Because Amen is the Same
3. Sent home

Ray drove Viona and Ainun home, because he used to hear that children should take the car slowly and carefully.

Viona did not protest. He tried to enjoy the atmosphere of the city street at night. The atmosphere for him is very much missed when the lecture period home night just for work on campus assignments with his friends. However, over time Viona's eyes did not enjoy it even sleepy. Many times he yawned and quickly covered his mouth.

"Yes Allah is sleepy" said Viona.

Ray cleared his throat then he asked because he was confused by the intersection of four roads in front of him.

"Call or straight?"

"Straight, if it turns right back" Viona explained who did not look at Ray.

"Haaaa" That's the only sound that came out of Ray's lips. Confused, that was what he felt at the moment. Despite this, he still directs his car to the road as Viona explained.

"It's been stuck?" Ask Ray again who was not answered at all.

"Viona, it's stuck" Ray repeated a little higher.

Ray's voice this time only Viona heard because he had slept in the car.

"Well, sorry" Viona said badly to Ray.

"Well, is your house?" Ray asked confusedly. Because Ray honestly does not believe Viona's words by looking at the left right side it is just a rundown house and either inhabited or not.

Viona nodded her head and tried to open the car door, she was a little difficult to reach it because of Ainun who fell asleep.

"I help" Ray said, then got out of the car quickly and opened the door for Viona.

Viona came out with Ainun's sling that had been sleeping since.

"Thank you yes. Sorry to be troublesome" Viona said politely and occasionally fixed the position of her sling.

"Yes together" answered Ray and he got back in the car.

Ray went back down the city road to get home. On the way home, Ray just focused on driving with the hope of quickly reaching home and rest. But that hope was broken when a few minutes into the message and then the call came back on her phone with the same person.

"It's just this kid at the club, like nowhere else" Ray said to his best friend Alan.

📞"Where is Ray?" Ask someone across the phone.

📞 "Front" replied Ray briefly then he got out of the car and entered the club that night.

Ray walked in and approached someone not far from the mini bar. Ray patted the person on the shoulder and sat down.

"Like this place?" Ask Ray.

"A little bit" he answered briefly.

"And we go home, I don't really like this kind of noise" Ray said.

The music in the room invited people to take a jog, including Ray's friend.

"Alan" call Ray again.

Alan is Ray's only friend since college until now, they rarely meet because Alan is busy with his work. But they always took the time to just coffee together, but if lazy work then wherever he will follow Ray wherever he goes.

"Ray jog first" Alan asked.

"Drunken? It's not in your religion that it's forbidden" Ray said again.

"Ray, it's been his talk like you understand my religion" said Alan and Ray just shook his head in wonder at his best friend.

Alan is now jogging with women at night there, Alan under the influence of alcohol does not recognize the word tired to dance.

Ray who could not stand the noise of the night club plus the women who kept coming to him just acquaintances even to invite him as their one-night entertainer.

"Alone, my friend" he said by giving whiskey dumplings.

Ray quickly clenched his hands together in his chest while apologizing. The woman continued to give the whiskey.

"Don't be a hypocrite, here everyone likes a drink in my hand" he said again, then he laughed, Ray glimpsed the smile of the woman under the lights.

"Be my entertainer tonight" Invite him again who makes Ray quickly stand up and pull the hand of Alan who was jogging with other comfort women.

"Alan, we're going home now" Ray said firmly and then pulled Alan to bring him in the car. Until Alan's car threw up all the alcohol he drank before Ray came.

Ray peeked at his back by directing his gaze elsewhere.

"Have vomited?" Ask Ray again with a look elsewhere. Honestly, Ray could not see vomiting, if not his friend who was drunk and vomited long ago he kicked far away

"Yes" Alan replied with closed eyes, his head was dizzy and his gaze seemed to split in two.

"Let's get in the car. Good thing vomit outside in the car, I make sure you wash the car tomorrow morning before you go home. Tonight I'll spend the night at my house" Invite Ray again upset and let Alan help him get in the car.

20 Minutes later, Ray's car had parked the yard and had not forgotten to wake Alan who was sleeping in his car.

"Alane. It's up, get in the house, take a bath just sleep but watch out you throw up again" threatened Ray then he left Alan who was still in the car.

On the other hand, Rifal and Marcelea's wedding reception was just completed, and now they are heading to their rooms for the rest of the hotel where the reception was held.

Rifal and Marcelea to the room while the two newlyweds returned to their respective homes.

Yesi just realized Ainun was not there, so excited with his friends forget about his son. He panicked.

"Ma.. How come Ainun doesn't exist?" Yesi asked panicked and afraid that her husband would suddenly call and ask her son.

"Calm down, who knows with Viona. Viona's not the same as us"

"Yes mam, hopefully Ainun with Viona" Yesi tried to calm down and can't wait to get home.

The car that Yesi carried continued to roll on the city streets at around 11 pm, they were both brave through the middle of the night which began to be quiet and usually begal hours as it had begun to act.

10 Minutes later the car has arrived home, the house lights have been lit sign there is someone in it.

Heti's mother got out of the car, "viona and Ainun are home" Heti's mother said.

"Yes mam, but what time they come home, I don't know" said Yesi, remembering if her daughter was saying goodbye before returning home.

Viona is sleeping on the living room couch with Ainun. So calm and sound that Heti's mother repeatedly knocked on the door.

"This two-bed child sleeps dead, mama as if to be broken with the knuckle of the door not wake up too" mother Heti had nagged himself in front of waiting to open the door.

"Yesi called in the window of Viona mam's room" said Yesi and then led to the window of Viona's room.

Several times tapping the window while greeting, there was still no response from the room. Yesi was back at the main door where her mother was.

"Let me peek at this window mam" said Yesi again and fortunately the curtains in the guest room were slightly exposed so as to be able to see the person in the guest room.

"Astaghfirullah, deserve mam" Yesi said as he shook his head in wonder.

"Why?" Ask Heti's mother and take a peek through the window.

"Truly this Viona" said Heti's mother again.

Heti's mother knocks on the door again while Yesi calls Viona through the window .

"Who's disturbing my sleep" muttered Viona as she regained her consciousness.

"Lho.. Ainun" surprised voice Viona saw her bangs sleeping on the sofa in front of her, "Oh yes" he continued after recalling when he returned home with his bangs.

Flashbacks

Viona got out of Ray's car with her arms and went back down the road that was not far from her home.

Ainun was not disturbed even in his aunt's arms, while Viona was getting tired of walking and Ainun's weight felt like breaking his arm.

"Viona's spirit, just a little more home" she muttered in self-enjoyment.

Viona had just opened the door, Ainun woke up from her sleep still in Viona's arms.

"Auntie" call Ainun.

"Dear, we were all here first, Aunt Viona was tired" said Viona as she lowered Ainun from her arms and sat her bangs on the long sofa in front of her.

"Auntie istrahat for a moment, Ainun sat there.remember sitting there, do not go anywhere" said Viona then he lay his body on the sofa with the aim to straighten his body that is sore until he fell asleep.

Ainun who returned sleepy because he waited too long for his aunt who overslept,

"Aunt Viona woke up" Ainun said as she shook Viona's arm.

"Auntie" call Ainun again.

"Hmmmm" Viona replied half-consciously

"Ainun is sleepy" Ainun said again.

"Sleep dear" replied the original Viona and Ainun followed the direction of her aunt's index finger.

"Kok sofa, not in the room" Ainun protested and was confused but Ainun remained obedient because he saw his aunt was asleep.

Ainun returned to his seat and fell asleep there like her aunt Viona.

Flashback off

Viona looked at the door and moved to the window right next to the door.

"Oh my God, sister Yesi" said Viona, quickly opening the door.

"Go home and don't tell me, I was panicking about you two" Yesi said after entering the house.

Heti and Yesi's mother did not enter their respective rooms, they sat in the guest room for a moment.

Heti's mother massaged her sick calf

"Why mam?" Viona asked pretending not to know.

"Sick, the mama was standing at the old door anyway you're Viona, why don't you go home" heti's mother told her son.

"Tu. he who wants to go home is not me, even though I was also sleepy at the reception of Rifal's sister earlier" Viona did not want to be blamed entirely while pointing at Ainun who was still sleeping.

"It's the time!!" Said Jesi in disbelief, "Ainun is not used to sleeping fast" he continued.

"But it's like that tonight. Still at the reception was whining about going to bed. Where her mother is busy with her friends, forgetting time and children" said Viona again.

Yesi softened, "Sir, you actually want nyamperin both of you but suddenly the steps of the brother stopped." he said that made Heti and Viona's mother curious.

"Why?" Ask Heti's mother impatiently to know why the yesi stopped.

"Yes, why stop? I know, must be suddenly lazy right?, ngerjain me right?. other people join nimbrung with his friends.lah I boro-boro want to tell with friends, do not you know, Ainun everywhere nempel kayak I maknya"

Viona let out her teardrops because only she did not enjoy the reception earlier. Yesi her brother just forgot the child is so happy to meet his friends. While Viona was preoccupied by Ainun asking for this and that.

"Already dizzy mama, sultry want to take a bath and then restless" Heti's mother was stressed to hear the two daughters if it was a fight.

Heti's mother stood up and reminded the two children while pointing at the two of them alternately.

"You're Yesi, why should Viona take care of Ainun? And you Viona, you can take Ainun to Yesi. You two really give a headache" he said as he stepped out of the living room.

Yesi and Viona just silent a thousand languages heard the sentence that came out of the Mama.

"Sir, who was that man?" Ask Yesi.

Viona was initially confused by the intention of her brother's question, "which man?"

"Hmmm, you three sit down!" Yesi tried to remind her sister again that.

"Oh that's Ray" replied Viona who was taken by Yesi.

"Lumayan" said Yesi.

"Urus Ainun brother, I want rest" said Viona then he headed to his room leaving Yesi and Ainun who were still in the living room.
