Complex Child Love

CHAPTER 15 - Unexpected Marriage

***

"Son, wake ..." Call Mother Larasati to her only child whom she loves very much. A 10-year-old boy named Cefixime Xaviera Salim.

Those shady eyes looked at his sleeping son on his lap. He also rubbed the cheeks of his son who was sleeping soundly while smiling.

Shortly after, her husband arrived. She smiled at her husband. She hinted to her husband that his son had not woken up yet when they had already left for a faraway place.

"Darling ... Wake yuk? We have to psrgi." This time it was Mr. Wijaja who woke up his son. Although not heart but he still woke his son.

Cefi finally woke up and the first sight he saw was the faces of his parents. Cefi smiled happily to find his parents there. He woke up, "Where are we going, Ma? Pa?" Cephi asked both of her parents.

"We're going for a walk, honey." Said his mother and father Cefi.

"Asheikk! Mom and Dad are really the best." Cefi said chuckling.

Cefi hugged both of her parents and also kissed her parents' cheeks, "I love Mama and Papa very much." Said Cefi who immediately shed her tears.

"Yes, Honey. We love you too. Yuk?" Said Ibu Larasati.

Cefi and his parents stood up. They were about to head to a very bright and dazzling road. Cefi even had to squint her eyes so bright.

"Xaviera!" Excited someone who suddenly pulled Cefi's clothes from behind.

Cefi looked back, Baron's hair looked very messy, "Why?" Ask Cefi.

"You promised to play with me. You can't break a promise. Come on, play." Said Baron.

"Why are you Baron? I want to play with my parents." Cefi.

"Cannot. You play here just like me." Said Baron pulling Cefi's hand.

"I don't want to!" Cefi.

"Om, Auntie, justin Xaviera here is the same as me? Please ..." Said Baron.

"Mas, you better be here first. Let me go first." Her mother Cefi told her husband.

"All right wait for me. I'll catch up soon." Mr. Wijaja said while kissing his wife's forehead.

Larasati's mother approached her son and kissed Cefi's right and left cheeks, his favorite daughter, "Honey. Mama go first huh?" Said Ibu Larasati.

"Don't go Mama. I'm going with mama." Cefi.

However, the shadow of his mother wrapped in a white robe with a white veil began to move away. Cefi's getting hysterical, "Mamaaa!"

"Yamaa!" Cefi Seru.

"Are you awake, son?" Ask Anes' mother.

Cefi circulated his gaze in all directions. There was already Mother Anes and also some of her neighbors who were waiting for her to come to her senses. It's been over 5 hours since Cefi fainted. In fact, normally fainting is only a few minutes a minute or up to half an hour.

It looks like Cefi's health condition affected the duration of Cefi's fainting.

"Tante, I dreamt my mama would leave me, Auntie. Where's Mama?" Ask Cefi while crying. His body feels very weak. Instantly the shadow of the news about the crashed plane filled his brain. Cefi came back crying.

Anes' mother cried, but even so she still wanted to show that she was strong, so she took a drink for Cefi, "Drink first, son. Drink first." Mother Anes said.

Cefi then looked at Mother Anes again, Cefi's tears just fell. All the mothers in the room were crying. It made Cefi even more frightened. "Why? Why are you all crying? Why?" Ask Cefi.

"Take care of your mama, son. Irrelatation. Your mama was a very nice person." Said Anes' mother who immediately hugged Cefi.

"What do you mean, Auntie?" Ask Cefi.

"Baron, Om Pradana, and Pak Ustaz Proudly are already on site. They found your mother and ..." Anes' mother could no longer hold back her tears, "Your mother is no more. God loves your mother more, son." Mother Anes said.

Cefi's tears continued to harden, "Innalilahi wa innailaihi raajin. Mamaa!" Cephi is hysterical.

Everyone tried to strengthen Cefi but somehow Cefi felt her chest tight. Her tears continued to harden, she kept hysterically calling her mother.

Anes' mother hugged Cefi. It was heartless to see the state of Cefi that looked very messy. Those pale lips look shaky. Her eyes were red from crying too much. And the stuffing keeps coming out. "Patience to you, son. Auntie knows you're a strong boy. Let your mama do it, son. Ikhlaskan." Mother Anes said.

"Papa? How's Papa, Auntie?" Ask Cefi. Cefi really hopes that his father is still alive.

Not even answering, Anes' mother's phone rang. The nearest neighbor from the phone took the phone and gave it to Mother Anes.

"Hello, Assalamualaikum, Son. Yes, Xaviera is awake. What? ..." Anes' mother was silent for a moment.

"Son, a minute?" Mother Anes said. Cefi nodded his head just like that.

Cefi began to guess who called Anes' mother and guess what happened. She's still crying. His life seemed to be spinning drastically.

Shortly after, Anes' mother came into the room. There were only two other mothers there besides Anes. These mothers are complex mothers.

"Son, Baron wants to talk." Said Anes' mother while giving her cell phone to Cefi.

Cefi was surprised and immediately received the phone. He was very hopeful about the phone. His mother no longer exists. However, he still had his father's hopes.

"Hello, Ron. Papa ... Papa ... I've met you, haven't I?" Cefi asked while biting her lips.

"Alhamdulillah, Om Wijaja have met, Vier." Said Baron. But his words are so hanging.

"Where is lo? I'm going straight there now. I'd like to see your mom with papa. ..." Said Cefi who kept talking."

"Vier, horrify me" said Baron trimmed Cefi's remarks.

Cefi fell silent and heard Baron sighing across there.

The deg!

Cefi's heart thumped at the question. He also felt confused this was not the right time to joke, "Lo don't joke, Ron. This isn't funny. Lo where is it?"

"I'm not kidding anymore, Cef. Complicated situation. This is bokap lo's request. Probably the last request. I will not make. I just don't want to have money." Said Baron.

The tears flowed again. He really didn't know why this all had to happen to him. Marrying. How did she get married in such a difficult situation? However, Baron said that he was not joking. There was no joking tone in the Baron's voice.

Cefi also realized that the Baron hated him, if he did not insist he would not approve his father's request.

The shadow of how his father and mother who looked so fond of Baron flashed through his mind. Her tears continued to harden, Is this the right choice?

The baron breathed. He already thought that Cefi would not approve the request. At least he tried. The decision is all in the hands of Cefi. After all, the two of them had no relationship whatsoever.

"OK if you don't want to be afraid. I'll say the same ..." Hcap Barons.

"You." concluded Cefi.

Just be quiet for a moment there. Both Baron and Cefi were silent. Their heads are full of many things.

Cefi closed his eyes, already a lot of himself disappointing his parents. The request to marry a Baron should not be difficult. But still ...

"If that's my parents' request. Please follow, Bar. I beg you." Cefi said while crying.

Cefi looked at Mother Anes. Anes' mother nodded her head. Cefi wiped her tears.

"Lo, what's the dowry?" Ask Baron.

"What are you sincere about." Cefi.

"okay." Answer Baron.

Cefi wiped his tears, he had to talk to his father. He wants to know the condition of his father who until the end of his death still thinks about the happiness of his son. Cefi knows exactly that.

As a child, Cefi wanted to give a small gift to her parents. If the marriage can make both parents calm and happy he is very willing to do it, even though what storm will come to him in the future.

"But I want to talk to you first. Videocall, please." Ask Cefi.

"Bokap lo's physical state ... Lo, strong?" Ask Baron.

"God willing." Cefi.

The phone call was changed to videocall. Cefi closed his mouth to see how his father was doing.

"Mr ..." Call Cefi.

Baron pointed his cell phone camera at his father Cefi's bruised, bloody, and pathetic face.

"Papa, I'm sorry Papa. I love papa. Papa has to go home." Cefi.

His father Cefi nodded his head. This time Cefi's decision was very unanimous, he would fulfill his father's request, "Why do you want me to marry a Baron?" Ask Cefi.

His father Cefi nodded his head. Cefi wiped his tears, "OK, Papa."

Cefi bit her lip.

Baron's cell phone is in Pak Pradana's hands. He let Cefi see his marriage contract. And his wife too.

Ustaz Proudly reached out, "Are you ready?"

The Baron's heart rumbled violently yet he still nodded his head.

Baron shook the hand of Proud Ustaz with trembling.

"Baron Xavier's brother Halim Bin Pradana Halim I marry and marry you to Sister Cefixime Xaviera Salim Binti Wijaja Halim with a dowry of a set of instruments of prayer paid in cash." Ustaz Proudly represents Cefi's father marrying Cefi to Baron.

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Cefixime's Sister Xaviera Salim Binti Wijaja Halim with the dowry of a set of prayer tools paid in cash." Said the Baron in a trembling voice.

"How's the witness, Sah?"

"Well!"

After praying. Baron approached his father and hugged his father. Mr. Pradana asked his son to approach his father-in-law, Mr. Wijaja who had shed tears of happiness.

The baron approached his father-in-law and kissed his father-in-law's hand.

"Ja-ga my son." He said, his voice was very small using only lip signals.

Baron nodded his head, "Okay, Om. I'll take care of him."

The grip of his father's hand Cefi or Pak Wijaja increasingly tight on the Baron.

"Baron's son." Ustaz Proudly gestured to the Baron to help Mr. Wijaja.

Baron who was very close to Mr. Wijaja also tried to menalqinkan father-in-law.

Mentalqin is to lead someone who is about to die to say the word shahadah (La Ilaaha Illallah).

"La Ilaaha Illallah ..."

"L-la Ilaaha-Illallah ..."

Her father Cefi's grasp was released. The doctor who was there tried to check on his father Cefi's condition.

"Innalilahi wa innailaihi raajiun."
