DEW PURITY

Zahra Fauziah

"Assalammualaikum aunty!"

"Waalaikumsalam dear, sit down!" sahut Aira was friendly, Kanaya nodded. His right hand moved the chair backwards. Kanaya placed her small backpack right in front of her. Aira smiled at the niece whose age was not too far away from her.

Kanaya turned to the right and to the left. But he did not see anything he was looking for. Aira understood the reason for Kanaya's attitude. Who or what is Kanaya looking for? Aira could already guess, without asking Kanaya first. With a smile behind her veil. Aira stared fixedly at Kanaya's two beautiful eyeballs. Aira's right hand slapped the back of Kanaya's hand.

"Call Kanaya, it's not him who came here. As per your request, the aunt requested to meet with her assistant. Then, if you look for Rizal and Faiz. They're playing on the next door. Faiz whined, he got tired of being here!" aira said, Kanaya lowered her head. His hand clasped tightly, the warm touch of Aira was unable to make his frozen heart melt.

"I'm sorry Kanaya, if Kanaya can't be professional. I met him again and thought everything was okay. It was not as easy as Kanaya had imagined. Even though my heart never wanted to hate him. Yet being cold and pretending never to know her was too painful for Kanaya!" kanaya said softly, Aira nodded in understanding of Kanaya's heart.

Relationships are created too quickly, leaving a disappointed heart. But love that blossoms without a word, leaving a love that is so deep. The pain, the neglect. Longing, when turning Hate, when abandoned. The dilemma of a loving heart, but separated by ego and self-esteem. The feelings that Kanaya is feeling. When the heart longs, but the mind diverts and the soul ignores.

"Auntie understands your pain. Let time erase his name in your heart. Healing the wounds he left for you. Eliminate the love that is in your soul. It takes time and no one will ever take your time. You have the right to ask for as much time as you need to erase his name and love!" aira said softly, Kanaya lowered her head. Covering the fragile with rigidity that seems able to dispel even a big storm.

"You will not be able to erase the predestined name written on your heart. You will never forget the love that was created for you. You will not be able to break the rope of a soul mate that is already adrift with your soul. One thing you might do, sincerely establish a good relationship with him. In order for the love between two people, it turns into the love of fellow Muslims!" rizal said firmly, Kanaya and Aira turned their heads together. Aira immediately stared fixedly at Rizal. While Kanaya lowered her head, covering up her sense of dreadlocks for the meeting with Haykal.

"Darling, what did I say right? The proof is that I am sincere with my love. I love you without wishing I could be with you. But if the soul mate is already adrift, the distance and time that will not be able to hinder a union. How big is anger? Any pain, any wound? As strong as rejection? All will lose by His decree. Honestly, Kanaya, I'm the first one who won't agree. If you'd been reunited!" rizal said firmly, Aira shook her head weakly. Rizal's words even made things more complicated.

"We better end this discussion. Now we focus on tonight's meeting. But before I start, where's his company representative? Why haven't you come yet? I only have three hours, before my departure tonight!"

"Eitherway? I asked him in time. Besides, why do you have to go? Didn't you promise to stay!" aira said irritatedly, Kanaya smiled behind her veil.

"Tante, I'm not leaving. I have a few days' business. When I'm done, I'll be back. After all, one more month of Hanif's wedding. There's no way I'm leaving, he could've destroyed his own party!" kanaya said in a happy-sounding voice. Rizal turned his head towards Aira, Rizal's gaze as if he was making fun of Aira. Because he had suspected Kanaya's departure.

"Don't mind Aunt Aira, you know she's getting old. Only the fear and worry of losing you was in his mind!"

"It's wrong, if I'm worried about Kanaya!" sahut Aira was upset, ignoring Rizal's insinuations. Kanaya stood up to Aira, affectionately. Kanaya hugged Aira from behind. Kanaya rested her head on Aira's shoulders.

"Kanaya dear aunt Aira!" kanaya shouted loudly, Aira smiled to receive the warmth Kanaya gave.

"Good night, sorry I'm late!"

"Good night, please sit down!" sahut Rizal, Kanaya and Aira were silent. They can't believe they saw Haykal coming. They were worried Haykal heard everything.

"Mr Haykal, where's your assistant!" said Aira lirih, Haykal was silent. His gaze locked onto Kanaya's face and body. He could not turn away from Kanaya. The woman who once knocked on his heart with love.

"Sorry, Fandy has other business. If you don't mind, I'll take his place!"

"Kanaya!" aira said softly, Kanaya shook her head weakly.

"Please!" sahut Aira lirih, Haykal was silent. His gaze could not be separated from Kanaya. Rizal understood Haykal's heart. He was in Haykal's position. Loving and longing are hindered by ego. Something that no one can easily pass?

Kanaya gave two copies of the file. There are some details that Kanaya will explain. Aira and Haykal received the file and immediately opened it. Rizal comes only to accompany Aira and Kanaya. Meeting Haykal or Fandy can't be without mahram. Therefore Rizal was only on the side. Accompany Aira with love.

Kanaya explained one by one the contents of the revised contract. Kanaya showed the improved design. Calmly and clearly, Kanaya explained everything. Aira and Haykal listened without telling. Not even Haykal's gaze turned away from Kanaya. Not just a pretty face, but Kanaya's cleverness began to tease Haykal. Aira and Rizal continued to pay attention to Haykal. A longing that is so great and cannot be expressed.

"I've explained everything. If you have any questions, please tell me now. After tonight, the project is completely taken over by om Hanif!" kanaya said, Haykal turned his head towards Kanaya. There was discomfort in his heart. The farewell signal from Kanaya. A farewell that brings down the wounds in Haykal's heart.

"I mean!" sahut Haykal doesn't understand.

"Is it all because of my existence?" haykal said softly, Kanaya shook her head. Haykal sighed, there was a sense of heaviness that made his breath stop for a moment.

"I may not be professional by avoiding meeting with older brother. But believe me, I'm not an irresponsible coward for his job. Since this town left a wound. Since then, I have never lived in this city. I just came, when I was cursed!"

"I'm sorry if I hurt you!"

"Slowly, the wound has been cut. I feel the pain. Fear filled my life. Now, I'm learning to make peace with this feeling. Seeking the tranquility that once disappeared. Not hate or blame, for all is written of His decree. There is no right to oppose, what is fated? My faith rejects hatred of you!" kanaya said firmly, Kanaya stood up and kissed the back of Aira's hand.

"Tante, Kanaya parting. Once we get there, Kanaya will call auntie!" kanaya said, Aira nodded.

"Take care of yourself, go back to your chosen priest. It's time for aunty to hold a grandchild!"

"Two sons of Rafan's brother, it's enough to call you grandma!" sahut Kanaya teased, Haykal lowered his head. His hand was stuck right on his chest. It was painful when I heard the hope that came from Aira's lips. Kanaya's happiness with others, as if a sharp dagger piercing her heart. Stopping the heartbeat that has been beating with one despair.

"Om Rizal, look after Aunt Aira. Don't let him think of this beautiful niece!" kanaya said teasing Aira.

"Tante Kanaya!" shouted Faiz, a four-year-old boy who was seen running a little towards Kanaya.

"Beautiful aunt!" zahra said loudly, a three-year-old girl who liked Kanaya since their first meeting.

Bruuukkk

"It's my tant!" shouted the two, scrambling to hug Kanaya.

"No need to scramble, aunt of both of you!" kanaya said, hugging Faiz and Zahra's bodies together.

"Faiz, come here, baby. Aunt Kanaya has to go, the plane is leaving!" aira said, Faiz nodded slowly. Then I walked over to Aira.

"Zahra, come here baby!" said Haykal, Zahra walked slowly towards Haykal. Kanaya stared at Haykal's happiness. When Zahra hugged Haykal's body tightly and lovingly.

"Zahra Fauziah!" haykal said softly, Kanaya smiled behind her veil.

"A pretty name, in harmony with the beauty of her face. May you be a proud child of both parents!" kanaya said, Aira looked at Kanaya nanar. It is clear that the pain is stored behind Kanaya's sincere prayer for Zahra.

"It's time for me to leave, in two hours my plane leaves!" pamit Kanaya, then twist her body. Kanaya walked away from Haykal. I hope his heart calms down again.

"You didn't ask, who is Zahra?" haykal said loudly, Kanaya shook her head weakly without turning her head towards Haykal.

"Why?"

"Why should I ask about my brother's happiness? While the reason my brother left me, I never asked or wanted me to know. Besides, the happiness I saw answered all my anxieties. My fear all this time, not the fear of losing or living away from you. But I'm afraid to think about my sister's life without anyone? After seeing the happiness covered with a smile full of sincerity. Brother deserves to be happy, have a small family intact. Never think about the past relationship between us. Let's just say the relationship between us was never real!"

"If you wish I was happy. Why are you still struggling with the past? You must rise and find true love!"

"I'm happy to be aware of all 0rangs!" sahut Kanaya relaxed, as it passed.

"But your cold, kill me!" inner Haykal pilu.
