DEW PURITY

The Dawn

"You're awake!" The greeting of Faith was friendly, right after he came home from the mushola. Abra nodded, while scratching his non-itchy nape. Abra was embarrassed to wake up.

Faith just smiled at the look on Abra's embarrassed face. Although Iman was a religious leader, he would not force Abra to worship. Although it is all mandatory law. Faith prefers to be silent and wait for the heart of Abra to be knocked. Like this morning, Iman deliberately forbade the Dew to wake Abra. Because Iman was sure, Abra would wake up at dawn to say hello. Although a little late, but Abra can still perform dawn prayers alone.

"I'm sorry, Abra woke up late!" Sahut Abra, Iman nodded slowly.

"Have dawn prayers?"

"Alhamdulillah has, but Abra has not found the Dew!" Abra said in confusion, Abah turned to the right and to the left. Faith tries to find the figure of Dewun, but the result is nil. Dew does not appear almost in all corners of the house. Then, Iman looked up at the clock on the wall. At first glance Iman mangosteen seems, as if to understand the reason Dew disappeared.

"Usually this hour Dewun walks around the village. Sometimes the Dew goes to the fields, picks up some vegetables. Was Dew not saying goodbye?" Iman said softly, Abra was silent and then nodded slowly.

"So Abra had heard Dewun asking for permission. Abra kira Dew permission down. Understandably, Abra was still in the bathroom!"

"You can't hear it!" Said the Faith, Abra looked down in shame.

Wake up less than 05:00 a.m. It's not easy for an Abra. During this time, Abra woke up an hour before leaving for work. More precisely, Abra woke up the morning at 07:00 a.m. While in the Dewun house, more precisely in the village. Abra should be able to wake up early. The villagers' habit, waking up right after the rooster crowed. Before the dawn said hello, they were already busy.

"There's no need to worry, Dew won't be long. In half an hour, he usually comes back. Now sitting with you, Dew has prepared a cup of coffee and boiled cassava!"

"Coffee!"

"When did he get it ready?" Inner Abra.

"Yes coffee, not you like coffee. Looks like Dew also knows, if you have a history of hulls!" Said the Faith, Abra immediately turned his head with a look of wonder.

"I mean!"

"See this writing, Dew forbid you to drink coffee. Before you eat your toast!" Saying Faith, while laughing to see the concern of Dewun to Abra. Instead Abra was astonished, when Dew found out the pain.

"Not to be confused, sit down with Abah now!" Pinta Iman, Abra shook her head slowly.

"Abra wants to meet Dew!" Abra said softly, Abah Iman nodded in understanding.

"Walk to the left side, later when there is a fork. You take the left side, after the village field there is an elementary school. The school where Dew teaches. You can meet the Dew there. Usually the Dew stands staring at the dawn of the hill behind the school!" Abah Iman said, Abra nodded slowly.

"Assalammualaikum!" Pamit Abra, then kissed the back of Abah Iman's hand.

"Wait Abra!" Call for Faith, when you see Abra running outside.

"Wear the motorcycle, it's pretty far away!"

"No need Abah!" Sahut Abra lantang.

In high spirits, Abra walked out of the courtyard of the Dewun house. Abra followed the instructions of the Faith. Abra continued to step, the cold air of the village pierced the bones of Abra. The air is so cool, far from the pollution of the village. The atmosphere was calm, making Abra's heart calm. The friendliness of the villagers, when greeting Abra. The more aware Abra the meaning of brotherhood. Abra was happy, received a warm welcome from the neighbors of Dewun.

Abra continued to step up, after ten minutes. New Abra found a fork. There was a sigh of relief from Abra's lips, as if Abra was beginning to feel tired. Abra continued on his way, until he finally saw an elementary school built on high ground. Abra was getting excited, thinking he would soon meet Dewun.

"Why are the school stairs so high?" Abra grumbled when he saw the stairs leading to the school. Obviously the school was purposely built on higher ground. In order not to experience landslides like the others.

"Mr Abra!"

"You!" Sahut Abra was shocked, Nur nodded slowly.

"Mr Abra is looking for Dew!" Nur said, Abra nodded slowly. Nur's house is not far from the school. Since the T-junction, Nur has seen Abra. That's why Nur followed Abra. Fear Abra has trouble finding Dew.

"Where is my naughty wife?"

"He is on the hill, the field of Faith is there. Dew sometimes comes, just want to say hello to the dawn!" Nur said, pointing at the hill that was right behind the school.

"Thank you!" Sahut Abra, then ran towards the hill designated Nur.

"Darling, your happiness is simple. But in your happiness, I found warmth. If you come this far for the sake of dawn. I ran this fast, for the sake of my first Dew. Thank you for being a part of my life!" Inner Abra, when he saw the Dew standing upright staring at the dawn that began to burst from the eastern horizon.

"Darling!" Sapa Abra warm, while hugging the warm Dew. Dew nodded slowly, no surprise when he saw that Abra was already behind him.

"No, as long as I can hold you!"

"Darling!" Whisper Abra, Dew turned towards Abra. Looking at the face that was now right on his shoulders.

"Now I realize, the reason for your fear!"

"Sister means!"

"Nearly half an hour I walked down this village road. The first time I stepped on the village road. I felt an immeasurable warmth. Such perfect tranquility. Warm villagers, cold mornings, fresh air and cool Dewunku. A beauty you won't easily leave behind. Moreover, the dawn is so warm, the perfection of the morning that we can not leave!" Abra said softly, while still leaning on the shoulders of the Dewun.

"Then, it means we can stay in the village!" Said the Dew casually, Abra nodded slowly.

"If that's what you want!" Sahut Abra loudly, right after Abra nodded.

"Seriously, we can stay here. I don't have to leave you alone!" Dew is full of joy.

"You're happy, that's enough for me. I'm going to work from here. If it's too late, I'll stay at Abimata's residence. I'll be home tomorrow morning!" Abra said softly, while hugging the Dew very tightly.

"Sister is really serious. We don't have to live in the city!"

"Dear, I better go back and forth. Than I should have seen your sorrows!"

"Thank you brother, you answered my anxiety!" Dew full of happiness. Abra tapers gently the shoulders of the Dew. Abra's loving desire, makes her able to fight the world. Passing tens of kilometers to meet the Dewinya morning.

"Thank you for you too. Your presence makes me alive. No longer am I breathing. Now I can breathe calmly. You made me know the meaning of happiness!"

"Sister!"

"What's wrong?" Sahut Abra was astonished, when he heard the worried tone of Dewun.

"What about your family? They won't agree you're settled in the village. Marrying me was a mistake, living in the village. It means that you made a mistake the second time!" Said Dew anxiously.

"This marriage we are living, no one has the right to forbid us!"

"But!"

"Trust me, everything will be fine!" Abra assured me.

Abra closed her eyes, her hands still hugging the slender body of Dew so tightly. Abra felt a refreshing morning breeze. The warm dawn began to greet him. It felt like he was hitting his handsome face. Dew stared at the dawn full of admiration and happiness. There is something that makes the Dew so happy.

"Sister!"

"Hmmm!" Abra said, The Dew releases Abra's embrace. Then pull Abra's hand, until it stands right in front of him. Now the Dew is not staring at dawn, but the handsome face of the husband.

"Sir Abra is handsome. Thank you for caring about the feeling of the Dew. It was so happy to hear it. For the first time, Dewun heard someone understand the deepest desires of the heart. But there is one thing that cannot be denied. Responsibility as a teacher who must continue to follow the steps of his priest. The job as a rib that must strengthen, not weaken. A wife who will continue to serve her husband. For all that, I shouldn't have stayed here. Although it is comfortable and my tenants are only here. I still have to get out of here. To find peace on your side!"

"Darling!" Abra said he did not believe. Abra's gaze locked onto the pretty face of the soulmate Dew. The dew winked, hinting that everything he said was true.

"Sister Abra, the dawn I see every day in this village is not alive. But the dawn that stood before me was real and alive. The dew will accompany the dawn steps. Like the dew that is present, when the dawn greets. The dawn warms the morning, creates cool dew and melts the cold mist. Abra, you are the dawn I have been waiting for. Your warmth has broken the cold of my heart. It taught me the true meaning of sacrifice. Now your Dew is ready to follow, where does the dawn say hello?"

"Darling, you're serious!" Abra said he did not believe.

"I believe there will be happiness for me beside you. But your dew is not as hard as river water. The drops are too small and will not be able to break the stone. One day, I kept shining drops of dew so I could carve them on the stone. If the dawn is tired of shining on the Dew, do not go without saying goodbye. Say it out loud, for Dew to learn to live without the dawn!" Dew said, Abra was silent.

"Teach me love you, because loving you is not as easy as staring at you!" Whisper Dew, hugging Abra. The dew stared fixedly at the dawn that was shining on him and Abra. The warm dawn drives away the cold in the heart of the Dew. Abra's body is sculpting, the embrace of the Dew anesthetizes all his nerves and veins. Not the warm that felt, the hot sizzle flowed profusely in his veins.

"Thank you for understanding me by loving my life. Now I find the dawn in my cycle. The dawn continues to shine, though sometimes its presence is not welcomed. Brother Abra, the way you love me has convinced me. If your heart sincerely accepts me. With all my flaws and weaknesses. The dawn, now I find my light and my warmth!" Inner Dew, while sticking his head far away in the warm embrace of Abra.
