The clock had shown at nine in the morning, Firdaus was astonished by Miftah. He had not come out of his room for an hour.
"What is he actually doing? why is it not ready at this hour? how long does it put clothes in a suitcase?" he thought it was saturated because the coffee that Miftah had made was exhausted and also his favorite film.
"Yes my... This brat... Can moldy me long - long wait here," he fretted.
"Krek," the sound of the doorknob that had been opened made Firdaus immediately rise from his seat to approach the figure who had opened it.
Firdaus who was originally about to vent a little of his emotions was now silent when he saw Miftah's eyes that had swollen and red.
"You why? abis sprains medicine huh?" ask Firdaus to make sure and Miftah just shut up.
"Let's go Kaka! he said Kaka wanted to take me to Kaka's house, so instead of wasting a long time we'd better leave now." take Miftah while dragging her suitcase without waiting for a reply from Firdaus to the car.
"Basic! what kind of question was I? cook it I was thinking that Miftah was sprained in medicine! if a sore eye medication can be swollen what? you fool!" he said to himself and then began to follow the footsteps of Miftah who had first arrived in front of his car.
"Here's your suitcase! let me help bring you my car kebagasi," Pinta Firdaus and Miftah just handed it over without saying a word.
"You just get in my car first okay," said Firdaus and Miftah just nodded.
Firdaus felt there was something strange about Miftah, though, it was not usual for the girl to be so gloomy as she was to anyone because she was very good at hiding her problems but now she looked very fragile.
Miftah immediately opened the back car door and sat quietly, her head continued to submit and it succeeded in making Firdaus feel very curious and kasian.
"Lho! why don't you just sit next to me?" ask Firdaus after getting into the car.
"Sorry Kaka for now I seem to be on my own" he replied listlessly.
"Mifs... If you have a problem you can tell me," he bargained, who now feels a little strange about himself.
"Why did I arrive - suddenly care about him? shouldn't I be happy when I see her fragile condition like this? but now why does my heart even go along with the pain?" his mind was not inexhaustible with the change of atmosphere.
"Yes already... It is better for now you calm yourself first so that your eyes do not water anymore and the swelling becomes reduced" said Firdaus.
"Alright Kaka." he responded while trying to smile in a state that was still down.
🍃 Events before leaving 🍃
Miftah who had obtained permission from Firdaus to clean up his things began to go to the room after making him a warm glass of coffee that so tormenting his inner heart when inhaling the aroma of coffee that he had long stored she was very nice and had never touched her since her grandfather died.
The most frequent drink of coffee at home is Qomarun, it was not Miftah who had to intervene to make it because they were very close friends so it was a bit free for Qomarun if he wanted to make a cup of coffee for himself.
But since Qomarun left to finish his studies back Miftah so it is difficult to find a replacement if he is unable to attend the lecture.
Actually, Miftah has been preparing everything since last night, only a small part of it that he had not entered but he had to say yet so that Firdaus was not too suspicious if he was still in his room for a long time.
Yes as usual if the clock has shown at eight o'clock in the morning Miftah decided to pray Dhuha first after that he also prayed to the Divine but somehow he so wanted to cry when remembering his soul mate came faster than he thought.
"Oh Allah, where is your mother? have they really forgotten me? verily, I long for them, O Allah, when I shall soon marry, I long for papa to be my guardian when that time comes, but is it possible?" his prayer was very sad.
"I was wrong about God until they left me at that time when it was the time of my rising age... I should have gotten a beautiful gift but why was that one time I got a painful one?" he asked, his heart was so sliced when he remembered the events of several years ago.
At that time Miftah was about to turn eleven years old, he intends after graduation to enter the boarding school and ask permission to wear a permanent veil because he is very confident in his decision.
Miftah is famous for the pious girl at her school, she said politely and she was also a very shy girl, she said, when friends want to take pictures together in front of the camera he always avoids because he does not like it.
He preferred to read books about Islam long ago, many of the adam who shot him but he always refused subtly so as not to hurt their hearts.
Every day his desk drawer is never empty, there was a gift put by his secret admirer without a name and he only kept the gift until now but if the food he would give it to his friends to eat together.
Since that day many have given him gifts in the form of objects in order to be stored by him after knowing if they gave food it was not eaten by him in the slightest.
That night was a very Miftah wait - wait before because it had been a long time he wanted to wear a veil but he did not dare to express it and now his heart was steady and very confident in his choice that's.
Now Miftah has come down using neat clothes to approach her mom and dad but when her feet have reached the end of the last stairs she even heard a noise in the kitchen.
"Father! mama is tired of her cooperation papa who likes to cheat behind mom! do you think this mom is stupid? no! mama actually saw with her own eyes that papa was alone with the damn woman," she growled while pointing right at her husband's face.
"What the hell is ma! papa doesn't understand! papa really has nothing to do with another woman! papa will love only the mother," said the father trying to calm down.
"Love? papa said papa love with mom? why do you even dare to kiss that woman while you're making dinner... Why?" ask the mother of fire.
"Ma! by Allah, you never kissed another woman as long as we were married other than mama! papa sure mama must have misunderstood," fretted the papa.
"Misunderstand what papa means? clearly - clearly it happened in front of the eyes of the head of the mother herself when she also happened to have a meeting with one of her clients mama.." he said did not accept.
"It's up to mom! papa was actually also very tired with the nature of the mother who was too possessive on papa," his response then began to pass from the presence of his wife to calm down.
"Mama hates you pa... Mama hates you!!! I hate you so much that even mommy is so sorry that she gave birth to a child with your flesh and blood in her body, too" he growled.
The husband who had been ignited by the words of his wife began to walk towards him with his hands about to lay towards his wife but was successfully detained by Miftah who was now crying profusely in front of his papa.
"Enough papa... Papa don't hit mom... Patience papa... Patience.." said Miftah pleading with breath still stinged - stingy as a result of crying so hard, his chest felt so pain when listening to the quarrel of his parents.
"Go you!!! I would not have a child in whose body is also the flesh blood of this defamatory woman!!!" his papa snapping instantly made Miftah's body freeze like a rock.
"Is this really my papa? my papa's feelings have never been this cruel to me! papa is a very patient and meek man even when he is angry papa used to prefer silence but now why has papa changed?" sad inner.
"Take your filthy hands off my fucking little lady hands!!! I hate you and for now don't you ever call me papa!!! I'm really disgusted to get a call from the flesh and blood of this defamatory woman" he snapped again while brusquely shaking his hand.
"Listen yes!!! this mama of yours has made me emotional so I am also coming along - disgusted at the sight of your very similar face!!! so you better just die long ago!!!" grit while gripping Miftah's cheek so that without red when the grip has been released*.
"*Ma... Papa why the hell ma..? why did you turn into a monster?" ask her little lips that still do not understand the impact of her question.
"Shut up!!! don't you ever call me your mama again!!!" gritting the mama*.
"*Plak*,"
A slap from the mother landed perfectly on his cheek when he was still sitting next to him.
Enough is! miftah's heart is now completely broken made by them, his intention is to calm the fierce quarrels his parents who almost hurt each other even he who became their monthly - monthly.
*With all his might Miftah rose from her sitting position.
"That's enough!!! where did love go in my mother's heart, papa? where?!! if you love each other you should also trust each other instead of accusing each other without clear evidence!!! I am still a little boy who doesn't know what!!! yes you are right!!!" she screams of frustration while enduring the pain that is so intense in her heart*.
"Same mommy wants me not to exist, right? but if that's what you want why you guys even unite and make me exist up to this moment and just because there's a personal problem you're spilling all your resentment on a child who doesn't have any mistakes at all!!! why huh?" he asked but his parents were silent and looked down.
"okay!!! if that's what you want I'll grant you!!! I will go and kill myself so that you guys are happy!!! satisfied you!!! just continue this endless fight!!! goodbye," said Miftah as she ran out of the house with weak steps and a gloomy eye view of the nearly spilled crystal dam.
*The security guard guard who guarded the gate so woke up from his deep sleep posted near the gate when he saw Miftah opening the gate violently and then came out just like that.
"Eh non! not going where?" ask the security guard to worry and then rush after Miftah*.
"Non it's non night! non can not be wild night - this night is non! the danger! ladies and gentlemen must be very worried about non," he recalled while continuing to chase Miftah who was very fast running until the old guard became a little overwhelmed.
"*Worrying?" thought Miftah when the security guard used that phrase.
"Don't worry! they just want me dead, "groaned without stopping his steps until the security guard who saw Miftah's body so disappeared no longer*.
"I must return immediately and report this to the master and mistress! hopefully non Miftah is okay" he said and immediately turned around to return so that Miftah could be searched easily through other officers.
Miftah continued to run with blurred eyesight and unconsciously now she had penetrated a very dark forest, the sound of dog howls began to sound, he said, Miftah was only able to hug her own body as a result of having quivered in fear.
"Where am I? how far have I run? hiks," he said, who had now fallen down while shedding his tears and then he looked ahead which looked like a steep road and sure enough as he approached it turned out that the bottom was a ravine, trees look low when viewed from far away.
"Am I being made easy to die because of my parents' desire to easily find the abyss? do I have to end my life now so they can be happy? but... I am actually still afraid, God... If I kill myself it will be a great sin" he said, holding his throbbing head to the point of tormenting him.
"Know that my life is like this, what's the point of me surviving? I'd better end my life," he said that he was desperate and as he was about to jump into a deep abyss arrived - a hand pulled him to get away from the dangerous and very life-threatening area.
"*Who are you?" why are you even helping me?" tanya Miftah thrashed - thrashing to be released.
"Son... Allah hates his servant who wants to end his life for one thing only so you must be patient yes." remember a heavy voice from a grandfather*.
"But I don't have anyone anymore... My parents hated me and they wanted me dead... Hicks! hiks," his cry lowered his face while tapping his bowed head with his right arm.
"It's been... Don't cry anymore... If no one wants to love you anymore, there is still a grandfather here who will accept you to be part of the grandparents' family" he explained.
"*Grandpa's no longer kidding, is he?" tanya Miftah who already looks a little cheerful even though the pain is still felt since then.
"Of course, grandfather is not kidding but you want to be the granddaughter of grandparents?" tanya and Miftah just nodded*.
"*But grandparents' houses may not be as good as yours" said the grieving grandfather.
"Grandpa cake... Miftah was very grateful... It turns out that in this world there are still those who still love Miftah," he said with a smile even though his eyes still look red and swollen*.
"*Let's cake go home," he said, who was still like a child, he slowly pulled the index finger of the grandfather to walk with him.
"All right," the grandfather's response was*.
He was reminded of his own son who is now grown and had to wander out of the country but bad luck befell him and his small family because the child had a plane accident when he wanted to return to visit him while bringing a grandchild whom he had never seen at all and the figure of Miftah made him feel the presence of a granddaughter whom he had long awaited.
"What a fuckin' son! who else could throw a child as sweet and strong as this just like that? I'm sure someday they'll be sorry, "he thought fretting and feeling very comfortable with Miftah.
Now they began to walk out of the very dark forest to return home, the burden on his small mind was reduced when he was with the grandfather who was very friendly to him, even though the grandfather had just known him.
It did not feel how long Miftah daydreamed while remembering her bitter childhood with tears that still wet her cheeks and when she looked at the clock her eyes immediately widened so shocked.
"Oh Allah, it is nine o'clock less" he said and immediately rushed to prepare - ready because Paradise must have been waiting for him outside for a long time.
"It's a good thing he didn't knock on my door so there's still time before that happens" she said.
🍃 Current events 🍃
Firdaus continued to drive with a feeling that was still not calm at all, how not? Miftah still kept her head down since then, she kept thinking of ways and after finding it she lent Miftah her phone which she had put on a headset.
"This is take," give Firdaus to Miftah who is only responded with a confused look.
"Wear," he ordered.
"For what?" tanyanya still does not understand.
"You've used it first and you know you've heard it" he replied.
Miftah only obeyed and then immediately did what Firdaus ordered, it turns out Firdaus told him to listen to sholawat who was himself who sang it with music through karaoke.
He was forced to give sholawat with his own voice because on his phone there was no other song other than sholawat from the recording when he was very idle.
Miftah became calm and soon after she fell asleep with the headset still attached to her ear.
Firdaus was finally able to exhale a sigh of relief, at least it was enough to help him so as to relax himself for a while before getting to the destination.
