CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

The Wedding Day

A girl was sitting on a large rock near the river where she used to fish. This time he did not go fishing but sat pensively in the rock.

He bent his face with support on both knees. Sounds of his crying.

"Yes Allah... What have I done? I received his proposal but my own heart could not accept any of this. I still love someone." He kept sobbing.

Someone saw it all and heard what he said. Someone was breathing. He could not bear to see his beloved brother suffer. But what can be done, the person loved by his sister does not also give him a decision.

He took a picture of his sister and sent it to someone. "I'm sorry Brother, Deck. Brother's been trying, but maybe God's other plan." Inner Lambok.

"Nindi...." Call Lambok. That person is Lambok. He was looking for his sister at home but was not found. His wife told him that Nindi must be in the river.

Lambok went to the river alone without the knowledge of his children.

Nindi. The girl who was crying on the rock was indeed Nindi. Ever since Marcel's proposal, Nindi has looked moody. He approved Marcel's proposal because he no longer wanted to upset his mother.

His age, which has stepped on 29 years, makes his mother always ask when he married.

"Sister Lambok..." Nindi wiped her tears with the back of her palm.

Lambok stroked Nindi's head. Lambok shook his head asking Nindi not to be sad. "I'm sorry Brother, Deck. Brother can't do anything for you." Lambok hugged the body of Nindi who was already standing because he saw his beloved brother was already in front of him.

Nindi crying. He spilled all his sorrow on Lambok.

"Cry as you please. Satisfy sadness. But Brother wants you to promise, after you get married, there are no more tears you shed." Said Lambok who kept stroking Nindi's back.

In two days Nindi will marry Marcel. Mother had forbidden Nindi to leave the house, but Nindi never ignored her.

"Can I take it, brother? Can I love him?" Nindi hiccups in a Lambok deck.

"God willing with time, if you are sincere, you will be able to love him." Lambok broke his embrace and wiped away Nindi's tears.

"If you continue to cry, then Brother Tia will be sad and stop this marriage. And I'll be very disappointed in you." Lambok Canda.

Nindi nodded. Nindi is comfortable with Lambok. For him Lambok is Big Brother and also Father to Nindi.

"Let's go home. I'll be worried later." Lambok Pinta.

"I want to catch a fish first Brother, I want to remove the damp in my eyes." Nindi.

"Yes already, Brother befriend ya. Brother doesn't want you to be carried away by the current, Marcel's heart can be broken later." Lambok Canda.

"Iisshh Brother... I'm a swimmer to know. Will not be carried away. Same race brother I caught a fish, if you dare." Challenge Nindi.

"Ayooooo's.. Who's afraid." Answer Lambok.

"But Nindi remembers well..." Lambok.

"What Brother?" Nindi was confused.

"You're not young anymore. Not as agile as you used to be." Lambok Temptation.

"Cathisshhh... Sok knows Brother... Let's prove it. My sister also remembered... I have three children..." Nindi passed her tongue to Lambok.

"Haha..." Lambok laughing. Lambok was happy to finally see his beloved sister laughing again.

Ten minutes before the Dzuhur Adhan, Lambok and Nindi were already at Mother's house. They brought a lot of fish in soaked clothes.

"Mom......" Tia blinked her eyes at Mom. Tia does not want Nindi to be sad because she continues to be cared for by Mom. Tia also knew Nindi abis was crying even though it was covered with swimming catching Fish.

"Dec... You take a shower there. We pray together." Pinta Tia's.

"Yes Brother." Nindi said nodding.

"Iamuang... You take a shower too. Adzan in a moment. Who will take us?" Tia smiled at her husband.

Lambok pecked Tia's cheek. Tia smiled. "Let's bring it." Said Tia who immediately brought the fish caught Nindi and Lambok.

"Want to be caught by these fish, Tia?" Ask Mom.

"Mom... I'm going to study tomorrow ahead of Nindi's wedding. Can be served to eat after study." Tia said wisely.

"Yes siih... I don't think your sister wants to be like this." Mom's still upset.

"Mom... Already well... Poor Nindi. He is trying to accept this reality. He married a man Nindi didn't love at all." Tia said softly. Tia knew very well Nindi's feelings.

"Yes Mother, understand a little Nindi, Mom. Poor of Nindi. Indeed, his age is more than enough but we should not force our will." Fitri commented.

Mother sighed. I can't talk anymore. Mother had no intention of forcing Nindi to marry but given Nindi's age of 29 years and the neighbor's gossip that always talked about Nindi who was old enough to get married but not yet married.

Adzan dzuhur. Lambok is ready for the Musholah. Soon the whole family was gathered. They also perform dzuhur prayer.

Tomorrow is his day.

The study was held after Ashar. Nindi teaches as requested by the graduate who leads the study.

Marcel's been there since morning. He wanted to attend school because he was here, so the study for Marcel was combined with the study of Nindi.

After Nindi finished her studies, Marcel continued Nindi's reading. The very solemn study was conducted.

Lambok unceasingly took videos of Nindi and Marcel. Tia, Fitri, Riris, Sister Mia, Wife of Ferries, Twins and Farah sat down for the recitation. While the men were outside the house with Marcel who was teaching continued reading Nindi.

After teaching Nindi bathed by Mother and Sister. While Marcel was bathed by Lambok and Fahmi there was also Tiar and Feri there. All the children come to attend the wedding of their youngest sister.

Tiar came to be Nindi's guardian. But Tiar gave up his responsibilities to Feri because of Feri's religious knowledge over Tiar. While Lambok and Fahmi asked Nindi to be a witness.

The bath is over. Nindi and Marcel changed clothes in their rooms.

The study show has finished. The invitations ate the dishes that were prepared.

After Maghrib, Nindi will be decorated with her palms.

During the event. Nindi continues to be moody. Nindi only smiles when Marcel steals an encounter with Nindi.

Marcel knows Nindi has not yet opened his heart to Marcel. But Marcel didn't pay attention to it. "So soon all this will be over and Nindi will live happily." Marcel muttered.
