Earth Love Qibla

102

Morning greeted with a drizzle of the rest of the rain last night. Bumi was still sitting on the balcony reluctant to go down even though mama had called him earlier for breakfast.

She was ashamed of her behavior last night. Why can't it be as fresh as before?

Mama called again, even this time to come to him on the balcony.

"You get changed, there's Akash. Mama's gonna tell me to go home again, or...."

"Have a wait, dong!" Bumi slashed my words, immediately headed for the room and put on her best clothes.

Mama came out first, her bead had caught the excited Earth. After seeing who was waiting for him, what could still be such a glee.

***

Just down one step, his steps had stopped because he heard so many voices talking. It seems not just one. And she also heard a voice, Alisha.

Slowly he finished his steps until he finished the steps. His eyes immediately caught some people who were now sitting filled the living room that was not too spacious.

Slowly but surely the Earth took her step and ventured to say hello. It's not just Akash there. There were Ummi, Zahra, Nadia, Ilham even three people who were not Earth recognized.

"Sit, Honey!" tell mama, the whole sofa is no longer in the living room. Either be kept.

They were sitting on carpets, very relaxed. Earth remembers who the three people are now among them. But he could not remember it.

"Earth is confused why so many people?" it was Ummi's voice that asked, beside him sat Akash wearing a white shirt as he wished, never mind.

"Yes, Ummi. Mama said only Brother came." The earth cannot hide its astonishment.

"This is what I'm introducing, brother Ummi and sister Abi." Ummi turned his gaze to the three people who had made Earth ask about his identity.

The earth looked at them. Three men wearing the same clothes. Muslim clothes, like an ustaz. Ummi introduced one by one among the three.

All three have the same stature. Tall and white. Only age sets it apart. The first Ummi introduced was Abah's brother, named Uncle Samosir. Then beside him was younger, at the age of the Sea his name was David, the son of Uncle Samosir. And another one that looks more sepuh named Wak Haji Dahlan, Brother Ummi.

"Earth wants Ummi to talk, or Uncle, or...."

"I want Big Brother to talk," replied Bumi quickly, she already knew where this conversation was headed.

He just wanted to hear the man he loved talk.

Akash choked, he's not very good at stringing words. Especially having to talk in front of a lot of people.

"Kash, let's talk!" tell Ummi, his fingers clutching Akash's fingers. Ummi knows this is not easy, considering his son is not someone who is an expert in speech.

"Bissmillahirahmanirrahim."

"Mama, today with all humility, with all the shortcomings that I have, I ask permission to make Mama's daughter as my wife. Can, Mah?"

Akash asked the mama who had secretly been cultivating tears since Akash's first sentence was thrown.

"Yes, Mama allow it. Mama leave the decision to Mama's daughter." That was my mother's answer.

This time Akash started the sentence with a laugh, then looked at the Sea with a serious face.

"Gue males really talks about you," Akash laughed again, The sea too. Makes the atmosphere slightly melt.

"I'm sorry you are the sister of the girl I love so much, I don't want to also have permission. Sea, I ask you to permit Earth to receive me. Can you, right?"

Instead of answering, the sea moved from its seat. Hugged the friend.

"B*ngsat lo, where someone's asking you to talk like that!" The sea broke his embrace.

"Unfortunately my sister will also be angry if I do not permit it."

"Kash, starting today you should call me brother, man." The sea hits Akash's front shoulder.

"Nobody, what the hell males me," joked Akash.

"Oh yes I'm not blessed, I'm the guardian. There's nothing I can't get you married to" Laut threatened.

The two looked at each other, then laughed together and hugged again.

"Who am I talking about for 13 years?"

"Lo duda man,"

"Pake diingetin,"

Deheman Ilham's voice slashed the idyllic chatter of the Sea and Akash.

"Pity is concerned already waiting," quipped the Sea and greeted with laughter.

The sea returned to its original seat, letting Akash speak to the Earth.

"Earth, I keep my promise. I came to pick you up. Will you walk with me? through the days until only death will separate us? I didn't promise you that every day would be beautiful, but I'll make sure I'll always be there when you need me."

As long as it was stringing up the sentence, the Earth was still. Down, holding tightly my mother's hand.

"Be my wife, Earth. Be my life partner, don't make me feel broken."

That was Akash's last sentence, because after that he chose to hide his face behind Ummi's shoulder while whispering, "i'm afraid of being rejected."

Bissmillah

"I'm willing to be Brother's wife."

The answer was short but made lafadz Allhamdullillah echo to fill the room. Akash immediately hugged Umminya, hugging her tightly without any embarrassment to the sight of many.

Afterwards, enter someone who had been waiting outside.

"Sorry, this is so right? I've been waiting too long."

"Huh, akad?" Only Earth is shocked.

"Who wants to get married?" hold Earth on someone who turns out to be the ruler.

The ruler read a paper greeting, "Asham Al-Akash and Bumi Hansa."

The earth widened its eyes, was this not too sudden.

"Mom, should it be now?" The earth sulks, not unwilling but strange.

"Earth, I don't want us to be apart anymore if we have to buy time" Akash said.

"Something good has to be quickened, that's what we're here for. Be witnesses to your marriage." Uncle Samosir spoke.

"You're ready, aren't you, son?" Wak Haji Dahlan spoke.

"Yes the Earth is ready and sincere."

"Allhamdullillah."

Everyone immediately prepare for position. Mama turned out to have invited the chairman of RW and Rt who would be a witness to the wedding of the woman.

Everything is impromptu according to Akash's wishes. He doesn't want to play with time anymore. No longer want to lose to the situation.

Yesterday morning he had a wrong strategy. After hearing a conversation between Zahra and Bumi about Nadia and Hafidz, she called Uncle Samosir and Wak Haji to accompany him to Uti's house to propose to Bumi.

However, until there he found in fact only an empty house, the Earth does not exist. When he opened the phone and the block had opened the Earth as fast as lightning he called Earth. And how shocked when he found the voice of Alisha who said the Earth is in the house Umminya.

Look how stupid he feels. It was also directly back to Jakarta, of course with David and Uncle Samosir who had all-out taunting.

Arriving at Ummi's house again mocked by Ilham, Zahra and also Nadia. Blame him for being so rash. Not asking first.

Instead, it was this impromptu event that his family could prepare for him and Earth.

Last night he had memorized the kabul that he was about to say. Hopefully smoothly.
