Destiny Syakila

eps9

At exactly 03:00 in the morning Syakila woke up from her sleep. He opened his eyes slowly and looked around and it was still dark. He saw the face of his father who was looking at the moon above the sky.

"Why not sleep?" ask her with a hoarse voice typical of new people waking up. Halim saw her son. He smiled, "Are you awake?"

Syakila. He got up and sat down beside his father.

"Sorry Pa, because Asya, Papa's not sleeping!" he said after realizing that he made his papa thigh as his pillow.

Halim stroked her son's hair gently. "Father who doesn't want to sleep yet, baby! Papa's not sleepy."

"Why isn't Papa sleepy? Is there anything Papa thinks?" ask Syakila again.

"How much do you think, baby! But it's Papa's business, baby!" answer Halim.

Syakila nodded as if she understood the intent of her father's words. "What time does it leave tomorrow?"

"Father tomorrow at 5am already leaving for port, baby! The ship leaves at 7 am, and Papa had to change the name on the ticket first. So Papa leaves early in the morning for the harbor, baby!" answer Halim explained.

Syakila nodded while yawning. Halim smiled at the second child. He put his son's body back on his lap.

"Sleep again!" his orders. "It's still a long time to change mornings." Halim said as she stroked her son's head back to make his thighs as a pillow.

Syakila got up and sat down next to her papa. "If Syakila sleeps! Syakila won't see Papa if Papa leaves tomorrow!" he said with sadness.

Halim understood with the intention of his son, Syakila was since the baby was close to him. If he cries first he will only stop crying when he is in his cradle.

"Sleep!" his orders again to Syakila. "Pope promise, Papa will wake you tomorrow if Papa will leave!" Halim persuades Syakila to obey him.

"What promise?" syakila made sure. He raised his little finger. Halim smiled.

He also raised his little finger and hooked it on his little finger. "Recent!" he said convince Syakila.

"All right! Then Syakila goes back to sleep, Dad?" he said while yawning. Halim nodded.

Syakila went back to lying down and put her head on her papa thigh. "Papa not tired if Syakila lay on Papa's thigh?"

Halim shook her head, "No dear!" answer's short. "Sleep!" orders again. Syakila yawned again, she was still sleepy.

Syakila finally fell asleep again in the lap of her papa. Halim smiled happily at the sight of her son. He stroked her long black hair gently.

"Hopefully in the future you will grow up to be a smart child, kind, helpful, and not arrogant to others. I pray that all your wishes will be achieved, my dear!"

Halim looked up again into the sky, as if he saw the face of his beloved wife was clearly drawn in the middle of the perfectly rounded moon.

Sarmi wife! I miss you, I feel like I want to meet and hug your body right now.

inner Halim.

...

At the same time Sarmi was sitting in the gode alone. She looked at the same moon as her husband.

Sarmi also seemed to see her husband's face there. "I miss you, my husband..."

"May you succeed there! And quickly come back to us.”

"Oh my God, protect my husband wherever he is. Ridhoi is at every step of his foot with grace and sustenance - You, O Allah. Aamiin's."

Sarmi continued to mutter in his solitude.

I miss your embrace, my husband!

inner Sarmi.

Sarmi and Halim were still both looking at the bright shining moon that adorned the dark sky. Their eyes were reluctant to shut, their minds thinking about each other. Until finally they close each other's eyes to imagine the face of his heart lover and say the word longing.

"I miss you!" say them together in separate places.

After saying that they reopened their eyes. Sarmi felt relief in her heart. Now his eyes were tired and sleepy he went to sleep near his youngest son and held him. He slept in a deep sleep.

...

Halim still faithfully looked at the moon. He was still not sleepy, many things were imprinted in his mind.

Tomorrow he will leave to wander in the people's region. I don't know what he'll get after he's there. Can he live a life of solitude there, without being accompanied by his beloved wife. Without being accompanied by funny voices from his children who always decorate his daily life.

For the 12 years since he married his wife, he has never separated from his children and wife. Only now will he leave his son and wife for the first time.

I don't think time goes so fast. The time is now at 04:30 in the morning.

Halim lifted her child's body slowly and carefully. He put his son to sleep in his room.

Halim immediately took a shower and got ready to leave. After he finished preparing he took his backpack out to the front. He checked all the equipment he carried, lest anyone forget.

Halim patted her cheeks and called out her name.

"Just like, wake up, baby! Yes, wake up.”

Asya squirms but she has not woken up. Halim tried to wake him up again.

"See, wake up baby! Papah wants to go, here.”

Syakila woke up and opened her eyes slowly. He saw his well-dressed father. "Is he leaving yet?"

"Dear baby, Papa's leaving now!"

"Will you wait for the car in front of the house or on the big road?" ask Syakila to know.

"The father told your uncle yesterday to pick up Papa here" replied Halim, holding his bag and wearing his black hat. He opened the door of his house, and stepped out of the house waiting for his brother-in-law's invitation.

Syakila followed his papa from behind. Arriving outside Syakila held her father's hand. Halim held her child's hand.

Not long from them waiting, now Ipar Halim has come to pick him up. "Have you waited a long time, Bang?" ask him about Halim.

"Not long ago, I just got out of the house!" answer Halim.

His brother-in-law nodded. "Come away now!" bring him. Halim nodded.

Halim squatted her body with her son's body. He stroked his son's head and kissed his forehead.

"Papa, go first, pray Papa let Papa succeed there and quickly come back for you, Dad!" pampered with a sad tone.

Syakila smiled and nodded. "Father Papa, Syakila will pray for Papa to succeed there and quickly return for us here" Syakila said calmly. In fact, he was holding back tears since he grasped the fingers of his papa hand earlier.

Halim can tell from the eyes of his son, if he is sad, because his son's eyes have begun to glaze over like him. And he remained calm and did not show sorrow in front of him.

Halim re-enforced her body, she had already turned around and stepped into the car. He paused for a moment when his fingers were held back by Syakila.

"What's up, son?" halim asked after he went back to his son.

Syakila. He kissed the back of his Papa's palm. "Father hearts there, don't forget us yes, Pa!”

Then without waiting for the answer Syakila immediately ran into the house. He was crying up there. Halim let her son just leave. He is the closest to his son so he is very familiar with the attitude of his son.

A single tear soaked his cheek, he immediately wiped it off. He turned around and saw his brother-in-law. Halim smiled, "Let's go, Bang!" bring him.

His brother-in-law immediately got into the car after seeing Halim who had entered first in the car. He took Halim to the port.

Arriving at the port of Halim immediately descended. He shook hands with his brother-in-law.

"Hopefully succeed there!" his brother-in-law encouraged Halim.

"Thank you, please Dad! To always monitor the state of my son and wife, Bang!" pinta Halim's.

"Yes, you calm down!" said his brother-in-law. Afterwards he left Halim there with the rest of the passengers.

Halim goes to the ticket booth, she issues the ticket in Anton's name and his ID card from the wallet.

"Excuse me!" he said after he stood in front of the counter.

"Bang She? Can I help you?" ask the counter officer.

"It's Bang, I just want to confirm on Anton's brother's report, to change the name on this ticket to my name" Halim said. He offered his ticket and ID to the counter officer.

"Oh yes, brother Anton yesterday contacted us. So it's gonna be replaced with your name?" ask the counter employee to make sure.

"Dad." answered Halim briefly.

The counter clerk is now busy with his computer, he replaces the ticket name from Anton to Halim as well as his age. After he finished replacing it he handed it back to Halim, his ticket and ID card.

"This is Mr. Halim's ticket" he said.

Halim took it and read it. "Thank you very much!" he said to the counter officer.

"Yes equally, the ship has been leaning since, please pass there to go to the ship. And the ship will leave at exactly 7 am" said the counter employee gave instructions to Halim.

"Okay, thanks again!" halim said sincerely.

After getting an answer from the counter guards, Halim immediately headed to the ship.

It was the first time for Halim to board a large ship to sail. With a strong determination also full of courage Halim approached the stairs of the ship and by saying the basmalah Halim riding it.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim" he said as he set his right foot on the first steps of the ship. Until he finally got into the boat. He was looking for a place there, he was deliberately looking for a place on deck 5. Because it was so easy for him if he wanted to see the sea.
