Love Because ...

Inverse

The chanting of the holy verse of the Quran made Rara wake up, her hands fumbling against the table next to her king looking for a weker clock, she saw it was still at half-four in the morning. The cold morning air that made her cheeks blush red did not make her pull the blanket to hide behind it. The melodious sound made Rara curious and moved carefully so that her bedmate Tia would not wake up.  He opened and closed the door slowly trying not to make a sound. His feet stepped towards the room where the source of the sound was. He stopped in front of the slightly open door.

‘Tante Sri bengki’. Rara sat on the floor next to the door of Sriyantika's room that was teaching. He sat leaning against the wall hugging his knees because of the cold morning air. Rara lived every recitation of the Quran that Sriyantika said, her voice was so melodious, making her heart calm. Sometimes he followed the reading slowly while closing his eyes as if memorized by the chants of the holy verse that Sriyantika read.

“Innaa ja'alnaa maa 'alal-ardhi ziinatal lahaa linabluwahum ayyuhum ahsanu 'amalaa, am hasibta anna ash-haabal-kahfi war-roqiimi kaanuu min aayaatinaa 'ajabaa, p, iz early-fityatu ilal-kahfi fa qooluu robbanaaa aatinaa mil ladungka rohmataw wa hayyi` lanaa min amrinaa rosyadaa.”

Ms. Sriyantika stopped teaching, but Rara still closed and repeated the last verse that Sriyantika read.

“Fityatu ilal-kahfi fa qoo luu robbanaaa... robbanaaa...” his murmur continues his reading.

Ms. Sriyantika, a 52-year-old middle-aged woman, moved out of her alphabet to go out of the room to get a glass of drinking water, she was shocked to find Rara sitting next to her room.

“ You know what?” ask Sriyantika ma'am in wonder.

“ Uh aunt Sorry, Rara interrupted ya?” Rara was shocked that Sriyantika caught him, immediately standing up.

“No, aunt was surprised, why are you sitting below you dirty?” he said while patting Rara's back afraid of getting dirty because he was sitting in any place.

“He he dengerin aunt naji.” Rara smiled guiltily fearing her mutterings could be heard and stopping her tanti.

“Why don't you just enter tho nduk?”

“Fear of bothering tan, auntie where are you going? when the salary stops, usually aunt stop klo already adzan?”

“Lho you often sit here with aunt naji?”

Rara nodded with a faint smile swallowing her saliva. She was afraid that her aunt was angry and was annoyed at what she had been doing all this time. Ms. Sriyantika shook her head smiling at Rara's behavior.

“Nduk aunty can ask please take in a glass of water?”

“Each Aunt!” girang. Rara quickly took the water and returned to the main room of the house.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok's. Rara knocked on the door slowly. ”Assalamualaikum aunt?”

“Wa’alaikumussalam, enter nduk right the door is not closed?” Rara came to Sriyantika's mother who was sitting on her face while holding a mushaf.

“This water Aunty.” Rara thrust out a glass of water sitting next to her aunt. Ms. Sriyantika took the water in Rara's hand and drank it slowly.

‘Bismmilbornohmanirohim’ murmured a sip of water and said hamdalah afterwards, Ms. Sriyantika repeated it three times.

Rara silently focused on seeing the way her tantric was drinking slowly so gracefully she thought. Ms. Sriyantika was not the slightest bit disturbed who realized Rara was paying attention to her.

“You know ra? what is the difference in how to drink the same knowledgeable person?”Rara shook her head, curiosity flashing in her head.

“Scientists can get some merit in one drink.” Rara was so listening to the words of Sriyantika.

“He takes a drink with his right hand gets one reward, when going to gulp it he says bismillah, he gets two rewards, when the drink is hot and he does not blow it he will get three rewards, he gets three rewards, if he drinks in three gulps he gets four rewards, when after drinking the hamdalah he gets five rewards, he gets four, when drinking him in a sitting state does not stand then he will get another merit.” Sriyantika bu soft.

“So Rara if you can drink according to sunah Rosul you will get many rewards and kindness nduk.” Rara nodded in agreement while going to practice what Sriyantika said.

“ So you every morning sit in front of aunty room, dengerin aunt najai?”. Rara was silent she smiled shyly.

“Not every day kok aunty, if to wake up aja”

“You want njai Ra? Now is the day of Friday’at nice naji Surat Al Kahfi.”

“Mau aunt.” Said Rara looking at the mushaf Sriyantika bu brought in a medium size.

“You pack this yes.” Bu Sriyantika gives an instant veil pink. Rara immediately put it on to help Bu Sriyantika tidied up her hijab. Rara smiled, Sriyantika was amazed to see the beauty of Rara wearing a hijab, so graceful so beautiful.

“You are beautiful nduk if you use hijab.” she said touching Rara's chin. Rara smiled shyly with compliments given by Ms. Sriyantika.

“Try you read this.” the index points to Al Khafi's letter verse one.

“Al-ham du lillaa hil lazii an za la 'a laa 'ab in hi -ki taba.” read Rara bricked.

“ 'Abdihil.” sahut bu Sriyantika allow Rara reading.

“Ab dihil – ki taaba wa lam yaj'al lahu 'iwajaa. Qoyyi mal liyunziro ba san syadiidam mil ladun\-hu wa yubasysyirol\-mu miniinallaziina ya'maluunash-shoolihaati anna lahum ajron hasanaa.”

TIDIDID TIDID! The alarm clock sounded so loud, Tia the tomboy girl was still sound asleep. He woke up lazy, his eyes reluctant to open, his hands even reached into the blanket at the end of his feet, he pulled the blanket over his body and head.

“Ra matiin the plug!” his mouth was lazy, but the alarm clock was still ringing fast, he did not realize Rara was no longer by his side. Tia woke up sitting on her bed looking at the alarm clock, the time showing 7:30.

‘OMG’ Mumbled in panic, Tia immediately got out of her bed and ran off in a hurry to the bathroom.

Rara was busy helping Sriyantika and Sum mbok prepare breakfast at the dinner table. He was so focused on the bread knife that he put a nuttela on the bread.

“Let me only non.” suhut mbok Sum while trying to take the bread and knife Rara held.

“Gak papa Mbok.” Rara smiled her hand dodging mbok Sum who was about to reach for the bread she had decorated.

“Try Tia as soft as you Ra, Aunt must be very fond.” say bu Sriyantika who sits in the main seat.

“Tia is also good aunt, very good even. His heart is also soft, He wants to nerima Rara here, instead consider Rara rich sister herself.” Smile right.

“Tia hasn't woken up Ra?”

“Most him again shower tan, soon also out at least 10 minutes more.”

“Ya we have breakfast first, this mbok Sum who prepare breakfast Tia, accompany auntie huh? aunt laper.” Rara nodded her seat and devoured the sandwich she made.

DUG DUG! the sound of footsteps rang out from the stairs. The tomboyish girl in a XXl-sized brown jacket was too big in her frame and wearing standard jeans came down the stairs in a hurry.

“Ra why don't you wake me up? which car key?” Tia's grumbling exasperated at Rara speeding towards the dining table.

“Nduk can not you slow down do not mess around that ah not good!” sriyantika's mother reprimands Tia.

“Aduh mih ngomelnya held first deh mpe later Tia home, this Tia already late, Ra come on!” he tugged at Rara's hand which had just devoured half of her bread. Rara put her bread on her feet and pulled Tia's hand back and told her to sit in the chair next to her.

“Breakfast first.” whispered it to Tia's ear. Tia was upset about to get up from her seat and Rara held her back with her hand.

“Ra? you know what time it is?” tanyanya sewot's.

“Loe know what day it is?” rara asked back smiling patiently to face Tia.

“Jum’atlah!”

“So?”

“Jadiiii?” Tia frowned trying to remember something.

“So the event started ba’da Jum’at” sahut bu Sriyantika interjected.

“Owh Yes.” Tia hit her head in a whimper to see her mamih embarrassed. He directly plucked the sandwich made by mbok Sum earlier.

“You are a habit! Mbok yes everything that painstaking can to, kasian right Rara so hunted not clear!!” Babeh mamihnya while cutting the sandwich. Tia focused on devouring the delicious nutella bread because of her hungry stomach.

“You're horrified?” ask her again annoyed.

“Denger mamihku dear, mamih can nag at length, today Tia is horrified with te-la-ten because today Tia leaves noon.” His voice casually smiled, while devouring his sandwich. Bu Sriyantika shook her head to see the behavior of the princess only wayangnya.

“Yes you two have breakfast again, Ra you add more bread.” Tawar Bu Sriyantika decided to stop nagging. He thought it would be a waste to talk at length with his daughter who was so stubborn.

Rara smiled, looking at the behavior of the mother and child who had been considered as her family.

Ms. Sriyantika looked towards the two girls sitting to her right. Two women who have different traits, he always imagined if Tia's attitude was as gentle as Rara. Two women who are as old as her age, she can guess exactly the age of her daughter Tia 28 years but not with Rara, she can only guess the age of Rara, maybe 25 or the oldest around 29. Akh but he still looks young he thought, Miss Sriyantika does not know exactly how old she is, let alone her age, who she is, where she came from she does not even know, she does not even know, she knows she loves him and loves him like her own son. 

Rara wears a long-sleeved t-shirt and Tia's jeans are a little loose on her body, probably because Rara's body is smaller than Tia so it looks loose on her. Rara tied her horse to her thick, curly hair. Her eyes were narrow like an Asian girl, her eyes were black, her skin was so white as milk, her face was so beautiful, the morning sunlight made her merry cheeks clearly visible.

The girl beside her Tia her real name was Princess Tyaningsih Suryadi not as gentle as her name. She is so tomboyish, her body is a little more bongsor than Rara, her skin brown brown and brown brown and her face is beautiful sweet, her eyes are belo shows the oriental face of a real Javanese girl.

Even though he was a tomboy, his mother always educated him well according to the teachings of Islam. Tia is forbidden to wander at night except for work, from the way she wears always wear trousers and long-sleeved clothes that do not form the body. He most often covers his head with a hat, for whatever reason he is difficult to be invited to hijab. Although her mother often scolded her for wearing a hijab, Tia always ignored her. Rara was more obedient to Bu Sriyantika than Tia, Rara always listened to Sriyantika's mother and her brother bada magrib, in contrast to Tia who always slept back in the morning prayers. These two beautiful girls had inversely proportional traits one hundred and eighty degrees that were more worthy of a cousin's look than a sister's.
