Thunder on Earth Love

Charm

In the morning, Thunder returned to the room. He saw that Shafa was ready with his face. Thunder asked Shafa to wait for him. Not long ago Thunder was ready with cocoa clothes. Makes him look more charming. Shafa was also carried away by feelings. It was undeniable that he was also drifting in the charm of Thunder. The man who just married her. But that sense was immediately removed. His mind tried hard to resist but his heart could not lie.

For the first time, Shafa again felt that he had a priest. His heart also felt the martyrdom of hearing the chanting of the verse spoken from the lips of Thunder. It was unexpected that her husband was a pious figure as well.

After finishing performing the ritual of Shahuh, Thunder took the Qur'an which he stored in a shelf at the end of his room. With a soul still misty for her admiration for Thunder, she enjoyed every single note of the verse that came out of her husband's voice.

No tears began to fade, he remembered back to the figure of Fachri. God is like sending Fachri back to him in the form of someone else. Is he able to withstand the uncertain turmoil of his heart?

On the other hand his heart is still tied in love with Fachri. But in her present reality, she is remarried and obligated to devote herself to her husband wholeheartedly. He seems incapable of doing that.

"You remember Fachri?" the voice of Thunder resuscitated the wife from the chaos of her heart. Of course, the man is very understanding of what the woman feels in front of him. For about four years he loved the girl in silence.

Shafa nodded slowly while wiping his tears. "I'm sorry!" lirih.

"It's okay. I understand Shafa. I also do not forbid you to always keep Fachri in your memories. He was also a good friend and teacher to me. You certainly know I used to work in your father's company with Fachri," Guntur said in a soft voice. Although there is a slight sense of slashed, but he does not want to be selfish by just attach importance to his feelings without caring about what is felt by Shafa.

"Yes, Samuel told me once" Shafa said without looking at Thunder before him.

The heart of Thunder seemed to be in pain to see the person he loved crying. It was not tears for him. But for someone else who's gone.

"I'm sorry for my selfishness!" shafa said again as he rose from his seat to fold his face.

Thunder was still silent in his sitting. Until Shafa disappears from his sight behind the door.

"You're not selfish Shafa. You just can't accept reality yet" muttered Thunder alone.

Shafa himself headed towards the crater. He wanted to help cook in the kitchen. There was a maid there who was preparing cooking ingredients.

"What do you want to cook Bik?" shafa asked kindly.

The middle-aged maid smiled welcoming her new miss. "Eh, Miss Shafa. This is Non, I want to cook seafood fried rice for breakfast," he replied later.

"That's Samuel's favorite menu, huh Bik?" Shafa also helped prepare the ingredients.

"Not Non, this is Thunder's favorite breakfast menu. If den Samuel likes fried rice as usual with eggs plucked," said the maid.

Shafa also felt strange. Didn't when in the chat, Samuel said he likes seafood fried rice. But this is even Thunder's favorite menu.

"Let me Bik make breakfast." Shafa takes over to make breakfast. He had to make two different breakfasts.

"Alright Non. I'll prepare the cooking ingredients for lunch."

"Oh yeah, what's your name aunt?" shafa asked while lighting the stove and preparing the frying pan.

"Call me Bik Minah, Non," replied the middle-aged woman who turned out to be named Minah.

Shafa smiled as he agreed to Minah's speech. He is very good at playing kitchen. Understandably, Shafa is used to cooking while working at the Cafe.

"Samuel loved vegetables so much, Bik, until Bibik took out a lot of vegetables!" shafa Exclamation.

"Non was wrong again. Who likes vegetables with thunder, if den Samuel is not so fond of vegetables."

Shafa was astonished. Why is everything inversely proportional to what he knows about Samuel. Everything she knew led to her own husband.

Finished cooking, Shafa returned to the room. On his way up, he saw Samuel coming out of his room humming. A pair of headsets are in the ear.

A gaze full of question marks appeared from the look in his eyes. But Samuel didn't realize that. He only greeted Shafa for a moment. Then come down.

Before Shafa entered the room, Samuel looked back at his old friend. There was something he could catch from Shafa's eyes.

"Aren't you at the office today?" shafa asked when he saw Thunder already looking fresh in casual clothes. Surely the man had taken a shower.

"No Shafa. How could papa let me into the office after a day of marriage. Get ready! I will take you where you want to go" said Guntur who then stepped out.

There was a sense of guilt in him. Shafa asked to stay in the rented building until the script was completed. It was the deal she had put her husband through.

*****

Everyone started breakfast together. Shafa had already taken a sitting position right beside Thunder. She also brought food for her husband.

"Bibik cuisine tumben feels different today? Better Bik," said Guntur when Bik Minah came to prepare a drink.

"That was Miss Shafa who cooked Den. Bibik where can cook the style of chef dishes such as Non Shafa," said Bik Minah who then resigned after putting drinks on the table.

Thunder fell silent as he glanced towards Shafa. Samuel who could read the situation immediately opened his voice.

"Uncle, Auntie, Sam's going to college first!" Samuel stood up and put on his backpack. Then greet his uncle and aunt.

"Sister, I'm leaving first huh. Enjoy the holidays!" Samuel patted Thunder on the shoulder. Then switch to the woman next to her cousin's sister. "Bye Shafa!" samuel then left.

"Be careful Sam!" exciting Faisal. Samuel flicked his finger to form the letter O.

Soon Faisal was also ready to go to the office. Thunder and Shafa were also saying goodbye. Shafa's going to college.

On the way, the two men did not talk much. Somehow they can survive the frost.

After a journey not so far away, they finally arrived.

"As per the agreement you requested, you may stay with your friends again. I'll be the one looking for an excuse if papa and mama ask," Guntur said before Shafa got out of the car.

Somehow there was a sense of weight that could hold him to get out of the car. But, Shafa's not his name if he's weak. He will remain at his initial stand.

"alright. Thanks!" Shafa got out of her husband's car.

Guntur immediately drove his car away from the campus parking lot. Shafa also immediately stepped his foot in. That day he had an appointment to meet with his supervisor.

******

"Thunder, where's Shafa?" asked Sonia's mother when she saw her son back alone.

Thunder approached his mother who was sitting on the sofa while reading the newspaper. "Shafa's busy with Ma's college."

"But you'll pick him up again, won't you?" ask Sonia again.

"No Ma, he will temporarily stay first with his friends. Thunder hopes Mama can understand Shafa's position. So that he is not depressed by this situation," Thunder said with a sad look.

Sonia rubbed her son's head with a smile. "Yes Dear. Mama will try to understand how you and Shafa are."

Thunder was back in the lap of the mother. Such a thing was the way he sought tranquility. And the real peace is in the mother's arms.

As a mother Sonia could feel the hardness of her son's heart. Thunder always comes in his lap when the son is sad or if there is a problem.

"I'm sorry Mama and Papa, Thunder! You have to be in a difficult position because of the wishes of both of us," said Sonia while continuing to buy the head of the son.

"Don't apologize Ma! Guntur was happy because Mama and Papa forced me to get married. If Mama and papa don't push, maybe Thunder can never be with Shafa. We just need time to get to know each other and get used to our new status. But rest assured Ma, Thunder is happy with this marriage." Thunder spoke while looking at his mother with a smile.

Sonia was moved by her son's words. "Thank you, baby!"

"Thunder should be thanking Mama."

Sonia also gave a small kiss on her son's forehead. Although he was an adult, Thunder was still his son. The son he always wanted to buy. He poured out his limitless love. Being someone who is always strengthening when a son needs encouragement.
