Heart Voice

Chapters. 56

The night after Isya's prayer'. Syakir and Akbar were sitting together on their small garden swing. The two of them were talking about the return of Kabir, who had not yet returned home.

"This caber, so not coming home!!" Pissed Syakir.

"Patience Kir, it is so easy that he can go home, maybe later, or it could be tomorrow morning" said Akbar.

"She has never come home since leaving, communication is also rare, and sometimes just send a letter without a photo. We can go home anytime. I also finished studying straight home" Syakir said.

"What are you talking about?" Keny's question suddenly appeared and sat in front of Akbar.

"When do you come home? Dah long time no see" said Akbar greeting Keny.

"Last afternoon, want to come straight here tired, so rest first at home" said Keny.

"Can't say hello first, it's still Muslim right?" Ask Syakir.

"Oh yes Ustad, Assallamualaikum" Hail Keny.

"Waalaikum sallam, late" said Syakir.

"Sister Clara's not coming?" Ask Akbar.

"Clara is in Switzerland, do not want how Clara insists on her career there" said Keny.

The relationship between Keny and Clara is also tenuous, because of their selfishness which is important to their respective careers, they must separate and leave their children tooada Aisyah and Rifky.

Not divorced, their relationship just hangs. Yang Keny is in Jogja, while Clara is in Switzerland, returning to a job she cannot leave.

"She was in high school and got to Switzerland, and just became a housewife. He said he couldn't, he didn't want his education to be wasted" Keny said.

"No educational term is wasted. Come to think of it, I went all the way to Cairo, and went back to just being a teacher in my own home." Syakir.

"Different Kir, you with your knowledge that you traveled in Cairo, you still transmit and distribute to your students, while we are Doctors, we serve the community. But it's a risk we've taken this road. What I love is Kak Clara's nature, like she's playing with the meaning of marriage" Akbar said.

"Emang can not be Kak Clara joined Keny aja, take care of Naira together, many lawyers are successful in their own country" said Syakir.

"I wanted him to be like that, but he insisted that he should stay in Switzerland, and that he never had any communication with Naira, just asking her how she was" Keny said.

"Then, why did you leave Naira to Kak Ais and Kak Rifky?" Ask Akbar.

"I haven't been able to educate him. I mean, with my busy life, Naira won't even take care of it. If he is cared for by Rifky, I believe the education of Rifky and Aisyah will make Naira a good child" Keny said.

Instantly Akbar remembered his fate, he also fared like Naira who had to be cared for by a brother from his parents.

The difference is, Naira's mother is still there and still healthy, while Akbar's mother has gone a long way when giving birth to her. Both have a busy Doctor Father, surely sooner or later Naira will be the subject of bullying at her school later.

"I don't want Naira to be like me, I hope you and Brother Clara think about it again. I go inside first, I'm gonna make you a drink. What do you want to drink?" Ask Akbar.

"I'll have coffee, Shakir warm milk" Keny said.

"That I am a baby, coffee is also Bang" Syakir said.

No tears Akbar dripped remembering his childhood, but he could not blame anyone, not the fault of his Papa, nor was it his fault. But it is all fate, destiny that has been written since the first spirit is exhaled when we are 3 months in the womb.
