Palm Jumeirah, ten o'clock…
The show finally went well. Prayer has been offered, parcels have also been shared. Now there is only his remaining fatigue. I also sat in the room to rest for a moment while sipping water from Grandpa Ali.
The prayer began at eight and ended at half-ten p.m. Then one by one the invited guests began to say goodbye. And now my hand feels sore because it has been shaking hands with all the mother–ibu present.
“What are you doing, huh?”
My priest is still outside with the other male guests. I'm looking at him still chatting out there. He looks friendly and friendly too. Plus the clothes he wore tonight made him very handsome. Complete already.
“Phone mom only.”
Because I miss you, I intend to call mom. But come to think of it, the considerable time difference made me hesitate to call her. So I'll just postpone my intention. However, I sent him a message containing photos and videos of tonight's event. I hope in the morning I see it happily. I wish my happiness would reach my mother.
Mom ... soon Ara will be a wife. Pray ma'am, hope tomorrow's event goes well. Ara dear mom.
That was the sound of my message to my mother. I pray that you are always healthy and well there. Although it will be the right of the husband, but I am still his son. Because my mother gave birth to me and raised me. I will not be replaced even if I have a husband.
“Dek, Grandpa Ali calling.” Jamilah suddenly came and told me.
“Good, Brother.” I got up and got out of the room.
I immediately set foot into the living room to fulfill Grandpa Ali's call. And I saw Grandpa Ali sitting with my handsome man on the red carpet. They look so close.
“From, My granddaughter.” Grandpa Ali asked me to come closer, and I immediately sat down next to him. “Tonight you have to pray a lot. Get up early tomorrow and pray again. Grandpa heard the reception will be held at Burj Khalifa.” Grandpa spoke to us.
“True, Cake. Nine hours of his pledge.” Priaku.
“Ya, yes. Grandfather could give nothing but prayers and congratulations. May your household be blessed and endowed world-hereafter.” Grandpa Ali prayed for us.
“Aamiin.” Me and my man guaranteed in unison.
“Ara.”
“Ya, Cake?” Suddenly Grandpa Ali's gaze was fixed on my right wrist.
“Ara wears a bracelet?” Grandpa Ali asked me what bracelet I was wearing.
“Em, this ...” I don't know why the mood suddenly changed.
Grandpa Ali's gaze focused on looking towards the bracelet I was wearing. “Can be removed?” the question that confused me had to answer what.
“Em, this ... it can not be removed, Kek.” I don't want to be honest with him.
“Why?” He was so enthusiastic about asking for this bracelet.
“This bracelet is a gift from a grandmother, Kek.” Rain helped me answer.
“A grandmother? “ Grandpa Ali looks thinking.
I don't know why my heart is dag-dig-dug. I'm afraid Grandpa Ali knows about this bracelet. Only me and my husband know that. But it seems, Grandpa Ali will find out in a moment.
“Discover your right hand,” the door.
“It's okay, Honey. Who knows grandpa could help to release it.” My priest calms.
My heart is finally a little calm. In the living room, we were the only ones chatting. I hope the passers-by don't hear our conversation.
“This, Cake.” I showed Grandpa Ali the bracelet on my wrist.
I don't know what he read, I saw Grandpa Ali take a deep, deep breath and then shut down. He also held the bracelet that was on my wrist. Maybe my man has been shouting about this bracelet to him and asking for help to be released. I don't know, I don't know for sure the truth because I haven't asked directly.
I hope this bracelet gets removed.
Before long, Grandpa Ali opened both of his eyes. And I saw him breathing out a long breath slowly, like regretting what had happened. The look on his face looks worried about my situation.
“How can you accept all this, My granddaughter?” Grandpa Ali asked me seriously.
“Grandpa, Ara ..” It was like I couldn't say anything.
“You are bound by agreement with this bracelet. Do you wish to wish your Lord?” the question that makes me so happy.
“Gosh! No, Cake." Not to mess with my heart being asked like that. "Really Ara didn't know if it had to be bound by the agreement with this bracelet. Ara was just giving alms and was given a gift. That's all," I said.
"Then?" ask again.
"Ara tried to wear it, then suddenly a door opened and then drove Ara here. That's it already. There is no intention to pray for God. Really, Kek.”
I feel like crying. I don't know why Grandpa Ali could talk to me like that. I don't know what his inner eyes saw. I think my meeting with Rain will go smoothly. But I don't know why it's even like this. Without feeling the tears began to fall soaked the cheeks.
“Darling, are you okay? Grandpa Ali just wanted to make sure.” Rain hugged me, calming this heart.
I fell silent while wiping my tears. It was so painful to say that. I don't know what my man talked to him about before, nor do I know.
“Quiet, Ara. True what Rain said, grandfather just made sure. Forgive me if Grandpa's words hurt your heart. Grandfather doesn't want you to trust the strength of this bracelet more than your own God. Forgive grandfather, yes?” Grandpa Ali apologized to me.
Grandpa Ali smiled. I nodded, forgiving him.
“So how about this bracelet, Cake?” My priest asked as he turned to Grandpa Ali.
Grandpa Ali exhaled. “It's happened, My granddaughter. All we can do is pray for Ara to be strong in the face of things that will happen in the future. Grandfather's sight there are some major events that Ara will soon experience. But hopefully Ara can pass through.” Grandpa Ali is hoping.
“What is dangerous, Cake?” ask my man again.
“Dangerous or not depending on how Ara reacts. But hopefully when the moon hanger has been released, there is no more major incident that Ara must experience. Grandpa saw two stars not too heavy. However, that this month is still worrying.” Grandpa Ali looks concerned.
I let go of my man's embrace. “Ara also get three times the chance to open the portal, Kek. And now only two,” I said, telling.
Grandpa Ali nodded. “Yes, that's a gift. Grandpa loves because there is a moon and a star. Grandpa doesn't know what that means either. But hopefully Ara is the chosen girl of the millions of people on earth. Pray a lot,” Grandpa Ali's message to me.
“Good, Cake.”
Then I nodded, assuring. Although there is honestly a sense of worry in this heart. But, it's all happened and I don't know if it's going to be like this. May God forgive my mistake for trying to wear this bracelet. And as my guilt-redeemer to myself, tonight I will fill time by increasing prayer so that everything stays awake. I only hope for HIM.
