Watching You With Do'A

Chapters. 4: Banana Piping

Aida's answer with her trembling voice, kept ringing in Umar's ears. Without realizing it, his netra dewy and from the angle of his net dripped a clear grain.

Hurriedly gus Umar rubbed his face rough and lowered his head, so that the younger brother did not see his tears that came out without him being able to prevent.

Laila who had caught the sadness on the face of her beloved sister, shifted her seat and got closer to her brother. "Sister, Laila knows that she loves Aida too, and Laila knows for sure that she doesn't like arranged marriages, does she? If it's true that sister also loves Aida, why did you two just shut up? Why don't you guys fight for your love, brother, why?" Cecar Laila with the same question, as directed at his best friend.

Gus Umar looked up at his brother, "dik, not everything we want in this world can be realized, there are times when we have to accept other realities of what we want so that we learn to be sincere. Brother is sure,,, soul mate, rizqi and death are all His destiny and we must accept it freely in order for our lives to be quiet."

"What we think is good, true is not necessarily good for us, because God knows better what is best for His servant. And Allah has explained this in His word, _You may hate something, but it is very good for you and you may (also) like something, even though it is very bad for you. Allah knows, while you do not know_" (QS.Al-Baqarah, verse 216).

Laila nodded, understanding the brother's explanation.

A moment of silence greeted Umar's room, the brothers were each busy with their own thoughts.

"Sister, please think again?" Pinta Laila broke the silence as she moved, briefly staring at the brother's netra hazel with a look of hope, remembering the recording of the conversation of the sister and the girl of his dreams all this time.

Gus Umar and Aida have long been close, because Aida is a friend of Laila, and Gus Umar has also considered Aida like his own sister. But Aida's shy attitude since the girl began to grow up, making Umar become anxious at Laila's friend.

And when Gus Umar went to Medina to study there, a few months after his gus Umar began to feel an unusual longing. Not the feeling of longing as in umi or even in Laila, her sister, but longing for someone who has filled her days, she said, and Gus Umar just realized that himself may have fallen in love with the young girl's best friend from Laila.

Since then, Gus Umar often called his sister, because gus Umar knew.. Laila will definitely tell her daily life with Aida, and that is what Umar always misses. Even not infrequently, deliberately gus Umar make a video call if he misses the heavy greeting. And it can be ascertained, Laila will invite her best friend to join the conversation with Gus Umar although often Aida will only be a loyal listener while continuing to sing her sweet smile and look shyly at gus Umar.

From time to time Umar's love for Aida deepened, but the charismatic young man's eldest son Kyai Abdullah was still trying to hide his feelings. Gus Umar determined, will menghitah Aida if the right time later has arrived.

But what to say, destiny says another.gus Umar must accept the fact that his self has been betrothed, Gus Umar, and as a santri gus Umar has been accustomed to be educated to sendiko dawuh on kyai or his teacher. And the grandfather who betrothed gus Umar is a teacher for gus Umar, on his grandfather the little Umar studied teaching until he grew up a teenager and then continued his education to the Middle East.

A santri or student is required to always obey and obey the orders of kyai or his teacher, because. by obeying the teacher, will be an intermediary to obtain knowledge that is barokah and useful.

"Gus, what's the way you're still sleeping?"

Gus Umar woke up from the daydream, when he heard the Umi calling his name from outside the door of the room.

Gus Umar got up from the bed and walked towards the door of his room, "umi, what's wrong?" Ask Gus Umar, just after opening the door.

"Umi make a favorite banana compote sampean gus, let's enjoy with the still warm mumpung. Abah and your sister are already in the dining room, too," asked Robi'ah to her eldest son.

"Don't be long, it will be cold," umi Robi'ah soon passed leaving her son, and Gus Umar went back into the room to clean up before joining her family.

"Where's our son mi?" Ask kyai Abdullah to his wife, when he saw his wife had returned and was alone.

"You take a bath first said the bah," replied Robi'ah while sitting next to her husband.

"Just eat it bah, do not wait gus Umar," nyai Robi'ah serves a bowl of banana compote in front of the husband.

"Laila later take the noodles alone, want to wait for Brother Umar," said Laila when nyai Robi'ah thrust a bowl of banana compote on her.

"Hemm, yes, this is for umi first yes," nyai Robi'ah then pulled back the bowl and then immediately enjoyed his own handmade warm banana compote.

"Enak mi, luget and sweet like umi," praise kyai Abdullah on the work of the wife, as well as on the maker. And it makes the nyai Robi'ah blushed embarrassed, the article there is a daughter between the two of them.

Nyai Robi'ah also pinched her husband's thigh slowly while whispering, "pah ah, don't look around sikon when talking," his protest.

"Aw.. umi.. Why are you in the cubit?" Kyai Abdullah deliberately hardened his voice, making his nyai Robi'ah even more embarrassed to his daughter.

Laila smiled at the affection of her parents, and in her heart the beautiful girl prayed that she would be given a soul mate like her brother.. a male figure who is responsible and loves his family, and always be romantic with his wife.

"Ning, will you take this brother to Aunt Aini?" The nyai nyai Robi'ah on his daughter, trying to unravel the atmosphere that makes the nyai Robi'ah become misbehaved.

"Well angkot mi? Is this afternoon? Going home, how's Laila? The freight's gonna be out at half-five mi?"

Gus Umar, who was behind Laila, smiled, "let the brother between you dik," said Gus Umar suddenly, taking a seat right next to his sister.

Yes, gus Umar has heard the conversation of Umi and his sister since coming out of his room earlier. And he took the initiative to deliver the sister, because gus Umar was still curious to know the state of Aida after he heard the conversation of the girl and Laila through the voice recording earlier.

"Okay sister, if so we have to hurry brother.fear of hunting maghrib," said Laila enthusiastically, while taking a banana compote for his dear brother. Suddenly, an idea pops up in Laila's head to unite her brother and best friend.
