ALINEA LOVE

"Mister!! Watch out!!"

A man pulled a long-haired young woman who looked dazed and almost crossed the street without seeing the surroundings.

BRUUG

Tiiiiiiiinnnnn!!

Under the swift rain, two people rolled on the sidewalk to confiscate several other road users.

"Well, what's wrong?" ask the man in the black hat to the woman he helped. He helped the woman to sit down and check if there were any injuries on the body of the long-haired girl.

The woman stood up. Without saying anything he left the man who had helped him. He walked away and looked desperate. That's why the man who helped her was still following in her footsteps.

BRUG!

The woman's body suddenly collapsed, fell on the sidewalk and was unconscious.

"Mister!! Ma'am!!"

***

The sound of the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an sayup-sayup is heard, making the eyes of a beautiful woman open slowly. He squinted, adjusting the light entering the cornea of his eye. He observed every corner of the room that looked very foreign to him.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said a middle-aged, beautiful hijab-wearing and graceful woman. "What do you feel now, son?"

"Well, Auntie...,"

"My name is Ruby." The middle-aged woman introduced herself while helping the woman who was trying to wake up from her sleep.

"Thank you."

"May I know your name?" ask Ruby.

The woman smiled slightly, "Sora, Auntie." Answer

"Sora's feeling all right?" ask Ruby.

Sora nodded, "How am I here? where am I?"

"My son brought you here. Last night you fell unconscious on the side of the highway."

Sora bowed and fell silent, a bad memory flashed through his head. The pain, which was momentarily forgotten, was now present again embracing his wounded heart. Her tears fell without her noticing.

Ruby sat on the edge of the bed and touched Sora's hand, "Are you in a difficult situation, son?" ask Ruby.

Sora nodded, he looked at Ruby. His cheeks were already very wet due to the tears that were still continuously flowing. Ruby who could not bear to see it immediately gave a hug to Sora and became Sora to light her crying in Ruby's arms.

Satisfied crying long enough to hold Ruby makes Sora reluctant and let go of her embrace, "I'm sorry I've made a noise in your home."

Ruby shook her head, "No, son. I'm glad you're here. I'm grateful my son found you and brought you here."

Chequelek

The door opened, a girl who looked younger than Sora came in carrying a tea.

"Assalamu'alaikum, is the Mbak already awake?" ask the girl.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Ruby and Sora.

The girl placed the glass she was carrying on the nightstand.

"This is my daughter, Tamanna Ameera, you can call her Meera." Ruby introduced her daughter.

Meera smiled kindly and greeted Sora. The two took turns mentioning names and returned each other smiles.

"Have a drink first, Ma'am." Meera thrust the glass she had brought earlier at Sora.

Sora accepted, "Thank you." He sipped a few times the warm tea then put it back on the nightstand.

"We wanted to inform your family, but we didn't find any leads to contact them." Ruby Said.

Sora looked at his body, only to realize he was wearing someone else's clothes. "Did I not bring a bag?" ask Sora.

Ruby shakes.

Sora silently recalled something, he was a little stunned when he got the memory of where his bag was. "It turns out I left it somewhere." Her speech.

"Your parents must be worried." Said Ruby.

"Mbak can call them," Meera takes her cell phone and gives it to Sora.

Sora shook his head, "I'd better just go home."

"Wait for my son to come home from the mosque, let him and Meera drive you home." Said Ruby.

"Thank you, Auntie." Sora.

Their light conversation continued, until the noise of someone's arrival was heard at the door of the living room.

"Father and Brother Al have come home, Ma." Ruby invites Sora and Meera out of the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum," The voice of greeting from some people.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Sahut Ruby, Meera and Sora. There was also a voice from the back of the house.

Sora was stunned when he saw two middle-aged men and two young men enter the house as well as a woman of the same age as Ruby coming from the back room. The hood is wide and looks shady. Everyone in the room made Sora's confidence suddenly disappear.

"This is my cousin's sister, her name is Ms. Azizah. He's the owner of the house and the owner of this pesantren."

The pesantren? Sora's inner voice when he heard Ruby's explanation. Sora immediately kissed Azizah's hand.

"Are you better?" ask Azizah.

"Already, Aunt." Sora Sahut.

"This is Mr. Iqbal, Azizah's husband. Next to her, Mr. Hiko, my husband. It's Al, my son and the easiest Mirsha the first son of Azizah's mother." Ruby introduces her family one by one to Sora.

"Assalamu'alaikum," they said to Sora.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, thank you for accommodating me." Sora.

"If you're not feeling well yet, you can rest here, son." Said the middle-aged man who still looks handsome at his age which is past half a century, Hiko.

"Thank you for the offer, but I have to go home soon. My parents must be very worried." Answer Sora.

Hiko nodded, "Let Al and Meera drive you home." He looked at his son.

"Yes, Pa." Replied the young man named Al, a young man who could make women feel at home looking at his face for a long time. "Wait a minute, I'll take you home." He then entered the middle room.

Meera is also seen running up a small track following her brother. Soon they returned and Meera brought a small bag.

"Mad's clothes, still not dry right." Meera gave her plastic bag to Sora.

"This?" Sora pointed at the clothes he was wearing.

"Just use it, son." Sahut Ruby's.

"Thank you very much." Sora said he was getting more and more disinclined by the family.

"Together, may God soon replace your sorrow with happiness, yes." Said Ruby.

"Aamiin's." Everyone in the room.

Sora alternately kissed Ruby and Azizah's hands. Then clasped his hands in front of his mouth greeting Hiko and Iqbal.

"Assalamu'alaikum,"

"Wa'alaikumsalam,"

Al, Meera and Sora go to the car park. Al sits behind the wheel, while Meera and Sora sit at the back. Al started the engine of the car then ran it slowly leaving the pesantren yard.

"I don't really know Jakarta, can you take this trip?" al asked Sora, he looked at the rearview mirror in the car to see Sora in the back.

"Yes" answered Sora.

Al drives his car according to Sora's instructions until they enter a luxury estate.

Al stopped his car right in front of a high iron pagara, a security guard approached to find out who the guests were coming so early.

"Sir Adam, it's me. Please open the gate." Sora.

"Oh Allah, Non Sora! Okay, Non, just a minute."

The man rushed back into the small building in the corner of the courtyard and before long the gate slowly opened displaying a luxurious mansion standing majestically in the middle of a very spacious courtyard.

"MasyaAllah ..," Al and Meera said.

"You can stop the car in front of the porch." Said Sora.

"okay."

Al took his car through the paving road that divides the park and surrounds a fountain pool in the middle of the yard of Sora's house. From a distance a middle-aged man and woman were seen running out followed by several people behind him.

"Mama ...," Sora cried softly when he saw his mother waiting in front of the terrace with a worried face.

He got off when the car stopped. "Mama, Papa!!"

"Yahoooo!!"

The parents and the child hugged each other, crying in relief dispelling their worries. At dusk, Mama Sora continuously kissed her daughter who disappeared last night no news. Satisfied in his mother's arms, he instead embraced his father, Sky.

"Are you okay, honey?" ask Sky.

Sora nodded, "Sora's fine, Pa."

The sound of the closed car door made everyone turn their attention to the brothers who were already standing next to their car.

"Assalamu'alaikum, I'm Almeer and this is my sister Ameera." Al introduces himself, making Sora a little surprised by Almeer's name.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Heaven and Dusk.

"Every night I accidentally found my daughter unconscious in the middle of the road. Since there was no identity whatsoever that the father's daughter brought, I decided to take her to our residence. I'm sorry if my decision has made my father and mother worried about your daughter's situation."

The sky smiled, he approached Almeer and his sister. "I was worried when my men said Sora was taken in a hat with no visible face. I thought there would be bad people hurting him. But after seeing who it was, I was so grateful that you helped our daughter." The sky stretched out its hand, "Thank you for helping my daughter."

Almeer immediately welcomed Sky's hand and slightly bowed his body, "Together, Sir."

"Let's go to our house first."

"We're lang—"

"Youtherly!!"

Almeer's sentence was interrupted when he saw a young man coming down from the car with an annoyed face and yelling at Sora.

"I told you he's a jerk and you're still whipping him!!" Shouted the young man to Sora who was in his mother's arms, actually he had a beautiful face behind the expression of his frustration.

"Stop beating me up!" Sentak Sora's.

"Sky, Sora! lower your voice. We have guests." The sun warned his children.

Sky otmatis stared around looking for who their guests were this early. His eyes stopped on the figure of Almeer standing in front of his papa.

"Well?"

"Sky?"

The two are stunned by each other.

"So this is your house? and he's your brother?" Almeer pointed at Sora.

"Yes, she's my twin." Sky replied, his face looking cold and unfriendly. "What are you doing here?"

"Sky, ask politely. Almeer was the young man who helped Sora last night." Now replace the sky that warned his son.

"It's okay, sir. We're used to talking like this." Almeer.

"Oh yeah? You guys know each other for a long time?" ask Sky.

"Yes, Sir. We are one campus, one class, one faculty, one study program in Jogja first."

"Oh!" Sky flicked his lips while Almeer developed a wide smile while mocking.

"Good dong, let's go in first. We're talking inside." Take the Sky again.

"I'm sorry, sir. But we have to get home soon, there happens to be an event that we have to attend this morning." Answer Almeer.

"Can't you guys stop by for a second?" Dusk approached Almeer. Sora followed her guess.

"Yes, you guys saved me, where can we just let you go." Added Sora.

"Where is your house? I'll send something to your family." Sky Words.

"No sir, no need." Reject Almeer immediately, "We help not to get a reply. Thank you for your good intentions, but we can't take it." Further.

The sky and the sky stared at each other.

"There's no need to think about returning, sir, Mom. We just did what we were supposed to do."

The sky smiled, "Thank you, may we have a chance to meet next time."

Almeer nodded, "We're saying goodbye, sir, ma'am."

"Assalamu'alaikum,"

Almeer kissed the hand of Heaven while Meera kissed the hand of twilight.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Heaven and Dusk.

"Sora's mother is recovering, yes." Meera said as she greeted Sora.

"Thank you, Meera. I'll visit your house when my business is done." Said Sora.

"We'll be back soon, Ma'am. May God allow us to meet at a later time." Meera.

Sora looked sad, "I'm so grateful to meet you and your family."

Meera smiled, "We're saying goodbye first, Ma'am."

Sora nodded, He also looked at Almeer and thanked him. The young man nodded and smiled. The brothers got back in their car and took them away from the yard of Sora's house.

"Kiy! What did you do to Aric?" ask Sora.

The young man just clucked in annoyance and went inside the house.

"Lat!!" Shouted Sora.

"Darling.it's been." The twilight restrained his daughter from getting carried away by emotions.

"Pa?" Sora looked at the sky, "Why don't you mess with Aric, right?" Sora.

The sky shook, "Sky who put the unscrupulous man in jail. And papa thinks he deserves it." Sky Words.

"Father!!" Shouted Sora hysterically.

"Sora, it's my son." Dusk hugged his daughter who was sobbing sadly. "Aric deserves it, honey."

Sora just sobbed in his mother's arms and Sky just wiped his daughter's hair. Although he was very angry, but he tried to refrain from following his emotions and let his son and his people solve his daughter's problems.
