I got my room pass prepared by Aunt Lidya.
Comfortable room even if only accompanied by a fan. Sayup-sayup heard the sound of crickets singing. Can I stay in this place for a long time?
I'm not sleepy yet, my eyes are not closed. I just stared at the ceiling of this room. There is a longing in my room that is always neatly arranged, cold as well as various forms of dolls that accompany my sleep.
I play my phone. Open the blue logo app. Some friends asked for friendship. One of them is Erik Subagio. I clicked on his profile picture of a black sports car.
Is this that jerk? Why would he send me a friend request? Didn't he dig a wound in my heart.
Male wife!
I shook my head, "you don't deserve me." I muttered while blocking an account called Erik subagio.
Because of you, now I am in this village. Because I have to fight move on. Because you... All because of you!
However, Erik, some months know him, some months often spend time together. It's not easy for me to just forget about it.
Ah, why am I ensnared in the love of a married man? My mind is in revolt and refuses. I hit the mattress with all my strength to release the resentment that was running through my heart
" Zah what are you doing?" Mom asked surprised me.
" Eh mama, are you there long?" I asked back to cover my shame .
" Mama's in?" Without waiting for my answer, my mother came in and sat beside this bed.
" The mattress is not wrong baby.don't be hit, the mattress will cry." Canda mom.
" What the hell is ma?" I pretended not to understand what Mom said.
" Mommy knows you're a joke? Do you know you're not ready to live here? Mama know you're not that easy to move on from that married man, either?"
I'm terplongo astonished. Why can my mom read my mind? Does your mother have a sixth sense?
I smiled a little Imagine mama could have a sixth Indra.
" Hey, even the smiles are not clear." My mom surprised me again.
I just grimaced to look at my mom.
" Correct mama's guess? Mama doesn't have the sixth Indra, but because she was the first person to feel you growing in your belly, she was the first person to love you since you grew up in your belly. Mom is..." Mama did not continue her words. Mama rubbed her watery eyes.
" Mommy is the best mom for Zahra." My welcome.
We hugged together. I don't know why the mood is sad.
" Zah, mom and dad told you to stay here so you could get away from the married man you and our family are ashamed of. You know, how hard Mama took you off here. But I'm sure this place is the best place for you."
" Mommy need not worry, Insha Allah zahra can be a woman who like mama expected. Accompany Zahra sleep tonight huh!" Spoiled my love.
And tonight is a night that makes me sleep soundly because of the embrace of a mother who has sincere love like my mother.

This is my second day at my grandmother's house. Today my mom and dad are going back to Jakarta.
Mom and Dad are ready. Om iwan will take papa and mama to the airport.
This is the saddest moment for me, because it's the first time I've ever parted ways with mom and dad.
Papa hugged me, rubbed my hair and kissed my forehead lovingly, then whispered "well stay here huh..! Make no mistake if you want to fall in love. Remember papa's message."
I scowl because papa's back on me.
Now it's my turn to shake hands with my mom. Broke the cry I held since.
" It's okay, baby... Mama must have missed you." Mama's words held back her tears from spilling.
I was like a heavy take off mom. I want to go with them back to Jakarta.
Mom and Dad got in the car. I waved my hand as a sign of farewell.
Please take care of my mom and dad my prayers in your heart.
Papa and Mama's car is gone. I went into the house with my grandmother. We chatted and laughed occasionally reminiscing about the past.
(Ma, if you have not forgotten to tell Zahra yes!)
I sent a short message to my mom.
The tring..!
A reply from my mom came in.
(Dear, my mom is getting ready to get on a plane. Take good care of your child.Mama loves you forever. )
I sent a message back to my mom.
(Zahra also loves mom and dad. Send us your latest photos dong ma! Photo with papa!)
The tring..! Return a message from mom.
Photo mama and papa, hand papa embrace shoulder mama smile both towards me.
(Mama's mobile phone is dead)
Careful mama....

Today I was playing mobile in my room. Several posts milling around in my room to express my condolences for the plane to Jakarta that exploded because it failed to land.
Dugm! My heart stopped beating.
I instantly remembered my mother and father who had not told me.
I ran out of the room screaming,
" Grandma.... Aunt.....!" I've been like an infidelity.
The granny and aunt who were chatting were shocked, "what's up Zah?" Compact grandma and aunty together.
" Look at the news!" I ran to the front of the tv followed by Lidya's grandmother and aunt.
And sure enough, on television it has been crowded to report the plane headed Pekanbaru-Jakarta just exploded because it failed to land.
My kakaiku felt weak unable to stand up to just support my body.
I've slumped on the floor, "mama..! Papa..!"'s chat...!" Call me repeatedly.
Aunt Lidya immediately called mom and dad's number but it's all out of reach.
My grandmother and I were hysterical. My grandmother's neighbors started to ask me what was going on.
My tongue feels like a joke. Only my tears will not stop.
Suddenly aunty Lidya's phone rang, I still heard aunt Lidya mention the name om Iwan. Aunt Lidya walked away to the back to receive a call.
I'm still sitting in front of the tv with some of my grandmother's neighbors. They also said that I was patient and would not stop praying that mom and dad would be safe and not be on the plane.
Aunt Lidya came and approached me, "Zah, om Iwan will fly to Jakarta to make sure mom and dad are in good shape. Many pray for their salvation." Aunt Lidya's voice shakes.
I hugged Aunt Lidya, my only papa sister. My crying broke. I cried as much as I could on Aunt Lidya's chest.
The night was getting colder, the neighbors were also home. There are three of us in this house. I slept with Grandma. I saw Grandma was fast asleep. While I'm still awake. My thoughts were only with my mom and dad. What is ma. pa doing? Zahra kangenh! I have sent many messages, but there is no reply I have received. All of my messages are still one tick which means they have not been sent because my mom and dad's cell phone numbers are not active.
It's three in the morning but I still can't sleep. I got up from the bed to get water. I perform tahajud prayers. Ask the khalik so that mom and dad are still alive and always in good health.

It was morning, the sun was still hiding behind the black clouds. It looks like the weather is cloudy and it will rain.
I turned on the television watching the news on tv with Lidya's grandmother and aunt.
I heard the host will mention the names listed on the plane victims. Dag dig dug's heart is erratic. I pray in my heart hoping that the names of my mom and dad are not there.
And it turns out....?
