The Part 20
"Aspie..."
"Asma.bangun, it's dawn since "
"Aspie..." Lita shook Asma's body several times, until finally the girl opened her eyes slowly, but when she saw Lita, she was wide-eyed and immediately sat down, he looked around as if he was in a strange place.
"L....Lita?" he seemed to want to make sure that in front of him was indeed Lita. of course his cousin was astonished by the behavior of Asthma.
"Yes, why?" Asthma rubbed her face. And he was surprised because there was a prayer beads in his hand, as he remembered he draped the beads into his neck.
"Kok I can hold this bagbih?" he asked himself, but Lita who heard that immediately replied.
"It's not just a hand, but you hold it tightly, I wanted to see, but you didn't want to take it off. Oh yeah, the tasbih is so pretty, where did you buy it?" asked Lita while pulling Asma down from the bed, she also cleaned her bed.
"This is.this is not mine" said Asma but her mind was still remembered in her dream. He even doubted if it was a dream, it felt so real. Even I can still remember that fragrant scent, the laughter of the child.
"Continue having who?" without answering, Asma immediately went to the bathroom, he took ablution and prepared to pray at dawn with Lita who was waiting.
"Asma, where did you get that prayer beads from? I also want dong, very beautiful tasbihnya" cried Lita.
"Sholat first, Ta. You're a priest"
"You want to be older"
"You go, come on. Later in the afternoon" Lita also relented and immediately began praying.

At the Asthma house, everything has been finished congregational morning prayers without Asthma, they think Asthma is still confined to the room. Until the sun rises, because Asma has not come out too, Aisyah also intends to check into her room. He knocked on the door of Asthma's room several times but there was no answer. Feeling was was was approaching her, Aisyah immediately looking for a spare key in her parents' room, once in can, she immediately opened the door Astma with that key, and, and how surprised he did not find Asthma in his room, his bed was still neat, and the window opened as if to confirm what Asthma had done.
"AMBIS... UMMIS... ASTHMA'S RUNNING AWAY AGAIN..." Aisyah shouted while running to find her parents. Ummi who was in the kitchen, immediately ran to Aisyah.
"Dad, what's wrong?" ask Ummi to panic
"Asma ran away, Ummi" Ummi who heard it immediately shocked and fell unconscious, lucky Adil immediately came and caught Umm Kulsum before lying on the floor.
"Ummi... " Fairly patting Ummi's cheek was "Aisyah, why did Ummi faint?"
"Asma ran away, sister" Aisyah replied as she helped Adil lift his Ummi.
"That kid. really..." Fair seemed to be holding back her anger. Adil and Aisha laid her Ummi to the bed, hearing the commotion, Aqilah came with Khadijah and Bilal.
"Ummi.." cried Aqilah worried who had seen his Ummi lying pale. Soon their father also came and was very surprised to see his wife who was unconscious.
" Sister, what's wrong?" ask Aquilah
"What is this, fair? Why did Ummi faint?"
"Asma ran away again, Abi" hearing Aisha's words, everyone was shocked especially Bilal and Khadijah.
"But when? I mean, last night we had a chance to talk" between Khadijah who immediately got the attention of Aisyah.
"Speak what?" Aisyah asked in an annoyed tone and looked at Khadijah with an accusatory look
"Dear..." Aqilah rebuked her and it made Aisha even more upset.
"Have it. You should look for Asthma, maybe he's around the house. Let Abi take care of Ummi" they ordered Abi to do it immediately.
Adil and Bilal go to Asma's room, while Khadijah, Aisyah, and Aqilah search around the house and school area.
Bilal was surprised to see the Asma's room window open wide, he checked it. He thought Asthma must have come out of there, because the window wasn't too high.
"Where do you think he escaped?" bilal asked as he checked Astma's room, who knew he had a clue.
"So, no one can fill the girl's head" Exclaimed Fair as he opened the Asthma closet, and the closet was still full of clothes.he also checked the study table, he found a laptop, he said, his wallet and even his hp charger are there.
"Asma did not run away, Bilal" said Adil
"meaning? Aisyah said she ran away"
"He's still around here, if he runs away, he's definitely carrying his stuff. But the cell phone charger he's not carrying"
"Maybe he's hunting "
"He never hunted if he wanted to escape, he always prepared everything... "
"Lita's House. I saw them very close ", Bilal continued.
"Exactly" Bilal immediately contacted Lita's phone, but there was no answer.
"How's it?" ask Bilal
"Not yet lifted"
"Try the parents' phone"
"Freely, Lita and Asma always work together, Lita's parents will not know Asthma there" Fair also once again tried her.

While at Lita's house, Lita was staring at the screen of her phone that kept ringing.
"Whatever, just don't tell me I'm here" Lita could only sigh and she answered Fair's call.
"Assalamualaikum, Brother Fair. What's up?"
"Girishalam, Lita. Asma's there?" from the tone of Adil's speech, it was certain that the man was furious Lita thought. He glanced at Asma who was still struggling with his blanket.
"Emm. no, Brother Fair" Lita replied hesitantly.
"Don't try to lie, Lita. Adil knew Asma was there" hearing that, Lita kept the phone away from her ear and whispered to Asma.
"He knows you're here he said. How's dong?"
"Where is he from?"
"Where do I know "
"Lita....?" Fair call from across the phone.
"Yes brother... Asthma is not here, Brother Fair"
"Asma wasn't at home, she went and didn't bring anything but her cell phone, she must have been there, right? Give her HP to Asthma!" Lita also can not refuse the order Fair, not only two or three times he hit the spray Fair because of Asthma. Lita hands her phone to Asma, and the girl picks it up lazily.
"Yes sis.." said Asma in a soft voice.
"Back, Asthma!" the command of Just being angry made Asthma sigh.
"Sister, Asthma is just.."
"what's free? When will you continue to be like a child, Asthma? You're an adult, act like an adult, you know, Ummi's in shock because you ran away again, she's passed out now "
"A..who? Ummi fainted? Brother Adil how is Ummi? " Astma asked with great concern
"Stop calling me sister if anything happens to Ummi. Now home...!"
Asthma tears immediately fell and flowed freely on her cheeks hearing the words of Adil who seemed very angry to say the sad thing, Adil is indeed firm on Asthma, he said, but only this time he spoke rudely to make Asthma cry.
"Sister.l." he called his sister very sadly, but there was no answer.
"Hello, sis.kak Adil.." his cry broke when Adil cut off his phone call. Asthma's mentality was getting shaken up, and she was getting hit by this severe ordeal. Asma hid her face on the pillow and continued to cry venting her heart, Lita who saw it became unbearable, even she began to cry to see the state of Asthma.
"Asma... has dong crynya, I also want to cry this" said Lita with a vibrating voice, but it makes Asma increasingly sob, sobbing, so angry Adil to say words that cut his heart. Lita took her cousin in her arms, rubbing her back to calm him down.
"Please, God must have a wonderful plan for you."
Meanwhile, Aisyah who heard the words Adil on Asma immediately made her blood rise.
"What's that Brother Fair talking about?" for the first time, Aisyah dared to say in a high tone to their eldest brother "Well you can understand the feelings of Asthma even a little..aja brother? At a time like this, he needs us, needs our support and guidance "
"But he's gone too far, Aisyah.Ummi also fainted when he ran away, and somehow it did not make him deterred, or at least think about the feeling of Ummi and Abi, and at least, he couldn't understand Ummi's concerns about him."
"Aisyah knows Kak. But he's just going to Lita's house, not running away. Maybe he just wanted to calm himself down."
"By jumping through the window?"
"The front door lock is the same Brother Fair, do you think Asma will ask for the key in the middle of the night and then go out? I'm sure brother won't be ngizinin"
Fair can no longer say a word. Maybe what Aisyah said was true. Bilal who listened to the brother-sister debate felt very guilty but he did not know what to do, everything had already happened.
"Try once Adil Brother imagined being in the position of Asthma, yesterday everything was fine, he was just our little brother who still enjoyed his teenage years, and suddenly he was hit with a reality that maybe he never even imagined"

Lita drove Asma home, and when she got home, they went straight to Asma's mother in her room. Instantly Asthma's heart felt very sore to see the state of Ummi's pale. And Asma cursed herself for the situation.when not a bit she had the intention to run away, she just felt she needed time alone, that's why she left home.
Asthma and Lita sitting next to Asthma's Mother. As if sensing the presence of her daughter, Mother Asthma instantly opened her eyes, and she looked at Asthma full of worry.
"Yes Allah....Asthma. Where have you been, son? Why go and say" Asma kissed Ummi's hand and her tears wet her mother's hand that had begun to wrinkle it.
"Sorry Asthma, Ummi. Asthma has made Ummi sick"
"Ummi's not sick, honey. Ummi's just a soy sauce" Asma knew Ummi was lying, and it made her feel even more guilty.
"Asma has no intention of escaping, Ummi. Asthma just wants to be alone"
"Yes, Ummi knows. Sorry Ummi and Abi son, if our decision makes you sad. We knew we were wrong, we should have told you first" Asma fell silent and she could only bite her lips to hold her sobs" You've eaten, honey?" continued her mother. Asthma nodded while removing the remaining tears that wet her cheeks.
"Udah, Bi" Lita interrupted "Udah eat rice, fried chicken pakek while, rice at Lita's house she is a natabisin" Asma's mother laughed at Lita's chattering, while Asma was no longer interested in Lita's jokes, Lita said, he remembered his sister's words, and he felt very sad about it. Somehow he was going to face his elder brother that was.
Soon the door opened, when Asma turned his head he saw Adil coming, as soon as Asma immediately threw away his face, he was indeed sad with the words Fair, but he was also upset that Fair couldn't understand him. Just walk and stand on the side of the bed. Fair to look at Asthma who is still throwing faces, Asthma's eyes are swollen, her face is swollen, never Fair to see Asthma in this situation and it makes Adil feel more guilty about Asthma. As a sister, she should have appeared as her brother's protector and entertainer, not making her sadder.
"Have you come home?" Fair asked softly, but Asthma refused to answer. Fair to understand the anger of Asthma, he also sat beside Asthma. he wiped the rest of the tears in the corner of Asthma's eyes.
"I'm sorry, you shouldn't have said that "
"I am evil" exclaimed Asma with eyes that returned glazed. Adil immediately brought Asthma into his embrace, Asthma had refused but Adil still hugged him.
"Yes, Kaka is already evil because it makes Asma cry, but Kaka talks like that just because of the same worry Ummi, Dek. Sorry brother yes" Adil rubbed his head dear. Asma did not answer but he returned Adil's embrace, his mother and Lita smiled seeing that, and Adil's heart felt calmer now.
