(41) Ramadan Without Family

"Tomorrow We Start Notya Four O'clock Afternoon Yes ! Because Tomorrow Is Fasting"

"Yes Buuuk...!!"

Calls the Employees of Susi Buk (When He Was Describing Tomorrow His Dining House Starts to Open Four O'clock Afternoon .

Because Tomorrow Has Started Fasting In Ramadan Month, And Early Day Later Has Started Sahur To Fasting Tomorrow .

Then Employees And Busi Busi Started to Disperse Then Go Home to Each Of The Dining House, Because Time Has Showed Eleven Hours of Night .

"Eh..Didn't Expect Yes Tomorrow Has Started Fasting"

Said Kiris Who Has Walked Out Of The Dining House, Together Noven And Raga .

"Yes Yes..Not to be expected ! Are you Fasting Tomorrow ??!"

Ask Raga To Kiris .

"That's it..Fasting !! It's a shame to Miss it"

Answer Kiris .

"Yes, yes ! Unfortunately We Can't Follow Daily Prayers Tonight ?!! Because We Work"

Saying Noven .

"Yes..Too bad, yes !"

Sahut Kiri .

Then Kiris Also Ride His Motorcycle Then Go Home To Her Home .

So Is Noven Riding His Motorcycle That Hugged Raga, Then Passed Home .

*

"Hhuuuuhhhft...!!"

Noven Exhales His Breath, Like

There's Something Hurdling In Her Heart .

"Sruuupin..!!"

Noven Absorbs His Still Warm Coffee While Sucking His Cigarette .

Noven At That Time Was In His Room After He Was With The Raga Earlier From The Dining House Where He Worked .

In The Room Is Sleepy Raga, While Noven Is Still Soluble In Her Daydream That Only Accompany Cigarettes And A Cup Of Warm Coffee .

Noven Keeps Sucking His Cigarette And Enjoying His Coffee, If His Mind Has Drifted Away .

"Be A little more Sahur ! And Tomorrow Starts the First Day of Fasting"

Heart of Noven Says Overtly .

"Huuufft...!! This Is Your Second I Passed Ramadan Without Family"

"Sahur And Open Fasting Without Family Without Mother's Cuisine"

"Usually When Sahur, Mother Who Wakes Me Sahur ! But Now I Have to Get used to Waking Up Sahur Alone"

"I Don't Feel I've Been Two Years Over in the Region ! Until Now There Has Been No Success That I Can Achieve, Even Savings I Don't Have"

"I Should Send More Money To Kampung, For Ramadan And Lebaran Or At Least Go Home To Kampung ! But...What to Say !! Salary Is Little, Make Everyday Is Not Enough"

In The Midst of Deep Longing For Families, Then Slowly But Surely Tears Noven Dropped Down .

And Slowly Those Tears Keep Flowing .

"I'm sorry Mom..I'm Sorry Dad..This Child of Yours is Really Not Useful !! I Miss You"

With Chest That Feels Tight, Heart of Noven Continues to Say Sendu Remembering And Missing Togetherness With His Family .

**

"Nov, why are you ??!"

Raga Suddenly Wakes Up From Her Sleep .

And Noven Immediately Subdued His Head While Rubbing Water His Eyes, As if He Doesn't Want to Know It .

"It's OK Ga ! you're Waking Up ?"

Say Noven Then Turn around Ask .

"Yes..Just Wake Up..!"

Said Raga Answering Questions Noven .

"Oohh..!!"

Answer Noven While Nodding His Head .

"you're Not Sleeping ??!"

Tanya Raga Investigates .

"Can't Sleep Only"

Answer Noven .

"are you crying..??!"

Raga Speaks With Attention to the Eyes of Noven .

"No, it's not !! It's Good to Say"

Reply Noven While Turning His Face, As if Hiding His Red And Embossed Eyes .

"You tell me" said Raga.

"No One Wants to Tell The Ga" Sahut Noven dodged.

"like we just knew, you don't want a story !" Raga said so.

"True Ga, What To Tell !" Noven is still evasive.

"do you want your family, right ??!" Say Raga makes Noven Just Quiet .

"It's Nov , There's Nothing You Can Hide From Me !" Raga warned.

With a Little Attractive Breath, Noven Says :

"Yes Ga. You're right ! I'm my Family's Kangen"

"That Makes You More Happy Again, Because This is the Second Time You Miss Ramadan Without Your Family" Raga said appropriately.

"And There's Still Me, You're Not Alone !!" Raga smiled.

"But Ga...Ramadan This Year Hit Me Enough ! It's Twice Ramadhan, I Also Can't Go Home"Clearly Noven with a soft look.

"Already Bro..This is called the Process of Self-Mature, We Are Men ! We Must Be Strong, We Must Hold Banting !" Sahut Raga is excited.

Noven also said "You're Right Ga"

"It's Not Just You, This Year's Missed Ramadan Without Family ! I'm Also Bro..This Is the First Time I Missed Ramadan Without My Family ! you Know Better How It Feels !??!" Said Raga makes Noven feel his pain, just like Noven first went through Ramadan without family.

"Yes Ga..That's why you can't sleep either ??!" Sahut Noven with Raga.

"Hahahaha...you Kok Tau I Didn't Sleep ??!" Sahut Raga laughs.

Noven said "like We Just Known !!"

"Huhahaha...!!"

Raga Laughs as Noven Reverses Her Words .

Before Long They Both Tell a Story, Then Noven And Raga Also Fall Asleep .
