Aksara For Arsyilla

Aksara For Arsyilla
First Morning


The thick of the night passed by the newly married couple without colliding in the same bed. The two choose to spend the first night of their wedding sleeping in their rooms. The wedding bed on the first night was cold, there was no crib of love, the act of delights to the peak of romance, there was only a snuggling sleep letting a thick roll and blanket accompany the two.


That morning, Arsyilla woke up early. The woman cleaned her body first. After that he sat on the edge of his bed while drying his wet hair after shampooing using a small towel.


Usually, this early morning already smelled the aroma of Tea brewed by Mama.


Papa often reads the news on his tablet while waiting for Mama in the kitchen.


Baked bread with melted margarine, and Papa's favorite omelette that is always served at the dinner table. Now, the mood of the morning was no more …


Suddenly, a tear just fell and wetted Arsyilla's face. Then he put his towel, tidied his half-wet hair with a comb, then intended to get out of his room to the kitchen, say he knew there was something he could eat.


With a gontai step, Arsyilla walked into the kitchen. The first place he opened was that high-sized two-door fridge, hoping that when the refrigerator door opened, he could find something to eat. Unfortunately, the hope is in vain because in the closet there is only water cooled. There is absolutely no food. Arsyilla sighed, her stomach was hungry, but there was nothing to eat.


However, Arsyilla did not give up, she then opened the kitchen cabinet. A little tiptoe, to reach the inside of the kitchen cabinet.


“What are you looking for?” tanya Aksara who suddenly sounded with a hoarse voice typical of sleeping people.


“Mie instances.” Arsyilla answered quickly, only time she could find instant noodles in the kitchen.


Aksara then walked towards the kitchen, standing behind Arsyilla, until his chest hit Arsyilla's back.


“There is nothing here,” replied Aksara as his hand also moved to reach what was in his kitchen cabinet.


The legs of Arsyilla who was originally on tiptoes, finally dropped perfectly on the floor. His hope of finding food was futile, because in the kitchen of the luxury apartment there was nothing.


“You hungry? Let me buy you breakfast below,” said Aksara who offered to buy Arsyilla breakfast.


After all, in his apartment he did live alone. Therefore, he does not store food in the refrigerator and in the kitchen. He thought it was enough to buy food outside and then go back to his apartment to sleep.


“What food do you like? Let me buy it, it's under this apartment a lot of breakfast sellers,” said Aksara again.


Nevertheless, Arsyilla is still silent, all breakfast menu he eats is usually processed food home made by his mother. Now, having to buy breakfast tastes so strange.


However, Arsyilla did not have time to answer, Aksara apartment doorbell sounded.


Ting Tong's …


“After I open the door first,” said Aksara who then moved to open the door of his apartment that sounded.


“Halo ... morning Aksa,” greetings from Mother Kanaya who turned out that morning came to her son's apartment.


“Halo Daddy,” greetings from Thania who turned out to be with Mother Kanaya to meet Aksara.


“Eh, hi. hello Dear Thania,” say Aksara and directly carry Thania, and kiss Thania cheek.


The sight of how Aksara who carried Thania and also looked to love Thania, actually made his heart like a container in there. However, a Daddy's affection for his own daughter is indeed that big, regardless of the tragedy of the marriage that may have occurred.


“Hai, Arsyilla,” greet Mother Kanaya while hugging her daughter-in-law.


Arsyilla nodded and hugged her mother-in-law back, “Morning Mother,” said in a soft voice.


“What are you doing in the kitchen?” ask Mother Kanaya to Arsyilla.


Mother Kanaya also laughed, “Makanya Aksa, yesterday it went home first to Mother's house. Or spend the night at Mama Khaira and Papa Radit's house, it's no problem. Poor daughter-in-law Mother in the morning was hungry,” said Mother Kanaya while smiling at Arsyilla and also glancing at Aksara.


Then, Mother Kanaya took something out of her paper bag. Yellow rice complete with side dishes in the form of orek tempe, thinly sliced omelet, potatoes, and also fried chicken together.


“Already, this breakfast first, Son .. fill your empty stomach. Your husband is not responsible. Aksa, today is still a holiday, right? Shopping there with his wife, the kitchen is now filled with groceries. Now you do not live alone,” the Mother's advice to her son.


Aksara also nodded, “Iya Mommy, later I shop to the same supermarket Wife,” she replied by glancing at Arsyilla.


“Onty, Onty is already his wife Daddy well?” tanya Thania who suddenly asked Arsyilla.


Arsyilla was silent, actually reluctant to answer the question. But, he just nodded.


“Thania, we go home first yuk. Let your Daddy and Onty have breakfast first, we stop by his practice Opa ya,” take Mother Kanaya to Thania.


Again, Arsyilla muttered in her heart.


Thania called the Father Bhishma Opa, meaning obviously the little girl dong was her son Aksara, and her grandson Mother Kanaya and the Father of Bhishma. Actually, who the hell is this guy in front of me. Should I ask now? Why does everything feel so confusing.


“Already well, Mother and Thania home. You are well both,” farewell from Mother Kanaya.


However, just a few steps Mother Kanaya walked, the middle-aged woman again snapped her footsteps and turned to look at Aksara and Arsyilla.


“Ah, yes ..Mommy almost forgot, this is a honeymoon gift from Mother and Father. Your desire to enjoy the calm sea atmosphere, right Aksa? Take his wife to go on honeymoon, and go home immediately bring good news for Daddy and Mommy,” he said while handing over a white envelope.


Aksara smiled and nodded, “Makasih Mommy,” replied by receiving the envelope.


“Enjoy your honeymoon even if only in the country, at least it can be just a walk and get to know each other. Besides, you didn't take time off from college either, did you, Arsyilla? This weekend, go for a walk with your husband,” said Mother Kanaya who is like an order for Arsyilla.


“Ya Mother,” replied Arsyilla while nodding.


***


After the death of Mother Kanaya and Thania …


Aksara and Arsyilla both sit and enjoy their breakfast brought by Mother Kanaya. Both are silent.


“This time we are shopping for groceries huh?” take Aksara to his wife who is sitting in front of him.


“Hmm,” sahut Arsyilla quickly.


“Buy vegetables and fruits too,” says Aksara again.


“Hmm,” say again.


“Next week we honeymoon huh?” The script speaks again. As for the words this time, there was no reply from Arsyilla. The woman actually seemed to have difficulty swallowing the yellow rice that was still chewed.


Seeing the funny behavior of Arsyilla, Aksara actually smiled and handed a glass of water to Arsyilla, “Drink first, you should also answer ‘hmm,’ so you do not have trouble swallowing it.” Aksara spoke by shaking her head, she smiled looking at that figure of Arsyilla.


“Ah, the beauty of the newlyweds .. next week honeymoon,” said the man while highlighting the red face of his wife.


Letting his wife who might be emotional, but he was actually happy because at least in this apartment now he is not alone, there are people he can call in this apartment.
