After getting permission from Kiyai Hamid, Maher and Arkana also came out of the boarding school. They want to visit Farah and Jihan's house. In order to satisfy his curiosity, they planned to go to Jihan's rummah first. Because according to the instructions of Jihan who has the greatest possibility for now. But this time they just go together without taking Farid and Adam.
They stepped definitely towards Jihan's house. Berdo’a to quickly find the bright spot. Arkana was very impatient to bring her sister home. To meet her father and mother and the whole family. In order to regroup as before, happy together.
Their steps stopped in front of a simple house. According to the address given by Adam and Farid, this house is the house of Jihan. Without thinking long Arkana immediately knocked on the door of the house. Say hello, hoping someone welcomes them. Moreover, the one who welcomed them was the younger brother who had long been looking for him.
Slowly the door that looked very old gave a gap. The figure of a middle-aged mother looked at them questioningly. Maybe he was a little confused because he felt he did not know the two people who visited his house. But the mother was still very friendly to them.
“Assalamualaikum.” Sapa Arkana and Maher almost simultaneously.
“Waalaikum greetings. Sorry who are you looking for?” asked the mother with a confused look.
“Is this really Jihan's house?” ask Arkana to make sure.
“Iya this is Jihan's home, Jihan my son. What happened to jihan?” The answer was a little scared.
“There is nothing Buk. We are both friends of Jihan, we just want to visit.” Maher explained that the mother did not think negatively.
“Oh let's go in. But the Jihannya hasn't come home from school.” The mother allowed.
“No need Mom, we just say goodbye then. Next time we'll be here again, please just tell Jihan if Maher and Arkana are here.” Maher refused.
“Alright then. Really don't want to go in first?” the mother offered again.
“Thank you so much ma'am, we still have to go home Farah.” Arkana refused gently.
“O will know Farah also after.” Said the mother smiling. Maher and Arkana just nodded with a smile.
"Yes already Ma'am then we'll excuse you, Assalamualaikum.” Maher continued saying goodbye. They both shook hands and kissed the mother's hand.
“Waalaikum greetings.” He answered before the two of them left.
They set foot back to Farah's house, which was not far from Jihan's house. Only about half a kilometer. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons for their closeness. They have been friends and play together since childhood.
Again their steps led him to a simple house. But this time the house looks a little better than Jihan's house. When viewed from the state of his house, it seems they are a prosperous family. Then why does Farah still have to work? That question immediately came to the mind of Maher and Arkana.
“Basic useless son, slacker. Look because you didn't give enough money to your sister. She didn't want to go to school.” Someone who sounded very angry.
“Sorry Ma, but all the money I have I gave it all.” A soft and weak voice tried to defend itself.
“What kind of SD kid do I think I am? Where enough pocket money like this. There I am bredawain equally temen-temen and meledekin the poor later.” Other voice voice.
“Gina is not the same as you. Maybe for you that money is enough, but for Gina that money is nothing.” Continue the mother.
“Do not buy skincare, make buy cheap powder just not enough.” Gerrutu the younger brother.
“Free mom take care and raise you since childhood if a big time like this can not help anything.” Grunts the mother. The mood was silent for a moment.
Maher and Arkana hesitated to knock on the door. They stared at each other, not expecting that they would hear all the commotion. Even just this time they heard such harsh words. But they don't go away. They waited for a moment in front of the house. Once the atmosphere looked calm, there was no more commotion. They also dared to knock on the door.
Not long after a teenage girl opened the door. With her sweet smile, she encouraged Maher and Arkana to enter in very kindly. They followed him into the house. Both of them frowned when they entered the house. Like looking for something.
“That's really handsome. What dream could I ever meet two handsome people like them. I have nothing to lose if I skip school today.” Gina's mind stared in admiration at Maher and Arkana.
“Sorry is this Farah's house? There are?” ask Arkana to solve the problem immediately. The girl immediately changed her face, from happy to sour.
“Why are you looking for Farah? Chatting with me aja.” Gina replied slightly teasing the two.
“But we have the same need Farah is not the same mbaknya.” Maher replied affirming and clarifying.
“Oh... yes already then I call Farahnya first.” Then it goes inside the house.
