Destiny Gintani
Destiny Gintani

Alex was shocked to hear Gintani say. He was just gawking, amazed by what he had just heard.

"Bang, Gintan knows all this is so outrageous. But Gintan could not see the look on the face of the Princess' disappointment. He was so dreaming of the figure of a father that he will always idolize. Gintan knows, maybe Gintan seems arrogant because it is too imposing Gintan's will on Brother. But, Gintan had no other choice. You're ready, aren't you helping Gintan? Is Brother willing to cover up the disgrace of Invisibility today?" ask Alex Gintani.

Alex's head was getting heavy hearing all Gintani's words. If this had happened a few years ago, Alex would probably have said yes soon. But now ... Alex doesn't know if she deserves to be with the woman she secretly loved from the very beginning.

Ah, Tan. If you knew what had happened to Brother this time, would you still be able to ask Brother for that? inner Alex.

"How, Neng?"

Alex replied, Bik Susan has been standing in the doorway asking for the wedding again.

"Please tell her that the marriage will continue" Alex said.

Gintani is shocked to hear Alex's words, while Bik Susan returns to her place of commitment, frowning.

"Please ask Mang Rakib, does he have a copy? Brother wants to wudhu first," said Alex.

Gintani was so moved by Alex's words.

"Wudhulah, Bang! Gintan will get copies of the deceased grandfather's legacy" said Gintani.

Alex nodded. He then went to the bathroom for ablution. While Gintani opens his closet to pick up coffee belonging to the late grandfather.

After ablution, Alex then performs the circumcision prayer hajat to ask for the pleasure of God in the steps he takes. A few minutes later, Alex takes Gintani to the table.

Arriving there, Alex whispered something to Ustadz Hasan.

Ustadz Hasan nodded his head. He then whispered something to his father.

"All right! I understand," said pak penghulu.

Alex then sits down next to Gintani. Mang Rakib himself takes Alex's seat to witness their marriage.

"Brother Alexander Winaya, I marry and I trust you with Ananda Gintania Nur'aini bint the late Arya Wirahadikusuma with a makawin set of prayer tools and 20 grams of gold, paid in cash!"

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Ananda Gintania Nur'aini bint Arya Wirahadikusuma with the mascawin paid in cash!"

"How are the witnesses, legitimate?"

"Well!"

"Baarakallahu laka wa baarakaa alaika wa jamaa bainakumaa fii khoir" said the ruler.

Everyone seemed to raise their hands and honor God the Creator to bless the newlywed couple.

'Please, the bride to kiss the back of her husband's hand, '" said the father of penghulu.

Gintani sideways then kisses the back of Alex's hand which has now become her husband. Likewise with Alex, with full gentleness he kissed the head of the hijab-wearing woman.

The event continued to pengulu father's teachings about the adab-adab husband and wife in accordance with Islamic law.

Alex's head is getting heavy. His eyes began to twitch. Occasionally he shook his head to expel the pain in the back of the head.

Oh my God .. please give me strength, at least until this wedding is over, inner Alex.

But what is power. Sometimes, our desires never go along with what God has planned. When the couple was standing at the wedding to receive a do'a from the guests, Alex suddenly shrieked softly while holding his head.

"Aarghhh!"

Gintani and the guests are shocked to see Alex.

"But! Brother why?" gintani asked, worried.

However, Gintani's question is only answered by Alex's body collapsing to the floor.

Gintani screamed at that. And also with the invited guests. Instantly they swarmed the couple.

"Please give way!" said Mang Rakib approaching towards the pelaminan.

As soon as the invited guests left.

"What's going on, Neng?" ask Mang Rakib again.

"Gintan doesn't know, Mang. Suddenly Bang Alex fell," replied Gintani.

Mang Rakib immediately carried Alex's body that had drooped helplessly. "We're taking Den Alex to the hospital" he said.

Gintani. He then followed Mang Rakib from behind.

"Come, Mang! Just use my car" Jessica said.

Mang Rakib then rests Alex in the back seat of Jessica's car. Gintani follows him, he grabs Alex's head and puts it on Alex's lap. Cold sweat seemed to wash over her husband's forehead.

Gintani grabs Alex's hand. "Hold down Bang, Gintan is sure that Abang will be fine" said Gintani who began to tear up.

Alex smiled in response to his wife's words.

"Leave ... Brother spoke, Tan," said Alex, softly.

"Alright, Bang! Don't talk too much. We will soon be at the hospital. Brother must be fine," pinta Gintani as she wiped her husband's sweat.

"No, Tan ... Brother has to talk. A-Abang happy can neg-kah .. with your ka-kamu. You are the ideal wife of every man. B-but A-Abang is sorry. A-Abang can't keep your ka-you."

Alex's breathing grew stronger. His body grew weaker and his hands grew colder Gintani felt.

"Already Bang! Don't talk anymore, Gintan please," said Gintani powerless to hold back the tears that continue to slide rapidly.

"To-please don't hate Argha. In-he had a reason that I-I left you at your wedding. A-Abang can't take care of you. Go back to Argha."

"Enough Bang! Gintan please, enough. Don't say anything anymore. Brother must be fine Gintan sure of it!" gintani said in his sobs.

Alex held out his hand. He gently rubbed his wife's cheeks which started to turn red. "Abang loves you, Tan" Alex said before closing his eyes.

"Please go faster, Ma'am! Gintan please!" yelled Gintani who saw her husband close his eyes.

Despite the panic, Jessica continued to drive her vehicle at an above-average speed. Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital. Mang Rakib immediately called the nurse to bring Alex.

After being removed from the car and moved to the top of the gurney, Alex was then taken to the ER room. Arriving there, two nurses stop Mang Rakib and Gintani. He told them to wait outside the ER.

Gintani and Mang Rakib could only nod their heads. They waited outside the ER room in dismay.

Twenty minutes later, a middle-aged doctor came out of the ER room. Gintani and Mang Rakib immediately approached him.

"How's my husband doing, Doc?" ask Gintani.

"I'm sorry, Mom. We've tried our best. However, the Lord willed another," said the doctor looking concerned at Gintani who was still wearing the bride kebaya.

"Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun!" said Mang Rakib and Jessica who just arrived in front of the ER room.

Both of Gintani's legs are no longer able to support his body. Instantly he fell, falling to the floor.

Jessica immediately rushed towards Gintani and hugged her. "You're strong, Gin. You must be strong!" That's all that's gonna come out of Jessica's mouth.

After a few minutes passed, Mang Rakib finally managed to return Alex's body. Gintani hands over Geisha's phone number and asks Jessica to call her and tell Alex what happened. Meanwhile, he himself sat in the ambulance holding Alex's hand which was getting colder.

Gintani was unable to say a word in front of the stiffened body. Her sobs began to subside, but her heart still screamed in memory of all Alex's sacrifices. He started dropping his body next to Alex's body. Along the way, Gintani continues to hug her husband's body.

🍀🍀🍀

Two days have passed since Alex's death. Geisha himself has declared the departure of his brother. He did not mind if his brother had to be buried at Gintani's place, side by side with the Wira's grandfather.

From Geisha, Gintani also knew if it turned out, for the last two years Alex had suffered from brain cancer. Gintani's heart ached more and more in remembrance of all the goodness of the man who had been buried before him.

"Thank you, Bang! Thank you for always being a hero to Gintan. Brother need not worry, Gintan can certainly take care of Gintan and Princess. Perhaps, this is Gintan's destiny, and Gintan must sincerely accept it. Like Gintan Iklas let go of Brother, so that Brother is calm at His side. Gintan will never forget his brother. Gintan go first, yeah, Bang! Tomorrow Gintan comes back here again," said Gintani stroked her husband's navel gently.

When the twilight dawn began to come, Gintani stepped out of the burial place of two people whom he deeply loved. Before returning home, he took the time to make a pilgrimage to his grandfather's grave.

"Grandfather knows, the end of Gintani's destiny was never as beautiful as what grandfather had told Gintan. But Gintan still believes that bad destiny is a beautiful destiny that is delayed. Gintan is sure, at the right time, the beautiful destiny will greet the life of Gintan. When the Princess is happy, at that time Gintan can feel if destiny is beautiful. Gintan can only hope and pray, if the Princess will never feel all the bitterness of any destiny that comes her way. Gintan misses grandpa."

Arriving at the cemetery, Gintani again turned her body.

May God give you the most beautiful place, my heroes.

Finished

Thank you to the readers and author friends who have faithfully read this second author's pious work. Sorry for any lack of othor in making this work.

Look forward to Gintani's next story in the sequel to Gintani's Fate titled I Am the Unacknowledged

The little boy was standing on the rooftop of the APA Architecture building. His eyes stared at the expanse of the city below him. He was as if to say ; 'without anyone, I can stand firm on earth'.

Above the sky there is still the sky. And he wanted to prove that he was the sky.

Year after year passed. He still stands on the rooftop. His face looked up, his hands wide open. "Today I prove to you, O Mortal World, that I, who am not expected, am still able to stand on my own feet. I don't need you, dad. Because I still have God!"

The cry of the young man sounded loud, as loud as the roar of the king of the forest on his throne of belantara. So who is that young man? Why is his determination to challenge the world, so powerful? What was the reason he hated his father so much?

Oh yeah, here it is. Othor also has a new work that just hatched a few days ago in your favorite online reading application. If anyone still deigns to read the work of the third author, please visit, yaaa!
