Dina, where are you going?" rifky yell.
Dina continued walking without looking at Rifky one bit. His feet continued to move according to the will of his heart. A neglected Rifky got off his bike and chased after Medina.
" Dina, what are you doing?" Rifky pulled Medina's arm firmly.
Rifky stared fixedly at Medina's face from the reflection of the full moonlight. She was surprised to see her little girl dabbed with a sobbing held back.
" Dear, why are you crying? What's the matter, my dear?" Rifky clasped his little girl's fingers tightly.
" Mom.." murmured Medina softly.
" Hey.don't cry anymore, sister, I'm sorry about that. Brother is not angry with you, dear." persuaded Rifky.
" Mom..pardon Medina," said Medina again.
" Dear, what's wrong? Don't confuse you like this?"
Rifky hugged Medina's body tightly. I don't know what the girl was thinking until suddenly crying for no reason. Why did he mention his mother's name? Is Medina very depressed?"
" Dear, have you? Don't cry anymore, tell your sister how you feel right now. Big brother promised to be there for you." said Rifky.
" Dina wants to come with me." isak Medina.
" We go home, okay? We'll talk again at home." said Rifky.
" Dina wants to see mom..."
" Yes, tomorrow morning we visit mother's grave. Now we go home, okay?"
Rifky embraces Medina's shoulder still sobbing towards her bike. He still thought hard about the cause of his girl crying suddenly.

Rifky has arrived at Medina's house. It was seen that Mr. Hasan was still sitting on the porch waiting for him.
" Assalamu'alaikum, uncle." said Rifky while holding Medina.
" Wa'alaikumsalam, Medina why is this?" reply mr. Hasan.
" Rifky doesn't know either, uncle. It seems Dina is not well."
" Yes, let's go inside."
Medina sat in the living room because she was reluctant to go to her room. His body leaned against the sofa then his head fell onto Rifky's shoulder.
" Dina, what's wrong with you?" ask Mr. Hasan.
Seeing that Medina was silent, Rifky placed Medina's head on her lap. The girl seemed to close her eyes and occasionally her tears were still dripping.
" Uncle, is Medina often like this? He called me earlier." said Rifky.
" Athaghfirullah, why did I forget this. We used to visit his mother's grave every Friday after Ashar. But since uncle had business at school, we didn't visit. Usually Medina goes alone if uncle can't, but since the punishment isn't over yet, she doesn't go."
Rifky understood now, other than because he had scolded her Medina also missed her mother. Rifky let out a long sigh and gently rubbed Medina's sleeping head. Rifky sent Adam a message if he didn't leave.
" Morrow can Rifky take Medina away, uncle?"
" Where are you going?"
" Don't know yet, uncle. It's up to Medina to go where, the important thing is that she's not sad anymore."
" You're right, Rifky. Ever since Dina's mother died, we've never been anywhere. The two of us's activities just like this continued for years."
" Yes already, tomorrow uncle come? Rifky's got a car."
" No, you're the only ones going."
" Not so, uncle. Moments like this must happen again in the uncle's family even though Medina's mother is no more. Rifky is sure you two can be as happy as ever."
" Is that possible? Dina still seems to be keeping her distance from uncle."
" Look easy, uncle. Tomorrow we go many - many. Rifky will be bringing Om Jamal and auntie as well. Dina's friends are all coming along too."
" Alright, but if there is no place to go. Uncle wants to go to the beach. It's where the three of us spend weekends together."
¤ ¤ ¤
This morning according to plan last night, Rifky invited the family of om Jamal and also Mr. Hasan and friends of Medina to the beach at the request of Mr. Hasan.
" Dear, uncle is ready?" rifky asked Medina who was sitting on the porch.
" A little while, brother. Still in her kayak's room." said Medina.
" Will uncle come with Om Jamal's car? It's a pity to be jostling with those of you who are like that market."
" No, Calis dear. You should always be with your brother."
" But Dina wants to be with me, dad,"
" When you get there, you can spend time with your father."
Medina flicked her lips while dodging Rifky's gaze. Looking at her little girl, Rifky just smiled. When responded to, the girl is getting more and more act up later.
" Rifky, is everything ready?" ask Mr. Hasan.
" At present, uncle. Everyone has gathered at Om Jamal's house." replied Rifky.
" Dad, Dina_.." said Dina slowly.
" Dina's in Rifky's car, uncle. If uncle's in Om Jamal's car that's freer" Rifky said quickly.
" It's up to you guys, please take care of Dina on the trip." said Mr. Hasan.
" Ready, uncle."
After everything got into the car, the car immediately drove away from Mr. Jamal's residence. Rifky forced Medina to sit next to him.
" Mey, Dani's still chasing you?" tanya Ririn arrived - arrived.
" What's why? You like her?" answer Medina origin.
" Ihh.. Look at his face is already lazy." said Ririn.
" He's bothering you, Din?" ask Rifky.
" No, sis. He just wanted to meet the girl. Dani said the girl is in danger right now."
" Just relax, the girl is safe and they won't be able to find her" Rifky said.
Without feeling, a long enough journey they have been through. Now they are standing on the beach enjoying the sea water that soaks their feet.
Medina and Mr. Hasan went to a reef they used to visit when his mother Medina was still there. When he set foot on the stone, Medina was like looking at the smiling figure of a mother while feeding her. The smiles and laughter engraved on the faces of the three of them back then, could not afford to be drawn with allusions.
" Dad, if only mother still existed_..."
" Ssttt. All this is fate, my son. We must accept this reality and continue to live happily. Your mother's smile always accompanies our steps here."
" May you be happy up there, Dad. Dina misses mom very much." - Ooh Medina.
" We wish your mother all the best. Even though we love him very much, God loves him more."
Medina leaned against her father's shoulder by staring at the sparkling ocean due to the increasingly blazing sunlight. They are doing the same thing, which is to remember the figure of a woman that can not be replaced by anyone.
" Dad, why didn't you bring some food? Mother used to bring supplies for us." said Medina.
" We used to go through three, my beautiful son. Now we are crowded - crowded, not good if only bring a little supply. Moreover, we do not have any preparation" said Mr. Hasan.
" Dina misses mother's cooking."
" Your cooking is no less delicious than your mother's."
" Why are you leaving so soon, Dad? Just try Dina's got a sister, five is fine - let's just race at home."
" Switch you, what if you were the only one who got married after graduating from school? Later I can have many grandchildren." teased Mr. Hasan.
" Ayaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Don't have a boyfriend, who wants to marry?" sulcan Medina.
" Find dong, masa' this pretty girl dad nobody wants?"
" Why don't you just get married again?"
" This father is old, whichever one wants."
" Who said you were 43 years old. There must be a lot of girls who want to be just as handsome as dad."
" Don't worry about you!"
The father and son laughed happily together. It was as if the burden of their lives had disappeared so at this moment.
