THE SOUL OF MAYRA

Unexpectedly if they will meet Alif in the store. For a moment they greeted Alif who was enjoying his breakfast while busy observing his laptop.
"Assalamualaikum" Hail Mayra and Ana.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Uh, you guys want to have breakfast too?" reply Alif.
"Yes, Aki Alif."
Alif nodded - nodding.
"I'm sorry, Assalamualaikum."
Alif nodded. "Waalaikumsalam Warrahmatullahi Wabbarakatuh."
Mayra and Ana are now sitting at one of the tables that are four tables with Alif's table. While waiting for their breakfast menu to come, Mayra and Ana chatted lightly. A few minutes later, breakfast arrived. It looks so appetizing to them that the food is none other than kushari.
With the prefix do'a Mayra and Ana eat kushari that has been available in front of them. During the activity of eating a silent atmosphere without chatter, but the voice of the other table is faint - faint is heard. Only occasionally can Mayra and Ana be seen tweaking their phones.
Kushari is a typical Egyptian food, if in Indonesia kushari is known as nasi uduk. The Kushari menu is one of the breakfast menu in Egypt.

At a Singapore international airport, a girl was sitting in a waiting chair. His eyes occasionally swept around and also occasionally stared at the flat object screen in his grasp. There was a look of happiness and anxiety emanated from the girl's face, which was none other than Fara.
The 22-year-old girl was so enthusiastic to go to the airport to pick up her filler. It has been three days Arnoz was in Indonesia and just last night he gave news to Fara. Surely when he heard the news Arnoz came home today, Fara looked so happy.
Tling.
A message notification from whatsapp application was heard on Fara's phone. Fara instantly carved out her smile as she got a message from Arnoz.
// I have arrived at the airport. Wait for me, I'll come right up to. //by Arnoz.
Hmmm..thank goodness Arnoz has arrived. I really wanted to shower him with a lot of questions today. I was really impressed with his business in Indonesia.
Taps! taps! faint footsteps sounded. Fara's mischievous intention to surprise Arnoz was seeping in his mind. Fara pretended to look down unaware of Arnoz's arrival. Arnoz steps closer to make Fara smile ignorant, soon his ignorance will slide.
Taps! Arnoz is beside Fara now.
"Hai Arn- -" Fara's wit came to a halt, the look turned startled.
Fara tried to recover her shock. He smiled at Arnoz who had arrived, but he did not arrive there alone but with someone.

Today Om Candra, Aunt Rika, and Meyna are at the TPU. They were visiting Grandpa and Grandma's tomb. While sprinkling flowers on the mound of land that is the tomb of Grandpa and Grandma, a cry of sadness appeared instantly. Aunt Rica could not hold back tears for her in-laws.
Om Candra was the same, her eyes glazed - the glass saw that both her parents had returned to the Divine. Meyna looked at the two mounds of land next to each other, she also felt sad and her eyes were glazed.
Pa, Ma, I'm sorry. Maybe all this time I haven't been able to make you as happy as you want. After the departure of Mas Heru and Mbak Ratna, a few years later Mama caught up with them. And after Mama's death, Papa caught up with you. Only one that I hope for you, may you be spared from the torment of the Power.
Aunty Rika's tears dripping down her cheeks.
Pa, Ma, forgive your son. Forgive all my mistakes with you all this time, maybe I have denied you too much. But, my do'a and my darling I always devote to you. May you be calm and happy there.
Om Candra shed tears, she really can not stem her tears.
After sowing the flowers and putting some roses on the two mounds of land, they recited the surah yasin. Seeming solemn' but sometimes Aunt Rika profusely let out her tears. It does not feel that the years have changed, the age of the two land mounds is increasing.
Although it is the age of the second tomb, the tomb still looks well preserved. The green grass enveloped a rectangular mound of earth with fresh flowers always sown on it. Because, every visit to the tomb of Grandpa and Grandma the family always brings sow flowers as well as stem flowers.

Returning to Singapore's international airport, Fara was still staring at Arnoz and a girl beside Arnoz alternately. His mind asked who was the woman next to Arnoz, if her brother was impossible. Because, Arnoz's parents were only children so they had no other relatives.
Arnoz and the Big Brother are Grandpa's grandchildren, nothing else either. Fara finally asks Arnoz about the woman, but Arnoz's response seems confused and afraid to answer Fara's questions. Seeing Arnoz's strange gurgle, Fara urges him more and more to have Arnoz answer questions from him.
