Abraham and Asyila 2

Arsyad And Ashraf Unspirited

A few days later.

The time for Arsyad to take another vacation will come to an end. And that is when Abraham will again part with his two children with his wife.

The house that used to be filled with happiness, will soon become very quiet and meaningless.

Every day, Abraham hopes that in the future he can continue to live and guide his children to become a better person. Although, sometimes Abraham was afraid to go through it alone without any encouragement figure, namely, the beloved wife.

Not to mention when Arsyad and Ashraf who is now suddenly a quiet child. Both of them are not like they used to be so excited and so jolly. Now, all that is seen is two small children whose work is just sitting, eating, watching television without a joke of laughter from the two of them.

In fact, Abraham had repeatedly tried to comfort both of them. But the results remain the same. They were silent and not as noisy as before.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Kahfi while carrying a stainless bushel that is somehow contained.

Abraham, who heard the greeting, immediately approached the voice.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, loh no Kahfi. Login baby!” With a big smile, Abraham invited Kahfi to come in.

Kahfi eagerly went inside and handed the stainless to Abraham.

“What is this Nak?” abraham asked, accepting the mantle.

“The same green bean porridge from Mama,” replied Kahfi while smiling shyly when saying jengkol stew.

Abraham chuckled and gently stroked Kahfi's hair.

“Thank you dear. Come on Kahfi sit down first, Dad will wash this bushel first to be clean,” said Abraham while continuing to smile kindly to Kahfi, the baby of Ema and also Yogi.

“No need Dad. Mama said Abraham's father did not need to wash it,” replied Kahfi following orders from his mother so that Abraham did not need to wash the stainless bushel.

“Masya Allah,” praise Abraham and continue his desire to wash the stainless cloth so that Ema does not need to wash it again.

Kahfi, who was sitting in the living room, was eager to meet Arsyad and Ashraf. Not thinking much, the boy moved from his seat and tried to find the whereabouts of Arshad and Ashraf.

He continued to walk up the stairs and finally met the two who were sitting leaning against the wall while looking at a picture frame.

Kahfi looked down miserably and finally undoed her intention to approach the two.

When Kahfi came down the stairs, Abraham caught Kahfi looking sad.

“Kahfi from above? Why sad?” ask Abraham and hold Kahfi's body.

Kahfi did not say much, he only said that he was sad because he could not play with Arsyad and Ashraf.

This was not because Abraham forbade him from playing. However, because both of his children are still grieving and have not been able to fully accept the death of their beloved Mother.

“Kahfi don't be sad anymore huh. I will try to get them to play again with Kahfi. Kahfi agrees?”

Kahfi smiled and confirmed Abraham's words.

“Good, then Daddy love this for Kahfi!” Abraham smiled widely and gave the strawberry-flavored ice cream to Kahfi.

Kahfi smiled widely and did not forget to thank Abraham for the ice cream.

“Now Kahfi do not be sad anymore and thank you for the bean porridge and its jengkol stew. Father, Brother Arsyad and Ashraf will definitely spend it,” said Abraham.

Kahfi smiled and went home.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” Kahfi said and walked away from Abraham's residence.

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” reply Abraham while continuing to wave his hand.

After Kahfi was completely invisible again, Abraham decided to immediately meet his two little sons who were of course still sad.

“Arshad, Ashraf! Come down, we'll have lunch together!” take Abraham.

Arsyad turned to his father and gave a small nod.

“Sini, let the photo of Mother Asyila Daddy bring,” said Abraham and took the photo. Then, ask her two children to wait for her in the dining room.

A few minutes later.

Abraham smiled, seeing that both of his children were sitting in their seats.

“See, there is green bean porridge and also jengkol stew. Hey guess, who delivers green bean porridge and also jengkol stew?” ask Abraham and hope that both of his children will respond to his questions.

Instead of answering, Arsyad and Ashraf shook their heads.

“Come dong, answered!” pinta Abraham and once again both shook their heads.

Abraham finally gave up and asked the two to have lunch soon.

“Yes already if you do not want to answer. But, Dad told me yes. That one here is Kahfi. Do you guys not miss playing with Kahfi?” ask Abraham.

Arsyad and Ashraf shook their heads again.

“Arsyad and Ashraf why not get excited like you used to? Do you want to be like this constantly? Do you want to see Dad every day sad thinking about you guys who are not excited like this?” abraham asked for understanding from both of his hearts.

Abraham bowed in lethargy and immediately left his two hearts.

Seeing his father who was very sad, Arsyad could only shut up and invite his sister to eat immediately.

They both ate very little portions, no more than 3 tablespoons.

“Come to room!” take Arsyad and hold his sister's hand to immediately go to their room.

On the other hand, Abraham cried in the room he used to occupy with his wife.

He wept as he remembered the times when his wife was by his side. Abraham understood that taking care of children was not easy. Only the wife could persuade their children when both Arshad and Ashraf were difficult to deal with.

When Abraham was crying, Abraham's cell phone rang and Abraham quickly wiped away his tears.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Abraham.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, you won?” ask a man on the phone who is none other than Yogi.

“No, what did you contact me with?” ask Abraham.

“There is a problem in the office, you come here!” the Pinta Yogi chose to believe what Abraham said.

“Alright, I will go there in 1 hour,” reply Abraham.

Yogi agreed and ended their conversation on the phone.

After receiving a phone call from his best friend, Yogi. Abraham decided to meet his two children and asked them to stay at home while he was in the office.

Arsyad and Ashraf simply nodded obediently without saying a word to their father.

Before leaving, Abraham contacted Dyah in order to take care of his two children. However, Dyah was not in the housing of Absyil but was in the house of his parents.

Inevitably Abraham finally left his two children alone at home and hoped that both of them obeyed the order from him not to get out of the house.

A few moments later.

Abraham was getting ready to go to his company and asked his two children to stay inside.

“Remember Dad's message. You guys stay in the house and you can't go out. Later I will contact Mama Ema to accompany you, ok! Now I have to go and God willing as soon as I come home,” said Abraham at length.

Arshad agreed and at once Abraham smiled because his first son finally agreed, not nodding as before.

“Good, then Dad go first. Assalamu'alaikum!”

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” replied Arsyad and Ashraf very softly.

Abraham got into the car and did not forget to close the gate of the house to be safer. Later, he left Absyil's estate for his company.

After the departure of the Father to the company, Arsyad also invited his sister into the house. Right now, his sister is the responsibility for him and as a big brother he has to keep his sister from getting out of the house.

“Kok locked, Sis?” ashraf asked to see his brother lock the door.

“Remember Dad said, we must not go out,” replied Arsyad.

Arshad took his brother by the hand and brought his sister into the room. Ashraf initially refused because he was not sleepy. However, Arshad tried to persuade him and finally Ashraf wanted to go into the room.

Upon arrival in the room, Arshad chose to read the holy book of the Qur'an. While Ashraf, chose to look at the picture of his mother who was holding a small baby named Ashraf.

Ashraf looked at a picture of himself as a baby. Not felt, Ashraf's tears flowed and slowly he fell asleep while hugging the picture frame.

Almost half an hour Arshad read the holy book of the Quran, until finally he finished reading and decided to take a nap.

******

Afternoon.

Ashraf ran small to the family room to watch his favorite cartoon that was already airing at that time.

However, the usual remote control was on the table when it disappeared not knowing where.

He searched the remote control and still could not find it.

“Arsyad search what?” asked Arsyad who had just arrived in the living room and was looking at his sister who was busy looking for something.

“Remote television,” replied Ashraf without turning to his interlocutor.

Arsyad scrunched his forehead and went to look for the remote control.

For a long time they searched and finally Arsyad found him under the pillow.

“This is her remote, Ashraf!”

Ashraf smiled and didn't forget to say thank you.

Both of them watched their favorite cartoons.

While watching a cartoon, Ashraf suddenly heard a noise from the front of the house. Without a second thought, walked towards the living room and peeked at him from the window.

Ashraf was surprised to see many children his age who bravely opened the fence of his house compactly.

When Ashraf wanted to shout out to his Brother, his eyes suddenly caught a figure of a woman he was very familiar with.

“Bundaaaaa!” shouts Ashraf hysterically.

Ashraf continued to shout and immediately opened the door to go to the woman he had just called Mother.

Whaaat?? Who was Ashraf seeing?
