Watching You With Do'A

Chapters. 01: Return to Home

Along the way from Adi Sucipto Airport, the face of Umar always looks moody. The tall-bodied, white, sharp-nosed and long-haired shoulder-length young man was silent, not at all responding to the talk of the santri kang who picked him up to the airport.

Umar's gaze was fixed far ahead and expressionless, like there was a discrepancy with his return to the homeland this time. Until the entire journey that traversed for more than an hour, only silence was created in the iron horse that drove slowly brought the gus Umar back to his hometown.

Yes, gus Umar has just completed his S1 studies in Medina. Initially, Kyai Abdullah's eldest son wanted to continue his studies until post-graduate. But the grandfather told him to go home soon, because Umar had been betrothed to a girl who was the grandson of his grandfather's friend.

After a long time on the paved highway, the car driven by the santri kang also arrived at the residence kyai Abdullah. Kang santri immediately parked the car and after it was parked perfectly, the santri immediately went down and then opened the car door for the son of the kyai, "gus, we've arrived," he said slowly while gently patting the arm of Umar, when he found that Umar's gus was still silent and looked dreamy in his seat in the back seat.

"Hmm," Umar immediately regained his senses from the daydream and responded to the santri kang with just a murmur, the son of kyai Abdullah then got off the car lazily. Gus Umar stood glued and stared blankly ahead, whereas on the terrace of the residence of Kyai Abdullah, the santri had stood with reverence to welcome his arrival. But Gus Umar, like not seeing their existence.

"Monggo, Gus," the santri kang immediately led the gus Umar, to enter the ndalem the kyai.

Kyai Abdullah and nyai Robi'ah walked in a hurry to meet the presence of the son in the living room, "Alhamdulillah. Umi kangen the same until," greeted Robi'ah by stretching out both hands, embracing the body of the son and hugging his son with longing.

At once the face of Umar who was cold, now reviews the smile to welcome the embrace of the Umi.

"Umar also misses Umi," replied Umar as he released the embrace of the Umi, "Umi is healthy?" ask Gus Umar, while staring warmly at the shady netra nyai Robi'ah.

Nyai Robi'ah nodded, "Alhamdulillah, Gus. As you can see, Umi is healthy wal-afiat," the umi replied with a warm smile, patting gently the solid back of the son.

"Didn't you miss the same, Gus?" sindir Kyai Abdullah who looked jealous, saw the warmth of the son and his wife.

Gus Umar smiled broadly at his brother, who still looked handsome in his old age. The old face was more dignified and the gaze of his eyes was so shady, that it could calm anyone who saw. "Of course Umar kangen with a man as old as Umi's favorite," reply Umar jokingly, and then hugged his brother so tightly.

"Sampean says, is this old?" the brother protested after breaking his embrace, "yes, your age is already old, Gus. But abah is still able to hold your Umi to surround the Kaaba," quipped the abah, by glancing at the wife.

Yes, kyai Abdullah and his wife intend to perform Umrah worship again with their two daughters, son, if his eldest son had returned home and before gus Umar married the girl who was betrothed to him.

"Gus, let's go inside" the mumi said, holding her beloved son, the two of them then entered the family room.

Kyai Abdullah could only follow the two from behind muttering, "wah, abah will lose competitiveness with you, Gus ...."

"Umi can still hear Abah's words" said nyai Robi'ah, turning to her husband. The three of them then sat comfortably on the sofa, in the living room of Kyai Abdullah's residence.

"Ah abah, most Umi behaved like this to Umar also only until later in the afternoon. In the evening, Umi will forget about Umar for the sake of her beloved husband," replied Umar, smiling ignorantly at the Umi, who was sitting right next to her.

"You are Gus, even menggeledek umi," nyai Robi'ah mengewer soft ear of the son, pretending to be angry. Though in the heart, the mother of two children is very happy, because it has two men of different generations who are very affectionate and understand him.

Kyai Abdullah chuckled slightly, hearing his son's joke that made the wife's youthful face red.

The two girls immediately greeted Abdullah and his wife, kissing the backs of the parents' hands in reverence.

One of the girls then approached Gus Umar, greeted the handsome young man who was always smiling and then immediately hugged him. "Sister Umar is evil, want to go home do not love the news first with Laila," protested the girl with spoiled, who turned out to be the younger brother gus Umar.

Gus Umar let go of the brother's ever spoiled embrace on him and then gently rattled the top of Laila's head covered in a white hijab, "sorry Dik, his brother came home impromptu. So do not have time to buy you souvenirs," said Gus Umar sad, recalling his forced return because of an arranged marriage that he did not want at all.

Especially in front of him now, stood a girl who kept her eyes down and hid her sweet smile. A young girl, who was secretly liked by Gus Umar and always called his name in every do'a in the sky the eldest son of the kyai Abdullah.

Gus Umar could only look at the girl with all the sadness of his heart, destroyed already the hope that he had always cultivated. The desire to express his deep feelings to his brother's friend, when later Gus Umar already holds a bachelor's degree and can already work.

Laila who does not know the arranged marriage plan of the brother, frown, "other time if the sister wants to go home again, the same news Laila, huh? You see Laila pein bought a hijab that was twinned with Aida," the girl was spoiled, with eyes begging her older brother.

Feeling his name, the girl who had lowered her head raised her face and a second later Aida blushed in shame.

For a while, the two different types of people looked at each other and seemed to chat in silence.

Until Robi'ah's voice, disperse the second daydream, "your brother will not return to Medina, Ning. Because gus Umar is getting married."

"What's? Be married? Who's it with, Umi?" Laila cecar on the umi, who was very surprised to hear the news that the brother would be betrothed.

Laila glanced intently at her sister and then looked at Aida, her best friend with a difficult look. "I'm sorry Da," she whispered inwardly.

While Aida, the girl directly lowered her face deeply.
