Syakila stood up and picked up her bag, then she kissed the back of her mother and grandmother's hands before she left.
"Oh yes Mah! Asya forgot, Asya had not yet taken Fatma's clothes, where was Mah's clothes?" I realized I had forgotten her sister's clothes.
"Just get me, Mama put it in Mama's closet." Sarmi said as she walked towards the clothes rack and picked up Fatma's clothes.
"Here, love your sister. Tell him this shirt was his papa's gift." Sarmi handed the shirt to Syakila.

"Be careful on the road!" Sarmi. Syakila nodded, "Yes Mah."
Syakila returned to the village on foot alone. For going back to the village and to the garden of his daily work. Making Syakila not afraid to walk alone anymore. Even though between the village and the garden it passes through the forest and also the public cemetery.
Syakila hastened her path so that she quickly reached the village, she does not want to stay on the road. Arriving at the village, Syakila goes to her aunt's house to meet her sister, Fatma.
It just so happened that Syakila saw her sister, Fatma who was closing a small stall selling her aunt. Syakila approached and greeted her brother.
"Sister, Syakila came to see sister."
Fatma could not help but with the arrival of her sister, she just kept closing her small stall board until it was finished. After that, he answered his sister's words.
"Why did you find brother here?" Fatma asked curiously.
Syakila took out some of Fatma's clothes from her bag. "Syakila came to give this to sister" Syakila said as she gave the shirt to Fatma. Fatma took the shirt and read the writing on the clear plastic package on the shirt. "Fatma, man,"
"That's a dress for brother, a gift from papa." Syakila.
"Oh, is this all?" Fatma asked reluctantly. Syakila felt her arrival was undesirable, so she did not want to linger there.
The important thing is that I've brought her clothes, I'll just go home. For what's linger here.

"Yes, this is it. Then Syakila goes home now" he said, holding back his bag. "Send my regards to aunt and om, yes sis!" his message before he finally left the house of the aunt without waiting for the advice of Fatma, his super cute brother.
The time has entered Maghrib Syakila just arrived at his home. He opened the door and entered the house. Since he had eaten in the garden before returning home, Syakila did not cook for dinner.
He immediately went to bathe, clean himself and changed clothes to perform his own Maghrib prayers at home. After the prayer, he read the short letters while waiting for Isha's time to come.
Allah Akbar... Allahu Akbar
Allah Akbar.. Allahu Akbar
"It is Isha's prayer." murmured Syakila.
Syakila immediately stopped her salary, after she heard the sound of the Adhan reverberating in the mosque. He rushed to the mosque to pray Isha there.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullah" said Syakila slowly while turning her head to the right and to the left ending her prayer. Along with the other worshippers present, and led by a priest they raised both hands to pray.

Halim had just finished his Isha prayer at the mosque. He came out with Denis. Well, for the first time Denis followed Halim praying in the mosque, usually he prayed alone at home. They walk home and tell stories.
"Bang, next Sunday night accompany Denis to meet Samnia again, Bang!" pinta Denis's.
"No, just go yourself! Why should you accompany me? You want you to be the audience watching you two, right? Brother doesn't want to!" reject Halim.
"Bang, don't dong! What's wrong with Denis?" denis glanced at Halim.
"No!" halim quickly answered. "Easy! Sunday night is also still a long time." he continued when he saw the change in look on Denis' face. Halim grabbed Denis' shoulder. "Abang does not promise to accompany you there later, but you just order to you. As a guy, you have to appreciate your partner's feelings. Don't hurt him with a rude attitude, nor with a sharp speech."
"Huh, the message of this brother, is like giving advice only to the bride who is getting married. Denis doesn't want to get married, Bang!" complained Denis.
"If you don't want to get married yet, don't date! If Samnia asked to marry, how would you respond? You gonna tell her you're not ready to get married? Didn't he? So get ready to go back to being single! Women need reassurance in a relationship!" Halim gave understanding to Denis. "Leg look at your age, it's appropriate for you to get married" he continued saying giving advice.
True also said Brother Halim, my age is not young anymore. Mama and papa also often said and told me to get married soon. Is it time for me to take my romance seriously? But I still doubt.
inner Denis.
"If from the girl who does not want to marry how Bang?" ask Denis.
"Ask him what the reason is, why refuse to marry? If the reason makes sense, you can think again about the next step. If the reason does not make sense, just break up looking for another, serious to coexist difficult or happy with you." Halim again advised Denis.
"Yes Bang!" sahut Denis without wanting to deny or refute Halim's speech again.
"Have you ever been rejected by a girl when you asked her to get married?" Halim asked curiously.
Denis silent. He took a long breath. "Actually, yes Bang. Denis has been rejected, not once but many times. Hence_"
"You don't want to get married and have a serious relationship? So, hum?" halim cuts Denis speech
"Yes Bang! Denis was very serious and loved her. But he's playing Denis." said Denis sadly.
"You should make a strong reason to encourage yourself to immediately find another woman who is serious about dealing with you until marriage, so that you can prove to her that she is not just him. Not even if you fall this way in a relationship, he will laugh at you as a weak man." Halim gave advice again.
"Hum, yes Bang. Hence, Brother help Denis." said Denis sadly.
Halim breathed out his rough breath. "Hum" he answered briefly. There was no more conversation between the two of them. Silence now dominates them.
It doesn't feel like they've reached home. They'll go inside immediately. As usual they were greeted at the dinner table by Anton's employees. And told them to join the meal.
"Bang Halim, Denis, let's go eat together" one of Anton's employees asked.
"Hum, thank you." said Halim while pulling the bench out a little from the dining table, then he sat down. And so did Denis. They ate in silence, only the sound of spoon-friction was heard in their ears.
Inside Anton's house, he provides a female worker to take care of the house and kitchen. So for food needs they are all guaranteed.
After finishing eating, Halim and the others went into their rooms for rest.
Halim laid herself on the bed and stared at the ceiling of the room. He was thinking something.
"From tomorrow I will build a house in stages. I'll ask Denis and the others to help me."
"So I have to close the tempo. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna talk about this with Denis."
"Where are my children and my wife? Are they okay? This morning my chest was tight, and my mind was on my wife. What happened to her?"
"Anton, when are you coming back here? I can't wait to ask you about my son and wife."
Halim murmured before she fell asleep.
