At a restaurant Guntur's parents and Shafa's parents had gathered. They talked about their business and their child's wedding plans.
Not long after, Thunder came with Samuel.
"Master Steven!" thunder as it nears.
Steven got up and welcomed Thunder. Steven himself was already familiar with Thunder when they worked on a hotel project with the late Fachri. "Hallo Thunder! Finally you come too" greeted Steven as he warmly embraced his future son-in-law.
"Thunder, meet my wife" Steven said after taking off his arms. Olivia stood up.
Thunder greeted Olivia with respect. Samuel also goes to Steven and Olivia.
"How are you Sam?" steven asked as they sat back down.
Samuel nodded. "Om OK!" answer later.
"Well, you know Mr Steven?" faisal cried to Samuel and Thunder.
"Samuel is my daughter's friend at school, if your son Guntur, he worked in my office in Jakarta. So I know them well" Steven said.
Faisal breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that the candidate of his besi already knows who his son is. "Thank God then. So this matchmaking process will be easier."
Thunder still did not understand the situation. Why is Mr. Steven there too. Wouldn't he meet his future wife.
"What's this really about?" ask Thunder.
Steven just smiled looking at Thunder who had not understood the situation. But no one answered, it seems that Shafa has come with Gibran.
"Well, this is the one we've been waiting for!" exclaim Steven.
Shafa also greeted his future father-in-law. And only cupped his hands together when faced with Thunder and Samuel.
"Brah!" shrieked Shafa between surprised and happy. A sweet smile instantly expanded on her beautiful face. All this time he thought he could only relate through messages. But now they have been found.
Somehow Shafa had hoped that Samuel was the man who was betrothed by his father. If not, Shafa had hoped that who had been a friend through a mobile phone was not Samuel. Except for everyone else.
"Hi Shafa!" samuel's greeting was a bit awkward.
"I'm so glad Sam could see you again. Every time I meet you, you always refuse" Shafa said without feeling awkward.
"Sorry, I'm busy with the Fa thesis!" said Samuel.
Shafa also felt strange. Usually Samuel used my call to you when they exchanged messages.
"It was the Fa. Talk to Samuel later. Now we discuss your marriage with Thunder," said Olivia softly.
Shafa was silent. He glanced at the man sitting next to Samuel. The man who was silent from earlier.
"Yes Shafa. Later after marrying Guntur, you and Samuel must meet every day because he lives with us" said Sonia kindly as yesterday when she first met Shafa.
Thunder itself is between feeling happy and also worried. Glad that Shafa is the girl he's been betrothed to. Worried that someday he'll let the girl down.
Parents also discuss the marriage contract plan that will be held simply. The reception will be held after Shafa graduates. Everyone has agreed that the wedding ceremony will be held on Saturday.
"Sorry before! May I speak with Thunder first!" shafa Pinta.
Everyone agreed to Shafa's request. Thunder rose from his seat.
"We're talking somewhere else. Sam, come with us" Shafa said.
The three of them left the restaurant. Shafa takes them to Nature's Cafe. It must have been a little quiet at curfew. So Shafa can freely talk about private things.
"OKs. I just went straight to my purpose of bringing her here. I want to make a deal that only the three of us know" Shafa said as they sat in a comfortable place.
"Lo want to make a deal on what Fa?" Samuel spoke up.
"I want to make some kind of pre-wedding agreement." Shafa took the map from inside his bag.
Thunder read the contents of the map that Shafa gave. He did not mind the deal that Shafa requested.
"All right, I agree! But there is no need to make a written agreement. You take it easy, I will obey all your will after we get married. I'm not gonna sue for anything. But I have one request..," Thunder hung up his sentence.
"I'll tell you after we're legally husband and wife."
"All right! We agreed. Sam, here you are a witness. So don't talk to anyone."
"OKs. I'll shut up. But I hope you will live happily someday. Don't make a deal that will make you regret it!" samuel said.
Shafa went to the kitchen to prepare his own food. It didn't take long for Shafa to return with their dinner menu, aided by a servant.
"Duh, you've just noticed the same Brother Thunder!" exclaim Samuel.
"You shut up! Pack eating!" Shafa glanced at Thunder who did not say much. Even the man easily agreed to the deal made by him. Shafa also knows himself as a wife he must serve his obligations someday. But all of that takes process. He must adapt to new circumstances and status later.
Somehow there was a strange taste in his heart when he looked at Thunder. He also remembers meeting the man several times. There is a sense of his own when he is near him and speaks directly.
"Later to take you home the contract. You don't mind?" thunder asked after they finished eating.
There was something that prompted Shafa's heart not to refuse. He also agreed.
"If that's what I am first! Shafa, nitip Brother Thunder yes. Nitip keep his heart he means. Kasian from yesterday was worried about him." Samuel went first.
Shafa could only gawk not understanding the intentions of his old friend. Then Thunder invited him home. On the way, he did not dare to talk much. Shafa directed his gaze out the window. Thunder himself was confused as to what to ask. Because he knows everything about the girl next to him. Something Shafa knows nothing about.
"Thunder!"
"Gatma!"
Unknowingly, the two spoke together. Then the mood of silence returned. Until one of them opens his voice.
"Do you mind this match?" The thunder asked first.
Shafa glanced at Thunder, then his gaze returned straight ahead. "Doubt doesn't mind that I still have to go. I can't resist Daddy's request. He has been taking care of me from childhood. He knows what's best for his daughter. How about yourself?"
"Same. I also could not bear to refuse the request of mom and dad. Sorry, my engagement time didn't come. I'm really sorry to make you feel like I don't appreciate it" Thunder said seriously.
"How much do you appreciate me? One J, one M, or one T?" shafa asked jokingly. Without realizing it, it turns out he can be comfortable with people who can be said to be new to him. And first of all, they talk to each other.
"I appreciate it with a K. With a sincerity that will guide us to His RIDloo."
Shafa gasped at the words of her future husband. Does that mean Thunder will be a good priest for him? For a moment the presence of the man could shift the name of Fachri from his comfort zone. Shafa can get out of the zone for a moment. He began to feel a new mood in his heart.
"My principle is to marry once in a lifetime. I don't want to play with the sacred promise of marriage. I hope God will accept that. Even though I knew everything had to go through with a struggle. I wish you would fight with me."
Shafa could only be silent. His tongue could no longer say. She began to feel the shock of admiration for her future husband. Tears do not want to compromise. It's easy to escape. Shafa rubbed his tears against the window.
The atmosphere became quiet again until the rented house of Shafa.
"See you later. Assalamu'alaikum!" Thunder left in his car.
"Wa'alaikumsalam!" shafa replied softly staring at Thunder's car until it disappeared from his sight.
He immediately entered the room after greeting his friends who were in the guest room. Except for Silvia who is invisible. Maybe he's in the room.
Shafa sloshed himself. There was an unusual feeling surrounding his heart. It was as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. He who does not understand the taste continues to beristighfar. Afraid if it was just a devil trick to let her off guard. Afraid that tomorrow suddenly something unwanted will happen.
