THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapters 15. The debate between Athalla and Mami
Kania spilled back her cries in the boarding room. It feels like being someone who doesn't have. What else if Athalla's parents know about his lewd videos, he will automatically not be able to approach Athalla again even if just saying hello.
After changing clothes and washing her face Kania tried to close her eyes but her eyes could not be closed. He remembered his mother and father who were gone.
"Dad, mom since you guys left, my life has been so complicated. I really want to tell you that without you it feels very different here. I miss you, your advice, your smile and your laughter. I hope, if Father and Mother can hear, I want to say that I miss your presence so much. Come to my dream, I want to hug Mom and Dad. If time can be repeated, I want to spend more time with you. A longing that is eternal and never reaches its owner longs for the figure of a father and mother who rest in heaven. The most painful longing is longing for the dead."
Kania cried herself to sleep. With tears bathed the woman was finally able to close her eyes.

In the morning when the clock was still showing at five in the morning Athalla was standing in front of Kania's boarding room. He felt very guilty about Kania. Had Athalla not invited Kania, maybe the woman would not have been hurt by the attitude of her parents.
When Fitri and her parents say goodbye, Athalla immediately looks for Kania. Every corner of his house did not escape on the roaming. However, the woman was nothing to be seen.
Athalla asks with all the housemaids in her parents' house but no one knows of Kania's whereabouts. Until a security guard at the house came in and heard Athalla ask, immediately replied if Kania had left home.
"So there was a young woman who said goodbye to mamang. He asked Aden if he came home. Can not say goodbye," said Mamang.
The mother who heard them interrupted their conversation. "You saw Athalla yourself, the woman you said was good. Just to say he can't. What a hard thing is coming over and saying goodbye before going home. Where's his manners?" ask Mommy with a little emotion.
"Alright, Mi! I don't want to argue. Can't Mami put herself as Kania? If Mami becomes Kania, what Mami can still behave like him when it comes to meeting with the purpose of siraturahmi but did not get a good reception. Don't you know, our obligation as Muslims welcomes guests well!" Athalla.
Athalla always followed what his parents said. However, this time Athalla felt both her parents were outrageous. If they don't like Kania, they can talk to Athalla behind her back so she doesn't get hurt.
"I know, Mi! I appreciate Mommy. Otherwise, maybe I won't want to talk to the guest that Mami invited. I just reminded Mami."
"Easy! Mami understands now, how Mami is and where Kania is in your heart."
After saying that, without waiting for further explanation from Athalla, Mami left her son.
Athalla also left the house. Mami who peeked out of the window of her room seemed to pout at Athalla's departure. Mami was hoping that her son would chase her to the room and apologize.
However, his hope did not come true. Athalla left without saying goodbye and apologized.
That night Athalla arrived at the Kania boarding at the time when the clock had shown at eleven o'clock in the evening. After several knocks on the door, Athalla returned to the car. He couldn't possibly knock hard, fearing to disturb the other occupants of the cost.
Athalla decided to wait and sleep in the car. At dawn, after the prayer in the mosque the man went straight to the kos Kania and tried to knock back on the door hoping Kania opened it. Athalla has also tried dozens of times to contact Kania's cell phone, but is still inactive.
After several times knocking on the door, finally heard footsteps approaching and opened the door. Kania looked in wonder when she saw Athalla.Kania rubbing her eyes. Guess he's dreaming.
"Mas Athalla, am I dreaming?" ask Kania.
Without answering Kania's question, the man hugged Kania.
