Don't Take My Son

New Spirit

"Why doesn't Neng want to continue school?" Faisal looked at the girl in front of him who was sitting leaning against the wall with a blank look. He calls Kharisa with the call Neng as is the custom in his neighborhood calling Neng for the call of girls. They were on the porch of the house that Kharisa occupied one month. The chanting of the holy verse of the Quran sounds melodious from the mosque loudspeakers recited by the boarding school santri half an hour before entering the prayer time, soon will enter the Ashar prayer time.

"The longer my stomach will be bigger, I do not want to be the material of speech even become the material of people. People will know that if I get pregnant out of wedlock, they will say this child is an illegitimate child." Kharisa said with a blank look.

"There are no illegitimate children, all children are born holy." Faisal hastily refuted Kharisa's remarks.

"Yes all children are born holy, but the name illegitimate child seems to have ingrained attached to children born outside marriage." Kharisa looked at her belly which still did not look too big, her gestational age had entered the end of the first trimester.

"So what's Neng's plan? Unfortunately if Neng does not continue school, want to go to college, right? We can go to college together, we choose a university in Bandung only or one in Jatinangor, we prepare from now on to be able to pass SBMPTN." Faisal said excitedly, according to the mandate of Abah, Faisal tried to be a friend and even a brother to Kharisa. During this one month their relationship is getting closer, only Faisal is Kharis' only friend in this cottage environment, Kharisa does not want to know the others, she was ashamed and afraid of her pregnant condition, afraid that later her friend would mock her and insult her, even though she tried to know others never, Faisal could not force her, either, he understood what Kharisa felt. After returning home from school Faisal must have met Kharisa to invite him to chat, it was also at the request of Kharisa's mother and her parents so that Kharisa was not lonely and dissolved in his sadness.

"Where if we make a study program together, even though Neng is not an official school still have to study right, consider it a kind of home schooling that, later Neng can take the exam package C, then Neng can take the exam package C, if you don't want to go to school."

"A Isal want me to learn?" Looks like Kharisa is interested in Faisal's proposal. She did want to continue her school to college, but since her pregnancy her dreams of achieving her goals have faded. His dream of entering the Faculty of Communication, working in the entertainment world or television world is his dream. Kharisa is known to be humble, easy to get along with, his character matches the world of his dreams. Hearing Faisal's proposal as if there was a fresh wind that made him excited again to undergo his learning activities.

"Of course, if Neng wants us to make a study schedule together, later Aa also look for information about package C program, Aa asked the father too, it seems like you know the information. Neng talked first with Mama agreed not to, who knows Mama has other plans." Kharisa nods his head, his face looks brighter, looks a smile dikulum on his lips, It seems he has new hope again for his future.

"A Isal to the mosque first, later tonight we continue to talk."

"Where are the prayers A Isal going?" looks like Kharisa still wants to continue his chat.

"Mau najai first until Maghrib, finished Isya later we make a study schedule. Neng is also ready to pray Ashar, better pray at the beginning of time, do not delay." Faisal. Kharisa nodded his head.

"A to the mosque first yeah." Faisal ran away leaving Kharisa, who was still sitting on his bench. Kharisa also entered the house when the sound of Adhan was heard. He paused for a while before closing the door, listening to the sweet sound of the Adhan, touching into his heart, he also felt familiar with the sound he heard, like the voice of A Isal, his inner being. Kharisa took ablution water and carried out the shala Ashar in his room.

The atmosphere in the cottage environment looks crowded when the Maghrib. The santri putra began to be seen flocking towards the main mosque. While santri putri heading to the mosque which is located not far from Abah's house. The activities of the sons and daughters are done separately. Kharisa who was on the porch of the house could see the princess who began to enter the mosque, they used Muslim clothes covered except the face and palms that were seen carrying the mukena and prayer mats, and they were wearing Muslim clothes, there are also those who have used their boss. There was a desire to participate in congregational prayer at the mosque and get acquainted with the princess santri because it was actually Kharisa happy to hang out, just because his pregnancy alone made him not confident to interact with others.

Faisal was seen walking out of the mosque after performing congregational Isya prayers, tonight there is no scheduled pesantren activities, so he can go straight home. Before entering his house he looked at the house where Kharisa lived next to his house, blocked by empty land planted with cassava plants and banana trees. Not yet seen Kharisa on the terrace, he went into his house to eat first, because his stomach had been hungry since this afternoon.

"Miss....Neng....." Kharisa remained silent in his seat as Faisal called out to him. Iav did not realize that Faisal was already sitting on the bench in front of him.

"Miss Kharis....." Faisal moved his hand in front of Kharisa's face, and Kharisa was jolted. "Eh....A Isal.." he said.

"Mind daydreaming.think what." Faisal was convinced that Kharisa was thinking about something.

"A...if my son was born later already know how his father?" It turned out that Kharisa was thinking about his son's life ahead. Until now he did not know the news of Rafael, maybe Rafael contacted him, but unfortunately his HP was left behind when he was leaving his home, he remembered his HP was left on the middle room nightstand, when going to the toilet he kept it there and forgot to take it because he was in a hurry afraid his mother waited a long time in the taxi. And consciously left behind after being away from his house, said mom is impossible to take it because Papa must have been at home. So during this one month Kharisa did not hold any HP at all.

"Are his father completely irresponsible?" Faisal asked back.

"I don't know about Rafael, he went to college in America, I'm sure he'll be responsible, even though his parents refused and told him to abort this fetus, it's just that we can't communicate, I missed my HP in Jakarta, he must have called me." Lirih Kharisa's.

"Why never tell me this problem, Neng can contact him, can use HP A Isal, later A fill the contents of the pulse first so that he can call foreign connections, can use HP A Isal, only HP A Isal can not use the internet, HPnya can only call and SMS." Faisal's words look sincere to help Kharisa.

"I don't have the number, surely the number has been changed using an outside number, said Mama later I want to buy a new HP if Mama to Bandung all to her mobile outlet, said Mama, who knows if the old numbers can still be used."

"Neng has a social media account, right? Maybe he's calling through social media too. If Neng wants to try to check us into the computer lab, there is an internet facility, but the time is limited. If Neng wants later A Temenin Isal, A Isal can ask permission first to the father." Kharisa looks sparkling, he holds his seat looks excited, like finding a way out when passing a dead end.

"Can it really be A....?" tanya Kharisa reassured again.

"God willing....A Isal told me to go to the father."

"There's still a lot of A.." a big smile on Kharisa's lips. Today Faisal makes Kharisa have a new spirit to live a life that will certainly be traversed with a steep and winding, but with his spirit will certainly be able to pass through it.
