Eps31 - First Night
The wedding ceremony of Firda and Gabriel went well and now they are legal to be husband and wife.
There was no happiness on Gabriel's or Firda's face, but his marriage to Firda made Gabriel at least feel relieved because he had a chance to correct his mistakes.
After the show is over. Gabriel and Firda enter Firda's room.
Gabriel watched every corner of Firda's room that looked unique to him, it was small yet beautiful. What caught Gabriel's attention was a lot of scrap paper stuck on the wall of Firda's room, making the room look like a detective's room.
Gabriel stepped while still watching every corner of Firda's room, until he accidentally approached Firda's bed which was very small for him.
"Never dare to approach my bed!" firda's firmness immediately surprised Gabriel. Now her attention is on Firda who just came out of the bathroom and has changed clothes, even Firda has removed her makeup.
"Firda, I'm really sorry" said Gabriel regretfully but again Firda stared coldly. He climbed into the bed, pulled out the blanket and closed his eyes. Gabriel was still silently pecking at his original place, his heart so sore whenever getting a look of hatred from Firda yet he could only endure it.
Because Firda forbade him from approaching the bed, Gabriel sat up straight at Firda's study. His gaze was straight looking at Firda who was still closing her eyes.
Gabriel's phone rings, John's name on it. Gabriel came out of Firda's room and answered John's call.
"What's wrong?" ask Gabriel.
"Mrs Angeline has signed her divorce papers, sir" John said, and Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
"Thank God" Gabriel replied "How is Michael?" ask her.
"It's the same, fine. Earlier Frank took his path and I followed him" Gabriel smiled faintly at that, as his father certainly felt jealous of Frank being so close to Michael. And somehow later he had to tell Firda that he had a son.
Gabriel immediately disconnects his phone and he immediately returns to Firda's room.
Gabriel looked at Firda who was still closing her eyes and like her the girl was asleep, as she looked so calm and sounded a subtle snoring. Gabriel saw a medicine bottle beside Firda's bed, Gabriel examined her and now he knew Firda was asleep, definitely due to the influence of this medicine.
Gabriel returned to Firda's study table, sitting there facing Firda. Not sleeping all night was nothing new to Gabriel, he was used to it.
Gabriel watched as Firda slept, once in a while the girl squirmed, turning to the right and to the left as if she had not slept well. Until Firda suddenly heard crying softly in his sleep, Gabriel stood up to check Firda but he was reminded by Firda's orders not to approach his bed. Slowly Gabriel stepped back with a feeling of guilt and discomfort, he again sat down at Firda's study table.
While Firda had never slept quietly since the day's incident, even to sleep alone he needed a doctor's prescribed medication on him. Firda always felt guilty to his family and sinned against his God, because what happened to him was also Firda's fault for violating his mother's orders. Had he not gone that time, had he not trusted Gabriel as his mother had commanded, none of this would have happened.
Firda rushed to the bathroom to pick up ablution, then he came out again and still saw Gabriel sitting at his study table.
Firda took his cool and mukena, he spread his cool and stood on top of her.
Firda was about to pray, but when he was about to do takbir, he turned his head and saw Gabriel who was now also seeing him.
"Do you want to pray?" asked Firda ketus which of course made Gabriel surprised and he immediately stood up straight. He walked towards Firda and stood right beside Firda, making Firda frown in confusion.
"Yet your ablution" said Firda then which now even makes Gabriel confused.
"What do you mean?" ask her lirih.
"Wudhu, before praying must be ablution" said Firda annoyed.
"But I don't know how" Gabriel replied honestly which made Firda gap. In his heart he increasingly cursed himself, he not only married a criminal man but also a man who was not religious.
"Come, I teach you" he said later, sending Gabriel to the bathroom.
Firda leads Gabriel to do his ablution step along with his reading that seems difficult to say Gabriel, but Firda still patiently teaches Gabriel.
Gabriel was very happy about it. He did not expect at all, his angry anger Firda on her, it turns out Firda can still do good even though Firda looks very hate her too. Making Gabriel admire Firda even more.
Gabriel could not be the priest of Firda because he could not even read the fatihah, nor could he be the makmum of Firda because he was male. As a result, Gabriel prayed beside Firda and only followed Firda's movements. Firda told him because he felt obliged to help Gabriel in his worship, because if not Firda, who else?
Gabriel felt so happy, his first night so memorable. Because on this first night, Firda gave something that no one could give. Firda taught her something no one ever taught her. And on this first night, Gabriel got to know how good Firda was. So awesome.
After the selesei prayer, Firda stood and prayed. Again Gabriel could only follow him and sometimes he seemed confused, Firda again shed tears while praying even he did not care about Gabriel's whereabouts beside him. Firda still feels guilty, what else now he has lied to his entire extended family by pretending to love Gabriel.
Seeing Firda cry a mouthful, Gabriel was about to calm Firda by touching her shoulder but Firda immediately brushed her off.
"It's all your fault, I'm stained, I'm a sinner, and now I'm lying to everyone. It's all your fault" said Firda, which left Gabriel speechless in only a thousand languages.
Just now that he was happy because Firda was willing to talk and help him in his worship, now he had to re-feel the bitterness of his hatred Firda.
