The Light of Love Salma

Meet Sania

After getting permission Tari and Salma prepared and went out of the boarding school with a smile that continued to spread on the lips of both.

"Ahhhh, cool," said Tari while stretching out both hands enjoying the atmosphere outside the boarding school that felt so different.

"What's the difference with the air in the dance boarding school? the same feeling," said Salma felt strange to see Dari so excited and enjoy the air that he thought was still the same as pesantren because they had not passed the main gate.

"You won't be able to understand what I think Salma is, right now I feel free the air outside this boarding school feels so fresh because I can do something that can't be done in pesantren." Obviously Dance while continuing to smile enjoying the atmosphere outside the boarding school.

"Don't dance! remember the message of Ummi! we can't disappoint him." Salma again reminded Ummi's message after hearing Tari's explanation.

"What do you think I want to do until Ummi is disappointed?" Dance began to wonder what Salma was thinking.

"I don't know, I don't think about anything, just remind you" Salma replied.

"You take it easy, I'm not a person who likes to disappoint others, we can go for a walk and eat whatever we want and can't meet in the pesantren." Tari explained what she could do outside the pesantren and could not do inside the pesantren.

"By the way the food is not in the pesantren, how about we eat the serabi in the usual place?" salma Proposal.

"Well, that's a good idea, cuz we're leaving." Dance with passion.

Dari and Salma do often spend free time at the cafe which provides a menu of various flavors, in addition to the place and the food is good price is also very friendly in the pocket aka cheap festive.

"Home time Dance" Salma said.

"Yes have to go home first, we want to go to the cafe up what if not go home," said Tari.

The two walked until the end of the road looking for a vehicle they could ride.

"What are we going up on?" tawar Tari when seeing some bentor lined up neatly at the end of the road they passed.

"May too, come on!" salma excitedly pulled the hand of Dance to climb onto the bentor.

Dance smiled at Salma's behavior that looked like a child who had just gotten a toy.

"Where are we going, Neng?" ask the bentor.

"We go to Cempaka Street, yes" replied Tari, while Salma just fell silent to enjoy the atmosphere around which looked so beautiful.

"Ready, Neng," said the benthur with a smile that also expands.

Along the way there was only silence, no one spoke because the two were busy enjoying the atmosphere and the scenery that looked so beautiful on the left and right of the road.

"Thank you, sir," Salma said, handing over some money to the rickshawman.

"Thank you again, Neng," he said with a friendly smile.

"Finally, it feels like we haven't been home in a long time, right, Tari?" Salma inhaled deeply the air and then exhaled slowly, enjoying the atmosphere of the house that he had left two months.

"You're right, but why does your house still look clean and well maintained, Salma? strange," said Tari.

"Of course, you remember Sania?" Salma tries to remind Tari of someone they used to know.

"Sania, em~" Dari looks to think and remember who the girl Salma meant.

"That's right," Salma replied.

"Why Sania? what does your house have to do with Sania?" tanya Dance.

"I asked Sania to clean my house once a week, and instead she could use my motorbike and stay inside my house as she pleased." Reply Salma.

"Your idea is good too, but aren't you worried if Sania is using your house for something that's not good" Tari expressed her concern.

"Just keep calm, I've known Sania since I was a child and I'm very familiar with her nature, so you don't worry, let's go in!" Salma who felt that she had been on the porch for too long now invited Tari in and saw the conditions inside the house.

Slowly but surely, the smile that had been expanding slowly disappeared, the eyes that had been sparkling now looked slightly condensed and watery, a drop of clear water came out from there.

"Salma, what's wrong with you?" tanya Tari was astonished to look towards Salma who now looked sad.

"I remember my late mother Tari," said Salma as she stared fixedly at the door of a room that Tari knew if it was a room that had been occupied by the mother.

"Prophe Salma, send fatihah if you miss him!" Dari walked closer towards Salma and rubbed her trembling back.

Dari was very sure if Salma was currently expressing the feeling of sadness that she felt even without sound, but the vibrations seen on her back already showed how sad Salma was. The atmosphere momentarily became quiet because Salma still evaporated all the flavors.

"Assalamualaikum" said a girl who was standing at the door.

"Waalaikum salam," said Tari turned towards the door.

"Sania!" call Tari makes Salma turn to the door.

"Sister Salma, Sister Dance!" Sania looks so happy to see the two girls that she already considers like her own sister.

"Sania" said Salma, wiping away the tears left on her cheeks.

"Sister why? is Brother sick?" sania asked as she crouched down in front of Salma holding her cheek which was now sitting on the worn out chair in the living room.

"No, Brother only remembers Mom's late home, how are you?" Salma who did not want to continue to dissolve in sadness tried to divert the conversation.

"I'm good, brother, even very good and healthy, Brother, why come home now, is there something worrying? because as far as I know the children of Santri is not yet the time to go home," asked Sania.

"Sister just want to take a walk for a while, later in the afternoon Brother will return to the boarding school." Reply Salma.

"I guess Big Brother will be home longer," Sania shrieked in a disappointed tone.

"Khem, I'm not a statue," interrupted Dance who had since felt ignored by the two girls in front of her.

"Sorry Brother, I forgot that there is a big brother here" Sania said without the slightest expression of guilt in sight.

"You're the bad sister, because" Tari patted Sania's arm softly, laughing at the two.

"Here you go, you guys gonna keep chatting here or we're gonna go on a walk?" keep Dance.

"Astaghfirullah, I got carried away by the atmosphere and forgot that after this we will go for a walk" Salma said.

"Aren't you going to use the bike?" sania asked, as if understanding the way her brothers thought.
