Back to Your Heaven
Journey home
It has been one day Arul and Zikri (ayahna) are in their hometown. It's time for the two to get back to work.
At 08:00 in the morning, they had started to get ready to clean up their luggage.
Actually, they still live at home. But the obligation requires them to return to the oversea.
"What time do you leave, sir?" ask Zikri's wife while tidying up the clothes her husband will bring
"Hour 10:00 Han may be Ma'am." Answer Zikri
"Yes already if that mother prepare provisions for later eating there ya."
His wife went straight to the kitchen to cook some durable food carried a long distance.
"Ezra where's Ma'am?" ask Arul
"Most he went to play." answered his mother
Arul went back to his room, then he cleaned up his clothes.
All the supplies are ready.
Zikri saw his watch already showing at 10:00
"Just leave now, Rul." Take Zikri to his son
"Yes, sir." replied Arul as he carried his backpack
"Ezra hasn't come home yet?" ask Zikri to his wife
"Not yet sir, let me follow him for a minute."
His wife went behind the house to Ezra's friend's house.
"Za, let's go home first...!" mother from far away
'Yes Ma'am." answered Ezra while leaving his friend's house
Ezra also followed his mother to meet his father and brother who will leave again to the overseas.
Not long after, Isma was already in the yard of Zikri's house.
He had a plastic bag in his hand that contained several snacks.
" Sister, are you leaving now?" Isma asked as she approached her brother.
"Yes Is..."
"Here sis, there's some snacks, good enough for a snack there." Said Isma while giving her the snack she brought.
"Yes, thank you."
Zikri also handed the snack to his wife, to be included in their luggage.
"Ezra, greetings here with father and A Arul." Saying mother
"Yes Ma'am." said Ezra as he approached
Ezra kissed his father and brother's hands.
"We're leaving first, ma'am." Zikri said to his wife
"Yes, be careful on the road when you arrive." Answer Zikri's wife
"Yes Mom."
"Assynoltom..."
"Goddessalam...."
Zikri leaves with Arul.
Zikri and Arul head to the bus terminal. There they are looking for a car according to the department they will ride.
They get on the bus and choose the seat they will sit on.
Not long after the bus was ready for the road.
the bus conductor was screaming for passengers who had not yet boarded.
The bus started to run.
"Bismilohmanirohim..." Zikri
Eventually the bus drove.
In the car Arul continues to play his phone. While Zikri only looked at the car glass to see the scenery along the way.
After 2 hours of travel, the bus stopped at a rest stop.
"Please if anyone wants to eat or go to the toilet." Speak to the conductor to the passenger
"Will not go to the toilet?" Ask Arul to his father
"Let's go to the toilet and rest again." Answer Zikri
When his father went to the toilet, Arul approached the noodle dealer. He bought two cups of instant noodles.
"Come here, sir..!" Arul calls his father who just came out of the toilet.
Zikri approached Arul.
"Eat first instant noodles sir, let the stomach not be empty, let not catch a cold." Said Arul while giving a cup of instant noodles to his father
They spent the instant noodles, until finally the conductor called the passengers back to get back in the car.
"The bus is leaving soon, all passengers are expected to get back in the car..!!!" Said Mr. conductor
Passengers began to enter the car.
Zikri and Arul again occupy their seats.
"Has everyone back in the car??" Ask the conductor for all passengers
The conductor began to close the door, and the car started to run slowly.
The journey continues.
Not long after Arul was asleep in the bus.
Zikri massaged his head, he felt his head hurt a little.
Arul also woke up.
"Why are you so head-pijit?" Ask Arul
"It's okay, Rul." replied Zikri
"My dad has a headache again?" Arul asked back
"It's just a little. It's okay, Rul."
"This is Arul there is grease oil. Try to use it first, sir.."
Zikri rubbed grease on his head.
After a while, Zikri fell asleep.
"Father fell asleep hopefully later wake up his headache is gone." Said Arul while looking at his father
It doesn't feel like it's been 3 hours drive from home.
It is estimated that another hour will reach the destination.
Zikri woke up from his sleep.
"Your father is awake.. How does Pak still have a headache?" Ask Arul
"Alhamdulillah is better..." Answer his father
"Alhamdulillah if so, this is your first drink of water." Arul gave bottled mineral water to his father
Zikri drank it.
Zikri again saw the view of the car window.
"Anyday, sir?" Ask Arul
"Yes, it's gonna be a little late." Answer Zikri
A few minutes later, the conductor spoke to all the passengers.
"To the passengers will soon arrive at the terminal, please check back the luggage so that nothing is left behind or exchanged."
All the passengers checked their luggage and they were getting ready to get off the bus.
A few minutes later, the bus entered the terminal.
Passengers began to leave the bus.
"Alhamdulillah already nyampe terminal, now we just ride the angkot sir."
"Yes Rul."
Not long after the angkot car approached Zikri and Arul who were standing on the side of the road.
Zikri and Arul went straight into the angkot.
The distance from the terminal to the contract is about 7 minutes.
"Back in the city again looking for sustenance." Zikri said in his heart
"Stop in front, sir...!" Said Arul to the Angkot driver
Angkot stopped right in front of Zikri's workplace.
Zikri and Arul also came down from the angkot.
They walked straight to their contract.
"Thank God, it's finally here." Said Zikri while keeping his bag
He immediately unlocked his contract.
Not long after, there was Bu Dewi approaching them while carrying a plate of rice.
Mother Goddess is a policewoman who happens to be their neighbor.
"Assynoltom.... Just got home, sir?"
"Yes Mom..." Answer Zikri
"It's a little rice sitting sir." Said the Goddess
"Well, what's the show, ma'am, making rice sit?"
"That's a thank you sir's son."
"Thank God, thank you, ma'am."
"Yes, sir, if that's what I'll excuse you, Assalamualaikum..."
"Yes Ma'am, Waalaikumsalam."
Zikri and Arul went straight into the house.
"Alhamdulillah yes sir, pas nyampe get more sustenance." Arul said to his father
"Yes, Alhamdulillah Bu Dewi is a good person."
"Yes sir."
Not to forget Arul immediately called his mother to tell them they had arrived.
