Iskandar's departure is two days away. Today was the last day Iskandar stayed at his parents' house. His friends have been coming since morning. Some of them gave mementos to Iskandar as a sign of friendship. After al-Zuhur, he will be picked up by bus by the cottage and settled overnight and then the next day just left for Yemen. Mother Yetti and Mr. Wicaksono also attended even though last night he was angry there. Some parents of friends of the complex also came to just give congratulations including Mama Anita mother of Adit.
Cut did not expect that his house would be crowded like this because Iskandar did not say anything. And Cut thought, the son had done his own farewell with his friends. Be he welcomes guests. Occasionally, Iskandar glanced at his mother and father. He wanted to see how they interacted after last night. But, what Iskandar was worried about did not happen. His mother and father looked as usual, kind in welcoming guests who were neighbors.
“Congratulations yes, Buk Rendra. We are also happy that our complex children are studying abroad.” Beno's Mother.
“Iya, Buk. Even more proud because Iskandar is friends with our children. May the piousness can be contagious yes!” please Deni's mother.
“Thank you, moms. I did not expect that this morning there would be a very meaningful guest in Iskandar's life. Thank you so much for watching Iskandar. I got moved. So I did not expect this to happen, I did not prepare anything to entertain guests. Yesterday you spent the whole day until late coming home. Almost ten o'clock at night we just arrived at the house so fun to play.”
“From all the residents of the complex, we have to say a lot of thanks to Mother Edo who has been struggling to become an impromptu ER for the children.” said Ibu Deni approved by all mothers present.
Mama Adit small smile, “Yanga important happy children, mothers. Incidentally at home there are also tools and remedies so to treat them is not something difficult.”
“Please tipped bu, sorry just sober like this.” Say Cut back.
The mothers slowly began to leave the Cut residence as the day was near noon. The cakes brought by the mothers are restated by Cut because the ones in the house are only small mineral water size one box and one jar of chips. The cake that Mother Yetti brought also enliven the plate even though the intention of the heart wants to give to the grandson but whatever. In front of the mothers persit former place shelter first. He did not want his image to be bad just because the cake costing several tens of thousands.
All the clothes of Iskandar he had prepared in advance without involving his mother. He knows how to arrange his luggage. Moreover, he had talked with friends till jannah through the mother's cellphone before.
“Is, don't forget us yes!” said Adit who had mewek first. An ustad has confirmed to Cut if the bus has entered the complex area.
They were waiting for the bus in front of the house. Some neighbors came out to release Iskandar's departure.
“Alah the Adit, Is come back later if he has become a ustad. Why use cry everything. We can call if we miss him.” Beno.
“Phone is not as busy as race.” Sahut Adit then hugged Iskandar again.
Inwardly, Iskandar was very happy but thought of his mother. I think he doesn't want to go. He was afraid to leave his mother. Even after last night's incident, her mother and father were nowhere near. His mother avoided his father. His mother's smile was also forced but Iskandar could not do much.
“Envigorous study yes! Remember, don't worry about Grandpa's phone if you need something!”
Iskandar nodded, “Iya, Kek. Thank you.” He kissed his grandfather's hand and then Mr. Wicaksono replied with a hug that made Iskandar shed tears.
“Nek, sorryin all errors Is, yes!” Yetti's mother gave a small nod and Iskandar did the same but he did not get the same reply as the grandfather. Mother Yetti did not give her a hug and it made her chest a little sore.
“Sorry all error Is, Pa. Is titip Mama, Pa.”
“Envigorous study there. Let me know if you have arrived and contact Papa if you have anything!” Rendra hugged the son tightly and then he kissed Iskandar's forehead briefly.
Anugrah stood between her father and mother. Until making Iskandar must say goodbye to his sister first. He extended his hand to the younger brother but was only seen by the Grace. And how surprised Iskandar when his sister suddenly hugged him tightly and then the sound of Anugrah crying in the arms of the brother.
It only took a week for Anugrah to see how her brother was. Although flat and sometimes indifferent but a week left alone with the brother. He never goes hungry and more importantly, he can eat the best instant noodles made by his sister.
“Hey, Grandma's granddaughter why are you crying like this? Your brother will go to study not go forever. Later also go home again if it is successful.”
The grandmother's words were like the wind then to the Grace. The proof, he continued to hold the son until the mother approached them and embraced together.
“Take care of yourself yes, dear! Do not forget to eat and take care of your health. Don't go alone. we don't know what kind of people area.”
“Iya, Mother. Mama also did not have much thought. Take care of your health, Mama if you want Is calm there. If Mama until why-why, Is will go home and will not learn again.”
“You yes, want to go also still had time to threaten Mama.” Cut reached out slowly to the son's ears and hugged him again.
“Hey, keep hugging Brother! Take care of Mama, if you love your sister. Then don't let grandma scold mom. Remember, you have it because the mother who was born is not a grandmother. Obey the same mama because your heaven is under the soles of your feet.” Anugrah whispered to the sister who was still faithful to embrace him.
“One more time, monitor Papa. Aunties who often go to the same house Grandma was willing to take papa from mama. It is your job to investigate and destroy their plans. You don't want mom and dad to split up, do you? If they separated, then forever you will not be considered as a sister.”
“Not that aunt papa's friend?” reply Anugrah while whispering and still in a hugging position to make friends Iskandar confused to see it. In fact, snot Anugrah there are attached to Iskandar's clothes.
“Yesterday me and Mama see Papa again in the same cafe about it. You find a way so that Papa can not come out as you please. If you talk a long time on the phone, you approach so that Papa can not talk anymore.if you lack ideas, ask my friends for help. They know what you have to do. You understand, right? If you do not understand, cancel your intention to enter the army. I trust you and don't disappoint me!”
Anugrah patted a little hard on the sister's shoulder and then broke her embrace. The issue that had been heard was now over and changed with the fixed gaze of the two. Anugrah nodded slowly and then smiled.
Iskandar kissed his mother's hand and hugged her mother tightly back.Cut repeatedly rewarded the son with a kiss on the top of his head. He also could not hold back his tears especially when he saw the bus that hit Iskandar had stopped in front of their house.
A ustad down, “Assalamualaikum,”
“Walaikumsalam,” answer them simultaneously.
“Wah, rame yes! Means you're good so rame inter. If the bad guy, time passed away just rame inter.” Ustad tried to change the mood.
“Today I've seen so many people crying over letting go of one of their loved ones. But rest assured, in the afterlife. You who cry it will be happy because it could be, the friend you cry who helps in the field mahsyar later. So please pray that the knowledge learned by Iskandar can be useful for many people later!”
They all nodded then checked the files belonging to Iskandar, “If only clothes can be bought or borrowed have friends.if passports and visas stay can fail to leave. So, we check first yes!” jest the Ustad.
“Kids, salim and ask for prayers first with Iskandar's parents!”
The santri who were already on the bus got off one by one and then took turns kissing the hands of Iskandar's parents and his grandmother and grandfather. Till jannah's best friend is also already in the group. Iskandar also introduced his complex friends with till jannah companions. They shook hands and hugged each other as teenage boys.
“Is, go Ma. Assalamualaikum.” He kissed and hugged his mother, father, grandmother and grandfather, and the last of the sisters.
“Remember message Sister!” she whispered back to her sister before taking off her embrace. Iskandar also hugged his friends at a glance until he finally boarded a bus that would take him to fetch the future.
“Assalamualaikum!”
“Walaikumsalam!” they said simultaneously then the bus they were riding began to run slowly until it disappeared from view
“I'll prove to brother that I can carry out this mission!”
