Final Letter

71 New Life

in the afternoon before the magrib they have arrived in the city of Jogjakarta. Thanks to one of Aldi's acquaintances they immediately went to the house that had been contracted, as a result they did not need the hassles of going to live where. The location of their residence is not far from the campus where Aldi is demanding knowledge, strategic and suitable for opening a business.

They are welcomed by friends Aldi , they know because they are members of the group wa scholarship students. Aldi's friend named Alif happened to be the original city of Jogjakarta.

"Mas,Alif. Thank you for helping us find a place to live, a place that is comfortable and also strategic" said Arumi felt grateful for the kindness of Alif

" Together ,Mbak. happened to be Aldi's request also said you want to open a business and need a strategic place. Alhamdulillah Alif also got information from you that this place has not been empty for long. So Alif immediately came here and Alhamdulillah as desired." said Alif explained

"Oh Allah, once again thank you for helping us, may Allah repay you many times"

"Yes Ma'am together, hopefully at home here"

"It's with Allah that we feel at home, Alif. here is also close to Kindergarten school and sports environment. We have to start making a business concept, it seems there is no dessert store with a friendly price but luxurious quality hehe"

"Yes Kak, Aldi along the way pay attention but have not seen most cakes for souvenirs, this must be realized immediately kak, who knows indeed our fortune" said Aldi

"Here it is more to angkringan, traditional drinks. But there is also a cake cake like the one Mbak mentioned earlier is only usually in a cafe or restaurant, if the concept of shop or house does not yet exist" said Alif

"Well, Alhamdulillah. Alif are you working?" ask Arumi

"Alif has just graduated from Mbak High School, so has not had time to apply for a job. Said Alif's father and mother should focus on college, even if working the most tutoring or help mom and dad in our grocery store" replied Alif

"If you don't mind, you can join us, you know the region, and you can help us promote the people here. For payment problems can be adjusted, that too if Mas Alif is willing."

"This is Allah Ma'am, Alif will ask permission from his father and mother. In the shayah of Allah sometime Alif introduced them to the mother and family."

"All right then."

"O yes, Ma'am, Al. This is a food that I made especially for you. Your journey must be exhausting and need energy. I told mom that you were coming.

"Yes Allah Alif you should not bother, you have helped me find a place to live alone Alhamdulillah" said Aldi sungkan

"Yes, our Alif mass is so bad" continued Arumi

"Take this as our introduction, and I'm also glad to be able to help you. Then I say yes, you must be worried waiting for me to come home. This house has not been empty for a long time so everything is still clean and maintained, I only put up the bed linen given by the owner of the house, the rest is not hehe"

"Well tomorrow-tomorrow come here again yes, once again thank you for everything"

"Yes together"

After Alif left their new residence, Arumi and the others also cleaned themselves, after that eating a dish brought by Alif. gudeg typical of Jogja, fried chicken and white rice, etc, enjoy what else they deny .

"Rafa, are you happy to stay here?" ask Arumi after finishing dinner.

Rafa just nodded, because his mouth was still filled with drinking water.

"Rafa is happy Mom, hopefully Rafa meets a good friend and doesn't ask me anymore about Dad. If the incident in the old place repeats again I choose at home just the same mother" said Rafa sad.

There is a sense of pity to see Rafa who is currently, whether it is necessary to tell the truth at this time while Arumi has not received news again,if Arumi tells him that she is afraid that Rafa will refuse or even force to be able to meet them.

"Well, cool mom . Rafa must be helping mom"

"Smart kid"

5 Months later ...

Arumi's life in Jogjakarta is fairly successful because he has not experienced significant obstacles and always get ease. The cake shop is quite in demand and much in demand, all thanks to the promotion of Alif and Aldi who are not shy to offer cakes to people. the popular price promotion allows anyone to come and taste Arumi's handmade cakes.

While Rafa's condition has improved, he met with friends his good age and did not question the existence of Rafa's father, it makes it comfortable for Rafa to blend and communicate.

**

While in another place Putra is still trying to find the whereabouts of his wife, many times he came to Arumi's old house but the same answer he got. How are you doing with Arka? The boy felt deep regret and guilt, even the Son brought in a psychologist to communicate with his son. The only way for Arka to return to its original state is to be reunited with them, the Arumi family.

At 8 pm Arumi received a call from her relatives, after a long wait for news he finally called as well. Arumi hopes that there is good news even the things he prayed for become reality, but all is the will of God.

"Assalamualaikum ma'am, how are you?" say hello Arumi answered the phone.

"Waalaikumsallam Rum, good news, how are you all doing?"

"Thank God we were good, as I told you about our move, everything went well. Is there any good news, ma'am?" ask Arumi carefully

The atmosphere was silent for a while, until finally the sound of sobbing was heard.

"Bak why, kok cry? mbak's story" asked Arumi in panic

"Rum, thank you for everything, thank you for taking good care of Rafa and even sacrificing your happiness "

"Sama-sama Ma'am, I'm sincere. But why would you cry if something bad happened?" Arumi began to think no-no, hoping that the news never happened, he did not want to make Rafa slumped even sad if he had to cover up the reality even more.

"Rum, it's all done. Ma'am will soon be back to see you all, the baby won't be gone for a long time. Please allow me to make up for my time with Rafa."

"Yes Ma'am, Rafa is yours but why, what's done?" Arumi has yet to get an answer from her curiosity, how is Rafa's father? those are the questions lodged in his head.
