The Moon Among the Stars

Ayumi was already in the Al-Azhar Pesantren Cottage. After delivering Ayumi, Kahfi immediately turned back the direction of the car and returned home to Grandma Arsy's house to pick up her Mother.

Throughout the journey, Ayumi always whines so that Kahfi can accept Rara wholeheartedly and sincerely. In a little while, Abang Afnan and Ayumi will also be engaged to clarify their status.

A clear recall in Kahfi's memory when Ayumi said 'Ayumi will also be engaged to Kak Afnan, ' Kahfi said in her heart.

Several times Kahfi hit the steering wheel hard. It felt very upset and disappointed, although from the beginning Kahfi was difficult to know Ayumi only loved Afnan who was none other than her own biological brother. But hearing the news of the engagement will be held that makes Kahfi feel a deep disappointment.

Driving his car is no problem, faltering on a busy highway and crowded with motorized vehicles. Kahfi drove very fast and overtook from left and right like a reliable driver in a formula one match.

Kahfi's car has entered the courtyard of Grandma Arsy's house which will soon be used as a Shelter House for orphans who do not have a house.

The nameplate of Rumah Singgah Arsy has been installed with calligraphy directly engraved from Kyai Toha's hand. Granny Arsy's house has been slightly renovated on the front and side of the house which still looks there is land in magic in such a way as an open space for children to learn and play.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mother," call Kahfi from the terrace with a greeting.

"Waalaikumsalam, enter Fi, Mother has a guest," said Mother Icha half yelling.

Kahfi went inside, Mommy was talking to two women who were already aged, maybe his age had reached half a century.

"Fi, sit here, introduce this Bu Siti and Bu Sri, those who will take care of this Shelter House and take care of some orphans who will live here" said Mother Icha slowly explained.

Kahfi complied and sat down next to Mother Icha. His right hand stretched out and greeted the two half-century-old women.

"Greetings to Bu Siti and Bu Sri who will take care of and care for this Halfway House," said Kahfi slowly.

"Greetings to Mas Kahfi, we both happen to still work at the Mandiri Orphanage, and Mr. Kyai Toha offers the Arsy Halfway House as a decent place for orphans who want to study religion and go to school, we were both moved to participate in the social activities carried out by Mr. Kyai Toha. We will both try to advance this Arsy Shelter House to teach the foundation of religion to orphans who have some obstacles in their lives" said Bu Situ explained in detail.

Mother Icha and Kahfi listened and listened to Ms Siti's explanation with enthusiasm.

"Alright Bu Siti and Bu Sri can look around this place, then make a list of equipment, equipment and what ingredients are needed, both to improve children's learning, food needs, and so on, and the need for everyday in the household," said Mother Icha minutes.

"Well Mother, we're going around this place, because there will be ten orphans who will live here and all of them are orphans without relatives and three of them with special needs," said Bu Sri explained to Mother Icha and Kahfi.

"Fi, Mother's tonight stay first, until the orphans are here, maybe tomorrow afternoon Mother just returned home. Today Mommy wants to help first in the Shelter House," said Mother Icha explained.

It was late, Bu Siti and Bu Sri were buying some of the necessities of the Shelter House, and Pak Kyai Toha and his friend were picking up ten orphans to stay at the Shelter House.

Mommy Icha helps cook some food to serve as dinner. Cooking in large portions and lots, because soon this house will be crowded with children of various ages.

Kahfi accompanied Mother Icha in the kitchen and helped taste some cooked food.

"Fi, it's fried tempeh flour do not just cemilin, for others also not even run out the same as ourselves," said Mother Icha who still fry omelet as a dinner friend later.

Kahfi continued to chew on the flour until some of the fruit had gone into his stomach, ignoring the words of his mother who advised him many times since.

Mother Icha turned her body and ruffled her waist in annoyance to her youngest son who still continued to chew regardless of the flour fried tempeh on the plate was only a few pieces left.

"Kahfi!!" shouted Mother Icha annoyed.

Kahfi only looked at Mother Icha who was in front of him with a smile without any guilt.

"Astagfirullah, Mother's child this one is really difficult to tell," said Mother Icha upset and drained the omelet that has been cooked on a large plate.

"Fry again Mother, do not bother," said Kahfi slowly and then left the kitchen after sipping water in a large glass until it runs out unscathed.

His stomach was already full not because he ate rice but only ate warm flour fried tempeh that was second to none. Kahfi sat on the front porch of the house while playing her mobile phone.

Ting ...

One message notification from the chat app goes to her phone screen and displays Rara's name there. Kahfi opened the message and read the message from Rara.

"Assalamu'alaikum, my future imam candidate, Rara understands that you accept Rara not because of the personality Rara has, but you only feel sorry for Rara, pity because Rara has a serious illness and maybe Rara's age will not be long. But Rara still wants to live, still wants to be healed, and still wants to reach Rara's ideals to become an analyst. Rara only needs the support and motivation of Brother to always give the spirit of life, the spirit of work and the spirit of pursuing the ideals for Rara. It feels very happy to hear Rara will be proposed by Kak Kahfi, let alone immediately engaged, it feels like the passion of Rara's life began to exist to continue this life, but when Rara knew the heart, Rara knew the heart, brother's loving thoughts and gaze are only poured out for one girl, Ayumi. Sometimes life becomes unfair, when Rara hopes for someone who turns out not to expect Rara to be the most important part of her life. Rara will always keep this secret until anytime, for Rara can get the body of Brother alone has become her own happiness for Rara, even though the heart of Brother will only be given to others, another girl who was the choice of Brother. Thank you for accepting Rara's whole body and not Brother's heart, Rara will only try to be the best for Brother and hope that one day the heart can be owned by itself. Healthy continues Brother always in the protection of Allah SWT. Wassalam."
