My Heart to You, Brother (Love in Silence)

145. You, my life the afterlife (Last)

"I remember all, Love!"

"Including papah's tomb with dad?" ask Arrida.

"Yes, we've been there the same time as Fariz," replied Uwais very convincingly.

Arrida.

"So, is this really the Uwais sister I used to know with all her memories?"

"Yes, Love!"

Arrida.

"Why?" ask Uwais.

"Daddy, I'm just twitching, did you want me on my seventeenth birthday?"

"Much happened, which one? When you perform? Or time to the orphanage? Or the concert?"

"After I've performed, my brother's waiting for me in the gazebo,"

"Oh yeah, why?"

"Did you remember the one prayer I didn't have time for?"

"Is there a prayer that I do not accept?"

"There was, when I said 'May brother not forget me',"

"Isn't he?" tanya Uwais was confused.

"Yes, whereas the previous prayer was fitting I said 'Hopefully on my nineteen-year-old sister's birthday, my sister is getting sholih, healthy, successful, and barokah', I guarantee you!"

"really?"

"Become Sister, at that time my sister protested my prayer, Brother said 'That's you say a prayer or ask something' and brother said again 'we must always remember God, and remember our parents, how can I remember doang', if I protest, it's a different spirit, sister,"

Uwais nodded, he began to recall the conversation while in the gazebo.

"It turns out this is what happened, Brother forgot me, for not guaranteeing my prayers at that time,"

"I'm sorry, I don't know, and I don't realize, if I didn't guarantee your prayers back then!"

"Hmm," Arrida nodded. "It feels so sad to be forgotten by a loved one, let alone your own husband!"

Uwais smiled at his faint smile. "I'm sorry, I never really meant to forget you,"

"Yes, I know, brother, but really, it's really sad for me,"

"And forgetting you is a very painful thing for me!" Uwais. Arrida's heart is beating. He also developed his smile. And finally, after lunch they went on to watch a movie in the cinema.

🌼

Like repeating a date at that time, in the afternoon, Uwais brought Arrida to the flower garden to see the sunset. This time Uwais chose the most end of the park, they sat on the grass, facing the lake. The place was quite quiet, only two or three couples were near them, while other visitors, many gathered near the stage of the flower garden area, were, because today there will be a homeland band filling the flower garden anniversary event. Not to mention like the previous event there will be a party of lanterns and fireworks.

"Ah, warm?" arrida said when he saw dusk on the western horizon.

"Ehm? How warm? Isn't it beautiful?" ask Uwais.

"Sunset will always be beautiful, and that beauty will be replaced by night,"

"Then?" Uwais is still confused by the word 'warm' said by Arrida.

"This feeling, sister, that feeling always warms up if I'm with my sister, whatever the situation, even if the twilight has changed the night! But if without a sister, watching the sunset alone, nothing is felt, especially when the night has come, which feels only lonely!"

Uwais smiled, he also felt the same way his wife felt.

"O yes, brother inget nak, when brother love this bracelet, brother said, so that I always remember brother, while brother also said, without me saying anything, if brother will always remember me!" arrida said while showing the bracelet initialed A which was given by Uwais on his sixteenth birthday.

"I remember, and I'm sorry I ever forgot you!"

"I guess I should also give you a bracelet so that you always remember me!" arrida said with a face full of regret.

"You think you're still angry en nyesel huh, I've spared you? Hm?"

"Yes, it feels like there is nothing sincere here, why try brother can forget me!" answer Arrida pout.

"That's because of disaster, love, it's destiny!"

"I know, it's destiny! Do you know how I felt when I arrived in S? Mixed up, is it possible that I can still meet my brother, parents, family and the people I care about? I can't bear the shadow of bad things even though I finally have to accept, I'm almost desperate, but Allah showed everything to me, I met my brother, papah's body and father," Arrida's eyes were back in tears.

"O Allah, thank you for leading my Arrida to find me! And thank you Love, have been patient and persevere for me," Uwais joined in tears, feeling the struggle Arrida sought him out.

"God has strengthened me, it is truly terrible!" comment Arrida.

"Very! Very terrible, may Allah protect us, and may papah and father, as well as those affected by the disaster husnul khotimah,"

"Hush, Ar, filtered if we speak, lest we blame God, whatever happens it has been God's best ordinance and diridhoi by God, if the word happens, be sincere, return it to God, God, that's the only way you can accept it!" Uwais. Arrida was silent, feeling guilty as if protesting against God. Uwais who understood what Arrida was feeling, immediately clasped her hand.

"I can't imagine it either, but I'm sure, as time passes, your wounds will heal and without me, you can live and find a better life!" Uwais.

"Why did my sister say that? Can I live without my brother? Even if brother did die back then, I had asked Allah to allow me to follow brother, I wanted to be with brother, in this life, and in the afterlife!"

Uwais smiled faintly. His feelings are mixed. Until he could not comment.

"Why is Brother silent?" Arrida turned her head, watching Uwais who was only speechless with a blank look leading to the lake.

"Again what you say, if that had happened to me, I would have done the same!"

Arrida was silent. There was a newness in his heart. He looked towards the lake.

"Can we expect to die?" arrida asked without looking at Uwais.

"No, but if we hope we are always together in the world and the hereafter, of course we can," said Uwais very convincing.

"Ah, yes really! Aamiin!" said Arrida for sure. He then rested his head on Uwais' arm while tightening his hand.

"I've lost my father, and I don't want to lose my brother, you're my first love,"

"You are also my first and last love for me!" uwais said with a smile. Then his hand reached into his pants pocket. He pulled out a tiny velvet box. It contains a ring.

"Arrida Lathifatunnisa, you are my wife, the angel of my life, my sholihah friend the world and the hereafter!" He held Arrida's one hand, then he pinned the beautiful ring on Arrida's ring finger.

The woman smiled. His face sparkled, blushing pink.

"It's a wedding ring, sorry, just pinned it on your ring finger!" Uwais. Now he holds both of his wife's hands. But Arrida immediately removed both hands from Uwais' grasp, and it made her husband feel strange and confused.

As fast as lightning Arrida's right hand grabbed Uwais's right palm, shook it tightly, then kissed the back of her hand, as respect and love for her husband.

"Sister is my husband, my guardian angel, my sholih friend the afterlife, thank you, for wanting to be a priest in my life!" arrida said full of haru, tears of happiness also flowed from both corners of his eyes. He still looked down at the back of his beloved husband's hand.

Uwais nodded, he also had time to shed his tears and happy. The other hand outstretched rubbing the head of his wife full of tenderness.

"Thank you, Love! Thank you for loving me, thank you for accepting me as your life partner!"

Arrida again sat up straight, there were still remains of tears on both of her cheeks. Now he looks at the handsome face of his first love who has officially become his halal companion. Blissfully.

Uwais landed a kiss on Arrida's forehead very deep and long. And a few seconds later, one hand grabbed the nape of his wife, then kissed the tiny and pretty lips full of tenderness with a beautiful feeling in his heart. Warm.

At first Arrida was surprised, but he immediately welcomed her, and vented all the flavors in his heart. Until both hands squeezed the side of Uwais' shirt. He knew this was his first kiss.

Both of their hearts were pounding beautifully, their hearts were beating uncontrollably. However, both of them deliberately let their feelings dance to that unreasonable rhythm.

"Sorry, if our marriage is not as you want and we had planned, but hopefully we can be sadinah, mawaddah warohmah and barokah until jannah!" said Uwais after releasing his kiss, and clutched tightly to his beloved woman.

Arrida nodded in the Uwais's decoy.

"May father and father, see our happiness!" said Arrida while tightening his decapitation.

"Yes" They enjoyed each other's warmth in their arms.

"I love you, Ar!"

"I love my sister too!"

"I love you so much, Love!"
