The Moon Among the Stars

63

Along the way Ayumi complained dizzy. His head turned great. Mother Icha told Ayumi to rest maybe because of fatigue.

Ayumi complied and closed her eyes, her head resting on the shoulder of Mother Icha. Both of her hands tightly hugged the waist of Mother Icha with affection.

The journey to Solo city in about an hour will arrive. Kahfi looked for a rather quiet road and delivered the Moon to the Solo terminal.

Ayumi was still asleep in the arms of Mother Icha. Every now and then Kahfi looked at her beloved girl to make sure she was okay through the rearview mirror. The loving gaze was always caught off guard by the Moon who had been following Kahfi's movements that looked uncomfortable.

"Month, where are you going down?" ask Kahfi slowly. Kahfi realized that he had been stared at by the Moon.

"In front of Kak terminal, there is a post, there is Moon down Kak," said Moon slowly while pointing to the direction where the Moon will go down.

Kahfi turned his car towards a smaller road to turn the road to get to the post indicated by the Moon.

"that's right? On the highway?" ask Kahfi slowly.

"Betul Kak, yes there," replied the Moon briefly.

Kahfi immediately crossed the street and stopped right beside the post.

The moon rubbed Ayumi's head wrapped in a black hijab slowly. Looking at the beautiful face of Ayumi who looks exhausted.

"Let Ayumi sleep Mother, just close the greetings to Ayumi. Moon farewell, thank you for hitching a ride, assalamu'alaikum," Moon said politely and then got out of the car and waved his hand from outside.

"Waalaikumsalam," answered Kahfi and Mommy Icha simultaneously, while Kyai Toha just nodded slowly and answered the greeting in his heart.

Kahfi's car sped quickly towards the hospital, where Rara was being treated. It's been a week Rara, lying weak in the hospital, her request just wants to marry Kahfi.

Rara's request was immediately conveyed by Mr. Sukoco who came directly to the house of his best friend Kyai Toha, to convey his good intentions.

Kahfi was the one who was the most against this event. How can you live something without love, let alone liking, also does not exist.

Kahfi just exhaled loudly. The sound of the breath actually sounded heavy and annoyed.

"Fi" call Mother Icha very gently.

"Yes Mother" answered Kahfi.

"Still angry with Mother?" ask Mommy then while looking at her youngest son from behind.

Ayumi had just woken up because of a crowded voice, but she was reluctant to enforce her seat and closed her eyes again and listened and listened to the talk of the Kahfi family.

"Fi, not angry Mother, just disappointed," replied Kahfi slowly.

"Kahfi, this might be best for you. There is nothing wrong with getting married young" Kyai Toha explained.

Kahfi just nodded slowly and respectfully. For Kahfi, there was no point in arguing with his parents, everything was prepared, so it was impossible to just cancel, it was tantamount to humiliating his own family.

"There is still time, if you want to be canceled," said Mother Icha lirih.

Kahfi only fell silent staring at the streets that began to creep.

"No need Mother. Let Kahfi live it all, when Kahfi is not strong enough to survive, then forgive Kahfi," replied Kahfi wisely.

"Good, that's a wise answer. Go first, because there is a process" Kyai Toha said slowly and gave her thumbs up to Kahfi.

"Consequences with your words Fi. Do not make us embarrassed later," said Mother Icha advising.

The car still drove very slowly, like it was looking for an address.

"That's the hospital, right, Kasih Ibu Hospital" Kyai Toha said loudly and spelled the name of the hospital carefully.

"Oh that's right, Come Fi," said Mother Icha slowly mint her youngest son.

Kahfi's car turned around and went straight into the parking lot of Kasih Ibu hospital. Mother Icha rubbed Ayumi's head slowly to wake up from her sleep.

Ayumi's two eyes opened slowly as if she had just woken up from her deep sleep.

"Mother's daughter is awake?" said Mother slowly.

"Mother, have you arrived? This where?" ask Ayumi slowly to Mother Icha.

"We are in the hospital Ay," said Mother Icha slowly while tidying up her hijab.

The car had stopped and parked near the garden of Kasih Ibu hospital building. Kahfi tidied up his batik clothes and saw his hairdo on the middle spy. His fingers were tidying up the slightly messy looking hair.

Kyai Toha has got out of the car, followed by Mother Icha who has been standing next to the car while tidying up her robe. Ayumi got out of the car in a makeshift outfit with an instant hijab without the slightest make up.

Kahfi opened the trunk behind the car and picked up some items that would be given to Rara as a sign of having proposed to the girl.

"Fi, ring?" ask Mother Icha slowly.

"Had Mother," said Kahfi lirih.

At first glance he looked towards Ayumi who had been looking at him coldly since.

"Come on, we go inside, in the VIP room," Kyai Toha said quietly.

All goes behind Kyai Toha with some luggage for Rara.

Ayumi just silently walked by Mother Icha's side. Kahfi walked in the back.

The VIP room is on the second floor of the building. Diamond VIP room, that's the name of the room used by Rara during her treatment there.

Since taking Rara to her new school, Kahfi has never seen her again.

The room was wide open, there was only Rara who was lying weak and Mr. Sukoco who faithfully accompanied the youngest Princess.

Mother Andara and Zura could not attend because Mother Andara was sick, while Zura was out of town for work.

Ayumi went inside looking kindly at Rara who was smiling widely at her. Rara sat leaning against a pile of pillows arranged high to feel comfortable while sitting.

"How are you, Ra?" ayumi asked gently while holding her best friend's hand.

"Look Ay, I'm fine. I'm happy Ay," said Rara weakly.

"Ayumi knows it's Ra, your eyes can't lie. You are indeed happy and deserve to be happy," said Ayumi slowly and then hugged her best friend tightly lovingly.

The two cried happily, they had not met for almost three months, and were found in a bad state.

"Don't cry Ay, Rara is not crying," said Rara wipe the tears of Ayumi who had dripped on her cheeks.

"Ayumi is happy, Ra. Ayumi can only pray for the best for Rara and Rara's happiness and recovery" said Ayumi slowly.
