to change clothes, he said he wanted to go to the boarding school to take the decorator ?"Alex, who is still sitting at the dinner table.
"Where is Umi?"Ask Ge,
"Ning Aisyah asked her in the pesantren so that she could grant Abah Karim's last mandate, because she had advised, if Aisyah would marry there!"Maryam.
"Ge can come with Umi?"
"You take care of the taekwondo building first, this matter so that papa and Umi are there, later Kak Al also help !"Maryam.
"What help?"Repeat Al,
"Help Umi make note of the needs on the day H.Umi already order catering, as well as some other snacks, for dessert, Umi will make at home at night H, H,Umi make a frozen one to hold lam!"
"Are you not too tired, dear?"Alex asked, Maryam just shook her head slowly.
"Come, leave.Ge if you want to go, don't forget the door is all closed, baby!"
"Ready Umi!"

"Are you staying tomorrow, brother?"Ge asked in shock.
"Yes, stay one more day, make me tick !"The smiling timpal El.
"Go with Ge alone El, let's take him first, then come home from the market, pick him up again!"Alex's advice, El agreed.
Al immediately takes the car keys in Alex's hands, while Alex and Maryam sit in the back.
"What gift did you prepare Al?"Mary asked on the sidelines of their journey.
"Gift Umi's car, let them have a vehicle, if El wants to accept Al's house will give it too!"Al said with a smile.
"Eemm, don't be too fancy, later Ning won't be happy!"
"Okay Umi, Al understood !"
Alex only saw Al through the front rearview mirror, a few times Al wiped his tears, while driving, and it made Alex sick, on one side El was also his son, on the other, on the other hand, he said,Alex always felt he could not be a good father to Al.
Arriving in front of the Al-Kitab boarding gate, Alex immediately went down and opened the gate.While, Maryam was still in the car
