Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 145 - Best Choice of Master (Late)
Zenwa and the rest of her family went to her in-laws' house for dinner, but Zenwa and Micheal were planning to stay there tonight because they also wanted to stay with little Tanvir.
Everyone gathered on the floor, enjoying the delicious cuisine of Mom Firda and Umm Aisyah, and there was also Gabriel's favorite Umm Aisyah grilled fish.
"Then, this grilled fish was the first Ummi dish that Daddy ate, and since then Daddy has become fond of grilled fish" said Daddy Gabriel, recalling his youth, as he hides in the village, he meets Firda, goes to the market, and is invited to lunch.
"If you think about it, Destiny is really magical, unpredictable, and really surprising" Micheal said. "Imagine it, Daddy, a city guy, a Don Mafia guy, could marry Mom Firda, a country girl, a granddaughter again. Like heaven and earth, heaven and hell." he continued, which made everyone chuckle, surgery was done with Daddy Gabriel who immediately slapped his son's cheek.
"Heaven and hell you say? Very cruel," he grumbled.
"Yes I mean because the difference is so far away, Dad." Micheal said with a frown, somehow his father never agreed with his statement even though Michael felt what he said was never wrong.
"Our destiny is also a surprise, dear," Zenwa continued. "Everyone thought you were going to marry the late sister Arin, even I support that. But God's scenario turned out to be very different." he continued, and he recalled the moment Arini fainted on the night of Zenwa's wedding, that's when everything came out.
"Yes, my dreams, hopes and ideals are also very different from what I get now. Because it turns out, my life's destiny is far more beautiful than I planned," Micheal said, clasping Zenwa's hand, looking at her lovingly.
"Have ... already! Don't be kasmaran here!" Exclaimed Daddy Gabriel who made Zenwa immediately blushed in shame.
They all ate dinner while chatting a lot of things, taking all the stories in the past, and ending with laughter.
After eating, they spend time in the living room while enjoying a snack made by Umm Aisyah.
Laughter filled their night, until finally Micheal invited Zenwa to sleep because they wanted to pilgrimage to Arini's tomb tomorrow morning.
.........
"Papa Sama went away for a while, yeah. Don't be naughty" Zenwa said as she put on her son's socks.
"Have you?" Ask Michael who is ready.
"Here you go" replied Zenwa. "We go first, Mom. Titip Tanvir" Zenwa told his mother-in-law.
"Yes, don't worry," Mom Firda replied with a smile.
...... ...
Micheal led the way of the do'a during the pilgrimage, and as he stared at the tombstone bearing the name of the first love, Micheal's heart seemed a little claustrophobic. There is still love and longing in his heart for the late Arini, but of course that love is covered by the love of his mother, his wife, who he hopes will also be his heavenly angel.
After the Arini tomb was finished, Zenwa and Michael rushed home, and they joined hands to leave the cemetery area with a smile.
"Do you think Arini really forgives me? I didn't have time to say goodbye then" said Zenwa, who now leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, and Michael held his wife's shoulder together.
"Of course, he loves you so much and someone who loves someone else will not have a bit of hatred. It's just going to be love and love" Micheal said.
"He loves you very much too, dear."
"Yeah, that's why he gave me my best thanks."
"And give me the best priest."
