(Not) My Crown Ruler

03:00 in the morning...

"fabiayyi a la irobbikuma tukadziban..."

The sound was flowing melodiously in the middle of the rain that was slowly beginning to subside. The chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an echoed from within the room of Anisa's boarding house from the last fifteen minutes. Something that could be faintly heard faintly by the sharp ears of Louis Edgar Davis who was still curled up on the long chair of the terrace of the boarding house.

The clock shows at three in the morning. Since then, the man's eyes have not been able to close. The cold gets stronger. The rain has not yet stopped. Betrand's assistant could not be reached. Either bad luck or hockey for Louis. He was stuck on the terrace of Anisa's room all night. Luckily, the pregnant woman was quite attentive. He gave her warm food and drinks as well as dolls and blankets to accompany Louis' cold night.

Louis, who could not sleep, got up. He walked, swinging his legs around the terrace while moving his hands as if exercising for warmth.

Arrived, arrived,

Chequek...

The door to the room was open. The woman with the white face appeared again from behind the door of the room, making Louis turned to her.

The man smiled. "What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

"Have you not slept all night?" ask Anisa. Louis was silent for a moment, then smiled at the woman who seemed to have not slept that night either.

"You don't think you're sleeping either?" louis said as if asking back.

Anisa. "I can't sleep!" said later.

Louis chuckles. He walked up to Anisa and sat her body on the long wooden chair.

"Is my existence bothering you?" tanyakanya.

Anisa did not answer. He looks down. "It's too cold outside" he said.

Louis did not answer. He just smiled as he put his eyes straight ahead. The man then took a long breath.

"Nis," he said.

"Yes" answered Anisa who was standing at the door.

"Did your neighbor and your hostess know you were pregnant?" ask Louis.

Anisa was silent for a moment. Louis looked over, though,

"Salma's aunt and Almeer's sister know" the woman said.

"Sister Almeer?" ask Louis.

"Laki man who a few days ago had met when you nganterin I buy fruit," said Anisa.

Louis lifted his chin. "Ooo.." she answered with a beard.

The mood was silent for a moment.

"Nis" said Louis.

"Yes" answered Anisa again.

"I'm worried that you will become the gossip material of people when your stomach has begun to grow later. I'm afraid you're in the bully" Louis said.

Anisa was silent for a moment. The two human children looked at each other. It's true what Louis said. In a few months, Anisa's stomach will definitely swell. While all this time he always told people that he was here as a worker, although he never explained where he worked it.

"Nisa" said Louis.

Anisa was silent, staring at that handsome face.

"Do you want to stay in my apartment?" asked Louis to offer.

"I have an apartment that I rarely live in. The place is more worthy there. Your privacy is also more secure. And surely I can more freely monitor you there."

"What's not, I just don't want you to stress here if one day your neighbor knows about your pregnancy. Your status is not married. I'm afraid it will affect the health of your fetus" Louis said, trying to give Anisa some understanding.

Anisa quiet.

"I have no other meaning. Let's just say this is part of my responsibility as you are" the man said.

Louis smiled. "Yes, it's up to you. As ready as you are," said the man later.

Anisa nodded. Louis smiled so sweetly. He then lifted his leg, changing his position cross-legged on the long chair of the terrace facing Anisa.

"Oh yes, thank you, have my minjemin blanket the same doll. I'm not too cold tonight" Louis said.

Anisa smile. "I'm not that bad you freeze here" he said.

Louis chuckles.

"You like dolls? I saw your WhatsApp story yesterday" Louis said, asking the woman to talk while waiting for the morning. Both are equally unable to sleep.

Anisa also answered Louis's question. The conversation was getting warmer for a long time. The two dissolve in togetherness even though with a distance that is not so close. Louis was on his long chair, while Anisa was now seen leaning on the door frame still with a face attached to her body.

The conversation both just flowed. Discussing this, here and there, casually and occasionally interspersed with light laughter. Louis managed to melt the atmosphere. Making Anisa feel comfortable sharing her story with the man who is not the beheader of her crown.

Till....

"Allahu Akbar's.... Allah Akbar....."

Kumandang adzan dawn echo. It did not feel like it had been long enough for the two human children to tell each other on the terrace of the boarding room.

"Udah adhan," said Anisa.

"Alhamdulillah" answered Louis. Anisa held her sitting position.

"Nis" said Louis.

"Yes" answered Anisa.

"I can pray in your house, right?" ask Louis.

Anisa remained silent. He did not expect to get such questions from the rapist's man*sa.

Anisa smiled faintly, then nodded. It feels inappropriate if he obstructs or forbids someone to worship in his home.

Louis rises. "You can take a shower, right? It was the habit of bathing before dawn" said the man again.

Anisa smiled, then nodded. "Please," he replied.

Louis smiled sweetly. "Thank you, yes" he answered.

Anisa nodded. He then shifted his body position, as if giving way for the man to enter his boarding room.

Louis went into the room. While Anisa now seems to approach the long chair there. Grabbing blankets, dolls, dishes, and dirty glasses that are there. The woman then took him into the room. Put the blanket and doll on the mattress and bring the plate and glass into the small kitchen next to the bathroom. The sound of water was heard there. A sign of Louis is now cleaning his sturdy body in the bathroom that is not so spacious.

Anisa approached a basket beside the bed. A basket of green clothes containing clothing clothing that is not how much. Anisa pulled a black shirt from there. A t-shirt that is owned by Louis that he had washed some time ago because of a coffee spill. In addition, he also took a prayer mat from there.

Not long after, Louis came out of the bathroom wearing only his trousers. Anisa who was still crouching in front of the basket of clothes then lowered her gaze. Put the black shirt and the prayer mat on the mattress.

"The clothes change equally if you want all prayers," said Anisa. Louis with a white towel wrapped around his neck was smiling. Near him was the mattress, then grabbed the black t-shirt lying there and put it on.

"Thank you!" said it.

"The dirty clothes put it there. I'll wash it again" said Anisa.

Louis just smiled. He then grabbed his sajad.

"Sholat together, yuk!" take Louis.

Anisa looking up. The man appears to have raised both eyebrows briefly. Anisa lowered her head while blushing in embarrassment. He then nodded. Both of them walked to the living room. Hold their prayer mats on a clean mat there and begin to establish the same morning worship.
