"I'm sorry I'm late" Gibran said as he lowered his body cross-legged on the carpet floor of a famous mosque in Jakarta. He turned his head and smiled at Sabina who was sitting not far from him with Athalla in her lap. His son is now 2 years old with a face look like himself but his mother's white skin.
Today he will witness the wedding of his friend Andre. Like a dejavu, he was once going to do the same thing but his friend chose to run away with the woman who was his lover at that time
It happened 3 years ago, there was no anger let alone a sense of vengeance in him because instead Gibran had found a true soulmate.
So did Sabina, she did not feel hurt or angry to see her former lover who has now been preparing to do kabul ijab with the woman he loves. Like Gibran, Sabina found the best man God had given her.
For Sabina her heart and mind had been filled by a Gibran Fahreza. The man who had made her fall in love so much that she wanted no man but her husband.
Andre turned his head and smiled at Sabina who was sitting by holding her son.
"Focus, Dre. Focus !" whispered Gibran who felt dislike if Andre smiled at his wife.
"Elah, possessive really be a man" said Andre annoyed. Though he had accepted the fact that Sabina was not his match.
"Inget struggle 2 years lo dapetin Alya" said Gibran reminded.
Yep...
It took 2 years for Andre to be able to unite with Alya. After the dinner that time it turned out that everything did not go as Andre wanted.
The mother and one of her sisters did not approve of the relationship he and Alya because it was considered to drop the good name of the Tama family. Until Alya who actually received Andre's proposal resigned and disappeared with her son.
The frustrated Andre again fell ill until Gibran was also the one who helped him to recover. Seeing their son back in pain finally the Andre family came to their senses and agreed to his relationship with Alya even helped to find the whereabouts of the woman.
Lucky for Andre because Alya still feels the same way until they decided to tie love in a marriage.
Andre makes a big decision to make his life calmer: leaving his family's Tama company, he will restart things from scratch with Alya and Raka.
Andre realized God was still punishing him for all the bad deeds he had done in the past until he had to lose everything, he had to lose everything, but even so God still gives his mercy by sending Alya as his life friend.
"I accept the marriage and marriage of Alya Fahrani bint Dedy Mulyana with a dowry a set of prayer tools paid in cash." Andre said clearly and firmly.
"How's witness?"
"Well," replied Gibran and the other witnesses without hesitation.
Now an Andreas Tama has officially become the husband of Alya with all the hard work and sacrifices he made.
"Congratulations, may you be happy" Sabina said as she greeted the two brides.
A very simple marriage for someone who came from the Tama family, not as luxurious as when Andre would marry Sabina first.
The two Andre parents present there looked at Sabina with uncertain feelings. Sabina should be their daughter-in-law.
Realizing that Sabina was the center of attention, Gibran immediately pulled her waist close to him, showing all that Sabina was his and Sabina was doing the same. He showed everyone that he belonged to Gibran.
"When did you guys go ?" ask Alya.
"3 more days." answered Sabina.
3 Days later, Sabina will fly to Korea to perform a series of surgeries aimed at healing her legs.
"How long is it planned there ?" ask Alya again.
"About a year, with therapy and so on." now Gibran's answering.
"May all go well and you recover quickly." Andre said a sincere prayer for the woman who used to be his lover.
"Thank you." said Sabina, smiling at the couple.
***
The next day Andre and Alya also Raka came to a place with 2 bouquets of flowers they brought.
"Papa comes, Lili and introduce this to your sister Raka" said Andre as he stared at the tombstone bearing the name 'Liliana Andreas'. He gave the name according to the advice of Alya. There was no Tama's name there because Andre's family still couldn't accept it.
"Maybe in the future Papa can not visit you often because we will move cities, but your name will always be present in Papa's prayer" said Andre again while putting the wreath on the grave of his son.
Andre looked at Amanda's grave and offered prayers for the woman who had filled his life, then before they left Alya placed another bouquet of flowers on top of Amanda's grave.
The three walked out of the cemetery after saying goodbye. Andre decides to start a new life in a new city where no one knows about his dark past.
***
Gibran and Sabina were fixing many of the suitcases they were going to bring to Korea. Gibran will accompany his wife to stay there during the treatment process.
Gibran applied for a sabbatical at the hospital that is now his. He has also provided a replacement doctor at his former clinic.
"Of course, you're in good health here, too" Gibran replied, hugging his mother warmly.
"You don't worry, your mother will be fine. We will take care of him with all our heart." Sabina's father said solemnly.
"Thank you Dad" Gibran shed his tears as he said that.
His family treated him and his mother very well. As long as Gibran goes to accompany his wife, the mother will be guarded by several servants provided by Sabina's father.
"Dad will also take your mother to Korea if she visits later" Sabina's father said again and Gibran smiled with relief at her.
"Don't think of anything, I'll leave Sabina to you." Sabina's father's eyes condensed as he said that.
Condensing with a sense of happiness, his heart felt relieved because his favorite daughter was now in the hands of the right man. A man who has the same love as himself.
"I will take care of Sabina with all my body and soul. I don't have to worry." Gibran replied without hesitation.
***
"Welcome to Incheon International Airport."
Sabina and Gibran as well Athalla have just landed at the Korean international airport. Followed by some of Sabina's father's confidants who will help provide all the needs of his daughter there.
Sabina took a deep breath as she stepped down the plane. In his head was still imagined the faces of people who loved him, who had delivered his departure. The entire nuclear family and her mother-in-law delivered Sabina lovingly.
This is the biggest decision of Sabina's life. He will face something that he is really very afraid of.
Sabina stopped her steps when she had just exited the plane perfectly. His feet felt heavy and stiff instantly.
Gibran who was holding Athalla immediately approached Sabina and grabbed her hand in his hand.
"You can, honey. You are stronger and braver than you think." Gibran said, looking into Sabina's eyes full of love. He knew his wife was scared.
Sabina returned Gibran's gaze with equal love and returned Gibran's hand.
"And you are the source of my strength." Sabina said without hesitation.
"Let's make our dreams come true, Mama Rabbit !! We will age together in the love and laughter of our children." Gibran said excitedly.
"Yes, let's make our dreams and love come true, Papa Rabbit !" Sabina said and started to step her legs back without hesitation.
Gibran followed Sabina's steps without separating their finger links.
The love that Sabina and Gibran have is so great that it becomes a source of strength for both.
It is with love that both can go through everything in their married life.
No one would have thought if they were united from a wound and ended up in a tempestuous love.
Behind a painful ordeal God has prepared his best gift. Do not give up on those who are sick with love.
