"Assalammualaikum!" greeting Nur kindly, Fahmi looked up.
Nearly half an hour Fahmi waited for Nur. This afternoon Fahmi deliberately asked Nur to see him. Fahmi wants to say everything right now. A sense that began to disturb his day, erasing the deep in his sleep. Fahmi was troubled to think of a taste that found no end. He really does not believe, will bend his knees at love for Nur.
"Glamma!" sahut Fahmi, Nur nodded slowly. He sat right in front of Fahmi.
It came a half hour longer. Not to be late, but Nur there are jobs that cannot be left behind. Nur arrives as soon as possible, though he realizes he will be late to meet Fahmi. But Fahmi agreed to wait, when Nur said he was very busy and would come late. That's why this afternoon they met at a restaurant, even though there are obstacles that block.
"Drink, you look so tired!" fahmi said, Nur shook his head weakly. Fahmi scrunched his forehead not understanding.
Fahmi put back the glass he gave to Nur. There was a look of disappointed face, Fahmi felt Nur rejected his attention. The affection that Fahmi showed, was easily rejected by Nur. As Nur tells Fahmi, Fahmi's attention never makes him happy.
"Sister Fahmi!" sapa Nur, when he saw Fahmi lowered his head and kept his disappointment. Unfounded disappointment, because there is a reason behind Nur's rejection. The reason that Fahmi never asked, just to find out the truth of Nur's cold attitude.
"You want to order some food or drink!" fahmi said kindly, Nur shook his head again. Fahmi silently lowered his head, Fahmi sipped a glass of water in front of him. Fahmi calms down, trying to understand Nur's rejection as something ordinary. It was not the rejection that wanted to ignore Fahmi's small attention on Nur.
"Sister Fahmi, I'm fasting. So I can't eat or drink. Sorry, if you refused the gift of my sister!" nur said, Fahmi was surprised to hear Nur's explanation.
There was clearly confusion and guilt on Fahmi's face. The reason for Nur's refusal, as if a slap of Fahmi's attitude. A disappointment that has now turned to guilt. Fahmi was embarrassed to drink in front of Nur who was fasting. Fahmi does not expect, his lunch plan will turn into his guilt. The fact that Nur is a different woman.
"Sorry!"
"Why should I apologize? Brother is not wrong, I fasted sunnah. This morning, my sister asked to meet. I can't resist, just because I'm fasting!"
"Obviously I was wrong to drink in front of you. If you say you are fasting. I'm not taking you to lunch!" fahmi said, Nur smiled as she shook her head. Nur felt there was nothing wrong with Fahmi's attitude.
"People who forget or don't know, can't be said to be guilty. After all this is not compulsory fasting, it is just a sunnah fast. I fast in the midst of those who do not fast. So there is no reason why my brother or anyone would be wrong to eat or drink in front of me. I've been used to it since college. The dew that made me realize the happiness of fasting. Honestly, Fahmi, when I fast only the calm that I feel. I don't care about the problems that continue to plague my life. Fasting helped me make peace with a life full of anxiety and fear. So again, brother is innocent. Now tell me, why did you ask me to come here? Not good, if we meet for too long. Fear of slander, for we are not believers!" nur said is calm and friendly.
Nur looked down after saying everything. Nur's two eyes didn't want to keep staring at Fahmi. A face that might lead him to sin and a momentary lust. To be honest, Nur did not want to agree with Fahmi's request. But Nur did not have the heart, if he continued to reject Fahmi's invitation. Nur finally agreed, when Fahmi invited to meet in a public place. Nur asked for permission from Fitri and Afifah. The mother who never wanted to see Nur was not appreciated.
"You're right, Nur, your time is too precious. I shouldn't take your time!"
"Sister Fahmi, it's not time that's a barrier to our meeting. But real status makes us have to stay away. I appreciate you, I respect you. Even I love my brother, but there are limits between us. Limits that will never disappear until ijab qobul is spoken with sincerity!" nur said firmly, Fahmi looked at Nur sad. Why is Fahmi so afraid of losing Nur? But saying everything at this time, Fahmi is still doubtful and confused about the taste.
"Sister Fahmi, I'm sorry if I misspoke. I'm not going to force you, we're going to keep on good terms without any awkwardness. There are no promises in our relationship. Brother can consider me a sister and I will respect brother. Never be burdened with the taste I express. This feeling is sincere and does not expect a reply!"
"Are you able to control this feeling?"
"I am able, because race is based on faith not napsu. Honestly, there is pain when my brother continues to hold true to the principles of life and consider my status a difference that makes it difficult for us to unite. In fact, my status is nothing more than the pseudo status I want to let go of. But I began to understand. The brother of a man who would become a priest. So you have the right to choose the path to be better and meet with a teacher who is much better than me!"
"Nur, why do I feel like you want to forget the taste between us!"
"Not forgetting the taste, but controlling this love. So that no heart is broken, when this feeling never welcomes!" sahut Nur, Fahmi was silent.
"Nur, if I were ready to marry you. Maybe you are willing to live in a simple house with me. Leaving the palace that you have been living in!" fahmi said softly, Nur smiled in disbelief. Fahmi thought about happiness. It was as if Fahmi was afraid that Nur would not be happy living happily with her.
"Sister Fahmi, your question doesn't need me to answer. You can see for yourself my life all along. Where was I raised? What kind of life have I lived all this time? What kind of education do I choose? Even I work hard, for the sake of daily needs. Everything I've done so far wasn't a charade. Nur, who you know first, remains the same and does not change. Although Aulia Nur Hikmah was born and has the blood of the Sanjaya family!"
"Fahmi, you've heard it yourself. So when are you going to justify my daughter?" dirgantara Sanjaya said loudly, Nur and Fahmi immediately turned his head.
"No way!" nur Lirih was barely heard.
Fahmi approached towards Nur, he stood right behind Nur. Fahmi is afraid something will happen to Nur. Moreover, Fahmi saw Nur's body that began to shake. While Nur's hand is seen clutching tightly to the tip of his hijab. It was clear that Nur was depressed, Fahmi felt helpless to see Nur's pain. But his hands were too weak, just supporting Nur's body. Fahmi can't afford to be a backup for Nur. When he's nobody in Nur's life?
"Nur, you're fine!" fahmi said right next to Nur. When Nur turned his head, he looked at Fahmi. Nur's gaze was full of disbelief. Instead Fahmi felt astonished, when he saw Nur was so depressed to see his parents come together.
"Why did you ask them to come?" nur said with a trembling voice. A clear drop of Nur's tears fell down her cheek. Fahmi is increasingly confused, he does not understand the reason Nur does not like to see his parents come.
"They came at my request. Not only them, I also asked Mr. Arya and Abah Iman to come. They'll be here soon. I prepared this event very carefully. This afternoon, I'm officially proposing to you. I'll ask you in front of your parents!" said Fahmi loudly, Nur bowed. No more words came out of his lips.
Slowly, Nur wiped his tears. Nur looked straight at Dirgantara and Mira. A sharp look filled with wounds and disbelief. Dirgantara and Mira could only resign, seeing the cold gaze of her little daughter. For years they lost Nur's smile, not once did they see Nur's warm gaze. Only disappointment as if Nur wanted to show to Dirgantara and Mira.
"I'm sorry, dear papa, the cause of your hurt and disappointment. Forgive me, papa, never tried to understand your loneliness and crying. But papa felt will not be able to heal your grief and disappointment. The trauma of a family that was never happy, made papa afraid to meet you. Today, papa does not come as a father. Papa comes as a relative who wants to feel your happiness. Honey, papa deliberately brought him. Because she is still papa's wife, she is never wrong about the relationship between papa and mama. I'm sorry if you have to find your happiness. But Fahmi deserves to know the truth about your family. A family that lives with two loves and two marriages. Papa believes, if you can find Ary and Faith like your own parents. Of course you can open your heart to accept her as papa's chosen wife. Again, dear, forgive papa!" batin Dirgantara pilu, while continuing to look at Nur.
"Nur, we're sitting down!" take Fahmi, Nur stands frozen. His footsteps were stifled, Dirgantara and Mira just kept silent to see his daughter's steps getting away.
"Sister Fahmi, if brother loves me. Don't bet me, but marry me now. Make me halal for you. Lead me to HIS jannah, to the happy world of the Hereafter. Show me, there's still happiness in this world for me!" nur said loudly, Fahmi nodded firmly.
"Master and mistress of Dirgantara, I Fahmi want to ask permission to marry Nur!" said Fahmi in front of Dirgantara and his second wife.
"Fahmi, I've allowed you to marry Nur. Now ask Nur's birth mother for permission!" said Dirgantara, Fahmi turned to not understand. Nur walked closer towards Fahmi. Nur's hand held Fahmi, pulling Fahmi closer towards Mira.
"Mama, she's Fahmi's sister. The man who made me understand the meaning of love. The man who made me believe there was still the sincerity of a man. He made me understand, how great is the sacrifice in love? The great sacrifice that my mother has made. Now with my hands cupped, I beg your mother. Let me marry her, the man who makes me feel appreciated!" nur said, while cupping both hands right in front of his chest. Fahmi kept silent, he did not expect to hear such a great truth.
Mira walked over to Nur, holding tightly Nur's cupped hand. Mira shed tears that she had always held. Mira cries in front of her daughter and future daughter-in-law. Mira cupped both of Nur's cheeks, Mira kissed Nur's forehead gently. Pouring out the affection that Mira had been saving.
"I'm sorry dear mama, I'm sorry my weak mama for the love of your father. Mama the reason for your hurt and disappointment. Now you've found a man of choice. Mama won't get in the way of your marriage. Your prayers will always be with you. Trust me baby, mom and dad will always be there for you!" said Mira, then pulled Nur's body in her arms.
"Fahmi, accept my daughter with her flaws. Happy with the love you have. Don't blame Nur, for our parents' mistake. She is indeed the daughter of the Sanjaya family who is not whole, but she was raised with perfect love. Never hurt my daughter if you get tired of her attitude. Give Nur back to me, but don't even think of shedding her tears!" mira Haru said, Fahmi nodded firmly.
"Why are you asking me? I should have asked for trust, to please your beautiful daughter!" fahmi said, Mira shook her head weakly.
"Theirgantara, he's the man who will make our daughter happy!" said Mira warmly, Dirgantara nodded in agreement.
"Sister Fahmi, this is the family that scared you to love me. The family you think is perfect. Real save such a huge flaw. Now you can see for yourself, treasure does not always bring happiness. Look at my parents, they were both successful. Success is in their hands. But all of this does not make them happy. But I believe that I will be happy with you even without Sanjaya's family property!" whispered Nur, Fahmi was still glued. Nur was so close to him, Fahmi got it wrong.
"Agdhmm!"
"Father Aryan!" sahut Nur, when he turned his head right after hearing the voice of Aryan deheman.
"You're not convinced yet, don't get too close!" said Iman, Nur and Fahmi immediately moved away from each other.
"How are you, Mr. Aerospace?" greet Arya, Dirgantara blinked both eyes. She is well and happy with Nur and Fahmi's wedding plans.
"My daughter found warmth from many people. I'm sorry dear papa, you're forced to seek love from others!" batin Dirgantara pilu's.
