Melody Love Aqila

chapter 12 The Traveling of Shinta

Anwar got into the car, then took the phone stored in the drawer, there were several phones from Shinta that were missed and there was also a short message, he then read it

The assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh

Sorry to inform you in a short message, I have decided to stop working and leave the city. Unlimited gratitude from the very heart for all the help you give, may Allah give you multiple rewards.

Anwar was shocked after reading it

Is he going? why would he leave? where is he going?

Suddenly Anwar's heart was attacked with emptiness and his mind felt empty, he felt anxious and worried. He turned his car around and rushed out loud, during the trip he was like being tortured for hours, his teeth were grinding when there were several times congestion, he really lost his patience and calm. When on the motorway he overtakes some vehicles that are felt very slow but he lost balance, his car then crashed into the road barrier and then overturned. Anwar's head hit very hard, his temple launched fresh blood and car glass fragments splashed across his face, he was unconscious at that moment.

...*****...

That morning, at eight o'clock past fifteen minutes Shinta had prepared to leave. He held his little baby who was still asleep while holding Aqila in his left hand. He also carries clothes in his right hand and shoulders. What a moving sight for anyone who looked at him.He sped up his steps towards the highway as the City Transport car waited for him. The distance between the terminal and the Shinta boarding house is not far only takes about ten minutes. After reaching the terminal, Shinta decided to board an economy bus to make it cheaper. The bus was filled with passengers, after a long wait, the car left the city of Jogjakarta, a beautiful and friendly city.

"Mom, I'm thirsty" Aqila said as she held her neck.

"Please son, I forgot to bring water. Later we buy if there is a seller coming or buy at the bus stop" Shinta persuaded

Aqila tried to close her eyes, thinking if she slept then she would not feel thirsty. But his efforts did not succeed, he opened his eyes wide and then his attention surfed on the beautiful scenery through the bus window. Rows of rice fields, lush trees and hills were new to him, he was amazed several times.

The drink seller came after two hours of Aqila being tormented by her thirst. Aqila took a bottle of cold mineral water and fried tofu, Shinta took three bottles and a few snacks for the trip, then she immediately reached for some rupiah from her wallet.

"the return is less mbak" said the drink seller

"it's okay mas, this is enough" said Shinta while putting the change into the wallet.

Aqila looked refreshed after gulping down several gulps of cold water and then she ate the fried tofu she bought. He knew it was good for him, probably because he was hungry. After finishing his food and drink, his eyes felt heavy. He also slept in his sleep
