There's No Saying Dear
October 10th, 2006
The twelfth fast was very special, because it coincided with the birthday of the round-faced girl. The Agam Ariaja. Will celebrate his son's birthday, with the help of orphans in his home.
"Pi, will this be a beautiful candle blow dong?" beautiful Tanya, with a happy face.
"Beautiful on your sixth birthday. Papi wants to say something to Beautiful!" agam Ariaja.
"Say what Pi?" tanya Beautiful, who was sitting next to her father.
"Son, it's a birthday that shouldn't be celebrated. Unless it should be contemplated." Beautiful does not understand, because her age is still said to be small.
"Pretty doesn't understand Pi!"
"Yes already, meaning this is not the time Papi explained, later when you can digest. Papi! I'll explain, baby!" Agam Ariaja kissed the hair of her son.
The clock shows at five in the afternoon, Agam Ariaja's house looks very crowded. Looks like the orphans have arrived. Three cars of different colors, entering the gate of Agam Ariaja house. All in out of the car, while carrying gifts. The round-faced girl was very happy, because the person she had been waiting for had come.
"Son!" shouted the girl, amidst the orphans. Run towards me and embrace him.
"Where is the fast, dear?" tanya akak, while stroking the head covered with hijab.
"No rascal!" the answer is what makes everyone laugh.
"In the afternoon like this, there's a sundel bolong." Grandpa Raharja really makes beautiful before.
"Please Mbah, not sundel bolong," said Beautiful, until the veins came out. Fortunately covered in leather and hijab.
"The name is definite hallways. Bolt up!" replied the grandfather who made all shake.
Adzan maghrib's voice. The family entertained the orphans well. Not infrequently the Raharja family helps for whatever it is. From taking food, there are also children who are three years old to be bribed, the twins lightly fed while asking jokes. There are also those who want to urinate even though the event is open. That one is the Light. The shoulder-haired woman, happily, drove the boy to the bathroom.
The sharing event was conducted by Agam Ariaja so that his children learn to have empathy for others. If not from childhood then when again.
The orphans came home, thirteen minutes ago. Now is the time for Agam Ariaja's family and Raharja's grandfather to have time to talk together. They sat on the carpet. The round-faced girl, more fun to open a gift from the Raharja family.
"Where do you think the Light has any signs?" tanya Agam Ariaja opened the chat.
Light knew the middle-aged man's intent. While the young man sitting next to his wife was silent.Take a drink of water from a straw. If the issue of napsu is not, the young man is just an ordinary man. But the young man holding him back was nothing. He and his wife did not have a deep love. Almost a year introducing them rarely met, what else when his wife focused on his college.
"Just pray, may you be given soon!" The light replied in a soft voice, it was impossible if she had to open up her relationship with her husband.
"But this is how it is, our people were only given six years, after the wedding," his wife Agam Ariaja said, patting her on the shoulder.
"Who knows Allah will tell them quickly Mi! Just look, the reception time has not been around Heaven directly down from the altar. Even though the night before the reception can be an investment," said Agam Ariaja, who remembers the incident at that time.
"What investment is Pi?" tanya Beautiful who focus on opening gifts.
Agam Ariaja's wife patted her husband's arm, because of her husband's words. Because he felt that Agam Ariaja's speech was not appropriate. What else there is also a young trio of singles fisabilillah. Eh there is also Jo means so four sets of singles fisabilillah.
"Invest to buy a house, son!" answer Agam Ariaja.
"Oh ..cure for buying Beautiful gifts!"
"Where's your college list Black?" khan asked to switch the conversation.
"Alhamdulillah! It's settled and accepted" replied Black, who was sitting next to Archer.
"What if you could know my son?" ask Abidah Aminah.
"Accutancy."
"Good boy, success is always yes" said Abidah Aminah.
"Dear yourself, don't get the wrong girl!" Grandpa Raharja advised the young man of Aceh descent.
"Yes Mbah, ask for his prayers may all be waged by God."
All agree with the speech of the young man of Aceh descent.
"So Black's heart is afraid that someone will be jealous," Jo chirped with a grin as she looked at Archer.
Archer who knew that he immediately threw something at Jo.
"Cher why was Jo thrown over watermelon skin?" ask Alula.
"Sister Jo sih—" Archer did not continue he said.
"Ehm ..there is salting," chirped Arche grinning.
Black was silent. Now the young man of Acehnese descent, must think of adulthood, because he has entered the college school is no longer a childish high school boy.
The old man just kept quiet, they knew it was just a joke.
"Gee ... I'm this shirt that I didn't want to love to brother Akak right? But why be given to me? Don't fit, huh? so be given to me? " Four questions land from Beautiful's mouth to Light.
"Not Beautiful! That's a special dress for you. But I'll save it first said Om! Beautiful birthday in a week. So, Akak, decide to give the dress to you when it's a pretty birthday. Because happiness— "said cut Beautiful.
"It doesn't have to come in a row, it could be that happiness is waiting for us in front." Beautiful answer, making everyone speechless.
Sky typed something and was shown to his wife to tell. If it's beautiful, it'll be a week's birthday.
"Well ..you can talk like that from where's my son?" ask the girl's mother.
"No," replied the girl, pointing towards the Light with a head movement.
"Gee ...Light Tea is the beast!" Two thumbs from Black to Light.
They've been there a long time.
They decided to go home. The girl wanted to come, but it wasn't allowed.
The three cars, out of the yard of Agam Ariaja house. The car in the sky is in the back. There has been no talk of either. The light phone rings like a phone call. Light asks permission to her husband first before receiving a call from no one. Impossible from stepmother, because Heaven already blocked stepmother number. The sky nodded in agreement, it was possible that his father was Light.
"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied Light.
"Cock SMS cave don't you reply Cahyo?" ask the guy on the phone.
"What is SMS? Sorry the cave phone is broken, this is just changed." Light recognizes the voice.
"Yes, how are you Cahyono?"
"Alhamdulillah well, where are you, Sumatra?"
"Yes, after meeting you that time, a week after that ..gua has returned until now."
"When to Jakarta again, how have you met yet?"
"Not yet, either the cave has tried to run everywhere but did not meet." The sound of desperate people.
"Prophey, Sanjo just keep looking until we meet."
The sky was stirring hearing Sanjo's name. The young man, reminded of Dusk Rahadian. His hands blamed the car audio.
"I want to know, you have to. I want you so, so you know ...Be thou mine always intact ... Untouchable..." The audio released the singing voice of Naif-Posif's song released in 2000. The light that was cool calling with Dusk was disturbed.
"Where else are there so many? Remember the girls take care of themselves," said the man from Sumatra, reminding Cahaya.
The light glanced at her husband as if to say 'please let the audio down a little' with a slashy face. While her husband, just glanced for a moment regardless of the gesture from his wife.
"If I die, you die too. Even though there is no love, so live it.Be thou mine, always whole, untouchable, only I." The car's audio keeps making noises. What else is the lyrics like describing someone's heart.
"The cave is in the car" Light replied, while shrinking the volume of the car's audio. The sky glanced as his wife shrank the volume.
"Oh..."
"Oh ..iya Sen, you to Jakarta when, no planning?"
Sometimes the Light glanced at her husband, but the glanced did not care.
"There's near Lebaran, I guess."
"Okey, the cave wait, yes, the cave already wants to reach the house because," said Cahaya, while turning off his phone.
"Sorry, old friend called." The woman apologized and told the truth. The sky is silent. Not even nodding! What else is sound. The woman thought that her husband was angry, because he turned down the audio volume suddenly. And the woman, turned the volume again. Then the young man, shrank the volume.
In the car, there was only the sound of a song. The light could not bear not speaking, he took the initiative to open his voice.
"Mas, by the way there's a third Eid event?" tanya Light faced her husband.
The silent sky did not want to answer. Actually he is confused by his nature lately why it is easy to talk.
"What do you want?" Three minutes of Light waited for that answer, only three words came out of her husband's mouth.
"Em ..we go to Semarang yuk Mas, pilgrimage to mother's tomb!" bring Light, he'd love to go to mother's grave. Because he hasn't been there in a long time. The sky glanced at his wife, the look on his face like a sad man. Makes her feel pity and unable, if she sees the face of ayu is dim.
"God willing, we're going there."
The light was overjoyed, because of her husband's reply. Smiles continue to be drawn. The sky saw that. In his innermost heart was also pleasure, seeing the person who had been accompanying him for almost a month sleeping.
The clock shows eleven o'clock. The light is asleep. Different from that woman. The young man is still awake. Looking at his wife's face while sleeping was the young man's routine now. I don't know why there was such happiness in the young man's heart. Slowly the young man kissed the cheek. His wife's lips always smile when kissed.
"Beautiful dream of Az-zahra!" he said, whispering in his wife's ear.
"Fine jewelry is a good wife."
This young man was asleep hugging the bolster. He never hugged his wife while sleeping. It was the first night because there was thunder and when staying overnight at the house of Agam Ariaja because the mattress was small.
