THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
L Parts

A metallic black sedan car entered the cafe area. The driver got out and locked the car door. For a moment he glanced around the area.

With his long steps, for a while the guy was already inside the cafe. His eyes are directed to his left side.

"Good afternoon. Welcome to SS Cafe" said a girl dressed in a cafe uniform.

"I have an appointment at table 17, Ma'am," said the man.

"Oh, let me drop off."

The man followed the girl's steps. Just a few steps away, he saw a very familiar figure waving his hand.

"Sit, Han. What do you want to order?"

"Dad has a message?"

"It has. All for your bunda. You are the one who has not."

Farhan immediately looked at the menu list and made an order.

"We're just the two of you, Dad?"

"Bertiga. Mother is otewe. Just a minute."

"Three only? How come Dek Via and Azka weren't invited?"

"There's something we want to talk to you about. Well, that's your bundle coming."

A middle-aged woman walked up to table 17. Hijab worn can not cover the lines of beauty even though the age is no longer young. Blouse batik worn makes its appearance elegant.

"Assynolajet. Sorry, too late" said the woman.

"Vaalaikumsalam. No, kok. Farhan has just arrived. Food not yet served. Sit here." Mr. Haris pulled the chair beside him.

Just as Bu Aisyah was sitting down, two waiters served the dishes they ordered.

"You're eaten first!" bring Mr. Haris.

They prayed and enjoyed the menu. Hungry, they ate very well.

"What's really going on, anyway? What would Mother's father talk to Farhan about?"

Mr. Haris sipped water nearby.

"Han, do you remember what Om Andi meant when he came to our house?"

"Together Surya?" tanya Farhan made sure.

"No, the one before. You and Azka just returned from the house of Eyang Probo, meet Om Andi for a moment."

"Oh, who was talking about the company of the late Mr Wirawan? Deck Via must be married in order to become a majority shareholder?"

Mr. Haris smiled and nodded.

"Aren't Dad and Om Andi planning to marry Surya?"

Mr. Haris and Ms. Aisyah shook their heads.

"Neither Via nor Surya are interested."

"O yeah? Ba.." Farhan's speech stopped.

"Ups, I almost slipped into expressing my relief. Huff.... It could be bad if mom and dad knew. I'll be interrogated."

"What's wrong with you, Han?" asked Bu Aisyah in wonder.

"There's nothing, really. Then, Dek Via will remain married in the near future or canceled?"

"Via has agreed to get married" replied Mr. Haris.

"Who?" asked Farhan impatiently.

"That's her. Via itself has no candidates. Thank God, he doesn't want to date. So, he handed it to Mother."

" Mother has determined a prospective husband for Dek Via?" ask Farhan not spirit.

"No, yet" Ms. Aisyah replied as she shook her head, "Maybe you have a suggestion, Han? You have a lot of friends in the business world. Is there anything suitable for Via?"

"Dek Via has certain criteria, Bun?"

Ms. Aisyah smiled and explained, "The standard Via criteria is a Muslimah. The point is that it can be a priest for the family, who is loving, responsible, so."

"Why don't you just offer me? God willingly meets that criteria. But, I can't possibly offer myself, "inner Farhan.

"How, Han? How do you dream?" ask Mr. Haris.

"Aaa--- Farhan was thinking, Well, remember Farhan's friends" Farhan replied a little nervously.

"Well, how's it going, Bun? Does Mommy have a proposal? Mommy has a candidate?" ask Farhan lethargic.

"Yes, there's."

"Si--who, Bun?"

"If only Mother's child, how?" asked Ms. Aisyah gently.

"Huh? Si--who mean ... Mother? Azka or ...."

"Yes you, Han. Who else? PT Wijaya Kusuma not only needs investors, but also needs reliable people. Hows it? You willing?" sahut Pak Haris fast.

"Tttten-t..." Farhan held back his words.

"Aduuuh..kok be gini? I could barely contain the excitement. I want to scream. Oh, my God, I'm so happy."

"Farhan, what's wrong with you? If you object, we do not force, really," said Ms. Aisyah.

"No, nothing, really. Mm mm... Farhan .. will," Farhan replied with a low look, hiding his reddened face.

Mr. Haris and Ms. Aisyah looked at each other. They smiled amusedly at the behavior of their eldest son. Mr. Haris blinked his eyes followed by a nod of Ms. Aisyah's head.

"Do you really agree? You didn't have to?" ask Ms. Aisyah.

"Yes, Bun. Farhan sincerely," replied Farhan cirih. His head is still down.

"But you're looking down?" Replace Mr. Haris who asked.

Farhan raised his head. However, he did not dare to look into the eyes of his parents.

"Do you like Via, Han?"

"C-yes, Bun."

Pak Haris and Bu Aisyah laughed at Farhan's confession.

"But, there are things that Mother needs to say that you may need to consider before you talk to Via."

"I mean Mother?" farhan asked confusedly.

"Via doesn't really want to get married. However, he also did not want the company of the deceased to fall. He wanted the company to rise again. In addition to remembering the struggle of his father, Via also wants the employees there to be prosperous. He had no other choice, had to get married in order to lobby that potential investor."

Ms. Aisyah was silent for a moment. He looked at his eldest son who was still listening to the conversation attentively.

"Via doesn't want to quit college. He's only in semester 3. He wants to continue his studies, at least pass S-1. If you were to marry Via, would you allow it?"

"Why did Mother ask that? Isn't the matter of the Dek Via lecture the responsibility of Mother and Father?"

"If Via marries you, you are more entitled to Via. We don't mind financing college Via where you allow. Remember, a wife becomes the dependant of the husband," said Mr. Haris.

"God willing, Farhan does not mind that Dek Via will continue his studies" said Farhan steady.

"There is more you need to consider" continued Ms. Aisyah.

Farhan. His heart was racing again.

"What else, Bun?"

"The matter of husband and wife."

Farhan looked at his confused mother.

"A wife is obliged to obey all the commands of the husband as long as it does not contradict the Shari'a. There was something still lingering in Via's heart at the moment, which made him somewhat hesitant to get married. Hence, she should know the attitude of her future husband."

"Farhan doesn't understand what you mean."

"Via is very young. He is not yet 20 years old. She was still afraid to live a married life with her husband. He still wants to hang out with his friends. Do you not mind?"

Farhan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That problem? Farhan, of course, did not mind. Farhan knew how to get along Dek Via. She's not a girl who likes a joke. His friends God willing are also good children."

"There's more, Han," continued Ms. Aisyah.

Farhan was silent waiting for an explanation from his mother.
