Black Heaven

Wh why? wh why?

Two days later ....

The morning mentor began to greet all the creatures in the city of Jombang. Intan opened the room window to breathe the fresh air of the city that he would leave behind after this. He closed his eyelids to feel how cold the morning air was.

After being satisfied to greet the morning air, Intan turned her back, she looked at Aji who was still curled up under the warm thick blanket. After the dawn prayer, Aji did deliberately sleep again because after this he will travel to Tangerang.

Intan began to arrange some clothes that must be brought back to Tangerang. Not to forget he prepared his change of clothes and clothes for Aji. He was looking for Aji jeans, a plain T-shirt and denim jacket on the hanger closet.

"Should I have prepared that?" muttered Intan in his heart when he saw the pile of CelDam at the bottom of Almari.

"No, no, no! i'm ashamed!" Intan shook his head while muttering. Intan immediately closed the closet door after finishing packing.

"Oh God!" Intan gasped after turning his body. He was surprised because suddenly Aji was standing behind his body.

"Good morning, my wife ..." Aji greeted with a very sweet smile afterwards.

Intan developed her smile when she saw the handsome face in front of her, "good morning, Husband ..." said Intan in a soft voice, he commented on her smile—a smile as warm as the morning sun.

"After this we have breakfast together, yes, I want to take a shower first" said Aji while rubbing Intan's black hair before coming out of the room.

After Aji's departure, Intan immediately tidied up her bed. Within a few minutes the room turned neat, "finished!" intan said after completing his task.

Intan grabs her headscarf, she swings her way to the ground floor to prepare breakfast for her husband. Intan went to the kitchen to look for food ingredients that can be cooked for breakfast.

"Eh, uh, uh! what are you doing here?" suddenly Sarah's voice came from the back door.

"want to make breakfast Mi," replied Intan after putting down the bowl he had just taken off the shelf.

"you're not fully healed yet, son! so don't cook or do homework!" ummi Sarah put away the bowl that Intan had just placed.

"Breakfast is ready at the dinner table! after this we have breakfast together. Ummi wants to call abah first in the back," said ummi Sarah before passing from before Intan.

Intan swung her way towards the living room, she threw herself in there, waiting for the people of the house to have breakfast together.

"Why are you here alone?" Intan raised her head when she heard Aji's voice behind the sofa she was currently sitting on.

"Let's have breakfast!" said ummi Sarah who just came with kyai Yusuf,

Kyai Yusuf has been back from his second home since yesterday afternoon. He never long if he met his second wife who was in another city, just stay one night to spend time with his three children who were there.

Silence was felt in the dining room, no one spoke during the breakfast, only the sound of forks and spoons were unpretentious like music accompaniment there.

The breakfast together was over, all returning to their respective activities. Intan and Aji were busy preparing themselves in the room. They had to leave immediately because this morning Intan wanted to see his aunt first before returning to Tangerang. Aji initially rejects Intan's wishes, but after seeing a disappointed look on his wife's face, Aji becomes unbearable.

A few tens of minutes later, Aji and Intan are ready to leave, they both say goodbye to the people of the house. Ummi Sarah gave a lot of advice to her son who now has a greater responsibility.

"Son, don't forget Abah's message yesterday yes, tell the house people if your Papa agrees to the wedding plan that we had planned yesterday" said Kyai Yusuf after Intan shook his hand.

"Yes Bah, I must have conveyed to Papah," Intan said with a sweet smile.

The two of them were joking to drive away the feeling of loneliness. They discussed things that were not important during the trip to Lamongan. Intan stopped his laughter as the white car passed through the forest area of Manting— where a frightening incident occurred a few days ago.

"Quiet down! don't remember anymore. Maybe in that painful way, God opened our way to this wonderful marriage," said Aji after realizing Intan's expression changed.

After a long journey, Intan finally reached the village where his aunt lived. Several times Aji passed through the village road, but they both did not find the house that Intan had visited, the house that had been changed into a motorcycle repair shop.

"we better get down first, we ask the owner of the workshop," said Aji after stopping his car in the garage.

Intan also came down with Aji, his heart was agitated for fear of losing track of his aunt. He followed behind Aji who was walking towards the workshop.

"Excuse me, Mas!" said Aji after arriving at the workshop motorbike.

"Yes, what's wrong?" ask the mechanic who is fixing the motorbike engine,

"I want to ask, Halimah's mother's house that used to be here, now moved where?" ask Aji to the mechanic.

"Loh! Did you know that three years ago, Miss Halimah's house burned down?" said the mechanic who managed to make Intan widen his eyes, "Bu Halimah and her three children died Mas, also burned inside the house," said the Montir.

Intan could no longer stand up. He was shocked after hearing the shocking news, tears just escaped from his eyes.

"Where is the other child of Ma'am Halimah?" tanya Intan with a sobbing sounding roar.

"the eldest son of Bu Halimah at the adoption of the mother, he survived because at the time of the incident, he was in school," said the Montir, "Land of Mother Halimah I have bought Mbak, Ma'am, the money was used to pay the debts of the deceased and the rest was given to his eldest son" said the mechanic.

Intan could no longer hear the story of her aunt. He was sobbing because he felt guilty—ia was late to find out the news of the only family he had.

"Sorry sir, if you may know where is the grave of Miss Halimah?" ask Aji after being confused in his place.

"Mas follow this road, after there is a fork later turn left, later the tomb is on the right of Mas road." The mechanic explained where the tomb Aji was looking for was.

"then thank you sir for the information, I'll excuse you. Sorry to interrupt your time" said Aji before passing from the workshop. Not to forget he helped Intan stand from the long bench he occupied at this time.

Intan was more intrigued when he was in the car, Aji tried to calm his wife so that her heart was stronger to live all the destiny outlined by the Supreme Being.

"Why Gus? why did God take those closest to me?" tanya Intan on the sidelines sobs her tears.
