Because The Story

Because The Story
Old Book


On that same day Alika and her entire family say goodbye, tears streaming down Alika's cheeks saying goodbye to her beloved grandfather and grandmother.


Alika who can not ride a car because always drunk travel chose with her father to drive with a motorbike while the car that her father brought was carried by Adit with Tia and her mother.


...----------------...


Arriving in front of their house by traveling about two hours they arrived at a house with a minimalist style and beautiful two-story.


"Ah too!" Alika got off her motorcycle and saw her favorite dirt bike parked in the garage.


"Hi my favorite bike! I haven't seen you in a long time, I miss you!" Alika rubbed and hugged her motorcycle.


Without thinking, Alika took her suitcase in the trunk of the car that had just arrived and brought it into the house and saw two housemaids who were clean.


"Eh neng Alik has come home, want to drink first neng?" Ask one of his house assistants.


"No, Alik is going to go up!" Alika replied and immediately tethered to her room which was on the second floor.


In the room that arrived silent with pink and white accents, Alika felt an instant pain in her chest, lying if he is not hurt to find his lover who does serong but he just tried to show his tough side in front of his family so that everyone does not worry about him.


Alika knew if she cried at that time, of course her voice would be heard outside the room, she decided to go to the bathroom and flushed her body with water.


The water he turned on to muffle his crying voice, his heart was very painful as if slashed, I don't know what the dream was last night and God immediately realized that reality on that day.


Perhaps Alika's regret was not that she had already beaten Ipung but rather that she wept over his stupid demeanor and left the man in her heart, loving him wholeheartedly.


It's true that not all men are the same as Ipung but the lie has been able to close part of Alika's heart to men, she became reluctant to believe in anyone. He was afraid of feeling disappointed again, his chest felt very tight and unconsciously blood flowed in his nose and continued to flow until it made his head dizzy and his gaze became blurry and faint.


...----------------...


The incident was not known to anyone, until three hours passed and the water was still flowing with blood that had been washed away and left a little on Alika's clothes.


Alika blinked her eyes still dizzy, she took off her shirt and put on a towel afterwards, with difficulty Alika crawled into her room until she was able to reach her bed.


A chill in feeling the body that was now shivering, Alika enveloped her body and fell asleep again.


Everyone thinks that when Alika is exhausted and asleep, everything is calm, except Adit who was silent entered Alika's room when her sister fell asleep and saw Alika's clothes stained with blood, had been as suspicious as Adit felt but he could not ask at that time because he saw his sister who was sleeping.


Alika woke up again and found that the night had arrived, her head had improved even though it felt a little throbbing but only a little and she was able to hide it with a sweet smile in front of her family.


Alika put on her clothes and saw Jam who had passed dinner, no one woke her up because everyone thought that Alika was just tired just did not think anything else.


But suddenly the sound of the saturator made his eyes wide and ran quickly down the stairs and dismissed the satayman.


"Sate neng?" Asked the man with his typical smile.


"Yes mang, ten pricks huh! Just chicken satay!" Alika said mimicking the ghost style that is very famous for its saturator.


"Hahah, neng Alik tiasa bae! Pake chili no neng?" The man asked Alika again.


"Pake mang, 4 spoons yes!" Alika replied and went back to her house to take the money in the wallet that was still in her suitcase.


But his eyes failed to focus when he saw a book that looked very old in his suitcase, Alika took the book and put it on the bed.


"Let me see!" Said Alika running back downstairs and taking her order and giving her the money.


Alika went back to her room and took the old-looking book, but suddenly her eyes immediately widened when she remembered that she had not done the dzuhur, asar, prayer, magrib and Isya almost four times of prayer he left behind.


Her tears suddenly seeped out and her cries broke instantly as she recalled her obligations left behind.


"Oh my god sorry Alik.. Hiks.hiks.. Not intentionally, God!" Alika said and immediately slid into the bathroom to see her scattered clothes and tidied them into the laundry container.


He also did not forget to immediately take ablution water and meng kodo all his prayers left behind, regret and tightness he felt in sobs after all his prayers were carried out.


Not forgetting after completing his prayer, Alika immediately prayed repentance and offered her do'a do'a, she was tempted to pray and she hoped God would forgive her.


Alika finished the whole thing and still in the bushes she brought the old book with a satay package that she had originally ordered to the balcony of her room.


A small table and chair made of soft cloth and rattan with foam as a seat was there, too, alika's eyes briefly examined the book with the black cover carefully and full of sense to worry and curious about it Alika opened the first page.


Deg, deg, heartbeat Alika pumped so hard that it sounded to his ears, how not in the book on the first page was he looking at a small painting of a very beautiful and graceful woman figure.


"I.. In..this is it?" Alika's memory was immediately fixed on her dream, it was a sure thing if the painting was a figure in her dream.


Whether the book came from where it came from and do not know what the purpose of the person who put it but saw it alone Alika already knows if the person is the person closest to her.


Alika turned the painting over and saw a writing with a typical script of the past that blends together inscribed.


"'I'll meet you Adinda"' In the first row and in the next look a name is engraved in sundanese script there, alika quickly took his Sundanese dictionary in the form of a way of making words in the sundanese script "'SANI"' Alika's eyes immediately widened now it is clear who put it in his suitcase.
