My best friend, Maduku
Back In Fragile

For a moment the two were silent with their thoughts. And a moment later, Alsya began to wake up and turned her face away from the face of the man before her.

"Sorry."

"Sorry."

It turns out that both are speaking at the same time. They both make the wrong behavior.

"Please, you first,." Said the man before Alsya then, ladys first!.

"No, it looks like you arrived first, so you took it first,." Alsya refused politely.

"But, miss..."

"Please."

Alsya cut off the man's words before finishing with his words.

"All right." The man finally complied and took some radishes and put them in his own basket, and took some more. "This is enough ?." He then asked, showing three medium-sized radishes in his grasp.

"Huhh ?. You mean?." asked Alsya confusedly.

The man smiled at the almost invisible knot and put the three turnips into Alsya's basket. "If less, can be added yourself, miss." Said the man again then stepped away leaving Alsya who was still glued to the spot.

Alsya turned her head, looked towards the man and it turned out that the man was also looking towards him.

The man smiled. "See you again." He said in a soft voice but could still be heard by Alsya.

Alsya is back. His eyes began to glance at his shopping basket, and the wry smile at the corners of his lips then shook his head strangely thinking of the man he had only realized by now if the man was the same man as the good man who was on the train last Sunday.

Alsya refocused on his goal of coming to this place. He began to browse through the rows of baskets and look for sweet and fruits that he would buy.

When she finished, Alsya pushed her shopping cart towards the cashier. As he was about to arrive, his eyes saw something a little awkward was about to happen to the middle-aged woman. Alsya sped up her pace and walked up to the woman, more precisely saving.

Alsya immediately pulled the woman's hand so she reflexively stopped her steps and immediately turned her head towards Alsya.

BRUGH !!

A shelf the size of an adult collapsed, just behind the woman.

"Astaghfirullah !!." The woman screamed a little.

Alsya was also slightly tiptoed in shock.

Almost, a shelf filled with spices in a small bottle collapsed on the old woman's body if Alsya did not immediately pull the woman's hand.

Alsya breathed a sigh of relief because nothing happened to the middle-aged woman. The woman suddenly bumped into Alsya's body and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, son. You saved me..." The woman sounded very moved.

Alsya could still feel the heartbeat of the woman who was hugging him was very tight, probably still in a state of surprised reflexes.

Alsya gently rubbed the woman's back. "Yes, Mom, you're the same."

The embrace of the two was released with the faces of the two throwing friendly smiles at each other.

"Mom's okay ?." Tanya Alsya made sure.

"Yes, I'm fine, son. Thanks again, huh?."

"Yes, Mom."

The immediate situation was boisterous as some people came to look. Some employees also seemed to be quick to clean up the mess that occurred and seen a well-dressed man approaching.

"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I am the manager here, I apologize for the incident that almost hurt you..." Said the man very politely and looked very regretful over the incident just now.

"Yes, it's okay, sir. We're okay." The woman was friendly.

"Thank you, madam. Again forgive our negligence."

"Yes, but next time it's expected to be checked all in first, yeah, let there be no such thing."

"Good, lady..."

"Yes, you can come back."

"Good, madam. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen..." Said the man very politely and passed away.

"You want to go to the cashier, son ?."

"Yes, Mom."

"Well, come on, let's go there."

"Yes." Yeah."

The two walked side by side while pushing their respective baskets towards the cashier.

"Mom's here alone ?." Ask Alsya later.

"No, I'm with my son, but I don't know where he is now ?." She looked around like she was looking for someone.

When he got to the cashier, Alsya invited the woman to the first one. The woman nodded and handed her shopping basket to count.

"My name is Alsya, ma'am."

"Alsya, a pretty name, just like the guy." Said the woman with a smile.

Alsya blushed with the compliment but she only showed a sweet smile in response. "Thank you,." Alsya's words were still smiling.

The cashier handed over the woman's groceries after the woman paid for them.

"Awhile, madam. Son Alsya let's hand over your groceries, let them all be counted together." Said the woman holding her atm card which will be handed back by the cashier, making Alsya shocked.

"Oh, no ma'am, thank you, I'll pay for it myself." Reject Alsya is not good.

"It's okay, son. Think of it as a sign of gratitude for you saved me earlier." The middle-aged woman said a little forcefully.

Alsya shook her head quickly. "It's okay, Mom. I sincerely helped my mother, sorry I did not reject the kindness of my mother, but I really could not accept it,... I'm sorry, yeah." Alsya said carefully so as not to make the woman hurt.

The woman seemed to be breathing heavily. "Well, do you think it's okay, son." The woman finally said with a smile.

Alsya smiles and nods and gives up her groceries to count and pays for them with her own ATM.

After completing the payment, Alsya said goodbye because he could not be out too long while his own son was entrusted to others. Alsya booked a vehicle online while accompanying the woman waiting for her son who she said was being told to buy some vegetables, and neither did she have a nose.

Notification that if the order was in front, Alsya immediately informed the woman and greeted the woman with respect. "I'm first, Mom." Politely said.

"Yes, kid. Be careful on the road, and next time stop by mother's place."

"God willing, Mom. Assalamualaikum..."

"Goddessalam..."

Alsya came out of the store approaching the online vehicle that had been ordered, then got into the car and a moment later the car began to move.

Alsya did not realize it if there was currently a pair of eyes had noticed him from earlier. A pair of eyes belonged to the man who had met him for the second time. The man smiled looking at Alsya who was starting to travel away, maybe going home.

Late at night, after a deep sleep Alsya seemed to feel something waking up. Alsya glanced at the wall clock that showed at two o'clock in the morning, which means that what woke him up was the Maha Rahman and Rahim who called him to complain when everyone slept quietly in his sleep.

Alsya glanced towards her son who was sleeping quietly with a very adorable body position. "Prince Ummi... Grow up as a responsible man, son. Be a man who upholds the degree and honor of a woman." Alsya muttered softly while kissing her son's forehead a long time later turning on both cheeks.

Alsya got out of bed and immediately purified herself to perform the night prayer.

The atmosphere of the night is quiet, silent, and only befriends the clockwise seconds that continue to go. Alsya felt a very calm calm when Kalam takbir said on his lips. His heart was serene as the chants of the verses from the short surah melodiously flowed out of his vocal cords. Continuing until the moment when the forehead meets the prayer mat, heart, body, soul, mind, everything feels calm, comfortable and peaceful is a beauty that can only be felt when performing night prayers.

After closing the prayer with the last greeting, Alsya continued with the long thoughts she had once received while studying at the pesantren. Then continued again with do'a solemnly until tears as if flooding soaked both cheeks.

Alsya sobbed at the same time as kalam pinta to Lillah who spoke with lips that shook violently from crying.

...Yes Rabbana......

...To you I beg and offer you a pinta....

...Servants call for forgiveness for all Lena....

...Yes Rabbana......

...The heart of the servant is still wounded....

...Servant comes to You to ask for the antidote....

...Yes Rabbana......

...You are the best Plan Manager....

...Servant is sure that behind all this lara You prepare the best thing for the servant....

...Yes Rabbana......

...This heart is still tied to one name that has always been a complement in every pinta hopefully....

...Slave sincerely loves your creation....

...I present my love to one of Your creations without neglecting to present You at every step....

...If this is my best path according to you....

...Servant please, may you free this heart to be patient and sincere when releasing it......

Alsya sobbed violently as Kalam-Kalam pinta was skyrocketed. His cries broke the silence and silence tonight.

He is without shame before the Almighty God. He was none other than one of the greatest sinners, who came with inhibition to the Determinant of Life.

Without feeling it, it turns out time is so fast to pass. Kumandang adzan Subuh has been hummed. It penetrates and blends with the morning air that pierces and cools.

Alsya ended his prayer and then again took ablution to continue the next prayer.

After the dawn prayer, Alsya did not immediately rise from his seat and instead lay his body on the expanse of his alphabet with eyes still moist because of crying earlier.
