Hijab And Waiting

Memories

The day that Diana was so afraid of arrived. When he had to be willing to give up all the memories of his hometown, the city where he grew up for 14 years. A city full of human activities.

"Lord...is this my destiny? Why does all this have to happen to me?", tears flowed profusely in his silence.

Trees lined up along his journey made his heart feel increasingly crowded, his tears continued to flow like flowing river water.

"Goodbye Cemara... Hopefully one day I can still reach my mind even though I do not live in this city" he said again in his heart.

Flasbacks

"I'll take care of everything, from now on we choose our own path, you take care of yourself, my children will take care of it and I go to school well", mama said to papa as she broke into tears.

At that moment, mama and papa Diana had a big fight. After 15 years of marriage, they finally decided to separate. The company that was built by Papa Diana went bankrupt, all the property was confiscated by the bank, and they were in a lot of debt.

"Alright if that's what you want. After you leave this house, don't expect you to come back" Papa said firmly.

Mama took four of their young children with her. Diana was 12 years old at the time. And the youngest is only 9 months old.

"Here you are, son, don't cry anymore. Later there will be new friends" said Oma Nuri to calm Diana's heart.

"Oma, is the school in the village the same as in the city?", asked Diana to her Oma still in her tears.

"All schools are the same, don't worry. There will also be many of our brothers who will be his friends mbak", replied Oma trying to calm Diana.

The long journey lasted for 4 hours, until they finally reached their destination. Their arrival was welcomed by the Oma family who were in the village. All swiftly help to unload the goods from the car they are riding in. Others were busy providing food and drinks for Diana and her family who had just got out of the car.

"How was the trip?" asked Oma Yani, Oma Nuri's sister.

"Alhamdulillah smoothly deck", replied Oma Nuri briefly.

"Gee...Already this girl is Hani's eldest child right mbak?", asked Oma Yani.

"Yes, tomorrow you will mbak take care of the move here" said Oma who made Diana sad again.

After all their belongings were finished in the compile in the house, the Oma family was still joking on the porch of the house. Diana went straight into her room to clean up.

Diana has three younger siblings, the first of whom is 13-year-old Dimas. The second named Kevin is 7 years old and the youngest is currently 2 years old.

Diana swept her gaze around her room, looking at her worn out mat that would become her bedmate. The dusty closet. The size of the room was so small that no other items could enter the room. At that moment his wish floated back to his hometown. The clear granules began to flow again wet his cheeks that contained. He laid down his body and began to sleep tired after a long journey.
