Football Enthusiast by Arif Bachtiar Dwi Cancerio 090110101049

In a family, live a pair of family, they are Dewi and Anton. Today they both sat in the living room with lighted by a dim lamp table on a small table in the corner. Boy they had slept after Isak pray. The problem unresolved and protracted, everyday, always supporting in the hearts and minds of both of them.

"Mas, we just change our child's name? If Mas busy with work, let the brother who take care of the official residence. How did you mind?" Dewi said as her seduced. Dewi's husband, Anton silent. He was biting his lower lip and thinking.

Seven years ago, Dewi met with Anton while watching a football match between Persib vs Pelita Jaya Siliwangi stadium in Bandung. They both include "bobotoh" Maung Bandung and often watch live matches in the stadium. When Dewi introduced to someone, he is football enthusiast by a friend. And a month later Anton has become a beloved Dewi. They then continued the custom of watching football matches at the stadium together. Until finally they got married and habits that keep them maintained.

One till three months passed, they are more familiar and feel happy in their marriage. Feeling of ideas and hobbies, they assume they are the privileged partner. Their house is decorated with ornaments, football ornaments smell. From the window curtains, bed sheets, and other trinkets, all nuance of football.

"You are a great couple," said one of their friends when they visited the house while he admired the collection of bandanas, hats, and red and white scarves on the wall of our house as a memorial room after watching the PSSI competed in Gelora Bung Karno’s stadium. Dewi and Anton smiled at the compliment them. Anton hugged and kissed her with a sense of pride.

In their small house, there was a 29-inch TV's they always turn on when there is a match the European leagues. They watched both of the night until morning. Nothing is overlooked. From the Premier League, Italian, Spanish, and other champions league, except when the lights PLN is dead.

After 18 months they were married, they are blessed with a boy that cute. Her face was cute like Anton and clean white skin like leather Dewi. Alhamdulillah, Thank God, you gave me a cute boy. Then came a time when they will choose a name for their son. They both had agreed to give them the name of an idol. Famous Brazilian’s football, he plays for AC Milan.

"You're still Ton ... how should undo your intention to name it. Look for a better name. For example Bayu, Taufik, Widodo, or anything else that smells Indonesia. But do not name of the father in law’s Dewi giving advice. "How funny the current generation.  Name his son the name of a football player. ... Try to think again Dewi of the boy's name that has value and got a meaning. Let me see your father, his name Giyarto, meaning that people are generous. So try thinking right. .. "

"Cool ... who knows one day he became a gridiron star," her sister is support them. "It's up to you. He is your children.  I’m only praying he may be a pious and obedient son to his parents. Healthy and prosperous," Father-in-law abstained.

Two weeks yet they give their children names until finally they agreed to name their first child Ronaldo. Yes, the name is Ronaldo. Name two of them football players idol, born in Bento Ribeiro, Brazil. Ever get the FIFA best player award in 1996 and 1997. Ronaldo As a top score in world cup 2002. Yes, that's the best name for our son.

"Ronaldo," Anton kissed his son. He smiled happily.

Ronaldo grow-up and strong likes his father. When he was 4 years old they were adding them to the Islamic kindergarten near our home. While Anton was still preoccupied with his new hobby, he was playing futsal every Tuesday and Thursday. Hobbies watching football to the stadium still he liked. This time he was always with his friends’ office. He also was fond of watching Premier League and Italy as it once was. But he watches alone because Dewi no longer hold back after accompanying Ronaldo sleepiness from morning till evening.

Day after day passed, Dewi is now diligently followed the recitation in the mosque near the house. Dewi feel embarrassed when their mothers go chant while he did not. He also began to recognize the veil. Initially she was only wearing it when the recitation. But after several months of lessons, he began to shy when not to wear it outside the house. "Bobotohku now use veil," Anton teasing. But thankfully he did not forbid Dewi to recognize the veil. Alhamdulillah.

Yet somehow after Dewi of follow recitation in mosques, headscarves, she feels like to explore Islam as a whole. Feel thirsty and want a quick listen ustazah fiqih woman explained to Hatam. When his son entered the second year in kindergarten, he's already awake at night and tahajjud pray. He kept trying istiqomah to implement them.

The atmosphere at home has become inverted. The First Dewi proud to watch football that aired every morning with Anton. But now is different. She felt sad when wake Anton at a night just to watch football. Especially when she saw Anton wakes up late for morning after watching the football. She cried at night praying, weeping for them and concerned with lifestyle Anton with his football. He never missed a special night to wake up a football match.

"Mama, what's wrong with my name Ronaldo?" the boy asked them one day after school. "Because your father wanted you to someday become a famous soccer player," he explains with a smile and stroked her hair. "Mama, I hate my name. My friends are nice-nice name. There are Alif, Raihan, Aziz, Salma, Sofyan ...." Ronaldo's name mentioned one by one his comrades in Nursery who happened almost all his friends called Islamic. "Well your name is good," she replied, still smiled. "Name of a football star." "Bad," said Ronaldo then continue to go play. She smiled. These kids, she thought.

One day coming home from recitation at the mosque, she could hardly sleep. Her mind thought of the words ustazah which discusses early child education. She remembered her word and made me feel mixed abysmally. Then arises is the question, if I'm still proud of my son's name?

"Mother pray to child is very important in children's education," said ustazah. "Therefore, as parents we have been praying for our children for their kindness. You called them with positive and meaningful name. Let the pious son of a call, O clever, intelligent child, and so on. Because it insyallah heard by Allah, and also by our children. The words will seep into their subconscious until they are adults. That they were was a pious child, smart, and so on. For that we need to also give names to our children with good names. As Abdul Aziz for example, a servant of Allah is generous, with the hope that one day our children to be a philanthropist. Do not give a name at random, like Unyil or Usro, no meaning. Sorry if there are children who Unyil name"

Lamp sitting in the corner of the living room remained dim. Anton was still thinking about suggestion for Dewi of the child's name with the name of Islamic Ronaldo better. The suggestion was discussion two months ago. Dewi and Anton remained strong in their stance.

"It was fate. And it has become the desire both of them. And Anton did not feel ashamed," Anton was still in his stance. "He was actually proud". "But Dewi of shame as a mother, the children are taking the name of a football player?" he identifies his desire. "Come on mama, let it go. Let him who chooses himself later when he grew up." Said Anton.

Dewi scowled and turned away to go to the room left Anton himself in the living room. His heart was upset and his eyes wet with tears. He sat on the edge of the bed and thought about those words ustazah that the name could be a prayer. Her eyes were getting wet and grains of tears down her cheeks. Her heart to pray, "God, forgive me." Anton suddenly comes into a room with a cheerful face like he had the brilliant idea in his head. Dewi looked him.

"What is right?" Dewi asked mingled surprise.

"I agree with your idea Dek. We named our children Islamic names like the other kids. I'll take care of the replacement of his name to the office immediately." Said Anton.

"Oh, yeah? Thank God ... our children are still kindergarten Mas. So it is still easy to take care of it." Dewi was happy. She rub her tears had wet cheeks.

"Yes". "Then what will our children to be given the name of right?" Dewi asked curious. "Ahmad ... good right? Behalf of our children will be Ah-mad Ro-nal-do." Anton said with happy feeling.
