Between Love and Love
Find out where Tara is.
My mother, the room is empty. Ma'am Tara came home to Surabaya a few days ago." Say a woman who costs next door to Tara.
" Go home, to Surabaya?" ask Cloud.
" Yes, he already said the same thing to us. Already resigned also the possibility of not going here again deh." Tell that woman.
" Thank you for the information." Cloud Vocabulary.
"Together with us."
The clouds walk with gontai towards his boarding house. The woman he loved and had not had time to fight was gone. He thought what Hafis said was true. It should be in the struggle first, it can even be like he had given up before the war.
He remembered someone who must have known the exact address of Tara in Surabaya. The cloud immediately contacted the person to request Tara's address. One minute and two minutes he tried several times to contact Salma there was no answer.
"Why can't you call." Complaint Cloud.
The clock has shown at 07.20 wib he must immediately prepare to leave for the office.
Somewhere else.
Tara is putting some books on the table. Some of the readings of the prophet Muhammad and his companions have been read. From the story of Awan which tells the favorite daughter of the Prophet, Fatimah Az Zahra he became fond of the story of the Prophet.
" Tomorrow I will go to the bookstore again ah, many more stories that I must read like the story of Pharaoh's wife. The clouds were a glimpse of the story so I was curious." Tara said something that only she could hear herself.
Tara let out a rough breath. The little boy behind his boarding room must have been told by his mother to deliver a snack for him. Tara has often said not to send snacks every day but still sent. He got up and opened the door for the boy.
"Yes, sweet little boy, please enter the handsome Azam," Tara opened the door and told Azam to come in.
The little boy who knocked on the door was Azam the grandson of Ibu Nur, the one who helped Tara when she first came to Jakarta. It was Mama from Azam who asked Tara to help her business in Aceh. Because since the husband died he moved to Aceh to continue the business of the inheritance of the husband's parents who were in Aceh.
"Don't call me a kid. I've been eating vegetables and also drinking milk mama said I'll soon grow tall so don't call me a child" protested Azam who pouted while folding his hands over his chest.
"Yes Azam is smart already great," Tara aligns her height with Azam.
"And I want to marry Tara. So it must grow big and strong in order to take care of Tara dong." Next later.
"Call aunty, not Tara. Remember aunt Tara! Oh, do you want to marry aunty?"
"Yes dong aunty is Azam handsome and good aunt want ya?" pinta Azam's.
A boy less than seven years old is always like that. He mimicked the words of his Om who is also the nephew of the mother who also likes to tease Tara.
"Don't like to imitate Damar. Not so good. Aunt Rara is going to mama!" Threaten Tara to Azam.
