DEW PURITY

A Stormy Morning

"Darling!"

"What's up, brother?" Dew Sahut, Abra put the spoon and fork right on the plate. The dew turned towards Abra, as if something was stuck in Abra's mind.

"Do you know Nur's identity?" abra said coldly, Dew was silent. The silence that made Abra feel that Dewun knew everything.

Abra propped up his chin with both hands. Dew takes a glass of water, then sips it. Dew finished his breakfast. From the beginning the question of Nur was thrown from the lips of Abra. Since then the Dewun has been feeling restless. To be honest there is nothing wrong with the truth of Nur's identity. But all seems wrong, when the identity of Dewun is associated with the love story of Ibra's younger brother Abra.

"Why silence? So all this time you knew all the truth and you hid it from me!" abra said coldly, Dew turned to look at Abra. Abra's apparent coldness holds a doubt about Dew's sincerity.

"Give me one reason? The reason that made me have to tell the truth Nur!"

"What do you mean?" abra said with a frown. Dew smiled wryly, as if Abra's question sounded so funny.

"Sorry before, Brother Abra, I don't want to fight you. But the cold attitude and way of talking brother, when asked about Nur's true identity. As if accusing me of wrongdoing, even I felt that my brother was angry with my silence all along!"

"I'm not angry, but I'm disappointed with your silence. I look stupid, when I realize you're hiding a fact this big. Even you remain silent, even though Nur's identity is revealed. Not once do you explain and think I deserve to know. Honestly, honey, I feel like you're deliberately covering this up for a reason!" abra said, Dewun immediately looked at Abra's plaque.

"Reason!" embun said affirming, Abra nodded slowly. Clearly the look on Abra's face showed disappointment. Either because Dew hides the facts about Nur? Or the silent Dew that has put his family to shame?

"What does sister want to say? There is no need to cover anything, sister's attitude implies everything. Now tell me your opinion, so I can defend myself!" said Dew firmly, Abra silently lowered his head. The word that is at the end of his tongue. As if I never wanted to say. Abra began to worry, say it or remain silent with his sense of regret.

"Sister Abra, if you think I'm silent just for revenge on your family. I made sure you were wrong to judge me. There's nothing I want to get in the way of Nur's relationship with Ibra. Even if I knew, Nur would never be insulted like me. Mr. Haykal will appreciate it, because Nur was born from a distinguished and honorable family. Nur will be Abimata's only son-in-law and not me. What are the facts, Nur? It would make Mr. Haykal proud and happy to have such a great son-in-law. Not like me who's this despicable?" said Dewirih softly, Abra immediately shook his head slowly. Seen the look of Abra's guilty face, full of regret. Abra clasped Dew's hand, hoping Dew didn't misinterpret his words. But the word has already been spoken and the heart has already judged. Gently the Dew brushed off Abra's hand.

"I found out the truth, Nur, a few years ago. Exactly when Nur had an accident. Bik Salma who took care of Nur, told all the truth. It turned out that the mother who had been caring for Nur, was nothing more than a nanny who was employed by the Nur family. At that very moment, it was the first time I met Nur's parents. Father and mother who never existed for my best friend Nur. A parent who only cares about his daughter's worldly needs. From the inner calm of her biological daughter. The wounds I knew, even though Nur never told me. The reason that kept me quiet about Nur's identity. Thought my best friend was hurt enough with her family problems. Nur covered up the excess inside him and kept his wound tight, all for the sake of a calmness. It would be inappropriate if I told someone else and ended up disturbing his composure!"

"Dear, I'm sorry!"

"Sister, Nur may be the daughter of a distinguished and wealthy family. But my best friend is poor in love. From the beginning I saw Fahmi's love for Nur. It was then that I realized, brother Fahmi was a man who would give sincere affection to Nur my best friend. A man who loved Nur with his simplicity. A man who values Nur for his faith. Fahmi never forced or expressed his love for Nur. He remains silent, giving up everything on His soul mate and resolve. He's a real man who respects the principles of my best friend Nur!"

"A real man who's ready to see me marry someone else. The man who lost before fighting me!" sahut Nur coldly, Abra and Dewun immediately turned their heads.

Nur sat right next to the Dewun. The look on Nur's face was lethargic. Nur leaned against the shoulder of Dewun, Nur's breathing was clearly heard. An agitated voice that could not be covered by Nur. Abra looked at Nur, there was a sense of disbelief to see the ever-tough friend of Dewun turned fragile. Instead Dewun can only resign, hearing the reality that Nur said. Fahmi harbors a love for Nur from the beginning, but on the other hand Fahmi is never sure of his abilities. Thoughts that make a person crumble, long before love blends together.

"Now, what's your decision?" sahut Dew relaxed, Nur silently mute. Dew glanced at Nur who was leaning on him. Dewun believes Nur is not a weak woman. Nur will not cry just because of one rejection. Like Nur which means light, Nur his best friend will be a light to the weak heart Fahmi.

"You think!" nur said, Dewun smiled. Feeling Nur was testing Dewun's concern for the pain his best friend felt.

"You understand what I mean!"

"Are we thinking?" sahut Nur, Dewun nodded without hesitation. The two spoke to each other with gestures and hearts. Abra feels stupid, seeing two friends who don't care about him.

"Should I do that!" nur said again, Dewun nodded. Abra was increasingly astonished by the attitude of Dewun and Nur.

"In love all is legitimate, as long as it does not cross the line. Fighting does not mean humbling yourself. As long as you are sure, he is the best priest and able to guide you!"

"What are you talking about? Since then, you've been ignoring me!" abra said annoyed, Dewun and Nur laughed together.

"Sister Abra, brother will see another Nur. All for the sake of fighting for his love. Show your best friend that love knows no difference. From the beginning, love is different and will be united in the sacred bond of marriage!" debun lirih.

"Darling, you're not angry anymore!"

"About our problems, we'll move on. Don't expect my brother to escape me!" sahut Dew cool, then turned his gaze towards Nur. Abra rubbed his face rough. Abra ignited a spark that he shouldn't have. I don't know what the Dew will do? Abra can only resign, because the anger or annoyance of the real Dew is visible.

"I will fight for this taste, but if my struggle fails. I'm going abroad. Following papa's wishes, marry the son of his business partner!" nur said, Dewun turned with a face of disbelief.

"Seriously!"

"Hmmmm, I only have two weeks. After two weeks, Mr. Aerospace and Mrs Mira will take me away!"

"Nur, they're your parents!" sahut Dewun, Nur smiled at the pangs of Dew.

"Dear girl, whatever are they doing? Sometimes for your own good, parents won't ruin their daughter's life. It's possible, the man you've been betrothed to. He owns your ribs!" sahut Fitri, Dew unemployed agree with the words of Fitri. Instead Nur quietly sighed.

"Mama Fitri agreed with their plan!" nur Lirih said, Fitri nodded slowly.

"If it's the best, why should you oppose it?" suhut Fitri relaxed, Nur getting agitated. Fitri who has always been a role model, now even agreed with the plans of both parents.

"So I have to cancel my plan!" said Nur Lirih, Dewun shrugged both shoulders slowly. Nur sighed, he felt uneasy after seeing Dew's reply.

"Nur, do what your heart believes? If there is still doubt, pray Istikharah ask for instructions on HIM!" said Fitri, while stroking Nur's head covered with hijab.

"Nur dear mama!" sahut Nur, while hugging the body of Fitri and Dewun together.

"Let's introduce the man you've been betrothed to. Mama wants to know him!" fitri teased Nur.

"It turns out he's been betrothed!" inner Fahmi.

"Abra, we have to go out of town. We have to get there before 09:00 WIB!" said Fahmi lirih, Dewun and Nur turned to each other.

"He's in front of you!" whispered the Dewun, Nur nodded slowly.

"Grab, come with me tonight. I have to meet papa's chosen man!" said Nur loudly, Dew nodded slowly.

"Darling, I'm leaving!" pamit Abra, then kissed the friendly Dew forehead.

"Let's Fahmi walk, why shut up? You're jealous to hear Nur being betrothed!" abra said, Fahmi was silent.

"It's not too late Fahmi, Nur still doesn't have one!" whisik Abra lirih's.
