Light For Gus Mu
Chapter 48: Rebellious

Shafiyah kept her head down, and finally Wafi finished singing the meaning-laden love song. Everyone clapped their hands in joy, but Shafiyah only made a small clap. He turned as Wafi turned his head towards him, the man sat back down and his friends kept laughing.

”How dare you Wafi,” said Mail so proud.

Shafiyah smiled behind her veil. Wafi grabbed her vibrating hape, a message came in from uminya, asking her to go home. Wafi circulated his gaze, he waved to the resto clerk to pay for everything.

”Cepet very Mu,” said Radit.

”If there is time we eat again,” said Wafi and his friends nodded.

”Be careful you yes,” Mail said and Wafi nodded. Shafiyah was sad because the man seemed to be leaving the restaurant, Shafiyah watched Wafi for a moment. And finally the man left.

”Cie Shafiyah,” said Nur and Shafiyah just smiled.

Elsewhere, in the mall. Precisely in Sara's mimic cosmetics store, Sara came when she heard her son was not allowed to take the cosmetics he wanted, even continuing to question its authenticity as Shafiyah.

”I'm sorry Mom,” said the fat lady.

”My son is rarely here, you even kicked him indirectly, know!!” sara and her employees snarled in fear. Sara's eyes were so sharp, she was cursing and screaming. The other employees were silent, unable to do anything.

Wafi delivers uminya to Afsheen's house. Raihanah wants to stay at her daughter's house tonight, Wafi sits on the porch of her sister's house while watching every passing vehicle. He rubbed his face rough and did not notice the girls who were watching him. Bayyin's wedding is coming up, while Shafiyah and Wafi are getting no clarity. Wafi last saw the girl in the restaurant, somehow she is now.

”Mumu, want a snack? diem continued from earlier” asked Raihanah and Wafi turned his head.

”Umi, I'm already big. Don't call me so constantly, like nawarin aja little boy,” said Wafi protest and Raihanah smiled. The woman sat down and Wafi was silent, she grabbed her trembling hape. The incoming message from someone he was waiting for, Wafi opened the incoming chat with a smile.

”Assalamu'alaikum ugly, so no? proceed to the same guarantee Fiyah😶?” chat from Habibah.

Wafi stood up, watching the message carefully. Raihanah was confused to see it.

”Why you?” ask Raihanah.

”Alhamdulillah, Thank God.” Wafi exclaimed constantly while holding his chest that was pounding violently. Her lips smiled again and Raihanah pulled her shirt so that her son would sit down.

” Wa'alaikumus Salaam, hayu gas😎. Don't be angry anymore." Reply Wafi while whining.

”Mumu, you why si?” ketus Raihanah and Wafi shook their heads.

”Fiyah want me to fight again umi, umi support no? my steps without umi support will be in vain, umi want not do'ain me?” said Wafi while grabbing both hands Raihanah.” Your mother loves the same umi, just please this umi child needs a prayer from her umi so that everything she aspires to be realized. The prayers of the parents are important,” he continued softly and Raihanah looked at the two eyes of her son. Who was always sad at first, now looks sparkling because of the news from Shafiyah.

Raihanah returned the hand of her son and Wafi watched him.” Umi do'ain, umi support. May Allah melt their hearts, their families, in order to receive you. No matter how successful you are, ex-con will still be seen as such. Not just the rich man that the Shafiyah family wanted, but the man whose name was clear of cases. Patience, hope you succeed and can propose Shafiyah. We pray together, if the father or mother of Shafiyah agrees. No more ta'aruf, apply and get married. You have met too often, inviting Slander and adultery. May Allah launch all your will, umi wholeheartedly support, do not worry yes,’ Raihanah said with a big smile behind her niqob.

Wafi smiled widely, feeling happy because of the support and prayers from his mother.

Evening day came. Shafiyah called Wafi to tell him about the approval of her brother Fajar. Wafi stood on the balcony, staring at the darkness of the night.

”Kak Fajar support us, he said the same Fiyah,” said Shafiyah and Wafi speechless. Is that true? the annoying, rude and savage man gave his blessing to the ex-con to get his only sister? Wafi.

”Bener?”

”Iya,” Shafiyah replied with a smile.” Where do you work now?"

”In his office om Noah, sister.... Uh, her sister umi means. Do'ain yes, I honestly don't understand. Still need to learn a lot.”

”Excite yes,” said the girl was so carefree.

”Do not block my number again.”

Shafiyah smiled knots hearing it.” If aa stubborn later Fiyah block again, why not go abroad?”

”Umi does not give permission, you also do not. I can do what if it's so.” Wafi smiled and Shafiyah also smiled.” Oh yes, what is your assessment?”

”Soal?”

”Soal events in restaurant.”

”Bikin shy to know, Fiyah shy. Diledekin until now. Where the video goes viral again.”

”Dih, didn't I say it was you.”

”Oh that's it, nyebelin."

Wafi gave a crisp laugh hearing the girl get angry." I just call your initials your name, why should I be ashamed. They won't know.”

”Fiyah's friends know it's Fiyah, continue on social media. The video was tagged to Fiyah to know. Shy ih.”

”In the office there are also many who discuss this, it is okay. Even good, there will be no girl who seduces me.”

”Tetep aja, the actor did not look at the feather," said the girl slowly, and very ketus. But Wafi did not hear it.

”What? I didn't hear.”

”Nggak.” Shafiyah smiled.

Wafi pouted and glanced at the clock dj wall.” Sleep yes, it's night.”

”Yes, a Wafi too. Assalamualaikum.”

”Wa'alaikumus Salaam.” Wafi replied with a smile, then Shafiyah snapped the call. Wafi was speechless when she saw the incoming chat from Sara.

”When did you go abroad? I don't need you really, but since you want to fight for Shafiyah, I appreciate that a little.” The message from Sara was so angry. As Wafi never left, the two thick eyebrows of Wafi shriveled, she typed a few words..

”Tomorrow," in short reply. Sara desperately wants him to leave, but she won't leave at all times. Sara across the street was relieved, and Shafiyah's marriage to Farel was arranged in such a way. And tomorrow, is the engagement day.

*****

The next day, Wafi went to work as usual. He stopped by the side of the road, in front of a modern market building that was being built. Wafi noticed the workers, if he became a contractor, he would hire his former friends, who had trouble getting a job. Wafi clearly knew what it was like, she was saddened to hear her friends complain of being ridiculed, humiliated and exiled. He even got worse treatment than that.

Wafi drove his car back at high speed, waiting for the place to come home soon.

Elsewhere, on campus. Shafiyah was walking alone. To go home soon and he's very tired at the moment. Shafiyah turned around, running small when she saw Farel but Farel chased after her.

”Where are you going?” farel firmly and pulled the girl's arm. Shafiyah flinched and brushed it off rudely.

”Don't hold me carelessly!" shafiyah snapped, with wrath and her eyes watering. Which girl is not afraid, touched by a man like Farel. The closed one alone cannot respect the man, let alone the open-ended one.

”No!” reject Shafiyah toilet.

”Reject me keep Shafiyah, soon we get married.” Farel exclaimed with a wide grin, as if he was confident in his words and Shafiyah shook her head.

”Don't expect, I don't want to marry you. Why should I? I'm tired you keep chasing, please enough Farel.” Shafiyah was so frustrated at his request. He was tantamount to making the man happy, the more he refused the more he acted.

”Because I want you to Shafiyah, we will get married, and you will never be able to escape. We are engaged tonight,” firmly Farel and both eyes Shafiyah rounded.

”No, don't expect that to happen Farel. I don't want.”

Farel suddenly pulled out his hape, showing a photo of Shafiyah on his phone screen.” I even got your photo, you think I'll release you huh?”

Shafiyah's tears poured out, seeing her picture without a veil obtained by the man. What from her mother? how devastated was he at this moment, who was trying to keep his shame and pride.

”Remove,” says Shafiyah Heavy.

"No,” reject Farel cruel face.

”Remove me say!” screams Shafiyah wrath and Farel panicked, the people around noticed him suspiciously.” Remove, please.”

”Your loving mother, I have no meaning. But it's mine, and soon you're all.” Farel whispered and Shafiyah wiped her tears, the girl immediately ran away from where she stood. He came home in a taxi, he didn't want everything Farel said to be real.

Along the way, Shafiyah looked restless. Arriving at the house of Dawn, sure enough. The house is so crowded with people, the home decor is nicely decorated for engagement. Shafiyah entered slowly, with both eyes puffy and watching around. There was his name and Farel's name on a white board, and on the edge was decorated with white roses. Whatisthis? she continued muttering, wondering what was happening in her brother's house. Dawn could not do anything, she was even slapped by her mother for daring to resist.

”Shafiyah has returned home,” exclamation Ena. Wife Adi. Dawn turned her head along with Meri, Sara smiled and approached Shafiyah.

”What is this mom?” lirih Shafiyah persisted.

”You will be engaged to Farel tonight, rest. Perias who will help you is waiting.” Sara smiled, moved her hand and grabbed Shafiyah's hand. Roughly, Shafiyah brushed off her mother's hand.

”I don't want to, I want to go just hiks!” shafiyah's tears broke, regarding her life, her future, her mother did not ask her at all whether she wanted to or not, and gave her the opportunity to do what she wanted of her own volition. Sara pulled Shafiyah's hand rough, grabbed her two shoulders, then looked at her sharply.

”Here many people, don't embarrass mom.” Firmly Sara and tightening her grip, the girl kept quiet and looked at her mother's face fixedly.

”I don't want Mom, I don't want to marry Farel. He was mean, trying to harass me repeatedly, but mom turned a blind eye? mom doesn't love me.” With tears continuing to drip, Shafiyah said softly.

"Mother loves you, let alone your only daughter. Babe, don't make mom shy.” Whispering Sara while stroking Shafiyah's cheek, Shafiyah retreated, brushing her mother's hands violently.

”I am indeed the only daughter, my dear mother is the same as me. when I did not obey, I entered the boarding school even though I did not want to, I went to school that I did not want, I did not want, I went to college in a major I didn't like, I couldn't do this and that, from a small hold on the bridle, there was a clear distinction between affection and restraint. I'm tired Mom, I'm tired. I don't want to marry the man you choose, I don't like I don't love.” Shafiyah's voice rose, she looked at her mother in front of her full of anger. Who can live with a man who is not loved? he could stand it no longer, holding back and grasping his grievances.

Sara was inflamed hearing her daughter's rejection, what's wrong with Farel? the man was rich, handsome and well-established. Much different from Wafi, her daughter's life will be much happier than it is now.

”Do not talk nonsense, the wedding will be taken care of soon. You'll be treated like a queen in that family, they're rich, you'll be happy." Sara continued to persuade Shafiyah not to act.

”Not all happiness depends on money and money. L'm happy? I guess I'm happy living with all the crazy rules in this family?”

”Shafiya!!” yell Adi wrathfully.

”You're getting married, I don't want to hear you refuse! You're engaged tonight." Sara was so unwilling to listen to Shafiyah's words, though it was clear that Shafiyah was tired from her actions.

Shafiyah growled in annoyance, her tears dripping down and her two eyes were rounded. Sara was speechless looking at her daughter, who had never been like that before. Shafiyah stuffed both her hands into the veil, all of them frowning in wonder. The girl untied the veil rope, then pulled the veil rough and her pretty face was now seen by everyone.

”Face of this mother's son, mother selling to Farel. Where the conscience of mother, I who tried to maintain self-esteem, shut down and maintain honor all this time, suddenly mother damaged so aja. Mom gave me a picture of me to such a perverted guy, this face became the orgasm of a jerk guy and mom even likes it? I can't tell which ones are good and bad. I asked Gus Mu to go abroad so I could marry Farel, right? this engagement was even sudden because I was afraid Gus Mu was acting,” he said while looking at his mother sharply. Adi approached and pulled Shafiyah's shoulder to stop looking at Sara like that.

"Polite talk, lots of people. Don't stare at your own mother like that Shafiyah,” Adi whispered but Shafiyah pushed her away. Shafiyah stepped forward, closer to Sara. Herman was silent, letting his daughter vent her emotions.

Sara's face looks disappointed, because she saw the gaze and speech of Shafiyah that so tormented her heart.

”Gus Mu is not a man like that Mom, he is good. Brother Fajar, you're in the hospital after a fight with Farel at the nightclub, and you're still standing up for that guy? I don't understand my mother's way of thinking, why don't you kill me? because now mom is also making me die slowly.” Shafiyah looked at her mother sharply, Sara clenched her hands firmly.

Plaque!! the sound of a loud slap was heard, Shafiyah's left cheek appeared to be flushed after being hit by her own mother.

”Sara! what the fuck are you!” herman shouted as he approached.

”Bu!” shouts of Dawn and Qais. Adi immediately cupped Shafiyah's cheek and Sara looked at her daughter sharply.

”Dragon your greeting, you will still be married to Farel.” His cry turned around, to leave immediately. Shafiyah took a deep breath and her chest felt tight at this moment.

”Aaaaaaa....... Aaaaa.. Aaaa....!!!!!!!” Shafiyah shouted loudly, her voice was so deafening, Sara covered her ears. Sara turned around and looked at Shafiyah who kept shouting.”Aaaaaa,,,, hiks...!!!" Shafiyah continued to shout, covered with a great cry and her body collapsed to the floor. The girl fainted unconscious, she could only scream, separated from her idol, her lover. And now forced to turn himself in to the man he hates. All he did was shout, so that everyone would know how devastated and painful he was right now.

”Shafiyah," said Qais. She pulls Shafiyah's weak body into her arms, Herman pats her daughter's cheeks and Sara steps back, shocked and sad to see her daughter's condition.

Brake!!!! Brug! Dawn broke all the decorations, dropping boards bearing the names of Farel and Shafiyah. Meri silently let her husband like that, this time she supported him.

”See mom, look!” shouts of Dawn and points at Shafiyah.

”We're taking it to the hospital." Adi exclaimed and Qais immediately carried Shafiyah.

”Mothers are outrageous," said Adi rasping. Now, Sara's cornered. He continued to pay attention to Shafiyah who was taken at a quick pace by Qais. Herman was crying because Shafiyah was having convulsions.

”Honey, Shafiyah.” Herman kept his son's hand. Qais stuffed Shafiyah's mouth with a handkerchief. Qais put his chin on his sister's head while crying.

”Cepet!” snapped of Dawn because Adi catapulted driving his car.

”Istighfar neng, Istighfar,” said Herman and clasped his daughter's hand tightly.

Elsewhere, Wafi and Aidan were facing off. Wafi was visibly riled up and held his chest occasionally, Shafiyah's shadow growing stronger haunting him.

”Why did Gus reject my sister?" asked Aidan and his face showed disappointment.

”I can't be sorry," replied Wafi gently.

”What is Gus Mu still expecting Shafiyah? after everything that's happened, are you obsessed?" said Aidan scoffed and Wafi clenched his hands firmly. His jaw hardened hearing Aidan's words.

”Why do you have to be busy thinking about that? I don't need to be commented on with you Aidan" said Wafi ketus.

”I am in doubt with the Shafiyah family, let alone Gus Mu. We better find a mediocre girl, from the same caste as us." Aidan smiled wryly as he spoke.

”That's not what I saw, whether Shafiyah came from a rich family or not. That won't change my intentions.” Resolutely Wafi refused, he would not be affected in the slightest.

”In fact Shafiyah is difficult to reach Gus. Understand that.” Aidan Meleos left after expressing his dislike. Wafi snorted loudly and continued to beristighfar.
