Destiny Syakila

eps18

"Did he papa and Sardin miss me? Well maybe, until they come to visit me through a dream, can I believe that dream?"

It seems that Syakila was worried because of the dream she had just experienced. Although it was only a dream but it seemed so real to him.

And now Syakila's body was quite fresh, not limp like this morning. Long Syakila muttered to herself, finally she stopped her murmur and the delusion of her dream earlier.

Syakila got up from her bed and changed her school clothes and went to the kitchen to cook something to fill her empty stomach.

After cooking he ate it and after he finished eating he worked on his pr. To fill her time, she went to her aunt's house to visit her brother there.

Syakila had reached her aunt's house and she found her aunt sitting in the front seat of her house. Syakila. "Assalamu 'alaikum, Auntie."

"Wa 'alaikum greetings, son. Tumben to Aunt's house? Usually if not forced by Resti, you will not come here" said the Aunt Syakila.

Syakila answered her aunt casually. "Hehehe Auntie don't say that, Syakila coming to Auntie's house was never forced, really."

"Oh yes Bibi, how is Fatma's brother, we have rarely met, and he has not been traveling again to the house." he continued talking and asking about the condition of his brother, the Fatma.

The aunt answered him a little harshly, "Fatma is fine, don't ask your sister, your sister's life here is much better."

As for who understood his aunt's intentions, he smiled a little, then he said to her.

"Alhamdulillah, if you're okay. Aunty, our life is also not much different from my sister's life here. No matter what our needs are, our parents can always meet."

The aunt was silent to the polite speech of her niece, she spoke insinuatingly against her words.

"Auntie, I'll tell you to come see me at home tomorrow. I want to take my brother to see his mother and sisters in the garden tomorrow, grandma also wants to see my sister" he said again.

Aunt Mila nodded, "Hum, Auntie will tell your sister, but Aunt is not sure she will come to the garden." said the aunt.

Syakila smiled, "Yes Aunt, if you miss your mom and sisters, and grandma, you will definitely come to the garden" he said with confidence. "It's good to go home to Auntie first." he continued saying goodbye.

"Hum" said the aunt briefly. Syakila went straight home after hearing her aunt's brief speech.

My sister has changed since I lived with my aunt. His attitude towards us was already very indifferent. Even as papa used to say goodbye to go to town A, Fatma's attitude behaved like she was not the son of papa.

My sister's attitude was indifferent while still living with us, but not as bad as now. I used to care about my mom and dad. But now it's another. Brother seems to no longer care about our existence.

What is the attitude of a sister like this because.. because mama's life is not the same as aunty's life? Ah no! It's just my feeling.

Syakila continued to bathe as long as she walked home.

In accordance with his plan, Nanda is now in the garden to meet Sarmi, his former brother-in-law. He wanted to clarify the news he heard.

Sarmi who happened to be relaxing in the gode that afternoon, he smiled happily at the presence of Nanda in his garden. Sarmi welcomes Nanda warmly, even though they have not been related to each other since Nanda officially divorced Ikhsan, her husband's sister. But they still establish friendship as fellow people, even they have assumed brother and sister.

"Sir Nanda? Let's take a seat here." Sarmi asked while patting the gode floor next to her.

Nanda sat down beside Sarmi. "Sister here alone? What brought you here to see me, here?" sarmi asked again after Nanda sat down beside her.

"Sister.." Nanda paused his words. "Someone wants you to talk to, but before you don't take offense to what you say." she continued.

"What is that about, brother? It seems very important, isn't it?" sarmi asked curiously.

Nanda looked towards Sarmi, to be honest he hesitated to speak but he was also curious if he did not talk about this directly.

"What's up, brother?" ask Sarmi again when Nanda is still faithful with silence.

"It's about you, Sarmi. Brother heard the news that Halim went to A city, is that true?" ask Nanda carefully.

Uh! Apparently the news had spread, even to the ears of Nanda who lived in the village next door from my village. Huh! This must have been spread by Ayu. Inner Sarmi

Nanda shook his head, "Not from Ayu, but from a neighbor's sister in the market. So you want to ascertain the truth yourself." replied Nanda explained. "So, is that true?" ask again.

"Yes, that's right! Mas Halim has been there for three weeks." replied Sarmi with a head down.

"Why did you allow it? Can't you reflect on my broken sister's household?" nanda asked with pressure at the end of the sentence.

Sarmi lowered her head to hear Nanda's statement, This is what Sarmi meant so that the news of her husband's departure is not spread. He didn't want to until Nanda heard it. Because Nanda once bound Sarmi with a promise not to allow Halim to wander into A, he did not want to see Sarmi's household destroyed like his own. After all Halim and Ikhsan are siblings, and their attitude is more or less the same.

"I'm sorry, brother!" sarmi apologized for feeling guilty for not keeping his promise to Nanda.

"I can't help my husband's good intentions, nor can I see him disappointed that I didn't let him go just because of my selfishness" he continued.

Nanda took a long breath. "Actually you also have no right to interfere in your affairs, you just do not want what you have experienced, you will also experience it" he said while sobbing, re-imagine the bitter events he went through.

Sarmi embraces Nanda's shoulder and lets Nanda lean her head on her shoulder. Sarmi could understand the meaning of Nanda's words. Sarmi also knows how to love Nanda and Ikhsan. Sarmi cries as Nanda's tears break.

"Already, already, there's nothing else to cry about" Sarmi calmed Nanda down while stroking her shoulder. Even though he himself was crying. "Everything has passed, is it not now that you are happy with Askur?" he said again asking.

"What if Halim will do the same thing as Ikhsan, Sarmi?" asked Nanda sadly and still sobbing.

Sarmi smiled wryly. He also did not know what to do if it happened to him. Maybe it won't be as bad as Nanda.

"Sister, I don't know what Ikhsan's personality is, but I do know what my husband's personality is." Sarmi was silent for a moment. He took a long breath. "I can only surrender to God, if it is my destiny like that, I cannot avoid it." Sarmi fell silent again and continued his words. "I believe in my husband, brother. God willing, God will protect my husband from doing harm to him."

"Aamiin," said Nanda, agreeing with Sarmi's speech. Nanda wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry brother yah talked to you about this" he continued.

"It's okay, brother. I know your intentions are good for me too." said Sarmi with a smile.

"Sister should go home now!" his orders to Nanda. "Pity Askur mas and children older, later they look for the whereabouts of brother. I know you're here without saying goodbye to Askur, right?" tanyanya full of search.

Nanda smiled faintly, "Yes, my sister is not the same permission for Askur to come here, but she asked my mother-in-law for permission. And he allowed me." he explained.

Nanda wiped away the rest of her tears. "Then brother comes home first, you take good care of yourself, and if there is bad news about your husband, please tell brother" he said expectantly so that Sarmi remembered this speech.

Nanda, who has no sister, after he married Ikhsan and since Sarmi married Halim, the younger brother of Ikhsan, Nanda has considered Sarmi as his own younger brother. He loved Sarmi very much.

Sarmi smiled happily at Nanda, "Yes, Sarmi will tell my sister if there is anything bad about my husband" she said firmly.

"Promise dad?" sahut Nanda who does not believe Sarmi's words. "I promise, brother! The oath!" sarmi convinces Nanda.

Finally Nanda believed Sarmi's words, he said goodbye. "So, I'm going home now."

"So, be careful on the road!" sahut Sarmi's. Nanda immediately went home, before he gave some kind of cake to Sarmi to give to his children Sarmi.

This afternoon is the same as this morning, Halim keeps his sales alone. He put things into the store all, according to its location and after that he closed and locked the door of the store.

Then he immediately went home to rest for a while, before entering Maghrib time.

"Maybe this is only the beginning of work, the body feels so tired. Different as Denis, he was like not tired, maybe true to his words, over time all began to get used to it. For cape may remain tired but his fatigue will not be what I feel now."

Little murmured Halim along the way home. Arriving at home he was greeted warmly by Denis who was sitting relaxed on the porch bench of the house.

"How, Bang? Can you do it yourself? It's not hard, is it, Bang?" Denis railed against Halim with questions.

"Hum" answered Halim briefly while sitting on the bench next to Denis. "Lumayan is tired too!" continued saying.

Denis laughed at Halim's complaint. "That's just the beginning of Bang, long time will get used to it, and you will even like your job now. Success requires struggle and sacrifice, Bang!" he said to give advice and motivate Halim to stay upbeat.

"Hum." said Halim briefly. They both sit on the porch. Until they heard the sound of tahrim in the mosque, they immediately entered the house and cleaned themselves to perform Maghrib prayers together in the mosque.
