Asyfal And Ainun
- Chapter 17- Contradiction

I don't know what Ashfal thought. The young man returned home after the Ashar Adhan.

He sat on a large rock on the hill from morning until dusk.

He went into the house without knocking on the door.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Asyfal lirih said.

He kept saying hello there was no one in the house. For him to say hello when entering all places is an 'Obligation' for him.

The new Ashfal will go up the stairs to his room. Umi was barada on the sofa that was under the stairs.

"Where are you from Fal?!" Umi asked suddenly in a voice like someone who was holding a rage.

Umi was on the sofa. He immediately approached her and was about to extend a hand to kiss her mother's hand.

"Assalamu'alaikum Umi" Asyfal said flatly and softly. Then he kissed his mother's hand.

"Asyfal here sits next to Umi!" Umi orders flat while patting the sofa he showed Ashfal to sit there.

Ashfal was a submissive young man. He obeyed the orders of the Mother. Then he sat down next to his mother.

"You haven't answered Umi's question. Where are you from Asyfal! " Task Umi once again with a slightly up tone.

"Assyphalic.... Asiphal......" Say Asyfal while looking down. He was confused as to what the Mother's question was.

He did not expect that Umi would ask about where he had gone from.

Because as usual Asyfal if you go home never asked Umi because Umi knows where Ashfal went. Asyfal always went to his father's boarding house. Or go to his friends' house on a change.

Most often he went to his Friend Andre's house.

But today why did Umi ask Asyfal from where.

This time he met Ainun. The girl He loved so much but never got the blessing of the Umi.

He forgot the advice of His Mother Two years ago before He left for Jakarta. That He must not love Ainun! He must forget Ainun! The Mother did not want Asyfal to continue the relationship that had formed from a minor with Ainun!

Actually Asyfa did not forget but he could not lie to her feelings.

"Quickly tell me where are you from Asyfal?! " Umi Sentak.

Yep! Ashfal must be honest about his feelings. Especially now that he had discovered that Ainun also loved him.

Asyfal gathered his courage to tell the Mother.

"Asyfal had met Ainun" Asyfal said softly but could be heard by the Mother.

It has been confirmed now that the heart of Ashfal is racing unbecoming. He has violated his Mother's prohibition.

Sontak Umi ride apitam.

THE PLAQUE!

Asyfal gets a slap gift from Mother. For his courage to reveal what He should not have told the Mother. And words that Umi never wanted her to hear though.

As a result of the slap he received his face turned to the left. Soon the handsome young man was holding a masculine face that looked scarlet from the Mother.

The atmosphere of the room is silent. Asyfal. Not the usual silence. There was wisdom and authority created on his face.

"Asyfal loves Ainun Mi! " Sayfal again.

Plaque!

That masculine face got a slap for the second time. But now his face did not turn because He knew the consequences after He said that then He would get a slap from the Mother.

"What did you say! Already Umi said Forget Ainun! Umi doesn't like you with Ainun! You forgot what Umi Asyfal said! Ha! " Snapped Umi while showing a spooky eye plot to Ashfal.

"But what reason did Umi forbid Asyfal from loving Ainun?!" Asyfal. Now his face looks challenging. Now he dared to look at the face of the Mother.

"You're playing Umi Fal! " Umi said no less against the Boy He gave birth to Twenty-two years ago.

"No Umi is not what Ashfal meant! " Sayfal relented. Although He is very angry now, He is still gentle and wise. Can be seen on the earthy face of an Asyphal.

"Now you must obey Umi. Forget Ainun!" Umi's speech is rude. Her index finger pointed in a direction.

"I love Ainun Mi! " Asyfal's speech remains smooth.

"So because of the pious woman now you are against Umi?! And Ainun has already proffered you to defy Umi! Ha!? " Say Umi with a high tone while glaring both eyes and look her face red.

"No Umi! Ainun did not say anything to Ashfal. Ainun the Good Girl Mi" Asyfal said.

"What?! You are now defending that woman! And now you dare to oppose Umi! " Say Umi with a higher tone.

"You don't want you to have to forget about Ainun! " Umi Sentak.

"Please explain to Ashfal why Umi should forbid Asyfal from loving Ainun. Please Mi explain to Asyfal!!" Say Asyfal in a slightly up tone.

"It doesn't matter!!" Umi Sentak.

"From a long time ago until now Umi never told Asyfal the real reason for Umi" said Asyfal flat.

"Asyfal loved Ainun Umi very much" he continued.

"I'm sorry Asyfal Umi. Asyfal still wants to love Ainun to death" Asyfal said with full courage.

Plaque!

Uh! The slap landed a third time as well.

"You choose that woman or Umi?! "Ask Umi with growing anger.

"Asyfal chose Umi but Asyfal would still love Ainun"

Asyfal.

Umi's right hand is ready to reward the answer that she really does not want to hear, namely a slap to Ashfal.

Before the swing of that hand until it hurt Ashfal's cheek. The hand was choked by someone.

Heroes come!

"Enough Umi! Umi has gone too far! Is Umi not the same as Ashfal? How many times has Umi slapped Ashfal? Abi disappointed with Umi! " Said Abi who suddenly came and blocked the hand of Umi who would slap Ashfal.

"Abi?! " Say Umi with furrowed eyebrows. Angry faces are becoming more visible.

"Come don't interfere .Let Umi tell Asyfal" Umi said while shaking Abi's hand which still blocked his hand.

"Asyphal You go to the room first Son" Abi's wise command is directly followed by his handsome Son.

"Asyfal wait! " Umi shouted with her shrill voice.

Ashfal looked over and said

"I'm sorry Asyfal Mi! Asyfal will still love Ainun" said Asyfal who then returned up the stairs to his room.

"Asyfal! " Shouted Umi again.

"Umi has already. Let Ashfal choose his own life partner" Abi said wisely.

"What did Abi say?! Can't! Umi does not agree that Asyfal loves Ainun" Umi said in a high tone.

"But what is Umi's excuse? Explain to Abi. Umi has never told Umi the real reason why she did not approve of Ashfal with Ainun" Abi said in a serious tone.

"But Umi. Umi doesn't pity Asyfal? Did Ainun have any fault with Umi?" Abi asked in a slightly up tone.

"What's? Abi also defended the girl?!" Umi said with a higher tone.

"That's not what Abi meant. Try to explain to Abi why Umi did not forbid Asyfal chose Ainun. The soul mate is in the hands of Allah Umi" said Abi to appease his wife.

Abi is the figure of the ideal husband. He was not angry when his wife was angry. Because he is a Kyai.

It is no wonder then that Abi's wise and meek nature declined to Asyphal.

"Abi Pokonya Umi did not like that Asyfal loved Ainun" said Umi then sauntered away from the front of the Husband.

"Umi wait! Abi has not finished speaking" Abi said. Hoping to find an explanation for why his wife forbade Asyfal to love Ainun.

After seeing the Wife's departure. Then Abi sat on the sofa.

Abi was very confused by the circumstances of his Wife and Son.

He loved his wife very much. But he also did not have the heart of his Son.

If He obeys the Will of the Wife. So Ashfal will suffer

On the other hand, if he approves of Asyfal. Then he will hurt his wife's will .And not respecting his wife.

Abi is in a dilemma. He is in a difficult choice.

Abi was seen massaging his forehead which felt very dizzy from thinking about this matter.

*****

Day changed night.

Tok tok tok tok

The door of Asyphal's room was knocked by someone.

Ashfal rushed to open the door. And he saw a wise and meek figure

standing behind the door he opened.

"You got time, son? Is Abi bothering you?" Ask Abi in her subtle tone. The sense of politeness that is possessed is very high.

"No Bi, Asyfal is not busy. Let's go in. Abi want to talk to Ashfal?" Asyphal answered, giving Abi permission to enter his room.

"Son, where have you been?" Ask Abi gently.

"Let's know you were meeting Ainun, right?" Investigate Abi while looking closely at the handsome face of his son.

"Let's know you're Abi's honest son" He continued .

"Yes Abi was indeed Ashfal met Ainun on the hill" Asyfal said.

"Ainun took you to the hill?" Ask Abi carefully.

"No Bi. Not Ainun. But it was Asyfal who invited Ainun to meet on that hill" Asyfal said again.

"Try to explain more details about this to Abi" Abi said seriously.

"Yes gini Abi. Yesterday Asyphal gave Ainun a letter to meet Ashfal on the hill" said Ashfal.

"Oh keep going" asked Abi.

"So the morning Ashfal came first. Asyfal had been waiting for Ainun who had not come. It turned out that Ainun had been there for a long time but he was reluctant to meet Asyfal" Asyfal said clearly.

"Continue?" Tanya Abi interrogates.

"Entah Bi, Ashfal also did not know that Ainun was already on that hill, And Ashfal did not know why Ashfal suddenly felt like Ainun was near Asyfal .Then somehow Asyfal found Ainun crying" Asyfal said.

"Can't Fal? You're not lying to Abi, are you, son? " Say Abi as she stared fixedly at her son's face.

"No Bi, Asyfal did not lie to Abi. Asyfak speaks as is. Asyfal also did not make it up" Asyfal assured his father.

Abi felt that Asyfal was indeed honest. His eyes showed that Asyfal was really not lying. Abi knew Asyfal from childhood.

"How do you want to go, son?" Ask Abi again.

"Continue Ashfal said that Asyfal loved Ainun very much" replied Asyfal confidently.

"Then Ainun? " Task Abi.

"Then Ainun also said that he also loved Asyfal Bi very much!

He said that every day he prayed for Ashfal" Asyfal told his father.

The father who listened to the explanation of his son. is now silent thinking about the meeting earlier.

"God is so great in their love. So sincere is their love.

How could I refuse their blessing? I can't bear, God. Please give your best to Ashfal and Ainun" Inner Abi prayed for Asyphal as well as Ainun.

"Can you believe the same as Ashfal?" Ask Asyfal.

"Yes Abi believes Nak" Abi said.

"Thank you Abi" Asyfal said in a nod by Asyfal.

"Abi also knows how Ainun is" Abi said.

"Ainuna? Mean Abi? " Tanya Asyfal who was accompanied by a sparkling smile that was clearly drawn on her face.

"Abi tau Ainun is a good Gadia. Abi knows that! But somehow your mother refused for you to get in touch with Ainun? " Say Abi.

"But why doesn't Umi like that Asyfal loves Ainun Bi?" Ask Asyfal.

"Yes Nak. Abi doesn't know why he's so stubborn. Though Abi also does not know the real reason why Umi does not approve of your relationship with Ainun" explained Abi with his weak voice.

"But if Abi?!" Ask Asyfal

"Abi slalu wishes you and Ainun all the best. Remember Nak! the soul is in God's hands. Don't get your hopes up. You pray enough and try for the best in your life" Abi said.

"Good Abi trimaanku. But Abi wants to help Asyfal Bi?" Ask Asyfal.

"Now do not worry about this, Abi always pray for you" Abi said.

Asyfal just nodded his head. Ashfal was dissatisfied with his father's reply.

"Then Abi came out first, son" Abi said as he pulled over the child's shoulder.

Then he got up from his seat and was about to leave the room of Ashfal.

Just getting a few steps, Asyfal called out to him.

"Abi?" Call Asyfal.

"Yes Nak" Abi replied as he turned his head.

"Eh no Papa Bi" said. Asyphal. He actually wanted to say something but He hesitated.

"Judah if you want to talk

same with Abi. You said aja. Abi left first" Abi said, then went out of Ashfal's room.
