Love From Space

Early Guests of the Day

Her night..

Nura suddenly woke up after having a bad dream. In his sleep, he dreams about the mother who left him. The girl woke up with sweat that had soaked all over her body.

Nura remembered that he had not yet performed the Isya prayer. After joking briefly with Kak Eci and Kak Lili last night, he just went to sleep and forgot to fulfill his obligations.

Both physically and mentally feel very tired after going through the events of today. So as soon as he put his head on the pillow, he knew he was immediately asleep.

Unfortunately, Nura's sleep is not flowering beautifully. Her sleeping flower turned out to be a nightmare about the mother who left her.

"Hh. I should pray first.." murmured Nura while getting up.

Nura then stepped up and went to the bathroom. However, as soon as he passed through Mother's room, Nura's mind was again stunned for a long time.

He missed his mother's presence. Usually, when he wakes up in the middle of the night, Mother is also performing the tahajjud prayer.

Nura will steal the hearing when Mother mentions either his name, the name of Kak Eci, Kak Lili, or also the name of Tio in a prayer offered to the Almighty.

But now..

"Hh.. Mum.." Nura diluted Mother's name, before finally resuming her steps towards the bathroom.

..usai prayed, Nura went back to her room to sleep again. However, after some time lying down, the girl even had trouble closing her eyes again.

Although he has changed with various sleeping positions, but still. Nura still can't fall asleep anymore.

Frustrated, the girl finally decided to get up and sit in the TV room. Nura chose a sitting position on the sofa that was next to the window. That way he could see the sky outside.

In the middle of the night, Nura stared at the dark sky. No stars were seen that night. Perhaps because of the large number of clouds that lined up to cover the surface of the sky above.

"Hhhh.." Nura let out a tired breath.

Now his view turned to the bushes that grew wild not far in the front of his house. There are quite a number of purple trumpet flowers that occasionally move after being blown by the night wind.

Crick..

Speed the crickets slowly enter the Nura's sense of hearing. I don't know where the cicadas are hiding. Because for a moment Nura did not hear the sound or see its form.

Crick..

"Hmmm.." Nura yawns. But he was comfortable with his position sitting curled up on the sofa. The girl's head was quite comfortable after propping her chin above her two raised knees.

While the girl's eyes continued to float freely around the front yard of her house. Looking for something he did not even know what he was looking for.

Crick. Crick..

The crickets kept buzzing loudly. Until slowly finally Nura was able to return to sleep into the dream realm.

In her second sleep that night, Nura dreams of a memory when she was a seven-year-old little girl. The moment where he meets Yon, his Alien best friend.

***

Geck. Geck. Geck.

Nura gasped to wake up from a dream she could not remember. His head lifted and floated to the source of the voice that had made him wake up just a moment ago.

As soon as he raised his face again, his eyes then collided with a pair of eyes belonging to Yon, a new friend in mya class.

Nura was confused. He looked behind Yon's profile, where the night sky was still plastered into the background of the scenery in front of Nura.

Then he looked up at the upper wall. Where a clock shows at half-three in the morning.

"Ehh?? Yon?" Call Nura with a half-squealing voice.

A moment later the young man beckoned by placing his index finger in front of his lips. A sign that he asked Nura not to be too noisy.

Nura bit her lip. Then glanced at the two rooms, where Sis Eci and and Tio were still content to fall asleep. Next, the girl got up and opened the front door of her house slowly.

Cklek.

"What are you doing these nights, Yon?" Whisper Nura asked.

"I want to take you somewhere. You wanna come?" Asked Yon in a mysterious manner.

"C.e..."

Nura looks doubtful. This was the first time a man had visited the house to see her. And also the first time a guy took her out night-night.

Suddenly Nura remembered the message of Mother, a long time ago.

'Be ethical in your relationship with anyone. Especially with a man who is not your mahram. Always be careful, Ra. don't place your trust in the wrong person.' That's what Mom's advice used to be.

"We won't be out long. If that's what you're worried about," Yon added with a calm look.

Nura still looks hesitant to accept Yon's invitation.

"I promise. We will go home before the dawn of the Adhan. Believe me, Nura.." added Yon again, half begging.

Nura thought hard again. After being silent for a while, the girl finally made a unanimous decision.

"Sorry, Yon. I can't play out nights with you. I mean, we can't be alone at night, can we?" Answer Nura with a question.

Yon looked disappointed. However, a moment later, the young man said again.

"both? You mean, we can't leave if we're both?" Ask Yon to confirm something.

With hesitation, Nura nodded her head.

Yon then frowned. A sign that he is considering something. After a long while, the young man suddenly said.

"Then take her!" Yon said later.

"uh? She's she? She who?" Nura asked confusedly.

Yon did not immediately answer Nura's question. But in the next second, suddenly there was the sound of someone reprimanding Nura from behind her.

"Nura's? Who are you talking to these nights?" Asked Brother Eci, who apparently also just woke up a moment ago.

"Sister.. Brother Eci?!"

Nura was shocked to death. Now, the girl is confused in answering the question, Eci.

Eci herself was now looking straight at Yon. His eyes immediately glared and glared furiously. He knows Yon. The man was a classmate of Nura who accompanied him all day yesterday, when Mom passed away.

"Yon isn't your name? What are you guys doing these nights?!" Hardik Kak Eci who has misunderstood the purpose of Yon's arrival when the day is still dark as it is today.
