ANACHAL

38. Wake up

The sunlight that crept in between Alara's room woke Alara from her sleep.

Alara saw the whereabouts of her mother beside Alara. Alara took off slowly her mother's embrace. He stood up to the bathroom and cleaned up. Now Alara is wearing a short-sleeved shirt and short Levis pants.

"Wake up, baby". Said Mama Alara while getting off the mattress, and approached Alara who again combed her hair near the ornamental closet in alara's room. Mama Alara kissed her daughter's forehead.

Alara slightly avoids being kissed by her mother. "Mama said sleep in my room ma". Saying Alara with jutek.

"No papa. Mama just wanted to accompany you last night. You're okay, right?". Asked Mama Alara gently while holding onto Alara's shoulder.

Alara brushed off her mother's hand and then wanted to step out of the room. Rare Alara stopped because Syafa suddenly came and hugged Alara.

"Sister Ara. Syafa is happy that Ara has come home". Say syafa happily.

Alara smiled slightly as she took off Syafa's embrace slowly. "Syafa wants to go to school, right? yes, now the place of Mr. Kedi yes. Ara's sister help me call Mr. Kedi". Alara said while sitting squatting to be the same height as Syafa.

Alara screams for Mr. Kedi. Mr. Kedi calls Alara. Syafa quickly closed the door of Alara's room.

"Why close the door, baby?". Ask Alara.

"Pak Kedi is already on his way, brother. Syafa closed the door, because of the appearance of sister Ara sexy. Brother wear the veil first brother. Or not let Shafa come out. Brother is here". Syafa said innocently.

When Syafa spoke like that, Alara saw his appearance for a while. And feel unworthy to be a sister to the wise and mature Syafa. Syafa is still a child but Syafa knows the rules better than he is an adult. Hearing that, Alara's heart ached a little and like a slashed dagger. Alara could only respond to Syafa's words with a slight smile and nod.

"Yes, ma, Shafa went to school first". Say Syafa while greeting Alara and mama Alara. Open the door slowly and close it again.

Syafa has left with Pak Kedi school. Alara began to move from her squatting position. Then sit on the edge of his bed. Mama Alara approached Alara.

"It's a good thing you don't know what happened last night. If he knew, Syafa would be sad to see his brother is fragile. You think back to changing your appearance well, baby. Mama used to eat for us". Said Mama Alara while kissing Alara's forehead then passed away leaving Alara's room.

After her mother left, Alara was washed away in her daydream. "Is it wrong if I turn the corner?. It's my life! But am I willing to hurt Syafa. If Syafa knows, I think gini, whether indirectly I have made Syafa disappointed and do not respect me anymore. Because Syafa I yearya who yesterday is not a delinquent like before". Alara murmured in the heart.

There is a fear in Alara if her beloved adek knows, how Alara's nature in the past. He doesn't want to disappoint the only person he loves who remains. Alara's dilemma about it. On the one hand Alara also does not want to play religion just because of her ego. He wants to go back in the hijab and veil, if he himself wants it not because of anything else or anyone else.

Alara came out of her room to eat. Dimeja eat mama Alara prepared everything in help also with aunt.

"Tumben today non Alara woke up bad luck. And.. The non shirt is more open now". Bibik said while glancing at Alara from toe to hair with a somewhat stammered speech afraid that Alara was offended by her speech.

Alara just kept quiet and continued eating.

"No papa bik. Let alone. We're the only ones at home now". Soak up Alara's mama and get Alara a drink.

"Mama there will be activities outside, baby. Are you home or have an event?". Mama Alara said while eating with her only daughter.

Alara only raises her shoulders a sign of not knowing and not wanting to know what her mother said.

"Mama's advice, you reflect on the actions you are doing now Al. Don't let you regret it the next night. If you do not care about the existence of mama in this house, at least you must still care about Syafa, right baby?. Think about how it would impact Syafa if he knew the older brother he set the example for, now it's like this. You don't want Syafa to also turn the direction later, baby. And you don't want Syafa to be disappointed and no longer want to listen to your words. You don't want Shafa to hate you, do you?". Mama Alara.

"Emang nature is the once sehina that in the eyes of mama yes ma?. Why should Shafa be ashamed of having an older brother like Alara now?. Alara believes Syafa will remain dear to Alara ma. Not like a mother, who always judges and looks down on her child!". Assert Alara while leaving the dining table to the pool near the garden behind her house.

Mama Alara can only sighfar and stroke the chest. "Return the serf's son to the path that you have been led by Allah". Mama Alara Lirih.

Alara threw her body on the sofa near the pool. He was annoyed and annoyed by his mother's words. But even though what her mother said was outrageous to her, her brain could still digest the positive speech that came out of her mouth. Long enough Alara daydreamed in that pond. Finally, Alara decided to go somewhere.

Alara came to the place she wanted to go. The sound of laughter and running footsteps could be heard from a building that read the word SD Aswadani. Now it's another hour of rest. Alara noticed Syafa who was fun to tell cheerfully along with his friends.

Syafa saw a girl in short Levis pants and wearing a hudi watching him from afar. "Sister Ara". Shafa muttered in shock. Syafa's friends also looked at Syafa's eyes.

Alara, who realized Syafa saw him, got into her car. Syafa approaches Alara's car. Alara opened the car.

"Sister Ara. What brother is sister? cover up which brother's face?". Ask Syafa innocently.

"Silver just want to see your activities at school dear. Last brother laborers. So I only got to wear this shirt". Alara ngeles.

"Hm. Shafa is fine, brother. Brother go home first. Syafa does not want friends Syafa see sister gini. They'll bully brother again". Syafa said with a serious face.

"You and your friends are kids, you've been playing bullly". Alara laughed a little.

"Syafa is serious. Brother is home now yes. Syafa does not want to be a brother in the same bully of Shafa's friends. Brother does not want Syafa to fight with friends Syafa because he does not accept that Syafa's brother in ugly". Pinta the nagging little girl was already like that adult.

"Yes it is. Brother's leaving". Alara said as she waved her hand and smiled.

Syafa also waved his hand and also smiled and then went back to school.

Alara got home and walked slowly up the stairs while re-imagining the worried face of the sister if friends later mocked Alara for not wearing Niqab again. "Worried and caring that Syafa is the same as me. Until that little boy, I don't want to be denigrated in public. Sepeduli is Syafa with my pride. As for me, I don't think about it at all. Do I still want to follow my ego? Without thinking about Shafa's feelings. How sad Syafa will be if he knows, I have already sentin for not wearing hijab or niqab. Shafa will accept it, will you?". Questions like that sprung up in Alara's brain.

Later that night, Alara again gathered her intention to ask for instructions by praying Istikharah. To convince himself and dismiss his disappointed thoughts on the creator. Alara asked for rare clues or what actions she should take at the moment. Will he still turn or return to wearing Niqab which is really the intention of himself not because of the coercion of anyone. After the Istikharah prayer, Alara continued the tahajud prayer, the purpose is to ask for forgiveness and so that the prayer of reason is more affirmed by Allah SWT.
