The beautiful face turned into a pale corpse, the memory of all the pain in the house could not be covered. The events of a few years ago were so imprinted in his memory.Just this afternoon, Mr. Oscsar, his lawyer told him that the house had returned to his own. And he was asked to check directly on the house he had left for almost ten years.
The memory of how he was tortured, being scorned by a stepfamily that hated him so much made him shudder. Even they seemed to have no compassion at all while treating him inhumanely. He was often confined in a room, told to clean the three-story house with his own hands, working on the other houses as well.
The only food you can eat is white rice, tempeh and fried tofu. Even since that torture she lost a lot of weight. She who used to be a beautiful girl with smooth skin as white as porcelain and perfectly groomed now turned rough and dull. The dry skin even peels and cracks on his feet.
The disaster began when Dady married a beautiful widow with three daughters, and a few years later Dadynya died of a heart attack. But a few months ago he learned of the fact that Dady died from being killed by Uncle Def, the brother of his stepmother. Uncle Def and his stepmother are now in prison to account for their actions. As for his three half-brothers somehow how they are now. Alura has been out of touch for a long time. The three of them were lost to the earth.
The story of her life is similar to the story of Cinderella with stepmother, only that no fairy godmother turned her into a princess and no white riding prince saved from the pain of the torment of her mother and her stepbrother.
Alura smiled faintly considering how she could end up in the orphanage that night. His stepfamily drove him out mercilessly. Mastering all the treasures of his parents. Alura could not do anything. Nobody could save her, finally the young girl gave up, living year after year of her life in an orphanage.
However, luck seems to be siding with Alura, she is adopted by a childless couple at the age of their marriage which has reached twenty years. Both adoptive parents Alura is one of the rich businessmen in Indonesia.
They loved Alura as much as their own children. The hazel eyes that belonged to Alura were able to attract their hearts when they first met. The cheerful girl's aura, it's not hard for her to get along with her new family. Alura finally rediscovered the affection she had not felt since Mami and Dady died.
Alura who was originally a Christian chose to embrace Islam, the same as the religion of her adoptive parents shortly after she was brought to the luxury house. All happened not because in force, Alura chose with full awareness. Because he saw how good the morals of Mama, Papa, and other families towards Alura. Alura had a long discussion with her parents, before she decided to convert and even Arya and his wife invited Ustadzah for further discussions with Alura. From the discussion that Alura sure, because the explanation about Islam fitrah and satisfying sense.
Another thing that makes him steady to worship is when he hears the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an.
His heart suddenly warmed and his tears dripped without being prevented. Alura felt an overwhelming feeling that was hard to describe with words.
After the martyrdom, Alura became a devout Muslim. He even memorized ten juz under the guidance of Ustadzah Aisyah.
Alura quickly understood what Mama, Papa and Ustadzah Aisyah had to say about Islam. Since Alura is basically a smart girl, she also just finished her S1 education although it was a little late.
Alura walked towards the closet taking out some gamis stel. Maybe he'll stay a few days there. Given that he had not set foot there for a long time.
After putting all her needs into the bag, Alura immediately left the luxurious room she occupied for the past few years.
"Mama" said Alura to the blue hooded woman sitting in the living room.
"So off?" Ask the gentle woman.
"God, so this afternoon, Ma."
"Who will accompany you, my dear?" There was a worried tone from the woman's question.
"Alright, be careful, yeah. Come on, have lunch!" The two women of different ages immediately walked towards the dining table.
This is where Alura is now, driving to her childhood home. Throughout the journey Alura tried to strengthen her heart. After all, sadness and happiness mixed into one. It is sad to have bitter memories of living in that house. Happy that he is going back to his childhood home.
Not how long the car driven by Alura entered the spacious courtyard, right in front of it towering sturdy buildings. Alura took off her seat-belt and got out of the car.
Alura did not go straight in, she momentarily noticed that the old house had been abandoned by its owner. Alura felt her eyes heat up, a flash of memories while her parents were still alive as if dancing in front of her. Nothing has changed from the house, only the paint has faded. From outside his house looked clean and clean. According to Mr. Oscar, there was indeed a person who was hired to care for and clean his house so far.
Alura was still late with her childhood memories when I heard a voice make her realize.
"Assalam'ualaikum." said the owner of the voice.
Alura turned around, not far from her, stood a man whose face was so familiar.
"Miss, Alura. It's good to see you back" the man said with a smile.
Alura was still silent and tried to remember who this handsome man in front of her was. Yasir ...! Ah, yes, he's Yasir the gardener's son first. Didn't expect that skinny young man to be a grown man.
"Moskalamic. Are you Yasir? his son Pak Soleh," asked Alura to confirm. The man named Yasir just nodded.
"For a long time no see" said Alura cupping her hands in front of her chest.
"Yes, Miss. How are you doing?" yasir asked slightly surprised at Alura's appearance which changed by a hundred percent. Behind the shock, Yasir was actually very happy.
"Alright, thank God," replied Alura.
"Does Miss live here now?"
"Hmm, no. I just want to visit," said Alura took out a suitcase from her car.
"Alright, Miss. since there's just been a long trip, please take a break," Yasir said politely.
then leave Alura.
