New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
Slowly getting better

“Why suddenly you want to go to Turkey again San?”

Gus Hasan, who had been watching his steps, responded to his cousin's question on the way after the congregational prayer.

“Not suddenly actually Mas, after returning from Egypt Hasan had already decided,” replied Gus Hasan again subdued his gaze, paying attention to his steps.

“Mas so go home the day after?”

“God willing, Mas will also want to nganter you first to the airport.”

“Padahal if Mas Faris busy do not bother, there is Umi, Abah, same Mba Sabina also who nganter Hasan. ”

“Ngot able to that, we will rarely meet, especially now you want to go far. Coincidentally the rest of Mas leave will be three days away, Aisha also agreed to go home after nganterin you first to the airport.”

Gus Hasan only smiled bitterly at his cousin's reply.

“Padahan according to Mas you are very qualified to help Pakde in pesantren loh San.”

“Hasan is also still learning Mas, there are still many that Hasan must fix.”

“Ih Mas really this tablets, not cans,” replied Faris who then followed the laughter of both.

Both of them were laughing, but without Faris knowing there was a tightness that Gus Hasan was trying to hold. Gus Hasan is good at hiding his feelings, not much different from the man beside him.

“Loh Pakde thought you did not congregate at the Ris mosque,” asked Kyai Safar to align his steps with his son and nephew.

Gus Hasan and Faris who were in tandem stopped their steps saw Kyai Safar aligning his steps.

“Aishanya is also being obstructed Pakde,” replied Faris gloomily.

“Well the new bride is off first, the patient yo,” replied Kyai Safar teasing his nephew.

“Loh indeed why if Mas Faris to Bah mosque?” asked Gus Hasan innocently.

“Yah little boy Pakde, did not understand him yet,” replied Faris who suddenly invited laughter Kyai Safar. The one who was laughing looked confused.

“Mas you are the new host le, yes it's only natural if ndak to the mosque first as well,” said Kyai Safar.

According to jumhur ulama, a groom is allowed not to pray together for one day, welcome to pray together with his wife at home.

According to Malikiyah, the groom is allowed to not congregate in the mosque for six days.

“Oalah Astaghfirullah .. forgot Hasan Bah,” replied Gus Hasan patted his own eel.

“Makanya quickly bring a ghost also make Abah same Umi, kayak Mas mu iki le.”

“Tadi said Hasan was a child,” said Gus Hasan in a sulking style, again managed to invite laughter Kyai Safar also Faris.

The sound of the door being knocked rang three times.

Bi Surti who was cleaning the kitchen was stuck towards the door, seeing who came at the time of magrib like this.

Look a girl with a look that is always fashionable, with hair that is scattered adds to the impression of elegance is standing in front of the door.

“Eh Bu doctor, Aunty thinks who,” said Bi Surti while opening the door.

Karina simply smiled in response to Azka's housekeeper.

“Who Bi?” yelled Azka while going down the stairs.

“Ah there is a doctor Mr. Ma'am,” replied Bi Surti takdim, then said retreat when he saw Azka stepping towards the two.

Karina was stunned to see Azka who appeared different from the dressing of koko, sarong, and kopyah. Azka always looks good looking wearing anything.

Unknowingly her involvement in Azka's current life has more or less shifted her pain due to Faris and Aisha's marriage.

“Udah pray?” asked Azka who saw Karina still staring at the doorway.

“Hah?” replied Karina. In addition to disperse the daydream, Azka's question was also quite surprising.

Let alone to pray, just stop at his place was never again Karina rutini.

Maybe after he finished his medical program exactly when polishing his father's body that was the last time his prayer.

Realizing that Azka was waiting for his answer, he only shook his head weakly.

“Udah wudhu?” ask Azka again.

Again Karina just shook her head weakly, then followed Azka's steps which stopped in front of the bathroom, leaving Karina to immediately take her water.

“Here Bu doctor,” said Bi Surti who was waiting for him in front of the bathroom.

Karina just resigned to follow Bi Surti's steps which stopped in front of a room more similar to a musala, there was Azka who was solemn in his prayer.

“Assalamualaikum warohmatullah ..” lirih Azka ended her greeting.

Azka turned her head as her tail caught the silhouette of someone behind her. Surely there is already Karina who sits and remains charming wearing her white face even without the pulasan make up because of her wudhunya.

“Ehem.” Deheman Karina just broke the Azka reverie.

“You're the priest?” karina.

“Isn't it better to congregate?”

Karina just nodded and then followed the movement of Azka who had already read the takbir.

The dining room was familiar to Aisha, but this was her first time joining the ndalem family at one table.

Various dishes have been arranged neatly on the table.

Again her net turned towards the door, making sure her husband who had not yet seen also the trunk of her nose.

“Ayo nduk tried, do not be dumb,” said Nyai Hamidah make Aisha smile clumsy.

“Mas Faris again chatted first with the manager of the son earlier, maybe soon to come,” said Gus Hasan as if to understand the look created on Aisha's face.

Again Aisha just nodded and smiled clumsyly in response. His face reddened, as if it had been caught by Gus Hasan that he was waiting for Faris' arrival.

A khadamah gave his greetings, carrying a tray that was already full of fresh fruits.

“Thanks Bi.”

The Khadamah smiled, nodded, then returned with a bow of his unedged body.

Aisha smiled at the scene in front of her, without being asked, all of them were already serving, but still full of tattoos.

No matter what their status is, the ndalem family still considers them human, respecting each other. It seems trivial, but it must mean a lot. `

Faris comes with greetings and do not forget his smile that is always imprinted adds to his good looks.

He folded his shirt arms after first kissing the hand of Pakde and Bukdenya, then joined beside his beloved wife who also immediately kissed the back of his hand.

Gus Hasan suddenly turned his gaze to look at the scene in front of him, holding back the tightness that continued to bother him.

Seeing Nyai Hamidah who has served Kyai Safar, with cangug now Aisha's turn to serve Faris by filling some rice coils into Faris dishes.

“Kalo as much as this portion is enough for both, do you want a plate of both?” it was Goda Faris who made all of them raise their faces, including Kyai Safar and Nyai Hamidah who were already holding back their laughter.

It felt like Aisha wanted to pinch Faris because she had embarrassed him on the first day he was at his in-laws' house.

Aisha simply smiled clumsyly with a face that had been flushed, then split the rice on her husband's plate with her plate.

“It's a pity that this one nobody is serving,” said Ning sabina took the plate Gus Hasan who looked empty, suddenly it invited laughter throughout the room.

“You're bribed all ndak?” tease Ning Sabina again.

“Mba ...,” whine Gus Hasan took back his plate from his Ning hand.

“Liat Bah son of Abah,” seduce Ning Sabina again.

The family is quite flexible to the rules according to Aisha, so the atmosphere in the dining room is not only as lonely as the sound of a spoon clanking with dishes only.
