CURTAINS OF THE PAST
FAMILY IS LIKE A BODY
Whenever I am sad and miss papa, I will sleep
until maghrib comes. Because at that time I was listening to the atmosphere
same with the atmosphere in the village.
In this city, there are also the sounds of crickets and frogs. Voices
they'll be heard clearly by the time dusk comes. And I really like
that's…
Until the time finally brought me and you here,
in this town.
He was so kind to me, that I was this despicable
found you so perfect in my eyes.
I want to tell you about my past, it's just me
who are not ready.
But I promise Iffah, I'll let you know after
our return from the inauguration of Villa later. And that, you must have been
meeting my daughter Milka.
Even though they have been in front of a minimalist house, the place
Iffah and her sister spent some time resting after a whole day of taking out
energy out there. Toni never stopped looking at Iffah who was still
being beside him, inside his usual sedan carrying himself everywhere
by the will of his heart.
“What you will spend your Maghrib time in your car
this is it?.” Iffah put on his face. “Let's open the door, I've wanted to
get out of here. Looking at my face will not reduce your longing.” Groused
Iffah wiggled the doorknob of the car next to her that had not been opened
Toni.
Toni grinned at Iffah's broken demeanor,
then press the automatic door opener button.
“Let's go in first, Maghrib here. Maghrib Time
so short.” Invite Iffah and be followed by a nod and a smile that looks pleasant Toni.
They really look good. A pair of young men
like I just fell in love at first sight
her partner.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” Toni steps up quickly as if.
seen running towards the family room where Grandma, Aunt and Omnya
congregates. From there they greeted Toni.
“Neneeeek.” He hugged and rained his cheeks
chewy the old woman with her many kisses.
“Hey,, hey,, heeeeeey... What is this?.” Ask Grandma from behind her saturation admired Toni.
Bobi and Chellin just looked at the puzzled mixed in confusion
watch Toni's behavior change like a child.
“Toni want to Ask,,,” He hangs his words so
the three of them waited. And because he knew, he was intentional
grinning while giggling.
“Basic, this kid. Deliberately pranks on us who are old.”
Gerrick Bobi. “Quick say, you want to ask what huh?.”
“Hehehe... When is the appropriate time Toni applied Iffah.” Toni
looks sparkling to convey his wish.
“Didn't Aunt hear wrong son? Would you like to apply for Iffah?.”
Chellin again seemed to be in disbelief.
Toni nodded enthusiastically as she sat down between Auntie and
Omnya that's. “How's Om?, Bi?” He looked at the couple's husband and wife
alternately.
“Saran Bibi as soon as possible son. Let our house grow
crowded, especially Iffah also has one younger brother, right?.” Suggestion
Chellin was so fast.
“Sweetie, Grandma can't wait to see you have
wife and family.” Her Grandmother's timpal seemed to agree to Chellin's advice.
“Then according to Om Bobi how?.” Toni looked towards Bobi
that's father.
“Om totally agree, son. But, have you
tell him about Milka?.” Toni looks to be bending her face
a moment before shaking.
“Om knows, no matter how much you love Iffah. No
will defeat your affection for Milka. Nor does he doubt sincerity
and his kind attitude is Iffah. But Iffah deserves to know before you
go further with him son.” Bobi assured him.
Chellin and Grandma looked silent, in their hearts
as if to justify the speech of Bobi who was so wise to advise Toni with
just like a father to his biological son.
“Toni has already thought of that Om. And Toni will
tell Iffah everything after our return from the inauguration
Villas in the village. Toni just doesn't want to hurt Iffah Om. Iffah also has
bad past, even very sad.” Toni said softly and felt heavy.
“Last time what dear?.” Ask Chellin who followed
the view of Bobi and her Grandma towards her stunned self.
Toni put her palms together in parallel with
his knee. He breathed heavily. “Iffah lives outside the memory of time
the past is om.” His family was stunned to hear Toni's statement.
“You mean..” Bobi does not continue his speech.
Toni nodded as if understanding the direction of Bobi's words
which hangs. “Iya Om. Iffah had amnesia, she lost her memory in time
her past includes forgetting her husband who died after an accident happened to them
both of them after their recent marriage. “ Toni's family is getting dumbfounded
hearing the reality of the condition of the Iffah they know. “Ghali, his sister Iffah
he told everything to Toni. He asked Tony to keep it a secret
everything from Iffah. Because if he's forced to go back to remembering his past, then p
bad will befall him. Even death.
Arjuna, the name of the man he called that night
her husband's name is.” Toni looked confused at once.
“What is possible if later Iffah remembers his past again,
she's going to leave Toni?.” Tanyanjya. Seemed a bit of an annoyance from the sea
her face.
“Do you believe in Him? He who met you with
Iffah?.” Bobi embraces Toni's shoulder while stealing Toni's view that leads
downwards.
“Toni trust Om.” Saut sure.
“Then ask Him very much, Son.
Begging Him in the third of your night. If Iffah is good for you and your family, then,
then Iffah will stay with you forever.” His grandmother and aunt nodded
smiling cheered on her seemingly desperate self.
Yeah, that's family. Family is like a body.
If one hurts, the other will feel pain. And Toni
really get his whole body from his new family.
