Asiyah End Times
House Board

Standing in front of their new contract.

Abi, Umi, Asiyah, Aisyah and Ali. They looked at the rickety hut. Long time. Almost half an hour. Tacit. Fixated. Without movement.

They're neatly lined up.

Abi sat on his wheelchair, with his hands stiff, his lips pinched. Abi saw his new home. The tears of Abi. Abi cannot please his wife and children for now.

Umi just stood still staring at his fate which is now right in front of his eyes. Umi still could not believe that he would live in a place like this.

Asiyah also looked at the house, occasionally looking at Umi. Asiyah knew very well this was heavy for Umi, she also felt the same way. But it seems that Umi is less steadfast in dealing with this situation. Asiyah was afraid that Umi could not survive.

Asiyah must be tough. Asiyah could not show her sorrow to Umi and all. Enough of the circumstances that become their mental burden at this time. If Asiyah can not help change their current situation at least Asiyah can be a tranquilizer for the hearts of those who are stricken with fragility.

Asiyah looked towards Aisha and Ali. His spoiled little brothers. They even play running and spinning under the tree next to the rickety house. They are not yet fully aware of the changes in this condition. Maybe later, in two or three days Ayesha and Ali will be aware of the collapse of the luxury wall that has been fortifying them.

Aisyah and Ali could not stand for long in front of the house. What do you want Abi, Umi and Kak Asiyah to look at the house? For a long time, it is better to play under a tree.

Ali invited Aisyah to play under a large mango tree next to the house. There's a swing on the branch. The swing is a word that has a rented house, used to be made by residents who contracted here before, for their child's playground. Now they have their own home. Only his swing hangs, no one plays.

Alhamdulillahot. Asiyah smiled looking at those who had been swinging around alternately playing the tire swing.

This is a gift to little Aisha and little Ali from Allah, Asiyah thought. It's so innocent of them. They do not understand anything about what is happening to this family. Just play his job. Laughs. Umi and Abi can only cry.

Abi and Umi once told a story, said Abi, Umi was beautiful when she was young. Abi married Umi when Abi was 41, while Umi was 19.

Abi is a widower without children. Abi's wife who died because there was a disease in her womb. Abi said there is a disease anyway, Abi did not explain the details of what the disease.

Umi comes from a family whose economic life is fairly simple, in contrast to Abi, Abi comes from a family of wealthy villages, almost luxurious. So after High School Umi prefers to get married rather than having to continue his education. There is no cost, Umi said. Grandma and Grandpa are just odd jobs, both of whom are now dead.

Abi wandered into the city to start his business. This is where Abi found his soul mate, ranging from his first wife to marry for the second time with Umi.

So the story goes, Abi and Umi got married because they were betrothed by her friend Abi, initially. One year later, Abi and Umi fall in love with each other.

Abi is a man who sincerely loves Umi. Umi is a good woman who looks beautiful. Abi did not care about Umi's family background at all. Similarly, Umi, Abi's sincerity is also reciprocated with sincerity by Umi. Umi accepted Abi as she was with her dual status at that time and with her age much older than Umi.

At that time Abi was an ordinary businessman, his company did produce, but the profits were still mediocre.

At that time Abi started a business in the field of trade. Abi sells agricultural fertilizers managed by a small-scale management company owned by Abi.

Abi marries Umi after one year of Umi graduating high school, certainly after they both really feel confident to step into the.

After marrying Umi, Abi's company grew rapidly. Abi pioneered his business not only in the sale of fertilizer but also penetrated many other agricultural products.

One year married, Asiyah was born. Alhamdulillah complete already the happiness of Abi and Umi with the presence of Asiyah. A child who is cursed. Especially Abi, because with his first wife Abi did not have children until his first wife died.

Abi said, all the success of his business now is the sustenance of Umi and Asiyah, so Abi's business became smooth and developed. The sustenance of Umi and Asiyah is good, Abi said.

Abi is a kind and loving man, so Umi can fall in love with Abi. Umi is always spoiled by Abi. Abi was also the one who always listened with pleasure all complained Umi.

Qadarullah. now Umi's life changed 180o.

The world is upside down. His mansion turned into a board hut. Ngontract. Umi can no longer be candid to do body care. Usually Umi always routinely treat herself kesalon.

Now everything can no longer. Take a walk with friends. Arisan. Everything is just a memory. I don't know when it'll be like that again. Or maybe it can no longer be what it used to be.

It was like a dream.

Mr. Subroto deliberately chose this board for them to occupy. From the beginning Umi has said, the board is also okay.

Near the contract there is a Primary School. SD will be the place where Aisyah and Ali go to school. Aisyah and Ali can just walk back and forth from school to save money. No need to ride the ojek. There are a lot of school children walking there. So Ayesha and Ali need not be afraid.

Mr. Subroto has taken care of all his needs. They just stay in school. Everything is ready.

“Umi, why did Ali change schools Mi?” ask Ali.

“Iya Mi, so why do we stay at this house?” timpal Aisha.

Umi just kept quiet, staring at them.

Confused to answer what.

It was heartless to tell the truth to the twins. It is impossible to say, ‘We are broke Son and we are poor, from now on we have to get used to living in deprivation, schools in bad places, walking, walking, eat potluck and can not snack as much anymore.’ Ahhhh no no, it is impossible to explain everything like that, they also would definitely not be able to understand it fully.

Asiyah who saw her sisters cramming questions at Umi, came to them. Humble his body. Holding the hands of his two brothers. The two of them stood on the left and right sides of Asiyah, Asiyah looked them in the eyes one by one, trying to speak from heart to heart.

“We are only temporarily staying in this house dear, Ali and Aisyah are also only temporarily in school at this new school. Later if you already have a job, in shaa Allah we will move from here as soon as possible, you must be patient,” explained Asiyah, a smile full of tenderness on her two spoiled twin sisters.

It's okay to lie a little, to appease his sisters, hopefully soon be able to move out of this house. Though I don't know when Asiyah can bring them to move from this house, let alone looking for a job it is not something that is easy for Asiyah.

“But when are you Sis? Aisyah bitten by this mosquito from here,” Aisyah complains. Just arrived too. There hasn't been an hour sitting inside this plank house.

It turned out that they were aware earlier with all these circumstances. Do not have to wait a day or two to stay in this board rental. They began to realize that they were now living in a house far from the word luxury and attending a school far from the word elite.

“Ali also do not want ahh school in SD that we saw earlier Mi, very ugly school, kayak cow pen,” continued Ali.

“Huusshh, Astarghfirullah.. Ali and Aisyah cannot say that, brothers and sisters are good children, must learn to be grateful, Monday tomorrow Aisyah and Ali will have started school in a new place, he said, should the spirit of dong yaa,” Asiyah smiled again, clutching her two younger siblings tightly.

Kiss them again their cheeks. Keep trying to encourage. Asiyah loved them very much.

Umi was still pensive in the living room chair loaned by the rented owner. Words that have, are okay, are used.

Abi was still sitting in his wheelchair, next to Umi. While Asiyah was busy giving her sisters an understanding of their current state.
