CURTAINS OF THE PAST

WHO'S GHALI?

　

　

"Good afternoon my beautiful sister..." Say hello to a young man. The man stopped his sports bike right next to Iffah.

　

"Ghaliii... You surprised my sister again. If your brother is a hanger how? Want to live like a kara?." Iffah's grumble seemed surprised.

　

"Hehe... Don't dong kak, Ghali wouldn't be able to live without a brother." The man he called Ghali was a crybaby.

　

"Eat him, next time think about surprising my brother." Still with grumbling mode.

　

"Yes-yes sorry... Brother don't be angry dong... It's beautiful that my sister is missing." Tempted Ghali while putting on his handsome smile. Seen two sharp shakes adorn the edges of the rows of teeth are clean and shiny there.

　

Iffah pinched the small waist of Ghali, so the man wriggled amusedly at it. "Still you tease your brother, you make sure you have dinner with salt." Threat Iffah.

　

"Geez... Forgive me... Don't dong brother. Ah, big brother... Like ngancem... I'm paying today, brother."

　

"Eat him, later if you think first." Omel Iffa.

　

"Yes-yes, Ghali has apologized..." Ghali said as he swung his lower lip.

　

Iffah pinched the spoiled cheek of Ghali who was not too stingy with a resound, "You're like a child..."

　

"Ghali will continue to act like a child in the eyes of a sister until one of us gets married. And... It must have been the first brother to marry between us. Ghali will continue to protect his brother from anything and from anyone who hurts his brother... Ghali won't let the water fall from this brother's pretty eyes." Ghali pointed at Iffah's eyeball.

　

Iffah rubbed Ghali's head rough. "Thank you dear..." Say Iffah with slightly teary eyes. "Yes, because today you pay, you accompany your brother to go dress and you also have to pay." Pinta Iffah is ruling.

　

"0keeeeeeeeh... Princess queen please ride." Ghali stretched out his left palm to hold Iffah's body while riding Ghali's sport bike which is a little high and difficult for Iffah to ride.

　

They left the building that had started to quiet that afternoon.

　

But when Iffah realized, a pair of Toni's eyes looked at him from a distance.

　

"Is that her boyfriend? No way, it must be her husband." Tony looked disappointed at the sight he saw. "They look so close."

　

Toni's attitude again looks cold, he drove his car and left the building where he started working all day.

　

*****

　

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..." Toni melangakah with gontai entering a magnificent house that only a few months ago began to inhabit.

　

"Wa'alaikumussalam..." A middle-aged woman came up to him while pushing an old woman's wheelchair with wrinkled skin and almost evenly white hair.

　

　

"Grandmother's afternoon, bi Chellin's afternoon..." Toni raised her head slightly to greet the woman she called bi Chellin.

　

"So much, dear..." Saut them almost simultaneously.

　

"How was your first day in the office, son?." Ask grandma in her special voice.

　

"Alhamdulillah grandma, fluent. Grandma and aunty just pray Toni, let Toni be a reliable child." Pintanya.

　

"Dear, we always pray for you, son. But you also have to keep trying." Chellin.

　

"Yes bi". Saut Toni with a small smile.

　

"Yes already, take a shower. You must be tired, ommu just relax from now on." Chellin's orders are smooth.

"Yes bi." Toni according. He immediately stood up and stepped towards his room.

　

"Surely everything still feels heavy for Toni ma'am." Chellin said softly with a slight whisper. His face still turned towards Toni who was slowly disappearing behind the divider of the room.

　

"Everything takes Chellin's process, but I'm sure Toni is able to slowly treat the wounds of her past. He just needs the support of us and his loved ones. I always prayed for her kindness. I hope she'll be happy one day with someone who knows who and where she is." Said Grandma with her eyes that blurred slightly teary.

　

"Yes ma'am, Chellin was hoping for the same. For Chellin, Toni was Chellin's only child. Especially at the age of Chellin and Bobi is dusk." The sincerity of every word came out of the middle-aged woman's mouth.

　

"Mother is so happy Chellin. You're just like your late mother, fine. I don't know what would have happened without you. If one day you're gone..."

　

"What is this mother talking about?." Cut Chellin fast.

　

"Not everyone will meet his end, whether old, young, sick or healthy. Especially an old and sick mother like this." Granny softly said.

　

　

"Yes ma'am, Chellin knows... But don't talk about it. Let's go back inside." Invite chellin to end their conversation that afternoon, turning back the grandmother-occupied wheelchair and pushing it inward.
