A week in the hospital, I finally went home. Throughout the journey of the earth so that I reduce all the schedules of activities that are too crowded. Even Umi threatened to ask for a semester off if I remained tight with activities like before.
"Just calm down, mi. When it's big, he knows what's best for him. Once a pain is understood. Don't get too constrained. Let him enjoy his youth with positive activities. We should be proud, mi. When a child of his age with the status of an only child like Dihya who wants to take it is fine but our child is not. Yes, it must be supported. Oh, my boy!" Abah glanced at me who was sitting behind from the glass. I just smiled thinly.
"I can't do that. Still Dihya can not be too porsir. Although Dihya is now big but for Umi he is still a child Umi!" Umi Resolute.
"Name ... Umi. Dihya it's not a baby anymore and he's a boy. So let it be tho!" Reveal Abah while shaking his head. But that's the name of parents, especially mothers, even though their children are big still for him the child is a small child. Finally, along the way there Abah and Umi continue to argue while occasionally Abah ticking umi who seems not ready to see me grow up to be a young man.
Arriving home, we were shocked by the presence of someone who was no longer a stranger. Om Hasan, Dinda's brother. He wanted to go home because our house was empty. His brother Dinda had told Abah's number but there was no reply because Abah was busy taking care of my return.
"Sorry yes San, it was busy managing the administration of Dihya's homecoming, also driving home. Fortunately we could meet. That soul mate is going nowhere. Come inside. Any word on what brought him here?" Abah asked while leading Hasan in. Umi and I followed from behind.
"Don't say hello to Vid, I should have waited a while longer, until Dihya was completely fine. But it's because it's urgent that I dare to come." Answer about Hasan. "It's about Dinda" he added. I who originally wanted to go inside in the end did not so, chose to sit in the living room to listen to what really happened. Plus Abah and Umi didn't forbid me from joining the fray.
"Dinda why?" Ask Umi who is immediately worried.
"This ... he should get married soon." Said o'm Hasan.
"Married? Wh why? We're going to college in the second year." Umi.
"Actually, ever since I got married again, we've both been in a lot of strife. Not just an ordinary debate, but to a great fight. He loved to investigate the cottage, especially the one taken care of by his stepmother. All ustads and diplomas are introgated to discomfort. I'm totally out of sense to deal with it. I was unable to educate Dinda. So after having a long discussion with his stepmother plus asking for input from our teachers, it was decided to marry Dinda alone so that someone would really educate her more intensely. I remember the promise of the four of us to marry off our daughters' sons, Dihya and Dinda, hence, I came here to offer Dinda and Dihya's marriage speed up. but if the son does not accept it is not a problem, we will not force especially to get angry. We will try to accept with a chest. We'll offer our daughter to the other boys." Said his brother Dinda.
What Dinda said certainly made me uncomfortable. One side, why easily give up caring for the princess only wayangnya. How troublesome is a Dinda? Even if there is a dispute, whether it gets that bad to make a father force his son to get married.
"Just like I said at the beginning. I'm not gonna force Dihya. If he is ready, I am very happy because I can carry out the mandate of his late mother Dinda as well. Otherwise, we will accept freely and God's insha will not damage our brotherly relationship." Answer Abah Dinda.
"So how's Dihya?" This time Abah who opened his voice after silently observing since earlier.
I don't know what to answer. As Umi said, deciding to get married must have careful preparation, his heart must be steady, can not be directly held like this. But taking off Dinda for another man I was not willing because I had already fallen in love with her.
"So how?" ask Abah again.
"Bismillah, if om Hasan pleases, I ask for time for istikharah first "my door.
"Alright, so is Dihya. Om very much respect your decision. Whatever it is. You're a good boy, InshaAllah. Um give you a week, hopefully it can be faster than that." said om Hasan, then he said back home.
After her father Dinda came home, Umi immediately talked about this problem. Umi objected to the decision of om Hasan who wanted to escape the responsibility of his daughter. Though Dinda is the only child that he has the relics of the late.
"I suspect something made Dinda find out about the cottage. Don't be right guess friends if ..." not finished umi talk, Abah has told silence.
"Huss, don't talk to anyone else, let alone Hasan it's been very good with us. When our business was almost bankrupt they helped. Remember that. Want to eat your own carcass? Tega umi?" Abah said, making Umi grunt.
"Umi just pity Dinda .. also Fifi." said Umi.
"Pity is compassionate, but it doesn't encourage people either. Remember how Fifi was so respectful and loving to her husband. Do not let because our negative thoughts actually make everything bad. Everyone has different limits on patience. Maybe that's the way it is with Hasan and his new wife. So we respect his decision. Now mending us rest first, a week in the hospital saturated as well. Also give Dihya space to think about all this so that he gets the right decision. InshaAllah." said Abah closing our conversation.
