The Moon Among the Stars

51

Sunlight has begun to lead to the western horizon. The voice of the Adhan was already loud when Ayumi and Kahfi were still on their way home.

The call of Allah SWT is more important than anything else. As Muslims are obliged to carry out their obligations to perform mandatory prayers on time, without delaying the time of mandatory prayer as long as there is still time and can be done, there is no reason whatsoever.

Without Ayumi's consent, Kahfi turned his large motorbike towards the small mosque that had passed during the return journey. His favorite big motorbike has stopped and parked in the place that has been provided.

Ayumi was only speechless and did not respond as long as what Kahfi did was for good and a positive thing, no need to comment.

While removing his full face helmet, Kahfi's handsome face looks perfect, the dimple line printed clearly between his cheeks adds to the good looks of the man standing in front of Ayumi.

Ayumi looked at Kahfi without blinking. Only now were they so close and fixed on each other.

"Why Ay, handsome brother huh?" ask Kahfi quietly with a high level of confidence.

"Hem, handsome," Ayumi replied softly by turning both her eyes lazily.

Ayumi was amazed and had time to make up for herself, 'Which wisdom you deny Ay, this handsome creature that is in front of you.'

There was a different feeling when staring at Kahfi at this moment. Ayumi's heart rippled violently as she watched Kahfi's junkyard move adding to the masculinity of the man she was currently dealing with.

"Alhamdulillah, it has been admitted that handsome, just waiting to be admitted as a prospective halal lover," said Kahfi casually then remove his levis jacket and placed on his big motorcycle.

Ayumi heard and listened to Kahfi's words, then shook her head quickly.

"What's not talking about? Like to digress," said Ayumi slowly and then leave Kahfi to immediately ablaze and perform congregational ashar prayers in the mosque.

Not yet, Kahfi answered Ayumi's words. Ayumi has left Kahfi, which is still in the motorcycle parking lot of the mosque. Kahfi walked while staring at the back of Ayumi who was walking a few meters in front of him.

Half an hour they perform the obligatory prayers. Kahfi went out first and waited for Ayumi at the waiting area near the parking lot.

Ayumi was still sitting on her tongue, her eyes looking straight ahead. His hands were still up while praying. His lips twitched, but no sound was spoken. Sometimes his eyes blinked for a moment.

'Let this heart be faithful and keep this love intact until the time comes. Do not let these feelings turn into lust and obsession but make this love and affection a form of love of Your servant to Allah SWT the creator, ' the inner Ayumi in the heart.

Ayumi folded her face and cleared it to its original place, then moved from her place and walked outside the mosque. His gaze towards the motor park, Kahfi's big motorbike was still there.

Ayumi's gaze circulated into all the space, from left to right no one passed while slowly descending the stairs.

From a distance Kahfi waved his hand to approach him who was sitting casually in the park near the mosque. Many food vendors there, the garden is neat and clean so that it makes visitors comfortable.

Ayumi quickly went down the stairs and approached Kahfi who was already sitting on the white iron chair. There were some small meals and drinks he had bought while staring at the fountain not far from his seat.

The sound of small children shouting and running around adds to the atmosphere becoming warmer and boisterous.

Ayumi was already standing behind the garden chair while Kahfi was still focused on staring at the fountain that looked cool in the eyes. Without turning his head, Kahfi was already very memorized by the fragrance of Ayumi, it was a sign that her girl was already present nearby.

"Sit down Ay, near Brother, aren't you tired of standing around the back?" ask Kahfi slowly. His eyes stay ahead.

Ayumi circled the park chair and sat right next to Kahfi and stared ahead at what Kahfi saw.

Kahfi's views now turn to his girl. Staring at the two eyes of the girl.

Ayumi returned the gaze, there was an overwhelming tremor stirring in her heart as she looked at those eyes, the same eyes, which often appeared when offering prayers and supplications on her night. 'What does all this mean, ' asked 'Ayumi in her heart.

Ayumi directly lowered her head and spoke as much Istighfar as possible in her heart.

"Eat this your favorite snack" said Kahfi gave a plastic containing mangrove chicken taste.

Ayumi saw the package smell a distinctive fragrance from mangroves. His heart smiled happily. 'I am why, being noticed like this is just like different tastes, and from where Kak Kahfi can know my favorite food, ' his mind wondered.

"Already, eat, no need prestige and shame with Brother. There is no need to wonder where you know anything about you" Kahfi explained.

Ayumi turned to Kahfi and smiled, because Kahfi knew very well what Ayumi was thinking.

Without shame, Ayumi began to eat and chew the chicken mangrove with pleasure.

"Enak right?" kahfi asked quietly while glancing at the girl.

Ayumi glanced and smiled as she nodded her head slowly agreeing with Kahfi's words.

"Aren't you eating?" ayumi asked who had just realized that she was eating alone, but there were some food that had been bought by Kahfi, but Kahfi did not touch the food.

Kahfi simply stared at the fountain and remained silent not answering Ayumi's question. His soul and body and heart are now like that fountain, having high hopes and dreams but falling back when his heart is empty again because of uncertain expectations.

Ayumk chewed the food in his mouth slowly and swallowed it. Her beautiful face looked at Kahfi's face from the side.

It is so perfect his creation. Looking at his eyes, his eyebrows, his eyelashes, his nose, his lips, his dimples and everything looked so perfect, there was not a single scratch of error.

"A satisfied looking at him? Mumpung is not married so it is not adultery eyes, but girls who are sholehah it would be nice not to look at men like that," said Kahfi firmly.

It was like being slapped, Kahfi said that. Ayumi immediately turned her face to look at the fountain again. The food was immediately chewed to the end.

"Ay," call Kahfi softly.

"Yes Brother," replied Ayumi softly. His gaze could not be separated on a small child who was peddling something near the fountain.

"Look at the fountain, so beautiful and so cold in view. The fountain is like you Ay," said Kahfi slowly.

"Ayumi look, sister, it's so beautiful. But why be like Ayumi?" ayumi asked quietly and confused.

"Every time Big Brother sees you, it's like you want more than just friends, more than brothers and sisters and more than just someone who loves. But when Big Brother's hope is at the top, Brother's heart must accept the bitter reality, that you are the girl that my brother will completely have, he is Afnan Putra Al Toha, he is, Abang Kahfi Al Kautsar" said Kahfi. Both of his eyes closed and took a deep breath and exhaled very slowly.

Ayumi listened well and carefully to every word of Kahfi's speech nothing was missed. There was pain when Kahfi said it all. Her honesty and sincerity are so obvious and feel pierced into the body of Ayumi.

"Why should Ayumi? There is Rara who is always waiting for Brother," said Ayumi slowly.

"Never say that name again, Ay. Brother only sincerely loves you, no matter what happens and until whenever the love remains pure and holy for you Ayumi, only for you," said Kahfi lirih.

"There's Rara, Sister Fi. Accept Rara in Kak Fi's heart, forget Ayumi, Sis," Ayumi said in a pleading tone.

"Sister can't get rid of your name that you've often said in one third of the night Brother. Rara is just a sister, no more than that, Ay," said Kahfi slowly.

"Don't hurt Rara, sister. Ayumi please," said Ayumi pleading.

"For your sake Ayumi, Brother will take care of Rara, Brother will make Rara happy, Brother will not hurt Rara, all Sister do for your sake Ayumi, just for your sake," said Kahfi.

"Don't for Ayumi, sister. You know, Ayumi already loves Kak Afnan," said Ayumi slowly explained.

Kahfi only smiled bitterly, and set both his lips, it felt like he wanted to shout and introduce to the world, this girl beside him was his.

"Abang Afghan? That's the man who managed to snatch your heart because of your past? It can all be done to anyone if there is a chance," said Kahfi firmly.

"But it's not a coincidence that all of our lifelines have been reunited and our hearts are united in love" Ayumi said.

"Quite Ayumi, why in your mind there are only the names of Abang, Abang and Abang Afnan! Don't you appreciate the feeling of Brother just a little, if we are together at this time, appreciate Brother who also loves you, Ay," said Kahfi staring at Ayumi's face with sadness.
