Prok.prok.Sprok.
The sound of applause again filled my sense of hearing, and for the first time I felt proud to have such a lively applause. And for the first time also I feel very honored with the new title attached to me, the husband of Fatimah Azzahra.
"Don't be mad at me, today I really can't help but be unhappy. Can I go over there and sing?"
I asked Ummi Fazila while pointing to the famous band that was deliberately brought by my orders. There was no reply from him other than to show his face.
While staring at her pretty face I started biting my lower lip, I was very sorry to say that. Had I known she wouldn't like it I would have never asked her permission.
"Do whatever Abi Fazila wants. I won't be angry!"
"really? All right, I'll do it." My reply was short while grasping the fingers of Ummi Fazila, I smiled as I winked.
As I walked, some business associates approached me, they shook my hands with smiles, nothing came out of their speech other than prayer. And of course, there was no reply from me other than 'Thank You.
Three minutes later I was in the middle of a famous band. The oriental face of his vocalist showed off fatigue. Understandably, since then he donated his merdunya voice.
"Good night to the world... I am here to bring love, to spread compassion, and to give happiness without leaving a scar." I said as soon as the microphone given by the vocalist was in my hands.
Ahahahaha!
Everyone chuckled as soon as they heard my short speech. 'Happy without leaving a scar' It sounds exaggerated, but that's the truth. There are also people clapping.
"Hay sir Alan... Are you there because you feel happy? Wait another month, you won't be able to laugh anymore because of the wife's nagging." Guyon Pak Junaidi, Papa's business partner, his half-face showed off a knotty smile. He opened his voice while showing off his sad pretend face.
"Hi sir... If she's as beautiful as my wife, I'm ready to hear her scolding all my life." Reply without removing a smile from my handsome face, a second later I cupped my hands in front of my chest while bowing towards Ummi Fazila.
I see that beautiful face is still filled with smiles, I can say I have never seen her laugh.
In a place not too far away sat Bobby and Iklima at one table. The two of them shared a meal, occasionally staring at the entertainment stage.
Without saying a word, Iklima looked at Bobby with a loving look. Staring at Bobby's handsome face always made him carve out a happy smile. But this time it was different, Iklima was seen shedding tears.
"Do you remember Aunt Eren?"
Hearing Bobby's short question made Iklima a little surprised. Iklima could only nod his head slowly.
"Tante Eren has calmed down there, Aunt Eren no longer feels pain. After all, Mas has promised to keep you a single piece of Mas's life." Say Bobby softly while removing the clear droplets coming out of Iklima's eyes.
"Thank you because Mas Bobby agreed to the late Mama's request to always take care of me, thanks to Mas Bobby Mama leaving while carrying a smile.
Maybe Mas Bobby does not know, in every pull and breath of Ima, there is only gratitude, Ima grateful that the power to make Mas Bobby a part of the life of Ima.
If there comes a difficult time in our lives, Ima promises Ima will never complain. For the greatest Ima mas Bobby. Even if Ima is reborn, Ima will continue to stick to Mas Bobby, because for Ima only Mas bobby will always fill Ima's life." Iklima said at length, seeing the beautiful figure that became Master and Nyonya happy to make Iklima clearly reveal all his heart.
Again Iklima looked at Bobby's handsome face without batting an eye.
"Why? Am I that handsome?" Bobby deliberately said that so that Iklima did not dissolve in feelings of sadness because he remembered his late mother.
"Iiihhh Bobby lebay...!" Iklima pinched Bobby's stomach while flicking his thin lips. Bobby who is pinched can only be thin to express his happiness.
Mmmmmm!
"Gee... You guys are really outrageous. You can make out in front of a broken-hearted single."
Bobby and Iklima stared at each other in disbelief, not knowing when the beautiful figure they knew as the play boy appeared without notice.
"Pa-pak Araf? You're here?" Iklima asked as he ducked, his voice sounding nervous.
"Of course I'm here, he's not just your boss. He's my best friend, too." Reply Araf while folding his arms in front of his chest.
"Ckckl... I can't believe this! Up ahead, your boss will sing a song for his wife. While you? You guys are busy dating!
Yayaya's... That I can understand, once you're engaged you two start to look forward to catching up with your boss. Aye, right?" Araf asked while shaking his head.
Meanwhile, on the music stage still stands a true star figure.
"Honest... I'm not a humorous man. I also cannot express words of love easily.
I can only hope that the beautiful Angel sitting there will never get bored of me." I said excitedly while pointing at Ummi Fazila who was currently still sitting on her throne.
I noticed that everyone was laughing, some were applauding. I don't know why they look so excited. Whatever, what matters is that everyone is happy, that's enough for me.
"My wife.... Thank you for choosing me among the millions and even billions of men who exist.
I said at length, out of nowhere the courage to express my heart, I was afraid that when we were both I could not reveal all the feelings, this was my only chance, he said, this is all I can do to calm my heart.
Prok.prok.Sprok.
Honestly, I was flattered to see the enthusiasm of everyone, including Mama and Papa who are currently sitting at the front desk. There were the Kiai Hasan and Nyai Latifa families beside the Wijaya family table. Their smiles were seen showing thousands of gratitude for seeing the happy smile of Umm Fazila.
The romantic song by Natta Reza, 'Love of Dreams' began to flow melodiously.
I never asked. Perfect companion figure. Enough of him who always patiently accompany. In my shortcomings.
I started to open my voice while staring at the beautiful full moon face of Ummi Fazila, I looked at her lovingly. Truly, my soul is now filled with one word, love. An extraordinary love that I alone cannot measure its depth with mere words.
Yet... God presents. You. Robust... Never to complain. Happy to be with you always.
If there were a miracle. I want to engrave. Your name, above the stars. Spacewalk...
So that everyone knows. You mean to me. Forever. You belong to me
I was silent, for a moment I dissolved in a loving tone, a minute later I smiled triumphantly while continuing the lyrics of the song.
Now... I've proven it. You are a loyal companion. The strong never complain. Happy to be with you always.
If there's a miracle, I'd like to engrave your name
Above the stars. Spacewalk....
So that everyone knows. You mean to me
Forever. You belong to me
But I realize myself. Cannot always
Happy you. Hohoho...
But I will fight. For the greatest of you. Dream lover. Ooohohohhhhhhhhhh...
My tears began to drip remembering every second of the events I went through until I reached this happy point. These are not tears of sadness, these are tears of happiness, tears that signify every suffering I go through will still return to one word - happy.
Prok.prok.Sprok.
The sound of applause reverberated, I vaguely caught the figure of Bani who was currently clapping while removing the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand. He sat down with Sabina.
Thank goodness there was no grudge in her heart, she was not just a friend, she was also my former gray-white childhood sweetheart.
"Alan was always stunning, I couldn't stop admiring her. But now, it seems like I have to learn not to do that." Said Oliv while improving his sitting position.
"Sister Oliv will definitely get a much better man than Alan's brother. Sabina also knows that Oliv used to date Alan's brother.
Take it easy, even if we're not destined to be a sister-in-law, Sabina promises to be nice to Oliv." Sabina held onto Oliv's shoulder. The two girls exchanged smiles when Araf's figure was present and sat down next to Sabina.
"Yeahhhh... You're right, you have to be nice to her, who knows after Oliv gets home she'll slam all the furniture in her house." Araf chirps disregarding Sabina's astonished face.
"Stop... Don't say anything, I know sometimes you're so cuddly. Tonight I don't want to hear any protests from you." Appointing Araf to Sabina who just wanted to open her mouth to protest, Araf seemed to be able to guess the way the girl as graceful as Sabina thought.
"Bas weird, I haven't even said anything she said I was a tadpole." Sabina grumbled as she stared at Araf's back who kept walking leaving him. Araf's tall and burly body disappeared behind the other invited guests.
Five minutes later.
"Be careful... I can finally hear your golden voice again. I never thought you'd love that much for Miss Fatimah." Said Araf while holding my shoulder.
Ummi Fazila who heard Araf's words could only faintly smile.
"If I had known you loved her so much, I would have taken her off earlier." This time Araf whispered softly in my ear.
"I'm sure you'll find a loyal figure who will accompany you in every second of your time lovingly. That day is coming soon, just wait a minute." I whispered back in Araf's ear while hugging his body.
There was not a word that came out from the speech of Ummi Fazila, he smiled briefly while looking at Araf, and did not forget he cupped both hands in front of his chest.
I can see Ummi Fazila has a lot of respect for Araf, don't ask me how I feel about that, because I'm always proud my Fatimah behaved like that. This festive feast will end and will leave behind memories, may our friendship last forever, will not end just because of a brief debate.
Observe little that is needed to make a happy life, all within yourself in the way you think and behave.
