Destiny For Aqila
Box contents?

“Aqila” call umi staring at Aqila sad.

Umi came to Aqila and hugged her, “Yang patient son, this is a test for you, God loves your father and your mother” said umi Fatimah hugged Aqila tightly.

Aqila replied to umi Fatimah's embrace, “Iya umi” says Aqila sad.

Umi took off her embrace, and rubbed Aqila's face gently while smiling, “But Aqila is still there umi, consider this umi Aqila's own body” said umi Fatimah.

Aqila smiled and nodded slowly, “Nak” call abi Sham.

“This is for you” said abi Syam gave a small box to Aqila.

“This what abi?” aqila asked as she wiped her tears and accepted.

“Abi didn't know either, but before the fatal accident happened, your father gave this to abi, and he said give this to his little daughter” replied abi Sham raucously as if holding back tears.

Aqila stared at the box, she held back her cries but she could not, her tears fell back, “Accident?” tanya Aqila looked at Abi Sham.

“Iya nak” replied abi Syam nodded.

“Father and your bundle accident after they came home from the thanksgiving of your father's business partner” continued abi Syam.

“Abi does not know more clearly about the chronology, later let Iqbal explain it because Iqbal who saw directly” said abi Syam and looked at his daughter, Iqbal.

Aqila looked at Iqbal to ask for an explanation, Iqbal took a deep breath, “That time, brother had just come home from work, and when the red light suddenly came in front of brother, Iqbal took a deep breath, brother saw father's car driving at high speed, brother who felt something was wrong immediately following him after the green light, brother followed father's car but brother lost track because suddenly there was a black car blocking the road brother, and shortly afterwards brother heard the sound of a collision, and he heard the sound of a collision, brother immediately got down from the car and ran towards the source of the sound, and brother found the car father who had hit the tree and the tree overlap, brother approached father and mother to save him, and brother came to him, and before long the ambulance came father and mother were taken to the hospital, father and mother had been in a coma for a week, and last night the father and mother were pronounced dead, sorry Qila, sorry, brother can not dive into father and mother” explained Iqbal long and he humped.

Aqila shook her head, and came back crying, it was fitting that for the past week she had not received any messages or calls from her father and her mother, because her father and her mother would always preach to her, and last week there was absolutely nothing.

Umi hugged Aqila again tightly, “Now do not be sad, this is destiny” said umi gently rubbed Aqila's back.

“Dad, mother...” Og Aqila.

In the evening Aqila looked up at the night sky after last afternoon she grieved her father and her mother, now she is alone, there is no one who loves her more than anything, there is no longer someone who always gives warmth, and no one who always gives genuine happiness to him.

Now all that is gone, but his memories will never be lost, and his parents will always be in his heart, “Father and mother are happy up there” muttered Aqila smiled and looked at the bright night sky.

“Qila, will try sincerely and accept this reality, well, bund” he continued and remove his falling tears.

Aqila remembered about the box that had been given to her by day, Aqila went into her room and took the box on her nightstand, Aqila slowly opened it, and when she saw the contents she smiled.

Aqila took out a pendant necklace in the form of cotton candy and ice cream, this necklace when she asked her father, but at that time her father did not have much money to buy a limited edition pendant necklace, but at that time his father did not have much money to buy, which must be very expensive.

And now he's got it, but now it's not what he wants, he just wants his father and his mother back, but whatever it takes, it's destiny and he can't change it.

Then Aqlila took a letter and opened it, the letter said :

______________________________________________

...Assalamualaikum Wr's. Wm ...

Daddy's little girl must have grown up and become a beautiful girl, more beautiful hehe, dear Aqila, I don't know when your father and mother will always accompany you, son, but someday we will be apart. It's strange that I wrote this letter to you, son, but lately I've always dreamed that you'd be far away from your father and mother, and we're not together anymore, he said, even though you are currently studying in Cairo, you feel the distance between father, mother and you is very far.

once you've graduated quickly come back son, father and mother just want you to go home safe, and healthy. Dad and mom don't want more than you, son, want you to get the title or not it doesn't matter, enough you are healthy and continue to be happy it has made us happy, hurry back son.

Queenza Aqila, you must be able to be a strong child, when your father and mother are no longer by your side, you must be able to find a good companion, responsible and love you and love you, love you, you must be able to live this cruel life, remember son after the storm there is a rainbow, and after sadness there is happiness then look for your own happiness, even though father and mother are no longer there, and after the storm there is no happiness, you have to keep smiling and happy, I don't want to see you sad and crying.

Do not despair, continue your life your future is still long, if later you feel alone remember there is a God who is always with you, and father and mother will always be in your heart. Father's beautiful daughter, forgive father and mother can not give anything you want, father and mother can only give love and love to you, because you are our only daughter who is very dear father and mother.

I'm sorry this letter is too long, son, and I can't say much more, actually there's still a lot I want to tell you, but I can't write it anymore, it feels so limp and shudder this hand when I write every word I write for you son. My father and mother loved our little girl, Queenza Aqila.

...Wassalamualaikum Wr. Wb...

^^^By hand, handsome father Aqila^^

______________________________________________

Every time Aqila read word by word her tears kept pouring down her beautiful face, Aqila folded the letter back and kept it, then she took the pendant necklace and smiled when she saw it.

Suddenly his mind was reflected and remembered to a few years ago, where he was still a child and whined for the necklace, but also the shadow of the beautiful past.

“Daddy, Qila want ice cream, huwaa Qila want ice cream”

“Daddy is fierce, don't buy Qila, that necklace, Hiks... Qila wants the necklace, hiks..”.

“Daddy promises you will buy Qila ice cream and lots of candy, if Qila is not naughty anymore”

“Huwaa mom, bad dad, dad don't buyin Qila a new toy that can ee”

“Mother, Qila will not be naughty anymore, Qila promise, but mother must make Aqila favorite food Qila”

“Dad, mother Qila has gone home from school, see Qila bring fish that are shaking”

“Huwaa, mom, dad, Qila fish die at cat feeding garong”

“Qila dear mother and father, do not stay Qila yes, father, mother”

The shadows kept spinning in his head, Aqila smiled remembering him but her tears kept falling nonstop.

“Dad, mother, come back, Qila kangen you guys, go back and pick up Qila” muttered Aqila stared at the picture frame of herself with her father and her mother, a photo featuring happiness.

Now all are memories, their bodies are gone, but their souls are still in their hearts. And now there was nothing else that Aqila was proud of, her bachelor degree was meaningless to her, her life seemed ruined, it felt like she wanted to end it all after her spirit had gone far.
