Chapter 19, There's an Elephant Behind the Stone

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Crying is like a drizzle [heart like a painful lake]

Try to find the essence [find the amulet]

Eclipse's distress[silence does not rhyme]

Gusar added unbearable trembling sense ….

The music grew more and more exciting, there was a boisterous sound and clapping hands from that direction. Dirga could not take his eyes off.

Another rhythmic thump also boomed within Arnaff. Arnaff looked at every face in the room, occasionally looking at pictures of himself and photos of Shafi. A sense of tightness enveloped his heart.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” The sound of the greeting broke Arnaff's daydream, as four girls came carrying what they were about. One of them was the girl he used to think Shafi was in front of his eyes.

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” answer everything in the room.

“Uncle, this is a shipment from Barabai. Brother Erli sent all this, said brother Erli, they come later tonight only,” explained Mayfa.

Arnaff's eyes were still looking towards Mayfa. Mayfa only gave a smile to Arnaff, regardless of the gaze, Mayfa placed the items she had brought near her uncle Ardhin. Mayfa took her phone, turned on the video on her phone, recorded everything her former big boss had sent her.

“Women who sing it my future wife?” ask Arnaff.

“Iya, she's Aurelia Syafitri, uncle's nephew,” replied Ardhin.

Anaff looked very disappointed. “Sorry, I cannot continue this marriage,” said Arnaff.

“Matching couples, Syafi somplak, Brother Arnaff also likes to joke,” said Mayfa. Mayfa is still focusing on her camera phone.

“I'm not kidding, I don't want to have a wife like that woman who is singing it.” Arnaff's face was really serious, his tone of speech was also very firm. Mayfa tensed up, she forgot to stop the video recording on her phone.

“Do not joke son ...” Kamal's face looked worried.

“Nak, it's Shafi's kasian that son Arnaff is canceling the wedding now. Want to put where our faces are?” Ardhin looks pretty devastated.

“Honor?” Arnaff stared cynically at Ardhin and his wife. “Before I approve this marriage, I have investigated who my future wife is. It's just that the spies I hired weren't prefessional, they were switched in probing. The point is, I already know who Shafi is, the bar-bar woman! No self-respect! The bay! It is easy to seduce people. It was only a three-day investigation, how about I investigate a month? She is definitely not a good woman.” Arnaff threw out so rough his breath.

“Nak, his marriage contract stay tomorrow, destroyed the self-esteem of Syafi, if in stay ahead of the marriage contract.” Kamal pleaded for Arnaff to think about the impact of his decision now.

“Easy once you guys talk pride. Your niece alone cannot keep her pride! As a woman ... she has lowered her own self-esteem with her strange behavior,” said Arnaff.

“Nak .. pity us, we are poor. If Shafi is not married—”

“Should Uncle know himself, why uncle match Shafi with me. Who are you guys? Pede once ...” Arnaff returned a sad look from the look in Ardhin's eyes with a cynical look. "Uncle do not be afraid, I will not ask for back the money that has been sent. Consider it indemnity."

Mr. Said clenched his hands together, furious to see this talkative young man in front of him. Rosalina was aware of her husband's anger. She held onto her husband's shoulder, so that her husband would not let go of his anger.

Mayfa's upset. He felt more familiar with the Shafi, he did not accept his friend in such contempt. Forgetting the current condition of her phone, Mayfa placed her phone on a small cupboard beside her. Forgetting to turn off the video footage that goes on. “If you don't know who Shafi is yet. Don't you dare insult her like this!” kecam Mayfa's.

“I will not continue this marriage! I already have a child. I can't marry that alay lebay woman. If she is my wife, how will my child develop?” Arnaff looked at Ardhin again. “Better I lost hundreds of millions for financing this void marriage. Rather than me losing my self-esteem, having a wife like her. Who keeps singing it.” Arnaff immediately left Ardhin's house.

“Pak! We're Back to Hotel!” Arnaff shouted at the driver who had driven him earlier. With a feeling of annoyance Arnaff passed away Ardhin's house with his driver. Dirga was so engrossed in watching Shafi's performance that she didn't realize Arnaff was passing by her with the driver who was driving them.

Ardhin held onto his chest which felt tight. His fear has been proven all along. A young man who could not accept the Shafi with his strange habits. Ardhin's body immediately collapsed onto the floor.

“Uncle!”

“Change!”

The shout came out simultaneously from the mouths of Kamal, Mr. Said, Rosalina, Mayfa, Eren, Asti, Marcelia, and Shofia. Mr. Said asked for help from the people in front of the house to lift Ardhin's body.

Kamal stepped towards the chair, the pain really made his whole body tremble. Kamal threw his body in the chair. “Syafiii ...” The moaning escaped from his lips.

His heart was so sick to imagine the fate of his nephew. Rosalina and Eren try to calm Kamal down. Mayfa ran straight to the event. Shafi

still singing there.

A nurse came to check on Ardhin. “Please, just take it directly to the nearest Hospital,” he said.

In that chair, Kamal slowly closed his eyes. Seeing Kamal's eyes closed made Rosalina worried. ”Dad ...” Rosalina called her husband.

“Please check out Kamal bu also,” pinta Pak Said.

The male nurse immediately examined Kamal. Feeling strange, he took a tool to check blood pressure, finished pressing Kamal, he threw out his breath. “Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi roji’un,” muttered.

Rosalina tried to hold back her tears. She drowned her face in her husband's arms. The situation in the house was immediately gripping, colored by the sobs of those who were there.

At the same time, at the place where the Bajapin event took place. Shafi still strong singing and dancing with Japin dancers. This time he sang the song ‘There is an Elephant Behind Batu’ from the group Bnad Wali.

🎶🎶🎶🎶

Eeee Aaaa. The effort can be effort …

Eeee Aaaa. But that's not it too ….

Teng teng teng teng teng teng .. teng teng teng teng ....

🎶🎶🎶🎶

Seeing Mayfa approaching him, the Shafi grew more and more singing spirit. Mayfa whispered to Shafi, while Shafi was still focused on the song.

“There is an elephant behind the stone, the stone is missing the elephant came—” Instantly Shafi sculpted after hearing

mayfa. Tears immediately flowed down his cheeks. Syafi gave a mic to one of the dancers, while he immediately ran towards his uncle's house. Seeing the Shafi who ran fast with a state of crying makes the citizens who see wonder. Mayfa asked music players to stop the show.

The cessation of the music event made the residents who had enjoyed the event confused, and threw questions with other residents. Dirga was no less anxious, seeing the Shafi crying like that made himself ventured to the citizens passing by beside him. But the people don't know either.

Dirga ran towards Mayfa. “May ... What's wrong?”

“Uncle Ardhin passed out!” Just that word that Mayfa was able to say, he also ran to catch up with the Shafi. Dirga pegung hear his beloved uncle pingsang. Dirga knows, if his mother has heart disease.

The new shafi until the front of his house, his heart was further broken to see the residents carrying his unconscious uncle. “Paman .…” Syafi was so devastated to see the condition of his uncle.

“Your uncle, we're taking him to the Hospital. You please go see your aunt's condition,” Pinta Pak Said.

Shafi soon entered his uncle's house. His heart was further crushed to see his aunt already lying on the floor covered by cloth. “Mamaaa!” Shouting Syafi. The shafi is so broken.

Mayfa was speechless, her heart was so sick to see what was happening before her eyes. He pulled the Shafi into his arms. The Shafi shed his tears in Mayfa's arms.
