Reunion After

Reunion After
Becoming Ibrahim



Pov: Widya's


I am waiting for a reply from him. My heart was riled up. How am I gonna say it? Can I break his heart? I just want to run away and disappear.


I can't make that heart crack, even break. His love for me is very sincere. God, isn't this too much for me? I just found a man who is kind and sincere to me. Why did you arrange for us to separate?


Vesti never looked at my possessions and status. Loving Gandhi like his own son. Cellphone's ringing. I refused the call. I sent him a message.


Me : Wa only.


Vesti: Same with mom and dad? Okay, deh, then,


Tompi: What time do you want to meet? How will I break my fast?


Oh, it turns out he was fasting sunah tarwiyah. I forgot about today. Where have my thoughts been? Important day I left.


Me : Can.


Vest: Okay, honey. How's abah doing? I heard from Gandi, you've been moved to a regular treatment room.


Me: I'll tell you later.


Tompi: You're okay, right?


Me : Yeah.


Vesti: How come it's just a yes, what's the unfortunately call?


I don't reply to him anymore. Choosing to ignore the message and immediately wipe my tears before being caught by both mother and Abah. I told my mom to go home. My cousin helped mom to take care of my brother. I told you to let me know immediately if anything happened.


I chose to soak in warm water. I intentionally stayed in my bathroom. Ah, it feels a little relaxed. My phone rang, I saw the name that appeared on the screen. From Tompi.


I didn't lift it. Choose to rinse yourself then hurry to wear clothes and dress up. I checked my phone to find out.


Tompi: Where do I pick you up, Mah?


Me : Pick up at home, Mas. L waited.


Vest: Okay, honey. I glide.


I speed up my makeup. After a while of waiting, Tompi arrived. I got out of the house and got into the car.


"Assalamu'alaikum, fragrance. And and beautiful again, we want this real date?" I said as I wore my seat belt.


I used my smile to cover the gaping wound in my heart. "Wa'alaikum salam. Yes, dating. To the supermarkets first yes, Yang. Shopping for your needs in the hospital and also your needs."


"Okay, ready!"


I talk more in the car. Makes her suspect what's wrong with me. I avoided that nothing happened. We shopped, he pushed my trolley to pick up his stuff. I took some chocolate for him. I also added her favorite snack.


"You want to make me fat? Hmm?" I groaned in pain because my cheeks were pinched by him.


"Let's get fat, your cheeks are round I like ..." I'm singing a song that doesn't know the title.


She laughs. As we approached the time of breaking we headed to the restaurant near the hospital. As always, Tompi will be very special. Maybe I'll feel like I lost her.


Time to open. I accompanied him to eat. I serve him as best I can, for this is the last time we are together. After eating, he began to ask. I told you everything, be it your mother's request.


"I want to end our relationship, Tom." As much as I can try to say that.


"What, Mah? I didn't listen" he replied, still joking.


I closed my eyes while breathing out. "I want to break up."


"What'sthis? Why suddenly ask to break up?" ask with a rising intonation.


"You promised not to ask to stop. Or one of us will get hurt. Did you forget that promise?"


"You think you're the only one hurt? Me too, Tom. Don't you think I made this decision originally. I thought about what it would be like in the future. You have Aunt Wanda to look after, as well as me." I want my tears not to fall.


"Tante Wanda is in the hospital. My parents got sick, had two heart attacks, my mom got hot, it was us. We are so selfish that we forget what our trust is."


Tompi looked at me with anger. I let him do that. I'll let him hate me. That's my way of getting each one of us to become strangers again.


"Please let our relationship end. For our parents." I looked at him with a sad look.


"I've found a postulate. We are all Ibrahim. And our possession of the treasure, the throne, and also of love is Ishmael. Allah never asked Abraham to kill Ishmael. Allah only asks, Ibrahim kills the sense of ownership over Ishmael." I waited for him to move on and leave. In fact, Tompi is still waiting for my sentence.


"I want to be Ibrahim who sincerely sacrifices Ishmael, our love for the happiness of our parents, Tom."


He clucked and thought my words were just my essay.


"It's up to you, Wid. I can't say anything anymore. Thank you for what you have done to me. Get out of this diner, I'll assume I never knew you. Really, I hate it. I hate you so much."


Vesti took her bag and car keys. Hurry to pay for our food. I could only take a breath and say patiently to myself. When I was in the parking lot, I saw the car was backing away, and then he pulled out a white crackle. Throw it in the trash.


Sorry, Tom. Sorry to hurt you. Not just you, I am too. I took the crackle and I saw, it was my groceries for her.


"Sir, this is for you. It's still clean, sir." I gave it to the parking lot.


"Oh, thank you, Mom. Why dumped the same father? You guys got a problem?" tanyakanya.


I just smiled and shook my head.


"Mom, every couple must have their own test. Hope you guys find a way out of your problems soon."


I agree to do'a the parking lot guy. I left the restaurant and rushed to the hospital. I tried to toughen up, in fact, these tears melted as well. Spill until it feels tight. I ran through the toilet.


I let the claustrophobic taste mix out. I can no longer hold it. After a bit of calm, I cleaned my face, my eyes closed.


I went to the cafeteria and bought ice cubes. I compressed my eyes to avoid being caught crying. After a good deflation, I ventured into my room.


"So you and I ate?" my many. I forgot to buy food for my mom.


"Have," they answered almost simultaneously.


"Where have you been? Abah's looking for you." Mom asked me.


I got closer to my bed. Then throw a smile at him. "Widya was referring to the patient first."


Abah blinked his eyes. Then ask me to come closer. I close my face.


"Eat" said Abah.


"Here, Widya has eaten. I don't have to think about Widya. All Abah needs to do, focus on healing first."


Some greeted from outside. We're looking. Mas Han, he came to see you. He greeted and talked to my parents. After a long story, my mother asked me to take Han to take a walk.


All right, I'll just follow mom's request. Han and I started walking through the hospital area.


"Have you eaten, Dek?" askinya.


"Here you go" I answered briefly.


"My number is blocked?"


Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
