Asiyah End Times

Asiyah End Times
Just Silence


The suitcase exchange is complete.


Asiyah and Ashar stared at each other in silence. Momentary. Just silence. Pretending not to know each other. Until each of them left their place.


Ashar went back into the house. His face was confused. While Maryam could not escape in her gaze on Asiyah.


Asiyah slowly walked towards her car. A few meters from the door of the house to the car felt very far for Asiyah. The sky this afternoon seemed to be a witness to Asiyah's heart being confused.


Like drama movies. Starting from their first gaze to their farewell after this shocking short meeting, it ended with a slow motion scene.


Instantly lightning strikes. Lightning also shows its light splitting the sky. The sky water suddenly fell touching Asiyah's body. His drops slowly wetted his shady face, slowly, drop by drop. Still in the slow motion scene.


Asiyah entered her car with Caca, Cita and Pak Nomo.


"We go straight to the set, sir, will have the same lunch there," Asiyah said to Pak Nomo as soon as they were in the car.


"Subhanallah, so wet all of us yes, even though the distance is very close, just from the door of the house to the car," said Asiyah.


"Yes Ma'am, but it's okay, we all bring change of clothes, yes" continued Caca while shaking her clothes wet with rain.


Likewise with Cita and Asiyah, they tried to slightly dry the clothes attached to their bodies with the flick of their hands.


The rain is getting worse. The road is getting less clear from the windshield of that car. The car glass wiper keeps doing its job. Moving left and right, simultaneously. Gave a look of direction for Mr. Nomo to make the streets appear in his eyes.


"Be careful sir, it's raining so much" said Caca.


"Yes, the tree on the street until it bounces so blown by the wind," continued Cita.


"Siapp Ma'am, we're slow, it's also still what time, in shea Allah is not late to arrive at the location, the important thing is that our journey is safe" said Mr. Nomo.


As if not concerned with what was spoken by Caca, Cita and Pak Nomo, Asiyah preferred to be quiet.


Asiyah silently thought in her daydream. What kind of scenario is he playing? Asiyah was completely inexhaustible. He and Ashar were reunited by God in their own condition, without a partner. Even with a different status.


Caca and Cita begin to feel something strange with Asiyah. Caca, who was sitting next to Mr. Nomo, felt like he could not hear the voice of Asiyah as they chatted. Also with Cita sitting next to him, realizing the same thing.


After returning home from Dhirgham, Asiyah remained silent. The focus of his eyes was only on one point. Tuck his head on the edge of the car. As if not bored. As if there was no life around him. The look was empty. His eyes were open but his heart and mind were closed.


Cita pokes Caca's arm from behind. Code with his eyes glancing at Asiyah. Caca glanced at Madam Asiyah. Their thinking seems to be in line, that Mbak Asiyah is now not okay.


"It's really cold, it must be because of wearing wet clothes," said Cita.


"Yes, I'm also Cita" continued Caca.


"Ashiyah's sister isn't cold?" ask Cita.


Asiyah just kept quiet. Still in his daydream. Not paying attention to Cita at all.


Then Cita and Caca looked at each other again. What really happened to Asiyah? Think they.


The streets this afternoon were very dry. Though the waters of the sky have surrounded every vehicle, even whoever stands on the earth.


Long enough to get to the shooting location. Because the journey is too slow.


"We buy stock to eat at the location first, sir, in an ordinary place," Caca told Mr. Nomo.


"What would Asiyah eat?" ask Caca.


Asiyah was silent.


Caca saw Cita. Look at each other, again. "If You're a Thought?" caca asked quickly, switching her words earlier. Like Mbak Asiyah is still not aware of her daydream.


"Fish just bake Ca," replied Cita.


"Sir Nomo?" keep Caca on again.


"Same as Cita Mbak, but use sweet iced tea, Ma'am," replied Mr. Nomo.


"Well, it's cold like this to drink ice sir?" seloroh Caca's.


"Yes dry my throat feels Ma'am, hehee," replied Mr. Nomo.


The restaurant where they used to order food was close by. But Asiyah had not yet let out her voice.


"Hmmm.. Maam? What do you want to eat?" ask Cita slowly. A little touch Asiyah's arm. Trying to shake it.


"Eehh.. Yes, what is Cita?" answer Asiyah. Astounded.


"Hehehee," Cita smiled looking into Asiyah's eyes.


"Mama's okay, right? Can I help you, Mommy?" ask Cita again.


"No, no, that's okay, why? What's up?" ask Asiyah.


"What do you want to eat? You think we'll be at a regular restaurant soon?" ask Cita.


"Yes, yes, same with you guys, be free, that's also yes Cita don't forget to buy food for the crew on site, whatever, as usual," said Asiyah.


"Good Ma'am," said Cita.


Caca.


A few minutes passed. The restaurant they approached. The food parcels, box by box, had been brought into their cars.


Finally this daydream-filled journey ended as well. The location of this afternoon shooting felt very boisterous in the crowd. The rain that flushed enough to make the film crew hassles in rearranging the angle of the location they had set before. The shooting schedule was delayed by a few hours. Also slightly change the scenario and scene that initially has been arranged neatly. Qadarullah, what is the power of man can only plan, but it is the rain this afternoon that Allah has sent down upon His will, including the sudden meeting of Asiyah and Ashar.


Shooting location was not much talk Asiyah. His concentration was a little disturbed.


"Cuttttt... cuutttt... what is Asiyah, kenaaapaaaa? Professional dong, You I see, a lot of daydreaming from earlier, your eyes are empty, please donggg!! If there is a personal problem, get rid of it first, FOCUS!! FOCUS!!" the director was aware of Asiyah's current condition. Started to stir up his anger. Elevating his voice. Slightly snapping.


"Yes sir, forgive me," Asiyah said with her defense, briefly.


"Please, Asiyah, let's finish our shooting today, we don't have much time, not to mention because of the rain, now you again, fight.. IT'S SCREWED!!" continue again with her opening.


Asiyah hush. Caught with guilt. Astarghfirullah's. Asiyah sighed.


Asiyah was not sure what she was feeling. Why was it that after meeting Ashar earlier, his heart seemed to be broken?


Slowly Asiyah realized that the disappointment in her heart in the past had not healed. That strong, do you think? Though the relationship between him and Ashar is a very short relationship. It is nothing more than a failed relationship in the process. Without a long drama. And without a story full of memories.
