For some reason since Azzam's departure my feelings have been unsettled, there is anxiety, and even I feel that my anxiety may be excessive. But I don't know if it could be the baby who does not want to be far from the father.
"Rather than you worried about the deck, mending we watch while snacking. We'll see our favorite movie. Drakor that," Kak Aya aka kak Soraya came out of the kitchen with a few packets of biscuits and snacks. Fikri and Sarah had gone home last night because they had to return to their state duties, he said.
I tapped the tip of my thumb with my right finger. Fiddling with thumb nails. My eyes were on the screen showing Lee Seung Gi's handsome face. But my focus is not really there. I'm waiting for someone's call. Every few minutes I look at my phone. But the call I was hoping for had not yet come.
"Ouch, deck. Are you worried that Azzam's thoughts are with the woman who went with him? Anxious, Azzam will be courted by women who is his name," said Kak Aya after sipping a glass of orange drink.
What Kak Aya thought was completely wrong and missed. I'm not afraid of Rara being annoying or teasing or even the other way around.
"Sister Rara, you mean?" I laughed softly.
"It is not brother. Rara's sister is good, even if I ask her to leave with Azzam because I also think about the mood of Rara who may still be upset and sad because it has just gone through a difficult time. And coincidentally they were accidentally one destination. Equally willing to ponpes Mambaul Ulum."
"Hm, yes-yes. Maybe it was you who needed rest. Understand the bumil mood is difficult to predict" said Kak Soraya.
"Ah, sister Aya can do it."
"Atagfirullah al'adzim why are you still watching. That abah is ready to pray dzuhur jamaah you know. You want to miss the ashar?" scolded us when we saw we were still at home staring at the television screen.
"Emang has adzan ya umi?" I don't know, because I haven't heard the Adhan.
"Yes, Mi. Brother also has not heard kirain has not entered the dzuhur time, the food is still here. "
"you are just there." Umi omel. "Well, what time is it?" umi's eyes followed the wall clock attached to our right, making me and Aya's brother follow the tail looking at the clock.
"Yes already. Wait for umi. Let's take ablution first." Aya turned off the television to the toilet as well as me.

"Assalamualaikum... "
I groaned softly when I felt a hand land and gently rubbed my head.
When the eyes first opened, the male figure was smiling sweetly. With a semi-conscious state, and eyelids that still feel heavy I tried to wake up.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," I said while still rubbing my eyelids. When the view starts to focus. I realized Azzam had been sitting quietly next to me.
Realizing that, I immediately kissed her hand. "Honey," I said, clenching my head against his chest after kissing Azzam's hand. "Finally my brother came home." Finally, I heard that voice again. My eyes don't look into her shady eyes.
My hand moved slowly, touching the area of his face. A pointed nose, cracked lips, firm jaw. Thin beard, black iris on his eyes. Everything I observe intensely. Just like what I did, he replied back. We both enjoyed that touch.
Our noses met each other. The warm breath I can feel. Like a year without meeting, why this feeling, as if another. Like I feel like he's going away for a long time.
I buried my head in the chest of his field, enjoyed the warm embrace, the smell of his perfume I always missed anyway.
"Abang, when do you come home? Why did Nisa not tell. Is it night now." I started, after a few minutes there was no conversation between the two of us.
"Not yet, dear, it's still afternoon" he said.
I stretched my arms, and took them off.
"Now will you be home sooner?"
"Because you can't be far from your son and brother's wife, baby"
"Hem, start it... "
"Come here to say thank you."
"Thank you? What's for?"
"Yes, honey. Thank ye. Thank you for sincerely accepting my brother. Want to open this heart to be filled by men who have recited ijab and qobul on that good day. Although brother admitted always less handsome with men who ever liked Nisa." her smile.
I hit his arm slowly. "ih brother said what the hell. Nisa doesn't like it!" I said with a sour face.
Azzam smiled happily.
My hands tightly locked Azzam's fingers. "It should be Nisa who should be grateful because you have been patient to face the hard heart of Nisa. But my brother has a strong heart and is also a true warrior... Hehhe. "my grin.
"Honey" call Azzam full of love.
"Yeah"
"If air is created from the ribs of Prophet Adam alaihisalam, then Nisa is the rib of Azzam, not another man" said Azzam.
I smiled happily after hearing his words. My straight black hair I rubbed slowly.
"May you hug for a second, dear?"
"By dong darling"
Azzam's head was dropped on my shoulders, as was mine. My arms were back in a tight loop, hugging the man who always made me tingle at the moment.
"Darling, sorry you have to leave at this time. Brother tipped our child," said Azzam after releasing his embrace.
Of course I was surprised to hear Azzam's words. Where is he going again. Does he still have other business, so it requires him to leave at this time, even though he has only arrived.
"No Nisa, brother's time has come. You have to leave right now. Sorry brother. Don't forget to always look after and pray for our children..." Azzam landed an old kiss on my forehead.
I cried sobbing. I don't understand what Azzam said. Why does he say that.
My hand as close as I could. As Azzam began to move. I'm all scared. Of course I don't want to split up and let Azzam go. For me Azzam was the only one who was always loyal to be beside me. Calm me if I am sad, anxious or panicked. My hope is so great to be with him.
"No! Brother can't go. Brother has to stay here with Nisa"
I'm trying to prevent Azzam.
"Can't, baby."
"Why can't! Or Nisa's not coming!"
"Nisa must remain here with Abah and Umi with Kak Soraya and other brothers," said Azzam meekly.
"Flame... But... " My eyes saw Azzam's body as it faded. "Abang Azzam!"
"But! Brother!" I shouted many times with tears falling down my cheeks. My hands are no longer able to reach Azzam's body.
"Nisa! Nisa wakes up Nak. "quietly and half-consciously I hear a woman's voice whose tone I often hear.
"Son... " This time he patted me on the cheek, trying to build me up.
I jumped in shock, even at this moment I felt my body was very sticky filled with sweat. Waking up, I was like a dazed man. I quickly pulled my body to immediately wake up. My breath was tight and my chest felt tight. What seemed to make me confused before me was now gathered brother, and the other Azzam brothers.
Umi looked at me. His eyes were red as if he was crying. While others bowed deeply. They were all silent, no one spoke yet.
"What's this about? Why is everyone gathered in Nisa's room? Did something happen to Nisa?"
I held my face down to my stomach. Continuing to reveal the blanket checking my feet. I even feel fine. There is no pain in my body.
"Umi, what's going on? Don't make Nisa tangent," Umi also bowed silently, while sitting in front of my bed.
"Which gate? You're all here, but brother Azzam why aren't there?"
Umi's tears broke when I mentioned her youngest child's name.
"Azzam is gone, son," Umi said as she held onto her chest.
"No Umi. Brother was here. Sitting with Nisa just now. Really," I said confidently.
Brother Soraya stepped up, approaching towards me. Just like what Umi did to me her eyes glazed over.
"You're patient, deck." Brother Soraya hugged me tightly, rubbing my back up and down.
"Sir Aya, why? Why should Nisa be patient."
"Azzam's chat... " Sir took off his embrace and looked at me with a serious look. I saw him take a deep breath. Like there was fatigue felt by Brother Soraya.
"Azzam has left us, deck. Leave us forever."
DEG.
Soraya's words were like a bomb, destroying the building and everything in it. That's how I feel now. The news, like it was ruining my life. My body is shaking violently. My heart's pumping irregularly.
Slowly the clear liquid has been fully piled up in the eye and ready to spill at any time.
"Baa... How could you brother?"
"Azzam had a consecutive accident in the area of Serpong Damai (BSD). Azzam and Rara lost control until they hit a large trontoon car in front. After that, the tourist bus car also came at the same high speed hit the Azzam car. That's a story you know but we're waiting for a follow-up from the police."
"Did Rara suffer the same fate, brother?"
"According to the information yes deck. Rara also became a victim of the accident."
Tears were unstoppable, my shoulders were shaking. Always trying to hold it as close as a few tears were relentlessly raining down my cheeks.
Death has separated man from his beloved family.
"Sir Nisa wants to see her brother, Nisa wants to see his face for the last time."
"Son, the doctor's team will deliver the body here. Let's just wait."
Right now, I feel my head is as heavy as it continues to sob.
"Permy... " I called Umi Salamah softly and weakly. My body is starting to limp.
"Yes, son?" Umi tidied my hair, rubbing it quietly. Although I knew his own heart also hurt to see his youngest son had to leave first.
"Umi, Nisa's head once." My vision began to blacken as a whole.
