Thunder laughed angrily and patted the shoulder of the person who had just officially become his lover.
"Oh so that's what you're worried about, of course I'll fight to convince both your parents, that my love for you is so great, that, and I will always be faithful and responsible for you if we're approved to marry later"
Thunder stared at the face of his lover who was looking at him.
"Really?, please fight for me as much as possible. I'll also convince my parents that you're worthy of me"
Thunder smiled and clasped Antinia's hand, thanking her for the love she had been given.
It was late in the afternoon, and Guntur took Antinia to her place of residence after they had eaten with Guntur with his family.
"It's fine at home, sorry not to accompany, afraid of scolded mother he..he..."
"Yes I understand, your mother turned out to be very considerate and very caring in maintaining your good name" said Antinia.
"His name is also a mother, you will be very caring and possessive in caring for your children like my mother and your mommy"
"I mean my mommy"
Antinia pointed her index finger at herself, not understanding what Thunder meant.
"Yes like mommy, if she does not agree with our relationship, it means your mommy is very caring and affectionate with you, because she wants the best for you version," said Guntur.
"Oh yeah, the best version according to mommy, not in my opinion and in our opinion, but the point is all that because of his affection is the same I, understand me," replied Antinia.
Feeling uncomfortable for too long with his lover, Guntur went home. Antinia stared at Thunder's departure with a heart full of love until her car moved away and was no longer visible.
At home, Mr. Hadi welcomed Guntur with a face full of worry.
"Sit on the tour, I want to talk"
Thunder approached Hadi and sat down beside him. While the Asih foam who was nurturing the sky also sat not far from them.
"You sure you love that little girl and want to make her your wife?"
Mr. Hadi looked at Thunder with his face constantly watching his son's movements, trying to find honesty in his eyes.
"Thunder is serious sir, only this time Thunder feels in love with a girl, and Thunder wants to fight for her. May we be fooled," said Thunder.
Mr. Hadi sipped a glass of water in front of him. He conveyed his worry to Thunder, considering that the Antinia family was a residing family that was impossible to accept Thunder to be his daughter-in-law. The bayah man advised Guntur to rethink his relationship with Antinia.
Mr. Hadi was downcast, he looked gloomy and his two eyes were glazed, a shadow of the heartbreaking past as if it would be repeated again on the boy he loved so much. With a trembling voice he then resumed his speech.
"Father is afraid of bad things happening to you, you are the son of pride, I am afraid of losing you"
Now Mr. Hadi face down hid his face. stuffing began to sound even slowly. Thunder approached and hugged him. The handsome man tried to give strength to the father who had experienced trauma because of a long event that made his heart hurt because of the love of his daughter who did not get the blessing of her lover's parents.
"Father must be sure that humans live their own destiny. What happened to Mbak Sekar may have been his destiny. You must always remember, what happened to mbak Sekar has brought a meeting between father, mother and Guntur. If only Sekar could get the blessing of Reni's mother maybe we could not be together and happy like now, maybe Heaven was never born into the world. So don't just remember the pain sir, but look at what happiness and grace we have received for the gift of a test that God gave.
Likewise with what happened in the course of Thunder's life. No suffering comes without good in it, no tears are wasted" Guntur explained.
Mr. Hadi smiled and wiped his tears. His face looked brighter, Thunder's words had really made him realize that God never brings a test without good intentions in it. There is always beauty after ugliness, there is always a beautiful rainbow after there is rain.
"I'm sorry, son, you're too late with the trauma you've experienced. I forget to be thankful for all the gifts God has given me. You are right if the journey of love Sekar your brother goes smoothly, maybe the father is still alive now alone, we have never met. Now your life is so colorful, but you do not want to thank and thank God, you only remember the pain you have experienced. Never remembering what happiness comes after"
Mr. Hadi touched Thunder's shoulder and patted him.
"From now on I will support whatever your best decision includes your desire to make Antinia your life companion. I pray that Antinia's parents can give your blessing and accept you as a daughter-in-law, even though our social strata are much different"
"Aamiin sir, thank you for your prayers and support, it all means a lot to Thunder" continued Guntur.
"You didn't ask the Tour's mother for prayers? do you think mother's prayer is meaningless"
Bu Asih who had from earlier noticed the interaction between her husband and son suddenly protested, making two men of other generations who were late in the atmosphere had jumped in shock.
"Gosh, I think mom was in the room to put the sky to sleep, it was still here," said Guntur looking at Asih's mother.
"Of course I also expect mother's prayers and support as well. I may not have expected mother's prayer. We all know that heaven is at the feet of our mother. You must be supporting my relationship with Antinia, right?"
Thunder approached the Asih foam and hugged it. Bu Asih stroked his son's shoulder with pride.
"I'm so happy because now my handsome son is no longer single. Now there is a beautiful, kind woman who always fills your heart. May the women in the plantation accept your decision that you cannot be their lover. May they accept this defeat with a chest of air," said Bu Asih.
Guntur and Hadi laughed with prayers offered by Bu Asih that hinted that the Thunder youth is expected by many women to be his lover.
"This mother prayed strangely, rich I am a man who is being contested by the girls in the office of the porang plantation company. Don't be ashamed, ma'am" replied Thunder.
"Mother speaks the facts because I know in the office many who crave to be your lover, may there be no hostility and fistfight between them," Sahut bu Asih again.
