The Moon Among the Stars

The day was getting late, Ayumi said goodbye to Mother Andara and Kak Zura who had just returned from work to immediately go home.

Ayumi's job of making cakes is done. There were about five rainbow sponge baking pans that Ayumi made. One for Mother Icha, one for Grandma Arsy, one for Rara, and two for Mother Andara and Kak Zura.

Rara had woken up from her sleep and expressed her gratitude to Ayumi who had made a rainbow sponge for herself.

"Ay, don't forget to tell Kak Kahfi to deliver Rara tomorrow to Solo," said Rara slowly.

"Are you sure you're leaving tomorrow? You sleep here tonight, don't you, Ra?" ask Ayumi to Rara.

"Yes Ay, there are some things that Rara must finish there Ay," said Rara slowly.

"What's your dress, Ra?" ask Ayumi slowly.

"Let's Om Broto send to the driver all the money for Rara school," replied Rara slowly.

"Alright then, Ayumi went home first, Ra," said Ayumi slowly and hugged her best friend.

Ayumi went home confused. Want to help Rara to tell Kahfi about tomorrow's event.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Grandma," call Ayumi from the front porch of the house.

"Waalaikum... Ayumi, why is it late afternoon?" ask Grandma Arsy worried.

"Sorry Nek, Ayumi delivered Rara to meet Mother Andara, then make a cake, this is one for Grandma, and another one wants Ayumi to take her to Mother Icha's house" said Ayumi slowly explained.

"Grandma's worried, you don't usually come home late. How was graduation today?" ask Grandma Arsy to Ayumi.

"Alhamdulillah Nek, Ayumi managed to get the best score, but unfortunately Kak Afnan could not see Ayumi graduated today. How are you doing there?" ayumi said slowly.

"Think of school first, if Afnan is your soul mate, definitely will not go," said Granny Arsy advised.

"Yes Grandma, I've never been younger" Ayumi said with a smile.

"Because Grandma was young, Grandma regretted being married young, better Grandma pursue the ideals of Grandma to be a flight attendant" said Grandma innocently.

Both eyeballs Ayumi membola hearing Grandma Arsy's words were quite surprising, it turns out the ideals of Grandma Arsy was amazingly cool at that time.

"Seriously Grandma? Grandma's dream of becoming a flight attendant?" ask Ayumi in disbelief.

"Yes, Grandma so this used to be as beautiful as you, who liked Grandma too much, but what stuck in Grandma's heart was just your Grandpa. She is kind, sincere and responsible, that's what Grandma likes" Granny Arsy said slowly in light of her husband's kindness.

"Already Grandma. Don't discuss it again, Grandma will be sad," said Ayumi slowly.

"Where's the cake for Grandma?" ask Grandma Arsy to Ayumi.

"It's Grandma" Ayumi replied.

Ayumi opened a plastic bag containing two boxes of rainbow sponge, removed one cardboard for Grandma Arsy.

"Mom, Ayumi stay first, take a shower. This titip, for Mother Icha, Ayumi will take you there, can't Nek?" ask Ayumi slowly.

"Yes Ayumi, I can, but remember not to go home too late, yes," Grandma Arsy advised.

Ayumi went inside the house to her room. In her room, Ayumi sat on the edge of the bed and laid her weak body on her soft mattress.

His mind was bright, longing for the figure of the man Ayumi admired. He is Bayu's Father, Ayumi's Father, a good and responsible father.

'Ayumi misses Daddy, also misses Mommy. Ayumi has graduated with the best grades, thank you Daddy and Mommy who have been teaching Ayumi to be diligent, active in learning and time discipline, ' Ayumi's inner self in her heart.

Time has shown at four o'clock in the afternoon, Ayumi is getting ready to go to Mother Icha's house and bring the fruits of the hands of Mother Andara.

"Sir, Ayumi goes first" said Ayumi to Grandma Arsyb who was still sitting on the terrace of the house to enjoy the beautiful twilight.

Ayumi approached Grandma Arsy and kissed the back of Grandma Arsy's hand respectfully.

"Be careful Ayumi," said Grandma Arsy slowly.

The journey from the house of Ayumi is approximately fifteen minutes to get to the house of Mother Icha on foot.

Ayumi has arrived at Mother Icha's house, her house looks lonely and quiet.

"Waalaikumsalam.." answered Mother Icha from behind the door of her house.

The door opened, Mother Icha looked at Ayumi with a wide smile.

"Ofyou!!" shouted Mother Icha with pleasure.

Though only two days ago, Mother Icha to the house of Ayumi to leave Ayumi to Grandma Arsy at the request of Afnan, her eldest son.

"Mother Icha, how are you?" ayumi said softly.

Ayumi kissed the back of Mother Icha's hand and embraced Mother Icha affectionately. Mommy Icha is already considered like her own Mother by Ayumi. Moreover, Ayumi will be the daughter-in-law of Mother Icha is certain to be closer to their relationship.

"Mother is fine, Ayumi how is her graduation? Earlier Afnan asked Mother, but Mother said she did not know, Mother had not met Ayumi," said Mother honestly.

"Alhamdulillah Mommy, Ayumi graduated with the best grades," said Ayumi slowly.

"Good son, Mother call Afnan, will you talk to me?" ask Mother Icha to Ayumi.

"Don't Mommy, don't be disturbed, mti mti Bunda love news, Ayumi graduated," said Ayumi softly with a smile that was able to sedate the crowd to admire her elegance.

"Until you forget to let me in, let's talk at the door. Enter Ay," said Mother Icha while pulling Ayumi's hand to go inside.

Ayumi and Mommy Icha walk towards the living room. There are Kyai Toha and Kahfi who are busy playing chess, until the arrival of his future son-in-law did not have time to glance.

"Mas, this is Ayumi," Mother Icha told her husband.

Ayumi approached Kyai Toha and greeted him with respect. Kahfi who was in front of him just stared at Ayumi without blinking.

"Beautiful, Ay," Kahfi chirped as she was, winking one eye at Ayumi.

"Fi, it's your sister-in-law candidate, do not be tempted," Mother Icha advised.

"Yes Mother, not tempted. Kahfi just keep the soul mate, so do not be the same prayer in one third of the night," said Kahfi while chuckling.

"Kahfi," call Kyai Toha loudly.

"Yes sir" Kahfi replied politely.

"Do you play tight, checkmate," said Kyai Toha quietly while laughing loosely.

"Lho can? It wasn't like this" Kahfi said.

"Take care of your eyes!!" kyai Toha advised.

"Report sir," said Kahfi pleading.

"Father tired, want to go to the house of Ustad Yusuf, there is a need for a moment" said Kyai Toha slowly.

Ayumi followed Mother Icha who entered the kitchen, then placed a plastic package on the dining table.

"What is Ay?" tanya Bunda Icha stared at the package that Ayumi brought.

"This is Mommy, there is a cake from Mother Andara," said Ayumi slowly while opening the plastic.

"What cake?" ask Mother Icha while approaching Ayumi to see the cake she brought.

"This is Bolu Pelangi" said Ayumi softly.

"Where is Bolu Pelanginya? Kahfi wants to try," said Kahfi who came suddenly and took a piece of sponge cake.

Kahfi chewed the sponge cake deliciously.

"It's your thing, Ay?" ask Ayumi Kahfi.

"Why Brother?" ask Ayumi to Kahfi.

"Your artificial texture is typical" said Kahfi slowly.

Ayumi fell silent and stared fixedly at Kahfi. This man was so considerate, that even the characteristic cake that Ayumi made he memorized without having to ask.
