Destiny Love Kinan (FINISHED)
019: First Fajr

"Han! Quickly tell Mas. Who's the man who did this to you!"

Dude shakes the shoulder of his silent little sister like a breathing mannequin.

"Galando! Answer my question!" Dude spoke louder, but Hana stared blankly, let alone answer, crying as if unable. Hana, she is so depressed, like an undead, she doesn't even care about her own circumstances. Hana doesn't seem to hear anything, but when the Dude begins to weaken, she hugs her younger sister, Dude's only sibling. Hana is Dude's hope, it turns out that now his sister is even destroyed by the actions of a savage man who he does not know who is the person.

Dude kissed the top of his sister's head, he cried awkwardly, hoping Hana would tell him, at least tell him what he did? Who was the man who had desecrated her until just like now.

Then Dude looked into Hana's eyes with great hope, at least his sister wanted to tell me even if there were only a few clues for clarity, he would look even to the end of the world, the person who had ruined his sister's life.

"Hana, tell Mas. Tell Mas, who is he, Dek?" Dude flanked two pale Hana cheeks, finally there were tears streaming down the cheeks of Dude's favorite sister. A sign, what Dude said got a response from his sister.

"Who, Dek? Answer me, tell me who? Mas will destroy him as badly as he destroys."

Hana then moved from her position, she walked grubbyly, occasionally holding the wall so as not to fall. Hana opens her closet, then picks up a book and gives it to Dude.

Hana immediately cried without a sound, after giving the book to the Dude. From the book that Dude knew all that his sister had experienced, his anger seemed to accumulate and can no longer be dammed. Dude promised to give justice to his sister.

"Mas, wake up, it's dawn."

The voice broke the shadow of the past present in his sleep. Dude sweated, he gasped when he realized that it was all just a dream.

"Mass?" call Kinan again, the woman did not dare to look too closely at the Dude, the dim light of the lights made Kinan not pay too much attention to the pale Dude's face from just dreaming.

"It's dawn, huh?" Dude turned on the lights, she uncoiled her hair and that was when Kinan saw her husband's pale face and Dude's sweaty forehead.

"Mass? Mas why? Why pale? Is Dude sick?" ask Kinan.

His chest was still pounding due to the dreams present in his sleep. Dreams about Hana's past events, the most poignant thing for her sister as well as the Dude himself.

"No, I was just having a bad dream" replied Dude and moved the blanket that covered her body. He then got up to get some water. "I wudhu first, yes. Have you prayed?"

"No, Mas. Kinan wants to meet Mas, can you, right?"

Dude immediately looks shocked to hear Kinan's request. Not because he did not want to imitate Kinan prayers, but the problem is that he had not long studied prayer and began to routinely perform mandatory worship of Muslims after Rey forced him.

"Em, congregational prayer?" answer the Dude while scratching his nape. "We should pray alone first, yes."

Kinan looked at Dude with a somewhat surprised look, but he tried to remain normal.

"What's the matter, Mom? Salad congregation, the reward is greater" replied Kinan.

Right, that's what Rey always told her. But, with Rey, Dude doesn't matter because Rey already knows that she just learned to pray. Rey also certainly understood if he was not perfect in leading the prayer. Kinan?

"Sorry, Kinan. But, I do not really understand how to pray together. My prayer reading is still very lacking. My memorandum is just a short letter, me .." the break up Dude began to clumsily explain his own shortcomings.

Kinan smiled. "It's okay, Mom. Kinan is still learning. Rey once said that Mas often pray at dawn? So, we pray together, yes," he said.

Dude took a long breath. "Hm, well, then I'll take the water first, yes."

After ablution, Dude came out of the bathroom with a face wet with ablution water. He parsed the hair in front of Kinan who was sitting waiting for the complete wearing of a mukena.

Just this time Kinan saw the Dude with a shining aura after the water soaked his face and hair. In Kinan's heart was privileged, even though it was her own husband. It was innocent to see his face, to look at him, even more than that. But the thump of his heart that resounded, until he was powerless to continue staring at the handsome face in front of him, he was too weak and ended up bowing to himself in shame.

"Kinan, let's start praying" said Dude. Kinan who flinched instantly wavered, it made Dude somewhat frown in wonder.

"You why? Do I know you?" asked Dude who was wearing a cocoa shirt and peci in front of Kinan, standing up revealing his forehead. By Allah, Kinan's heart is becoming uncontrollable.

"No, Mas. We pray now, yes."

Dude nodded then stood in front of Kinan, just above the prayer mat he uttered takbir, starting the dawn prayer.

After dawn prayers, Kinan went out of the room to the kitchen, every morning Kinan would help his mother. He also intended to do that at the Dude foster parents' house, and sure enough Fatimah's mom was cutting vegetables, maybe preparing breakfast or for lunch.

"Mom, how can I help you?" tanya Kinan approached the middle-aged woman wearing a home-made negligee complete with a small veil on her head.

"Eh, the pretty boy is awake. Still early in the morning, if you still sleep again is okay, you must be tired," said Ms. Fatimah very kindly.

"No, Ma. If said Kinan's mother, girls should not sleep again after dawn prayers," replied Kinan while showing his teeth line.

"God willing, Kinan's mother is in Jakarta? Why not bring it here? I also want to meet Besan. I'm sorry, son, because the child is married, the mother did not come" said Fatimah.

"It's okay, Mom. My marriage and Mas Dude were sudden. My mother is sick, Mom. He was treated in the hospital, so sorry not to be acquainted with the family Mas Dude," said Kinan while helping to cut up the long beans in front of him without waiting to be ordered by Fatimah ma'am.

"Oh my God, what is Kinan's mother sick?"

"Hour, Mom." Kinan smiled. "You can help cut the vegetables, ma'am."

Ms. Fatimah nodded happily. "Yes, Son. Oiya, may your mother get well soon, yes."

"Aamiin," Kinan replied.

"Where do you know Dude from, son? Are you friends or recently acquaintances and immediately married?" asked Fatimah Curious.

"Em, that, Kinan hasn't known Mas Dude for long. It just so happened that Rey was a patient at the hospital where I worked, Mom. And, I'm trusted to take care of Rey at home through a doctor's recommendation. That's when I knew Mas Dude," Kinan replied, he felt the story of the annulment of his marriage did not need to be told unless the Dude later told it.

"Oh that .... It is fitting that you get married immediately. I also hope Dude gets married soon, she is thirty years old but never once did she introduce a girlfriend, mother worried she was traumatized by marriage to see what happened to her sister. Dude had said he did not want to get married because his sister's life was destroyed, he did not want to be happy alone while his sister was hurt so deeply," said Bu Fatimah. "Something shocked mom she came to say she was married. Plus his wife is godly like you, mom is very grateful," he added.

Kinan just found out, so that's why Dude said he didn't want to get married. Then why did Dude even want to help her by marrying her?

"His name is soul mate, yes, Ki. I hope your household and the Dude last forever huh."

"Aamiin," Kinan replied.
