The Moon Among the Stars

88

Weekend vacation with Pak Sukoco family to Bandung city. Traveling by private car, there are two cars that take part in the weekend vacation trip one car owned by Kahfi and one car owned by the Sukoco family.

In Kahfi cars there are only Kahfi, Afnan, Bunda Icha and Ayumi. While in Pak Sukoco car there are only Mama Anna, Rara and Moon.

The journey is quite long and tiring with a travel time of about twelve hours at medium speed.

"Ay, is this sure it's just a vacation? No show what is it?" ask Mother Icha slowly to Ayumi.

"There is no Mother, but Ustad Ikhsan is from Bandung, is there a Moon event?" ayumi said softly while asking herself.

"Moon?" ask Mother Icha slowly to Ayumi who still looks confused.

"Yes Mother, the Moon was planned to be worshiped by Ustad Ikhsan, her Fiqh Teacher at Ayumi school," said Ayumi slowly and calmly.

"Isn't that Ustad Ikhsan who called the Moon when Brother picked you up yesterday?" ask Afnan slowly to Ayumi.

Kahfi glanced at Ayumi through the middle rearview mirror, their eyes met each other, but did not look at each other, just staring at each other like longing.

"Of the hell?" call Afnan slowly while turning towards Ayumi who is still staring at Kahfi's face from the middle rearview mirror.

Afnan stared at Ayumi's still unblinking face staring at Kahfi, Afnan turned to Kahfi's eyes which also stared at the middle rearview mirror simultaneously. The middle rearview mirror was turned by Afnan towards him. Afnan's gaze was sharp as if he wanted to pounce on Kahfi, his own younger brother.

"Kahfi!!" said Afnan loudly.

Kahfi flinched in shock as the central rearview mirror was instantly turned towards Afnan with a high-pitched call against him.

Kahfi immediately focused on the streets without responding to Afnan, his brother.

"Ayumi, since I spoke, but you have absolutely no response or answer to my question. You why? Daydreaming?" said Afnan with a sharp look and stare at Ayumi's eyes.

Ayumi was silent and lowered, her mistake was to look at Kahfi through the middle rearview mirror, and instead of turning her face away because it was not a muhrim, but instead staring at each other lovingly and longingly.

"If you are listening, not even daydreaming" said Afnan firmly advising Ayumi.

Mother Icha looked at Afnan and Kahfi alternately, then embraced Ayumi from the side and leaned Ayumi's head on Mother Icha's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Ayumi, sister. Ayumi admitted wrong and regretted not going to repeat again" said Ayumi slowly.

Ayumi still sat leaning on Mother Icha and stabbed. Both of his eyes were wet, because of Afnan's loud voice towards him.

"Already Afnan, Ayumi did not accidentally do this," said Mother Icha mediate.

Afnan's assertive attitude that makes the impression Afnan is fierce and too hard in teaching, but actually Afnan only be wise and maintain authority in front of many people, in order to remain respected, not even in a trivial. However, sometimes Afnan misconditions where Afnan must be firm and to whom the firm attitude is used.

The journey to Bandung is relaxed and more enjoy the scenery, making Ayumi very happy. Ayumi is happy to be in the midst of good people and good families like Mother Icha family.

Twelve hours had traveled to Bandung and finally arrived safely, a long journey that thankfully smoothly without any obstacles.

This afternoon, two cars from two different extended families were parked in the courtyard of the villa that had been rented by the Sukoco Pak Family. Many decorations are pretty and look like there will be a big event in this place.

Ayumi and Bunda Icha have entered the Villa, looking amazed by the cool and unique ornaments.

Kahfi and Afnan followed behind with their big suitcases and bags and Ayumi's and Icha's.

"Ayumi, here we will sleep three in this luxurious room," called the Moon loudly to Ayumi.

Ayumi turned her head towards the origin of the voice that called her name.

"Moon?" call Ayumi slowly while running small to the Moon in front of a luxurious room.

Mother Icha remains straight ahead following the room number instructions according to the room key given. Likewise with Kahfi and Afnan who get the same room right next to the room of Mother Icha.

Ayumi and Moon had already entered the room, inside there was already Rara lying limp from exhaustion on the way.

Ayumi walked up to Rara's bed, then held onto Rara's hands tightly.

"Ra, what's sick?" ayumi asked quietly while laying down next to Rara and rubbed the sweat on Rara's forehead affectionately.

Both of Rara's eyes closed but her ears still heard Ayumi's voice whispering to her. Only a tear from the end of Rara's eyes had not yet dripped onto her cheek.

"Rara ..." call Ayumi slowly.

Rara was still silent with Maya closed. His body was extremely cold when exhausted was already like an undead.

"Rara, are you crying?" ayumi asked Rara slowly and gently removed the tear crystal.

Rara tried to open her two eyes that felt heavy because of the pain in her head that had felt very dizzy since then.

"Ra?" call Ayumi slowly.

"Let Ay rest, Rara has often been like that, and only rest can make Rara better, unless there is indeed tightness or pain in the other part," said Moon slowly explained.

Ayumi stared at the Moon and smiled wryly at the Moon.

"Moon, Rara is your half-brother and Rara is Ayumi's best friend, why are you impressed not to care about Rara" Ayumi said in a fit of annoyance.

"It doesn't matter Ay, don't misunderstand me. Rara is so, must rest a lot," said Moon slowly and remain calm.

Ayumi snapped like that to the Moon because Ayumi did not know how to help Rara. Ayumi only knows Rara is sick, and if she relapses there should be help. However, the reality is not like that, Rara disease is a serious disease that at times can recur due to fatigue and thinking too much.

Both of Rara's eyes opened slowly, poking slowly and staring softly at Ayumi. Both of Rara's hands clasped Ayumi's hands tightly.

"Well, don't panic, Rara is often like this, and Rara is still alive, Rara wants to recover so she can see Kak Fi graduation, and we can get married and have many children," rara Lirih said with a smile.

Hearing Rara's soft words and sounding very sad made Ayumi's heart cry, her heart felt crushed by a very large stone, her skin seemed to be torn apart by pain and pain. The noble ideals of Rara who wants to be a wife and wants to be the mother of their children.
