Red Rose-Love In Three Countries
Happy (3)
"What does it contain?"
"Filling it is a sign of Syifa's health, if the excess means I am happy" Sari smiled broadly
"So?" Jijia seemed confused by the meaning of her aunt's words.
"Syifa must eat a lot to be healthy and happy, if your body is thin like this means you are not happy"
"What weight should be the size?" yijia Protest
"Syifa don't have to listen to Sari's words, she's just joking with you. Syifa is already beautiful like that and will always be happy" Grandma mediates the talk of Sari and Syifa, so as not to continue arguing about body shape
"Grandmother, thank you" Yijia smiled happily, grinning at Grandma's praise
"Yes, let's continue eating"
"Good" Sari and Yijia answered together

* " *The Next Day"
" 05 . 30* "
After the dawn prayer, Sari took Yijia around the village, taking a walk through the deserted village streets.
The light of the Sun still could not penetrate the thick trees, making the village still covered in darkness. Sari invites Yijia to climb up the small hill, seeing the first light of the morning sun.
At first Yijia felt cold because it was too early to get out of the house, plus the rural morning air was always cool, and the sunlight was difficult to enter, penetrating the tall rubber trees lined up neatly, and the sun was very cold, like walls. But eager to see the beautiful scenery of the early morning in the village, Yijia forced herself to go with her aunt.
It did not take long for Sari and Yijia to reach the top of a small hill, fortunately small stairs were prepared to climb from the side of Sari and Yijia came. And on the other side of the bottom there is a pretty deep abyss.
"Syifa, we've arrived"
"His beauty" Yijia stared in amazement at all the natural scenery before her eyes, the golden light of the sun, the expanse of rice fields under small hills and the green foliage of various trees.
Yijia began to close her eyes, take a deep breath, and exhale slowly, she began to spread her arms feeling the blowing of the fresh wind, her long hair made to dance in the direction of the blowing wind.
"Auntie, Syifa is very happy to live with Aunt and Grandma, it feels like Syifa wants to stay here forever"
"Of course you will continue to stay here, accompanying Grandma and Aunt. We are all family"
Yijia smiled widely, her face looked very happy, there was no falsehood in it. Yijia was really happy, not pretending to be happy like she used to be. His face alone was smiling, yet his heart was deeply tormented, looking at the person he loved with others.
For Jijia this is true happiness, and Jonathan is only his envy. From now on this is the life of Jijiah, and Jonathan will be buried forever from his bitter memory.
"May you be happy, Jhon. I will remember you as the person I once loved and close our mass meetings, may we find our own way and do not disturb each other again."
"Syifa, are you done looking around, let's go down. There are still other things to see" Sari asked, disperse the daydreams of Yijia.
"Yes" Yijia gasped in shock, she then walked following Sari from behind.
Yijia retraced the village streets, and Sari walked in front of her. Sari continued to speak, explaining the things they encountered on the road to Yijia.
Yijia looks very enthusiastic listening to all the things that Sari explained, she completely forgot the turmoil of her heart that had struck.
"Good morning" said one woman, who wore special boots and knives to tap the sap from the rubber tree.
"Minah's Minah" said Sari kindly
"Against Sar's streets?"
"Yes, let the body be healthy" replied Sari cheerfully
"Who is Sar?"
"Oh, this is my nephew Syifa"
"Eh nephew?"
"Yes, he just came here from England, he's the son of Brother Fathonah"
"Ah Brother Fathonah is back?"
"No-no, just Syifa"
"Why?"
"Sister Fathonah no longer exists in this world" Sari sounded very sad
"Yes, it's okay, thanks for your attention Min"
"Yes Sar"
"Oh yes, Syifa introduce this Minah, Minah introduce this Syifa"
"Hallo Kak Minah, it's good to see Brother"
"Well, I'm glad to meet you, too. Do you feel comfortable living here?"
"Yes, I really like living here"
"Good then"
"Wah Sari, who is this? asked a middle-aged woman approaching Sari and Yijia
"Aunt Asih, Assalamu'alaikum" Sari kissed Aunt Asih's right hand
"Wa'alaikumussalam"
"This is Bi, this is Syifa my niece"
"Niece?"
"The Son of Father, Bi"
"Oh, is Fathonah here too?"
"No Bi, Brother is gone"
"Ah like that, sorry well Sari, I must make you feel sad"
"It's okay"
"For so long Fathonah left this village, I remember playing with him in the river. Almost every day after school, we took a bath in the river. After getting married she left, I really missed her"
"Auntie..."
"You know Sari, because she took too long to bathe in the river, we ended up being scolded by your mother. Red eyes and not eating all day, ha.ha.."
"After becoming a parent, having children of your own, you realize that your mother's anger was a sign of her affection for us, she was only worried about our health." Aunt Asih kept telling her about her childhood with her mother Yiji, her eyes red and teary. Obviously a good friend, will always remember his friend even though it has long been far apart, even now it is different world.
"Auntie, if you miss Father, you can hug Syifa." Sari tried to comfort Aunty Asih, she smiled sincerely at him.
"God is beautiful, but why is her hair like this dear? Aunty Asih suddenly turned her attention to Yijia
"Thank you very much, it's okay, her hair is just sick" Yijia smiled stiffly, although it was explained she felt Auntie Asih would also not understand about dyeing her hair.
Yijia promised herself, to cut her blonde hair, after her black hair started to lengthen again. He realized that his hair would look strange to the villagers.
"Calm down baby, I know your father is from a foreign country, it's only natural that your hair is a little different from ours. Oh yes, your late mother once told me, if your father used to be very handsome, so that your mother could not sleep, because he kept thinking about it" Aunt Asih laughed sumringah, so that your mother could not sleep, so did Sari and Aminah. Yijia was happy to know a little about her mother's childhood.
"Oh yeah, you don't plan to find a husband from a foreign country, like your late mother did, do you?"
"No Bi, Sari is already planning to find Syifa a future husband from our village" said Sari suddenly
"Well, Sar, how about Aunt's son?"
"Si Yusuf?"
"Yes, how? fits?"
"Wah Sari would agree, ha.ha..."
"But ask Syifa first Sar" Aminah reminded Sari, so as not to forget the opinion of Syifa
"How about the Fa, want to be with Auntie's son?"
"Eh? but Syifa's still coming here recently, Syifa's still not thinking about getting married." Yijia was confused as to what to answer, of course it was not that easy for her, she had to be completely ready to rearrange her heart
"Don't quickly marry Fa, just make friends first" Sari smiled gently at Yijia
"Yes, take it easy Bibi will not force, Joseph also his son is kind and caring, will not make it difficult for Syifa"
