One-Third-Night Matchmaker "ALIA"
EPISODE 14 The Will of Mother

In her room, Alia was looking at a photo. He was with his mother and there was a woman with a boy there. The four of them were photographed together in a park.

''Mother, Alia is the same, mother. Mother, Alia has not found her mother's best friend and also her child. Especially after leaving, mother, father invites us to move house. What should Alia say is that Alia met her best friend, Aunt Maya. How is it possible, Mother and Aunt Maya agreed to match Alia with Aunt Maya's son. We only met once. This photo is our first meeting. Are you sure if your aunt Maya's son grows up to be a sholeh man for Alia? this meeting took place ten years ago. Alia is still a child and Alia's memory is not yet strong. Then, does Aunt Maya's son know, if he's going to be betrothed to Alia? if you know, does he want to? we have never met at all." Alia muttered while feeling the photo she was holding.

''Son, what are you doing?" asked Mr. Samir who suddenly went into Alia's room.

''Oh, I'm so surprised."

''After the door opened a little and I saw you talking to yourself. What's the matter?'' asked Samir gently. Alia gave the photo to her father.

''Dad knows this?" ask Alia.

''This is my mother's best friend. Her name is Aunt Maya and this is her son. They both agreed that when the children grow up, they will match you. Because Aunt Maya is very dear to you. And aunt Maya believes once that later you will grow into a beautiful girl and sholeha. But baby, your mother is leaving too soon. Even my own father doesn't know from Aunt Maya. The mobile phone number cannot be contacted. Even when your Mother died, Aunt Maya was also absent. I don't know what's really going on." The story of Mr. Samir to Alia.

''Dad, if Aunt Maya and her son had come all of a sudden to continue this matchmaking, would you have agreed and approved of Alia?" alia asked hesitantly.

''Daddy will carry out your Mother's will, son. Although this seems old-fashioned but this is the will of Mother who really must be run. I'm sure, Mother is not careless to agree to this matchmaking. Although Dad himself has never met his aunt Maya."

''Then should we look for him, Dad? or how long does Alia have to wait?''

''We don't have to look for him, son. And you don't have to wait. Ask Allah, bow down in the third of your night, son. God will guide you. All of these past answers will sooner or later be answered."

''What if the boy is poor?"

''What is the meaning of a treasure, son. Treasure can be found. Better to be poor than to be poor of conscience."

''But how about the opposite, Dad. If the boy is really rich but there is no morality, do not understand religion even bad boy that, well?"

''Your question is very detailed. If it is like that, it is your job to guide him. Your job is to make him more religious, to fix his character and invite him to become a good boy. As long as he doesn't have a black record at the police station, Dad's fine. No human is perfect. Even evil can turn into good. And vice versa, sometimes good can turn into evil. That's already the formula of life, son.''

''Please, well, what if the boys are gone? or it turns out that his parents forgot the match and even married his son, what was the fate of Alia? Alia's gonna be a spinster."

''Hussss don't talk like that. That's why I told you to prostrate for a third of the night. Ask God for guidance. I'm sure you'll find the answer, son. Now you rest." Said Mr. Samir while gently rubbing Alia's head.

''Yes, Father. Thank you, Dad. I'm also resting."

''Yes, son."

...****************...

''Why did Mama just leave El alone." Crying Elvan in her room while hugging a picture of her mother.

''Only Mom understands, El. The woman has taken Papa from El. And also the boy of that woman, snatch it all from, El. El, need Mama." Since the departure of his mother due to an accident, Elvan's life really felt lonely. Especially since Elvan found out, her father brought another woman to shift positions, Mama. Elvan wiped his tears, then went towards the club as his impingement. As he came down from his room, Endrew came along.

''Where are you going El?" ask Endrew.

''It's not elo's business" replied Elvan ketus.

''Until when do you think you're gonna keep going, El?" shout Endrew. But Elvan did not care about Endrew's voice and just passed by. Endrew let out a long sigh and felt frustrated with his sister's attitude.

''El, until when are you like this? when do you keep hating me? and how long are you going to think of me as a sister?" endrew muttered. Endrew finally decides to follow Elvan away. As Endrew thought, Elvan went to a nightclub. Endrew sat in the distance to monitor Elvan. Elvan drank as he pleased and danced with the girls. Elvan laughed but in fact, Elvan's heart was so lonely.

#FLASHBACK 11 Years ago

Elvan was eight years old and Endrew was thirteen.

That night in her room, Maya was on the phone with her husband.

''Mas, you really can't go home? tomorrow is Elvan's class. He'd love you to come."

''I want to go home too, baby. But Endrew is sick and he needs me.'' Replied Mr. Tama across the street who was accompanying Endrew lying sick on the bed. In a simple house. In contrast to the lives of Bu Maya and Elvan.

''Mom, you've been there for a week. And it's only been a day since you've been here, but now you're back there."

''You know what else, Endrew is sick. I could not leave Elisha alone. You know, Elisha was an orphan and had no one. Tomorrow you'll be with me, Elvan. I promise, once Endrew gets well, I'll go home and make up for the day I spent with you. I beg your understanding."

''Alright, Mas then. Greetings to Elisha and may Endrew heal quickly."

''Yes, thank you. I love you." Said Mr. Tama. Maya chooses to disconnect her phone instead of having to return her husband's love. Every time she heard the words of love from her husband, not the happiness she felt but the pain that was very felt.
