Next day
Aya was ready, the car that picked her up was also parked in front, Aya said goodbye to Asha's father and mother.
Asha's mother shed tears to release Aya's departure because as long as Aya stayed with them she was already very close to Aya and considered Aya like her own child was the same as Asha.
Aya got into the car, then waved her hand at Asha's mother and father.
The car gradually moved away, Aya leaned her body on the back of the car seat. Aya hugs a teddy bear given by her late mother.
The car kept moving and started to come out of the village. Aya closed her eyes.
"Dad Aya's mother said goodbye, pray Aya there yes father mother may Aya stay strong continue this life and can be a successful person as always said by father in his candlestick. Aya promised later Aya would come again to reduce father and mother. Although Aya can not visit father and mother every day but father and mother will always be in Aya's heart. Aya will never break up praying for father and mother, because only do'a can Aya give for father and mother. (said Aya from the heart)
Aya lingeringly took a breath and then exhaled out horizontally, Aya opened her eyes looking far ahead. Aya tried to stay calm and not shed her tears.
While in the car Aya is more silent, seeing Aya like that Siska's mother neighbor Asha occasionally invites him to chat.
They were on their way a few hours.
Siska's mother and family were asleep, but Aya was still awake she saw the scenery that was presented during the trip.
Aya recalled the first time she left her hometown, Aya smiled enjoying the beautiful scenery.
And it did not feel the car that delivered them to the terminal, they all got out of the car to pick up their luggage and get into the bus according to their destination.
Aya sat on a bench near the windshield with Ibuk Siska's son.
Do not wait for a long time the bus they are riding also began to run inland because the bus passengers are full.
2 Hours of bus lessons stopped at the restaurant, all passengers disembarked as well as Aya.
After the prayer Aya lunch joined the family of Ibuk Siska. On the sidelines of the meal they took a chat, Aya also asked where Ibuk Siska's son would go to school and also his residential address in the city.
An hour more they rest and the bus continues the journey and this time the bus only stops at SPBU to refuel.
After a long journey, the bus finally reached the capital, the bus stopped at the terminal. All passengers got off and took their luggage.
Aya said goodbye to Ibuk Siska's family and then entered a taxi to go to Asha's residence.
20 Minutes drive finally Aya arrived in front of Asha's house, Aya got off the taxi disbursed her luggage which was helped by the taxi driver then Aya also paid the taxi according to the nominal mentioned by the taxi driver.
The taxi left, and Aya dragged her suitcase to the terrace of Asha's house.
Tok...
"Asha, Assalamualaikum...
Aya knocked on the door of Asha's house, while calling out her name.
Several times Aya knocked and called but the door of Asha's house did not open.
"Is Asha not yet home from her dictionary...! (Yes, look at the clock in her hand) But it's late afternoon there's no way Asha hasn't been home from college. Em...or maybe Asha again in the cafe where she works, if it's true then surely she will come home at night...! Well how yes, where my phone is still damaged again how to contact him. Yes, I tried to wait here for him (said Aya who spoke to himself)
Aya put her suitcase near the wall, then Aya sat on the chair on the porch of the house.
2 Hours have Aya waiting there, the day was getting dark. Aya looked at the clock in her hand.
"I better go to the mosque that is near here first, hopefully after the mosque later Asha has returned home. (said Aya again)
Aya took her luggage as well as her suitcase of clothes. Aya walked towards the mosque which happened to be not far from there.
After the prayer, Aya returned to Asha's house. Arriving there Aya still saw the lights of the house that was still not lit, it means Asha has not yet returned home.
Aya again sat on the bench on the terrace of Asha's house.
Almost 1 hour Aya waited there, and finally Asha came home. Asha got down from the car, Aya who saw Asha immediately stood up from her seat. After the car went Asha also approached Aya with his leisure.
"Why don't you tell me first if you want to come here. If this is how I get bothered, where I have to go home first again at work, where I need to go home, actually I do not feel good with the boss and other employees but because my mother ngomel call me continue and urge me to rush home yes forced me to go home, I have to go home, fortunately, my boss gave me permission and wanted to take me home. Next time do not be like this is Ai, make irritated aja. (asha chattering while opening the door of her house)
"I'm sorry Asha, sorry to bother you. (said Aya)
Aya tried to frown her heart, she was still trying to smile as Asha looked at her in annoyance.
"Do not have to smile, enter (say Asha)
Aya just shut up, took her luggage and stuff and went inside the house.
"Assalamualaikum.(say Aya before stepping into the house).
Aya widened her gaze, the house that remained the same as a few months ago that she had lived here.
"Oh yes Aya, it looks like you can not stay here for long because the room you used to occupy yesterday I have rented with my college friends, I have, he is currently returning home he said he picked up his sister who is likely to also stay here. And there is no way that you sleep in the living room later they are even uncomfortable. I think you will not come back here again, so to add to my income so I rent the room instead of empty. (clear Asha)
"Alright Sha, it's okay. But for tonight I can sleep here, I sleep in the room here is okay. (said Aya)
"Yes, of course you can, you can not find a rental or room costing nights like this. (said Asha)
"But ai, you're not angry, are you...? I don't mean to throw you out let alone not ngizinin you live here, only I've already rented that room, I can't suddenly cancel the rent of that room, I'm not, after all my friend has 1 Sunday occupied the room and he has paid the rent for the next 3 months (explained Asha again)
"Yes, it's okay I can understand. Oh yes this is a titan from Aunt and om for you. (Aya gave Asha's parents' goods to him)
Aya took it and opened the contents of the cardboard.
"This mother is just there, cook the ingredients of masti food sent too, did she forget that her son was lazy to cook. Will be wasted this foodstuff. (grunts Asha)
Asha marginalized the box.
Aya just silently watched the very distant nature of Asha change at this moment, unlike the Asha she knew back then.
