Merapi Never Ingkar Janji 2 (The Return of the Sultan)

SS. 02. A Regret

The house that used to be always crowded, now looks quiet. Especially this morning, the sky looks dark, dense cloudy enveloped.

At the end of the corridor there, stood an Alfatih. His eyes were fixed on the black wisp above the sky. I don't know what he's thinking.

Is he waiting for when the water falls from the sky ?

Or did he feel, the darkness of the sky this morning was as dark as his mood.

Silent, lonely like there is no life. Just the morning breeze he felt.

Every now and then the cry of a baby was heard in his ears.

That was the voice of Nindya, a boy who had to spend the day without his parents and that would be the main task of Alfatih Kedepannya.

From behind the glass window he saw Mr. Slamet cleaning the middle yard. A small park that has been a favorite of the Danu family since long ago.

With a steady step without a sound, Alfatih walked over to him.

"Mas Al's..." Saya Mr. Slamet.

The one who was addressed just nodded respectfully.

"Past.in this place you often relax enjoying the breeze of the morning. While accompanied by a cup of fresh coffee and snacks ala ndeso Mas." The story to Alfatih.

"In this place too, Non Kinan spent his days sitting hugging his knees, shedding tears after Mas Al said that he could not attend on his wedding day." Further.

"I tried to calm his heart in various ways, but nothing worked." He said while remembering the past.

"Just let Sir, let him spill his heart with tears."

Not just telling a story, but Mr. Slamet began to dissolve and return to the situation in the past.

The time when this family is still intact. A time when there are joys and sorrows that follow him. Mr. Slamet is no longer someone else who works in the Kamandanu family, but already like his own relatives.

It's true what Mr. Slamet told me. Kinanti was really angry for Al because of her absence on her wedding day.

It was still clear in his mind how disappointed his sister was.

'Dad, Kinan, forgive me.try if I was not concerned with my ego at that time, surely we can still meet and I feel the happiness you feel.' he regretted in his heart.

•the ' On'lastback

"So please, these moments are only once in Kinan's lifetime, and Kinan wishes Brother's presence." Whimpering begs.

"I'm sorry Brother Kinan, Brother can't be present on your happy day." Answer Al by phone.

"So Brother can't bear to see Kinan pitching himself without Brother's absence ? Does Brother not love Kinan anymore ?" Kinan said starting to get annoyed.

'Forgive Brother Kinan, I don't know what Big Brother feels ? But Brother really can't afford to see you with another man.' Al complained in his heart.

"Hallo Brother ? Is brother still there ? Hello..."

"I.iya hello." Al replied beginning to wake up after the volume of Kinanti increasingly sounded higher.

"I didn't hear Kinan !"

"Yes, I heard. But how else, Brother can't leave Brother's job."

Klothatkk...!

"You..." Shouted Al when his ears hurt to hear the clattering of the phone handle that was placed forcibly.

"Hhuuf....Kinan Kinan, is already getting married, but his attitude is still that of a child." Mumbled himself.

Upset by what her brother said, Kinan put down the phone handle violently, and ran towards the living room where there was Father and Mother Arum there.

"Why Nak ?" Ask Mother who found her daughter sitting crying with a gloomy face.

"Sister Mother, Brother can not go home on the wedding day Kinan. Fiancee and proposal events, Big Brother can't come. It's still Kinana maklumi. But this time, Big Brother really missed Mother." Whining upset.

"Kinan, such a big brother is definitely not without reason.There might indeed be things that he cannot leave behind." Mother said trying to calm.

"Kinan doesn't care, this time you have to go home. Don't let him regret it later." He said as he passed towards the central park where Kinan vented his frustration.

Seeing his daughter's attitude, Danu's father immediately grabbed his phone and called Al back.

Crings...

No matter how long, Al's phone rings back.

"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam Al." This time Danu's father called her.

'Surely Kinan has complained a lot about it.' Thought in the heart.

"Busan Kinan story, he said you can not go back to Indonesia on the wedding day Kinanti next month ?" Ask Danu's father without further ado.

'True my guess, it must be now that Danu's father will persuade me to go home.' Mumbled himself.

"Hallo Al ?"

"Eh.iya Father, forgive Al. There's still a lot of work to be done here. So most likely, Al hasn't been able to return to Indo." The answer is to find a reason.

"Your sister's wedding is still late next month, there's still a month ahead. I beg Al to try to go home." Pinta Danu's father is back.

"Insha Allah Well...Al doesn't promise, but Al will."

"Yes, son, I want us to be together at the happy moment of Kinanti later."

"Yes Dad."

Although the answer 'Yes' he can not confirm the truth, but at least it can make his father's heart calm. Even though his own heart was in chaos.

The heart cannot be lied to. The feeling that was once dear had turned into love.

However, that feeling he did not dare to reveal. Until finally what is dear will belong to people.

The 'sorry' word Gini that Kinan had said had really happened. A regret should Al feel after the departure of the people he loved.

•the Off 'Flashback

"Mas Al's..." Call Watik surprised.

The summoned one just twisted its neck slightly towards the sound.

"Mother looking for Mas Al from earlier."

"Hhhhhhh." He muttered as it passed.

"Eleh - eleh.ada yes such a cold creature, but no papalah, the handsome is lo...rare. upsssss, hehehehe..." Watik muttered without anyone hearing.

Watik, the household assistant who went everywhere used to participate with Kinanti. And now still stay with Mother Arum.

He returned to his habitat in the kitchen, after the young master Alfatih, lost from the sight of his eyes.

"Mother called me ?" Tanya Al who found Mother Arum in the front pendopo.

"Today, the third day of the departure of your father and brother Al. What are your plans ahead ?" Mother Arum said flat.

Sighing deeply, Alfatih sat down before his mother.

"Mother, don't be too late in grief. There's Al here."

"Yes Le ... Mother sincerely, Mother grateful there is still you near Mother." He said while rubbing his son's forehead and hair.

"Today, Al will go to the graves of his father and Kinanti. Mommy wants to participate ?" Ask Alfatih.

Mother Arum just nodded her head. A sense of happiness and sadness still enveloped his heart.

Happy that his son has returned, but that happiness must be accompanied by sorrow for the departure of his two soul mates.
