Earth still reluctantly gets out of the car. The big house looks empty. His memory back in a few years ago when he, Akash also Sea often played in the vast hall.
*****
"Aren't I pretty, brother?" ask the Earth as she moves her eyebrows.
"Pretty dong, especially if you are given flowers." Akash answered while pinning flowers on the ear of the Earth.
The earth laughed touching the red flowers that stuck to her ears. At that time he was not eight years old. Just a few days before the accident took the lives of Abah and Papa.
"Heii these two koq haven't bathed yet, the sea has already bathed from earlier." Ummi came while tickling their waists. Both laughed and asked for forgiveness to be released.
"Dog in the shower, it's on the stink." Ummi nosed the two noses in turn.
"Ummi, if we're older we can still play?" ask Earth. Ummi nodded while tidying up the earth bangs that were soaked in sweat.
"Can we sleep together?" ask the Earth again.
"May, but you must marry first." Reply Ummi pinched the Earth's anxious cheek.
"To get married what are the conditions?" The overly chatty earth again asked, Akash began to get annoyed.
"Earth, you're a child already married." Akash nudged his shoulder.
"Ummi, what's the condition?" The earth whines for an explanation.
"The only terms are one, you love each other." Ummi replied as he left the two.
"Love what's it like, brother?"
"Yes like Ummi and Abah or Mama and your Papa. Maybe each other's affection?"
"We can love each other, brother? I love Brother!"
"Yes, I did too."
******
Unfortunately, the original speech from Ummi's lips was actually embedded in the hearts of both. Although Akash was angry because of a misunderstanding and considers the Earth that caused the death of Abah and their Papa. However, the bond of love is secretly both guard until adulthood. Ummi forgot, besides love marriage can also occur because of a mate.
The earth arched a thin smile, no more tears. She was already determined not to cry after Akash's remark about letting go of each other.
The car's glass is knocked from the outside, Nadia the culprit. The earth woke up from the daydream immediately opened the car door.
"Koq didn't come out right away, sister?"
Earth does not answer Nadia's question, she just pulled the tip of the girl's hijab very deliberately.
"Sister of Earth...."
"Where is Ummi?"
"In the room, come on in!"
Nadia takes the Earth. The two of them joked with each other all the way from the courtyard of the house, to Ummi's room. However, just as he was about to knock on the door came a conversation between Akash and Ummi.
"Ummi should also say that marriage in addition to loving each other is also because of being a match."
"Ummi thought there would be no Andrea among you. Ummi thought the words of Mr. Anggara wanted to make you a son-in-law was just a joke."
"I have to how?"
"Love it should be appropriate not as deep. Pun hate. We cannot see fault in a person even though He is wrong because of that great love. And, we cannot see the good in a person as a result of hating him too much. All you need to do now is, get to know Andrea. Look at the bright side. And, for Earth. Try ikhlaskan. Think not of a soul mate. Trust in God."
Deg.
I don't know why the Earth's heart aches, it hurts so much. Does that mean it's time to let each other go?.
"Sir, you want to come in now?" Nadia asked as she touched the shoulder of the Earth. The earth just nodded. Nadia immediately knocked on the door and said hello. Akash and Umminya answered the greetings and told them to come in, the door was not locked. Nadia opened the door, traveling in tandem with the Earth who had put on a smile from the heart. Ummi greeted her by stretching out his hands. The earth of course immediately scattered into the arms of the woman wearing the large black hijab.
"Okay, Ummi. The earth is busy at work so no longer teach." Answer the Earth that is being held tightly by Ummi. Ummi broke his embrace, cupped both cheeks of the Earth. Moist eyes and dry tears on both cheeks are a sign that this girl is not okay. Just trying to be okay.
"So Kerha came straight here?" Ummi looked at the appearance of Earth who was still wearing her nurse uniform.
"Yes, looks like that? Earth smells huh?" tanya Earth sniffed herself.
"Little girl who used to whine to be carried now is even smart to take care of sick people." Ummi prickled the nose of the Earth.
"Ummi, carry!" The earth pretended to whine, scattering back into Ummi's arms. Akash looked at the interaction of the two with a sad look. Happy to be his wife is the Earth. He would be presented with a view like this every day. There will be no stories of in-laws and son-in-laws who do not get along or vice versa.
"Haduuh be a mosquito this is me, I've been to the room." Nadia insinuated Umminya then left the room. However, previously still had time to pull the hairpin of the Earth and make jet black hair was beautifully scattered scented with strawberry fragrance.
"Deek, damn it!" that's Akash's voice. Nadia just smiled obliquely carrying Earth's hairpin and threw it into the air and then caught it again.
"I'll wait in my room, Brother Bumi." Nadia's voice was gone along with the door that was closed.
"Here, we're talking. Akash on the left and Earth on the right. Remember we used to be like this when you were kids?".
After being in the position that Ummi wanted, the two former children were able to lean their heads on Ummi's shoulders.
"You know, in Surah An-Nisa verse 40 which means...." Ummi hung up his sentence.
"What does Kash mean?" Ummi patted Akash's cheek.
"Mi, I...."
"Remember"
Akash was silent for a moment, closed his eyes and sighed. After reading the basmallah Akash said, "really, Allah will not oppress anyone even as great as zarrah, and if there are virtues as small as zarrah, Allah will multiply and reward him greatly."
"Then why do you feel worried and afraid like the world is going to collapse in the face of this problem?"
The two were still silent, looking down at each other holding Ummi's hand.
"Never think life will end just because there is no Earth beside you, and vice versa...."
"The owner of your life is God, surrender to God. Ask for kindness, do not continue to dissolve in sadness. Especially until it rains like a child. Shame of the same name, Assyam Al-akash. It's the sky sun anyway. But a breakup has hurt yourself." Ummi patted the cheek of Akash who was smiling shyly.
"And, Earth. Whatever happens you are still Ummi's son. Make peace with the situation, with the heart. Try to embrace every situation with a sincere heart. Until you can say 'Yes, I'm fine."
"Noe...." Earth whines and hugs Ummi from the side, Ummi replies with an embrace. Akash is no longer, He has been hugging Umminya since, Ummi replied by patting her cheek.
I don't know what's in his brain, with Akash's hand reaching for Earth's. Wiping it full of love. While his next hand again deliberately stretched on Ummi's shoulder so that it hit the head of the Earth. He rubbed it gently, making Earth look up and smile at him who was also being swept away.
"Not necessarily while wiping your head and holding the hand of the Earth as well, Akash." Ummi insinuates Akash. Akash who was caught immediately withdraws, He gets up and stands by the bed, "sorry, Mi." Umi just shook her head and massaged her forehead.
"Yes, the Earth to Nadia's room first." Pamit Bumi then got out of bed and immediately walked away from the room with a more relieved feeling. Although it was not yet completely, his heart could already receive a little. Akash took part, he ran a little after Earth.
"Sir...." Akash deliberately aligned the steps, climbing the stairs with the Earth.
"Isn't you Sis?"
"Ikhla?"
"Ikhlas is here.." As he looked at the chest, perhaps the heart meant.
"If it's here...." The earth pointed at his lips.
"That's called advertising...."
"That's the kind of words I read on social, not creative."
Earth stops her steps, then tells Akash to leave.
"Koq expelled anyway, deck?"
"Sister, just been lectured by Ummi. Don't make me laugh again. I want to talk to Nadia. Brother mending there, why keq. Drain the ocean keq or go back to the restaurant." Earth raises her index finger, threatening that Akash will no longer follow her. He said, just keep watching the ridge of the Earth disappear swallowed by the lips of Nadia's room door.
