The star! Little Wife

Finishes.

''Brother, Rahmi left first, '' said Rahmi kissing the back of her husband's hand.

''Yes, careful. Don't forget to let me know if there's anything.''

Rahmi nodded. He immediately went over to Ryan who was waiting for him.

A few days earlier, when they met, Ryan asked Rahmi to go alone and Alif could not come along as his apology to lie to him.

I don't want Alif to have to.

The car is now speeding towards a place that Rahmi does not know about.

3 Hours have passed

The magnificent city began to be replaced with high green hills with vast rice fields.

They arrived in a village that is more modern than other villages. Maybe in a few years it will turn into a city.

Their car entered a gate that looked magnificent. The area is unpredictable. Ryan also got Rahmi out of the car.

''Brother, this is a pesantren, right?''

Ryan nodded. He looked around. The lake in front of a magnificent house inhabited by a Kyai has now changed owners.

''Come on, Star,'' invite Ryan to roll his hand and be greeted by Rahmi with a smile.

While passing through a large tree, Rahmi puffed up.

''Mango tree? the magnitude...how many years did he stand?'' Rahmi's mummies.

''This tree has a big history, '' said Ryan to attract the attention of Rahmi.

''Why ''Why?''

''The meeting place of Grandmother's great-grandfather with great-grandfather. The beginning of the Mahesa family who changed into entrepreneurs. We used to be people in the field of religion. Until his son-in-law must be women or men who are just right, said Ryan smiled at the mango tree.

It was amazing to see that tree still standing but storing their memories from genarasi to generations.

''Are grandmothers and great-grandfathers happy?'' rahmi asked Ryan to laugh.

''Very! Grandpa and Grandma love to tell stories. Grandpa and great-grandfather never separated. Even though they were betrothed to love each other.''

''Ho'oh.''

''Ryan!! Why not come here?!?!'' someone shouted from the big house.

Ryan immediately went there with Rahmi's hand.

''Assalamualaikum, Hamzah.''

''Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah.''

''Afifah is already big it turns out,'' he said.

''She once came when you were born, Star. Introduce this uncle Hamzah's cousin Father, said Alif introduced.

''Greetings to Uncle, '' said Rahmi with a smile.

''Na'am, na'am.''

''Come in,'' he said.

During that time Hamzah told me a lot about their family background.

It turns out that he and Alif's family were different when their automatic ancestor Alif was a distant family.

Grandma and Grandpa have different paths. His grandfather inherited the company of his father who is a businessman while his grandmother married a businessman who makes them no one to set the family path hereditary as an ustadz and ustadzah. So fall upon their cousins who walk the path. From century to century that changed to make them into a family of business people, but it does not make the rules of prospective son-in-law should be removed. Sometimes there is conflict with their families about the prospective daughter-in-law who must be approved by the family who takes care of boarding school according to tradition. Now everything has gone back until the conflict has stopped. Rahmi's hijrah makes her family get along again.

''No, why bring Rahmi here?'' ask Rahmi.

Ryan smiled as he looked far away.

''The proposal of Mahesh has returned. Families far away must come closer not to forget each other. When you're gone, no one comes from here. Mama who was born from here will definitely be sad.''

''Are you from here?''

''Uncle Hamzah is my adoptive brother. Consider an orphan so cared for by an uncle who is a distant family mama too.''

''It means mama married her cousin dong!''

''Pfft. Damn right! He married his own cousin, Hamzah said.

The three of them used to be playmates cared for by Kyai umar. Study the yellow book so deeply that their path is different.

Rahmi's father chose to continue his family business. Rahmi's mother chose to achieve her dream as a painter and she carried out her duty to continue the path of Kyai Umar.

''Which aunt of Hafsah?'' ask Ryan.

''Oh, he used to go to the place of stories.''

''Ummul?''

''Dikamar playing the game equally.''

Uncle Hamzah took a long breath. His daughter is only one but he wants to ask for forgiveness.

''Uncle can't give up, '' said Ryan chuckled.

''Yes, uncle tau.''

Rahmi looked around. The view outside the window looks beautiful.

''That's a rambutan tree... Wanna eat?''

Rahmi nodded slowly. They sat in the streets with rambutan that had been picked.

At night they ate together. Ummul is a little quiet while Hafsah is the same as the mother in general, chatty.

In the morning they returned to the city. What a great day, according to Rahmi. Simple happiness of a family.

''Star... You have to be happy, said Ryan on the sidelines of his driving time.

''Sister why say so I will definitely be happy, '' said Rahmi smiling widely.

Ryan looked sadly. It felt too fast his big brother.

''Brother why do you say it as if you are going?''

Rahmi rubbed her watery eyes. Maybe all this time he missed being together like a child. Their togetherness yesterday made Rahmi realize that many years have passed just like that.

''Who knows, Star.''

Ryan's words immediately made Rahmi cry.

''I can't go!'' rahmi holds Ryan's hand.

Sets.

Ryan's car stopped, he turned to look into the eyes of the brother who had been swept.

Greb.

Ryan hugged Rahmi tightly.he wiped the tears that fell from the eyes of the younger brother.

''Star... Sorry Brother. Brother will never say it again.''

Rahmi tightened her embrace, the warm embrace she missed from the year she had spent in her absence.

...

Their car has arrived. Alif had been waiting for his wife with longing. Though it was only a day but Alif could not bear to meet his wife.

When getting off the car Rahmi like reluctant to separate. His puffy eyes made Alif frown.

''Star. Your husband, said Ryan glanced at the sister who did not want to let go of his grip.

''Huahhhh!!''

Rahmi's tears broke and she hugged her sister so tightly in front of her husband.

''Rah?'' call Alif.

''I don't want to be separated from my sister!!''

Bam!

Like being struck by lightning Rahmi's speech made Alif's face instantly turn bad.

''Rah? You're not kidding?!''

''Oh how, nih. The power you have to be willing, Alif, said Ryan added.

''Rah... Rah.''

Rahmi looked reluctantly.

''I don't want to, '' said Rahmi slowly.

''Star... Want to come with brother?'' ask Ryan.

''You!''

Sets.

Alif immediately pulled Rahmi into his arms.

''No! Can't! you are mine now!'' alif stared at Ryan.

''yeah... Then I give it. Go home first. Drugs, '' said Ryan casually.

Alif stared at Ryan's departure. Alif thought there was going to be a big war but it was that easy.

''Ekhm,'' Deheman Rahmi made Alif aware.

''Why, Rah?''

''Detach!''

Alif let go of her embrace. He smiled at Rahmi.

''No smiling, hmph!''

Rahmi turned to the house by stomping her feet.

''Rah! wait!'' alif is chasing Rahmi.

''No!''

...

Night has come to replace the hot day. Rahmi sat in the courtyard looking at the window. Alif entered with a tray filled with milk.

''Why, Rah?''

Rahmi. He smiled at Alif and then looked back at the full moon.

''The sky is beautiful.''

''Now, drink milk first. I made it for you, said Alif handed over the glass.

Rahmi accepted it and drank it until it ran out.

''Brother, will our happiness be eternal?''

Alif sat next to Rahmi leaning his head on her shoulder and also looked at the moon.

''No. ''So... There must be a time when we grieve. Happy sad is natural. I don't know when fate will put us back into a difficult situation. We as human beings can only live without losing our way. Rah, the future is scary but also happy.'' Alif smiled at the moon.

''I am afraid of losing what I have now. Family, relatives, precious friends, as well as yourself, Rahmi said looking at the husband.

Alif looked back at the worried eyes.

''Rah, even if I don't exist. You should keep going without me, smile. Just remember that our love has been through a lot. We humans can not change destiny, just accept and mengikhlaskan it is enough to be a focus of happiness, said Alif cupped the face of the wife to be closer to him.

Alif's words are true. Rahmi cannot change the fate that has been written.

When the farewell comes, I hope it doesn't hurt so much. I will remember it as a precious memory that I have until we are reunited.
