Walk in the silence of the night. Illuminated by street lights, Aisha walked while saying the words of Allah. Actually he's scared out at night. But he's a submissive brother.
Aisha felt something strange. There were sounds of rumbling.
“It's quiet, what's that rumbling sound?”
Say Aisha in the heart. He even felt like he was following someone. But he couldn't look back. He just quickened his pace. Getting faster. And…
Hiduprak! the sound of someone falling.
“Huaaaa..huaaa.”.
Aisyah heard the crying voice of a child. He turned around and looked back. There was someone who had fallen near the courtyard of the people's house. Darkened. Aye! He saw a child crying. Soon Aisyah carried the child. Aisyah was looking for lighting, looking for lights on that street.
After walking and being under that lamp. He calmed the little boy. Look closely. That's Hendra. Unfortunately, he did not recognize the boy.
All Aisha does every day is homework. Also takes care of her brother. The rest is filled with worship, teaching. Sometimes he watches soap operas on television. He's an outmoded man. He rarely opens social media. Even he rarely opens Youtube, just knowing that Youtube exists.
And Alex, when the shawl was held by Alex. That was the first time she met Alex. He didn't see Hendra at the time. Covered by Alex's body. After all, Aisyah was a little afraid to see Alex. For staking without saying.
Aisyah was confused as to where the child was going. But she was waiting for her brother. To keep the little boy safe. Aisyah intended to take him.
Aisyah walked back to the supermarket. Buying koyok while holding Hendra. Hendra looks relaxed, occasionally his hands want to reach some supermarket products.
“Adik want?”
Say Aisyah to Hendra. Aisyah is quite sensitive. He bought Hendra some snacks. Pay for groceries and go home.
On the way home Hendra ate his snacks. He's starving, it's been the night he hasn't had dinner. That's why he's trying to find his father. His stomach was still hungry at the time.
Aisyah felt sore. Carrying Hendra is already quite heavy. He also could not bear to take Hendra on foot. Pretty far away for a little boy to walk like that. But what can be done. He put Hendra on the side of the road. The koyok she bought for her brother, she opened it and put it on her right arm.
“Ahhhh.
Aisyah breathed a sigh of relief. The fading disappeared replaced with a hot taste. Then he took Hendra back and walked home.
Arriving at home. Aisyah was a bit hesitant to bring Hendra in. Afraid her brother is angry. It was enough for her to become a burden on her brother. But he was also a kasian and could not bear to leave the boy on the streets. Finally Aisyah ventured.
“Assalamualaikum.”
Hail Aisha, which her brother answered. Aisyah was silent in front of her brother.
“Whose son is Aisyah?.”
Ask Tuti ma'am.
“Unni don't get mad just yet, this kid's stranded. I found it on the street. I can't bear to see Uni. Can he just stay with us?”
Aisha tried to explain in fear. Bu Tuti approached while watching Hendra. And ting! The lights are on Tuti's head.
“Aisyahhhhh. Aisyahhhh....!“.
Miss Tuti is screaming hysterically!. Aisyah was getting scared and hugged Hendra tightly. Just in case Tuti's mom forced him to take Hendra right.
“Sini-here dear...here cup cup cup.”.
Bu Tuti pulls Hendra but Aisyah refuses to give. Bu Tuti forced.
“Don't Uni, don't dump please.”
The more tightly Aisyah embraced Hendra. Begging his brother.
“Hahahahaa …. Aisyah Aisyah!”
Bu Tuti was carried away. He's very happy now.
“Aisyah do you know what this sign is? This is your destiny Aisyah. This child is your destiny. It is no longer wrong for you to pray. Hahahaha.”.
Madam Tuti spoke and laughed again.
“Sholat it's the obligation of the Union. Not praying is sinful.”
Answer Aisyah plain. Mrs Tuti is offended now. As if Aisyah was insinuating. But Tuti's mom understands that it's not innuendo. Except for the innocent attitude of the sister.
“Alright I change, it is not wrong for you to be diligent in teaching. Just so you know Aisyah. This boy is Alex's son. Our neighbor. Hahahaha.”.
Miss Tuti was excited. He forgot about the pain in his back.
“Alex? Who is Alex Uni?”
Aisyah's confused. He doesn't know anyone named Alex.
“Hahahaha.. Aisyahhh..
Bu Tuti simply replied with a loud laugh followed by shouting Aisyah. Her cheeks are sore now.
“Begini Aisyah, do you know our next-door neighbor?.”
“Pak joko?”
Answer Aisha.
“Not-no! Neighbor on the right.”
Sahut bu Tuti's. Aisha tried to remember. Sontak Aisyah gave Hendra to her brother.
“That's Alex?”
“Really! That's Alex. Duda cool dream of women. Rich and kind. And very handsome😍”
Said bu Tuti spirit.
“Hemm... Yes heck handsome but weird.”.
Said Aisha in the heart.
“Come quickly now we go to Alex.”
Bu Tuti quickly pulled Aisyah's hand. Aisha refuses to go to Alex's house.
“Come Aisyah. Come..”
Bu Tuti tried to pull Aisyah's hand. But Asiyah seemed to refuse. Lekas bu Tuti pulled out his fierce face. If it is like that, inevitably Aisyah must obey.
Soon Tuti and Aisyah's mom are headed for Alex's house. Not to forget Aisyah is still holding Hendra. But unfortunately after squeezing many times the house was not open. Alex hasn't arrived since reporting.
Bu Tuti checked the Aisyah bag. There's a flat object there. Just go ahead, Tuti's mom took that thing. And call Mr. Didit. Of course Aisyah kept Didit's phone number. Because he's RT's at the compound.
“Assalamualaikum sir Didit, this is my Tuti. Is there a phone number Alex?.”
Ask Tuti ma'am. He glanced at Aisyah while blinking his eyes.
“Walaikumsalam. I'm on my way home now with Alex.”
Answer mr. Didit succinctly.
“Loh is with Alex? Where did sir come from?”
Ask Tuti's mom again who's pretending not to know.
“Youngest son sir Alex lost bu. So we went to the police station together.”
Obviously mr. Didit. It was directed by Alex and Abipraya.
“Do not worry sir, Hendra is safe with Aisyah.”
Sahut bu Tuti's.
“Aalhamdulillah's. Mom's serious right?”
Ask Mr. Didit again.
“Serious sir. Just go home now. We wait on the terrace of the house Alex.”
Obviously, Mrs Tuti.
“Good ma'am. Thank you bu”
Mr. Didit.
“Alhamdulillaahhh sir Alex let's go home. Hendra is already at home.”
Said Mr. Didit pleased. Alex and Abipraya are grateful. Lekas Abipraya increased his speed. To get to Alex's house quickly.
Setttt….! Back Abipraya braked suddenly. But Alex and Didit were ready. The event kepentok dashboard or chair has not been repeated. The three of them rushed down from the car.
The cherry blossoms fell on Aisyah. The piano music echoed in Alex's ears. Alex looked at Aisyah not blinking.
“Bidfrom surgaku.”
He murmured in his heart. Ms. Tuti smiles. He realized Alex was amazed to see his sister. Instantly he nudged Aisyah's hand. Aisyah cuek's.
“Come quickly give her child.”
Bu Tuti whispered while pushing Aisyah. Aisha almost fell. Didn't fall, but almost. But Alex quickly caught Aisyah's hand, wondering if she really fell.
Silent atmosphere. Mr. Tuti, Mr. Didit, Abipraya as if watching the film FTV Sctv. Even Hendra was silent. It seemed like everyone present at that moment was supportive.
He saw his hand held by Alex. Aisha pulled her hand.
“Not muhrim. Sorry.”
Speak softly. Alex melts the eczema tub in the sun. He forgot about Nindi. Nindi suddenly disappeared from her memory. And all this time he never forgot Nindi.
Aisyah please leave after giving Hendra to Alex. Alex just stared at Aisyah. Aisha was scared. Soon he'll be home leaving Alex and the others. But Alex did not blink her eyes looking at Aisyah until she disappeared behind the door.
Bu Tuti followed his sister. Abipraya waved in front of Alex's face. Still he didn't blink.
“Sir Alex, maybe this is called destiny.”
Said Mr. Didit smiling. Alex is conscious and misbehaving.
“Alex I said yes.”
Abipraya.
“Iya sir me too.”
Said mr. Didit.
One by one the men left. Alex was still standing in his yard. Looking at the door of Tuti's house, where her heavenly angel disappeared.
