"Who is Raffa?"
Raffa turned the book over and revealed the book's cover and revealed the author's name.
"God, Ayunda?" Mama Raffa very salute,
"A little while . This is the book you bought
the time of the book exhibition, means that Ayunda was at the book fair there?"
"Yes Ma." Raffa got up from his seat in the park and mingled with Murad and his grandfather who was quite exhausted playing with his grandson who was quite active.
"Hey! Here's Daddy's hotshot, come with Daddy!"
"No need for Daddy. Murad still wants to be with Granpa."
"Hayo, where are you going sweet boy? Granpa will catch you." papa Raffa teases his grandson who is more happy and laughs because his grandfather is not stopping playing chases.
Looking at the thing that was in front of him now, Raffa found it difficult for Raffa to withdraw his son's heart.
He sat back in the garden chair with his mother who was still cool with the book that Raffa showed him.
While sitting Raffa monitored his son from the park chair where he sat with his mother.
It was quite late afternoon they were intending to return home. Ashar had been reverberating Raffa and the family stopped at a mosque located to the left of the road from their direction.
The exhibition was completed a few hours ago.
The six friends were on their way back to the hotel. Knowing that they had entered Ashar time they turned the car to a mosque located on the left from their direction.
Adhan rumbles with his shahd.
The pilgrims come to pray in the mosque.
Ayunda and his best friend have come down, some of them have also gone to the ablution place. As for Ayunda himself, he was still cleaning some of his stuff in the car. When he finished cleaning his goods, Ayunda intended to come out after his best friend, but while still outside the mosque, Ayunda found a child who was quite familiar to Ayunda.
"Hi Murad dear!"
Ayunda aligned his position with Murad.
"Where is your daddy, baby? Why are you alone in Sjni?"
.
"Daddy equals granpa, Murad equals Grandma"
"Aunty you're looking for your Grandma huh? Let you be safe."
"Come here, auntie take you!"
Both hands held each other. Murad also seemed so comfortable and happy with a woman who was holding him at this time. Meanwhile, Grandma who is looking for where her grandson is now no longer worried, her grandson in the hands of good people she once knew and always prayed in his prostration. Without a long wait, Mama Raffa as a grandma went straight to the place of Ayunda with Murad who was frowning looking for him.
From behind, someone grabbed her shoulder. He knows who that person is now, too,
"Precious letter .. Look who this is!" Ayunda who still remembered Mama Raffa's face immediately nodded and smiled kindly. Yeah how he doesn't recognize the woman who is
in front of him at the moment. The woman who once said will always pray for him in every prostration.
"Grandma" stretched out both her arms and hugged her grandma.
"Yund? You're Ayunda, aren't you, son?" reassure.
While reaching out to shake hands Ayunda assured that it is true that he is Ayunda.
"God is getting more beautiful, you son!"
"Thank you Auntie."
Without further ado and without waiting a long time a question just came out of Mama Raffa's mouth,
"Ayunda, you're married. The boy? Meaning gini, Aunt wants to know your husband if you are married. In every Aunt's bow, Aunt always prays best for you, Son Ayunda."
A meaningful smile was plastered in the corner of Mama Raffa's cheek. Ayunda himself who knows it does not know its meaning but like implying do'a and great hope in it.
Already iqamah they immediately entered the mosque before falling behind congregational prayer.
The night is approaching, a sign that rest has begun.
Ayunda with Hanum, Hanum already seems to sleep first because of his tired ranking. Ayunda? Ayunda was staring at the window of the hotel that showed the beautiful view of the city of M from the hotel where he stands at this time.
"The mad? He's Raffa's son. They're so similar, they look alike."
"If only ... Azaghfirullah." Ayunda, who realized he should not have dreamed of Murad being his son with Raffa, was clearly Raffa was not a match with him. He must be able to accept that reality, he must sincerely let go of all that. Forgetting is not as easy as turning your palm. Ayunda remembered the sentence very well because in fact it was so that he felt as well.
"Sir Raffa, it's alone now. But that doesn't mean I can and deserve to be in her life? Yes even if there's a chance my heart wants."
Ayunda.
Then treat his turmoil by reading the Holy Verse of Al-Qu'ran.
On the other hand,
Mama Raffa said about marriage to her only son.
"Married? Who is married to Ma? Raffa hasn't,"
"Why aren't you ready for Raffa? You don't like your son? She needs a mother's affection, she needs a mother figure. And you, you also need a figure that will take care of your born and inner." Mama Raffa, "Papa and Mama are getting older, Raffa. We want to see you start a new life again."
"Ma, not all women are sincere. What if they only love Murad's Daddy, but not Murad? Raffa can't Ma."
"Raffa isn't all women like that, baby." Mama Raffa. Then continue what he wants to say slowly and subtly.
"There is a woman, whom Mama is sure she will be able to love Murad sincerely just as much as she loves you sincerely"
"What the hell is Ma talking about? Who loves Raffa sincerely?"
"It's a shame you remember the book you showed Mama, Mama met the author."
"So, you mean Mama Ayunda?"
Mama Raffa nodded happily, while Raffa remembered the shadow of Ayunda who looked familiar with a man while at the book fair this afternoon. And that scene of familiarity just flashed through Raffa's heart and mind. So this afternoon, because of the sight, Raffa chose to retreat.
"Already Ma. Ayunda must have found her love today. He must have started a new life. Three years have passed, Ma."
"You're wrong Raffa, it's so smart to guess the story of someone's life." said Mama Raffa casually.
"Raffa listen to Mama! Ayunda hasn't lived a new life or anything like that."
"Mama who seems to understand this ..."
"Raffa, Mama knows and knows. Mama herself asked Ayunda. Even he asked in prayer so as soon to be met with the best figure for him."
Raffa was silent. Honestly, he wanted what his mother meant, but on one side Raffa realized who he was, he was Daddy with a child.
"But Ma, Raffa is not sure that Ayunda still wants to be with Raffa."
"Yes Although we had met and from his neutrality it seems to say that he still put his taste but that is only my own interpretation, O Allah" Raffa said.
"Come on Raffa, try it first!"
"God willing Ma, the day after Raffa will visit Bu Yeni's residence, so Raffa conveys Raffa's intentions"
"Mama believes Raffa at this meeting, you God willing will be united in shame"
Raffa just smiled in response to his mother.
In his heart he guaranteed with earnestness the words of his mother.
