The Moon Among the Stars

27

It's been fifteen minutes they walk casually around Grandma Arsy's village. They both chatted casually about the ideals they wanted.

The morning air was very cool, even though the sun had begun to rise. The expanse of rice fields that begin to turn yellow adds to the atmosphere of the countryside is increasingly felt.

"It's very safe this village Ay. Look at the people as well as being friendly and polite. The scenery here is also beautiful, more comfortable here," said Rara full of happiness.

From the beginning came, Rara was comfortable with the warmth of the Ayumi family, even though there was only Grandma Arsy and Ayumi, but they both looked compact and took care of each other.

Very different from his family life. His father Pak Sukoco is busy with his business affairs, Mama Rara is also busy with his social friends, Kak Zura is busy with his activities outside the house.

Rara's facial complexion changed instantly as she watched one family leisurely walk together filled with laughter and warm chatter passing by on her second side.

Ayumi has since been monitoring Rara, a girl who looks strong but is actually unstable and weak.

Rara still looked at the happy family then turned her sad face the other way. His life is good and fulfilled even excess, but matters of heart and attention, Rara rarely get it all.

"Rho? You okay?" ayumi asked quietly and seemed hesitant to ask.

Rara stopped and walked to the edge of the rice field. Rara sat just about anywhere on dry land that was safe to rest on.

"I'm fine Ay," said Rara briefly. Rara's gaze turned to the female farmer who held her baby in the back, while the mother carried a basket and harvested chillies.

As strong and strong as it is to be a woman. Her shoulders must be strong to carry her child, her hands must be strong to do all her homework, her legs must be strong to walk for a living to help her husband, her eyes must be strong to wait for her husband to come home, and his body must be strong to bow down in gratitude to Allah SWT.

"Ra?" call Ayumi while patting Rara on the shoulder when she sees that Rara's eyes are wet.

Rara's tears had already trickled down and flowed down her cheeks and chin. Rara wiped her tears with the back of her palm.

"Ra?" call Ayumi slowly. Ayumi looked at her best friend with pity. Ayumi knows very well the feelings of someone who misses her family.

Ayumi herself misses her Father and Mother, but Ayumi tries to take everything and leave it all to Allah SWT. This might be the best way for the Ayumi family. There is a lot of wisdom from all events if you can respond wisely.

Ayumi's gaze could not be separated from Rara. Ayumi called her best friend for the umpteenth time in a soft voice.

"Ra?" call Ayumi slowly.

Hearing Ayumi's call, Rara turned to Ayumi and hugged her best friend.

"I want to be like the others. Having a whole family, a warm one, and a harmonious one" Rara said as she cried.

Rara even forgot, there are more sad life than her who still has a whole family, just thinking about their respective egos.

Ayumi returned the hug of her best friend. Ayumi patted Rara's back slowly and then rubbed her slowly. Ayumi must be a good friend, who can provide comfort as a friend when her best friend is in trouble or is not okay.

"I'm sorry Ay. Not that I offended you with my problem, but..," Rara said halted for a moment and let go of the hug.

"Ofyou!!" kahfi and some of Kahfi's friends shouted as they passed Ayumi who was sitting near a big tree.

Feeling her name being called, Ayumi turned to the origin of the voice. There Kahfi had waved his hand, and Ayumi spontaneously smiled sweetly and returned Kahfi's hand.

Seeing that reply, Kahfi also smiled triumphantly.

"What are you there for, Ay?" kahfi shouted to Ayumi.

"It's Rara" retorted Ayumi setwnagh shouting.

Kahfi did not see Rara there, because Rara's body was blocked by a large shady tree.

"Oh my God, is there Rara tho?" ask Kahfi slowly when she sees Rara who looks different.

"Yes Kak Kahfi" replied Rara with her head lowered.

Rara was embarrassed because her eyes were still wet after crying earlier.

"Kak Kahfi kok even here, it was left by friends Kak Kahfi," said Ayumi slowly.

"Let's go, you want to do something here. We're looking for breakfast yuk, brother hungry," Kahfi said slowly to Ayumi.

"Tuh Ra, invited by Kak Kahfi tuh," Ayumj chirped slowly and then stood up and left Rara and Kahfi to be alone.

"Ayumi, where are you going?" kahfi shouted very loudly and Ayumi did not rub it.

Ayumi ran fast with her head slightly lowered then ... Bughc ...

Ayumi almost fell to the ground, and Afnan swiftly held Ayumi away from falling.

Ayumi raised her head and saw the figure of Afnan right in front of her face. The faces of the two were very close and getting closer.

"You are beautiful Ay," said Afnan with a soft voice and half sigh.

The words that were thrown from Afnan's lips that were so close to Ayumi's face made Ayumi's body stiff and creeps out wonderfully.

Ayumi immediately broke away from Afnan's grasp. There is a different feeling now when Ayumi decided to prefer her study. It felt different like the first time I met Afnan.

'What's really going on, shouldn't I be happy, ' Ayumi looked at Afnan with a different look.

Ayumi shook her head quickly, as she stood up straight and tidied up her hijab and clothes, then continued running away from the place.

"God!! What's going on?" afnan shouted a little frustrated.

Afnan felt that something was wrong with Ayumi, Afnan looked around but nothing was there.

Kahfi was running from the opposite direction. Afnan asked, "You why Kahfi?"

"I'm after Ayumi, Bang," said Kahfi, gasping for breath.

From behind Kahfi, there was Rara who also ran after Ayumi.

"What's really going on?" said Afnan who is still confused.

"Leave it, brother. I'll be at home to let Rara talk, " said Rara slowly.

"Rome Ra, it's not good to play in a place like this. The woman is the only place to be at home" Kahfi said.

" Yes Kak Kahfi. Excuse me first, Kak Kahfi and Kak Afnan, Assalamu'alaikum" said Rara politely.

Rara walks home to Grandma Arsy's house. The journey is quite debilitating, because Rara alone there is no partner to just talk.

Kahfi and Afnan walked home as well, right behind Rara walking a short distance away.

"Why wasn't Ayumi taken seriously Bang?" ask Kahfi who began to kepo with the affairs of the Big Brother.

Afnan just shook his head slowly.
