Aura Pov.

Several months had passed since Brother Mea and Bang Rafli suddenly came to the house.

Mom and I haven't heard from them. Mother also did not want to contact my Brother, said Mother let them both be independent first, I do not want to be too involved in the affairs of the household of the child and his daughter-in-law.

I'm sure, if there's anything later, Mea will definitely contact us. After all, there was a father-in-law who always defended him. My heart feels calmer. But still the longing gets bigger and bigger.

"Mom, Sister kangen with Sister Mea. How's it going now, Mom?" I said while watching TV with my mom.

"Mother is also kangen, Nduk. But Brother hasn't told you anything yet. Yesterday before she came home, I had a message 'Kabarin Mommy if you have moved to a new house,' but now there is still no call." said I explained at length. The worry was clearly on Mom's face.

"Do we call Bang Rafli, ma'am?" I said try to raise Mom's spirit.

"No, Sister. I'm still so bad for him." replied Mom.

"Yes, Mom. My sister is still with him. So men can't be assertive." I said ketus.

"Hurm." Mother sighed.

Indeed, since then, my mother and I have become less fond of Bang Rafli. But if her nature changes later, maybe me and Mom can appreciate it again. As a son-in-law and brother-in-law.

At night, when I was lying in my room.

Drt.. Drt.. Drt... My phone rang a sign of an incoming call.

I immediately grabbed my salary and I saw a call from an unknown caller.

Since I don't like answering phones from unknown callers, I just ignore those calls.

Then enter a message from a foreign number just now.

"Sik, this is Brother's number" he wrote. "Well, this must be Brother Mea." I murmured inwardly.

I got out of bed and looked for Mom.

"Moeuuu... Brother Mea, ma'am." I said a little scream.

"Where?" ask Mom curious.

"Shortly, Mom. Brother call first." I said. Then I made a call.

Tutt... Tutt... Tutt's... Connected call sign. I patiently waited until the owner of the number answered my call.

"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum." said someone from across the street. This voice is so familiar. Make no mistake, this is my brother's golden voice.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Brother Mea." I said. There was a feeling of harrumph in my heart, probably because I hadn't heard her voice in a long time.

"Yes, Sister." he said. I handed my salary to Mom.

I saw that Mom's eyes were already glazed when she heard the voice of her eldest daughter. Maybe a mother's longing for children, different from a Sister's longing for Brother.

That feeling will only be understood one day, if I am already in that position. Being a Mother.

"Mom kangen, Sis." said Mother, the clear details have now flowed on both cheeks of Mother who has begun to wrinkle.

"Same, Mom. Mea also misses Mother, misses the sister." he said.

"Yes, Brother. My sister is also kangen. Whose cell phone number is this, brother?" My toot.

"This is my sister's phone number. In save yes." he replied.

"Ok, Brother." I said.

"Mea can use a cell phone now, son?" ask Mother.

"Well, new HP. Where's the old HP, brother?" my many.

"It's busted. Because it has not been used for a long time. So it can't be cased anymore" he replied.

"Oh, unfortunately." I said.

"Where is Mea now?" ask Mother.

"Alhamdulillah Mea and Bang Rafli have moved into a new house, Ma'am. It's been a week." he replied.

"Alhamdulillah." said I and Mother simultaneously.

"Farhan how's it going, son?" ask Mother.

"Thank God be good, ma'am." replied Mea.

"Mother was happy to hear Mea had moved into a new house. What else now Mea has been given permission to use a mobile phone. Definitely Rafli's attitude is now much better than before, right, son?"

"Yes, Mom. Mea is also very grateful now that she is not living with Mama anymore. So Mama can no longer arrange Bang Rafli. If Mama had always interfered with our household, Bang Rafli could not be independent and could not make his own decisions. In the past Mea was not allowed to play Bang Rafli HP also because of the proposal from Mama" said Kak Mea at length.

"Yes, Son. What has passed does not need to be discussed anymore. The important thing now is that Mea has lived a much better life than before" said Mother.

"Yes, Mom. Alhamdulillahot. Now Mea can call Mom and Aura often."

"Yes, I'm so grateful."

"Sister's house is far away not from Bang Rafli's parents' house?" my many.

"Not too far. It's still a complex one." replied Mea.

"His brother comes often?" ask again.

"No, now that Mama's home is there to accompany her. Anisa has graduated from college, so she can accompany Mama at home." explained Kak Mea.

"Oh, Anisa's Bang Rafli's sister huh, sister?"

"Yes" he answered.

"Mea doesn't feel the hassles of taking care of the house while looking after Farhan?" ask Mother.

"Actually bother, Mom. So Bang Rafli proposed that clothes be washed and ironed with Bi Jumi."

"Owh, so. That Jumi Bi came to the house?" ask Mom again.

"Yes, Mom. In a week Bi Jumi came twice." replied Brother Mea.

"Alhamdulillah, our wheels have turned. We used to wash and dress our neighbors. Now Mea instead has Bi Jumi to wash and iron her clothes, hehe." I said and smiled happily.

"Yes, Alhamdulillah. Moreover, Bi Jumi is very good. If you're done washing and ironing, he will definitely cook a side dish for Brother before going home." explained Kak Mea.

"Alhamdulillah, Son. I'm happy for Mea. Now I don't have to worry anymore." said Mom happy.

"Yes, Mom. Alhamdulillah." said Kak Mea who from his tone also heard that he felt very happy.

"Sister is happy too, brother." - My dream.

No matter how difficult life we live today, God must have prepared wisdom on the contrary. Believe in Him, that the happiness He has prepared is even more beautiful than what we imagine.

To hope in Allah and surrender to Allah is the right decision and will not be in vain.

"O you who believe, make patience and prayer your help, verily Allah is with those who are patient." (Q.S.Al-Baqarah verse 153).

I also believe that the happiness that God has prepared for me must be extraordinary. I just need to be patient a little more, until I approach my true happiness.
