BETWEEN THE RAIN
recollects
"Assalamualaikum Mah" said Syila opened the door. Syila approached the woman and kissed her hand still lying on the hospital bed, currently recovering from the surgery she underwent last night
"Waalaikumsalam" answered all those who were in the room
"You've returned apparently" said the woman whom Syila called Mama.
"Which is this?" Her question pointed at Zidan.
"Assalamualaikum aunt" Zidan also kissed her mother Syila's hand.
"I'm Zidan's friend Syila"
"It just so happens that my house is also in the same complex as my aunt's house, I was going to be here with them but I went home first. While I was on my way here to meet Syila and I brought you all together" explained Zidan introduced himself and gave a reason why they could be together.
"Oh that's it. Thank you Zidan has brought Syila" said Mama Syila.
"Yes aunty" replied Zidan smiling.
"Thank you also because the evening roomen already wanted to send Syila here, you helped us a lot" explained Linda
"Hmmm. So last night there was a meeting" said Fadric who was beside Linda's bed when he heard the words of Linda's mother Syila.
"Ih our man accidentally met Kok" Yudi's nudge on Fadric's shoulder.
"There are so many things I don't know" Tiara continued with eyes glancing at Syila
"We have nothing for Ra" said Syila a little embarrassed
"Who said you guys have nothing, I'm just saying a lot I don't know" said Tiara who still teased Syila with a small laugh.
They all told each other, with the condition of Syila's mother who had improved a little because last night had run the operation.
"Our aunt excuse me to go home first yes, anyways we have been here a long time, sometime Tiara stop by again deh" said Tiara saying goodbye
"Yes, if so, thank you Ra for wanting to see a aunt" Linda said
"Yes aunty together" said Tiara. Fadric also took part and wanted to take Tiara home with the motorbike he brought
"If you want to go out and look at the atmosphere outside is not papa really, let mama same Shala aja here" Tegur Linda who already understands their current situation is a little awkward.
"Yes ma, Syila wants to go out to buy food for Shala" said Syila
"Yes, I've done it yes, you also want to go home" said Zidan
"Eh, I'm really glad Zidan's coming home" Linda asked
"Soalah already here, yes Zidan excuse me first aunty" said Zidan
"Assalamu'alaikum" Zidan kissed Linda's hand
"Waalaikumsalam" Linda replied
Syila and Zidan went together to buy food near the hospital area
"Oh yes Syil, tomorrow you are not in school" Zidan's voice that shattered a silence that had enveloped the atmosphere between the two of them
"Well, why" asked Syila
"No papa, just nanya" said Zidan
"It looks like the food there is delicious" said Zidan pointing to the restaurant across the street
"You ate there" asked Syila
"Yes never, but it looks from the picture of the food" Zidan's smile answered Syila's question.
Syila also ordered food but did not eat in this shop but in packs.
"Judah I entered first" said Shila who was about to enter the hospital, after buying food.
"Jillie!" Call Zidan who stopped Syila's move.
"Yeah ?" Ask Syila
"Be careful" said Zidan with a mischievous smile
"What is the chain" said Syila
Syila was still standing in front of the hospital watching until Zidan's figure disappeared.
Zidan got in front of his house and put his motorcycle into the garage. The clock shows at 15:30 p.m.
"Goddessalam.." Samsul replied, his father was watching tv.
"Where's Dan's school?" Ask Samsul
"Yes, yes" answered Zidan briefly.
"Why not go to the hospital?" Zidan asked back.
"Today I'm going to have my day off Dan" replied Samsul, whose eyes are still focused on tv
"Oh yes, Zidan forgot the reward" Zidan said with a big smile
"Well eat?" Ask Samsul
"Udah is at school" Zidan replied while looking at his father's back
"Ashar prayers?" Ask again
This time Zidan just kept quiet not answering his father's questions.
"Not yet hehe" Zidan replied
"Jaudah take ablution there" the father ordered
The clock is now at 7pm. Zidan was in his bed reading the recently purchased book The Alchemist on his way home and only read half of it.
"And! Have dinner first!" Shouted papa from the kitchen.
"Yes pah wait a moment" Zidan replied as he gave a sign to his book and immediately rushed down to eat together.
"What are the benefits?" Ask Zidan when he gets to the dining room.
"Papa just cook rendang aja" Reply papa smiled
"That's good.." Said Zidan who was already sitting on the dining table chair
"Yes, I've been eating" Samsul also scooped rice on his plate, as well as Zidan
"Wih papa nih cuisine is very good, already handsome, good cook, so doctor, independent again. Papa nih basically complete can all" praise Zidan on the all-rounded papa
"Hahahaha you are there" said Samsul while focusing on his food.
"Let Zidan wash the dishes pa, papa rest aja" Zidan immediately took the plate in his papa's hand
After washing the dishes, Zidan returned to his room and performed Isya prayers.
After that he continued his reading that had been cut.
Zidan stopped at a sentence that he thought was very good.
"When you want something, the entire universe will come together to help you reach for it."
***
The wandering wind
From south to north
Which brings every breath of man
May I ask???
What is the owner of this heart?
It's ice cold or it's as soft as silk
Tell him I'm waiting for him
Here with a million of my love for her.

After he finished reading it, Zidan closed his book and closed his eyes. He remembered all of his events today at school.
The moment where he wanted to go to the principal's room and did not know the place, there came the figure of Tiara who delivered him.
While she wants to talk to Syila with her many obstacles and Syila who is always busy with her duties, her motorcycle key helps Zidan meet Syila without being disturbed by anyone. And what happened in the garden until last night I found him and heard all his complaints.
