Black Heaven

I'm nervous, Gus!

Intan blinked his eyes as he felt the cold air coming down on his body. Slowly, Intan's two eyes began to catch the still-bright supermarket in front of him. After his soul was perfectly gathered, Intan straightened up his body, he stared at the figure who was sleeping in the steering chair.

"Just this time I saw Gus while sleeping," Intan muttered in his heart, "this is Gus Aji's jacket, why is it under my feet, huh?" he continued after picking up the jacket that fell on his leg.

Intan looked back at Aji, he just wanted to make sure that Aji was really fast asleep. After the situation was safe, Intan drowned his face in the jacket, he inhaled the masculine scent that was so intoxicating to his soul.

"Come yes!"

Instantly Intan threw the jacket towards Aji in surprise after hearing the voice. It feels, Intan really wants to run away from this car because it is powerless to withstand such a terrible shame.

Aji chuckled when he saw Intan's dead red face despite the situation in the car was pitch black. He couldn't stand it when he saw Intan sniffing the scent of his jacket, "if you like, just grab his jacket!" said Aji while upholding his body, do not forget he changed the position of the chair as before.

The two of them are currently resting in the rest area on the Nganjuk Toll Road. Aji decided to rest there as intense drowsiness started attacking him. Intan himself has been asleep since the car driven by Aji arrived at the border of East Java-Central Java. Aji was the one who covered Intan's body with his jacket, so that the girl of his tribe did not feel the cold air, because Aji opened the window of the car while sleeping.

"Why is your face so red?" Aji teased Intan even more, he was very anxious when he saw a face that was almost similar to that boiled shrimp.

"What the hell, Gus!!" Intan turned his face the other way. He seemed to have no more face after the action was caught Aji.

Intan got out of the car, in the face of the still dark sky. He leaned against the car door and spread his gaze to all directions. Intan began to feel a sour taste in his taste buds, he needed a cigarette after waking up like this.

"Tan, let's get ready! It's already dawn!" said Aji who was behind Intan's body.

Intan looks at Aji at a glance, then he opens the back door of the car to take his big bag, where there are clothes Aji bought some time ago that are stored in the bag. He had to wear the robe because after this they would arrive at the pesantren.

"I'm a little long Gus in the toilet" said Intan before they split up in front of the toilet.

"Just relax, you want to smoke first, right?" Aji tried to guess what Intan would do after this.

Intan only smiled faintly to answer Aji's question. Yes, it is true, he will smoke in the toilet while throwing away his usual behavior.

"Why am I so nervous huh," muttered Intan after sitting on a closet, not forgetting he lit a cigarette to eliminate the bitter mixed sour taste that felt in his mouth.

After being in the bathroom for thirty minutes, Intan finally came out from there. He has taken a bath and wears a light purple robe given from Aji. Simple gamis that looks right on his body. Intan rushed out of the woman's toilet because she had to perform two rakaat services before continuing the journey.

"loh! Gus waiting for me?" intan asked after seeing Aji sitting leaning beside the toilet.

"Yes, twenty minutes" said Aji, staring at Intan, "come to dawn!" continued Aji as he moved from his seat

Intan's heart trembled when Aji asked her to pray together, it felt like she wanted to cry because she was moved. Finally, his old dream, now a reality, became the master of Ajisaka.

Orange color has been seen on the eastern horizon, the sign of the sun began to wake up from a deep sleep. The sound of birds chirping began to sound unpretentious, rejoicing in welcoming the presence of the sun.

As usual, Rahma cleaned the yard every morning Kyai Yusuf. Starting from the front to the side yard, all he did without any protest.

"O Allah, my ideal husband is coming home" Rahma muttered, tidying her veil with her right hand while she used her left hand to hold a broomstick.

The flowers of love that had bloomed beautifully, slowly had to fall down when Rahma saw a woman get off Aji's car. The broomstick came off when Rahma saw Aji smiling meaningfully at the girl wearing the purple robe.

"Is that woman Gus Aji's future wife?" murmured Rahma after seeing Aji enter her house through the front door, not the side door as usual.

Rahma's tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. She is heartbroken because the hope of becoming Aji's wife apparently must be buried deeply, especially when she sees Aji and the woman looking at each other with a meaningful smile.

Tok ... tok ....

Several times Aji knocked on the door of his house.he could have entered through the side door or the back door, but he could not do all that because there was Intan with him. They waited for the door to open for three minutes.

"Assalamualaikum, Ning," said Aji after seeing Ninis who opened the door for him..

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Ninis while looking at Aji, "Masyaallah Tata! eh—Intan!" ninis shouted after seeing the figure standing beside Aji.

Without waiting for long, the two of them hugged each other. Letting go of long-standing longings for the soul. Intan sobbed in the warm embrace of Ninis, the woman he had always considered as an older sister.

"How are you? don't cry dong!" tanya Ninis while rubbing the wet cheek of Intan.

Intan just shook his head, he was unable to say anything more in front of Ninis. Only tears represented all of his current feelings.

"Let's go in! I forgot to let you stand here." Ninis pulled out Intan's hand for the girl to follow in his footsteps.

"Please sit down!" ninis said after arriving in the living room, "i want to meet Ummi with Abah in the back first," said Ninis before leaving.

Intan let out a heavy sigh as Ninis passed from the living room. He circled his gaze to observe the room he had always cleaned. Her tears fell again as she remembered the happy times in this house.

"Why just shut up?" tanya Aji who had been observing Intan since.

"I'm nervous, Gus. I was afraid to meet Ummi with Abah" Intan said as he looked at Aji with eyes that were still dewy.
