Earth Love Qibla

1

Two families of different backgrounds are grieving after seven days of the departure of their family head. In the grand two-storey mansion a mother who was always called Ummi by her three children was sitting on the bed hugged by her three children.

"Ummi, please allow abi's departure. Did not Ummi himself say if the soul mate, sustenance and death were arranged by God?" The first child, who was 20 years old and wearing a light green hijab that protruded over his chest to his stomach, gently rubbed the back of the ummi who was holding the prayer beads.

"Yes, Ummi. There is Akash who will always take care of Umi, sister Zha and also adek," twelve-year-old boy who has a high body posture was rubbing the back of his white umminya hands.

"Adek can't wait to see Ummi sad continue. Come, Ummi. Stop it!" six-year-old little girl with her pink hijab rubs her soft ummi cheeks. Follow cheering.

Ummi turned his gaze that was staring blankly at the window. The woman who still looked beautiful was staring one by one at her heart. There is Syifa Azzahra, Assyam Al-Akash and the smallest Nadia Aminah.

"Astagfirullah, forgive the servant of Allah. Sorry son, sorry Ummi was too washed away in sadness to forget your presence. Forgive Ummi, dear," Ummi grabbed her youngest daughter followed by Akash and Zha who joined the ummi embrace. They cry together.

Yes Rabb, sincere servant. Abi, please calm down there.

Elsewhere, a small and modest house of an 8-year-old girl named Bumi Hansa is crying in her Mother's arms. Many times the Sea of Ganendra, his elder brother rubbed the back of the Earth.

"If papa had not rushed his car because of the demand of Earth, surely papa no accident right?" the boy complained as he continued to tear.

"No, Honey! It was an accident, son. It's God's destiny" the mother, Ayas, came back crying.

"Stop blaming yourself, Dek. Don't cry on. Poor Mama so always crying."

The sea began to grow angry with the behavior of his sister who for seven days continued to cry after their father.

Earth immediately stopped her crying for the sake of hearing the high intonation of her brother's sentence. Bumi broke her embrace from Ayas and raised her head to look at Ayas.

"Mama, forgive the Earth. The Earth should have comforted Mama. Not even make Mama more sad," the Earth cupped both cheeks Ayas. The tears that flowed down Ayas' cheek.

"Udah, Earth. We have to be strong. Earth don't cry anymore, don't whine constantly" The sea must be able to think and act mature at the age of 12 years.

The earth let go of his hand on Ayas' cheek. He turned his body and looked at the Sea, an older brother who had a yellow skin typical of Indonesians like himself. Staring at the reddened eyes of the Sea, his tears only pooled not dripping.

"I'm sorry, Brother. I must have made Brother and Mama difficult."

"If you want Brother and Mama to forgive, stop blaming yourself, Deck!" the sound of the sea softens.

The earth just nodded without taking a look. The sea grabbed his sister's crazy body and hugged her affectionately. Ayas smiled at his children who always loved each other. Cuddle along.

At dawn the vehicle was still empty, the driver drove off at high speed considering he had an appointment with his little daughter who was on her birthday. Before leaving, the driver had promised to go home before 12 p.m.

But, because the out-of-town study event was finally new after the Fajr prayer, Sang Kiayi and the driver were able to leave the venue.

With great disheartenness the driver overtakes the vehicle in front of him. Once a safe overtake. But not with the second one. A truck that was overtaken was driven by a driver who was drunk with his heavy drowsiness.

The black sedan car was hit by a truck until it bounced a few meters away and hit a highway barrier. The lives of the two passengers were not saved, they died after several hours were rushed to the hospital.

The Kiayi left behind a wife and three children. The driver left a wife with two children. The relationship between the driver and the employer has been very long. They were very close like siblings.

Grateful for the family the driver has a good employer like the Kiayi family. Their first child, Laut Ganendra, the same age as Kiayi's second son, Assyam Al-Akash, had a good relationship from childhood. Even Laut is now studying at a boarding school in Bandung with Akash. Financed by the Kiayi family.

However, from this incident made Akash a little angry with Earth. If the Earth does not continue to whine for her Papa to come home quickly maybe this accident can be avoided. That's Akash's mind.

Many times Ummi and Zha and Nadia reminded Akash not to blame the Earth. But Akash still could not accept.

It has been seven days that Akash has not invited Earth to speak. Time and again the Sea asks for forgiveness for the Earth on Akash. However, Akash did not accept it.

"Stop apologizing to me, Sea. It's your sister's fault, not yours!" Akash and the Sea that afternoon had finished performing the dhuhur prayer in the mosque again argued.

"The earth will be sent to the village, Kash." The sea is still talking about the Earth.

"Good, don't go home. No more meeting me!" Akash is still an emotion.

"I seem to be stopping the mole, you?" this time the sea diverted the conversation.

Akash did not reply, He ran out of the sea to the courtyard of the mosque. It could be that the Sea speaks at times like these. Didn't they promise to be together?.

The sea soon followed Akash's steps.

"Don't talk to me again if what you want to talk about is your sister!" Akash stared intently at the sea wearing its sandals.

"All right, let's go home!"The sea and Akash were about to step up but shouted someone stole their attention.
