The Moon Among the Stars

Ayumi's smile continues to expand during the journey to Grandma Arsy's house. The happiness we desire has been a long time.

Same with Afnan who held his smile behind his full face helmet. His happiness is precious. The long-awaited time has yielded good results. The girl who Afnan kept her heart up to this moment had the same feeling from the same incident as well.

Allah SWT's plan is very beautiful. His destiny also makes us more convinced by the intervention of Allah SWT. If destiny is according to our wishes, we will give thanks but if otherwise we will legowo accept with sincerity and resignation.

Nothing is eternal in this world. So is our love for our fellow beings Allah SWT. Love the creature of Allah SWT because of His Creator.

Afnan's big motor has entered Grandma Arsy's house. Afnan and Ayumi got off the big motorbike, then walked towards the terrace of the house. A house that looks quiet and beautiful.

"Silver wants to see Grandma Arsy first. All farewell to Grandma Arsy." said Afnan gallantly.

"After Brother. Ayumi come in first, call Grandma Arsy. Brother just sit here." said Ayumi politely invite Afnan to come in and sit on the porch of the house.

Ayumi goes inside looking for Grandma Arsy.

"Assalamu'alaikum Nek." call Ayumi slowly.

"Waalaikumsalam Ayumi is home. Where's Nak Afnan?" ask Grandma Arsy slowly to Ayumi. Grandma Arsy was relaxing sitting on her rocking chair in the living room.

"Still in front sitting on the terrace. Want to meet Grandma he said." said Ayumi politely.

Arsy's grandmother simply nodded her head and placed the book she was reading on her favorite rocking chair.

Grandma Arsy and Ayumi walked towards the front porch of the house.

"Son Afnan, why late at night. Grandma will be anxious." said Grandma Arsy firmly and then sat in the chair right in front of Afnan.

Afnan heard Grandma Arsy's words without chiming in. His face was just stifled with guilt. It was over nine o'clock in the evening.

"Grandmother, Ayumi asked to be escorted to see the school that Ayumi wanted." said Ayumi defended herself and Afnan so as not to be exposed to Grandma Arsy's Nausea who is famous for being firm in speaking.

"Thickness you said Ayumi" said Grandma Arsy firmly.

"Yes Nek. Al Azhar High School. It's called Nek. Ayumi is interested in entering the pesantren." said Ayumi slowly explained.

Afnan looked up at Ayumi who knew about the school. Especially hearing Ayumi's intention to enter the boarding school there.

"That's so bad Afnan?" granny asked Arsy firmly to Afnan.

The purpose and purpose of Grandma Arsy's assertiveness is good. Ayumi is her favorite grandson who is growing up, so it needs high enough care so as not to be poisoned with things that are not good and negative.

"Master Nek. Afnan will help register through the achievement path at school" said Afnan politely.

"Well, if that's what happened. Grandma is only worried about Grandma's favorite granddaughter." said Grandma Arsy while holding Ayumi's waist.

"Grandmother, Ayumi is more affectionate with Grandma. Ayumi still knows Nek's limits. Ayumi knew what was good and what was not good. Brother Afnan is a good person." said Ayumi softly and praised Afnan.

"Grandma knows. Nak Afnan, Nak Kahfi is Kyai's child of course they have a good nature, but still the name of the person can also be khilaf" said Granny Arsy reminded.

"Yes Nek. Exactly right. Reminding it is necessary, it is done as a level of our vigilance against things that could have happened unexpectedly" said Afnan politely.

"Yes Nek. Afnan returns home. Sorry if there is a wrong word that is not pleasing." said Afnan respectfully and then say goodbye to Grandma Arsy.

Afnan went from sitting to say goodbye to Grandma Arsy and kissed the back of Grandma Arsy's hand with respect.

Ayumi took Afnan to the courtyard of the house.

"Sister go home first. Thank you for this evening Ayumi. Tomorrow morning, you guys pick you up and go to school together." said Afnan slowly.

"But, Kahfi liked to pick Ayumi up." said Ayumi innocently without feeling guilty.

"Kahfi has entered the Ayumi pesantren. I have no say in Ayumi." said Afnan slowly while teasing Ayumi.

Ayumi just shook her head slowly. "Ayumi doesn't know Sis. Kak Kahfi just said he wanted to go for a mondok." said Ayumi briefly considering his conversation this afternoon with Kahfi.

"Comm ... You guys are familiar." said Afnan slowly and stared fixedly at Ayumi's eyes.

Afnan just wants this girl to be his not to belong to someone else or his own biological sister. There is a feeling of unwillingness if Ayumi has to be close to Kahfi who clearly likes Ayumi.

"Akrabic? With Kahfi?" said Ayumi laughing.

Both eyes Afnan just stared more closely, what Afnan wanted was an answer not another.

"Yes familiar. The proof can go to school together?" ask Afnan slowly who is starting to look possessive to Ayumi.

"Just appreciate it. Kahfi is kind and never wrong. What's wrong Ayumi accepts her invitation to go to school together. Brother Afnan never doubt Ayumi." said Ayumi who suddenly uttered unusual words.

Afnan smiled with satisfaction at Ayumi's words that so adem pierced the heart.

"Sister always believed in you Ayumi. Take care of your heart for Brother, Brother will still wait for you at any time." said Afnan softly with a fluffy smile.

"Yes Brother Afnan. Ayumi understood what Big Brother meant." said Ayumi softly as she lowered her face down in embarrassment.

"Sister go home first. Rest, you must be tired" said Afnan slowly advised.

" Yes Brother. Be careful on the road." said Ayimi slowly.

The motor engine sound is turned on. Afnan drove his bike slowly. There was a feeling of relief in the two, for already daring to be honest and reveal each other. Expressing the feelings of love and affection that Allah SWT bestows.

Ayumi walked back to the house. Go inside the house and lock the door. Grandma Arsy was back to sit back in her rocking chair. But before seeing his favorite grandson behind the living room curtain. What the two teenagers did was opposite in kind.

"Grandma's not resting?" ask Ayumi slowly to Grandma Arsy.

"Rest first Ayumi. Tomorrow wake up early so as not to miss the morning prayer." said Granny Arsy softly to Ayumi.

Ayumi nodded her head slowly to understand what Grandma Arsy was saying.

"Ayumi went to the room first, Nek." said Ayumi slowly and then moved to her bedroom.

Only his bedroom was the most comfortable place at the moment after both his parents died.
