MY IMAM
Episode 40 Go


Raline stared at the picture frame of herself in the middle of one of her uncle's family who was on the nightstand next to her bed. His uncle's family was so kind to give him permission to be able to live in their house in Jakarta while Raline could work in Abi's office.


Raline still remembers when she was in college in her hometown in Jogja, when the semester break comes, his uncle will ask Raline to play to Jakarta so that at any time he has graduated. It is possible that in Jakarta is a suitable place for him to find a job so Raline must get used to being in Jakarta.


Raline initially refused because she did not want to trouble or trouble her uncle. However, when Abi came into his life in the middle of his college period and forced Raline to visit Jakarta at any time, then Raline would visit Jakarta every time the semester break came. In fact, he will go to Jakarta accompanied by Abi.


Honestly, it was for Raline the most beautiful times where she could go somewhere foreign but felt safe because there was one person she loved most keeping her from anything.


But everything changed when the request or the second order of Abi's parents came to him. The order was essentially to have Raline stay away from their son because they disagreed Abi had a relationship with him.


Like a de ja vu effect in his life, Raline now feels herself thrown into the past where she used to go at the end of the story so that Abi can be happy without Raline in Abi's life.


If it used to be Abi's parents who asked him to leave. But now, it was Abi himself who drove him from the man's life, so that he could be happy with a woman who if imagined for Raline was quite painful.


How painless, if the universe is like playing him with his destiny. He found Abi again when he was accustomed to forgetting the man and living without a shadow of the man. And how Raline who met with Abi when Abi who was suffering from amnesia so that he forgot himself and the good times that they had knitted together.


A drop of tears finally fell by itself on the frame of the photo that was in Raline's lap until right on the reflection of his eyes that were seen through the glass frame of the photo. Raline tried to break her heart, but still for her all this was quite chest tight.


Ralinr then carried the photo in his chest until his body began to lie on the bed of this room.


Minutes still had to be passed Raline with the sobs that never subsided until finally her eyes were closed to bring Raline to dreamland.


The next day, Raline this time chose to wake up earlier than usual. Today will probably be the day he has to go through every second with parting and crying.


Yes, today Raline decided to leave. Go back to his hometown in Jogja. Raline will leave the city as soon as possible so that the wounds that were scratched yesterday can quickly recover and dry up.


Raline came down from the top floor with a large suitcase that she pulled slowly so as not to wake up people in the house who might still be asleep because of the time that shows the beat is still too early to starting day.


"Lil."


Raline is automatically startled by a voice call that turns out to be from her uncle's aunt-wife.


"Aunty woke up? oh, sorry, nte." Raline said she regretted thinking she had awakened her aunt.


"Now, not because of you. Aunty used to wake up at this hour. Oh yeah, you're seriously going back to Jogja?"


"Yes aunty" answered Raline.


Aunt Heni pulled the niece's hand and then sat on the sofa in front of the tv.


"Tante knows how disappointed you are with Abi is Line, but that doesn't mean you have to be discouraged like this. There are still more men than your Abi in this world and you can find it. So let's go, let him go and you can stay here. Same aunt as me."


"Aunty, this time it must go like this. I'm the one who stayed away so that everything looks fine and everything becomes happy."


Aunty Heni looked at Raline's pitying face, how not her ponytail had walked the steep path of love from the beginning. Loved by a man but of a different religion then forced away by his parents then when he had almost forgotten the man he was surprised by re-encounter at Raline's new workplace with frills that the man who used to love her is now one hundred percent forgotten.


***


One family seemed so heavy that one man was about to leave them at a train station.


Aunt Heni continued to hug Raline tightly as if she did not want her nephew to leave.


"Tante will miss you Line. You know, you already consider like your own aunt, hiks. Your only aunt's daughter, auntie, you're so dear Lin. hiks."


Raline rubbed the aunt's back which kept sobbing in her arms. "Tante has cried, I'm going to be hard to go."


"That's why don't you go, Lin. Back to the house yes," persuaded Aunt Heni earlier.


"Len." It was the turn of the head of the family to speak. In contrast to his wife who looked so obvious expression sad because Raline was about to leave, Danu actually looked stoic and strong even though Raline several times caught his uncle's eyes were a little glazed though no matter how difficult it was to try to hold it.


"Om hope, whatever your decision can make you happy. You can only help prayer, son."


"Om sure."


Raline's eyes immediately glazed when she heard the cold words from her uncle who had been so good to her all this time. Raline even considered her uncle to be her own father.


After hugging with both aunt and her om, now she turned to the youngest Gilang who had just been silent next to the papa. The boy has since been told that Raline will go home and will not return to Jakarta, suddenly he immediately stopped talking to Raline when it was also total since last night Gilang broke down to speak. As if he wanted to show Raline that he was angry with Raline who wanted to leave.


Raline bent herself to be on equal footing with Gilang's body, wanting to feel the last embrace of her long-time cousin's sister before she left.


"Don't tell me you want to hug mba?"


"Relgan." Say Silang nonchalantly while turning your face.


"Yaudah deh, you will not want to go back to Jakarta if you are still a gini boy." Ledek Raline tried to stir up a commotion that often occurred among them which would usually happen if Raline call Gilang as a boy.


"I'm not a kid!"


Raline giggled amusedly, "Keep if not a boy who likes to lash. That's the boy's name."


Gilang did not answer but without a warning he immediately hit his body into Raline's body with so strong lucky Raline not to fall backward.


"Sir Raline Hiks don't go. Who will I be at home later," Gilang finally joined in crying also in Raline's arms. Even the boy was now crying so loudly that it attracted the attention of people around them.


"There are many others in the house, Gilang."


"But I want Raline too" said the boy again with a cry that did not end.


"Bak promise later mbak will often play to Jakarta really." Persuade Raline to calm the boy down.


"Promise?"


"Promise." Raline answered and then took Gilang's pinkie for her to link with hers.


The farewell event was finally interrupted with the sound of an announcement that the train that Raline was going to ride would soon depart.


Raline immediately re-examined her equipment aided by om and her aunt who were still faithful awaiting her departure.


"Be careful, Line, play to Jakarta sometime again do not continue in Jogja." Say Om danu.


"Don't forget that it's up to Jogja takainin aunty same om ya," Typal aunty Heni who occasionally sweeps his tears that sometimes like to suddenly fall from the solvent of his eyes.


"Yes aunty, om. If so I leave first, greet Rio if you have come home to make it easy, and for this child," Raline menoel Gilang nose playfully make the master back pouting, "Mbak go first yes, if you like the same Nessi said continue not in pendam, haha"


"Raline MBA!"


"Haha. Dadaahhhhh...."


Raline finally walked into the train and disappeared inside the crowd of other passengers.


Raline prayed so that she could survive her goal and did not forget she also offered prayers so that she could be very happy.
