Scratches of Destiny

My Hero

"Now you've met Grandma, Alira don't fuss anymore, son." Grandma continued her words while gently rubbing my head many times until I fell asleep in her cradle.

A few moments later

Dad came out of the bathroom after replacing his wet clothes with dry clothes, he headed back to the living room.

"It's over, Ri?" ask Grandma to my real father (Fahri's father).

"Already, Mom." Fahri's father answered Grandma's question

"Alira's asleep, Mom?" Fahri's father asked me because he saw me no longer fussy and seemed to have slept.

"It was, just now." Answer grandma

"Yes already, Mom. It's getting late I want to go home first afraid Mother and children are waiting." Said Fahri's father to Grandma.

When Fahri's father wanted to take me from Grandma's arms, grandma wouldn't let me. More precisely not allow but granny fear, I will wake up again and trouble many people for looking for grandma constantly. Pity also father Fahri if you have to take me many times from home to the grandmother's house, especially the day is getting late.

"No need to bring Aliranya, Ri. Just let him here, papa. He's afraid he'll be fussy again if he finds out there's no me. You will also bother yourself. So let him sleep here tonight." Grandma told Dad to leave me here tonight.

"Is that okay, Mom? if Alira was left here. Fear even troublesome Mother and the others" said the father who was a little reluctant if he had to leave me here, afraid that later I would make it difficult for everyone.

I'm sorry everyone for bothering you all...

"No papa, there's no need to hesitate like that. Later if I'm tired too I'm the same Rastani can take turns to look after Alira, mas." Say M's father to my biological father (Ayah Fahri) so that Fahri's father does not think too much about me who will fuss later.

"Yes, but if I lose it, call me." Fahri's father replied that is still not good to grandmother, father M, and mother Rastani.

"Yes already then I say go home first yes." said Fahri's father again

"Loh, drink first the tea, mas. Let it warm, it was hit by a little rain. Let's not catch a cold." Said Rastani's mother together with Father M.

Then, Father Fahri immediately sipped the warm tea to appreciate the tea made by Mother Rastani. Because it's not good either, if you don't drink that tea. Though Rastani's mother has been hard-earned to make it nights like this.

After finishing sipping tea up to half a small glass, Father Fahri returned to say goodbye to Grandma, Mother Rastani, and Father M.

"Yes" answered everything together

Dad walked over to Grandma and me,

"Mom, I'll go home first."

After saying goodbye to Grandma, my father kissed the back of Grandma's hand and then switched to kissing my cheeks and forehead, saying,

"A good sleep, dear father, don't fuss. Don't bother grandma huh, son" The speech continued with a gentle swab on my head that still had only a few hairs.

"M, Ras I say yes to go home first." said Dad to Father M and Mother Rastani

"Yes, my mom." Answer Rastani's Mother

"The car didn't have a motor, did it?" ask M's Dad

"No. Because it's raining and has to hold an umbrella too." Fahri's father replied to M's father

"Let your sister take you home, Ri." Said Grandma to father M.

"Yes, mas. Let me take it, the rain has stopped"

"No need. Later even troublesome, let me walk alone is okay." Said Father Fahri who felt bad if troublesome father M continuously.

"No problem, no trouble at all. No need to feel bad like that. Rich as anyone. I'll grab the motor keys first"

After that, M's father went inside to retrieve the motor key.

"Come on mas" take M's father to Fahri's father

"Yes. Come on" Fahri's father replied to M's father.

"I say goodbye, assalamu'alaikum" said Fahri's father to everyone

"Yes carefully. Wa'alaikumsalam" answered everything

M's father took out his motorbike from inside the house to the terrace. Then he went back to the door again because he wanted to close the door.

While Fahri's father was taking the umbrella he had brought and closed the umbrella because the rain had stopped so it did not need an umbrella anymore.

After the motorbike was heated by M's father, Fahri's father climbed the motorbike carefully.

"It's over" replied Fahri's father

"Bismilbornrohmanirrohim" said the two

M's father runs the motor is not too fast and very careful because the road is still very slippery, if forced to scramble it could be later there are unwanted things happen. Like, falling.

5 Minutes later

M's father and Fahri's father had already reached their destination.

Fahri's father to the grandmother's place took 10 minutes because he was walking, but different again if riding the motorbike as it is now. It only takes about 5 minutes, if the speed is a little added it will be even faster.

"Thank you" Fahri's father's thanks to M's father

"Yes, yes, if so I'll go home first yes"

"Loh don't stop by first"

"No need, mas. It's night. Surely the other mas family has also slept later even bother." Said M's father who felt bad if he had to go in and visit first at Fahri's father's house

"Grandfather, rich mother also children have not slept."

"No need, tomorrow."

"Yes, if I go home first." continued M's father

"Yes be careful thank you." Fahri's father replied to M's father

"Yes mas. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh." Fahri's father's greeting to M's father

After that M's father revived his motor engine by reading 'Basmalah' then started running the motor back.

Fahri's father went into the house, and it turned out his guess was right. Mother S had not slept until now because she was waiting for my return with my father, who was waiting for two people but who came only one person.

"Well not asleep, Mom?" Ask father Fahri's trite talk to my biological mother (Mother S)

"Yes waiting for you and Alira to come home, mas." Mother S answered Fahri's father

"Why do you seem to be so worried?" asked Fahri's father to Mother S because he saw the look on Mother S's face that was filled with anxiety and excessive worry.

"Yes your thoughts are with Alira, mas. Alira's fear is fussy." replied Mother S whose face still shows a look of anxiety and worry

"Where do you know now, mas?" Further

"Same with Mom. Mom won't let me take Alira" Fahri's father replied honestly

"Well why is that? why not allow it?"

"No. Not not allowed but I suggest for tonight Alira let sleep there first. You see, when I handed Alira over to Mom and I just changed clothes for a while, Alira was asleep when I got back. So, Mother suggested it that way, because she was afraid that Alira would wake up and fuss again if she realized there was no mother beside her." explained Father Fahri to Mother S.

"Oh so. It's okay." Mother S answered Fahri's father

"Yes, if so you wash your feet first all wudhu continue to sleep, mas. It's night." It's night." Further

"Yes, you too" replied Fahri's father

"I've been, just sleep away."

"Well, if you go to sleep, I'll wash my feet and wudhu first"

"Yes"

Fahri's father walked back to the ablution, before ablution he washed his feet first.

While Mother S walked towards her bedroom.

After Fahri's father finished washing his feet and ablution, he followed Mother S to her room.

Fahri's father lay down his body next to Mother S who began to sleep.

Before closing his eyes, Fahri's father read short surahs followed by a chair verse and a sleep do'a reading.
