My Story With The Ustad
Hadibrata Family
Lia jumped up and down in excitement on the luxurious sofa of the family room. The high school boy who had just fallen in love with his brother's friend was delighted beyond measure when the phone he made dozens of times these few days finally picked up the man of his dreams.
“Yeeee. Mas Azriel kangen same akuuuuu..yeeeeaaayy” Ayu's voice echoed.
“That sounds what..bi? Lia why are you screaming like that? “ ask Mr. Hadibrata, host.
“Non Lia skipping seneng mister..it looks like calling the name den Azriel” replied bi tunik.
“hehee..The boy, I told you not to chase that. Azrielnya even afraid later” Hadibrata shook his head. Hadibrata buttoned the end of the sleeve of the office shirt and exited the house to the assistant and driver who had been waiting since morning. ~~~~
“Papaaaa..sewhile I want to ask for something papa” Lia jumped from the sofa running towards his papa who was ready to go to the office.
“Surely you have a wish. If you have no where to approach papa” Hadibrata poking the cheek of the youngest child.
“When papa leaves for US. Lia follow pa...plisssss....Lia kangen very same Azriel” pinta Lia.
“Call him mas Azriel. He's older than you, spoiled child. Must polite. After all, don't bother people's girlfriends often. Azriel you already have a woman who is loved. Come on, let go of him dear” replied Hadibrata.
“No. Azriel's mine. It will only be mine. No one can be Azriel's girlfriend except Lia” Lia frowns, almost every day her papa warns her not to tease Azriel.
“Don't manyun like that, papa girl. Smile more beautiful like the sun this morning. Papa promised to buy everything you ordered from the US. You can't come baby, you test” again Hadibrata's advice.
“Lia promises to go home alone pa. There's only 3 days. Lia can study the final exam for 3 days here. Enough to learn.plizzz pa” whines Lia by shaking her papa arm.
“How about your health baby. You have to rest a lot, you have to take medicine every day. And cannot be overloaded. Long flights are a risk to your health. Papa doesn't want you to go into a coma like last year. Papa loves you very much. Please understand papa” explained Hadibrata with eyes that began to look glassy. She loves her two children very much. Leon and Lia. During this time she raised her two children with a very warm abundance of affection. Especially since his wife died 10 years ago. He was determined to raise and keep his son who was still a child alone. Without less of anything.
“I'll be healthy when I meet Azriel pa. I'm very confused with dia” please Lia.
“Look, papa will ask Azriel to come home first to take care of you during the exam. You can learn with him. Papa and your brother are in the business of a cooperation office with the company there. Could be up to a week. Papa try to quickly go home” refer Hadibrata.
“Okey. I don't have to go there when Azriel comes. He'll stay here. I'll see him every day. Waaaahhhh” Lia face sparkling.
Hadibrata arrived in the US this morning. The plane landed at 09:45 US time. He heads to the apartment of his eldest son accompanied by his best friend, Azriel.
“Papa..how are you?” Azriel welcomes Leon with a warm embrace and arms. They were so close, like family.
“Where is your bad friend, must have wandered again he” Hadibrata shook his head.
“Leon vacation to Hawaii pa, same friends. Maybe 2 more days to arrive. It's summertime. He enjoys the beach there. Papa just rest to the room. Let Azriel arrange the goods papa” replied Azriel.
“Thanks zriel, you are more mature than the 2 spoiled children” Hadibrata patted Azriel on the shoulder and entered the room to clean up. Azriel assisted the Assistant to tidy up all the items in the suitcase.
Azriel ate with a middle-aged man whom she had considered her parents in the past few years. Azriel meets Leon and begins attending S3 college. And because of one dorm in the early years, they were always together and filled each other up. Leon, a cheerful young man who always cares for his fellow man despite being raised in
a family of infinite wealth, admiring the figure of Azriel who is a man is near perfect. Azriel's maturity in dealing with problems both in college, and helping Leon overcome his father's family and company problems when changing some time is of more value to Azriel.
“Zriel..when did you graduate? now where is your dissertation process?” ask Hadibrata.
“Before more pa. Our trial is over. Just confirmed 2 months later the schedule. Because there are some confirmation schedules from our professors. Leon and I are only one week adrift of his schedule” replied Azriel.
“ Azriel actually does not want to trouble papa, has a lot of help papa to Azriel. Azriel is unable to bear it, let alone repay pa” Azriel said.
“Do not do that. Forget your feelings, papa already considers you like a son papa. Moreover, Leon and Lia they love you very much. Papa also felt unable to anymore. Age papa soon” reply Hadibrata.
“Do not talk like that pa. Age no one knows. It could be us who are young called”, Azriel.
“Do not know, lately papa often dreamed of meeting with mama Leon. And miss him so much. Papa is no longer strong himself” Hardibrata replied wistfully. Azriel held Hadibrata's hand gently, channeling the power. He looked at the man affectionately.
“Listen Zriel...promise when anything happens with papa. You'll take care of Leon and Lia. Accompany them please take care of them with affection for papa” pinta Hadibrata in earnest. He looked at Azriel blankly. There was something hollow that he felt these few days. Always worried about his two children and his heart was not calm. I don't know what's gonna happen. But she believes Azriel is a man who can be a crutch for her children.
“Zriel..papa want to talk seriously with you. A moment..” Hadibrata standing up taking something in the room. And he had a map in his hand.
“This is a letter of agreement from a notary. Papa has been talking carefully with Leon and Lia. And all with the directors about the leadership of PT ADI WARDHANA going forward. Papa hope you accept papa's request. It's papa's final decision. Can't be changed. And this is also the last will of papa later” explained Hadibrata. Azriel received the map and perused it.
“Pa..exe? that is.. pa... I cannot.” asked Azriel gasped at the contents of the agreement. At the end of the agreement was the signature of the entire Hadibrata family.
“Papa please..” Hadibrata cupped his hands together pleading to the young man in front of him wistfully.
“ Pa...do not like this. Papa didn't deserve it. Azriel could not bear this burden pa. and should have been Leon and Lia. Azriel only..” Serge Azriel. Hadibrata shook her head in refusal. This afternoon the two men spoke to each other seriously. Azriel, in an attempt to deny Hadibrata's great trust, while Hadibrata, in an attempt to convince Azriel, accepted the gift. As if for him, there was no tomorrow. Leon knocked on Azriel's door in haste. It gets louder, while Azriel just read the Koran finished praying this afternoon.
“Zriel..Lia sick. He was taken to the Hospital by Bik Nunik. He suddenly fainted” Leon met up in panic when Azriel opened the door to his room.
“Set how it is..Does the doctor check?” azriel replied no less panicked.
“Doctor said Lia's condition is bad, the cancer cells in her body are getting spread. 4 more days Lia final exam. Said Bik Nunik Lia not taking the medicine these few days because it continues to learn. Already forced but do not want” explained Leon.
“So I've called papa. He just had a meeting. Papa asked you to go back to Indonesia first. Tomorrow me and papa will catch the morning flight. I bought you a ticket for a mini mala flight. I beg Zriel” Leon to hold Azriel's hand tightly.
“ Me and papa have a meeting later tonight with Papa's client. If I were to go home, Lia would still not listen to my words. He only heard your advice “ added Leon.
“Le, you don't have to beg. I'm going home now. Lia is like my own sister. I prepared my needs for a moment.You don't worry” replied Azriel.
“Thanks Zriel. Promise me you'll take care of Lia. Promise me that as long as we are not by her side, you will always be by her side. She doesn't feel your mama's affection follow your heart. If you love him as a brother, do it. I know love cannot be forced. Enough to give kaish dear to him as a sister. Please take care of him for me Zriel” Leon pleaded with a blank look. He held Azriel's hand tightly.
Tonight Azriel has arrived at the Fatherland. He quickly headed to the hospital after the company driver picked him up at the airport. He's headed for the ICU. Again this space. Lia was often staying in this room. The child often had a drop and was rushed to the hospital in an unconscious state. Azriel accompanied Lia by whispering words for Lia to hear. He also recited verses from the Qur'an.
Assalamualaikum Zriel.me and papa are already in the plane. The plane will soon take off. It is likely to be 9 hours away to Jakarta airport. I'm turning off my phone. Please take care of Lia for us. (contents Leon's message to Azriel).
Azriel reading the message. From yesterday he was familiar with the words Hadibrata and Leon. Why do they say the same words. Leave and ask to look after Lia. Azriel cleansed herself and prepared for the Dhuha prayer this morning.he kept remembering the words of this father and son.
There has been a lost contact aircraft Gxxxxx xxxxxxx routes Massachussets-Jakarta with call sign Gaxxxxx. The last contact occurred at 10:00 WIB
The total passengers were 70 people, along with a crew of 12 consisting of 62 adults, 6 children and 4 infants
Azriel widened her eyes to see the news of the plane that crashed this morning on the ICU waiting room TV screen. His chest rumbled, his breathing choked, his blood as if it had stopped rustling. Azriel opens Leon's message. He opened the ticket photo that Leon sent with trembling hands and prayed that this might be wrong. And what Azriel hopes doesn't happen, the ticket Leon sends is a ticket on the same plane rumored to be lost contact….
“Innalillahi wainnalillahi….Astaghfirulloh” Azriel holding her chest. His body was limp, only Istighfar could he chant as much.
