Seconds of the clock keep going leaving every event that will become a memory in the future.
"Assalamualaikum, Umik" Ghozi said shortly after arriving at his home.
"Waalaikum salam" said Umik with a smile that expands on his face to see sng son who is already at the door.
"Tumben's home, what's up, son? is everything okay?" tanya Umik looked strangely at Ghozi who was now standing in front of the Umik.
"Ghozi longs for Umik, and Ghozi also wants to eat Umik cuisine, which is why Ghozi came home" Ghozi replied.
"Why don't you tell me before you go home? Umik can masakin your favorite food," said Umik after hearing Ghozi's answer.
"So Ghozi didn't have time to tell Umik, Ghozi just got home from the station." Ghozi.
"Rigid train to the station?" ask Umik.
"Ghozi got a task from Ummi to pick up Abah," explained Ghozi.
"You must be tired, better now you rest first let Ummi make a drink," said Ghozi with a smile that expands on his face.
"Then Ghozi went to Ummi's room." Pamit Ghozi breezed away leaving Umik who now stepped into the kitchen to make Ghozi drink.
Ghozi stepped into the room with almost perfect words, the words he wanted to express to the Umik.
Tok ... tok ....
"Who?" sahut Ghozi from his room.
"It's Umik, Ghozi" said Umik who stood right at the door with a tray of squeezed orange ice and a jar of snacks that Umik deliberately brought for Ghozi.
"Open up! the door is not in the key" said Ghozi in a position still lying on a mattress without any intention to move away.
"Drink and eat this snack! after that Umik will cook for you," said Umik while giving a tray that he had brought.
"Umik doesn't have to bother! Ghozi is only here for a while, tomorrow Ghozi will return to the pesantren," said Ghozi who actually only intends to talk about what he feels to the Umik.
"Why is Ghozi fast, how about the day after tomorrow you go back to the pesantren?" Umik even gave a proposal to Ghozi.
"I have a lot of work in Umik boarding school, currently there also need a lot of teaching staff to supervise and correct the exam results of the students," Ghozi told her the reason for not being able to stay home for too long.
"Why does Umik feel that your arrival this time is not just because you miss Umik? or do you really want to say something Ghozi?" Umik expressed what he now felt.
"Ghozi does want to talk about something very important Umik, but Ghozi can not tell it now, Ghozi wants to rest first Umik, later Ba'da prayers isya' Ghozi will tell everything," Ghozi who heard the expression of Umik's heart chose to explain his arrival at this time.
"Umik will listen to whatever you want to tell Ghozi, and Umik hopes that what you will tell later is good not the other way around," Umik said the hope that seeped in his mind.
"What I will tell you later God willing is something good Umik, depending on whether Umik agrees or not, which is clear what I will say will not make Umik sad," Ghozi tried to convince Umik that what he was going to say later was not a bad thing.
"Thank God if so, Umik will wait for you in the family room after the prayer isya' later," Umik message before he finally left the room Umik.
"Well, Umik, I'll meet Umik in the living room after the prayers, '" Ghozi said.
Umik stepped away leaving Ghozi who was still loyal to be on the mattress while laying down to enjoy the comfort of the room he had lived in long enough.
Finding knowledge in pesantren is not an easy thing there are many things that must be sacrificed in addition to playing time with friends who are reduced, we must dare to sacrifice leaving the comfort we feel at home.
Day continues to pass by changing afternoon which began to be decorated orange color, the sun sign will soon return to the contest.
In contrast to Ummi who helped her to clean up her work, Umik chose to hire a housekeeper to help her with all the housework.
"Umik is arranging food for us to eat in a moment," replied Umik while arranging a plate next to the rice that has been neatly arranged in the middle of the table along with a side dish that surrounds it.
"Why didn't Bu Siti do it Umik?" tanya Ghozi was astonished by what Umik was doing.
"Umik wants to prepare everything himself Ghozi, after all today is a special day for Umik, so Umik does not want to miss it just like that" said Umik.
"Special day how Umik? will anyone come today?" asked Ghozi with a face full of curiosity.
"No, son, today the beloved son of Umik came, which is why Umik felt very happy because of it" Umik said with a sparkling face Umik said what he felt.
Hearing Umik's words was enough to make Ghozi full, his heart was heartbroken to hear Umik's words, Ghozi became the single most valuable treasure Umik had after the death of the Abi, because of this, Ghozi thought he wanted to get married and go home to accompany the Umik to manage the pesantren and restaurants that have branched a lot.
"Patience Umik! if the time has come, we will regroup here, "Ghozi is trying to make Umik's heart calm.
"Umik is always waiting for that day Ghozi, the shadow of living together with posterity and son-in-law is very often present in the mind of Umik, and hopefully all of that is not only a pseudo-shadow, but also a false shadow, but the reality that will be realized someday," Umik continued to say what came to his mind, loneliness and a sense of loneliness that had been as a companion seemed to disappear somewhere, he said, Umik felt very happy with the arrival of Ghozi which was not planned before.
"Hopefully the day will come soon Umik" said Ghozi waltzing away leaving Umik in the dining room.
"How can it be realized if the child still has no choice," grumbled Umik while continuing his work tidying up the dining table.
Umik waited long enough for Ghozi who was saying goodbye to perform ashar prayers in the mosque.
"How long, Ghozi?" ask Umik who just saw Ghozi coming.
"So there were some people who invited Ghozi to talk so a bit long, sorry if Umik waited too long" replied Ghozi.
"What are they talking about Ghozi?" ask Umik.
"Nothing, they only talked about a little bit of what happened here while I was away, not really important, just that Ghoziharus should keep listening to it for the good of this pesantren as well" Ghozi explained.
"Good, now we better eat together." Take Umik to Kafa.
"Okay, Umik," replied Ghozi.
Umik Umik wanted to get some food for Ghozi after which he took food for himself. The atmosphere of the dining table felt so quiet, there was not a single person there, only Ghozi and Umik were at the dining table.
"Did every day Umik eat alone like this?" tanya Ghozi imagined the Umik eating himself in such a desolate place.
"Not really, Umik rarely cooked Ghozi, only occasionally when Umik felt homesick for Umik cooking together with Bu Siti, and Umik also ate with him too," replied Umik.
"But, Umik will feel very happy if at the dining table is crowded with the sound of laughter of children who will make Umik feel happy" continued Umik, continued, he hopes Kafa can immediately think of getting married after returning tomorrow, because that's why. Umik just kept saying his desire to see Ghozi married and happy with him.
This time Ghozi did not answer or comment with what Umik said, for Ghozi at this time the most important how Umik agreed and willing to accept Tari as his wife.
Dinner is usually done in the afternoon is finished, Ghozi again went to the mosque to chat with the ustad and some residents around to wait for the time of prayer maghrib, Maghrib, after that Ghozi noticed the way the ustads taught in the afternoon, while waiting for the time of Maghrib prayer to arrive.
A busy day has been passed by Ghozi, now he is ready to say everything to Umik, good intentions that can no longer be delayed.
"Assalamualaikum," said Ghozi who was very sure if Umik had been waiting for him in the family room, because at this time the atmosphere of the house felt so quiet as if uninhabited.
"Umik's been waiting here for Ghozi?" asked Ghozi when he saw Umik sitting sweetly on a mattress floor that was quite tepal, the mattress that Umik deliberately put right in front of the television that was on.
Umik who is alone has everything, still feels lonely without anyone accompanying.
