DEW PURITY

Aqeel Faiz Ellyas

"Mama, sorry Auntie Dew!" hello Haykal clumsy, Dew looked up. The blink of an eye Dew, asserting Haykal's friendly greeting. Smile of the Dew, a gesture of warmth that the Dew showed at Haykal.

"Sit down!" pinta Dew politely, Haykal nodded while pulling the chair. Haykal sat down without even raising his face. Either the guilt of Kanaya's pain or Haykal was too embarrassed to meet Dew?

Dew stared fixedly at the young man who had been his son-in-law. Dew felt sorry for Haykal and Kanaya's separation. But their separation must happen. Especially since Dewun knows someone who is now close to Kanaya. The guilt of the Dew is getting bigger on Haykal.

"Heykal!"

"Yes!" sahut Haykal, his head raised perfectly. His two eyeballs met with a gaze full of warmth from the beautiful eyes of Dew.

"Call me as comfortable as you are, there's no need to be afraid I'm angry at your call. Your relationship with Kanaya is over, but the family relationship that once existed between us. It won't be easy to end. Just like Kanaya, I also consider you a son. For that reason, I'm meeting you today!" soft Dew said, Haykal stared full haru.

Haykal was calm hearing the words Dewun. It was like a drop of morning dew that fell on his arid heart. Sounds so cold and soothing. Haykal felt such genuine affection from Dewun. There is no hatred for past wounds caused by it. Missing the love of a mother. Pay off with just one word from Dewun. Haykal seemed to feel the presence of a family he no longer had.

"Mama!" call Haykal down in a stifled voice. The Dew blinked both eyes, the Dew signal confirming Haykal's warm call.

Haykal does not believe in the relationship that remains between him and Dewun. Even the entire Kanaya family, never held any anger or blamed him. But all the happiness of Haykal, will never be complete. When Kanaya is no longer with him and no longer thinks he exists.

"Haykal, there's something I want to show you. A truth you never knew. The truth may hurt your heart, but believe whatever I say now. Not just for Kanaya's sake, but for yours. Son-in-law whom I consider to be my real son!"

"Mama, why do I feel something so strange? My heart ached, as if my mother's truth would ruin my life!" said Haykal stammered, Dew stared at Haykal nanar. Not long after, I saw a nod to the head of Dewun. The Dew signal confirmed the hunch Haykal said.

"Haykal, it's time you found out. The reason Kanaya can no longer accept the love you offer!"

"If it hurts too much, can you not say it. Honestly, I couldn't have heard the truth that much more hurtful. Enough goodbyes between me and Kanaya, not anymore!" haykal said, shaking his head. The silent dew is silent, but there is a great belief that strengthens the Dew. All I have to say is, there is no more time to put it off.

"Haykal, look down. Right in the direction of the mosque in front of this restaurant!" pinta Dewun, Haykal immediately turned his head.

Dewun and Haykal are on the balcony of the second floor of the restaurant belonging to the Abimata Family. Restaurants run by Hanna. Deliberately Dew met with Haykal at the restaurant. The truth that Dew wants to say, will be seen from the second floor of this restaurant. Haykal who felt confused, still followed the words Dewun. He looked in the direction that Dew said. In less than five minutes, Haykal's two eyeballs were perfectly rounded. There was a sense of disbelief, when he saw a figure standing right in front of the mosque. The calmness when looking at him, turned into a sense of surprise that was able to stop his heartbeat.

"Kanaya!"

"Yes, she's my daughter Kanaya!" sahut Dew softly, Haykal stared intently. Not a second did his eyes blink. Kanaya was not far from him, revealing a sense capable of killing him.

"Who is Kanaya's chosen priest!" haykal said hesitating and in disbelief. A voice full of wounds and pain. Seemed Dew shaking his head. Haykal didn't understand the meaning of the Dew's headband. A real answer, but it holds so great a secret.

"He was not Kanaya's chosen priest, but he was the right man for Kanaya. But the advantages do not necessarily make Kanaya choose him or reject him. Kanaya was standing right beside him, but her heart and soul were far away from him. Their relationship is real, but Kanaya's doubts are obvious!"

"Mama, who is she?"

"Aqeel, a chef at this restaurant. He's a man who's close to Kanaya. The closeness they base on faith. Because of Him, they met at one time. For the sake of prostrating to HIM, they are under one roof. The voice of the Azaan becomes their unifier. As at this time, they walked in concert bowing their heads and bowing before Him!" said Dew lirih, the softness of Daggers that tore Haykal's heart. The truth will be the perfect figure that now accompanies Kanaya.

"Should I step back?"

"Excess that was never in me. My love may be sincere, but this love is lust without faith. I hope to become the priest of the Kanaya afterlife. But not once did I lead Kanaya to HIS jannah. The pseudo-love that I offer, is like a grain of pebbles in the water of fear offered by him!"

"Haykal, I'm sorry you have to be honest. Until this moment, neither Kanaya nor Aqeel ever came to mama or papa. Not even once did Kanaya tell him about Aqeel. Mama and papa won't interfere, whoever Kanaya chooses? Mom believes it's the best. Simply twice Kanaya was injured, no longer a third time. Kanaya deserves to be happy!"

"If he's a chef!" sahut Haykal doesn't believe it.

"Haykal, all this time mama and papa observed. We're not going to ban Kanaya from being close to anyone? Once we're sure, he's a good guy!"

"No more chance for me!" haykal said, Dew shook his head weakly.

"Kanaya has not decided, whether or not your chance. Depending on your faith, is there your love and sincerity for Kanaya? Either he or you have the same chance. Unless you choose to retreat, mama won't hold him back!" said Dewun, Haykal lowered his head without a sound. The dew sees a love covered in wounds. Haykal felt helpless, as if his hopes with Kanaya were coming to an end.

Tap Tap Tap

"Excuse me, mom called me!" aqeel said kindly, Dew blinked both his eyes. The signal he requested Aqeel to come closer to him. Haykal turned his head doubtfully, hesitating to meet a man who was able to knock on Kanaya's heart and faith.

"Two more days, Kanaya's birthday. I want to make a simple party. Please prepare a special team. I want the dish to be perfect!" pinta Dew, Aqeel nodded without looking at Dew's eyes. Subject Aqeel's head, show his manners to Dewun. Respect for the status of the Dew, also respect for the elder.

"Good ma'am, I'll prepare!" aqeel said, then asked for permission to return to the kitchen. Haykal fell silent fixated, looking at the handsome and shady figure of Aqeel. Serenity in the words of Aqeel, revealed clearly the faith and piety of Aqeel.

"Wait!"

"Yes mom!" sahut Aqeel, while stopping his steps. Aqeel stood back where he was.

"Where will Kanaya celebrate?"

"I mean mom!" sahut Aqeel.

"Kanaya, must have told you!" said Dewun, Aqeel immediately lowered his head.

"I'm sorry I've been so sassy with Miss Dew!"

"Sister, get back to work. I'll explain it to my mom!" pinta Kanaya is friendly. Aqeel immediately turned away, not once did Aqeel turn to Haykal. A man who feels angry at his presence in Kanaya's life.

"Sister Aqeel, this is the last time I hear you apologize to others about our friendship. This relationship is not wrong and cannot be blamed!" kanaya said softly, Aqeel looked down deeper and deeper. Haykal pensively heard the words of Kanaya. The defense sounds full of love and sincerity.

"Who is your chosen priest!" inner Haykal pilu.
