The Moon Among the Stars

25

Rata awakens when adzan shubuh. Rara was a little hysterical but was restrained when she saw Ayumi lying on the prayer mat in a prostration state.

Rara's mind was out of shape and Parno saw that. Rara got out of her bed and walked over to Ayumi. Rara's index finger touched Ayumi's waist and slightly pushed, Ayumi's body collapsing to the side making Rara really scream hysterically.

"Awwww... Grandma!!" rara shouted in a loud, loud and hysterical voice.

Rara ran towards the door and opened the door of the room looking for Grandma Arsy's room.

"Grandmother! Grandma Arsy!" rara shouted like a confused person.

"What's up, Ra? Just wanted to pray the dawn, you've been shouting, what's up?" my grandmother answered, opening the door to her room.

"Grandmother! Ay .. Agra ... Innalilahi," said Rara restrained and ran towards the room.

"What Ra! Don't make Grandma's heart recur" said Grandma followed Rara to Ayumi's room.

Rara had entered the room first and was followed by Grandma Arsy who looked a little exhausted and gasping for breath.

Ayumi was still lying sideways in the same position as before when Rara left her to call Grandma Arsy right above the prayer mats of Mother Ayumi.

Rara approaches Ayumi's body and emboldens herself to touch Ayumi's face on her forehead and cheeks.

There was no response from Ayumi's body. The body remained silent and looked stiff.

"See Nek! Ayumi did not move at all. Ayumy! Wake up Ayumi, don't leave Rara alone in this world" Rara said, crying hysterically.

"Hust .. keep your word Ra. Look and make sure it is right. It's possible that Ayumi fell asleep" Granny Arsy said slowly and calmed herself down.

Though Grandma Arsy was panicked and confused but saw Ayumi who was just silent like that, making Granny Arsy even more helpless. Will lose again and again for the umpteenth time.

Not even a month, Grandma Arsy abandoned his son and favorite daughter-in-law. Did today also have to lose Ayumi, his favorite granddaughter.

Granny Arsy's face turned sad. Arsy's grandmother emboldened herself to approach her beloved granddaughter and make sure everything Rara said was not true.

Grandma Arsy sat down next to Ayumi. His right hand rubbed his forehead until Ayumi's head was covered with mucus.

"Ayumi ..." call Grandma Arsy to Ayumi very gently.

There is no answer and no movement. Ayumi was still in the same position, but if observed clearly and carefully there was a sound of breath that was so subtle that it was barely heard. Occasionally sounds a very soft snoring.

"Looks like what you said wasn't true, Ayumi was just fast asleep, Ra," Granny Arsy explained.

Rara looked at Ayumi still with fear and then looked back at Grandma Arsy who was in sebwlah Ayumi. Rara approached the two and sat down beside Ayumi.

Mukena Ayumi in the window and touched the neck of Ayumi, then moved on Ayumi's wrist. Ayumi's pulse was still clear. The last time Rara touched the heart, Ayumi's heartbeat beat slowly but surely.

"believe it? My granddaughter is okay, Ayumi just fell asleep so well that there were no sounds that disturbed her sleep. Maybe Ayumi was exhausted" Granny Arsy said slowly.

"I'm sorry Rara, Grandma. Rara panicked earlier," said Rara slowly with a very sorry face.

"Yes Nek. Rara will wake Ayumi up" Rara said politely.

Arsy's grandmother stood up and came out of Ayumi's room and proceeded to perform the morning prayer which had been delayed due to a small incident that caused a little panic.

Rara looked at the sweet face of Ayumi who was still fast asleep. 'Beautiful, ayu and sweet and graceful, ' Rara's inner heart.

'How the adamites don't like you Ayumi. You are perfect in their eyes, you are kind, friendly and unkind, plus you have good manners and high ethics, your face is beautiful, and you are smart. Only lucky people can get you, Rara. Rara touched Ayumi's facial skin that was as soft as a baby's skin.

At once Ayumi squirmed her body because of Rara's touch on her cheek.

"Yumy! Are you still alive?" rara shouted innocently.

Ayumi opened her eyes slowly and blinked her eyes because of the lights in her bedroom.

"Rho? You why?" ask Ayumi slowly.

"There's nothing Ay. I thought you fainted earlier," said Rara.

Though if you want to be told to Ayumi how the tension of the shubuh earlier, and Rara had mentioned Ayumi had been innalilahi because it did not move at all without checking first.

Rara smiled and suddenly chuckled considering the incident earlier.

"Cock his laugh like that? What was? I'm avoiding ya?" ayumi asked confused by her best friend's attitude which looked strange this morning.

"There wudhu continues to pray Ay shajuh. I have an uninvited guest again" Rara said, covering her mouth with her right hand.

"Iya Ra," answered Ayumi briefly and then went into the bathroom to worship and then perform the prayer.

Rara had cleaned herself up and was neat with trousers and t-shirts to work out this morning. Ayumi is also neat with her sports clothes, do not forget the instant veil with matching colors to make Ayumi look beautiful.

"It's really pretty Ay. If I wear a hijab, it's as pretty as you?" said Rara slowly who looked a little bit that with the new appearance of Ayumi who was more pleasing to the eye and cool in the eye.

"Ra, wear the hijab from the heart not just for the styles or follow the current fashion trends. Wearing the hijab is the obligation of a Muslim woman to close her aura and keep herself from things that are not good. At least if the clothes we wear have made people reluctant, of course, the person will also be reluctant to approach us" said Ayumi explained.

"I want to try, like you Ay, like Kak Zura too, but I'm afraid of people scolding us" Rara said slowly as she looked at her face in the mirror.

"Why should they be afraid in the scorn of people, it is a sign that they do not understand the religion of Ra. See the Prophet, he is our role model, his soul and body are not afraid to defend his religion. Humiliation, ridicule, and harsh words have become part of the consequences of someone being in a good circle of life" said Ayumi explained.

"Well, Ayumi you're great at saying things I don't know myself. Then what am I supposed to do, you think Ay?" ask Rara slowly.

"Convince your intentions Ra. Then fix things that are still not good, try occasionally to hijab then over time will get used to it. It was hot, hot and not good at first. But back again, what are our intentions for? That's the key, Ra, who knows that you are not someone else" said Ayumi slowly gave an explanation.

The two looked at each other and threw a smile.

"Thank you Ay. You are very kind" said Rara sincerely.

"Sama-sama Ra. You are also the best friend" said Ayumi slowly.
