Bloody Bond

Chapter 5

Now Syafa is halfway between Dunka and Fahri. Droplets of water the rest of the bath mixed with sweat made that handsome face even more shining. Cool and dashing. Dunka rubbed the corner of his lips. Saw there was a thick red liquid with a distinctive smell of blood.

Fahri just bruised blue bruises on the cheek was not as bad as Dunka's wound.

"Didn't sister remember who she was? He's Dunka, Brother!" Waiting for how Fahri reacts. May it change friendly. "Our friends as children. Who left ten years ago to wander while studying in the city."

"Then..since he's Dunka, he can be as nice as if it happened to you?" Syafa immediately did not dwell again in his mind justifying the actions of Fahri even regretted for not being able to take care of himself. But that's not what Syafa wants. Everything can be discussed without violence.

Pity for Dunka also made the girl dare to reprimand her brother.

"Sister! But it's not true if it's so rude."

Fahri shifted his body until he looked directly at Dunka as the man nodded as if confirming Syafa's words. "How dare you?"

"Sorry! But I came here with good intentions. I didn't mean to do anything bad to Syafa. I really wholeheartedly came here to propose to Syafa." Fahri searches for a speck of lies hidden behind Dunka's serious face. Unfortunately, Fahri did not find. But his feelings are not blessed if Syafa is edited by the man before him. Or maybe because Fahri found Dunka at the wrong time, causing negative prejudice.

"He won't marry you." Firmly Fahri ruffled waist. Getting stylish with disheveled hair. Why is his charm getting stronger.

"should."

"Not going to."

A fierce gaze began to provoke.

"Dunka!"

"Me, Mother!" Fortunately, Zainab came calling. It was peaceful as if nothing had happened.

"You people! Looks like there's a childhood reunion." Yeah." Goda Sibu stared at Fahri and Dunka's faces in turn.

'May Sibu be unsuspecting.' inner Syafa.

"Yes! We even reminisce about our fights in childhood." Dunka's looking for attention. Syafa was worried if the quarrel continued.

Fahri rubbed his nose provoking.

"How's Dunka, you still want to stay or come home with me?" In other words that actually Zaenab took home .

Fahri moved his lips and eyes as if to shoo away.

"Alright, Mom! We're home."

 

Dunka's hand took something in his pants pocket. Handing over the white paper piece to Syafa very beautifully.  That is when through his hand gently pull the palm of Syafa then stick the paper there.

"More times, take care of your behavior!" Lirih Fahri confronts Dunka. Fahri takes the paper from Syafa's hand and returns it to Dunka.

"Don't litter me, man!"

"Yes!" Dunka nodded after a few seconds. "Candidate Sister-in-law!" Fahri clenched his hands tightly. Dunka passed by while smiling cynically.

'I really want to skin that little man. How dare he.' Inner Fahri.

"Bavaria ... Change ba...!" Not done yet Sibu spoke, Fahri has waltzed away. It's not usually Fahri to act so brash. He was always gentle and polite to older family members.

"He's angry, Sibu!" Syafa gave an explanation when the sibu asked through eye signals.

"Your squad?"

"You're still like a child" murmured Sibu. His attention was distracted by the sound from Fahri's room

Fahri throws a blanket rough to hit the door. Just as a pair of legs stepped in.

"Don't vent your anger on innocent things." The room that was usually neat, was now a mess like a broken ship.

"Is Sibu planning to match them up?" Of course Sibu understood that they meant Syafa and Dunka.

"No! But Ms. Zaenab did convey her intention to propose to Syafa."

"Mom accepted?" Fahri greeted his mother's presence with questions. From the way he asked clearly showed disapproval even though he was said with courtesy.

"If what kind of soul mate can you make?" A smile rose on the lips of the middle-aged woman who remained in shape even though her entire hair had turned white. His hand folded the blanket that Fahri had thrown. It turns out that there are many other things scattered. Sibu scanned every corner of her son's room with a heavy breath.

"Stupid?" Sibu nodded enthusiastically. "Mom! Shafa still needs to learn a lot. He'd be better off continuing his education than getting married."

"Fame...Shafa will also learn after marriage! Dunka guarantees Syafa's education in the city later." Fahri was even more surprised. His feelings are getting upset. How could his mother have made such a quick decision. Even without considering his opinion. Has the status as the head of the family moved back to Sibu?

"can't. Shafa will stay with us."

"Mary..."

"Sibu, Fahri and Syafa cannot be far apart. Sibu understands that, doesn't she?"

Sibu nodded weakly. His two children were separated due to a disaster. They were on their way home from Kalimantan. Riding a ship to return to Java. Extreme natural factors caused the ship to sink by a huge storm. Some people are carried away by the flow including Fahri. Luckily, Sibu and Syafa are safe.

Syafa was sick for days and even nearly three months. Shafa misses Fahri. To the extent that they are reluctant to eat even hard to sleep. Make the body's power weakens and easily hurt.

The critical state of Syafa was rushed to the hospital. All kinds of drugs are useless. Expert doctors are also available. Not one bit can cure the pain that Syafa suffered. Every time he keeps on delirious calling Fahri's name.

Until one day there came news that said that Fahri was still alive. The father immediately picked up his son. Fahri was rescued by a fisherman.  Syafa who originally did not have the passion of life also gradually recovered.

"Sibu.Sibu should just refuse Dunka's proposal."

Sibu was silent but his gaze seemed probing.

"Mom, Dunka has just come to this village after all these years. While in town, we never knew what he was doing. Good is bad we don't know. Every time we hear him come home at the end of the year he doesn't even visit us. Then what about all of a sudden he came to propose to Syafa? Doesn't Sibu suspect anything?"

Sibu. Fahri's statement is true. But in order to cover up a big secret he must make excuses for his goal to be achieved.

"Son, Zaenab was a friend of Sibu for a long time. He's told a lot about Dunka."

"Stories only!" Fahri smiled cynically. A mother will certainly cover more of her child's ugliness."

"Margio ...! What if Syafa wants a betrothed for Nak Dunka?"

"Just refuse."

"Fameer!"

"Just refuse." Fahri passed by without looking at his mother.

'If you knew, Son' Inner Sibu
