I'm Putting My Destiny on You

The Calming Voice

Late at night, the atmosphere of the village became quieter. A drizzle still sounds out there. Covering under a blanket is the choice of most people.

In contrast to the girl who had put on her face, sat down with the Qur'an in hand. Read verse by verse with a beautiful tone. It was Alfiani who had woken up from his sleep.

The clock shows at two in the morning. And just like the nights usually the girl awakens for evening prayers. But both his parents and his beloved brother have not woken up. Maybe he woke up too soon.

Waiting for other family members to pray at night. He decided to read the Qur'an. Khusu' read with a melodious voice that sounded syahdu.

Without realizing it there are eyes that watch over him from behind the walls of the family mushola. The smiling man heard a beautiful tone that soothed the soul. Faiq, who felt like urinating decided to go to the bathroom. But when he finished with his wish. Faiq's ears heard a voice that sounded so soothing.

Faiq closed his eyes, still enjoying the sweet sound of Alfiani reading the holy verses. Faiq holding his own chest there was a rumble inside there. No, it's not a rumble in love. But a feeling that he doesn't even know what to call.

Without feeling the tears flowing. There was an empty side of his heart that seemed to be filled. It feels warm and soothing. What was he like in the past?, Faiq's inner self was troubled.

The sound of footsteps resuscitated Faiq from the sudden surge of emotions. There were many questions lodged in his head. There are a lot of question marks he can't answer. But there is a dry heart that needs a flush. There is an empty soul that wants inhabitants in it.

'' Mas Faiq !'' call Fariz who sees Faiq standing in front of the family mosque. Fariz squinted at the man who had just wiped away the tears that had just unconsciously flowed down his cheek.

'' What is it like here ?'' fariz continued, wondering why his foster brother was there in the morning.

'' I urinated, kept getting a sound from here. Out of curiosity I saw it turned out to be Alfiani.'' explained Faiq gently.

'' Has he been here since ?'' added Fariz who was still standing in front of Faiq with clothes ready to pray.

'' Almost half an hour seemed to be Faiq honest.

'' Yes, already, you have woken up to participate in night prayers alone . '' said Fariz who was adopted by Faiq, before Faiq had not participated in night prayers. Although he did not understand the night prayer, but his heart did not hesitate in the least.

'' I changed my clothes first said Faiq told Fariz who momentarily stared at the back away from him.

There was a hint of worry in his heart, finding Faiq who was secretly watching his little sister. However, Faiq was not a brother to them. He sighed hoping that there would be no slander with Faiq in the house.

Fariz went into the mushola, hearing the steps. Alfiani stopped his bow, staring with a smile welcoming the arrival of the elder brother. Not long ago the whole family was in the mushola. No exception Faiq.

There was an increasing calm that made Faiq feel so peaceful. There were many empty sides in his soul that were filled with all these activities.

In the morning, the sun was still reluctant to show the arrogance of challenging the world with its light. Looks like this morning the sun is trying to hide . Behind the clouds that are still black. The remaining drizzle drops overnight added to the syahdu this morning.

Out there Alfiani was picking vegetables in the garden beside the house. Faiq enjoys the beautiful scenery plus the melodious sound that sings sholawat. Faiq smiled to himself, observing Alfiani who was cool himself was unaware of his existence.

But when about to enter the house with spinach leaves in his hands. Alfi's eyes found a figure standing behind the window with his hands in a bag of pants. Alfi who realized he was in the face of Faiq smiled shyly, then looked down and left from there. Seeing the shy attitude of the girl Faiq made a restrained laugh. Funny, that's what's on his mind.

While Alfi leaned on the wall that was far from the reach of the Nata Faiq. Holding his chest that was pounding incoherently. Between shame and a sense of flowering that could somehow be present in his heart every foot saw that handsome face.

'' Yes Allah forgive me servant, control the heart of the servant yes Alloh. He took a deep breath and breathed it out. Calms the heart that channeled a thumping feeling in his heart.

After his heart felt calm, Alfi went into the kitchen, meeting the mother who was making breakfast. As in the morning, she usually helps her mother cook. But arriving at the kitchen, again he was presented with a thrilling view.

''Astaghfirulloh what's with my heart ya Alloh''. whispered a soft heart Alfi who saw Faiq was pairing bolam in the kitchen .

'' Why is Mom ?'' tanya Alfiani tried to neutralize the taste and act ordinary in front of the man who had torn apart the heart that had been able to guard it all along.

"Dead the lights "short mother said. He's frying a banana. Alfi approached and placed the vegetables in his hands on the kitchen table close to the mother standing.

" It's good, please try to turn it on" Faiq told Father who was standing near the light switch. Dad hit a switch nearby, and the lights went on. From the top of the table where Faiq was resting at the moment, he saw a glint of light on the beautiful face that was smiling with his mother.

With a bated smile, Faiq descended from the table. I don't know, seeing that face made her feel a different sense of happiness.

" Fariz hasn't woken up yet ?" ask the mother who was moving the fried banana on the plate.

" Not yet, his habits. After the dawn prayer sleep again "sahut Father who is now sitting in a chair located in the kitchen. Faiq had come out of the kitchen as if he was going to the bathroom.

" Alfi, wake up your mas, later he left for work "pinta the mother.

" Yes "sahut Alfi who then washed his hands. And go from the kitchen, to Mas Fariz's room. While crossing the middle space Alfi took the phone in his pocket made himself bowed.

Bukk.

Alfi accidentally hit Faiq who out of nowhere was right in front of him.

" I'm sorry " said Faiq as he picked up Alfiani's phone. For a moment Alfiani was stunned, don't ask about his heart pounding.

" Nih" said Faiq reaching out hand giving cell phone to Alfiani.Alfi received without daring to stare at the man standing before him. As fast as lightning, Alfie left from there. Faiq looked at him with a fluffy smile .
