Asa At The End of Lembayung

Rena's Decree

"Bi, where is this next?" ask Rena who is expecting dry firewood.

"Partly go straight to the kitchen just neng, put it next to the furnace," said Bi Ijah who was washing clothes.

Indeed today they choose not to go anywhere, other than the activity of taking banana leaves during the holidays, because there is no longer a request from the city in the capital to make a delivery.

Because there is nothing to do in the garden or fields owned by neighbors, because Bi Ijah does not have fields or gardens that must be cultivated, he said, so he could only wait for the neighbors to tell him to do odd jobs helping them in the rice fields, even so, the land behind his house is quite spacious Bi Ijah took the initiative to grow vegetables that he could sell to the market.

"Assalamualaikum," cried someone from the front of the house.

"Waalaikumsalam," answered Rena and Bi Ijah simultaneously.

"Let Rena alone open," he said after arranging the last pile of firewood that had been dry and immediately walked towards the front door.

"Eh it turns out Zahra is the same Rehan, sorry for a long time because it was sorted out again at the back of the house," said Rena smiling cheerfully to see her best friend and immediately embrace.

"How's Ren doing?" asked Zahra after taking off the hug.

"Thank God, how are you?" rena asked her back, and she reached out to Rehan to shake hands despite the awkwardness that accompanied them.

"Alhamdulillah healthy too, Bi Ijahnya there is Ren?"

"There is behind again nyuci, eh sicantik Rina also come yes, here dong salaman sama ateu," said Rena while approaching Rina and her best friend's daughter kissed the back of her arm.

"Sit down first, let me bring you a drink, but I'm sorry there's just plain water" he continued.

"It's okay, Ren, sorry so you're talking about dech" said Zahra.

"That's okay, just sit down first, you want to call Bi Ijahnya," said Rena, then he returned home to take a drink.

Zahra who saw the behavior of her best friend was smiling happily, because it turns out the look on Rena's face is not as dark as when they found her abandoned in the land of people.

"Eh, son Rehan is the same as Zahra after all, Rina granddaughter of the grandmother has gotten bigger, yes" cried Bi Ijah after seeing who came.

"Yes dong nek, Rina eats a lot, so big chips, so I can help Umi with Abi, also Kinan's mother," said Rina as she approached Bi Ijah to greet the middle-aged woman.

"Widdiyyat.... Good and diligent child indeed, let's drink first there is also a little snack please enjoy," said Rena who just returned and brought a kettle of water along with a tray containing boiled cassava, and, Rina immediately plucks the cassava and dips it into white sugar.

"Aws... Hu.. Huu.... Hot, hot," exclaimed Rina as she blew the cassava with her tiny mouth, her behavior making everyone laugh.

"Eat it slowly dear, no one will call this really," said Zahra while helping to fan it.

"Eh yes almost forgot, for a while," exclaimed Rehan who remembered the intention of coming to Bi Ijah's house, then he rushed to his car and opened the back door.

"Pig... Rina bantuin yes," exclaimed Rina from the bamboo hall where they were sitting.

"No need, you stay there with Nek Ijah" said Rehan and immediately took out rice and pottery to give to Bi Ijah.

"Thank you so much, Rehan," exclaimed Bi Ijah after Rehan handed him his sumbako.

"Ayoo-like... Let Grandma befriend," she said, then drove Rina to the backyard, they went to leave the front porch, as if Rina knew that Abi and Uminya were going to talk seriously about Rena.

After the departure of Rina and Bi Ijah, for a moment the atmosphere seemed to be awkward, the three of them were kind of hesitant to start the conversation.

"Rena, this is for you" Rehan said, opening the conversation while offering a neatly-wrapped phone and also a card.

"This, what do you mean?" rena asked puzzledly as she glanced towards Zahra.

"It doesn't mean anything, but it's your part, really" Zahra explained.

"Huhh..?" Rena even more do not understand the words of her friend.

"So, this phone is a gift from Mr. Ichirou, a bonded company leader in our country and it turns out he is a subordinate of his father Keiko," Rehan said.

Then Rehan began to explain how he could get the phone, and told about him being offered a lucrative profit, but he refused, and also how he got the money in large quantities.

"So our desire is to share the money with you, because maybe this is a form of apology from Mr. Benjiro indirectly to you" Rehan said

"No, I don't deserve all that, because Mr. Benjiro should do all that to return your favor, for saving his son, so it has nothing to do with me," timpal Rena who refused the gift from the husband and wife.

"But.." cried Zahra.

"There's a but-button of Zahra, that's your right, even I'm very grateful and grateful, for indirectly making me here again, he said, because if there is no Keiko who invites you to take a vacation to the country of Sakura and if you do not find yourself this, maybe I will die slowly there, maybe, because it was mental and my soul was completely destroyed,"

"Because the wounds of the tragedy turned blue, the incision became more real when I recalled what happened to me at that time, the wound continued to take my life into a dangle and had thought to just end it all,"

"But you come like a light, when this light within is enveloped by the darkness of despair, and patiently takes care of me until it is willing to take me back to start a new life, so it is better to use the money for you family," said Rena who remained in his establishment.

Rehan was only silent to hear the two best friends talking, for fear of disturbing, he then followed Rina to the backyard.

"This Elena is my wish, will you marry Kang Rehan? I'm willing in the honey from the woman that you are, and for Kang Rehan let me convince her," Zahra said, expressing a request to her best friend, but was replied by Rena while shaking her head.

"Don't you offer me a bed in your household, to share the warmth in one blanket, I can't walk in your midst and start all this again, because for me, I can't, it's all over, when I decided to hand Kang Rehan over to you" Rena said in response to Zahra's request.

"live your lives in peace, do not be burdened with my current situation, because now I am happy enough with Bi Ijah, she said, this oath may also be a way for us to remain in the right corridor, for friendship is more eternal, than being a friend who shares love under one roof,"

"You know as the twilight we never asked, He came because of his promise to the sun, and he disappeared because he gave the moon a night,"

"The sky is never guilty, it is the weapon that chooses to leave it, because dusk believes in the moon to light up the sky when dusk only leaves darkness on the sky,"

"Because from that moment in my heart it has been imprinted, that is, the way to thank those who are willing to help in times of distress without sorting before acting, is to honor him as a half-brother,"

"You and Kang Rehan are now no longer just friends, but like brothers beyond the bonds of a blood family and maybe that's what Keiko and her father are trying to do, so do not throw strange things again," said Rena patted both shoulders Zahra and stared fixed his best friend's eyeballs, a sign he was serious with his words.

Zahra, who knew the war, only sighed resignedly, and maybe it was her best choice that could not be contested.
