The day was getting dark, the light of the sun changed with the darkness of the night covered in cloudy clouds. Downstream the invited guests slowly disappear leaving family and relatives who are cool in chatting.
Cila was seen yawning several times because the child's sleeping hours had passed. And he whined to go home in Elea's arms.
The wedding party is held in a luxury hotel, they can sleep in one of the rooms that have been booked. But back, Cila wanted to sleep with Mother in her room.
“Tila want tidul tama Bunah dikamal Tila. Want to stay at the hotel!” whinek Cila again.
Mama Nira repeatedly asks her granddaughter to sleep together in the hotel room so as not to disturb the first night of Ardha and Elea.
“Cila, Darling. Tonight Cila slept with Oma aja huh? Later Oma buyin doll rat big!” persuade Mama Nira to give up her granddaughter.
Cila shook her head “Nda want!” reject Cila with a reddened face because she wants to shed tears.
“Let Cila be with Elea, Mah.”
“But, Nak—“
“Ga what, Mah. Elea said, let Cila take us home. Ardha is afraid that if too imposing will result in the health of Cila. ”
Ardha interjected, although Cila's condition gradually improved still the child must be diligent to take the drug while waiting for kidney donors.
Mama Nira did not interrupt and let Ardha and Elea say goodbye with a heavy heart.
During the journey, not a single word came from the mouths of the two. Ardha and Elea are both silent because they don't know where to start a conversation.
Cila closed her eyes in Elea's lap. Both of her hands tightly hugged Elea's body.
The new four-wheeled vehicle stopped after being in front of the fence. Waiting open and heading to the garage where the last stop is.
Ardha glanced at Elea while releasing the coiled sealbet on her body, binding it as a form of rescue.
Elea had a little trouble opening the car door because Cila's body was still attached like a koala. Until the door opens from the outside and Ardha's hands are stretched out to help take Cila to get Elea out of the car easily.
“Let me carry!”
Elea nodded because honestly her hands were cramped because Cila's body which was almost an hour faithfully was in her lap.
Elea's suitcase was taken down from the trunk by the worker and a thank you note was made afterwards.
Elea pulled the suitcase a little hastily as it caught up with Ardha who had climbed some stairs.
Ardha opened the door with one hand and placed Cila right on the soft bed.
“This is Cila's room,” said Ardha after staring at Elea.
Elea just nodded and let Ardha pass leaving her together with Cila.
Elea interprets that Ardha wants to say that Cila's room is also her room, which means she sleeps with Cila. Right, that's what Ardha meant that Elea understood.
Elea puts the suitcase in the corner of the room, she wants to rest because the event is going on enough to make her tired.
It did not take long, because after Elea laid her body beside Cila, her eyes were tightly closed and headed for the subconscious.
While on one side, Ardha is in the main room which is not too far from Cila's room. Just separate a hallway to where some of Cila's big toys are placed. The hallway to the balcony if the feet keep on stepping.
Ardha's body was restless waiting for the arrival of the person he was waiting for, and of course waiting for Elea.
Ardha clucked and took the initiative following Elea out of impatience. Ardha's emotions overflowed when she saw Elea who was asleep while hugging Cila.
“Ck, he doesn't want to be with me!” Ardha snorted in annoyance and stepped back into his room with a mouth that just kept grumbling.
Ardha was so upset, was she so bad in Elea's eyes that during the first night alone she preferred to sleep with Cila.
Ardha's self-esteem collapsed. He broke down while continuing to curse.
Morning is welcome but the sun has not yet appeared and may still be embarrassed.
The sound of a frying pan with a jangled spatula filled the kitchen. Elea had been busy cutting and sauteing vegetables for breakfast. He did not fulfill the obligation of prayer because the month was coming.
Just a simple breakfast because it suits the contents of the refrigerator, stir-fried broccoli and also indigo fried as a side dish has been presented neatly on the table.
Before awakening Cila, Elea took the initiative to awaken Ardha first. Many times Elea knocked until the sound of the key was played tickled the ear.
“You just woke up?” Elea asked as she looked at Ardha's half-conscious face.
“Hmm!”
“Udah pray?”
Prayer is taboo to Ardha. He has not been performing prayers for a long time and may have forgotten how to recite them.
“Not a lo affair!”
The regret about last night is still lodged in Ardha's mind.
“Sholat used to be still there is time, only after that you have breakfast. I've cooked for us to eat together,”Elea said kindly even though it sounded sniffy in Ardha's ear.
“Kalo I don't want?”
“Salat is an obligation for Muslims, a timed fardu for the faithful.”
“Lo lecturing me?”
Elea shook her head then again said “Just remind,”
After that, Elea's body slowly disappeared from the sight of Ardha who was only silent without being able to answer Elea's words.
The woman turned to wake up Cila to teach the little girl to fulfill the five-time obligation even though it is not mandatory for children the age of Cila but at least get used to it.
“Talat is what, Bunah? What talat it can money rich biata Papih kelta?” Cila asked as Elea asked the little girl for prayers.
“Salat it is an obligation for every Muslim who has committed to Allah. Do you know who God is?”
Cila shook her head with an adorable face as she had just woken up from sleep.
“Allah it is the substance that has created the Sky where the moon, the sun, the stars and his friends. Also created the Earth and its contents such as the sea, mountains, animals and even God has also created Mother, Cila, papih, Oma, also Opa.” Clearly Elea with as much as possible for Cila to understand.
“Well, rich in vitamins that we drink to keep our body healthy, kill bad germs that can make us sick. While praying kills diseases such as envy, arrogance and his friend who is not good,” explained Elea.
“Tila want to install ili bial assembler and his mint is dead!” cila was enthusiastic.
Elea took Cila to the bathroom for ablution.
Behind the wall, Ardha who was eavesdropping and returned to step foot into his room. Pick up the phone and start browsing something.
The correct manner of prayer!
