Thunder on Earth Love

Go home

"Hallo Boss!" Shafa greeted Gibran by tilting his head. Her sweet smile was sad.

"I am your brother not your boss" Gibran murmured, pretending to put on a sour face. Then a smile on his face.

Shafa spread out his hands wide. To have Gibran embrace her. Everyone smiled warmly at Shafa and Gibran. Steven subconsciously embraced Olivia's shoulder with a fluffy smile on his handsome face. Olivia felt a sense of warmth that had not been around for a long time

sensed it.

"Daddy is just as good as Mama?" shafa asked after taking off Gibran's embrace.

Olivia was surprised to hear Shafa's question. He doesn't know exactly where his relationship with Steven is going. Survive or let go. Back or away.

"Daddy is up to Mama you are the Fa," said Steven casually. Then keep his hands away. He realizes that Olivia has not fully accepted herself.

"Mama want to go back home? We gather together again like before" Shafa said expectantly.

Olivia could not bear to see Shafa who was very hopeful. A mother's instincts of affection dominate her soul. He wants to make amends to Shafa. Perhaps by returning he could be freed from the burden of guilt. "Mama wants to go home if you also come home Shafa," said Olivia later.

Steven looked at Olivia with a twinkle of great hope. "So you want Oliv back? You agree we'll start all over again?"

Olivia nodded slowly. Enough for the past three weeks he convinced his heart. There is no harm in opening your heart and starting all over again. All for their daughter's son. His love for Steven is the same. He still loves that man. Although they had been separated for a long time, there had never been a divorce between them. Their status is still husband and wife.

"Thank you Olivia you're still giving me a chance." Steven held onto Olivia's hands. Happiness cannot be hidden. Not in vain all this time he held firm a loyalty. He finally got the answer to his years of waiting.

"But I'll be home if Shafa also comes home Stev" Olivia later said.

"Shafa still has to finish Ma's thesis. Mom's coming home with Daddy!"

"No Shafa. Mama will keep you here until you finish college. You should stay with your Mom and Brother."

"Can't Ma. Shafa's comfortable staying contracted with Shafa's friends."

"OKs... Ok... Just look. Let Shafa stay with him and I'm willing to come back here for you guys" Steven said.

"Daddy Good!" Shafa gave his thumb.

"Thank you Pa!" gibran said happily. Eventually the family was able to reunite.

"Papa is also grateful that you took good care of Mama!" Steven clasped Gibran and Olivia's shoulders to the right and left.

The three of them enjoyed a moment of togetherness with a joking interlude of laughter from Shafa. The girl tried to show her cheerfulness, even though in the depths of her heart there was deep sadness. Sadness about someone who has abandoned him first. If he were still there would be more complete happiness that he felt.

When everyone leaves because of their own business. Shafa asks Randi to accompany him.

"Where's my cell phone?"

Then Randi opens the drawer and picks up Shafa's phone. When the phone is on there are many messages from his friends. Dozens of calls from Nature as well as some messages from her Mr. A. Shafa's face instantly changed. How he should explain to his contract friend about his sudden departure without any news.

"Non just calm down. Gibran took care of everything. All they know is Non's coming home until an unspecified time. The campus has also allowed Non leave for a month," said Randi.

"Thank God Rand."

Then Shafa contacted Nature telling him what had happened to him. That man must be very worried about him. Usually Shafa always took the time to stop by the Cafe owned by Nature.

Not long after Gibran came to bring food for Shafa. Randi chose to wait outside. Giving space so that Shafa can get close to his brother.

When Shafa was drinking water, Nature suddenly entered with a frenzy.

"Hallo bocil, my little boy. What happened to you?" said Alam immediately ran up to Shafa.

Shafa who happened to drink choked and spouted his drink right hit the face of Nature.

"Busyet! Come-come directly can spray. I'm not the patient of shaman times."

"But you are the Nature. Suitable to be his assistant mbah shaman. Then come over again kayak bullae rough," said Shafa while wiping the face of Nature with a blanket.

"Bet by! It's a pecing-smelly blanket!"

"Have a son! Brother Alam thinks I'm a baby who still likes bedwetting."

"Anyways!"

"Don't be afraid of drifting!"

"That's the Shafa river."

Shafa's smile easily came off when he met Nature.

Gibran frowned in surprise at Shafa and the man's interaction. There was much he did not know about his brother. Even Shafa was more familiar with others.

"Oh yes Brother Nature is Brother Gibran."

The two men shook hands with each other. Then Gibran chose to sit on the sofa while playing his phone.

"Man huwa Fa?" ask Nature slowly.

(who is he Fa?)

"Akhi kabir."

"Serious Fa! Pantesan juteknya like persimmon halved with you."

"Sister Gibran is really cool. He's the same as the new guy."

"It's By the way on the bus way you could end up in the hospital losing a duel?"

"It's not like they lost, brother, but they're cheating."

"Eat him a little boy don't be so hotheaded."

"I'm not a kid anymore. No more," Shafa said with emphasis.

Shafa poked his lips while Nature at his whim pulled the front end of the Shafa hijab. As a result, his entire face was covered in hijab. The sound of laughter began to decorate the room. Gibran was just a spectator there. It's not Shafa's fault that he's more comfortable joking around with other people. Gibran was grateful that Shafa was surrounded by people who loved him.

The days keep passing. Shafa's body condition has improved. Olivia and Steven's relationship is also getting closer. They often come to the hospital together. I haven't lived together but it's a good start. Steven prefers to stay in a hotel with Randi. They took turns to look after Shafa.

Every morning Gibran took Shafa to the hospital. He wanted to be closer to his sister.

"Gatma!" call Gibran by pushing Shafa's wheelchair.

"What's up, brother?" Shafa looked back.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No brother" Shafa replied quickly.

"Aren't you lying?" Gibran stopped at one of the park chairs and sat there.

"No Brother."

"Really?"

"Right Brother," Shafa replied with great emphasis.

"Who is Fachri?"

Shafa was shocked. Where did Gibran know about Fachri. Did anyone tell him?

Shafa immediately dismissed his nervousness. "Where do you know that name?"

"When you didn't realize yesterday, you said that name."

"Maybe it's just a subconscious illusion. Calling people names carelessly," Shafa said with a smile. I hope her brother doesn't ask any further.

"It can be."

Gibran again took Shafa around. He knew Shafa must be lying. He'll find out who Fachri is.

Today Shafa was able to leave the hospital. He asked Nature to bring him a contract. So that no one suspects. He could also reason that Nature was the boss of his former workplace.

On the way home, Shafa sees someone handing out food to street children. He asked Nature to pull the car over.

Shafa himself found it strange to see people standing facing the crowd of street children, so that all Shafa saw was the back of the person. It seems he's seen that back. But where? Shafa tried to dig up his memory. But I didn't get that memory.

"You remember Fachri?" ask Nature. He knows the habits of Fachri who likes to mingle with street children.

"Yes Brother. I miss him so much." Shafa's tears just flowed. "If I wasn't selfish then, Fachri would still be there now" he said.

"Already Fa. Fachri's contract in the world is over. Don't blame yourself! Let your heart accept his passing."

Alam returns to drive the car so that Shafa does not focus on something that reminds him of Fachri.

The car they were riding both stopped right in the rented house. Shafa is warmly welcomed by his friends who happen to be gathering at home.

"Who sent you the Fa?" ask Silvia. He saw Nature still standing beside the car.

"That's Brother Nature. My old friend and boss." Shafa looked at Nature who signaled that he was coming home. He waved his hand before Nature entered the car.

"Well, yeah. Don't let him be your girlfriend Fa!" guess Aira.

Shafa sat down on a couch joined by Alza and the others. "Not Ra. Just a friend."

"When did you come home suddenly Fa?" alza asked now.

"Yes Za. Suddenly there's business there."

Then Shafa went to the room to rest. He missed his little room. The room he had occupied for the past two years. Alza, Aira and Silvia were leaving for college that morning.

When she broke her body. Shafa remembered with Mr.A his message had not been able to reply.

Mr. A: Are you really well Ra?

Shafa typed in a reply for the message.

Thunder who was still with the street children, grabbed his phone when he heard the incoming message notification.

My Ara: Yes. I'm already well. Just got back from the hospital.

Mr. A: Yes, you have rested. Remember to take care of your health! Eat right, sleep right. Don't do anything heavy!

My Ara: Yes I understand. Bawel is so!

Mr.A: 😉 for your good Ara. Yes, yes, I played with the kids.

Shafa replied yes to the last message his phone received. Comfort always surrounded his heart when exchanging messages with his Mr. A. Feeling bored alone at home Shafa also chose to go out to his favorite place.
