My Imam, Surgaku
(13). My return, usher in your departure.

Azalea. His return this time is no longer about letting go of homesickness. But he came home this time to let go of one of the people he loved most in this world.

In every corner of the house many memories that seemed to be played back like a cassette. Showing a lot of memory of laughter, sadness, anxiety and fear. Azalea smiled faintly as she saw a small figure of her running around every corner of the house with her mother chasing while holding a plate filled with her lunch.

Since then, many people have come to his house. He gave a lot of condolences and encouragement to his family. Azalea simply responded with a smile and replied with her.

Husayn remained faithful beside Azalea who still remained moody. The woman's eyes had even swollen from crying for too long starting from the return of the mother to the house to deliver the mother to her final resting house.

His hands were always holding Azalea's tiny hands. Wanted to tell his universe that he would always be there for her.

Husain sad.

The universe that had been only showing the appearance of a blazing face full of happiness, the loud laughter that sounded funny in his ear and the sweet smile that became opium for him now only displayed the look of a sad face while staring blankly at the floor.

Husain longed to hold her all day just to calm and strengthen her universe. But he can not do it now because there are still many takziah who come.

Husain's mother placed the sweet food in front of Azalea who again looked pensive.

"Son, sad to be. But don't drag it. The father of Aza's mother, who was calm in Allah's heaven," advised Mother Husain.

Azalea. A smile rose on her sweet lips.

"Yes, Mother, but allow Aza today to be sad. Because after this, Aza had promised Aza's mother that Aza would be happy,"

"Alhamdulillah. Remembering the dead is indeed mandatory, so that we know that every living thing will surely die. In addition, so that we continue to send many prayers for those who have gone before us. Especially our parents,"

"Yes, Mommy. Doain Aza yes, so that Aza can skip this ordeal sincerely,"

"You can, baby. God will not give his servant a trial beyond the limits of his servant's ability. Because you can, so Allah gives you a trial by taking one of the people you love the most." said Husayn.

"Husain's right, baby. You can do it" added Husain's mother.

Gaining the support and encouragement of his family, Azalea was optimistic that he could face the trials God had given him.

"Yes, I want to go ahead first. There are still many guests coming for the funeral,"

"Yes, Mom,"

After his mother's departure, Husain directed Azalea to look at him.

"Why, Brother?" azalea was confused.

"You should eat. But before that, you wedge the stomach first with the cake you brought."

Husain's hand took one piece of melted brownie with a sprinkling of almonds on it. Bribed a piece of brownie to Azalea.

"Do you know what's sweeter than the brownies you eat?" asked Husain to melt the atmosphere.

Azalea shook her head.

"Aza doesn't know, brother. What's what?"

Husain smiled. His eyes stared deeply at Azalea's eyes.

"Smile you. Nothing can beat the sweetness of your smile. Even the sweetest sugar is less sweet with your smile,"

Azalea arrived - suddenly choked due to salting heard the sudden trembling that Husain hurled.

Husain gave Azalea a glass of water to ease her throat.

"Geez, baby, you if you salting enough of your cheeks are flushed. Do not choke on gini. Later on my brother became sick," said Husain.

"Well, what's a sick brother? Kan Aza's choking,"

"Yes, you and your brother are one. Your brother is in every body even in every stream of your blood. So are you, you are in every body and blood stream. So if you get hurt, you'll get hurt too" Husain replied flirtatiously.

The salting Azaleas turned their eyes in the other direction. Reluctant to look into the eyes of Husain who looks like he wants to tease her. Because it was too salting, Azalea even took the origin of the cake that was before her.

"Darling, don't eat." prevent Husain from seeing Azalea want to eat the cake in front of him.

"Why?"

"You don't like ant nest sponge cake,"

Azalea jerks. His eyes immediately looked at his hand which turned out to be holding an ant nest sponge like Husain said earlier.

"You know salting is more brutal now, baby. Who did not like the same ant nest sponge eh because salting so want to eat ant nest sponge," he licked Husain.

Azalea just grimaced in shame.

...-HUSAN and AZALEA-...

This evening Azalea and Husayn stayed at Azalea's house with their three brothers. They agreed to accompany father for a few days so that he did not feel lonely after being abandoned by mother.

Azalea, who had been folding some of her clothes, accidentally fell asleep on the floor covered with a fur carpet. Because Azalea folded her clothes next to Husayn who was performing the prayer witir, Azalea's feet were accidentally on top of Husayn's prayer mat.

It made Husain who was praying and wanted to do prostration, sticking his hands to touch the feet of Azalea on the alphabet. And Azalea instinctively pulled her foot from the top of Husayn's prayer mat. However, after Husayn finished prostrating, Azalea again stuck her feet in Husayn's prayer mat. Until so on what Husain did when he wanted to bow down until he finished praying.

After Husayn finished praying, Husayn grabbed the leg of Azalea which was above his alphabet to place on his lap. While reciting, Husayn massaged the leg of Azalea on his lap.

Azalea slowly opened her two eyelids. After a minute of silence, Azalea just felt that someone was massaging her legs. Buru - Buru Azalea turned to her feet.

Azalea's eyes immediately glared. His feet immediately pulled from the lap of Husain where it made Husain quite surprised.

"Astagfirullahal'adzim, sorry, Brother. Aza was not on purpose, "sorry Azalea.

Husain smiled. He reached back to Azalea's feet to put her on his lap.

"Father, baby. You will sleep again, later if you have finished reciting and praying, Brother carry you to the bed,"

Azalea was actually still sleepy. His eyes were almost closed again. But Azalea did not want to trouble Husain who was certainly also tired just like him.

Just as Azalea was about to reject Husayn's remarks, Husayn cut him off.

"Father, sweetheart. Don't worry. That brother is your husband, not someone else. So it's natural that you take care of your brother" explained Husain.

Not wanting to refute, Azalea immediately re-dilated her body. Shortly after, Azalea's eyes closed and prepared to pick up her dream.

Husain was made to chuckle amusedly looking at it.

"Be happy with the universe, brother. If the universe is sad, then brother will be sad. Love you, my universe."
