The Moon Among the Stars

64

Everyone stared at the two beautiful girls and felt their sadness. Mother Icha approached the two and hugged the two tightly, her two favorite sons-in-law who will accompany the days of her two sons until the end of her life.

Every parent always wants a good daughter-in-law. Today's life is not good enough to be made a demand without there is a level of faith that is equivalent to sincerity and patience.

"Mother.." said Rara softly.

"Yes Ra," replied the Mother hugging tightly the limp body of Rara gently.

"Thank you Mother has come here, Rara is very happy," said Rara slowly.

"There's no need to thank Ra, it's all Rara's destiny line. Mother and Father only participate in supporting and blessing what is desired by Mother's beloved youngest son," said Mother slowly explained.

Ayumi looked at the two women of different ages, Mommy Icha is the figure of the mother's replacement who has been very supportive of Ayumi's activities of course with all the advice and affection that is so sincere for Ayumi, who is very supportive of Ayumi's activities, while Rara is the first friend owned by Ayumi when moving to this city, although there has been a misunderstanding between them, but everything can be overcome well of course with a cold head.

"You are the chosen women, who will be the Heavenly Angel of the two sons of Mother. Because you are the woman of choice then give the best for the children of Mother later," said Mother Icha with a soft advice.

Ayumi looked at Mommy Icha with a sad face and hugged the middle-aged body tightly with affection. Mother Icha is very similar to Mother Alisha, from her temperament, dress, affection, and that always makes Ayumi feel that Mother Alisha is still there and very close to her.

Both of Ayumi's eyes were wet, her eyes were slightly winked, the tears were definitely pouring down her cheeks. The embrace of affection between Ayumi and Mother Icha looks very friendly, occasionally Ayumi seeks comfort in the niche of the neck of Mother Icha covered by her hijab.

"We will be Ay's brothers" said Rara softly.

His body still feels weak once there is no power and effort to live life. Only Kahfi can keep Rara motivated in life.

"We will be Mother's favorite daughters, and we will both be Ra's brothers" Ayumi said.

Sometime later, when Kyai Toha, Pak Sukoco and Kahfi were talking on the sofa in the room, there was a knock on the door and the door opened wide. There were two different-aged female figures who entered the room while carrying several large bags and white plastic bags.

"Anna!" call Mr. Sukoco slowly to a woman who is none other than the new wife of Mr. Sukoco.

Anna and her son approached Mr. Sukoco and the two important guests. Moon is Anna's only daughter with her former husband who has left Anna for the place of immortality.

During this time Anna worked for Mr. Sukoco as her trust staff. Since the turmoil and problems in Pak Sukoco's small family that ended in separation, Mr. Sukoco ventured to propose Anna.

Anna is a strong and independent woman. Working as a staff to support her daughter to pursue her goals as a dentist.

"Kahfi? Kyai Toha?" say the Moon slowly.

"Do you know my son?" ask Mr. Sukoco slowly to his stepson Moon.

"So the Moon hitchhiked in her car with Ayumi" replied the Moon briefly.

Anna and Moon greeted the two middle-aged men respectfully, and to Kahfi, Moon only cupped her hands together in front of her chest.

Kahfi just nodded slowly towards the Moon.

"The month?!" call Ayumi who is on the side of the hospital bed where Rara is lying weak.

The moon turned to the direction of the sound and walked towards the bed.

"Rara, meet my best friend in Al Azhar. The moon is smart and smart like you, Ra," said Ayumi introduced the Moon with enthusiasm

Rara just smiled broadly revealing her neat row of white teeth. His hand held Ayumi's hand, Rara's warm feeling channeled through the hand.

Ayumi turned her head towards Rara, and returning that smile was like asking for an explanation of the meaning of Rara's smile.

"That month Rara's half-brother, Ay, Mama Anna's son," said Rara Lirih staring at the Moon and Ayumi alternately.

Mama Anna walked towards Rara's bed and approached her stepson, rubbed Rara's hair and kissed Rara's forehead affectionately.

"Sorry old Mama Ra, this is the order Rara has Mama bought," said Mama Anna half whispered near Rara's face.

Rara nodded her head slowly and smiled.

"Thank you Ma" Rara replied politely.

"Dear, baby" replied Mama Anna slowly.

"Mother Icha?" mama Anna asked with a smile and greeted her iron candidate.

"That's right, I'm Icha Mother Kahfi, Rara's future husband," said Mother Icha slowly explained.

"Alhamdulillah, would you be happy Ra?" mama Anna told Rara.

"It's a pleasure Ma, thank you for the motivation Rara so far, even though Rara has never been close to Mama," said Rara briefly.

Rara has been living in her new school dormitory for three months. Almost once a week Mr. Sukoco and Mama Anna visit Rara, because Mr. Sukoco knows exactly the condition of Rara his son was very weak.

Finally, his control with his personal doctor and laboratory results have determined that the brain cancer suffered by Rara has entered the early stage four. Only a miracle can heal him, everything is given to Allah SWT the Giver of Life.

Mr. Sukoco deliberately chose the city of Solo to build his new business assisted by Anna, his personal assistant who has now officially become his wife.

In addition to looking for a new atmosphere, Mr. Sukoco wants to be close to Rara. It was enough that her family's problems made a burden on Rara. Mr. Sukoco just doesn't want Rara to feel lonely and alone.

"Thank you, Mother Icha has agreed to the relationship between Kahfi and Rara" said Mama Anna slowly.

"We as parents only support and approve the rest of it is the right of our children," said Mother Icha slowly.

Kahfi stared at Rara and Ayumi from a distance in turn. Rara who was still leaning on the pile of pillows and Ayumi sat next to Rara while hugging from the side.

Both of them looked familiar and very friendly, Kahfi looked at her puja girl wistfully, 'Until when can I just stare at you like this without being able to have you completely Ay, ' Kahfi's inner self in her heart.

At first glance he looked at the pale and weak looking Rara, who would soon be proposed to and probably would not be his legal wife for long.

'Can I live it all without affection and love, only family coercion and pity, ' Kahfi's inner self in his heart.

That gaze was avenged by Rara's gaze and smiled sweetly towards Kahfi who had been staring at Rara ever since.
