The Moon Among the Stars

50

Ayumi walked quickly to Rara's house after getting off the public transport to the front of the alley of Mother Andara's house. His footsteps were fast as in a hurry and his hands held the fruits of the hands of Mother Icha for Mother Andara.

Right in front of the house of Mother Andara, it is clear that Kahfi's large red motorbike is still parked in front of the iron fence. Ayumi walked to the front porch of Mother Andara's house and touched the large motorcycle seat belonging to Kahfi that feels hot stinging, it's a sign indeed since the morning Kahfi was in the house of Mother Andara.

Ayumi's footsteps stopped and she heard the sound of Mother Andara's voice talking to someone inside.

"Mother please, accept Rara, repay her love so that Rara is happy, Fi. Mommy knows this is very hard for Kahfi, but Mommy does not know what to do especially if you do not ask for help from Kahfi, only Kahfi hope Mother for Rara's happiness," said Mother Andara slowly with a pleading tone.

"Forgiving Kahfi Mother, it is not that easy to open your heart to those we do not love sincerely, especially just to make someone happy" said Kahfi slowly apologizing to Mother Andara.

"Try to think back, Kahfi think carefully Mother's request. Mother does not ask for this moment, at least with a good attitude and attention to Rara that has made Rara happy," said Mother Andara.

Ayumi smiles at the answer from Kahfi, like there is pleasure in the heart, but there is a sense of tightness when hearing Mother Andara's request to Kahfi to be able to accept and return Rara's love for Rara's happiness. His smile that was originally published now dimmed back because of annoyance.

Ayumi was only silent in front of the terrace of Mother Andara's house. Knock on the door of Mother Andara's house loudly and say hello.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Mother Andara?" said Ayumi in a loud voice to be heard to get inside the house.

"Waalaikumsalam.." cried Mother Andara reply to Ayumi greeting from the front of the house.

Mother Andara opened the main door of the house and smiled when she saw Ayumi was standing before her.

"Mother .." said Ayumi slowly then kissed the back of Mother Andara's hand with respect and hugged Mother Andara.

"Mother's beloved Ayumi," said Mother Andara slowly while replying to Ayumi's embrace with affection.

From inside the small room, Kahfi stared at the look on Ayumi's face that looked exhausted and sad.

Ayumi entered the house of Mother Andara, her eyes were immediately fixed on Kahfi who was also looking at her with a sad face.

"Mother enter first, sit first Ayumi," said Mother Andara slowly.

Ayumi sat on a wooden chair with a small pillow as her backrest. The plastic bag containing the hand was placed on the table in front of him.

All the movements of Ayumi's gerik can not be separated from the view of Kahfi who has since observed it carefully.

The two were silent as if they did not know each other. Kahfi seemed to think looking for a fitting chat.

"What's up, Ay?" ask Kahfi slowly. A question that seems unquestionable, even if it is just a stale base.

"Public figure Kak," Ayumi replied softly without turning her head and without looking at Kahfi who was sitting next to her.

"Eat already?" ask Kahfi back to Ayumi.

"Had eaten with Mommy Icha" Ayumi answered briefly to Kahfi.

"After this Brother wants to talk to you Ay. There is something very important that you have to convey," said Kahfi slowly with a face that looks calm.

"Yes Brother. Ayumi entered first, wanted to meet Rara," Ayumi said slowly to Kahfi. Ayumi deliberately did not want to give a gap to Kahfi to be able to continue with Ayumi even though she was just talking. Ayumi had to limit herself, because Ayumi was indirectly close to Afnan, Kahfi's older brother.

Ayumi went inside to Mother Andara's bedroom. There is Rara who is still drooping limp leaning on the back of the bed.

There was Zura who was accompanying and feeding Rara. His face looks pale and limp. His right hand was still wrapped in a white bandage that had turned red.

Rara looked at Ayumi who was standing in the doorway then waved her hand to immediately go inside.

"Where's Zura going?" ask Ayumi slowly.

"Ayumi, Big Brother wants to settle this first," Zura replied slowly and passed away going outside the room.

To be honest Zura was still disappointed and put the heartache on Ayumi, because of Afnan. But, Zura values Rara as Ayumi's best friend. Rara told me a lot about Ayumi who was kind and helped her a lot.

"Ra, how are you?" ask Ayumi slowly to Rara.

Both of her eyes looked at Rara's soft eyeballs.

"I've been better, Ay." replied Rara slowly.

"I'm sorry I just got here, Ra. Bantuin Bunda Icha made a cake," said Ayumi slowly.

Rara smiled knot.

"Cie Ay, who has a mother-in-law now," said Rara slowly.

"It's still not a full candidate yet" Ayumi replied briefly.

"That's the same, Ay. I hope to be a part of Mother Icha's family, to be her favorite daughter-in-law like you, Ay," said Rara slowly, her face softly staring at Ayumi.

Kahfi, who had been following Ayumi, stood beside the door of the room where Rara was, listening to the two girls talk.

"You love Kahfi?" ask Ayumi slowly.

"Very love Ay, help me to be close to Kak Kahfi," said Rara slowly and softly.

"I'll help you, Ra," said Ayumi.

"Thank you for being such a good friend, and thank you for making that special sponge for me, Ay," Rara said.

"When you're tired, rest Ra. I can't stay for long, Grandma is alone at home" Ayumi reasoned.

For some reason, every time Rara tells Kahfi, there is a feeling of tightness in Ayumi's chest that makes Ayumi feel uncomfortable.

'What the hell happened to me, every close or talk about Kak Kahfi, my heart is tight and painful, ' Ayumi's inner heart.

"Would you like to go home, Ay?" ask Rara briefly.

Ayumi nodded her head slowly.

"Yes Ra," Ayumi answered briefly.

"Go home Ay, tomorrow I go, you come, Ay. So invite Mother Icha let me go on a trip. Tomorrow I must be healthy, I just need enough rest" Rara explained.

"Promise to be healthy, tomorrow I will accompany you with Mother Icha," said Ayumi excitedly.

It was great to make his best friend happy. Although the fact is there are many people who are actually hurt because of this.

Ayumi said goodbye to Mother Andara and Sister Zura. Likewise with Kahfi who took part in saying goodbye to go home.

Tomorrow morning they will return again and take Rara to her new school in another city.
