The Moon Among the Stars

Ayumi, Mother Andara and Zura have said goodbye to Kyai Toha, Mother Icha, Afnan and Kahfi to return to Grandma Arsy's house. Meanwhile Mother Andara and her daughter Zura will live with Grandma Arsy and Ayumi, until the time can not be determined.

"Ayumi, let Afnan and Kahfi deliver you. Get ready," said Mother Icha slowly.

"No need Mother, the house is close only at the end of the road, the time must be delivered," replied Ayumi softly.

"Ekhm, then Mother come along, all afternoon walks, want to meet Grandma Arsy too," said Mother Icha slowly a little thought.

"Yes Mother, take them, let Kahfi pick you up, ask permission from Grandma Arsy," Kyai Toha told Mother Icha, his wife.

"Mother change clothes first, you sit first here," said Mother Icha slowly.

Mother Icha went into the room to change her clothes and then went into the kitchen and opened the food cabinet looking for a suitable hand to give to Grandma Arsy.

After preparing and wrapping the fruit with a plastic bag, Mother Icha rejoined the living room, meeting Ayumi, Mother Andara and Zura.

"Have Mother? The sun was about to sink, poor Mother Andara and Kak Zura, already look tired," said Ayumi softly greet Mother Andara and Zura who looked lethargic and tangled.

"Fi, pick up Mommy before maghrib huh?" tell Mother Icha to her youngest son.

"Let Afnan alone pick up Mother," said Afnan interrupted Mother's speech to Kahfi.

Mother looked at Kahfi and Afnan in turn. Mother was a bit hesitant when Afnan's eldest son was, the first reason, Afnan was a cold and cute and serious man, so his life was flat, rarely smiling let alone laughing, while Kahfi, who was, his youngest son has a character and attitude that is inversely proportional to his Brother, Kahfi is a friendly, gentle, and jolly man.

"Alright Afnan, Mother wait at the house of Ayumi," said Mother relented and blinked one eye at Kahfi to want to understand.

Kahfi just looked at her mother with a smile and gave her thumb to her mother, a sign that Kahfi was fine.

That afternoon at Grandma Arsy's house already looked crowded. Ayumi has expressed Ayumi's good intentions to help Mother Andara and Kak Zura to Grandma Arsy.

"Me meet Grandma Arsy, Grandma Ayumi. Ayumi is an orphan girl," Granny Arsy said slowly.

Ayumi is in the kitchen and making drinks for Grandma Arsy and her guests.

"Ay," call Kahfi from the back door that connects the back porch with Grandma Arsy's kitchen.

"Astagfirullah, Brother Fi, Ayumi was shocked. What was? Why not go in front? It's not good to see people, especially by Grandma Arsy," Ayumi said in a panic.

Ayumi does not want people who see the two of them to be misunderstood, until Ayumi is said to be a wild girl who is uncivilized, especially now Ayumi's status as an orphan girl.

"Sister, just want to make sure that you are okay," said Kahfi innocently.

Ayumi smiled and then chuckled softly, her hands were busy making sweet tea for her guests, took a glass and filled the tea water into the glasses and added enough sugar and stirred it until mixed.

"Silver is pinter mode yes," said Ayumi slowly who still put the glasses on the tray.

"Since when is Big Brother mode for matters of the heart, Big Brother has indeed fallen for you Ayumi. Your charm that makes Brother always say your name in like your brother. Forgive the sassy Brother to borrow the name of Ayumi to always say," said Kahfi slowly and steadily.

"You mind Ay? Answer dong Ay, do not just be silent," said Kahfi with a little pleading.

"Sir Fi, Ayumi wants to focus on school first, wants to pursue Ayumi's dreams and ideals as a doctor" Ayumi explained.

"Is this a sign that you're rejecting me Ay? Or is it because of Abang Afnan that you're like this?" kahfi said slowly.

Ayumi shook her head slowly.

"Smoothly rejecting is definitely Sister Fi. For Kak Afnan also the same treatment, which distinguishes the current Ayumi likes with Kak Afnan," said Ayumi firmly.

"But, if one day fate does take you for Big Brother, what will you do Ay," said Kahfi slowly leaning against the kitchen wall near the door. Both of Kahfi's eyes continued to stare at Ayumi, his gaze could not be separated from Ayumi's movements.

"Think of it all later Sis, the most important thing right now and appreciate all Ayumi's decisions. Forgive Ayumi, Brother," said Ayumi slowly while carrying a tray filled with warm tea water to give to the guests in front.

Kahfi continued to look at Ayumi, 'You are my girl Ayumi, and at any time will remain the sister girl, ' Kahfi's inner self in her heart.

"Kahfi!!" said Mother Icha half-screaming when she saw her youngest son was in the kitchen Ayumi.

"Mother?" kahfi said when she saw Mother Icha enter the kitchen Ayumi.

"What are you doing here? Do not disturb Ayumi, your brother already has Ayumi," Mother reminded.

Kahfi smiled wryly and said sternly, "Before the yellow janur curved, Ayumi belongs to no one, only prayer can melt one's heart."

Mother Icha gazed at Kahfi while slicing through the bolu rolls brought from her house as a hand for Grandma Arsy.

"You love that girl over there with your brother? Do not Kahfi, can be civil war later," said Mother Icha shook her head slowly, the mind of Mother Icha has gone far in a direction that is not good.

"Kahfi likes Ayumi from the beginning, and the love turns into love, but Kahfi does not want to express in particular, enough with the attention and affection of Kahfi for Ayumi. Kahfi knows, Ayumi's heart is only for Abang Afnan, the first love since ten years ago," said Kahfi slowly.

Both eyes of Mother Icha membola hear Kahfi speech. "Ten years? Not wrong with Mother?" ask Mother Icha to Kahfi.

"long story. Mommy asks in a fairy tale with Abang Afnan later before going to bed," said Kahfi while chuckling.

"Of course, Mother's child is the most fondly seduced Mother," said Mother Icha slowly and then arrange the cakes on a plate.

"Ayumi is like Mother. Soft, friendly, kind, loving and simple," praise Kahfi.

"Hem, who was in love, forgot to go home. Go home Fi, it is not good to see people let alone see your brother," said Mother Icha slowly.

"Yes Mother, Kahfi is home. Just wanted to make sure Ayumi got home safely or not" Kahfi chuckled.

"Astagfirullah Kahfi, don't be bucin. Ayumi is your brother's candidate," Mother reminded Kahfi.

Kahfi returned to her home happy. Meet for a moment, it feels like it has been made to float, especially so it can be together.
