DEW PURITY

Wedding Day

The expected morning arrived, in the next thirty minutes. Abra will have Dew completely. Removing the doubt of the taste in his heart. At exactly 09:00, Abra will say the ijab qobul the second time. A sacred promise of the union of soul and heart. Acknowledgement of the true status of Dew. Fusing the distance separating Abra and Dew all along.

"Bismillahirrohmannirrohim!" Inner Abra full of haru flavor.

Abra stepped inside the Dewun's house. The simple house that became the beginning of the story of Dewun and Abra. The house that will be a silent witness of the sacred bond of Abra and Dewun. The house where Dewun grew up and finally went to her husband's house.

"You nervous?" Whisper Fahmi, Abra shook weakly. Not only was Abra nervous, she was afraid that she might be wrong in saying the qobul ijab. Although this is not the first time, but somehow Abra feels this is the first and last time in her life?

"Then why is your body shaking? I saw cold sweat coming out of your temple. Facing your investors is brave. Saying ijab qobul, you are afraid!"

"Shut up!" Sahut Abra was upset, Fahmi immediately smothered his mouth. Fahmi feels Abra is different, he sees his best friend who is filled with fear. Not afraid to face the enemy. Rather than fear of losing Dew, the coolant of the heart.

Abra and Fahmi sat down at the prepared place. Abra sat right in front of the head. Fahmi sits next to Abra. Mr. Ardi sat side by side with Abah Iman. They became guardians of Abra and Dewun. Fahmi saw Abra bowed in lethargy. A little flawed in the happy Abra this morning. Fahmi realizes the suffering of his best friend. Without the need to ask, Fahmi can already guess the reason for his friend's sadness.

"Abra, you must be strong!"

"I'm strong Fahmi, I won't fall. This morning I will be a perfect priest, there is no way I am fragile just for their sake!" Abra said, Fahmi nodded then patted Abra's shoulder gently. Giving strength to his best friend, becomes the most solid support in the fragile Abra.

"Abra Achmad Abimata will not be fragile, Pebbles will not make you fall down. I have always seen you strong. You won't give up, but you will survive and fight to the end!"

"I'm fine!" Sahut Abra, Fahmi clearly saw the firmness in every word Abra.

Abra looked down at the carpet where she was sitting. Not in a fancy building where Abra and Dewun are married. Not a magnificent and beautiful chair, Abra sat down. But a simple house and cheap carpet are full of warmth. It's the most comfortable place Abra's ever been. Removing Abra's anxiety about the rejection of her most beloved person.

FLASHBACKS

"Papa, can we talk!" Abra said, shortly after knocking on Haykal's room door.

Tap Tap Tap

There were footsteps from inside the room. Abra waited for Haykal's door to open. Before long, the door algae opened. Indira stood right behind the door. A smile was seen on Indira's face. For decades, it was the first time Abra came knocking on her bedroom door. They live under the same roof. Not necessarily make the relationship between Indira and Abra warm. All this time, the two respected each other. Not interfering with each other's affairs. Even Indira did not participate in the preparation of Abra's wedding. Not that she did not care, Indira tried to keep her good relationship with Abra.

"Abra come in!"

"Thank you, I just wanted to talk to papa!"

"Well, I'll call him!" Indira said, Abra nodded slowly. Abra walked slightly away from Haykal's room door.

"What's the matter Abra? Why not talk inside?" Haykal said, Abra shook her head weakly. Haykal was standing right beside Abra. Indira chose to enter the room.

Ting Tong Ting Tong

The big clock clink at Abra's house shows at 00:00. Right at midnight, Abra knocked on Haykal's bedroom door. A room he didn't know when he last saw? Abra even forgot, every corner of Haykal's room. Abra's attitude continues to maintain distance. Makes her ignore Haykal's warm hand. The father who from when did he start to forget to warm his son's embrace?

"Why? Is it because of Indira?" Haykal said, Abra was silent.

"We better talk tomorrow, it's late at night. Papa has to get out of town tomorrow!" Haykal said coldly, Abra looked up in disbelief at Haykal.

"Papa's going out of town!"

"Indira's parents are in the hospital. Papa hasn't been able to see him. So tomorrow morning papa will leave. Naura and Ibra will follow after college!"

Deg

Abra's heartbeat stopped, his chest hurt. There was a great sense of pain, when Abra heard Haykal's words. A gesture of Haykal's absence in the event of his importance. Abra instantly fell silent, his lips twitched and his bones felt paralyzed. Abra was no longer able to stand up, even Abra staggered backwards leaning against the chair. Haykal was slightly astonished, seeing Abra's body suddenly staggering backwards. Not yet Haykal helped, Abra's hand stopped Haykal's steps.

"I'm fine, papa can go back to the room!" Abra said softly, Haykal silently looked at his son's nanar. He saw Abra's hand touch his chest. Haykal was anxious, afraid that Abra would be sick.

"Abra!"

"I'm fine, go get some rest. Papa will travel far. Don't let me feel tired!" Abra said, Haykal nodded slowly. Then with a slow step, Haykal went into his room.

Indira stood right on the door leaf. He saw the relationship between father and son. A clear drop of tears fell, Indira felt sad to see Haykal's steadfast attitude. Haykal's hubris over his rejection of the Dew. Make the relationship between father and son more distant. Distance that won't be easy to put together. Abra was just silently sculpting, unable to hear Haykal's footsteps that continued away.

"Father, once in my life I need you. Once in my life anyway. I'm ruined because of you. Your departure tomorrow, shatters the little hope of my life. Loud your voice, like a thunderbolt that crushes my bones. Not once, papa's gone from my life. Not once, papa ignored me. Not once, papa forgot my wish. But for the first time, now I feel broken without you. Papa, tomorrow is the happiest day of my life. The day I started my new life. Bury bitter memories, forget every tear. Turned my dark world into light. But why pa? Why did papa dim my asia? Papa left me when I needed you the most. Indeed without you I can get married, but your blessing is early in my marriage. If only you could hear my heartbeat. Papa will hear it stalled, when papa chooses to stay away from me. Papa, if in reality I can never ask for your ridhom. With sincerity, I apologize to you. The son who you began to forget, has now found his ribs. Thank you, thank you!" Inner Abra Lilu, then wiped a drop of tears in her eye fertilizers.

"Wait!" Shouted Abra, when he saw the door of Haykal's room was about to close.

"What's wrong?" Indira said, Abra approached Indira. Slowly and politely, Abra pulled Indira's hand. Then Abra kissed the back of Indira's hand. It was as if Abra was asking for his blessing to the mother who gave birth to him.

"Abra!" Indira said with tears.

"Tante Indira, Abra titip papa. Don't let papa get tired. Tomorrow let the driver deliver aunt and papa. Say hi to aunt's parents!" Abra said warmly, then walked away.

"Abra!" Calling Indira, Abra turned towards Indira.

"Tante will persuade your papa!"

"No need!" Abra said, shaking his head.

"Why?"

"It's not my presence that's important to me. But the ridho and sincerity that I expected. So no need for aunty to help me talk. Papa has the right to choose his happiness!"

FLASH BACK OFF

"Abra, are you ready?" Abah Iman said, Abra nodded slowly. With great respect, Abra kissed the back of the hand of Iman.

Faith smiled, then shook Abra's hand. Saying the ijab and waiting for the qobul from the daughter-in-law who will guide her daughter. A sacred process that takes place with great solemnity. Forgetting for a moment the emptiness of Abra's heart will be the figure of the father. With a loud voice that echoed. Abra uttered the qobul, receiving the hand of Dew as a whole to become the makmum of his afterlife.

LAWFULLY

A word that is said three times. Echoing throughout the house, it is a sign that the Khafifah Fauziah Dew has been contained. Abra's relieved smile, became a huge sense of happiness for Ardi. His first grandson has now found his berth. Abra is no longer alone, he is now the head of the family. Ardi wiped away her tears, as Abra kissed the back of her hand affectionately.

"Are you ready to meet Dew?" Whisper of Faith, when Abra was asking for her blessing. With a shy look, Abra nodded. Faith smiles completely. The real marriage took place a few months ago. Now it really happened in a much warmer way and atmosphere.

"Sister Abra!" Call the Dew, the sound of the Dew vibrating the body of Abra. A voice that for a week was not heard by his ears. Now lovingly calling him. Abra immediately turned his head, he saw Dew standing right behind him.

"Beautiful!"

A word that Abra could think of. The Dew is no longer sacred, but the beauty of the Dew nourishes the heart of Abra. A smile Dew, like a fresh breeze that hit the heart. Fill the empty heart of Abra with infinite love.

"Assalammualaikum my imam!" Dew said, kissing the back of Abra's hand. Dew sits cross-legged in front of Abra. Dew devoted his devotion and respect to Abra. Thawing relationships that have frozen.

"Waalaikummsalam makmumku!" Whisper Abra, Dew smiles knot. Dew stood up, he was about to greet some guests. But without speaking, Abra pulled Dewun's hand. Dew's body staggered and fell in Abra's arms.

"I've never seen you in a week. Today you're only mine, won't I let you away!"

"There are a lot of guests!"

"That's why I hugged you, so that they would know. You belong only to an Abra!" Abra said haughtily. The dew swallowed his breath, then gently Dew held Abra's hand.

Abra immediately released his embrace. Dew smiled amusedly at Abra's spontaneous attitude. Just when Dew's hand touched it. Warm swirling down flowed in his blood. Abra's desire took hold of his mind. Abra spontaneously let go of her embrace. Because he was afraid he could not control himself. Abra may be a great boss with a disciplined and hard way of working. When dealing with the Dewun. Abra is like a body without direction, his heart and soul as if working without orders.

"Why removed? I want to keep hugging me!"

"You deliberately want to tease me!" Abra said, Dew immediately nodded.

"I've started learning how to deal with you!"

"Grow!" Said Abra friendly, and do not believe in the naughty attitude of Dewun.

Abra scratched his non-itchy nape. When accidentally, Abra realizes Ardi continues to look at him. Abra was embarrassed to remember her attitude that really did not want to be away from Dewun. The shame that was revealed from within a heart full of love for this village princess.

When Abra was busy with her embarrassment. The dew that escaped from Abra's embrace. It disappeared into the crowd of guests. Dewun wedding is simple, but full of warmth and family. Almost all the villagers came to give prayers and blessings to Abra and Embun. The simplicity that disturbs the emptiness of Abra's heart. When she realized, no family complemented her happiness. While the Dewan that has no family. It has the warmth of the whole village.

"Faith, forgive Haykal!" Ardi said, Faith is silent. Seemed a smile that deliberately wanted to hide its diversity.

"He's not mistaken Mr. Ardi, Haykal deserves to reject a daughter-in-law like Dewun. Ordinary women from the village, women without education and the same degree as Abra. There is no need to say sorry or thank you. Let Haykal be firm with his stance. We are steadfast in the hope of the happiness of Abra and Dewun!"

"You're not angry!"

"Lying if I'm not angry. I was obviously angry and disappointed. When I saw my daughter's wedding was marred by Haykal's haughty attitude!" Said Faith loudly, Ardi immediately fell silent. No more voices, the loud answer of Faith as if to make everything clear.

"Sorry!"

"I told you, there's nothing wrong and no one's giving up. I'm not angry because of Haykal's absence. I'm not disappointed by Haykal's refusal. I was angry and disappointed, when my old eyes saw the emptiness in my son Abra's eyes!"

"Get it!"

"Yes, Mr. Ardi, Abra has been coming. My old eyes did not escape from looking at him. I saw the pain in his heart. Abra misses Haykal a lot. Only Haykal was able to complete Abra's current happiness. My disappointment grew even more, when Abra sighed right after saying the qobul ijab. He felt tired of his waiting. Haykal didn't come on the most important day of my son's life. He ignored the son who missed him so much!"

"Then, what about Dew?"

"Mr Ardi, Abra and Dewun are like two different eyes. They have different nature and character. But they are there for one another. Since childhood even a second ago. I never worried about her. My dew is able to put myself in even the most difficult places. He was like the drops of the morning Dew, soothing an arid heart and cooling a hot soul. Now my Dew has found its purpose. Then, where should I worry about it?"

"You guys are so warm, there's not the slightest bit of bad thinking about us. Although it's obvious Haykal's refusal could have ruined your daughter!"

"Look!" Saying Faith, while directing his gaze towards Abra and Dewun. Staring at the warmth of Dew and Abra who were eating on the same plate. Removing the distance and disgust both. Love in one perfect soul.

"If Dew is afraid to face Haykal. Who will make my son smile? Let Dew pour his affection on Abra. Perfecting Abra's empty life. One more thing Mr. Ardi, this marriage is purely a Dew decision. There's no compulsion in this. So stop thinking, if me and Dewun give up on Abra!" Speaking of Faith, Ardi nodded. In his heart, Ardi could only say thank you. The love of Dew has made Abra so happy.

Finally the pair of old eyes continued to stare at the two happy souls. Is it true happiness or just camouflage? Whatever it is, happiness is now real. The laughter of Abra and Dew, sounding melodious in the ears of Ardi and Iman. Two people who continue to hope for the happiness of Abra and Dewun.

"Darling!"

"Hmmm!"

"Am I dreaming? I can't believe your warm attitude!"

"Wake up, then, so that all these dreams are lost!" Said the Dew casually, Abra snorted in annoyance. But there is happiness that cannot be said. The bribe from Dew's hand, made Abra forget about the world revolving around him.

"There will be a surprise that will make you not want to wake up from this dream!"

"What?"

"Look towards the entrance!" Relaxing Dew. Abra immediately stood up, when he saw Haykal coming with Indira.

"Father!"

"Go, hug the father your heart longs for. Respect the woman standing next to him. She's the mother who raised you, though she's not the mother who gave birth to you!" Dew said, then go away carrying the dirty dishes the rest of them eat.

"Where are you going!" Abra said while holding Dewun's hand.

"There will be time to sit with them. Right now, just for your sake they're coming. Hug them with the longing you've been saving. Don't start our marriage with hostility that never existed. Blend the ego that shouldn't be in the family!"

"No, without you!"

"Where are we going? He will always follow the dawn. Abra the dawn of my life. I am forever beside you. For the Dew will not be present, if the rays of dawn do not greet. Because the Dew is created, when the warm dawn breaks!"

Cup

"I'm always with you!" Dew said, kissing Abra's cheek.
