It's up to God

Farewell Cry

Nadira is not sad to live apart with both parents because it has been used since childhood not one roof. While with her brother—Haikal—baru today the first time she will split the house with her brother. It feels heavy, but when a woman is married, then they should be ready to leave her home. Women should devote themselves to their husbands.

Nadira and Haikal embrace. As if they wanted to be separated forever. They can still visit each other if they miss. These siblings are like twins who can not be separated, sometimes even sick together.

"So, take good care of yourself, yeah, here. Keep health. Don't forget to lock all the doors and windows if you want to get out of the house." Nadira kept reminding her brother while she was in tears.

Haikal's eyes glazed over. The clear liquid from the tip of her eyelid was deliberately held in order not to come out. He did not want to make his sister even sadder.

"It should be your brother who said that to you. Sometimes you like to forget to eat. Especially if you have fun playing the word laptop front; you can not be disturbed, eating must be reminded first," said Haikal while stroking his sister's back.

"Yes. Sorry, deh, Brother. Thank you for trying to be a good brother to me. For me, brother is the best; always take care of me and as much as possible do not want to be in trouble."

"Ehem. Her father doesn't want to be hugged either, does he?" sultan who acts like he is jealous. However, he is self-aware that his son is more familiar with Nudengan Haikal (his first child), because he rarely even has time for Nadira. He worked hard, forcing him to separate from his family.

"Yes, here. My mom is not in the arms, try it. Even if the mama-papa again abroad, always ask when to go home," said Fenny.

The behavior of both parents Nadira this time like a child who was whining because it was not bought a toy.

Nadira lets go of her embrace with her sister.

"Sorry, Pa, Ma. I got carried away," he said, wiping away tears.

Nadira hugged his father and mother alternately while saying goodbye.

"Take care of yourself, son. If you need anything, call you. Because for parents, even though they are married and even have children, you will still be children. If you don't tell me, parents will think. Especially if there is a problem and we know from others, we as parents feel like a failure."

Fenny's words created a deep cry. As if it was an outpouring of the hearts of parents because Nadira had been in a problem, but did not intend to tell his father and mother. Once upon a time, wanted to tell a story about something, but the time was always not right. How not? Already gathering energy to tell stories, his parents were busy. Finally, the friend of all the seasons that Nadira traversed was only Haikal.

Dramatica a family that occurs in the Nadira family often makes one or between them feel guilty, but each of them must understand each other and lower the ego to avoid fighting. Although occasionally quarrelling, at least not destroy the house that has been fostered with affection.

Ammar who had just become a spectator of the free film that was in front of him, finally pledged his gratitude.

"I'm sorry, interrupt the time for a second. Can I bring Nadira with me now?"

Everyone laughed at Ammar's question. Just remember Haikal's words every time their mom and dad came home from out of town.

After the hugging and tear-fighting scenes, Nadira and Ammar say goodbye. They immediately boarded a car that was ready to accompany the journey of the newlyweds.

...***...

On the way, Nadira continued to tell Ammar many things about his family. How the harmony of a family is created despite the busyness of each. The key to harmony in any relationship is to always establish good communication.

So engrossed in the story, Nadira did not realize that this was a little wound in Ammar's heart. Because her husband's family is not as harmonious as his family. The relationship between Ammar and his older brother, who has been living abroad since the marriage of Ammar's parents, is not so good. There's a lot of confusion from both. Moreover, his brother Ammar has not been able to accept his presence and the mother.

Ammar breathed a heavy sigh. Trying to control his emotions.

"I'll always be fine if you're happy. To me, your happiness is so much more important than mine."

Ammar smiled and grabbed Nadira's hand, then kissed the back of his hand. Nadira could feel deep sadness from the look on her husband's face. Nadira is eager to help unite her husband with her brother-in-law, but whatever daya—Nadira has never met her sister-in-law. Only ever seen his face through the photos shown by Ammar.

"Generic. You are a good man. I'm lucky to have you. Being a friend to accompany your journey in this shelter is the most beautiful gift from Him. Allah is Good for sending you to me. But you don't know yet, if my joy all this time was just to cover up the wounds in my life." Nadira. Diamonds fell back from the tip of his eye patch; wetting Nadira's cheeks this time looked thin. Because of the shape of the hijab, it sometimes affects the shape of a woman's face.

Ammar who realized that his wife was crying, immediately stopped his car engine. He spontaneously embraced his wife.

"You why? You're all right, aren't you?"

Nadira could not speak anymore. He was just crying in Ammar's arms.

"Honey. What are you, anyway? How crying? The laper? Or not ready to separate the house with Haikal? Let's just turn it around if we do, okay?"

The series of questions from Ammar further made Nadira's cry explode. His breath became even more crowded. Ammar immediately took white water.

"Now drink first, yes. Breathe out slowly." Ammar helped pour the mineral water into Nadira's mouth.

Nadira took a slow breath finished drinking. Then he said, "I'm sorry and thank you, yes!"

"Sorry for what? Thanks for which one?" Ammar was further confused by Nadira's attitude.

Nadira closed her eyes while sighing shortly.

"I'm sorry you told me about your family? Yeah, relax, Nad. I'm nothin. Really, really." Ammar tried to calm Nadira's heart so that his mind did not wander.

Nadira tried to smile.

"Indeed people apologize should have a reason, huh?"

"Yes, there's usually a reason why someone apologizes. Sure, it doesn't have to be explained, but at least tell me there's no harm either." There was a big question mark in Ammar's mind. It seemed like there was a big secret that Nadira did not want to tell him. Ammar would not force if Nadira did not want to tell a secret.

"If you don't want to tell me, it's okay, but I'll always be ready to be an ear to listen to whatever your story is. Now, can we continue the journey or what? I leave it all to you."

"We continue the journey. The time to turn back to the house again, it was the same as giving a chance to Haikal to cheat on me," said Nadira.

The car drove back. They enjoyed the trip very much. This is the beginning of a real journey. I hope Nadira and Ammar can strengthen each other.
