The Moon Among the Stars

Rara had tidied up her clothes in the closet that had been provided. Ayumi helps make Rara's bed. Mother Icha and Kahfi saw the situation around who were still quiet and not many new students who came.

This dormitory is devoted to new students who come from outside the city, so as not to have difficulty finding a place to live or boarding for those who do not have families.

One room will only be used for five new students with bed facilities, bathroom inside, there is a small kitchen and there is a terrace to dry clothes or receive guests can be visiting.

There were already three people living there, all of them new students. Rara approached some of her new friends and invited them to meet.

There's Fanny, Sita and Renata, they know each other. Ayumi met them.

"Ra, fine here, already have a friend too," said Ayumi slowly.

Ayumi sat on the edge of Rara's bed, and looked at Rara who was still focused on cleaning her closet and study table.

"Yes Ay, Rara will fight for the better and graduate with good grades. We both fight Ay to be successful and successful," said Rara slowly while putting a picture frame.

"This is a photo of Mother Andara and Sister Zura?" said Ayumi slowly staring at the picture frame there.

"Yes Ay, and this is a picture of Kak Kahfi, only he makes me survive Ay," said Rara slowly staring at the face of Ayumi.

Ayumi smiled sweetly and hugged Rara from behind.

"Rara can definitely get Kak Kahfi, do your best, definitely melt really," said Ayumi slowly.

"Thank you for supporting Rara, Ay," Rara said gently and returned Ayumi's embrace.

"Ayumi pamit ya Ra, success for you. Ayumi plays here sometime," said Ayumi slowly.

"Yes Ay. Thanks for bringing Rara here, Ayumi was successful as a doctor, someday we will be together again, sorry Rara who always behaved badly to Ayumi," rara said slowly and hugged her best friend Ayumi while crying.

Rara escorted Ayumi out of the room and walked over to Mother Icha and Kahfi who were looking at the view from behind the building.

The view from behind the building is beautiful, visible rice fields that are still stretched wide with rice that has begun to turn yellow and duck.

"Mother Icha," called Ayumi softly as she waved her hand.

Mother Icha turned her head and threw a beautiful smile at Ayumi and Rara.

"Have you finished cleaning?" ask Mother Icha slowly.

"Had Mother, it was helped by Ayumi so quickly finished," replied Rara slowly.

"The way we're looking for lunch first yuk, you must be hungry?" said Mother Icha slowly.

"Kahfi there is a Mother event," sela Kahfi who looks upset since coming.

Ayumi looked at Kahfi asking for an explanation about her busyness, what event until Kahfi felt upset at this time.

"Yes, you don't have to do the same thing with Brother" said Kahfi, and left the three women behind the dormitory building.

"Mother Icha and Ayumi only eat, Rara was brought lunch, so later Rara ate lunch from Mother and from Ayum. Thanks Ayumi, have brought a lot of supplies for Rara here," said Rara slowly. Both of his eyes began to puddle and water.

In order to fight for her ideals, Rara must be far from her family which is currently being destroyed. Sometimes running away from the problem has a silver lining, it is not that we take our hands off or wash our hands with what is happening in the family or act foolishly but we are looking for the best solution that does not harm each other.

Starting today Rara must separate from Mother Andara and Kak Zura, after previously having to part with Sukoco's father who is currently experiencing severe depression. Rara must leave Ayumi her best friend, must be far from Kahfi, the person whom Rara has always loved, and must separate from Mother Icha who has been considered as a substitute for Mother Andara.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat with Mommy?" ask Mother Icha to Rara gently.

"Mother Icha is indeed the best Mother, allow Rara to be part of the Mother's family by becoming Mother's daughter-in-law," said Rara Lirih while hugging Mother Icha tightly until Rara was reluctant to let go.

The hug was very comfortable and made Rara unable to let go. A small cry with an occasional hiccup was heard softly from Rara's mouth.

"I'm sorry Rara, Mother. If Rara is wrong, Rara's request is just that" said Rara softly.

"Rara dear, anyone can be your daughter-in-law including you. But Mommy can not determine the feelings of someone let alone force the will of Mother to the children Mother. Better Rara try hard to be able to take the heart of Kahfi, find the right way that makes Kahfi want to accept you as you are, by being someone who is in accordance with Kahfi's wishes. Mother can only pray and help just that, all of us return the same God SWT," said Mother Icha softly while rubbing the head of Rara wrapped in hijab with affection and tenderness.

"Thank you Mother for her advice, Rara will always remember what Mother Icha said, hopefully Rara can take the heart of Kak Kahfi," said Rara slowly.

"Mother and Ayumi go home first Ra, sometime Mother will come with Ayumi to visit you Ra," said Mother Icha slowly and release Rara's embrace.

Mother Icha and Ayumi leave Rara who will understand her dreams and ideals as an analyst. The advice of Mother Icha makes Rara motivated to live her life better and more vibrant.

Rara turned towards her dorm room with new friends.

"Assalamu'alaikum, hi all, this is a sponge cake, please taste, made by Rara's friends," said Rara slowly approached her three new friends who were busy talking on her bed.

"Waalaikumsalam, hi Ra, here join Ra," said Sita slowly.

"Here sit here Ra, may try the sponge cake," said Ranata from the direction of the bathroom.

The four of them are new students of health school, have noble aspirations as analysts to help others who want healing by knowing the disease he suffered, just like Rara who had never known, so far, what disease has gnawed him until now, why not heal.

Kahfi had been waiting for two women of different ages in his sports car.

His stomach was already hungry and rang out many times, his body limp as if helpless. His head on the steering wheel of the car occasionally closed his eyes.

The sound of the car door opened and Mother Icha entered the car in the back seat.

"Ay, sit in front of donk, Brother is not a driver," Kahfi shouted as Ayumi opened the car door beside.

"Yes Ay, accompany Kahfi in front. Mommy wants to rest later in the afternoon there is an assembly in Mushola," said Mother Icha slowly.

Ayumi turned her body and turned towards the front door of the car, then entered and sat right beside Kahfi. Seat belts were worn around his body. He leaned back and stared straight ahead without making a sound.
