The Moon Among the Stars

5

This afternoon Kahfi was already in KOBONG Pondok Pesantren owned by his father's friend. His big motorbike had to be left in his favorite garage. Afnan who is always in charge of delivering his beloved sister back to his habitat to become a true santriwan.

"Abang is proud of your wishes, Fi," Afnan said briefly as he walked towards Kobong Kahfi.

"Proud of what Bang? Supposedly, Fi is proud of you Brother. Abang fans are many," said Kahfi slowly while chuckling lightly throw a naughty smile at Afnan.

"Abang prefers high school and work rather than being a santri. But you can realize your wishes well, especially you are currently heading to become a Hafidz Qur'an," said Afnan with passion and pride.

"But Brother is cooler. After this internship Abang worked at a large Company," said Kahfi slowly reminding your success that has been wide open.

"It all has to be paid for with false love" Afnan said. There is a sense of tightness in the chest when expressing such honest words from the heart.

Kahfi listened to what Afnan Abanganya said. There was no response or comment for his brother. It turned out that what his brother lived was not as easy as he saw.

"The weight of accepting it all," asked Kahfi softly and a little scared.

"Very heavy. Because Brother never loved Zura and forever could not," Afnan said firmly.

"Sir Zura is beautiful, sholehah, clever. Less what Bang?" kahfi asked then with curiosity.

"Can't the heart not be lied to. The heart never chooses wrong. Will the heart find the best among the best?" said Afnan briefly with a wide smile.

"If so I agree Bang. So remember Ayumi's smile," said Kahfi innocently.

"Ojumi? You really like him, Fi?" tanya Afnan.

"Like yes. Love at first sight. But I don't think they're welcome Bang. From the look in his eyes, there was someone Ayumi liked." said Kahfi guessing.

"Why Bang. How does his smile so." asked Kahfi slowly who had since observed the movements of Afnan.

Afnan just glared at his sister who was curious about his brother's mood.

"Did you like Ayumi?" kahfi asked around and stared intently at Afnan.

Afnan who felt very disturbed by his sister's question immediately dismissed and pretended to be angry.

"Come in. That Mr. Kyai has been waiting," said Afnan briefly while pointing towards Pak Kyai who has since observed the two brothers.

Kahfi walked into the Kobong hallway with a large backpack on his back.

A few days to know Ayumi, Kahfi was quite able to know about Ayumi. There are some things that Kahfi asked directly with Grandma Arsy about Ayumi.

Afnan only smiled wryly at the confession of his sister Kahfi. His smile was just a little, there was a sick feeling when he heard that his sister also liked the same woman as him.

Afnan turned his body and walked with a raging mind. Kahfi stared at Afnan's back from a distance. Inwardly just guessing there must be something hidden by the Big Brother.

"Even if I have to retreat from my own brother, I will do it for the happiness of my loved ones" Kahfi said with a slightly forced smile.

"Sister Afnan!!" call a girl who is no stranger to her voice.

Yes, that's Zura's voice. Zura who had been this past three years wanted to share with him. But love can never be forced. Again the shadow of the little girl ten years ago always disturbed Afnan's mind.

That girl is Ayumi. The girl who managed to make herself fall in love, even though it was still very small. Ten years, Afnan waited to be reunited.

"Sister Afnan," Call Zura back by shaking his palm in front of Afnan's face that looks dreamy and unfocused.

"There's nothing, Afnan. Just a long time ago, Zura did not hear from Kak Afnan," said Zura Lirih with a face that was subdued down.

"Sister should be home soon. Forgive Brother, Zura. Brother still can not accept the ta'aruf," said Afnan short and cold.

Afnan left Zura just like that, and walked towards the motor park.

"I'm sorry Brother, Zura. You are the perfect woman, will certainly be able to get better than Big Brother," said Afnan in his heart.

When we speak our hearts, what can we do?. Love and love all the gifts of Allah SWT. We can only nurture and repay that love and affection to the person we like.

Afnan has boarded his motorbike and started to advance his motorbike very fast. His thoughts went on to Ayumi. The girl who had always liked Afnan, was currently his own protege.

The bike continued to accelerate until finally entered the yard of Granny Arsy's house. I don't know what the wind, which brought Afnan wanted to meet the girl.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Afnan giving his greetings while knocking on the door.

"Waalaikumsalam.." replied a girl from behind the door.

The living room door opens. There is Ayumi who only uses shorts and t-shirts with hair locked carelessly because she just woke up from her sleep. Ayumi's face that looked still tired was surprised to see the figure of Afnan in front of her.

"Of the hell?" call Afnan slowly.

"Sir .. uh Mr. Afnan," Ayumi replied slightly stuttering.

"Call Kak Afnan only unless it is at school" said Afnan slowly.

Ayumi blinked her eyes and nodded her head slowly. Ayumi still could not believe that Afnan was really in front of her at the moment.

"So you can't come in? Can't sit?" afnan asked briefly and looked at the two eyeballs of Ayumi who still looked cute.

"Astagfirulah.. Sorry Brother. Please come in and have a seat, brother. Ayumi call Grandma Arsy first" Ayumi said politely.

Afnan walked into the house and sat in the guest chair after being invited by Ayumi. Ayumi goes inside to call Grandma Arsy.

"Oh Nak Afnan's. What's the matter with Afnan coming here? What's the need?" ask Grandma Arsy politely.

"Grandma Arsy healthy?" afnan asked back when he kissed Grandma Arsy's back hand politely.

"Grandma's fine. What's up with Afnan?" ask Grandma Arsy to investigate. Because this does not become a habit of coming late in the afternoon if there is no important need.

"It's Grandma. Want to take Ayumi out for a walk, ", said Afnan briefly.

"Ohh like that. If Grandma doesn't mind. Grandma should ask Ayumi," said Grandma Arsy slowly.

Ayumi who had eavesdropped on the conversation between Afnan and Grandma Arsy was also happy. Because Afnan came to take him away.

"Ayumi wants Nek," Ayumi cried out in a loud and spontaneous voice from behind the living room wall. Ayumi immediately closed her mouth that could not be compromised at times like this. The shame is no longer. His face immediately flushed like a boiled crab.

From the direction of the living room, Grandma Arsy could only laugh loosely and shake her head.

"Based on today's children," said Grandma Arsy and throw a smile at Afnan who had been smiling widely when he heard Ayumi's scream.
