Ayunda Shaharani
A Better Substitute
From a direction a man was quite rushed and with breath panting calling and approached Ayunda who was still outside the car with Mas Rey after arranging some bouquets that Ayunda can into the car.
"Ayundae ... Ayundanese. Wait for me!"
Hearing the command line they (brother and sister) stopped there waiting for the customer to reach them. It is undeniable that the two of them are also very curious to know what the man wants to convey to Ayunda.
"Happy Ayunda for your graduation with your Cum laude"
"Thank you Robbi, Congratulations on your graduation too!"
"And .. This is for you Ayunda," Robbi gave a rose with chocolate to Ayunda with a face that she was embarrassed herself, too,
"from me ... Robbie."
"Well! Thank you so much Robbi," Ayunda received flowers and chocolate Robbi's gift, and,
"you really don't have to bother with this, Robb."
"Not Ayunda, I'm all smirk. Don't forget the chocolate is eaten!"
"Yes, later I will help Ayunda to eat the chocolate. Just calm down!" Reyhan said that casually and casually.
"Don't be too heartbroken said my brother. Later, I will definitely eat. Thanks again."
Robbi who was very happy with the words and defense of Ayunda to him, is now smiling herself with misbehavior. Then he passed away from Ayunda and Raffa.
"Who the hell is that, Ayunda?"
"My classmate Mas Rey."
"I think he has feelings for you"
"Already, Mas. Rey don't talk about it! Don't forget the chocolate Mas Rey will eat!"
The sister was made to laugh with a sprig of roses and chocolate Silver*** with the mini size given by Robbi to Ayunda. Not to mention his own timid manner of giving it.
Still cool joking and laughing a woman in her 43s who felt familiar with the sister who was cool trying to approach them while ascertaining whether the sister is Ayunda and Reyhan or not.
"Reyhan's? Ayunda?" Sapa Bu Yeni at once make sure.
"Assalamu'alaikum Bu Yeni" Ayunda replied.
"Your sister's tumben is coming to your college, Ayunda?"
"This is Bu Yeni because it was over the thesis session and it turns out that there are so many who love bouquets and I also bring bouquets for my friends, so that's why Mas Rey came here."
"Bu Yeni congratulate you on your graduation, Nak Ayunda!"
Ayunda replied to Bu Yeni's congratulations so kindly.
"No doubt, it's been four years" said Bu Yeni felt the time went so fast. It feels like just yesterday he met the girl in front of him, let alone the meeting happened when Raffa was with him.
"Ah, Son Raffa. May Allah replace with a better one for you" said the interior of Bu Yeni who suddenly remembered Raffa and the life Raffa had to live after three years had passed and now walked four years.
"Yes, ma'am, that's right!" Reply to Bu Yeni's statement which confirms that time is running so fast.
"About graduating what's the plan, Nak Ayunda?" Bu Yeni was still cool to ask, though,
"go ahead with 2 or get married first?"
"Want both, Mom. But, if in front there will be met with my soul mate, God willing marry first, ma'am. However, the Prophet was very happy with His people who followed his Sunnahs SAW."
"May soon be found and united. Aamiin's"
Ayunda and Reyhan join in mariamikan after that they go to return home.
Bu Yeni was still staring at Ayunda's departure with Reyhan. In her heart she prayed that in the future, Ayunda was a better substitute that God had prepared for a man she loved as much as her own child.

At night in a house in the city of M.
A boy with the age of about 3 years, was so happy when he found out the most awaited person the boy had come back home.
Excitedly the little boy fell into the arms of the person he was most waiting for.
“Daddy” call her by hugging.
“Oh! Hey, look at the hotshot Deddy, have you eaten a bellybutton, baby? ” said the man, as if talking to the 3-year-old baby, then a step closer to the woman who had been struggling all day to look after the three-year-old baby.
“Udah eat Nak? Udah?” ask again by sitting between women and men who are getting closer to old age, even so thankfully they are given health always by God.
Although there is a Baby sister who helps him because he is still 3 years old it is difficult to release his favorite grandson to the baby sister just like that.
“Iya has deddy. Murad had eaten, had drunk milk too earlier, same grandma”
“Good, pinter boy!” kiss the child by fusing their noses together
“But Murat will sleep with Deddy”
“Iya donk dear, later we sleep together. Deddy clean up first. Okay?”
The little boy, whose full name is *Muhammad Akhtar Murad al-Ghifari*, nodded vigorously.
Time has shown at 21:00.
It's time for the little one to sleep, with the chanting of shalawat by the Deddy did not take long the little boy named Murat was sleeping soundly.
The man called Deddy kissed Murat's forehead so softly and deeply. As soon as he closed his eyes as he kissed Murat's forehead there appeared to be a shadow present with them, the man spontaneously uttered a name.
“Azzalia” then his eyes nyalang looking where the shadow had gone. He also took ablution and took ablution.
Every time I see Murad every time it is also if I can be honest the man wants to cry. I can't seem to let Murat be this lonely. If it was like this, the events of a few years ago just flashed through his heart.
An event that was never expected to occur after almost complete happiness accompanied his household.
That day ....
“Mas, pain Mas, pain. I'm not strong anymore. Mas,” Jerit a woman in the delivery room a few years ago.
"Mas, Mas please beat me up. Mas, please take care of this child if he's born in the world"
“Doctor, please my wife and son Doc! They're in pain”
“Please save both Doc, I beg you!”
“Iya Sir, we will strive to save both of them. Please you calm down so that your wife can also calm down!”
“Please Mr. accompanied wife and strengthened and given support”
The labor process just happened, with all his strength the woman took her breath and took it out while pushing with all her might. And finally after a struggle that takes time and quiet for quite a long time, a tiny baby of the male sex is born in the world. The cry of the baby made a smile on his heart.
The mother also had time to give a smile to her baby and after that, the baby's mother suddenly fainted and was in critical condition due to lack of blood, until dimenit to the mother declared martyred. Though at that time, a couple was very happy because it would be blessed with a baby as a complement in their household. But again, everything goes by God's will. All who live will meet their end. Not looking young or old is all in His grasp.
“Hopefully your Momy is calm in nature there, dear”
the man Murad called Daddy recalls the passing of Murad's mother.
The man kissed his son once more and then went to sleep hugging Murat tightly.
Behind the door of the room occupied by Daddy and the boy, a woman called Grandma by a little boy named Murat seemed relieved and happy when she saw two men of different ages, Father and son both slept together.
The woman called the grandma entered her room and her husband.
“Where's Ma? Already on sleep?” ask her husband
“Alhamdulillah, already Pa”
“Aalhamdulillah's. Rest Ma, you must be tired of taking care of your grandson all day”
“Iya Pa.” She put her foot down, and her husband called her again,
“Ma, now Murad is three years old. Don't you want our son to remarry?”
“Mama wants to Pa. Which parents are the Pa who feel at home to see their own children continue?”
“Then Mama tried to talk to his Daddy Murad to get married again. For the good of Murat and him too Ma."
“Iya Pa, tomorrow will try Mama talk to Raffa.”
said the woman who turned out to be Mama Raffa.
So that's the story of Raffa's life three years ago.
When Raffa and Azzalia were very happy their families would be complete it turned out that at the time of the delivery of Raffa's wife, Azzalia had to lose a lot of blood so declared martyr.
Age no one knows and cannot be bargained for. Our task now, as human beings, is to multiply the good in our lives only once. And let us not expect his death, for it is not good. Like the hadith narrated by the friend of Anas (An-Nasa'i), in the hadith it is explained that it is forbidden for us (humans) to hope for death because of the misery that befalls.
