HAPPIER
CHAPTER 27

The caress of my mother's hand in my head suddenly pulled my consciousness out of sleep. But I did not wake up immediately, I wanted to linger like this, I closed my eyes again, enjoying the gentle hand caress of this woman who had given birth and raised me.

The sound of the dawn adhan recited each other from one mosque with another mosque, I was still too sleepy after a night of trouble sleeping because I thought about many things.

"Wake, baby. Adzan already!" Mother's soft voice finally came out as well to wake me up. Maybe he is the same as me, both enjoy moments that he only often did when I was a child. I miss him, I'm sure he misses him too. The proof, until he made a sound, his hand still did not come off stroking my hair.

"Still sleepy, ma'am!" My words are spoiled like I'm whining.

"Didn't sleep last night?" Mom looked at me as I opened my eyes.

"Sleep, but a little." Answer me by bringing my index finger and thumb closer together.

"Udah, wake up. Candidates cannot be lazy to wake up at dawn. Later her husband was pecked by the actor." Mother got up from the folding bed that I slept on and then pulled my hands together to stand up immediately and fulfill the obligation to worship Him.

"Mother what the hell, why is the husband of his own son prayed on the actor's peck?" My protest was pouting even though I knew mom was just joking.

"Then the mother failed, if the prospective manten lazy wake up at dawn, then the husband failed handsome." Mom's smile widens.

"Huuuu.. neither of them make me happy, Mother anyway.." I picked up while going to the bathroom.

I heard mom wake up dad and help him to tayammum.

I washed my face many times and stared at it behind the glass on the bathroom wall. Sky's words when ending last night's conversation again seemed to fill the mind space.

Hurriedly put my mind and then took the water.

*****

Kabul ijab planned to be implemented before dhuhur apparently retreated to ba'da asar prayer. Reportedly Sky's parents are on their way at the moment. I am happy but also a little worried. Not what, last night Sky had said if Umi Aida slightly objected to this wedding plan. Although Sky tried to convince me that umi's objection was not at all because he could not accept my past, but solely out of fear he saw us fail to sail the household ark that we were going to build. He did not want to see his two favorite children hurt, especially if they lost both.

I can also understand Aida's fear, because basically it's not just Aida's umi who will lose if we fail, I will lose my best friend and second parents.

But I can't possibly back out of this plan, I don't mind getting stuck in married life after this, as long as I get my forgiveness from both of my parents. Although I am not sure what kind of household life I will live with Sky, but one thing I believe, Sky is a good man and can make me happy. Love affairs, let him come alone if it is time.

"Bery...!!!" A beautiful woman dressed as a doctor greeted me. "Bery right?" Ask again because he may still be doubtful about his vision.

I, who was sitting waiting for my prescription line, stared at him for a moment, trying to remember the face. My eyes were slightly rounded and my lips were just like that after successfully putting together a memory piece about who the owner of the face was.

"Vivian?" I asked as I raised my index finger towards him.

"Bery right?" Ask again who I immediately embraced and immediately stood up.

"Yes Allah... Vivian!" I pulled her arms and shook her a few times, Vivian pulled me into her arms instead. I also welcome his embrace to release all curiosity after 10 years of separation without ever knowing how each other's lives after the embarrassing event.

Vivian loosened her embrace, her eyes already reddened with tears already welled up.

"Heiii.. what's wrong?" I asked not to understand the expression of his apology and also his reaction that hugged me like this.

Didn't we not come that close to getting that unbearable feeling after this meeting?

"Sorry. sorry, I'm laughing. There are a lot of things I want to talk about with you, but I'm currently on an operating schedule. Give me your phone number, once my business is done I'll call you right away." He said after feeling a little calmer and taking off his embrace on my body.

"Okay, get your phone. My phone's left in dad's room." Vivian immediately gave me her phone and I wrote down my phone number and I pressed the green button so I could save it.

"Thanks yeah, Ber. I'm going first. Assalamu'alaikum." He passed after appearing unwilling to leave but his duties and responsibilities as a doctor.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." I answered softly, he was too hasty to just hear my greetings.

I immediately went to the cashier after my father's name was called. Actually mom forbid me from doing activities all day because today will be a historic day for me. But I insisted on taking my father's medicine in the pharmacy. The pharmacy was not too far from the care room of father, I could not bear to see the face of my mother who seemed exhausted due to lack of sleep.

Sky himself was going to KUA to take care of some files for the completeness of the documents needed for kabul later, he was escorted by Anzi and one of his father's assistants.

This kabul itself will only be attended by a few nuclear families only, only the siblings of our father and mother, as well as the Sky family. Incidentally Umi Aida also still has a brother here. If it's Abi Hasan, I don't understand how it relates to his extended family after those past events. Lastly, I heard that Abi Hasan was no longer recognized as a son and brother by his extended family here.

Kabul will be held in the father's room because the father's condition has not recovered and still has to continue his treatment. For the reception, we haven't discussed it at all. I myself do not care about it, if I may choose, I think the reception luxury-luxury especially to be broadcast on the TV station for days is really very village in my opinion. It's just a matter of perception, hopefully no one judges me mentally poor after this.

I approached my father who was being bribed with porridge by my mother. I took a chair next to my mother.

"Where are you, how good are you?" I asked while stroking his arm after he ended his meal.

"Alhamdulillah.dad more healthy because soon will see the beloved daughter of father will soon be married." Said father excited.

I didn't expect, my father's attitude turned soft and warm after all the disappointments I've been carving out all along.

"Thank you, mom.sorry, Bery for everything." I stared at the faces of my father and mother in turn. I could not hold back the pace of my tears that kept pushing out without excuse.

"Dad and mom are sorry for you too, baby. All this time we were too selfish to let you bear your wounds alone. We should've embraced you by then, not dumped you." Say father with his own face.

While the mother, from now on she was just silent, but her tears were enough to represent all the long sentences that she might want to convey to me. His hands continued to caress my back, occasionally he bowed then wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

"No father, no mother, you are not wrong, the choice you made was right, look. If mom and dad had been easier to forgive me then, maybe I wouldn't be like this right now. Now, Bery's life is perfect because it's getting sorry mom and dad. No matter what 10 years I have spent withholding his will to miss you, now everything has paid off. I love you guys."

I put my head on my chest, I'm sure my current clothes are wet with tears in my eyes and nose. Dad stroked my darling head covered in hijab, while mom continued to embrace my body from behind.

The atmosphere of haru controlled us after releasing the burden that squeezed for 1 decade. It feels relieved..so relieved that it was thought by me, if God wants to take my life right now, then I am sincere.
