My Heart to You, Brother (Love in Silence)
56. My Heart to you, Brother
The boat drove very quietly, using only a paddle. Because the boat engine is broken.
"Wait ya" Uwais ordered as she stood up
"You what brother"
"You tried to row the boat" said Uwais.
Finally with the father of the fisherman, who is known as Mr. Ahmad, Uwais also rowing the boat.
"You want to try Ar"
"Yes try this, brother"
Arrida took the oar from Uwais' hand and tried to paddle. But not as easy as it looks, paddling turns out to feel heavy, even Arrida is just splashing water.
And in the end there was only laughter between the three of them.
"Here, let me go" Uwais took back the oar from Arrida's hand. Then help Mr. Ahmad paddle.
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the small island. The Uwais soon descended, followed by Arrida. Once they got off the boat, they were immediately treated to rocks with unique and beautiful shapes.
🌼
Now they were walking together on the white sand casually towards the rock. They choose to sit on one of the rocks, which is not too big is also small.
"Never been here?" ask Arrida to Uwais. He left his feet exposed to the beach water up to the top of his feet.
"Not yet" answered Uwais briefly. He also let his feet hit the beach.
" How did you know this place"
"When we got home, we sampe this fishing village at dawn, because it was running out of fuel, and we tried to ask the locals for help.... Thank God we can get fuel... Mr. Ahmad is the one who nolongin us, according to Mr. Ahmad there is a small island containing beautiful rocks, he offers will take us..... But since we didn't mean to take a vacation, we didn't get to this little island"
"Oh, that means.." paused, Arrida did not continue the sentence.
" Sister just got home?" ask Arrida to make sure.
"Yes, I'm sorry Ar..."
Arrida was speechless, her eyes glancing at Uwais.
"For what?" arrida asked while playing her foot in the water. It was very curious that he asked why Uwais had not contacted him all this time.
"I haven't called you in nearly two months"
Degs....
It turned out that Uwais could read what was on Arrida's mind. The girl just looked down. There is pain in the heart that comes back. He remembered as if he had been neglected. Shame, worthlessness, disappointment, and anger become something that is very difficult to vent.
Arrida closed her eyes, trying to calm her feelings. But somehow, instead of calm down, Arrida even wanted to cry.
"Ar" call Uwais slowly. He knew his favorite girl was holding back all the uncertain feelings that had been harbored.
"Give me an excuse sis" said Arrida with teary eyes.
"Last we met, brother said, brother will call me, we will talk, but where...
even for almost two months I waited for brother without certainty" Ah, finally fell also Arrida's tears.
"Bad brother.. You know what??? I felt neglected, I even went all the way to prepare the courage to face the day of school separation, just to talk to my sister, but.we did not have time to talk .. and stupid again, and stupidly, when you said you were gonna call me, now I'm waiting for you, I'm so pathetic, right?" Arrida's a little sobbing.
"No Ar.. You are not sad, you are very pleasant, thank you for waiting for me. I'm sorry I haven't contacted you, because we can't talk if it's just over the phone"
Uwais began to explain slowly. Arrida began to wipe away her tears.
"Why I promised I'd call you and we'd talk, 'cause I thought I'd be back as soon as Grandma's funeral, maybe in three days, even papah took 7 days off work, and only Fariz came back here"
Arrida started to calm down.
"But it turns out that after the seventh day the grandmother died, the grandfather dropped, and was treated. In fact many other brothers and families can wait, but because the grandfather's son only mamah, mamah is the one who takes care of, but because the grandfather is only mamah, mamah also did not want to go to events like grandmother, just got the news that she was dead without being able to take care of her"
Arrida recalled the last time Bu Tania said she was getting more beautiful. "Pantes alone face Bu Tania when it was very sad." murmured bathin Arrida.
"And after a week of grandfather care, grandfather died after grandmother"
"Inna lillahi wa innailaihi roji'un" Arrida also defended his condolences.
"But at least you know me, brother where, and how especially after you get a parcel from me" said Arrida slightly whining. It seems like a protest what is difficult communication via cell phone
"I heard..a parcel from you I keep it well in the closet and have not opened it. The plan I will open upon returning from my grandmother's house which I thought was only three days there.... I just got home at 7 this morning. Sorry I just read it this morning and I never intentionally ignored your feelings"
**flash back on**
When Uwais had arrived at his house, he immediately went to his room, and there was only one purpose, which was his wardrobe. I can't wait to open it right away.
The parcel was opened slowly, and it turned out to be a jacket. And the jacket was his jacket that Arrida had worn at their first meeting while in the hospital.
Then tucked a letter with a light blue envelope, cloud motifs and bubbles. Soon he opened it and read it.
To: Brother Uwais
Rain bring lover heart
Rain shows the meaning of love
Rain welcomes a prayer
It seems like God wants me to be with you
you're the most beautiful
you're the best
you are special
you are the only one
I always want to take care of you
I want you to always be happy
I always miss you
I hope you know....
From here I love you
From here I love you
From here I miss you
From my heart I said 'I Love you'
My heart to you, brother
Arrid
Very simple letter. And as Uwais read it, his smile unceasingly rose on his handsome face. Not only because they are happy, but there is also a funny taste that tickles. How can his beloved little girl, write a letter with the lyrics of the song he created, and that he ever sung special at the end of the acoustic race at school HUT the other day. And did not finish thinking again, why could the girl memorize the lyrics of the song, but she only sang one appearance at that time.
However, at the end of the letter, there is a sentence that successfully makes Uwais' heart pounding great.
'My Heart to You Brother'
That strange and beautiful tremor was growing in his heart. I can't wait for him to meet his favorite girl. He thinks this means Arrida has expressed her feelings?
But suddenly there was pain in Uwais' heart.... For almost two months he had not given any news to Arrida. Wouldn't the girl have thought if she had subtly rejected him since it might be considered to have ignored him for almost two months??? Millions of regrets were raging, he really wanted to apologize immediately and straighten out the problem.
He immediately ran towards his motorcycle parked in the garage, to make Bu Tania astonished.
"Where are you going, Wais?" bu Tania asked, she followed Uwais to the garage
" There is something important mah, want to meet my life and my future, blessing ya mah" he said while kissing the back of Bu Tania's hand.
Ms. Tania just frowned cluelessly, but her smile always rose for her favorite child.
"Yes.mamah your blessing always... Yes, be careful" said Bu Tania origin replied because in fact he did not understand the intention that Uwais said
And before he met his beloved girl, he first went somewhere.
