Thunder on Earth Love

Marital Accad

"I can't accept your sister's proposal, Syifa. I had rejected him at that time" Shafa said without diminishing his respect for Syifa.

Alza was surprised. This means that Afif had previously proposed to Shafa. It's worth the look Afif eyes when meeting Shafa dipesantren very different. Turns out this is the reason.

"What makes Ms Shafa unable to accept my sister? Please explain to me!" syifa Pinta. His sister had already told him about Shafa. So, Syifa wanted to know why Shafa rejected her brother's feelings.

Shafa looked teary-eyed. Why should his life be this complicated. If Fachri were still there, it would not be like this. Shafa's heart whimpered, remembering her late husband.

"I'm very inappropriate for gus Afif. I'm just a dirty girl, Syifa. My past is filled with black graffiti" Shafa said, strengthening his heart.

Syifa clasped Shafa's hand and looked expectantly. "Please explain to me Ma'am! So that Brother Afif can accept the reason Mbak rejected it," urged Syifa.

"Alright but you have to promise to keep this a secret. I believe you are a trustworthy person."

Syifa and Alza nodded. They will keep their secrets well.

"I'm actually a widow."

Shafa's words have also made Syifa and Alza surprised not to play. It's hard to believe that Shafa was married. Especially the status of a widow. Is this just a joke? Alza doesn't understand. Until Shafa opened his voice again. Tells me how his past life was.

Shafa recounts his life in Jakarta full of freedom. Often go out at night and participate in wild races. The relationship was normal for him. Until his chastity is taken away by his lover. Then his encounter with Fachri could turn him into what he is today.

Syifa and Alza also shed tears hearing Shafa's words. Then Syifa decided to go home. Now she knows the reason why Shafa rejected her brother. Reason that makes sense. Shafa is still stuck with his past feelings.

"So this is why you don't want to open up to us Fa?" ask Alza. Now they're the two in the guest room. Shafa just nodded.

"Do you have a family too?" ask Alza again.

This time Shafa opened his voice. "Yes Za. They're my foster family. My real parents have been dead since I was a kid. I hope you can keep this a secret until the time I will be honest with Aira and Silvia" Shafa said.

"Let's just calm down Fa. I'll keep my promise." Alza hugged Shafa. He knew his best friend needed a backrest.

Night at the house of thunder

All the families gathered in the dining room. They were having dinner together. Afterwards, Thunder and Samuel relaxed in the family room. They play games there.

Faisal and Sonia also followed, seeing the excitement of two different-age youths who were engrossed in playing.

"Where's Gun Papa's choice candidate? Beautiful is! Sholehah again" said Faisal proudly.

Thunder stopped his play and sat down next to his mother. "This time Papa really. Thunder can not refuse anymore," he said while sleeping on his mother's lap.

"You look so happy now!" exciting mom Sonia.

"Where unhappy, Brother Guntur has met him!" Samuel chimed.

Sonia rubbed her son's head gently. "Mama seneng look at you like gini. Not hazy like yesterday," said Sonia.

"Sorry Ma!"

"Winning it with old people first. Don't just play! Papa would've chosen the best for you, Gun." Faisal said again.

"Yes Pa. Papa is indeed the best anyway," said Guntur with sumringah. Still in the lap of my mom.

Sonia was getting more and more anxious about her son's behavior. He ruffled a big baby's hair in his nuisance.

"What's the mama?" thunder Protest.

"You are old still spoiled with Mama" taunted the father.

"Belvin. Thunder is married."

Faisal clung to his wife. "The replacement of Papa dong Ma who is in the manjain," he said while glancing his eyes.

The thunder woke up to sit down. "Sana deh Ma's. Manjain baby big Mama."

A loud clap landed on Thunder's boat. "You're the big baby!" sonia's nagging then went to the room followed by her husband.

Samuel was just giggling at the family's behavior. He missed both his parents. They also often joked like Thunder's parents. Samuel's face turned flat. He could not look sad in front of his cousin. Can bully him out.

"Where are you Sam?" thunder asked when he saw his brother move his legs.

Samuel answered without looking. "Gue wants to sleep. Tired." His footsteps had already stepped on the stairs leading to the room.

The thunder quickly followed. "Tomorrow I'll find a ring for Shafa." Thunder had already managed to embrace Samuel's shoulder.

"Yes" Samuel answered briefly. Then go into his room.

Although Thunder felt a bit strange with Samuel's attitude. But he didn't get dizzy. His sister could always solve her own problems. Although often acting silly but actually Samuel can be mature in his place.

Thunder immediately went into the room to rest.

*****

The days keep rolling. Silvia still silenced Shafa without anyone knowing why. No one dared to interfere with Silvia's personal affairs. He only answered as necessary when Shafa asked.

The wedding ceremony was held at the groom's house. At 9am the show will start.

Shafa was ready with a white kebaya that made himself look graceful.

On the other hand Thunder had already prepared with a white shirt and a black suit. He also sat facing the head of the head to do the ijab qobul.

Shafa deliberately asked to be in a separate place during the process of ijab qobul. She is accompanied by Mama Olivia and also Mama Sonia. Without knowing it, Olivia also invited her best friend. More precisely, mama Aldi. Samuel's parents also came. Of course it treated the young man's longing for his parents.

The atmosphere becomes silent when the penghulu has done the process of ijab. Shafa's heart rippled as he heard Thunder say a string of sentences to justify himself. Moreover, the voice of "Sah" was simultaneously spoken by the witnesses. Only this time did she feel like a real bride. Because Fachri married her when she was unconscious.

After completion Shafa is led to approach the man who is now legally her husband. Somehow a sense of haru and a calmness can envelop his mind. What else when he shakes Thunder. The man held his shoulder while saying a prayer and then warmly dyed his crown. It was like casting a beautiful light in his heart.

Shafa's soul really rippled. Tears almost fell, but Shafa held it back. Everyone looked happy to see the union of the two human children. Not to forget also they pin each other wedding rings on the fingers of their partners.

Congratulations on changing from the guests. They do look harmonious. Handsome and charismatic thunder with his sturdy body and graceful-looking Shafa.

Many guests have left the place. Unexpectedly, Aldi was also present there.

"Congratulations to the Fa! May you always be happy!" aldi said before leaving.

As much as possible, Shafa smiled at her. Thunder grabbed his wife's shoulder. "He will be happy. Thanks for coming!" Thunder spoke in a friendly manner. He knows that Aldi is part of his wife's past.

Then Aldi and his mother went home. Samuel also missed his parents.

All guests have gone home. Guntur invites Shafa to the room to change clothes.

Thunder changed his clothes in the bathroom. Shafa opened the suitcase that had been prepared by his mother. Because there's no way Shafa can bring a lot of clothes from his contract. So mama Olivia took the initiative to prepare her daughter's clothes.

After Thunder finished now replace Shafa who entered the bathroom. There was no conversation between the two. The awkwardness must still be lingering in them.

Now Thunder and Shafa went downstairs in casual clothes. The parents smiled happily at the newlyweds. After lunch Shafa's parents came home. Likewise with Gibran, he hugged his sister tightly.

"Please take good care of Shafa! And I hope you can be patient with him" Gibran said before leaving.

"I must have taken good care of him, brother." Thunder hugged his brother-in-law.

They split up when Steven and Olivia took Gibran in the car.

Shafa and Gibran went back inside. The house is empty. Maybe everyone is resting. They both decided to rest in their rooms.

"You just sleep! I still have to check the office work." Thunder took his laptop and sat down on the sofa.

Instead of sleeping, Shafa chose to sit on the balcony enjoying a new atmosphere. The thunder allowed that.

The atmosphere still seemed stiff between the two of them. It takes time to melt the ice between them. Thunder should be the most patient person in this situation.

At night, Shafa went to bed first. From earlier Guntur prefers to busy themselves with his office work.

He looked at the face of his wife who was asleep. The girl he had loved for so many years, had now become his wife. But he must be able to pierce through Shafa's heart and bring him out of the past.

Slowly Thunder kissed Shafa's forehead gently. I love you Shafa fikriyatuz Zahra. Thunder Mumbles.

Even though I have to love you in silence

But my feelings are sincere with you

Like the sincerity of the stars adorn the sky

Gives a beautiful color to the darkness of the night

Thunder left his room. As per his agreement with Shafa, he will not touch his wife until the girl is ready.

Then Thunder slipped into Samuel's room. He threw his body down next to the young man who was asleep.

"Lo wrong room woy! I'm not your wife." cried Samuel when he realized his brother was there.

"Sleeping tonight is Sam" said Guntur lazily.

Samuel sat himself on the bed. "Lo's supposed to split duren. It's even run off to my room."

"The curent is not yet dead. Not ready to be split yet" replied the Thunder.

Samuel ruffled his hair, dizzy with his cousin's behavior. "So much as you do, brother!" Samuel turned back his body. His eyes were dominated by drowsiness. Thunder himself had fallen asleep next to him.
