EL NATH (Glorious Regrets)
Chapter 36 An Alvarendra

Tonight Nath sat pensively by the pool. The clock had shown at 10 pm but his eyes were reluctant to be closed.

Tomorrow is a day full of history in his life. After a week he and Tiara do not meet, they will meet again tomorrow morning in front of the ruler.

I don't know what he feels. Not happy, not sad. But there was a sense of relief that he could finally make amends for his mistakes on Tiara.

He stared at the clear water reflecting the light of the pond. His brain thought of many questions.

We don't love each other, how long will this household last?

Can I maintain a marriage that has absolutely no love in it?

Tiara's good, she's beautiful but why love her still can't?

A week without seeing, it felt like something was missing, but I never missed wanting to meet.

Nath looked up at the star-studded sky watching his gloom. The man who tonight is his last night holds the status of single.

O God, You are turning over the hearts of men. Make the impossible I think possible. Make this marriage a source of happiness for us and our family. Make the blessing of our parents as the most mustajab prayer for the length of our household in the future.

"Nath ...." Nath turned his head as a soft voice of Latitude sounded in his ears. And Lintang's soft hand rubbed his shoulder.

Lintang sat next to his beloved son. He is the youngest in this house because Nair is Nath's brother even though they are twins.

"Ma ..." Nath smiled slightly and looked back to the front, towards the pool.

"Worry?" tanya Lintang rubbed her shoulders again.

Nath looked at his mother. He smiled and shook slowly. "No Ma?"

"Not thought it was at this point?" ask the latitude again.

Nath nodded. "Yes, Ma. Never thought the same as Nath. Two months ago, it was a mess. A moment of calm and a month is like counting down. Tik tok tik." Nath laughed softly.

The latitude looked straight ahead. "Doubt on the eve of marriage can be the devil's trick that shakes the hearts of men to worship God."

"Actually every test of marriage can make our households more harmonious and strong in the storm if we can pass it now, Nath."

"You've known Tiara for almost a year, mom and dad for only 3 months, Nath. And at that time only the sky knew papa."

Nath looked at his mother. Lintang smiled wiping her hair. "You, Star, Zoya, lucky boy. Marrying someone we know well. Rion, you know who he is. Bang Ezra, he's Bi's best friend and has been working with papa for a year as Zoya's brother's driver." Nath nodded.

"Tiara? He's not someone else, son. He's bang Ezra's sister. Her parents have been mom since Zoy's sister married Bang Ezra."

Nath nodded in understanding. "Fault first, don't make a benchmark for you avoiding and hating each other."

"Don't make marriage just your guilt-redeemer. Marriage is sacred, Nath. That kabul said is your promise before God, witnessed by angels and men."

"After the lawful word is spoken from the lips of the witnesses. Since then the responsibility for Tiara has moved on to you."

"Know this, bear great responsibility, Nath." The latitude holds both Nath's shoulders. Both are currently sitting facing each other.

"These must be strong, must not be broken." The cross wiped his tears. Actually, he is not ready to release a child that feels like just yesterday he is still a loving caretaker.

"You're papa's son. This heart is like papa." Latitude touches Nath's chest.

"The breastplate accepts Brother Bi and brother Zoy as his daughter."

"And El Nath Alvarendra, surely can cheerfully accept Tiara as his companion." Nath nodded in understanding. Slowly clear circles dripped without him asking.

"Love comes anytime, son. It can even be at first sight."

"Tiara accepted this marriage, it means she's ready to be your wife. He probably feels the same way Nath, he's not ready. But he's trying to accept you."

"He was even without protest willing to stay here. You can see her according to when mom asked to move her clothes in your room."

Nath sighed, his mother was right. "Ma, about that." Nath hesitated to say it.

"That?" Latitude frowned.

"Relationship ..."

Nath hesitated.

"Why, Nath?"

"Nath's afraid she's traumatized."

Latitude smile. "If she's traumatized, she can't possibly meet you, Nath. She can't be alone with you in the room. He doesn't want you to hug either."

Nath looked at his mother's face. "Ma, about the hug yesterday, Tiara's hugging, Ma."

The latitude frowned.

"Tia asked for permission to go to college after marriage, Ma. He wants to realize his father's wish, see him sitting on the back of college."

"Good dong." Latitude smile.

"Mama agrees?" A small smile rose on Nath's lips. At first he suspected Lintang would reject Tiara's wishes.

"Nath, women also need supplies. We don't know what's going on ahead. But at least we've prepared ourselves."

"Let him go to college, as long as it doesn't make you like strangers. Just so you're not getting away. As long as he can divide his time between you and his education."

Nath hugged his mother. "Thank you, Ma."

"For all your sorrow and happiness to Tiara, Nath. Take her and join hands in the path of good."

"Mama can only pray for happy mama's children to get to heaven."

"Amen."

"An Alvarendra cannot be weak." Akhtar's warm embrace made Nath and Lintang look up at the faces of the heroes in this family.

"You can't back down until you lose."

"Nath is getting married, Pa. Not war."

Akhtar laughing. "You're at war with your ego, Nath. Don't let the whisper of the devil and your bad side make your household feel like hell."

"Belcome is created. It doesn't come by itself when you don't do anything. So, go get Nath."

"You know you're a good man, a good boy."

"Thank you, Pa. Nath dear Mama-Papa." The warm embrace the tighter Nath felt. A loving family that never leaves each other even if one makes a mistake.

Because punishment is not just about staying away and silence. But about how to wake up.

Sometimes a child wants to be embraced, wants to be held captive when he is in guilt. Sharing a story sometimes can't be done to just anyone.

If the family has avoided itself, to whom will the story be shared?

When the dead end was in sight, when the big, solid wall he saw and could not pass. It is not impossible for a child to crash themselves (end life). But there is one way, which is to turn around and find another way.
