The Moon Among the Stars

24

Ayumi ran as fast as she could to get to Granny Arsy's house faster. Before entering the house, Ayumi wiped the rest of her tears with her palms on the eyes and cheeks, then rubbed them with the tip of the veil to quickly dry and look fine. . Ayumi tried not to know that she was not okay.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Grandma, where's Rara?" ayumi asked quickly and was still gasping for breath due to running fatigue.

"Waalaikumsalam, in the room, was delivered Nak Kahfi. Ayumi, who's going with you?" ask Grandma Arsy back to Ayumi.

"Tadi Ayumi was just sitting in the park with Kak Afnan. Ayumi went to the room first, Nek," said Ayumi briefly and then walked to her room.

"Yes Ayumi" said Grandma Arsy slowly.

Grandma Arsy just smiled when she saw

Ayumi opens her room and sees Rara changing her clothes and falling asleep. One hand of Rara closed both her eyes.

"Ra ..." call Ayumi slowly. Ayumi walked up to her bed and sat by her bedside.

"Ra, you haven't slept yet, have you? Are you disappointed with me? Ra, I'm sorry," said Ayumi, feeling guilty.

"Yellow baaaaa ... Why are you Ayumi?" rara asked slowly looking at Ayumi's disheveled face.

"I? It'sit's okay. Kahfi said you came home first, Ra. I was thinking until I ran away so quickly get home," said Ayumi slowly.

"You're why Ayumi, I'm okay. Suddenly my stomach hurt, and then I asked to go home" Rara told a lie.

Rara held back her cries to avoid being seen by Ayumi. A complicated love story. Rara knows, Ayumi never liked Kahfi. Kahfi admitted everything, including his love for Ayumi. Rara immediately remembered the incident in the park earlier when she was with Kahfi.

'Forgive Brother, Ra. Brother can't repay your affection. Better Brother be honest from the beginning and hurt you, than Brother must pretend and in the end will hurt you more, Kahfi said that still ringing in Rara's mind.

'Brothers like Ayumi?' Rara cried when she asked Kahfi this.

'Like, even very love, ' words are painful but it's a Kahfi's honesty to Rara.

At that time Kahfi only wanted to be a male man who admitted everything honestly without any pretense.

Rara was silent considering the incident. The pain and disappointment is not completely gone, but it is also not good if Ayumi is the target of Rara's anger.

"Rho? What exactly is going on?" ask Ayumi to Rara who looks dreamy.

Rara was slightly surprised as Ayumi flicked her palm in front of Rara's face.

"What Ayumi?" rara answered immediately in surprise.

"Don't be angry Ra. Stay my best friend" said Ayumi slowly.

"Ayumi, we'll stay friends forever. I know, we're still too small to like someone better we focus on school and ideals like you said last afternoon" Rara said.

Ayumi smiled wryly, there was nothing to patronize Rara. Ayumi reminded that as a warning to herself. Not advising someone to follow what Ayumi did, not at all.

"Don't follow me, Ra. Be yourself and never be someone else for something, you yourself will be tormented" Ayumi explained.

"No Ay. I'll learn as you get better too. At the very least, by equaling yourself, Kahfi can love me in the future. Maybe I have to be patient with time and process" said Rara steady.

"But Ra?" ayumi's speech came to a halt as Rara's index finger closed Ayumi's lips.

"We moved with Ra. Learn to be a better woman and sholehah" Ayumi said slowly.

"Aamiin ya Rabb," said Rara assured.

That night the two exchanged stories. Starting from Kak Zura, Rara, Afnan, Kahfi and Ayumi. Everything is interconnected and interconnected.

The time has shown at eleven o'clock at night, it does not feel if it has been chatting, there are only topics discussed.

"Sleep Ra. He said tomorrow morning to take a walk in the morning," said Ayumi slowly reminded their schedule tomorrow morning.

"Yes, yuk is sleeping. I'm sorry Ayumi, I misunderstood all of this" said Rara slowly.

They both hugged and forgave each other.

The room lights have been turned off, the window curtain has also been closed tightly. The two lay themselves side by side.

Ayumi and Rara had already closed their eyes, but both were unable to sleep. Both are still thinking about their problems.

The night is getting late, making Ayumi and Rara finally fall asleep with their respective minds.

This morning, Ayumi suddenly misses Alisha. Ayumi prayed for her parents.

As usual, Ayumi performed two rakaat tahajud prayers.

The sound of the alarm sounds very loud when the time has shown three o'clock in the morning.

Ayumi woke up and moved from her bed to the bathroom to make ablution.

Sajadah belonging to Mother Alisha already Ayumi title. The mukena that Ayumi wears also belongs to her late mother.

Ayumi performed the tahajud prayer of two rakaats with solemnity. After finishing praying, Ayumi dhikr and then do'a.

Ayumi prayed for her parents who had died, to be accepted by her Islamic faith, to be forgiven all her sins and to be placed by Allah SWT.

Her tears started to drip down her cheeks. Ayumi could not help her sadness considering that her parents were so quick to abandon themselves.

Sometimes Ayumi wants to go with her parents too. His heart was sore and painful, it felt like he wanted to keep crying on his mother's prayer mat.

'Ayumi ..' Ayumi's inner voice calmed her own heart.

The dish is very fragrant, fragrant fragrance belongs to Mother Alisha. 'Mother ... Ayumi. Ayumi has found a good man who helped Ayumi's life as a child. According to Ayumi's promise to Mother to love the man wholeheartedly Ayumi. However, the more Ayumi knew there was something strange in Ayumi's heart, Ayumi's inner self.

The tears were still pouring down just so wet Ayumi's cheeks. Details of the prayer beads that are still in Ayumi's grasp, still continue to spin following the tiny fingers of Ayumi reciting Asmaul Husna.

'Dad ... Ayumi misses Daddy. Ayumi is often afraid of solitude, but all that Ayumi has to go through with sincerity. Ayumi tries to accept everything patiently just as Dad always taught Ayumi, Ayumi's inner self.

Both of his eyes closed, Ayumi's cry that morning relieved Ayumi. There is a pleasure in itself when it has done Tahajud prayer.

Ayumi finally fell asleep on the prayer mat, and dreamed of her parents alternately.
