Me, You, And the Journey of Life

Mosques

Rendra woke up when I saw Azan Subuh heard. The young man spread out both hands, feeling an unremarkable crumbling body.

"My body is all sick." Rendra felt discomfort in his body. By sitting on a mattress, look around using eyes that are still half-tiered. "It feels like you're sleeping again, but it's time to wake up."

Rendra could do nothing. Actually, if forced may be able to sleep again. However, the man remembered the obligation to God. After feeling quite calm, Rendra immediately came down from the mattress. Moving towards the bathroom, prepare to go to the mosque which is not far from the home of his parents.

The atmosphere of the house is indeed very quiet, the residents are too busy with their respective jobs. Rendra is ready, out of the room along with Adib who also just came out.

"Sister, haven't left yet?" asked Rendra while confirming the light brown sheath.

Adib is very fragrant. It appears that the man took a bath before going to the mosque. "Sister, get ready too long." Adib went first. Their rooms are side by side upstairs. The two go down in succession.

Rendra watched Adib's back. Not usually the man with the title of Big Brother can go to the mosque this late. "Sister, stayed up last night?" Rendra has not just believed Adib could be slow to go to the mosque. Because, among the men here, Adib is the one who always goes to the place of worship the fastest.

Adib moved down the stairs while shaking his head. "No."

"Tumben once can be late to the mosque. Usually Brother is the fastest," Rendra said.

They got to the bottom floor. Seeing clearly the father had walked towards the guest room.

"Sister is also human. Do you think you can't be late? Adib tried to catch up with his father so that he could simultaneously get to the mosque.

Rendra who saw it also followed in the footsteps of Adib with a half walk fast. "I forgot that Brother is human."

Adib immediately slowed his footsteps, looked back for a moment, then continued on his way. The father had already left the house. "Astagfirullah, Deck." Shaking their heads twice. Sometimes Adib is a little less understanding of Rendra's thinking. However, the man should also be able to understand. "Not much talk. We can miss the congregational prayer."

Adib and Rendra are out of the house. In this housing complex there is a large mosque whose existence is only blocked by two houses from their homes. Therefore, Adib and Rendra used to perform prayers in the mosque.

Long story short, they arrived at the mosque. Performing prayers as usual with other complex residents. Enjoy the early morning air that has not been mixed with air pollution. Feels soothing. Even when they finished praying and came out of the place of worship was immediately greeted with a cold, but refreshing.

Mr. Akmal who prefers to talk first with the surrounding residents also let his two sons go home first. Adib and Rendra engaged again in a rather serious conversation. Of course about the work that should have been paid by Rendra on Adib's side.

Both walked down the street. Some of the magnificent houses are still closed, there are no signs of life with the windows closed. Perhaps the owner is still happy to sleep under the blanket.

Rendra sighed harshly. Staring straight ahead with a hard-to-understand view. "I haven't finished it yet, Brother."

"You should already understand that the job has a deadline that must be met!" Adib. The criteria of the thirty-year-old man was indeed very serious. Maybe because Adib is the first child who trained harder than Rendra by his father. However, the violence actually formed Adib into a figure that is very difficult to joke with. Always serious.

Two corners of Rendra's lips were raised upwards forming a small smile. "Sister, has it never crossed my life to be able to relax a little?" Instead of answering, Rendra actually asked a question back that managed to make Adib turn to him. "At least once. No loss, really."

Adib immediately turned his face forward again. Don't trip just because you focus on Rendra. "Indeed you think this Big Brother isn't relaxed?"

Rendra nodded quickly. "It's not just me, but it seems like everyone who knows you thinks the same as me." Rendra still remembered some of his college friends named Adib with a robot that was as set by the owner.

Adib himself did not feel that way. In addition to being as normal as possible like an ordinary human being, the man did not feel strange with his attitude. Maybe the person who is not used to it will take himself too seriously. Clearly this was inversely proportional to his parents who had recognized him from birth.

They almost reached the gate. Rendra deliberately stopped, so Adib did the same. "If Big Brother is too serious, it will be very difficult to get a life companion. Let alone women, men are also reluctant to Brother."

Adib. The man with a fairly mature mind since from middle school was not immediately interjected. Perhaps there is a meaning found behind the sentence of the younger brother.

Rendra turned to the right side, staring at Adib on the sidelines of the cold again the day. "Father and Mother expect from us to get married soon. Come to think of it again, it's not wrong. But, among us, of course, there are no signs in that direction. Look Brother now, this age has never introduced a girlfriend."

"So I don't need a boyfriend!" Adib protested immediately. For him, the courting process is not something important. If there is a woman who can attract the heart, choosing to marry immediately is the best thing. Of course, after knowing well about his future wife through the open stages. "The courtship is not something that is necessary for Brother."

Rendra's forehead creased tightly. "Reason?"

Adib shut up for a moment.

"Something that doesn't matter, it sounds interesting too. Then, what things do you think are important?" The corner of Rendra's right lip was raised upwards. A reaction that the man always does when his curiosity arises.

Adib took a deep breath. Lately their conversation has been quite serious. Whether it's about marriage or about opinions on one topic. Actually Adib is not a problem with that, considering that Rendra is the younger brother who should be the place to discuss. Whether it's personal, family or work.

Rendra moved his body to be able to deal with Adib. Rendra's gaze was so fixed and sharp as a lion ready to pounce on prey. "Usually Big Brother always has a reason for what Big Brother says. Then, why does it feel like it's hard to answer now?"

CCTV of the outside of the fence probably recorded the two brothers who were engaged in conversation. The atmosphere also felt tense, but to apply to them only.
