The next morning at the Sardine residence.
Alimin and Nesa wake up from sleep feeling uninspired. On their chests felt a loud thump that they felt.
The blow was not intermittent when it happened, it was just that the blow often came hitting their chest. After the jolt stopped, their feelings became unsettled. The body also feels sluggish.
They had been wearing uniform, Nesa looked beautiful in the current kebaya shirt, and Alimin looked handsome in a black suit.
They sat on the couch, the living room waiting for Sardin and Geo.
.. ..
In Sardin's room.
Sardin and Geo looked handsome while wearing a white shirt wrapped in a black suit.
Geo saw Sardin seem to sigh constantly. ”Why? Your chest is claustrophobic again? Your head hurts again?” he was worried to see Sardin's current condition.
The man's face still looked pale, even more pale than before, even though it had been covered by powder makeup. His body also felt more weak. Even to stand alone, you have to help.
”No, I'm fine.” Sardin's voice has sounded slow and vibrating.
”What shirt are you wearing this is too heavy?”
Sardin.
”Then you take your medicine first, then we get out of the room. Your parents must have been waiting for us to come out.”
Sardin.
Geo took Sardine from a drawer. He also took drinking water and helped Sardin take his medicine.
After taking the medicine, they left the room. Geo continued to hold Sardin's body. If he had taken it off, Sardin's body would have fallen on the floor.
Nesa and Alimin were sad when they saw their son. Nesa was unable to hold back her tears, she stood up and ran back to the room.
”Geo..carry Sardin first to the car. Om, will go see aunty for a while.” her voice Alimin was heard shaking withstanding crying.
”Pa, tell Mama, don't delay my time. His iron family must have been waiting for us to come.” said Sardin with a tremble.
Alimin nodded with teary eyes. He went to his room, saw his wife.
”We wait for your parents in the car only.” said Geo slowly to Sardin.
Sardin.
Geo gets Sardin to the car and helps Sardin get into the car.
In Alimin's room.
”Pa....Mama won't go...Mom's home, Pa. Hu...hu...hu....!” Nesa was crying in her husband's arms.
”Mah..don't say that. He's our only child. Isn't it our dream to see our children get married? Today is our son's wedding day. We have to go see it and approve it.” persuade Alimin.
”Mama is not strong, Pa! Hu...hu.hatinya Mama and Mama feeling bad, Pa.”
”Sststt! We rely on the Power. Don't expect things that haven't happened yet.” Alimin lifted his wife's face, wiping away the tears that ran down his cheeks.
”Don't cry! Your clothes will wear off later. Remember, to always smile. Don't put your sad face in front of your besan and our bride. Today is the happy day of our son.”
Nesa nodded. Even so, tears still escaped on her cheeks.
” Let's go out. Your son says, don't delay the time. And do not make the family besan wait long.”
Nesa nodded back. She wiped her tears and came out of the room with her husband.
They've reached the car. They got in the car.
Nesa looked at Sardin who was closing his eyes, his breathing looking weak as he took a breath. He turned his face forward. Her tears came back.
Alimin who was sitting next to her wiped Nesa's tears with a tissue. Nesa looked at Alimin, Alimin shook his head.
”There is still someone waiting for you again, Mister?” ask the driver.
”Nothing, run the car.” replied Geo.
”Good, Master!” sahut the driver. He started running his car.
They went to Sarmi's house using a slightly large Geo car, which fit eight people.
Geo looked at Sardin who kept his eyes closed. He sighed.
Hopefully, everything goes well and Sardin quickly we bring to China.
I have all prepared. We'll be there by helicopter. Coincidentally next to Johan's house there is a fairly large empty land, can put one helicopter.
I also invited Rivaldi to be on guard in case anything happens to Sardin, while on the way. Because the drugs that Sardin consumes to withstand pain have been exhausted, Geo's mind.
”Are we there?” ask Sardin.
”Not yet, just rest if you want to rest. I'll wake you up after we get to it later.” replied Geo.
”My hands feel heavy. I can't rest if I lean like this. I want to lie down.”
”Lay down, wear my thighs to your pillow.” Geo says.
Sardin.
Geo helped Sardin to lie down. While Alimin and Nesa look moody and sad. Their eyes are still glazed.
On the other hand, they thank Geo, because he, who is not a family but earned Sardin's trust to take care of her. Sardin, being spoiled for Geo, like Geo was his own biological brother.
Sardin's eyes were closed, but who knew what he was thinking? He is sad.. His eyes were closed but, the shadow of Syakila's face danced in his eyes.
.. ..
The Sarmi residence.
”What's my necklace done on the connect, Hardin?” ask Syakila.
”Not yet, still trying. After all, sister made how, until this necklace can fall and come apart like this?”
”Kakak doesn't know either. After taking a shower, the necklace suddenly fell. And fitting brother see, his connection is broken.” Syakila explained.
”Oh...this is not only his broken connection, but, the necklace chain is also broken this. It's a little hard to connect, the chain's too smooth, and I need a smooth tool to connect it too. Because there is no tool, so, use this only.”
”Iya, huh? Brother didn't pay much attention to him earlier. The pokonya must be quick to make, before Sardin's brother comes. That necklace and this ring, will be a dowry dowry sister.”
”Hah! Is that true? Brother didn't ask tens of millions of that for dowry? Kan brother-in-law of the rich.”
”The necklace and ring have an interesting story in our love story. The necklace and the ring that became the binders of our relationship from small. And of course, I want this necklace and ring that will always be the binder of our relationship until forever.”
”Syakila, ready, Nak?” ask Sarmi.
”Already, Mah.”
”Loh, the necklace has not been so also from earlier?” sarmi asked Hardin, who was still busy fixing the necklace.
”Stay a little more will be finished.” replied Hardin. He put a small hook in one chain to the other end of the chain. Then, he clamped her down slightly pressing it to be related. Then, Hardin inserted the connection. He smiled as he lifted the necklace, revealing it to his sister and mother. ”Nih, done.”
”Wah...my sister is very clever!” praise Syakila. Syakila put the necklace and ring into a small, clear love-shaped box.
”Sister, Mama, groom is here!” ita shouted from the lips of Syakila's room door.
”Alhamdulillah, Syakila..sit sweetly there. You will come out for a while if pak Penghulu has asked you.” Sarmi said.
”Iya, Mah.” says Syakila. He was sitting quietly on his bed. A happy smile is always being made.
Sarmi exits Syakila's room with Hardin to the living room.
In the family room.
Nesa and Alimin enter the family room. Behind him were Sardin and Geo.
The Syakila family welcomed their arrival happily and smiled. However, their smiles faded when they saw and noticed Sardin's condition well. Nesa and Alimin bow as Sarmi and Johan see her.
What's the matter? Is sardine unhealthy? Since when? Last met when Sardin, Syakila, and Geo came from town A, and Sardin looked fine.
”The groom, sit here well, in front of me.” said pak penghulu.
Geo helped Sardin to sit in front of the pengulu pack. Pak Penghulu is not surprised anymore to see the condition of Sardin. Because he already knows.
”His bride, please call.” pak penghulu's word.
Fatma went to Shakila's room and called Syakila. Fatma sat Syakila to the left of Sardin.
”Masya Allah, our bride today is very beautiful and handsome.” praise pak penghulu.
Geo himself his heart was pounding, his heartbeat was beating very fast. Syakila looks beautiful using her own wedding dress.
”Both brides have been here. Both parents of the bride and groom are also there, is there anyone waiting again?” ask pak penghulu.
”No Sir!” the one in the family room answered.
”Alright, then we immediately start the show.” pak penghulu said it istighfar three times and praised the oneness of God.
”Groom, give me your hand.”
Geo swiftly raised Sardin's right hand and gave it to the pak pengupulu.
”Brother Sardin bin Alimin, I married and I trust you with our son named Syakila bint Halim, with a dowry after a promise, paid in cash.”
Syakila's forehead shriveled at the words of pak Penghulu. Isn't her dowry a necklace and ring on the table? Why pak penghulu says ”Seuntai promise” Promise? What promise?
Not only Syakila, Geo who was behind Sardin was also shocked. As well as the parents of Sardin and Syakila, they were shocked. Everyone present there was also shocked.
”I received the contract and marriage of Syakila bint Halim with the dowry, cash.” even though it sounded soft and vibrating sound, also difficult breath. Sardin managed to say the ijab and kabul smoothly.
”How's witness? Valid?”
Hearing the sound and the way Sardin's breath made the entire room speechless. Nesa and Alimin kept their heads down, holding back tears.
”Sah.”
”Now, what promise is that my brother Sardin? Say it, so that it is known and pronounced by your wife.”
Geo turned Sardin's body to face Syakila. Sardin's eyes glazed over at the woman before him.
The woman who has now become his wife. The woman he loved from childhood until now.
Sardin could see the sad and confused look on Syakila's face. Sardin smiled. ”Syakila, you are so beautiful. I'm so lucky to have you all along. Ukhuk...ukhuk...!”.
Geo gave Sardin a tissue. Sardin took and cleaned his hands and mouth.
Syakila could clearly see the red color in the tissue. He looked at Sardin in surprise. ”Ka..kakak..”.
”Ssttss! Syakila promise you will obey and repeat my words and sayings.”
Syakila.
”Listen...I only said it once.”
Syakila nodded back.
”I promise, I will. get married.
”I promise, I will.. me...” Syakila did not continue her words, she looked at Sardin. ”What is this sister?” she's upset.
”Brother Syakila, this is your dowry. Take your dowry without any protest.” said the judge.
Syakila's heart became angry, she wanted to protest but could not it was her dowry. She cried.
”Sa...i promise, sa...I will marry” Syakila recited her sentence, with tears in her eyes and down.
”With...Geovani Albert..after.in divorced by.suamiku.”.
”De..with..hu... Ge's....Ge...” Syakila closed her lips. ”...Ge's...Geo...Vani's...Al...bert hu..hu... se..after...” Syakila looked up at Sardin. She shook her head.”.In..di.ce...hu...hu...divorce..o..by.su...su....su....suamiku...hu......hu...why kak?”
Geo himself was shocked and speechless to hear Sardin's promise. He looked at Sardin.
Nesa and Alimin who had been holding back crying since the trip home Sarmi also cried.
Everyone who was there was crying. And pak penghulu himself his eyes glazed over.
”Ukhuk....ukhuk...!” Sardine coughs again.
”Ka..kakak.” Syakila's worried.
”Bo..can ka..kak kiss your forehead, my wife?” ask Sardin.
Syakila. He brought his face closer to Sardin. Sardin touched Syakila's face and kissed her forehead.
Syakila held the hand of Sardin who felt weak and trembling as it touched her face. Kissing Sardin's hand.
”Syakila, sister has fulfilled our promise to get married right?”
Syakila.
Sardin felt increasingly claustrophobic to catch his breath. His body is getting weaker.
”Syakila.start today...this second...
Shakila's forehead shriveled at Sardin. The look on her face changed as her mind was parked, divorce said. ”No, no brother....Syakila won't listen to hu...Syakila don't want..” Syakila.
Sardin held Syakila's hand.
Syakila sat down again in front of Sardin, helpless. ”I hate you feet...I hate.” he hit Sardin's chest.
”Ukhuk...Syakila...Syakila bint Halim.from this second on..you are not my wife anymore.”.
”Hu..hu...what marriage did you give Kila ..hu....hu...hu.
”Ma...sorry...sister, Kila. Ka..kakak..can't take care of you anymore. Before sister left..married with Geo.sister wants to see and watch it..”.
Geo saw Syakila.
”Ki...Kila..realize the desire of brother..sister wants to go quietly..”.
”Geo...pronounce ijab kabul mu.” Sardin's word.
Geo still sees Syakila...Would the woman in front of him agree?
Syakila's still down.
”Ge..Geo..”
Geo swallowed his saliva violently. He shook hands with the pengu.
”Geovani brother Albert bin Albert I married and married you with our son, Syakila bint Halim with a dowry a pendant and ring, paid in cash.”
”I received the marriage and marriage of Syakila bint Halim with the dowry paid in cash.” Geo recited it quickly in one breath.
”How's witness? Valid?”
”Sah!” say everything in that room.
”Nak, put your dowry on your wife. Then, sign in your marriage book.” said pak penghulu.
Geo took the necklace and ring from the love-shaped clear box and put it on Syakila. Then he kissed Syakila.
”Signature.” pak pengulu open the marriage book.
Geo and Syakila were both surprised to see the marriage book.. In the marriage book it is written his name and Geo's name, along with his photo.
Geo signed it, as did Syakila.
”Al...Al..ham..du..lillah...” Sardin breathed his last breath after saying his hamdalah.
”Ti..dak.. brother.” Syakila hugged Sardin's body. ”Sister, wake up brother. Come wake up. Brother has promised me to go for treatment. I have fulfilled my brother's promise. Now it's sister's turn to fulfill the promise...wake up sister....wake up...!”.
Nesa's tears are breaking down, and so is Alimin. Everyone in the room mourned the death of Sardin bin Alimin.
