The Light of ANAS

Postponing Marriage

Naz and Arfin who had just come out of Mother's house, then walked through the gate, because Arfin's car was parked on the side of the road when he came earlier, both of them entered the car.

“Honey, where are we going?”, Arfin asked for their destination, while Naz only replied by shaking his head.

“Do you want to go home?”, Arfin asked again, Naz shook his head again and it made Arfin confused and the atmosphere was silent for a moment.

“I'm hungry..”, said Naz broke the silence and Arfin smiled because he just remembered that Naz had cried out would be hungry, then he drove his car to the place to eat.

After they reach a cafe, they go inside, Arfin looks for a seat, while Naz goes to the toilet to wash his disheveled face after crying. After that Naz returned with a plastic containing ice cubes the size of an adult's fist that he asked from the cafe waiter when he finished from the toilet.

“Darling, you bring what is?”, asked Arfin in surprise while taking his eyes off his phone.

“This is ice cubes,, “, he answered and then took a chair that he then placed next to the chair that Arfin sat in, and Naz was sitting in the chair, ”Aa brought a handkerchief right?”, and Naz was sitting in the chair, tanyakanya.

“Iya , take it,, “, he said nodding.

“I borrow can?”, ask again.

“Of course, honey, his handkerchief is also not Aa wear”, he said then took a handkerchief from inside his pants pocket, then gave it to Naz. “Nih,, what do you do dear?”, asked Arfin astonished.

Naz wrapped the ice cube with a handkerchief, then he compressed it into Arfin's cheek which was bruised due to his fight with Arsen, “Sorry Yes, Aa,,, because of me Aa's face so bruised like this”, softly with a sad look.

Arfin then rubbed the hand of Naz who was compressing him, “Honey,, let alone bruises like this, even dead I was willing for you”, he said smiling.

“Don't talk like that”, Naz's face is getting sadder.

Arfin chuckled at the change in Naz's countenance, “Indeed why,,,, ? really I'm not kidding baby, I'm willing to die for you”.

“Gombal,, “.

“Truly dear,,,”.

“But I don't want it to happen” Naz said in a spoiled tone.

“Why? You can't live without me huh?” asked Arfin sotoy.

“Dih, spiciness,,,”.

“Keep why?”, ask Arfin again.

“Because I don't want to be a widow before marriage”, Naz answered ngasal.

“What??, where are there widows before marriage?? Then if you are married, you want to be a widow?”, Arfin even cut a joke Naz.

“Yes don't want to too,, I want the same Aa keep”, he said spoiled.

“Gombal”. Now Arfin felt combated.

“Ihh, what the hell, hahaha”, Naz instead laugh at Arfin, “Oh yes, Aa how can I go back to Mother's house? Didn't Aa just go home?”, asked Naz curiously.

Arfin kept his phone on the table then took something out of his pants pocket, and thrust it at Naz, “Nih,, your phone missed in mobil”.

“Hah, how come?”, asked Naz wonder.

“How do I know... “, Arfin put out his shoulder,”, That Aa found near the hand brake”, he said again.

“Oh,, yes, I just remembered, after I contacted Mr. Udin, I immediately pinched my hair, and kept the phone in the seat , it seems to fall to near rem”, I just kept my hair, said Naz who just remembered, “So Aa back again want to touch my phone?”, ask again.

"It's not just that" said Arfin.

Flashbacks

Arfin who was driving towards his parents' house suddenly heard the sound of a cell phone ringing,

“Hah,, whose phone voice is it? the feeling is not the ringtone of my phone?”, asked her in surprise, then turned to the origin of the sound that turned out to be from next to her hand brake,

”Yeah”, it was a Naz‘ phone, then Arfin picked it up, and on his phone screen it looks the name ’Daddy, lucky the red light turns on so he does not need to stop his car to the side of the road.

Arfin shifted the green phone picture to pick up the phone,

“Hallo asalamu’alaikum, Om”, he said hello.

“Wa'alaikumsalam,, what about Arfin,,,? You're with Naz, Ar?” , he asked.

“No Om, I was again on the way home, had already registered the marriage to KUA, Naz kept asking to be delivered to Om's house to take his goods, he said, and this is his phone missing in the Om” car, Arfin explained.

“What?? Naz to Om's house,,,? And now you're on your way home? Why don't you wait for him, Ar?”, he asked again but now with a tone that sounds panicked and worried.

“Iya Om, Naz again at Om's house, I was also bargained to wait for him, but he said he would be picked up by Mr. Udin who was picking Raline up to his school”, he said, Arfell explained again.

“So Naz, alone to the house Om?”, asked him again.

“Iya Om,,”, Arfin replied briefly.

“Arfin, please now you go to Om's house, do not let him go home alone”, said Mr. Rizal in a panicked tone.

“Loh, why Om?”, asked Arfin astonished.

“Just now you are there quickly”, Mr. Rizal spoke in a firm tone half shouting.

“Iy yes Om, I will be there soon, what is it, Om?”, Arfin is still curious.

“It, that's , you will have to return Naz's phone, because someone wants Om to talk to him, please ya” immediately, said Mr. Rizal gave an excuse.

“Oh, yes Om,,”, he said, which then Mr. Rizal just hung up his phone. “Eh, how are you closed?? How did Rizal panic?? why yes?? usually Mother does not allow me to be alone with Naz, but this is Om Rizal even like asking me to be alone with Naz”, said Arfin dialoguing alone with a feeling of wonder and strange.

Arfin walked into the gate, and when on the terrace he was surprised to see a door that was slightly open, “Loh, why the door was a little open so, tumben not in lock”, he said and then entered, near the stairs, he heard a male voice from upstairs,

“Who is that?? as if someone was angry at the top, oh my goodness, Naz's room was right up there, who was that man?”, Arfin rushed up the stairs and walked towards Naz's room, he panicked when he saw Naz's door open and the sound of men cursing at each other. And when he got to the door, how surprised he saw Naz crying while sitting on the floor hugging his knees with messy hair, he stepped slowly without regard for the two people fighting in the room, “Naz,,,,”, he said.

Flashback off

“So that's the story, why Aa can go back to Mother's house, and now answered already why your father was so panicked when he found out you went to his house alone”, so, said Arfin after telling the reason for coming back to Mother's house.

“Iya,, and fortunately there Kak Bagas came at the right time, otherwise, maybe I..”, Naz could not continue his sentence.

“Ssttttt,, dear do not continue again,, already do not remember again the incident earlier,, it makes Aa's heart very sick and eager to kill your savage sister that”, he said, Arfin placed his index finger on Naz's lips.

“Aa,,, what after this Aa will leave me?”, asked Naz who stopped compressing and put his compress on the table with the plastic mattress earlier.

“What are you talking about, baby,,,? Yes, no,, Aa loves you very much and soon we will get married, do not talk weird that ah dear”.

“If earlier Brother Bagas did not save me and something bad happened to me, would Aa leave me,, hiks hyks?”, Naz again asked while lowering his head and back sobbing.

Arfin sighed, then shifted the chair he was sitting on and sat facing Naz, touching Naz's chin and straightening his head, so that their eyes looked at each other, “Don't say that again darling,, don't imagine such bad things, my heart really hurts to hear it,, no matter what happens to you, I will always be with you, I will always be with you, will always love you under no circumstances, I will never leave you, I want to always live with you in joy and sorrow and only death can separate us” , ' he said , she said with a smile and Naz returned her smile, Arfin wiped Naz's tears with his fingers,

“Already,, don't cry anymore, later you ask to add more so”, he said chuckling, while Naz directly manyun, he said,

“Don't pout that, do you want Aa to kiss you right now, hem?”, Arfin teased him instead, while Naz scoffed his lips and removed Arfin's hand from his face.

Previously Arfin had ordered food, and soon the order came and they ate the food and after it was finished, Arfin drove Naz home Mr. Syarief.

During the trip they continued to joke while laughing as if forgetting the incident earlier, but it did not last long after Naz received a message from Raline that her Mother was in the hospital, but it did not last long, he also asked Arfin to deliver it to Mother's place in care. Naz sent a message to Father, Raline and Hardi so that the incident he experienced was not notified to anyone including Mother and Naz's parents, he said the same to Arfin.

Arriving at the hospital, Arfin and Naz went straight to the room where Mother was treated and there was already Arsen who was crying while holding the hand of the Mother. Naz was very surprised to see it because he was afraid of something bad happening with his mother, and his father explained the incident that made his mother was sick and had a stroke. Crying Naz immediately broke and he approached his mother who was lying weak, his father also said that Mother in the meantime could not speak and his left hand and right leg were paralyzed, but it can be cured with medication and therapy on a regular basis.

Naz walked up to his Mother who was lying weak, then he sat down on the chair beside the bed, "Mother,,,, huaaaaaaaaaa”, Naz hugged her Mother with tears, Mother also shed tears, she shook her head slowly, because she could not speak as a result of the srtoke that attacked her.

”I'm sorry Mother,, huhuhuhu”.

“Honey,, don't be like this, your Mother will even be sadder to see you like this”, Mr. Rizal calms Naz while rubbing his head.

Naz let go of his embrace slowly, and, looking closely at the face of the Mother he loved dearly, he got up from his seat and ran out of the room, and Arfin chased after him, and it turned out that he was sitting in the chair outside the room to continue his crying. Arfin sat down next to her, hugged Naz and let Naz shed tears in his arms. His crying stopped as he saw Arsen coming out of the room, Naz immediately stood up and walked over to Arsen.

“You're satisfied now ,,, satisfied huh?? “, he said with anger, “See now because of your actions, Mommy became like this”, Naz snapped with an emphasized tone.

Arsen stepped closer to Naz then he knelt down and hugged both of Naz's legs,

“I'm sorry,, I'm sorry Naz, I'm sorry for everything I've done to you, I'm sorry for my error, I'm really sorry,,,”, I'm sorry, he said crying with regret, “You can punish me with anything, even if you want to put me in prison, I'm ready to accept all that, I'm really sorry,,,, I'm,,, I'm sorry Naz”.

Naz who was surprised and did not expect Arsen who was at home still talking arrogantly, is now prostrating to apologize to him, and it makes his heart touched, because even though Arsen was still her brother, who since childhood was raised together by his Father and Mother, Although in fact his heart was really hurt, but saw the earnestness of Arsen, he also collapsed. It seems like what happened to Mother made Arsen shaken and realized his mistake all along.

“I'm sorry Naz, I promise to correct all my mistakes, I will atone for all my sins on you and on both our parents, and on my own,, I will also take care of Mommy until she recovers”, he said again on the sidelines of his crying.

“Already Brother,, stand up,, do not be like this,”, said Naz touched both shoulders Arsen, then Arsen released his embrace and stood up.

“Are you willing to forgive me?”, asked Arsen with a sad look.

Naz nodded, “Iya, Brother, as long as you promise to change and love Mother's Father as you used to, never fight with them again”.

“Then Promise,,,”, he said nodding and smiling, “Can Brother hug you?”, the door.

“Gak can”, Arfin directly nyamber.

“Aa,,, “, Naz instantly gave Arfin a glare.

“Iya, yes, yes, but only for a short time”, he said giving permission, then Arsen hugged Naz and Naz returned his embrace.

“Thank you,, thank you little brother”, he said feeling happy because Naz has forgiven him.

“Arfin then pulled Naz's hand to release his embrace from Arsen, “Heh already,, have not long,,,”, he said annoyed,,,

Not yet nyaho aja Arsen yes, Arfin mah same her own brother aja jealous, let alone this same Arsen who was previously clearly obsessed with Naz.

“But, I have not forgiven Big Brother completely, before Big Brother proved all of Brother's words earlier”, said Naz.

“Yes, I promise you will prove what you said, Brother, “, he said convincingly.

Mr. Rizal who apparently from earlier saw the incident by peering from behind the door a little open was happy, finally Arsen could realize his mistake, and he really hoped he meant it with his words. Then he moved and sat back on the sofa in the room, as if afraid of being caught because he had peeked, he sat down and pretended to play his phone.

Naz wiped his tears and wiped his face with a wet tissue taken from his bag, “Look we go in and see Mommy, Mommy must be happy to hear this”, Mommy, take Naz to Arsen and Arfin, they come in with Naz.

“Oh, yes, Brother Hardi same Raline where? That was the one who knew I was Raline”, he asked while circulating his gaze in the room.

“They just came home after seeing Mommy, I thought you passed them, he said Raline wanted to pick up Elsa, while Hardi had a teaching class”, said Mr. Rizal explained.

Naz approached Mother and sat in the chair next to the bed where Mother lay, Naz held her Mother's hand while kissing her, “Mother, Mother quickly healed yes,,,,, Naz holds her hand while kissing her,,, will I soon get married,, ”, he said smiling with a smile that seemed forced so as not to look sad in front of his Mother and Mother smiled while winking her eyes as if to say it.

“We should postpone our marriage until Mother is completely healed, Om... ”, said Arfin proposing to Mr. Rizal who is the same as standing next to Mother's bed. Arfin's words surprised everyone there, including Mother.
