"brother crying" Adel chose to wait for her husband in the shanum room,
"what are you doing here, why don't you knock on the door?" shanum was surprised when a voice resuscitated him from his daydream.
"don't knock, even Adel has banged on the door with shoes" adel landed his buttocks soft sofa in the room shanum.
"really?? why didn't you hear it?" shanum who was daydreaming did not hear a knock on the door at all.
"big brother why crying" Adel did not discuss the question shanum, he actually asked back.
"where there is a brother crying" shanum, then rose from his chair and sat next to Adel.
"then brother will make a flickering excuse? hehh here where there is dust"
"no, I'm just. eye pain, maybe"
"what adel should make a tribute to the most skilful employee" shanum just kept quiet, maybe it's true there's something shanum is thinking about.
"big brother why?" this time the voice softened, hoping her brother would tell her about the sadness that was being felt.
for a moment there was no sound in the room only the clang of the clock on the wall that sounded melodious, shanum was still hesitant to tell a story, but he also could not continue to hide his feelings.
when shanum was about to open his mouth, there was a knock on the door followed by the sound of greetings from outside the shanum room.
"get in" after the salam shanum welcome to enter.
"dev's going home yet?" shanum asked when dev had arrived before him.
"should have been, but it looks like you guys are having some business" Dev sees the tension between the two.
between Adel who was waiting for shanum to speak and shanum who was still hesitant to say it.
"no, I'm just accompanying Adel waiting for you, I happen to have my job done" shanum did not want dev also suspicious of him.
"in that case, I can pick up Adel now"
"of course" shanum stood up from his seat back in the chair, tidying up the documents as he too was about to return home.
"brother adel go home first, brother be careful, if you need anything call adel" shanum nodded with a smile.
"sister-in-law, thank you for keeping Adel for me" there was no more awkwardness when dev spoke to shanum.
everything flows naturally.

"honey" dev broke his body, put his head in the lap of adel who was sitting on the fur carpet in front of the television, watching a cartoon of children rats and cats who were playing chases.
"yes, mas"
"what's wrong with shanum"
"mas saw it too?"
"yes, it seems that shanum is not okay, shanum does not usually look moody like that, although it hides with a smile but the look in his eyes clearly looks like he is covering the wound"
adel silently heard the words of the man who a year ago made a sacred promise in front of his father.
"sorry, not the intention of mas still the same attention shanum, but.." dev confused explain, he thought the silence adel because of anger more precisely jealousy maybe.
"hey mas, you think you're jealous of shanum?" adel was thinking the same thing.
"if not, then shut up"
"i think so too"
the night is getting late when a pair of people of different sexes are discussing the possibilities of shanum.

shanum pov
the sky is completely black just decorated with dark twinkling starlight and a little smile from the moon, according to the hijri calendar is currently still a young date, the moon does not look perfect, but still seems beautiful.
as the second night has passed but these eyes are still reluctant to be closed, there is a longing that is neglected in this heart.
longing for a figure that may still exist, but not where it exists.
how's my hero of my life? putting aside all the wounds just to see me smile.
mother, I miss. without being able to prevent these tears continue to flow like a boundless tributary.
I set my feet to the bathroom, washing the limbs that are the legal condition of ablution.
want me to complain all feelings to the creator, He is the All-Mighty, hoping that one day His gifts will be on my side.
without despair in the last third of my night, I always ask the Most Giving Thing.
I heard a cell phone ring when my eyes were closed.
this head feels heavy when I want to wake up, but I force it to open my eyes.
"assalamu'alaikum" I said hello after sliding the green button on my phone.
(wa'alikumsalam) I heard a greeting from across, I knew it was my brother's voice.
"what's the deck, tumben early in the morning contact kaka, even kaka has not been up"
(what brother is fine)
"it's so good, why?"
(tumben this hour hasn't woken up yet?)
"what time is it?"
(eight o'clock) I was immediately shocked to hear the number eight.
it turned out that I fell asleep after the prayer shabuhan. without turning off the phone connection, I rushed off my face, then quickly entered the bathroom, and then quickly entered the bathroom,
there was still a voice calling, but I ignored it.
🍒🍒🍒
"are you okay?"
arriving at the office it turns out Adel was waiting in my room.
"do you have no job" I replied with a question.
"my job is just making sure brother's okay"
"sister's fine deck, now your job's done right"
"does that mean my brother kicked me out?" "of course yes, my mind answered. actually not the intention of expelling, just that if adel continues here it will definitely charge an explanation.
"that's not it, it's just kaka ....."
"while not wanting to be disturbed" not yet finished I replied adel already snatched first.
"but unfortunately Adel will still be here until you want to tell me" adel continued his words again, before I could respond.
"ka, it's enough to pretend, enough brother covered the wound with a laugh, Adel is old enough to be a place to share"
right, it's time I shared my sadness with her.
"sister" was calling back when there was no response from me.
"sister it's okay deck"
"what you want, Adel will try to fulfill as well as you can, like a brother who always creates the will"
apparently my words were not heeded at all, adel still kekeh want to know what happened to me.
"say what you want?" adel asked back.
"mother" I softly answered Adel's question,
there was an inexplicable expression from Adel's countenance, I had expected him to be surprised.
"mother?" repeated adel lirih also even his voice was almost inaudible.
