Help Dani

"Wa'alaikum hail warahmatullah ..., Nak Dani?" ask a middle-aged woman.

"Yes, Mom. This is Dani" Dani replied with a smile and regret.

Dani's mother is Mak Nur, Disa's mother. I don't know who the old man was at the vaccination site, but obviously the man only saw him alone. He looked at the door, like he was waiting for someone.

Dani sat next to him, asking who he was going to Semarang with and what his needs were. Mom told me about her trip today with Aji. He was waiting for an invitation from the man who asked Disa. It's been almost three hours, not coming.

"Have a phone number, Mom? Let me call you" Dani asked politely.

"I don't have any, so I'm just waiting for him to come." Mak Nur expressed his despair.

Dani scrunched his forehead. Why can Aji be so careless? Leaving the old man alone, in a big enough city without any news? Forced Dani to contact Disa by asking permission Mak Nur first.

"Just go home with Mom and me, Mom. I tried to call ustazah first, so he told ustaz Aji. Can I call Disa?"

Mak Nur was feeling very embarrassed at this moment. Dani said that sentence because his actions yesterday forbade them from communicating. The man was still always respectful towards her even though her behavior was very annoying. He nodded in response to Dani's question. God often gives help to people we don't like.

Dani pulled out her phone, then called a name she has rarely been in contact with lately. Dani's heart was again wracked by a warm and soft sigh. His heart was racing faster. It's always like this when dealing with Disa.

"Assalamu'alaikum Ust, sorry to interrupt. I want to tell you, my mother is in Semarang, in the place of vaccination for pilgrims and Umrah. He said he was delivered by ustaz Aji. But almost three hours he waited not to be picked up by him either. I ask permission, let my mother go home with me, and please tell ustaz Aji not to pick her up," Dani explained straight to the point.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullah, so my mother is still in Semarang alone? Astaghfirullah .., mom ..., yes sir, I will tell ustaz Aji. Thanks for the help, sir. Sorry always a hassle," reply Disa from across.

"Sama-sama, yes I have closed. Assalamu'alaikum." Dani waited for an answer from across.

"Wa'alaikum salam warahmatullah ...," replied Disa.

Mamah Yuli has been vaccinated. Looking for the whereabouts of Dani who was sitting with Mak Nur. Walk towards them.

"Mak Nur? O Allah, barakallah ..., how are you, Mother?" ask Mamah Yuli.

They shook hands, "Alhamdulillah is healthy, Ms. Yuli. Vaccines too? Want to umroh, Mom?"

"Yes, Mom. Mak Nur too?" ask Mamah Yuli.

Mak Nur nodded. It turns out they will be a group. The vaccination should be delivered by the travel party, but can also be done alone. Dani tells the story of the incident experienced by her mother.

"Astaghfirullah .., maybe Aji's ustaz forgot or there is an urgent need. Already, with us just go home." Mamah Yuli agreed with Dani's idea.

Mak Nur is getting embarrassed in front of Dani. All his family was still nice when he was acting so annoying. The one who was very proud of him instead left him without any news, his crude language abandoned without any news.

Mak Nur wanted to refuse the ride, but he did not know the way home. The number of public transport lines has left him confused. An awkward feeling creeps into the heart. Not good taste, afraid to say good when there are buttons.

Oh God, is this my reward for my harsh attitude toward Dani? Inner Mak Nur with teary eyes.

Mamah Yuli looked back, seeing Mak Nur speechless. Go back and embrace his shoulder. Makes it realize you have to get in the car immediately.

Dani nodded, "Yes, Mah."

Dani drove the car to the main line. Start to follow the rhythm of the car. Mamah Yuli invites Mak Nur to talk about Umrah. They were very excited about the worship in the holy land.

Dani pulled over the car at a farmhouse. It is time for lunch and dzuhur time. Mamah Yuli invites Mak Nur to come down and eat there.

"Well, Dani prayed first. Just wrap it up as usual, huh? Rice sauce is a little, use the lungs." Dani immediately rushed to the mosque near the restaurant.

Disa who had finished teaching immediately rushed to go somewhere. He said Istighfar repeatedly. Sighs deeply for his anger to subside. He contacts Aji repeatedly, but is not answered by the man.

Where is the responsibility to my mother? Aji's taking my mom to Semarang, then why was she left behind? Vaccination does not take one day. However, why did he have the heart to make Mak Nur wait up to three hours more?

Disa drove her motorbike to the boarding school. It was the only place she could go to to meet Aji. Upon arriving, he sees Aji has just parked his car.

"Mas Aji, wait!" call Disa with a step in a hurry.

Aji turned his head while patting his eel. The man had indeed completely forgotten the mother who was still in Semarang. Disa said her regards and then sighed again.

"Why pat the forehead, Mas? Has anyone forgotten?" asked Disa annoyed.

His frustration is well-founded. Mak Nur does not have a mobile phone, never goes far except only in Demak, and does not know the transportation department he must go to.

"Dik, sorry, I forgot to pick up my mom. Yes, I picked it up now, please don't be angry," said Aji regretfully.

Can close his eyes, "No need, Mas. My mother went home with relatives. Sorry to bother you, please don't respond tomorrow if you ask for your help. It's nothing, I just ..., huft ..., want to be angry also can't because it's not your fault entirely. Never mind, I'm just asking for help, tomorrow again if you ask for help, subtly refuse. Excuse me, Assalamu'alaikum." Disa immediately left Aji.

"Wa'alaikum greetings" replied a woman. Being able to turn his head, it turns out that Buk Yah had been near them.

"Why, Nduk? Aji made you mad?" ask Buk Yah.

He smiled and greeted the woman. He shook his head. "No, Buk. Sorry, Disa has to go home soon. There's something urgent. Assalamu'alaikum." Can go back to kissing Buk's hand.

"Wa'alaikum hail, be careful." Buk Yah smiled seeing the steps of his former candidate so calm despite being upset.

Buk Yah turned to face Aji. Ask what exactly is it? Why was Disa holding so much anger in her?

"Sorry, Mi, Aji this morning delivered my mother to Semarang for meningitis vaccine before Umrah. Then, there is a precarious phone that makes Aji have to leave mother. Uh, even forgot to pick up," Aji explained so lightly, without the slightest guilt.

"Astaghfirullah .., this is you! Who's the phone from until you can leave your parents alone?" Buk Yah was angry with his son.
