come to that moment where this story is being started.
Gusts
the wind is still fresh even on the road, the beautiful sound of birds chirping in the morning
adding to the calm atmosphere, I saw the figure of a girl standing not far from me, her face

able to penetrate the thick jacket he wears, “excuse me.” a middle-aged man.
approaching her, the woman looked at her face

The woman smiled and followed with a dimple
his cheeks that add ayu on his face “ fisa have long been waiting here

stop, these eyes don't turn to another view and still see it go
to the invisible, and I remain here,

changed but freshness and natural beauty is still awake “pak eunuch,” “iya

“lho, yes aden, this is the birthplace of aden”
“i'm very amazed, eunuch sir, even though I've

I am still confused by what I see, though,
everything was still the same, I approached the swing and held it “right eunuch sir,

my little friends” I smile haru.
“morning sir eunuch,, (while waving

since the departure of both parents Aden has not changed, it's just that,, he said
Adi is now dangling to the country people because of the economic conditions of the family”
adi
is one of my relatives here, his mother is my father's third sister,
“doesn't my father's late have donated a large portion of his property to his family
?”
“you
know what kind of family they are” I just keep quiet not returning words
from the eunuch sir, in my heart I spoke silently silently thanking him for his service
mr. eunuch who has been looking after me since childhood until now, mr. eunuch
working for a long time at the father's house, a native eunuch who moved to
the island of Sumatra after his only child returned home to eternity, he and his
his wife was devastated by what happened to them in addition
eonomically submissive conditions, ahir eunuch sir decided to move to
Sumatra until finally met my father, now a eunuch and his wife
settled here, although he is not our family yet he is already me
think of it like my own family. He has great respect for the father
having helped his family, his wife loved me very much, he considered me to be like his own son.
“tungu sir,” I stopped my step,
my eyes were fixed on the figure of the middle-aged woman who was in her field, without
many words I was langsug approached her, “assalamu’alaikum,” the middle-aged woman
flipping body “wa’alaikum sa.lam” he was surprised, and immediately ran
hugging me “my son,,,hasan,,,” I kissed his hand, his eyes dripping with water

from the eunuch sir, the eunuch sir approached “ayo we go home, we prepare food

towards my house liahat ma'am sanah's face was very excited, he reverberated.
arriving at the yard he rushed to open the door of the house “ let's just masu kiddo
aden, where's your bag let mamak bring it, mom's hand grabbed the bag yag
I took it, and took it to my room, before long ma'am went to the kitchen and came back
following me and the eunuch sir with a tray and containing drinking water, “lama
it's true you, son, didn't come here when you were gonna stay here, this is your house,
it doesn't feel good if we're the only ones staying here”
“what's wrong, think of it like home
alone, if not mamak and mr. eunuch who else will take care of
this place, after all my father and mother, there's nothing to take care of
everyone, I am also very grateful to my mother and eunuch sir, thank you
already willing to help my father, and everything”
“what son, we should have
thank you for your father and your family for helping us,”
mak sanah while pouring water to the glass, “ayo drunk first”
In the midst of our conversation, someone
knocking on the door “excuse me. mak sanah” mak sanah open the door and talk in
doorway, my hands take a glass on the table and drink it, “aden, I
stay first to the house of the hamlet sir take care of the farm trough” pak kasim while
go “pak kasim,,,” my voice
a little hard, until mak sanah and his guests turned “what is aden ?“ I'm approaching
mr. eunuch “ini all pak” I thrust a medium-sized cardboard “what is this

lainya”
“why ndak aden himself
give them all a visit to them”
“what no eunuch sir, tomorrow I will go there, want to rest first” my feet step to the side of the door,
“nak, mak stay first, rest, before long mak will return”
mak sanah went with his guests and for a moment they were invisible,
my hand grabbed the door algae when the door was almost closed
call in
“excuse me,! Wait !” hurry I opened the door again and saw who came, I did not expect.he was the woman I saw at the stop “sorry to disturb” I was a little stunned undisturbed, the woman approached
“sorry to interrupt, I found out where is he there ?” he said that
softly made me silent, though,
“sorry, you listened to me ?” I realized “eh..maksanah just left, something I helped ?”
“i just inggin give a deposit from my mother to mak sanah, can you give it” while giving a closed container made of bamboo, immediately my hand grabbed it “well,”
“thanks” he smiles until his dimples are visible, his eyes are bright
touch his motherhood,
“i resigned, excuse” his alus behavior, made my heart calm, he stepped away, these eyes did not change his gaze, while the sannah mak came they were peaceful as he came down from the stairs.
“nafis, what son is here ?”
“oh it's mak, my mother gave parcel” he turned, accidentally our eyes looked at each other, immediately he looked at mak sannah
“ya I already said goodbye
in the past” he left, but these eyes did not turn away from him, mak sanah smiled, not aware mak sanah already near me, “ayu really hasan”while entering the house, I still did not realize, I was still not aware,
“iya mak, uh what mak, “ mak I answered a little nervous, mak sanah lips singed a smile, and I followed mak sanah
“look at you earlier did not multiply the view” while taking the bigkisan woven bamboo that I hold, I stepped into the room
“maybe it's just a coincidence hasan looked at him, mak,,,” my hand held the algae of the room door and opened it “nak,” I turned
“you can't lie to your mak this” while laughing
“whatever, mak,” immediately I turned my face and secretly I smiled to myself when closing the room door.
In the afternoon I decided to go with you
to lading, mak sanah had refused me to follow he said he was not happy I just came from the island far must be tired. But it did not work for me, I continued to force to join the field and help mak sanah.
After visiting the fields this afternoon, it feels tired approaching the bones of the feet, this long night I spent to fully containahat because tomorrow will be a long trip to visit relatives' homes. A long night like passing by, I woke up in a third of the night, I opened the window of the room, still quiet, only the sound of night animals were heard, I looked at the moon
the night of light is so comforting, how wonderful this creation of God is.
Slowly I breathe this fresh air, cool, very different from living in a big city, at this hour the air is very different because it is contaminated with air pollution, I look again at the moon that night, I was very different, once again I enjoy the creation of God today, I breathe the air so cool, and I close
slowly these eyes, calm down.
In a moment, the calm disappeared. Replaced with the shadowy figure of a woman this morning, her father's face with a sweet smile coupled with her dimples added beauty to her face, very pure. I immediately opened my eyes again. Awakening to what I just experienced. I rubbed my face with my hands, while exhaling a small breath I smiled in disbelief. My heart was bewitched by her. "nafisa"
