The Moon Among the Stars

55

The Kahfi family's sports car has split open a still-deserted highway this morning. There was already Rara sitting next to Kahfi, while Bunda Icha and Ayumi were sitting in the back seat.

The latest saloon car, which is devoted to Kahfi as a birthday gift as well as a graduation gift for 17 Qur'an shipping juz.

Kyai Toha, Mr. Kahfi is very proud of his son Kahfi's achievements. After the events of a few years that made Kahfi fall and slump now look excited and continue to be motivated to do positive and good things.

Kahfi plays the songs in his playlist. The songs played by Kahfi are religious songs.

Rara sat down sweetly silent looking straight ahead at the highway she was walking through.

Mother Icha who was sitting behind Rara was busy communicating with Kyai Toha, her husband, while Ayumi was staring out through the side window.

Kahfi looked at Ayumi's face through the middle rearview mirror, his eyes constantly staring at the girl of his tribe who was sitting right behind him.

"Focus the road, Fi," said Mother Icha staring at Kahfi from the back side.

Not that he did not know and instead let his youngest son look at the girl of his clan who will be owned by his own brother, but Mother Icha is more tolerant which is important to still be able to appreciate each other.

Love is a gift from Allah SWT, which we cannot deny to whom it will be seen.

Kahfi looked at her mother from the middle rearview mirror. Mother Icha also looked at Kahfi through the middle rearview mirror and smiled.

"Yes Mother" replied Kahfi slowly.

Ayumi remained silent and ignored what Mother Icha had said to Kahfi.

"Ay, bring no drink?" rara asked slowly looking back where Ayumi was sitting.

"There's Ra, but only mineral water, will you?" ask Ayumi slowly to Rara.

Ayumi reached into the large bag that was near her feet to grab a bottle of mineral water for Rara.

"Mau Ay," answered Rara softly as if enduring the pain.His wrist was still bandaged and had not healed.

"This is Ra, want a snack? I got pastels, stuffed vegetables and eggs, would you?" ask Ayumi slowly to Rara.

"By Ay, I have not had breakfast, I have eaten porridge, but I have to eat porridge" said Rara slowly.

Ayumi opened the big bag to pick up a big box of vegetable pastel fill that Ayumi made from finished shubuh.

"Mother, taste Ayumi's. Kahfi's sister wants to?" ask Ayumi softly.

"Well, the color of the fried food is beautiful" said Mother Icha praise and take one pastel fried and eat it.

"You Ay, where?" answer Kahfi slowly. Saty had her hand back to receive the pastel from Ayumi's hand.

Ayumi brought a pastel for Kahfi.

"Where is Ay?" ask Rara to Ayumi.

Ayumi thrust out one of the boxes for Rara to take her own.

"Such son Ay, added donk," said Kahfi who was still chewing pastels with his mouth full.

"It's Brother. Laper what doyan?" ayumi asked with a chuckle, while giving another pastel to Kahfi.

"Well, it's crunchy, how's it going?" ask Mother Icha slowly to Ayumi.

"Where is Mother, usually the important oil closes all the dough," said Ayumi slowly.

"Don't forget, the day after we go to Semarang for the Mother's school alumni friendship event," said Bunda Icha slowly and then take one more pastel.

"Ready Mother dear," Ayumi replied with a smile.

Kahfi who listened to the conversation of her two favorite women smiled as well.

"Where's Mama Icha going? Kahfi's coming? Ayumi's coming too?" ask Rara with enthusiasm.

Kahfi turned towards Rara and stared intently at Rara's two eyes.

"Why Brother? Is it wrong, Rara asked like that?" rara asked back then looked at Kahfi with a piercing look.

"Sister didn't say wrong, but why do you ask that, who are you?" kahfi said with a firm tone.

"Kahl!" sela Bunda loudly while staring at Kahfi sharply.

Kahfi heard her mother's voice instantly speechless and finished her remaining food.

Ayumi saw Mother Icha who looked upset still staring intently at Kahfi from behind.

"Ay, want some donk water?" kahfi asked for help.

Ayumi immediately took a bottle of mineral water from her big bag and gave it to Kahfi.

The cool air tends to cool from the car AC making Kahfi's body feel hot. His frustration towards Rara who always meddles with Kahfi's personal and family affairs.

Kahfi gulped down the mineral water and placed the empty bottle on the side of the door where Kahfi was driving.

"Mother Icha, is Rara wrong? Asking like that?" ask Rara to Bunda Icha slowly.

Mother Icha was surprised to hear Rara's question and then looked at Rara from behind.

"No Rara dear, not wrong," replied Mother Icha briefly.

"Then why is Kahfi angry?" ask Rara slowly to Mother Icha.

"Maybe Kahfi is tired" said Mother Icha while chuckling softly.

Ayumi who listened also chuckled softly while looking at Mother Icha.

Kahfi only fell silent glancing sharply at Rara and stared dejectedly at Mother Icha through the middle spy.

"Ra, there is Mommy Icha, ask Restu donk," said Ayumi softly as she turned to Rara's arm sitting in front.

Rara turned her head towards Ayumi and glanced towards Kahfi who looked cold and indifferent.

Hearts and feelings cannot be forced. If the heart is attached to one heart, it will forever be faithful until disappointed or hurt.

"Mother's may be?" rara asked quietly and turned her body towards the back.

Mother Icha smiled looking at Rara and Ayumi in turn.

"If your children have chosen you two, then what can Mother? If it doesn't approve, right, Fi?" said Mother Icha to Kahfi who did not discuss her mother's question.

"Kahl!" call Mother Icha to Kahfi half-screaming.

Kahfi just turned his head for a while while smiling wryly sign of dislike with the words of the Mother.

"Are you two already together?" ask Mother Icha to Rara slowly.

Rara only glanced at Kahfi, but Kahfi looked at Ayumi who was just staring at the window glass outside the car.

"You guys are suitable, you know," said Mommy slowly.

"Suit where the Mother is. If you meet me already like a team and Jerry," said Kahfi very upset.

The sports car is traveling at a moderate speed. It feels like Kahfi wants to press the gas deeply so that his sense of regret is lost by raising the adreline while driving.

"Well Mother? Does it really suit us both?" asked Rara with happiness.

Mother Icha nodded slowly.

"Well, Ay, they both fit right?" ask Mother to Ayumi slowly.

"It's very suitable, shoot Kak Fi donk, mumpung no Mommy," said Ayumi who mengkeruh atmosphere.
