DEW PURITY

Secrets of Secrecy

"Sir Fahmi, can we talk!" greeting Nur kindly, Fahmi turned his head towards Nur.

Fahmi chose to sit a little away from the crowd. His unexpected encounter with Dirgantara, instantly made his body stiff. Who is Nur really? Real disturbs the peace of Fahmi's soul. The real status is different and no longer the same between the two. Make distances that are not easy to pass. Fahmi felt helpless with the reality that was now in front of his eyes.

"What are you doing here? If aunt Fitri or your real father sees. All will be problems, you better join them!" fahmi said politely, while staring at Abra and Dewun.

Nur shook his head weakly, Fahmi looked down at the ground where he stood. Fahmi was feeling confused by his feelings. No more tranquility, all gone in an instant. Swallowed by a fact that no one has ever imagined in anyone's mind?

"I've asked Mama Fitri and papa Arya's permission. They let me talk, as long as they can see me!" said Nur Lirih, Fahmi silently lowered his head. It was as if Nur's words were unable to calm his heart.

"Why did you ask their permission? While there are your real parents!" said Fahmi did not understand, Nur was silent. There were many secrets stored deep in Nur's heart. The secret that Nur wanted to tell Fahmi tonight.

"Biologically they are my parents, but mentally Mama Fitri and papa Arya are my parents!"

"Don't you say that, but they are your parents? As bad as they are, never expose their disgrace!" sahut Fahmi coldly, Nur turned his head with a look of disbelief.

"That's why I came to see you, there's something I want to say about my parents. A story that might change your race for me!"

"Why do you have to tell me? I don't want to hear it!"

"Sir Fahmi, you must hear it!" nur said loudly, Fahmi stood away.

"What am I talking about? Not a disgrace, but a gaping wound that is in my heart. Nur who looks cheerful and full of laughter. Nothing more than a body full of wounds. The wound I hid from everyone, even from the Dew!"

"Then why do you want to tell me?" sahut Fahmi, looking towards Nur.

"Because Mr. Fahmi loves me and is willing to be my priest. I just want to be a makmum, for the priest who knows my wounds. So that my sacred taste will not be tarnished by my past!" nur said, looking down. Fahmi approached Nur, then sat down next to Nur.

"Tell me!" sahut Fahmi coldly, Nur sighed. His hand squeezed the tip of his hijab, then with complete calmness. Nur started saying everything that happened. A story a few years ago, the story that made him step away from his extended family.

FLASHBACKS

"Nur!" Sapa Dirgantara, Nur immediately turned his head.

He stared intently at Dirgantara who was standing just below the last rung of stairs. The quarrel between Dirgantara and Mira last night was still bright in Nur's ears. Maybe Nur has no right to interfere. But silence watching the quarrel of his parents, not the right way. She is the daughter of Dirgantara and Mira's children. The presence of Nur is able to be a rope binding both.

"Why did you call Nur?"

"Papa wants to talk to Nur. At least Nur had to hear papa's explanation. Not everything I saw was true. Sometimes there is good in it!" Dirgantara said softly, Nur nodded while walking towards the Dirgantara workspace.

"Darling, please!"

"We're talking in papa's room. I don't want anyone to hear our conversation!" Sahut Nur friendly, Dirgantara nodded while following Nur's steps. The two walked together to the Dirgantara workspace.

I opened the door slowly. The large room in the corner is the Dirgantara workspace. On the left side is the same room. The room Mira used as her study. A family with a great business partner. It is worth having a different work space.

"Nur, forgive papa. Papa Khilaf last night, I really didn't mean to hit my mom. But mom's attitude is outrageous. Without you noticing, the anger has already rubbed papa!" Dirgantara said softly, Nur lowered his head in silence.

He saw his legs swinging nonstop. Nur's nervousness was clearly marked. The pain he felt was no longer able to be contained. Nur felt as broken as he was. When not just living alone. Nur had to watch the quarrel of both his parents. Shouts and debates became commonplace in Nur's ears. One Dirgantara slap that landed perfectly on Mira's cheek. It was like a sharp dagger piercing Nur's heart. The pain was not able to stand. Until finally he decided to leave his house.

"Not to me should papa apologize, to mama the word deserves to be said. He's the one who felt papa's slap pain. The crying mother endured the pain. I'm just a worried, directionless kid!" Nur said without looking at the air.

The air breath sounds real echoing in the room. Nur squeezed the end of his robe tightly. No words can come out of her tiny lips. Dirgantara stared at the princess who was getting further away from him. Too much precious time is lost on him. His cooperation with Nur passed by. Nur's maturity was surpassed without the slightest memory.

"Darling, papa apologized. Papa apologized to my mom. But my mother was silent. Only you can make me forget about last night!" Said Dirgantara, Nuur shook his head weakly.

"If it were easy to forget, maybe I wouldn't have gone away. But in reality, forgetting last night was difficult. I can't possibly bandage your mama's wounds. When my own hand is hurt!"

"At least you can still forgive papa. One hope papa, you can understand tired papa. Lonely papa without mom. Away from you, lost a lot of time with you!"

"Time is never lost, we think it is too easy. Until we never realized the real meaning of time. I might understand papa, because the same loneliness I feel now!" Nur said softly, Dirgantara shook his head weakly. As if to apologize to Nuur. I hope you forget everything that happened.

"I'm lonely without your affection. I cry without anyone on my back? Money that always replaces you by my side. For years I complained, feeling that Allah SWT was never fair to me. But now that I'm starting to learn, my life is still much more perfect. Sometimes a child has to lose a family and have no wealth!"

"Darling, papa, please talk enough. Your words show how useless papa is. A father who forgot his responsibility to his daughter!"

"Papa, I don't deserve to judge. Papa is never wrong. But one thing I ask you. Never fight in front of me. Enough I lost your love. Don't let me get sick seeing your quarrel. Do anything when I'm not around. So that I don't hate any of you!" Nur said, then stood up to leave Dirgantara.

Nur walked towards one corner of the Dirgantara workspace. Standing staring at a photo on a small table. A picture of him with his parents. Every photo taken every year. Hope there will be memories left behind from the previous year.

"Father!"

"Look at the fake smile of our family. How many years has that smile been around? Don't papa and mama get tired of this falsehood. How long do I have to participate in this play of happiness?"

"What do you mean?" Sahut Dirgantara.

"If you are tired and your mom is tired. Why not end your relationship? Relationships that do not expect unification!" He said coldly without hesitation. The air looked at him with surprise.

Dirgantara saw the calmness on Nur's face. It was as if he was not hurt by the separation of his parents. But Nur's tears can never be seen? Including the air of his own biological father. Nur is very smart to save his grief. It was as if Nur's tears could come to a halt as he wished.

"You're not hurt!"

"My crying won't bring you together. Instead my fake smile will be there to accompany your farewell. The happiness I expected!"

"Lantas, are you happy?" Said Dirgantara softly, Nur was speechless staring at a photo of the SD period.

Nur stared at a 7-year-old girl, wearing an SD uniform. Slowly, I took the photo. Nur seemed to smile happily in the arms of his father. His mother was right next to him. Spoiled on his papa's arm. Nur gently kissed the photo he was holding. A drop of clear tears fell down his cheek.

"My happiness is beautifully framed in this photo. There's no hope I want right now. Only your happiness is what I hope for, even if it's with farewell. I can never make you happy. Maybe letting go of your farewells, can make me a dutiful princess!"

"Darling, enough you talk. Mom and Dad will never be apart!" Sahut Dirgantara, shaking his head weakly.

Dirgantara's hand was about to pull Nur's body. But suddenly stopped in midair, when he realized Nur was no longer his little girl. Moreover, Nur's attitude was getting colder to him. Making Dirgantara undo his intentions. Nur turned towards Dirgantara. A sincere smile full of meaning. Nur began to learn to sincerely release both parents.

"You won't part, but you won't merge!" Nur said, then passed without looking at Dirgantara. Nur walked with tears. Weep for the happiness that has drifted away from her life.

"I'm sorry dear papa, you've betrayed the sacred bond between papa and mama!" said Dirgantara lirih, accompanying Nur's step out of his magnificent house.

A step that no longer wants to enter the Sanjaya family. Leaving behind all luxuries to become a better person. Especially for the sake of peace of heart, so that no longer feel the pain of seeing the quarrel of his parents. Nur decided to stay away, when his friendship with his parents could no longer unite.

"What do you regret Aerospace? Didn't you realize that all this would happen. As a father, you have broken your daughter's heart. As a husband, you betrayed the bond between us. For reasons that seem far-fetched!"

"I realized my mistake, but there was no second chance for me. One chance and one apology from you!"

"If everything can be forgotten, I want to forget your betrayal. Another son born of your true love, is now a real sister of my daughter Nur. The light of love between us goes along with the passing of my daughter Nur!" said Mira, Dirgantara lowered his head feeling ashamed of his actions.

"Mira, Nur the light of love that once existed among us. The light that will illuminate our dark marriage!" Said Dirgantara while walking away from Mira.

"You're right Aergantara, Nur is indeed the light of our love that begins to die. Will Nur's light be able to make our hearts as bright as ever. Until that love comes back. Light up our marriage, so that it will no longer be dark without light. Or rather our marriage will be forever dark, along with Nur's departure!" said Mira, while staring at the back of the husband who had not considered it for a long time.

FLASH BACK OFF

"Now, Mr. Fahmi can make a decision. Don't force me to marry you, if Mr. Fahmi can't accept my past!"

"Nur!" greeting Fahmi kindly, Nur looked up at Fahmi.

"If you were nobody? No need to wait for tomorrow night I propose to you. But your social status is now the scariest thing to me. Although I believe, you are not the same as a rich lady. But the fact your family is not your ordinary family, of course they will think twice or maybe dozens of times to marry you to me!"

"Why did Mr Fahmi say that?"

"I only have affection for you, but no wealth. Love I don't have to have, but happiness has to be made!"

"That means you're rejecting my daughter's taste!" sahut Dirgantara, Fahmi immediately stood up. Nur and Fahmi are standing right in front of Dirgantara.

"Sorry Mr. Aergantara, your daughter is pure diamond and my hands are too shabby to have her!" said Fahmi lirih, Nur was silent in silence. Fahmi had already made up his mind and Nur could not force him.

"If I continue to bless your relationship, even though I know your status is not at the level of our family. But on condition, you have to work for the company and leave the company!"

"Once again thank you, Nur is too perfect for this weak body. There's nothing I can give to Nur. About the terms of Mr. Dirgantara, sorry I can not accept it. As a priest, I just want to support my wife with my efforts. What little money do I make? As long as it is pure from my sweat, God willing I am happy. Because as a man I try to get to the lowest point!"

"You back off from this proposal!"

"Nur, you deserve a man far more established than me!" said Fahmi, then leave Dirgantara. Fahmi reached out, kissing the back of the Aerospace's hand. Fahmi chose to stay away from the unequal story.

"Maybe I was born into a rich family, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with luxury. I'm the only daughter of the Sanjaya family, but I'm nothing more than a woman who will become a master. Is someone's happiness not judged by the rich or poor of our partner? But how much the man appreciates my strengths and weaknesses. I'm honestly disappointed to hear your decision, but I'm proud to have known you. For you are the only one who thinks of my happiness before yours!" nur said loudly, Fahmi turned to look at Nur.

"If I were born rich, maybe I'd ask you tonight. But I love the simple Nur and I am happy with my life right now. Love you!"

"Real men!" dirgantara said firmly.
