Pov arfan

"Drink first!" Force Saipul while rising to give up the water he holds.

"What the hell are you not so clear!" I answered and then left Saiful's house for Karla's. Arriving at Umar's house, I quickly said my greetings.

"Glamma!" the sound of Mr. Umar answering my greetings, then the door of his house was opened. Karla was tidying up their dinner marks.I reached out and kissed the back of Mr. Umar's hand.

"Sorry to disturb you sir!"

"It's okay, you've eaten Fan?" ask Mr. Umar.

"Alhamdulillah is sir! just before leaving here I had eaten first at home."

"If not, you eat first!" haggar Pak Umar who always like that.

"No sir, thank you."

"Yes, please sit down!" said Mr. Umar while sitting down.

Karla who pacing back and forth took the dirty dishes, Not the slightest bit greeted me. indeed that was how she was, never invited me to chat when in front of her parents, Maybe she felt ashamed of her father.

As usual, Mr. Umar began to open a religious book to study together.then he began to explain what was contained in the book.in the midst of the study, he explained, it looks like Karla brought two cups of coffee as a friend to learn njai. I from beginning to end, continue to pay attention to what was conveyed by Mr. Umar.

"Sorry Sir!" I said after I finished studying religion.

"Why Nak Arfan, does anyone not understand what you say?" asked Mr. Umar who opened the skirt0k gift from me, then he took one stick, then lit a match to burn it.

"Not Sir! but I'm sorry if my question is a little presumptuous."

"Why?" ask Mr. Umar who is focusing his eyes on me.

"So this is it, sir! as you know I've been almost a year divorced from my wife."

"Continue?"

"So!" I stopped my words too, not holding back the shame to continue the conversation.My heart felt racing, like it was about to accept a decision from the court.

"So what?" Ask Mr. Umar who looked in wonder at me.

"I apologize in advance sir!"

"Why did you repeat it again? you did nothing wrong." replied Mr. Umar as he smacked his skirt0k into the ashtray, he was still relaxed Not the slightest look of tension.

"So this is it, sir! I want to ask, does Karla, Putri Bapak already have a prospective companion?" I asked after gathering courage, while exhaling. because I felt relieved after conveying such a heavy feeling, even though it was only just saying there was no decision.

"Oh that! kirain asked what? nak Arfan also already knows that Karla Putri is only my puppet until now has not had a prospective companion. Somehow he still chose himself, every Father asked him he never gave an answer." explained Mr. Umar who still looks relaxed Not a hint of anger on his face.

"I suppose if someone asked for the daughter of the Father.but the man was a man who had failed in marriage, Would you accept the man as his ex?" I asked who started a little brave but still diplomatic.

"Whoever Karla is married. You will never forbid, the most important thing is that the man is a good man, who understands the responsibility, who can be the protector of the Father's daughter. And most importantly, her son wants to!"

"So you agree that I asked your daughter?"

"Well, if that you can not answer, because the question that was not like that" replied Mr. Umar who boasted a smile, inversely proportional to my feelings that were immediately at the lowest point.

"Cirain agrees!" I muttered slowly.

"Hehehe. Just who would you agree, the most important thing his father wanted.You have spoken to Karla?" said Mr. Umar who turned the question.

I shook my head as the answer to Mr. Umar's question. Let alone to express feelings, to just chat it feels very difficult with a person who has never been serious like Karla.

"Why shake your head?"

"Well, it is household PR. You must be able to understand the character of the wife, because it will not succeed someone to be a leader, if the person does not know the character of the person he will lead. the household will not be easy, as you have experienced so many trials, obstacles that interfere with the integrity of the household.like a ship that wants to sail the ark."

"Why do households like to have their ark?" I often hear, but never know what it means.

"Why household relations, some say also household ark. because if likened to a household it is like a ship, while life is like an ocean or an ark. the name of the ship when sailing the ocean there will certainly be obstacles, both from inside and from outside."

"Which from the inside What's it like, sir?"

"That from the inside, like the ship there is a hole so that water can go inside, or tear the sail of the ship, or it can also lose direction. so just like the household there will be a time of interference from within, such as letting others into the household, or the heartbreak of a partner, or it could be out of step, or it could be out of step, no purpose." Obviously Mr. Umar while sucking back the skirt0k in his hand.

"That's from the inside, keeps that from the outside like what?"

"Ships when sailing there are also tests from the outside, such as storms, wind, waves and others.if in domestic life, the presence of a third person, the entry of understanding from the outside, if in domestic life, the presence of a third person, or the common problems that plague the integrity of the household."

"It's also hard to imagine it that way." I said with a slow sigh, unable to imagine the trials that will be faced.

"But! even so we as living beings do not worry, because every disease must have a cure.just like a household when there is interference from inside or from outside then Quickly find a cure. do not let it drag on, because if it is not quickly responded to the household ship, it will sink. Mending if drowning does not take a victim, how about sinking takes a victim."

"What is the Sacrifice, sir?"

"Children who have been born, then it will be the first victim of the sinking of the household ship."

"That means that if you get divorced, you can't?"

"Can! but the thing that is not prohibited but most hated is the talak. then I reiterate the same nak Arfan if really want the same Karla, Is ready to undergo all the trials that will befall."

Asked like that, I was immediately pensive to digest the words of Mr. Umar. because it is true that I have experienced, when my household has a disturbance, I can not cope with it.

"Why silence?"

"If that's how I'm afraid to go home."

"Hehehe, rules are made not to be scary but to make people more careful when they are about to step. do good, God willing, whatever we do will be good."

"Means you accepted me, to ask for my Father's daughter"

"Not yet."

"Why sir, am I not worthy of my Father's Daughter!"

"It's not like that, but I want to have that relationship, my son, so I can't decide what my son will choose."

"What should I do, sir?" I began to feel less.

"Don't be confused, we ask Karla directly, but Nak Arfan must be able to accept what is my son's decision. I hope when my son refuses, Arfan doesn't stay away. I hope you can always be a good brother to him, because I don't know until when. I'm not afraid to leave this world, but the only thing that's hard is my son, I'm afraid when I'm gone, he's lost his love."

"Good Sir! whatever Karla's decision is I'm willing to accept."

But when we chat like that, there was a sound of sobbing from the top floor.because the barrier between the 1st floor and the 2nd floor was just a plank, just a plank, so it does not rule out the possibility that my conversation with Mr. Umar was heard by Karla.

Hearing someone crying, Mr. Umar also looked shocked.by he hurried up to the 2nd floor, I Who was curious also went up.

The truck! the truck! the truck!

Mr. Umar knocked on one of the doors of the room upstairs, I don't know whose room it was. Because ever since I knew them, Just this time I went up to the second floor of Mr. Umar's house.

"Assalamualaikum Karla!" Call Mr. Umar repeatedly, but there is no answer from within. only heard Isakkan crying it gets louder, making me with Mr. Umar look at each other in wonder.

"Karla can you come in?" ask Mr. Umar while continuing to knock on the door.

"Why is he sir?" tanyaku while staring at Mr. Umar who looks confused.
