Naina(The Same Perfection)
Naina's home
Ali knocked on the door of his sister Azizah's house repeatedly but his sister and two nephews were not heard.
” Assalamu'alaikum Azizah” exclaimed Ali somehow already how many times. Ali returns to his hometown to see his younger brother Azizah, who lives in his mother's grandmother's house.
” Wa'alaikumussalaam mas” replied Azizah who was stepping in holding her children's hands. Robi and Eve. Ali turned his head and the two children ran after him.
” Assalamu'alaikum” says Ali soft.
” Wa'alaikumussalaam uncle” replied Robi and Eve compact.
” Go home do not say, let's go in” invite Azizah after opening the door.
” Why can't I come here Azizah? where is your husband?”
” Yes yes mas, time can not. Mas Eza again work sif morn” Azizah replied and she went to make a drink. Ali took out the toys and food she brought for everyone.
” Uncle, said great-grandmother uncle who will marry?" Eve asked.
” Later uncle will marry” Ali smile.
” Grandma is already impatient to see mas Ali married” added Azizah while putting a glass of warm tea on the table.
” Ah grandma fuss about her work, I marry later if you have met her mate. If the meaning-force origin choose I do not want to risk” added Ali and Azizah smiled.
” Why would Ali want to graduate the cottage too?”
" Yes do not have to deck, graduates from anywhere are not a guarantee of the girl is good or not. I want one that accepts me as I am, that's enough”
” But I can't wait to have a sister-in-law from Ali”
” Yes later” Ali smile.
” Anyway mas Ali must have a wife this year, so let both men”
” Yes Allah Azizah, can not be forced. Do'ain aja, Ali has been diem” long ago upset to hear the babbling of his sister. Azizah chuckled at the expression on her brother's face.

At nightfall, Naina arrived at her house and her family who had been sleeping long enough to open the door. Laila boarded the trip and didn't say anything that she was going home.
” Thanks bu” said Naina as her mother placed one glass of warm tea on the table.
” Come drink, you must be tired”
” Why come home suddenly?”
” Naina..” Lirih Naina and looked at her parents fixed, her tears dripping down until Ratna's mother and Pak Fahmi looked at each other confusedly. Naina keeps crying while telling her what happened, the accident 11 years ago and Syam who divorced her repeatedly until the talaq ran out. But when Syam called Naina yesterday and Naina did not answer her call, Naina was not ready to talk again to the man who had hurt her, insulted her and played with marriage. Ms. Ratna and Mr. Fahmi were devastated to hear Naina's story.
” Yes already” said mr Fahmi with a voice so heavy and very slow. Ms. Ratna could not speak anymore, she just cried hearing her son being tormented.

The next day, Naina was heading to Husna's house with food for her brother. Naina frowned when she saw a man wearing Koko's clothes, wearing a sarong and a peci who had just come out through the mosque fence. After performing the Ashar prayer. Naina was silent until she passed the man and caught a glimpse of his face.
” Mas Ali?" lirih Naina and turned to look at Ali who stepped through the fence of her sister Azizah's house and Ali did not see Naina at all, not daring her to pay attention to a woman. Naina, Azizah and Mirza are different villages but still one subdistrict. And Ali rarely goes home if there is no important business and only goes home if he misses his sister and nephew.
Arriving at Husna's house, Naina got off the bike and Husna was sweeping the yard. Husna was surprised to see the arrival of his sisters.
” Assalamu'alaikum mbak”
” Wa'alaikumus salaam”
Naina and Husna embrace, Kabir shakes Husna's hand at a glance.
” Bang Mirza working mbak?” Kabir asks and does not see Mirza's car.
” Yes, let's go in” take Husna and embrace Naina's shoulder.
” You home when is Nai?”
” Last night mbak ride travel”
” Ride travel? why ride travel” Husna was surprised and Naina smiled.
” Kabir buy ice cubes there same snack” ordered Husna and give money for Kabir to go.
” Males” says Kabir but receives money from Husna.
” Can't be so let's go there” exclaimed Naina and finally Kabir left.
” Look at him Nai, nurut same you I'm just as hard to ask for mercy” grumbled Husna and Naina just smile.” Heh, Naina. You mean what was it back home travel, Syamsul where?”
” I've divorced Syamsul mas, being handled in court”
” Crazy you Naina, same father mom must be sad. If it can be defended, refer to it. Your cake business made dapetin Sham again” suggested Husna there is a point if the divorce is not a triple talak.
” Talks are up mbak, already three talak. How else, I can't do anything even though I still love the same Sham" said Naina and then cried. Husna could not bear to see Naina's cry like that, her half-sister was indeed very annoying. But she also still has a conscience, Naina has lost her future baby and is now divorced from her husband. If she was Naina, Husna herself might have gone mad.
” You're patient Nai, brash is a really nice guy. It's okay, there are a lot of men. He's a kayak so he can be just like us, don't cry Nai. You do not go to the city first here just stay, if there is a call from your new court to the city again” said Husna while hugging her sister Naina, Naina nodded and continued to cry.

At Syam's house, Syam looked at Naina's clothes that were still in the closet, neatly arranged because Naina herself tidied her up. Syam holds his chest, his chest tightened withholding longing. Missing Naina, whose fault is it? it was her fault that made Naina leave. Syam even banned her wedding photos and Naina would be kept in a warehouse by Amira.
” You again what is Nai? you don't miss me?” Sham whispered.
” There I am here Syam, and you still think Naina” added Amira who stood at the door to hear her husband's words.
” I want to myself” remove Syam and direct his hand to the door. Amira did not want to and her hands were spoiled on her husband's face, tempting her husband to do something to her tonight.” Amira” Syam pushes Amira's hand to stop but Amira instead kisses her forcibly. Syam did not want to and pushed Amira to a rough fall to the floor.
” Syam!” Amira yelling.
” Out, I told you. I want myself” snapped Sham and Amira got up and she cried and wanted to leave, Amira was silent when she saw the picture frame containing photos of Sham and Naina, she grabbed and....
Prong.... Amira slammed the picture frame to the floor until it broke and made a noise. Syam was shocked and Amira hurriedly went out of the room.
” Amira! come here you” Syam yells and pulls his photo paper with Naina. Amira did not care even though Sham said she kept stepping to the room where Syifa was.

The night was getting late, Ali had not yet arrived at his house. He was still on his way home from the village, Ali turned his head as his phone rang, Ali put on a headset and received the call.
” Assalamu'alaikum”
” Wa'alaikumus salaam. Ali, I'm going to your house but you're not there. Says aunt there you go home.”
” Yes ustadz, I visited my sister Azizah”
” How is it going? I haven't seen Azizah” in a long time
” Alhamdulillah good ustadz, is there anything important ustadz? not usually call me” Ali smile.
” Yes there is a very important thing, Ali Begini, my son Rosa has graduated High School. How about nak Ali ta'aruf with my son Rosa. Nak Ali is also an adult, I only entrust my son to men like son Ali” added the ustadz and laughed crisply, Ali was silent and the look on his face showed no signs he wanted. Rosa did like Ali and only dared to say it after she graduated from school.
” How to Ali?”
” Emm yes, yes ustadz. There's no harm either, I know Deck Rosa she's a good girl. Just, do I deserve ustadz? ustadz also knows what my job is. I just trade and ustadz know it” Ali and keep flushing.
” No problem Ali, all good work during the work is halal.. Thank God then, I will tell Rosa”
” Yes ustadz”
