Before 365 Days
Chapter 10: The Voice of the Heart

My heart sizzled at Mira's departure, my eyes never stopping to shed tears. I'd love to run to save her, but what my day. I could only look at the passing of Mira who was dragged violently by Burhan. "Mira, you promised to meet me, and take me out of this house, you must be strong Mir," I said in my heart so as not to be heard by anyone, I rubbed my tears violently, I looked at all the girls who were eating the dishes that had been prepared. I know, not all girls swallow that food, there are some girls who mop it up. But every time I approached them and asked, they didn't answer me one bit. That's what pisses me off. I also felt hungry, but I did not want to eat, remembering the story of Mira, if I wanted to see the real form of this food, I had to pray and bersholawat. But I wasn't ready. If I didn't eat this food, what would I have to eat to survive until I got out of here?

Wulan attempted to dial Pak Kyai's number of his brother's acquaintances, but was never connected. Many times Wulan tried it still the result is nil. Adam noticed Wulan who was seen bending his face. Sliding on his wet towel, Adam asked. "You why Nduk? Early in the morning it's tangled up like that!"

"I kesel Mas, Pak Kyai number can not be contacted, even 3 numbers given by my brother, I have tried all, but still failed. No one's connected, it's all voice operators."

"Let's be patient, his name is busy. People like Mr. Kyai must be a lot of nyari. Not just anyone. By the way, you're not cooking today?"

"Hehehhe, sorry Mas, was the wake of bad luck, the vegetable maker was past all, I did not have time to shop. Mmm, Sunday, you are also off, how about we eat out! Take a walk to the mall, will you?"

"Mmmm, you can too, all of you want to shop what, your needs are already abis, bought all. Get ready to go there!"

"Yes, thank you!"

"Yes-yes."

Wulan seemed happy because Adam wanted to be invited to the mall. A few minutes later they left the house directly to the mall in the middle of K city.

Wulan and Adam are in the mall. They decided to have breakfast in Solaria. While waiting for the order to come, Wulan tried to dial Pak Kyai's number, again, but the result was still the same. Unconnected.

"Yes, it's really hard to call important people's numbers!"

"Try later again, Nduk, today we have fun first, do not think about the assortment." Said Adam. Wulan then put the hape into the bag. They both choose seats that are facing each other for one pair. Behind Wulan, there was a married couple, who were waiting for their order to come as well. Wulan stole their chat.

"Bi, forgive Umi, well, because Umi had to give up on Umi's do'a-do'a."

"Yes no papa Mi, the important thing is that we continue to pray."

"Bi, what if we find a smart person just for Mira's voice,"

"Abi, I mean Umi, we ask for help from Mr. Ustad, who knows Mr. Ustad can help Bi."

"Sir Ustad what do you mean Mi? A shaman? Abi would never agree! You know the law how, why even give advice that makes us polytheists!"

Inspiration looks angry, but he can still dampen his emotions. Inspiration was not inexhaustible with his wife, who had such thoughts. Though his wife is a devout man of worship and knows religion. Fatma then kept silent, She did not dare to continue her conversation with her husband. She was afraid that her husband would get angry, and cause a commotion, while they were now in a public place.

"Yes already Bi, Umi apologized well," Umi Fatma stroked the back of her husband's hand. Wulan who heard their chat, was curious and was eager for Wulan to interrupt. But it feels disrespectful. Besides Wulan who was not familiar with them, interrupting people's conversations was also not good. Wulan finally held back on that feeling. Orders finally came they ended up eating first before going shopping.

While Marsel in the middle house finished praying duha, he also prayed very fervently for Roses. Marsel hoped that the Khaliq would hear his prayer, and that the Rose would fall on his ear.

"Yes, Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful. Show me where the rose is. Only to You, the Servant begs, the Servant asks for all the clues to find the Rose."

Marsel then thought of chanting the words of Alloh, while his heart he focused on finding the Rose. His mind was directed only to the Khaliq.

"Roses, where are you? Where are the roses? Can you hear my heart? Roses, Roses, where are you?"

On the one hand, the Rose finished eating, the food served the same as before. After that Ndoro Kusuma and Burhan left his room. The empty Rose gaze faced the ceiling of his room. The breath of fresh air from Ndoro Kusuma's mouth still affected his mind. After a few minutes, the Rose regained consciousness, he sat down feeling his stomach ache, wanting to vomit but unable to get out. The rose rested her body in the room. He closed his eyes, and then he heard a male voice calling out to him. He knows whose voice it is.

"Rose, where are you? Rose, where are you?"

The rose tried to find the source of the sound, He glanced here and there, He tried to find every corner. But there was no presence in that voice. The rose then answered the source of the voice. "Council Marsel? Cells... Help me Cell, I'm stuck here Cell!"

Marsel flinched when he got an answer from the Rose, he opened his eyes and instantly lost his focus. Marsel tried to refocus his heart and mind, but to no avail.

"Aargggghhh, shit! I shouldn't be surprised. You need to stay focused!" Marsel bowed his head, he was very sad because his efforts were not successful, but at least he still remembered the answer the Rose gave him. Marsel rose from his sila, He walked back and forth thinking of the words of the Rose. "Is that really the sound of the rose? If it's true, the Rose said, He's asking for help, he's stuck here" Marsel was silent for a moment. "That's right, the Rose is a whole! I need to get in touch with Wulan!"

Marsel immediately looked for his hape to call Wulan. While the Rose was in her room, she cried, because the source of the voice was gone, but the Rose was very hopeful with that voice. "Cell, help me, I'm here, at Ndoro Kusuma's house. Help me, Sel...!"
