MINUTES OF LONGING

Really Him?

I don't know what's going on inside, which is clear they're trying to solve the problem. Although Farhan could only respond with hand gestures and tears. But it seems like their conversation ended well. The proof is now they can sit together with a warm atmosphere. Unlike the previous, now Rayhan's eyes, Assyfa and Rendy began to soften. It seemed like their emotions and anger were starting to subside.

Now they were gathered together in Farhan's room. Arkana who had not met the Mother long enough began to show his efficacious attitude. Several times he rested his head on the shoulder of the mother. Assyfa did not remain silent, he gently rubbed the head of the son. Which although he was an adult but sometimes behaved very childishly in front of him.

“It turns out he can be spoiled too. Duh cute if it's spoiled again so.” Inner Jihan while occasionally stealing glances at Arkana. “Ish...what the heck is Jihan, since when is a person like Arkana cute.” Shudder next. He tried to shake his own mind.

“So you're Pak Farhan's son? What's your name?” rayhan asked, starting to find out.

“True Om, my name is Farah.” Replied Farah nodded gently.

“Sorry if there was a little tension. Find old friends who haven't seen each other in a long time. We just expressed our anger, because Mr. Farhan moved without telling us in advance.” Rendy explained that there was no misunderstanding and no one was afraid of the incident.

“It's okay Om, we can understand. Sometimes the relationship is a little unique. Like Farah and I, we often fight but the end is still better too. Even we can't get far from each other.” Jihan smiled sweetly.

“Not to be sweet.” Chirps Arkana while glancing at Jihan. Jihan also widened her lips and threw a rough face.

“Can't be rough it dong same girl Kak.” Rayhan.

“She's a lady so-genesis Yah.” Arkana quickly mocked Jihan. Jihan stared and glared at Arkana.

“Kak can't be like that ah.” Assyfa also advised.

“They are like that Om, Auntie. If you meet always fight.” Maher.

“Usually if you often fight, if you like kangen far loh.” Rendy's chirps tease Arkana.

“Apaan sih Om, yes Arka kangen sama..... ih... not very deh.” Answer Arkana while shuddering.

“Who would like to be considered with you. I'm the ogah.” Jihan looked at Arkana as well with a shudder.

“Now you can say that, who knows in the future. If people say hate and love is different thin.” Sahut Rayhan chuckled in satisfaction of teasing the son.

“Dad....” protest Arkana while staring intently at Rayhan.

“Awas so bucin kayak dedengkotnya.” Lirih Rendy glanced at Rayhan.

“Apaan Om?” ask Arkana curious about Rendy's words.

“Nothing, son. Already do not listen to your Om murmur that.” Rayhan's quick answer hinders Rendy's answer. He knew that what Rendy meant was him.

Assyfa could only hold back her laughter. She still remembers how her marriage to Rayhan began. Not easy and lots of trials. Even he had also felt what it felt like to be unloved, ignored and not even considered. But look now, Rayhan doesn't seem to want to be away from him. Wherever he would always hold his hand. Showing proudly if Assyfa is his love. The love that he will always carry until the end of his life even His Jannah.

Now their focus is back on Farah. Since the first meeting, Farah had already attracted the attention of the three of them. Assyfa hoped she was the girl he had been looking for. The little princess who had long since escaped from her arms. But since then Assyfa tried to look around and look for something that might be coiled around his neck. But the thing he sought could not be reached by his sight. He also remembers very well that in the Arkana photo yesterday, he saw the figure of the girl wearing the pendant necklace. Assyfa could also clearly see his neck.  So Assyfa concluded that perhaps the girl was not wearing a hijab. That was what caused doubt in Assyfa's heart.

Not long after, another girl entered the room. His arrival made Assyfa and Rayhan startled. How not, the pendant he had been looking for was clearly hanging beautifully on his neck. The beautiful girl with high stature approached them with her beautiful smile. Assyfa squeezed out Rayhan's arm sitting by her side. Rayhan rubbed the back of his wife's hand gently. Trying to calm his heart that must be mingling.

“Hai, noon everyone. Hi Mas Arka.” greet Gina with her centile. No one answered his greeting. They just smile while nodding. Except Arkana who gives a wry and lazy smile.

“Sit Gina.” Farah's orders.

“They are Kak?” asked Gina blatantly while sitting down.

“They are papa's friends, greet politely.” Answer Farah Iirih.

“Hai Om, Aunt. I know Gina the most beautiful daughter of papa Farhan and sister of brother Farah.” Gina introduced herself.

“Hai.” Rayhan, Assyfa and Rendy replied awkwardly. They were a little uncomfortable with Gina's attitude.

“Come to sit here.” Assyfa asked Gina to sit next to him.

“Apaan sih Bun, here is full no longer fit Bun.” Arkana protested.

“Ya sister slide dong.” Answer Assyfa. Arkana stared lazily while following the order of her mother. While Gina with her flowers walked over to Assyfa.

“With pleasure Aunt. Just know if Gina is his son-in-law.” Gina said as she sat on Assyfa. Everyone stared pensively at Gina's sweet-ass attitude.

“Iya Om, Our aunt must return to the pesantren immediately.” Maher helps his brother. He knew that Arkana was very uncomfortable with Gina being there.

“Yes, you've been waiting for a while in front. We also want to sowan with Kiyai Hamid. We would like to chat for a moment with Mr. Farhan.” Rayhan replied letting them out first.

“Ready Well.” Answer Arkana who quickly pulled Maher's hand out.

“Sorry Jihan will also excuse me for a moment.” Jihan got up and came out.

The three of them approached Farhan who was still lying down. There was a smile on Assyfa and Rayhan's lips. But in contrast to Farhan who actually showed a look of fear. They say goodbye and promise to come back. Of course to make sure and pick up their daughter.

“We don't know who our daughter is between the two girls. But the locket was more than enough as proof. So we beg you Farhan, let us bring back our daughter. We won't take her forever, we just want to introduce her if she also has another family who always misses her.” Rayhan started to reveal his intentions slowly.

“Pak Farhan don't have to worry, we won't force. If he doesn't want to come with us then we'll give up. But at least give us a chance to be able to hug our daughter back.” Assyfa added with great hope. Farhan's head shook slowly, almost invisible. He wants to tell all the truth. Yet again the circumstances that prevent it. So that he can only surrender to the fate written for him and his two daughters.

“We won't take him now. We won't tell him now either. We know it all takes time. In time later, we will explain to her slowly.” Rayhan. Farhan's cry was getting broken, the more tears were pouring out.

“Well excuse us, Mr. Farhan. See you at a later date. Assalamualaikum.” Rendy said goodbye to them.

Meanwhile, there is a small commotion between Jihan and Arkana. “Why did you come out?” ask Arkana to Jihan after she gets outside.

“Like me dong. In part why you came out, notya your favorite caterpillar is inside.” Reply Jihan scoffed. Arkana again shuddered at Jihan's words.

“You guys have been arguing. Remember what Om Rayhan and Om Rendy said earlier.” Maher reminded them.

“Ih..... amit-amit...” say both together. While Maher laughed satisfied to see the reaction of the two of them.

“If you have time to visit our home nak.” Assyfa gently rubbed Gina's head affectionately.

“Of course Aunt with pleasure. As long as there is Arkana Mas, Gina would like to be invited anywhere.” Gina replied smiling shyly looking at Arkana who was standing far away from her.

“Just ask Arkana to take you. We will be looking forward to your arrival.” Rayhan smiled warmly.

“Siap Om.” Gina smiled sweetly.

“Lucky once Gina gets warm attention from them. Astagfirullah Farah you cannot envy.” Inner Farah inwardly stared in envy at Gina.

“Come Well, Bun.” Arkana was impatient.

“Iya... Yes really impatient anyway.” Rayhan looked at Arkana.

“We excuse you, if there is anything please do not hesitate to contact us. This is my contact number, you can call anytime.” Rendy gives Farah her card.

“Good Om thank you.” Answer Farah softly.

“Take care of yourself. Assalamualaikum.” Assyfa.

Before leaving, he hugged Farah and Gina. There are two different feelings. While hugging Gina, Assyfa felt happiness but felt bland. Different when hugging Farah he felt the warmth that had been missed. Her heart hesitated again, she tried to recognize once again who her real daughter was. I hope he doesn't get it wrong and choose.
