Friendship Has Changed Destiny

Chapter 22. A gift for a smile

Zia's house is now neat, the yard is clean, the clothes are neatly arranged in the closet, just to collect the clothes of her late father and submit to neighbors in need.

When cleaning her father's clothes Zia had cried, she remembered all the memories with her father. Memories from childhood until the last before the death of the father cross one by one in his memory. Like the sorrow of life he had gone through, the promise of wanting to present a bachelor's diploma he had not had time to fulfill his father had gone. Now the task of the father moved to his shoulders.

Goodbye, father, may you be happy there. Your task here has been completed, I will continue your struggle father to make happy mother and sister. Relax Father, we will not forget you, here we will always pray for you and pray for us from where you are now so that we will still get pleasure from Allah SWT.

While praying, Zia was determined in her heart to fight to get into college and get a college degree as she promised her father.

Angga who had noticed his lover realized there was a look of sadness on his face immediately approached and tried to comfort him.

He helped put the clothes of Zia's late father who had been arranged neatly into a bag, then the two went to find a bilal mayit that handles the maintenance of his father's fardhu kipayah to hand it to him. He will be the one who will give to those in need.

All the work was done, they went back home to pick up Zia's school uniform and put it in a bag and then intend to return to the hospital.

Throughout Zia's journey, she still remembered the memories of her father. Angga does not want his lover continues to grieve, he turned his car to a playground to comfort his lover. Zia awakens from her daydream when Angga takes her out of the car.

"We're again where this is, aren't we going back to the hospital?"

"You've been daydreaming so I want you to laugh here for a moment, I don't like to see you grieve all the time, let's go in and find a seat first."

The two also walked into the park, they looked for a seat right under a shady tree near the fountain pool, seen many kinds of children's games there, there were swings, slides, and so on, teeter and others. At the end of the park there is a very large pool. The pool is used as a water bike play area while feeding fish that are deliberately maintained to entertain visitors.

From that place they can freely observe visitors passing by who are watching their children play.

Angga then began to think of the right reason for him to have time away from Zia to run his idea making Zia smile. He said goodbye to Zia for going to the toilet.

"Wait here first yep, I'm gonna go to the toilet for a second."

Zia just nodded. After Angga died, he only watched children play and occasionally he smiled and laughed at the child's funny behavior.

Angga watched him from a distance while outside the park. He looked for a florist, then he bought a red rose. After that he returned to safety and bought colorful balloons.

He called two boys who were playing then he asked them to give flowers and balloons to Zia. In return after they do their job, Angga will buy them 2 cups of ice cream each. It was with pleasure that the boy carried out what Angga asked. Slowly the boy approached Zia.

"Tante cantiiik, Auntie can help us?"

"Yes, what can aunty please deck" with a smile Zia answered him.

"Tante please hold flowers and balloons dong, if Auntie later lucky it could be Aunty you know."

"Oh, how's the deck?"

"Now the aunt should kiss us while kneeling with her eyes closed without removing the flowers and balloon balloon that was in the hands of the aunt."

"Should I kneel ?"

"That's the condition Aunty."

"Alright, aunt accept your challenge."

Zia is indeed affectionate with children, so she easily melted with any request of children.

Just as Zia was about to kiss them, suddenly the balloon in her hand all broke. The two children accidentally stabbed the balloons to break, they laughed happily at the balloon that broke, Zia also opened her eyes and followed laughing.

"It's a gift for a beautiful aunt because today she's smiling. This flower is very beautiful aunt, but aunty is more beautiful than this flower if you smile. With their funny faces spontaneously kiss Zia."

"Emmmuuah, emmmuuah, we love aunt."

"You're so funny, sisters, auntie, look at you guys. Thank you sister, if you may know who told you to give this to auntie ?"

They didn't answer, then they ran away saying, "Da Auntie, may aunty always be happy huh."

Two children brought two bowls of chocolate ice cream and handed it to Zia.

"Tante Cantiiik, take this ice cream. This ice cream will make aunty even sweeter. Happy always yes aunty", then they also ran away from Zia.

Zia's shock was not lost, suddenly he heard the sound of a guitar quote, a busker played his guitar and Angga sang a song from Admesh kamaleng. While singing Angga feed ice cream to his lover's mouth.

..." The Great Love "...

Time first time

I see you present

This feeling of heart wants you

Calm heart heard

Beautiful voice greeting

This heart of relief I did not expect

This feeling is unstoppable

This heart is always for you

Accept this song

From ordinary people

But my love for you is amazing

I don't have flowers

I don't have any treasure

Sincere to you

Day changed

Now the cintapun is present

Seeing you, looking at you like an angel

Tightly your eyes

Sweet smile your lips

Black long your hair is gracefully tied

This feeling is unstoppable

This heart is always for you

Accept this song

From ordinary people

But my love for you is amazing

I don't have flowers

I don't have any treasure

Sincere to you

Oh-ho-hm

Accept this song

Hm-mm

From ordinary people

Accept this song

From ordinary people

But my love is amazing

I don't have flowers

I don't have any treasure

Accept my wonderful love

hm-mm

Sincere to you

After finishing singing Angga knelt in front of Zia and pinned a small blue-eyed ring in her sweet finger then kissed her fingers while saying, saying,

"Smiling dear, making you happy is one of my life's goals, it's all a gift to your smile today."

"So this is all you do?,

thank you, baby, thank you for everything,

I'll always smile for you."

The romanticization that Angga did made Zia moved and very happy, now the sweet smile expanding on her face covered all her sadness.

Then Angga took Zia to the pool and rode a water bike, before riding before they had bought fish food from a traveling merchant. They pedal while feeding the fish that are springing up around them. Seeing the starving fish made Zia laugh.

They played until they were satisfied until the call of Adzan Ashar reverberated, then both rushed to leave the game to pray at the place of worship in the park.

Angga and Zia make prayers not as a burden but rather prayers to lighten the burden of their hearts because prayer is a bridge for humans directly related to his Rob.

From Jabir bin Abdullah RA he said,

...The Prophet said "The key of Heaven is prayer and the key to prayer is ablution".(HR. Tirmidhi)...

After the service, the two rushed to the parking area and returned to the hospital.
