30 Days Before the Farewell
lonely without the presence of her sister sifa
Morning arrived, the time showed at 06.00 WIB, everyone was ready with their respective activities including Nadira. That morning Nadira looks neat and fragrant, she is ready to go with doctor Reza, today they have a wedding dress fittings in a boutique not far from the house of the doctor.
"Mother.." said Ilham calling his mother who was still sitting in front of the dressing table. Inspiration to see the reflection of her mother's face from the mirror, her mother was so cheerful, she dressed up in a daze in front of the glass with a radiant face made this one child feel reluctant.
"What's up, son?" Nadira smiled. Nadira did not turn his head towards Ilham, he only noticed the Inspiration from the mirror alone with his hands still busy polishing his face.
"Now that the mother has really changed, usually also the mother is not rich in gini, why now the mother becomes visible to the gentil" inner Inspiration. Apparently the boy did not like to see his mother polishing such a face, for him such behavior was only done by women women only centil only. True inspiration is not unusual to see such a sight.
Ilham did not answer Nadira's question, he just kept quiet and walked away from the room to the room bi minah.
"Ilham.' Where are you going, son?" Shouted Nadira who saw Ilham move, but he did not pursue her because indeed he had not done making up. Today Nadira wants to look beautiful in front of her future husband, she wants to look fresher so that everyone who sees her feels comfortable.
In bi Minah's room.
"Assalamualaikum bi, this is Ilham" cried Ilham in front of the door bi Minah room.

"Auntie, this is Inspiration" cried Inspiration again. Bi Minah did not open the door of her room because she was busy at the back, that morning bi Minah was busy washing clothes so she did not hear Ilham yells to call her.
"Where is aunt? Is it possible that aunt is busy?" Inspiration asked. "I am ahead ah! At this hour Pak Karyo must be hanging out in front of the gate" said Ilham.
Because of the upset inspiration also walked away from the room bi Minah towards the place of Pak Karyo, he had just separated from Sifa for a few hours but it felt he was very saturated, he was very saturated, he felt very lonely without Sifa by his side.
"Sir Karyo.." cried Ilham waved his hand from the front door of the house.
"What's up, son? right here!!" Shouted mr. Karyo. Mr. Karyo also waved his hand inviting Ilham to sit beside him while enjoying a warm cup of coffee.
Seeing Pak Karyo who was cool to enjoy coffee while listening to Sunda Ilham music was interested and approached him.
"Where is this handsome guy going? Morning is neat" asked Pak Karyo smiling seductively Ilham. Inspiration Pun who saw him smile with the behavior of Mr. Karyo.
"Where sir, Ilham sat still at home continues" replied Ilham. The boy sat next to Pak Karyo while enjoying a fried banana made by Pak Karyo.
"Usually also play the same non Sifa, how the fried banana made by mamang, good?" Ask Mr. Karyo who saw Ilham taste his fried banana. Mr. Karyo looks very happy to be accompanied by Ilham this morning.
"Sifa there is no Karyo" replied Ilham. Ilham was immediately dumbfounded when he mentioned the name Sifa, he so remembered yesterday when his sister played with his father they look very happy to make Ilham feel sad. Ilham actually wanted to play with his father even he wanted to pour out his longing all this time but Ilham was still very upset with his father so he did not dare to approach him in the near future.
"Sifa did nginep at the father's house, sir, did Pak Karyo not know what?"
"Mamang really do not know oruh den, yesterday mamang was not at home, if non Sifa nginep in the house of Aden's father why den Ilham why not go nginep? It's appropriate that den Ilham nyamperin mamang mamang morning turns out that his playmate does not exist" replied Pak Karyo while raising his lips a little. Mr. Karyo just found out that the two of them have met his father. Mr. Karyo really did not know what happened in the house because yesterday he was not at home. Mr. Karyo just returned from out of town with Mr. Bram, yesterday he drove Mr. Bram take care of his project outside the city.
Mr. Karyo continued to talk in front of Ilham telling his funny experience outside the city with Mr. Bram, he tried to entertain the boy, but Ilham still dumb himself, he was still alone, he does not seem to be able to play with the guyonan Pak Karyo makes Pak Karyo who saw him confused to do what else to invite him to play.
"Den Ilham why? Not usually he is rich gini, usually he also likes to laugh when the story is funny, but now how to bengong aja yes, there must be a problem, guess what problem? Kasian!" Mr. Karyo asked.
Because of seeing Ilham who kept daydreaming like this, Pak Karyo so wanted to take him for a walk in the morning, he wanted to comfort the child so that he would not be sad anymore.
"We walk the road yu den! Jogging!?" Take Mr. Karyo with a smile. Mr. Karyo moved his eyebrows facing towards Ilham making Ilham unable to hold his laughter.
"Jogging?" Ask Inspiration. "Did Mr Karyo like to jog?" Ask Inspiration again.
"Oh, of course, den Ilham did not know? How's den? Wanna don't?" Mr. Karyo kept pushing the boy.
"Come mang!" answer Ilham smile. Ilham felt attracted by Mr. Karyo's invitation, rather than him staying at home continuing to see what he did not like so he better leave.
They also began to move from the luxurious house to walk out, Ilham followed the footsteps of Mr. Karyo who walked first from him, Ilham, he looks very happy to be able to walk the morning road with Pak Karyo so he can enjoy the cool morning breeze while comforting his heart which is being overwhelmed with sadness.
"So why den Ilham bengong bengong bengong rich like den? There's a problem again, right? Does Aden want to see Aden's father? Aden just talk, then let mamang deliver" asked Pak Karyo want to know.
"Ilham is not papa kok pak Karyo" replied Ilham lowered his head.
"Den Ilham do not lie with mamang, mamang really want anterin really, den Ilham want to go to Aden's father's house right? Den Ilham's father must be happy to mamang anterin Aden to his house" said Mr. Karyo again. Mr. Karyo thought Ilham wanted to gather with his father and sister when he was not, Ilham daydreamed like that because he thought about his mother who began to change, he actually did not like to see his mother fittings bridal clothes today. Moreover, even though Nadira did not speak to him first, Nadira did not ask for the opinion of Ilham, making Ilham feel unappreciated by the mother.
Hearing the words of Mr. Karyo ilham also stopped his steps, Ilham approached a bes in that place and sat there, Ilham felt lazy to hear the talk of Pak Karyo who always lead to his father and sister, Ilham, he did not know that in fact Ilham was very upset with all of them, those who cause Ilham to always daydream alone.
"Sir Karyo, is it true that you're happy that I'm at his house?" Suddenly the boy asked like that to Pa Karyo. It felt like he was giving up on all this, he was unwilling to sacrifice his feelings, this time Ilham thought that if he would not side with anyone, he would only care about the person who cared about him, whether it was his parents or someone else.
Mr. Karyo approached Ilham and sat down next to him. "Yes must be happy atuh, the father of Ilham would be very happy to be able to gather together with Ilham and non Sifa, which parents are not happy to be close to their children or den, mamang also wants Deket to continue with mamang children, but unfortunately mamang can not" replied Pak Karyo lowered his head. Mr. Karyo looks very sad because he has to soak his longing to his children in the village.
"Mmmh like that huh mang, means that if now Ilham to the house of father, father would surely be seneng ya mang?" Ask the Inspiration again.
"Of course, why? Inspiration to take antherin to dad's house?" Mr. Karyo asked Ilham.
"Boleh Mr. Karyo, Ilham want to play to the house of the father, all want to see Sifa, Ilham saturated in the house of the doctor continued, Mother same doctor kept busy sir, sir, they have no time for Inspiration" Inspiration replied with teary eyes. Because the inspiration of his mother never had time for him again, the inspiration also chose to play to his father's house, he wanted to meet with Sifa because only Sifa was always entertaining him at all times. Ilham felt lonely without the presence of his sister so he forced himself to come there.
