The night before the party
The sound of the waves sounded very clear. Usually by night the sea water has gone up. All the shores have become small estuaries.
The man sat on the terrace of the villa where he was staying. After meeting Vira, let go of the longing. Their status is already a couple, but it should end tomorrow. That hesitation was clearly visible from the look in his eyes.
"Laughter,"
Deka was sitting next to his only son. The middle-aged man knew that there was something his son was thinking.
"Yes, Pa," Dawa smiled as she leaned her body against the back of the woven chair.
"I'm sorry papa, yes,"
"Why marry Aunt Dewi, I don't care if papa is looking for a new companion, but why should the same Aunt Dewi?"
"Son, if you want to continue the relationship with Vira is okay. You're not blood so it's not an obstacle to being together for the next relationship,"
"Why did papa even say when he wanted to marry Aunt Goddess? why not first when I tried to get up from a slump for Savira?"
"I'm sorry, son. It's all out of papa's control as a human being" Deka said.
"Andu," the voice of the middle-aged woman intermingled in the chatter of father and son.
"Oma knows it must be heavy for you. Oma had met a kind girl. Helping Oma regardless of who she helped. Maybe you can get to know her after you failed with her daughter Dewi. Sorry is not Oma's intention to mate. But what's wrong with you knowing him. Even if Oma just wanted to match you with Oma's friend's granddaughter,"
"Bude Kenanga isn't here tomorrow?" ask Dawa.
"Bude you can't come, son. She ...."
"He can't accept me yet, Pa," guessed Dawa.
"It needs to be a process for this, son. Papa will also try to get him to accept my son,"
Dawa realized, as a new person, he was not easily accepted by Abraham's extended family. Nevertheless, his grandmother considered him a grandchild already in gratitude. Moreover, he was also self-aware of his nasab status.
After Deka led her mother into the house. Dawa was back in loneliness. Close your eyes while enjoying the night air around the cottage.
"So don't be crazy! where might we run," a reply from Savira.
"That's all I can do to fight for our love, Vira,"
"just that? only a coward can think that way. If you dare to approach your mother, soften your heart, it is just a struggle. The way you're going is just going to add new problems,"
"But, Cow,"
"It's up to you, if you still think like that don't expect me to know you,"
Dawa reads the last message Savira replied.
"I'm sorry, Cow," Dawa replied to Savira's last message.
His hand touched his leg support stick. A knocking sound rang out from the front room. His eyes looked at the clock already showing 23:00.
Go into the room to see that the papa is gone. Usually if the married person sleeps not soundly as if something is in mind.
Reflecting when Irul asks to accelerate his marriage with Kayla. I don't know why something is awkward. He said he wasn't ready yet. At that time he had not fulfilled his efforts to find "Cow" if he married Kayla. Automatically his business was seized on his household.
Why am I so nervous now? is it because me and Vira are gonna be brothers. I don't know! I see papa is too relaxed to be a bride. There is no sense of degan at all. But why am I the one who wants to be a bride?
Taking wisdom and valuable lessons from various life problems is the best way to be able to interpret it wisely. Every problem faced in life often gives valuable lessons and the best experience. Yes, the journey of life is not always smooth as the will of man. Because, there are times when we taste the sweet bitters of life with different problems.
When Pandawa prayed, Deka secretly saw his son. There is a sense of cool to see his only son making the night prayer.
"Sekar, if you here see the growth and development of our children. Not growing up again but already want to be the husband of people.
I'm sorry, I wish I could find you sooner. Maybe we've become a happy family,"
Deka wiped her tears. Remembering the time when Sekar only left a letter when he knew his mother would match up with Yasmin. Even though he knew Yasmin back then already had a lover. But for the sake of her mother's friendship with Yasmin's mother. Just willing to give up.
From the story of his mother, their family owed a lot of gratitude to his grandfather Yasmin. His mother was not from the rich either. It was discovered by his father Abraham Samad. The man who said he was able to conquer his Oma at that time.
From the story of her mother, the grandmother did not want if Helena married a rich man. Helena will be treated like a maid. For the effort and hard work of the father. They finally got the blessing of their grandmother who lives in Sukabumi.
To achieve success, effort and prayer are two things that must be done by a Muslim. However, all of that will be more complete with trust, or surrender to Allah SWT.
Resignation to God does not mean that we let go of everything without any physical effort to achieve it. Surrender to God must also be accompanied by effort.
Dawa saw the father rise from the night dispute. He did not try to call or ask why he woke up. The man sat on the side of the bed.
After complaining to the almighty. The man put his body on the bed. Although he could not close his eyes.
Savira's shadow returns to dance in her memory. The bracelet he made resembled a small bracelet Savira gave him. But she did not expect that Vira was wearing the same bracelet.
Elsa's words are in her memory.
"Never seen the bracelet Vira wore. It was exactly the same as the bracelet that sister was wearing. Should've sensitized brother a little. Vira has been silent because Aunt Goddess does not agree with your relationship. Aunt Dewi is still traumatized by Irul and Padma's sister. Should have been more keen sister sensitivity,"
"I know, Sa. But Vira still doesn't admit she's a cow."
"Who is, if he claims to keep his brother near him. There was a great war between mother and son. The one you fought for was not Vira. But Aunt Goddess. Melting stones is harder than melting ice. Because if Aunt Dewi agrees Vira would want to open her heart to sister,"
Dawa left his room. It felt like his throat was dry, palpating his hand to grab his leg stick. She faintly heard the talk of Oma and her papa. Dawa chose to sit in the living room not far from the position of the conversation.
"Deca," Oma Helena greeted her youngest son.
"Yes, Ma," Deka sipped a glass of water until it ran out.
"You haven't slept?"
"But sleep is no longer sleepy. I'm hungry Mama want me to cook instant noodles?"
"Mama full earlier Goddess of love food a lot. Mama did not expect to be one family with the Goddess. Mama used to be against the relationship of Dewi and Zaki. Because mama thinks the Goddess is just from a regular family. In the last few years, my mom found out that she was the son of a businessman,"
"Take lessons don't look at someone from the outside," Deka passed by leaving the kitchen. Not far away her feet stepped, Helena's voice held her back.
"Mama's sorry about Sekar, if only..."
"That's it, Ma. It's over. I know my mom wants the best. I've forgiven mom,"
"On Sekar going it's mama's involvement,..." Helena paused her words.
"Sekar left because mama took him to a job-seeking agency. Mama also knew that she was pregnant with your child" Deka turned her back.
"It's night, tomorrow it's our family event," Deka's tone sounded flat.
Deka went into the room and closed the door hard. Dawa tried to return to the room a small sobbing sound held back his intention of entering.
"Andu, disappointed with Oma. Because Oma Danu was born without knowing my real mother. Because Oma, Danu has to live here and there,"
"I'm sorry, Oma, Son. Oma is wrong with all of you, Oma cooperates with Irul who has a job-seeking agent. Oma not ..." Helena stopped her speech because the one being spoken to had already left her.
