Nightfall.
Abraham tried to get close to his two sons who, since morning, did not want to talk to him. Abraham understood the attitude of Arshad and Ashraf as such. After all, who would not be disappointed if all this time lied to by his own family, moreover it was their father.
From morning until after the prayer time, Ema was the one who accompanied the two boys.
And fortunately, Ema's presence made both Arsyad and Ashraf a little calmer.
That night, Abraham wished that Dyah would come to stay at his house. However, that night Dyah was still in the house of his parents and will be until before 9 pm.
“Arsyad.. Ashraf.” Abraham tried to approach the two who were in bed while covering their entire bodies with a blanket.
Arsyad and Ashraf, who had not yet slept, finally chose to open a blanket that covered their entire body.
Abraham smiled and tried to approach his two young sons.
“You're still mad at Daddy?” abraham pointed to himself.
Arsyad and Ashraf agreed with their father's question very softly.
“Sorry, just an apology your father can say at this time. You must be very disappointed with Dad,” Abraham said as he lowered his head.
Abraham regretted his deed that had lied to Arshad and Ashraf. In fact, Abraham more often lied to his second son, Ashraf who missed the affection of his beloved Mother.
At the same time, Abraham's phone rang. Abraham took his cell phone in his pants pocket and began receiving phone calls from his nephew, Dyah.
“Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum. Uncle, it's Dyah. Dyah is already at the door of Uncle's house,” said Dyah at length and immediately disconnected the phone unilaterally.
Abraham put his smartphone back in his pocket and asked his two children to come down to welcome the arrival of Dyah with his tiny baby.
“Below there is already Kak Dyah and also the sister of Asyila. Come down!” bring Abraham with a smile.
Arsyad and Ashraf went down. However, they were still ducklings of their father.
The two walked down the stairs to welcome the arrival of Dyah and her baby.
Abraham could only follow his two sons from behind. After all, Arsyad and Ashraf must have been very disappointed with Abraham's lies all along.
Arsyad and Ashraf could not open the door because the two did not arrive. Both of them turned their heads towards their father. But, not saying a word.
Abraham, who understood their intentions, immediately unlocked the top of the door and the door opened.
“Assalamu’alaikum!” greet Dyah by giving his best smile to Arsyad and also Ashraf.
“Wa’alaikumsalam,” reply Abraham, Arsyad and also Ashraf.
“Kak Dyah's... Hiks .. hiks ..” Suddenly the two cried while hugging Dyah.
She was shocked and asked that the two stop crying.
“Dear sister Dyah, you stop crying. If you continue to cry like this, there is even Asyila also crying,” said Dyah.
Dyah showed her little baby face to Arsyad and Ashraf. In that instant, the two stopped crying.
“Have, don't cry anymore. Help Kak Dyah bring those things!” dyah Pinta.
Without thinking long, both of them compactly carry Dyah's belongings that if they can bring.
Abraham smiled faintly, though his heart was very sad that neither Arshad nor Ashraf would speak to him.
Fahmi suddenly comes and immediately scraps the suitcase that has not been brought in.
“Uncle, why daydream?” ask Fahmi.
“From home, there are items to take home. Oya, Dyah has gone inside?”
“Already. Arsyad and Ashraf are also in the room, ” replied Abraham.
Fahmi gave a small nod and immediately went inside the house.
Now, only Abraham still stands alone and confused what to do.
In his soul, he was so fragile and filled with guilt.
It was natural for his two sons not to smile at him.
And Abraham admitted his guilt, which had lied to his two sons, and Ashraf, for a long time.
“Uncle.. Does Uncle constantly blame himself Uncle? Dyah will try to make Arsyad and Ashraf understand. Now, Uncle, rest in the room. Let Arsyad and our Ashraf take care of it,” Dyah said.
“Alright, Uncle leave Uncle's children to Dyah and also Fahmi,” reply Abraham and saunter away to his room.
Next morning.
After performing the congregational dawn prayers at the mosque, Abraham decided to go to the company. This was done because Abraham wanted to calm himself and did not want to see the sad face of Arshad and Ashraf. Not to mention when Arsyad and Ashraf chose not to say hello to their father on their return from the mosque.
“Uncle where you going? Why is it so neat?” asked Dyah who at that time accidentally saw Abraham who would be standing at the door of the house.
“Uncle has business. Please pay attention to Arsyad and Ashraf. They have to have breakfast on time, sorry for inconveniencing you and also Fahmi,” said Abraham.
Dyah quickly shook her head, “Uncle don't talk like that anymore. Who is bothered too? Precisely, we are very happy because Asyila has a friend,” reply Dyah.
Abraham did not want to linger, he was saying goodbye and rushed into the car to travel to his company.
“Where to go, Brother Dyah?” arsyad asked when he accidentally saw his father's car coming out of their yard.
“Dad has important business, so go,” reply Dyah.
Arsyad bowed his head and felt guilty for ignoring his father.
“Arsyad why even sad?” dyah asked while crouching down and trying to touch his sister's cheeks.
“Arsyad misses Mother. Father now must be sad because Arsyad from yesterday did not want to talk to Dad,” explained Arsyad and immediately cried.
Who is not sad if abandoned by a loved one. That is what Arshad felt. At her age which is still very small, she must lose the figure of her mother forever. Now, there is no longer a figure that always reminds him to eat, bathe, pray and others.
“Ssuutts... Arsyad if you miss Mother, Arsyad must often send Do'a. And one more thing, Arsyad has to apologize to Dad when Dad gets home. Arsyad can?”
Not thinking anymore, Arsyad agreed with what Dyah said.
In fact, Arsyad will invite his sister to greet their father again.
“Nah, it's the new son of Father Abraham and also Mother Asyila,” praise Dyah.
Arsyad wiped his tears and ran up the stairs.
“Arsyad!” call Dyah.
Arsyad stopped his steps and turned towards Dyah.
“Arsyad would like to send Do'a to Mommy,” said Arsyad and continued his steps to immediately enter his room.
Arsyad took ablution water with tears that kept dripping. He misses his mother very much and hopes that his father's words are a lie.
“Hiks... Hix... Mother.” Arsyad cried and kept calling her Mother's name.
