Aluna, a 28-year-old woman, cannot resist or rebel against her parents' decision to marry Sabian, a high school boy. Though the distance of their age was almost 10 years, but did not make both parents think about it. They were both unable to understand Aluna's true feelings.
During this time it was unheard of if Aluna was close to any man, it does not mean Aluna does not have a figure she loves. In silence Aluna tries to cover up her feelings because of her Abah status. He did not want to upset his brother, because the Abah had strictly forbidden his two daughters not to date. If you already love each other, it is better to marry than dating is unclear. But the man Aluna loved was not ready, considering that Aluna's family was a distinguished family, while the man was just an ordinary man.
No one knows the story that Aluna is hiding, because Aluna keeps it too deep.
“Assalamualaikum.” The sound of greeting surprised Aluna who was daydreaming in the pendopo.
“Waalaikumsalam.” Aluna replied while breathing in asking.
“What's up? Does Abah want to hasten your marriage to that child?” joseph asked one of the ustadz who taught at the boarding school.
“No, Mas. Although the boy has been in this boarding school but Abah has not discussed further about Luna's marriage with him. Mas ... does Mas Yusuf not want to fight for Luna?” Aluna's eyes began to glaze over. He could not hide his true feelings for the man.
Which man does not want to fight for the woman he loves so much. However, because of the caste differences between the two, making Joseph afraid to step up and disappoint Abah Abdullah who had been considered as a substitute for his parents. Moreover, the matchmaking of Aluna and Sabian is a form of return to the Sabian family that has helped many pesantren to stay standing. Even the Sabians were regular donors to the pesantren.
“I would love to fight for you, but I don't know how. If I go forward, will Abah agree? Really I don't want to make Abah disappointed.”
“Then Mas Yusuf will resign when later Luna and Bian are really married? Mas Yusuf's love has always been a fake. Joseph did not love Luna! Mas Yusuf just pity Luna, right?”
It feels hard if the heart has fallen in love with the child of someone who has considered himself a family. Even Abah Abdullah had regarded Joseph as his own son, when Joseph had lost both his parents. If Abah finds out that Joseph loves his daughter, will Abah not be disappointed in her being considered a child?
“Ning ... I love you sincerely from the heart, not just that I feel kasian. But until now I did not dare to admit it to Abah. I was too cowardly, because I was really afraid of disappointing Abah. I'm afraid Abah will assume I'm handing it over. Just so you know, I wouldn't be sincere if you married that child. Ning ... Our story is too complicated, because Abah has regarded me as her son. Moreover, I am not worth your family. Can survive until this second alone should I have been grateful.”
It's been seven years since the two fell in love and hid their feelings as deeply as possible so that no one would kiss them. However, in the end they had to lift to the surface because Aluna was about to be betrothed to another man.
Aluna was the same, could not rebel against her Abah, but she was also unwilling to marry Sabian, while her heart was reserved for Joseph.
Aluna tried not to shed her tears. As much as possible he had to stay strong because he knew there should be no feelings between him and Joseph. However, when two hearts have felt a comfort that every day is fostered, it is not wrong if love will come by itself.
“Assalamaicum. This is on what? Quickly Umi tell Zura to nyari kak Luna, oh ... it turns out again the same mojok sir Ustad, yes?” it was Goda Zura who broke the silent atmosphere.
“Waalaikumsalam.” Joseph answered Zura's greeting. “Oh Yes ... Ning .... Zura, I'm first. Assalamualaikum!” Joseph chose to leave Aluna and Zura who had just arrived.
“Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. hastily very, even though Zura just came. Is Zura's arrival disturbing?” Zura directly linked his eyebrows especially when he saw his brother's eyeballs continue to lead to Joseph's step that left them.
“Kak Lun .. is big brother okay?” asked Zura who saw there were traces of tears on Aluna's cheeks.
“What am I why?”
Zura pointed directly at Aluna's cheek. “Tuh abis cry! Did Luna and Yusuf quarrel? What problem?” Zura was really curious about her brother's tears. All this time, Zura had never seen her brother cry.
“You are still a child, do not be curious about other people's problems. Mending you a college that really let you graduate quickly and pursue your ideals, if you can not be like a brother. Ah, first brother! By the way Umi is there where?”
“Umi's in the kitchen, sister. Maybe Umi asked for help Kak Luna to help cook, because later on the night the Sabian extended family will come,” said Zura.
Aluna nodded slowly and left Zura just like that.
Zura who was left behind could only sigh long. Indeed, he did not accept when he was said to be a child, while his age had stepped on the number 23 years and soon he would graduate from the campus. Still called a child?
“Kak Luna what the hell? What other times did I have as a child? Though the candidate is smaller than me.“ Zura laughed in satisfaction when she remembered Sabian, the predetermined soul mate for her brother whose age was still below her.
However, seconds later Zura stopped her laughter because she remembered two people who had previously been silent to each other, but her brother's cheeks were wet with tears.
“Wait .. I think this is the first time I've seen Kak Luna cry. Are Brother Luna and Brother Yusuf not okay? If yes, what's the problem? The feeling all this time they were fine. Is it not possible that Brother Yusuf hurt Sister Luna? Argh ... Never mind, it doesn't matter if I take care of their quarrel. Mending I wait for Bian aja, I think he will be back home again deh.”
