EPS. 54 Your hand...

After telling her father, Alia immediately entered. And Alia found Andra walking towards the kitchen.

''No look! the porridge was gone, Andra said as she showed an empty bowl in her hand.

''Thankful. It must be delicious your homemade porridge, said Alia.

''Yes dong. Elvan's sister said that too. And now Brother Elvan is sleeping.''

''Huh? sleep on? that fast.''

''So I waited for Brother Elvan to eat. Eating it really well. I wait until he sleeps. And Brother Elvan told me that I must be a successful person in order to divide my brother and father. And Brother Elvan also told me, to be a responsible adult man with the family. He told me until he finally fell asleep.'' Andra's story with enthusiasm.

''Hhhh, sox-nasihatin Andra. Though he who needs a lot of advice, Alia murmured inwardly with a faint smile.

''Yes, you have rested. You're sleeping with Dad tonight?''

''It's okay, brother.''

''Yes, my sister also wants to rest.'' Alia immediately headed for her room. He began to open up the subject matter for tomorrow on campus. Eventually, Alia fell asleep in the chair. In the dream, Alia was dreaming. He was sitting on the edge of a lake with a very beautiful view.

''Alia!" call someone in a very soft voice.

''Mother,'' said Alia. Alia got up from her seat and hugged her mother.

''Mother, Alia misses.'' Alia said with a cry that could not be contained. Alia was crying while hugging her mother tightly.

''Mommy misses too, baby. You don't cry yeah.''

''Mommy can't go with Alia? we all need a mother. Why did you leave us so soon?''

''Forgive my dear mother. Forgive the mother who had to leave you. Be a strong child. Be a strong woman, dear.'' said Bu Nita as she let go of her embrace to Alia. Bu Nita then wiped Alia's tears gently. Then Bu Nita disappeared from in front of Alia.

''Mommy! Mother!'' alia shouted with her tears flowing back down her cheeks. Alia woke up from her sleep.

''Mother, thank you for visiting Alia in a dream. O Allah, I fell asleep here, muttered Alia while wiping away her tears. Alia then looked at her phone and it turned out to be one in the morning. Alia immediately came out of her room to perform tahajud prayers. But as she passed through Andra's room, Alia heard a whimpering sound from inside. Alia opened the door slowly. He looked at Elvan as if he were dreaming, his body trembling and cold sweat soaked his body.

''Mama,'' Elvan groaned. Alia then approached and sat down on the edge of the bed.

''Mama, sorry Elvan. Sorry Elvan who can not take care of Mama, said Elvan who was delirious. There were tears dripping from the corner of Elvan's eyes. I don't know why Alia's heart was sad too. Alia seemed to be able to feel how heavy the burden of the heart that Elvan had been damning all this time.

''Elvan, you shouldn't hurt your body like that. You are very sorry, always trying to be strong in front of everyone, muttered Alia. Elvan's body was trembling. Alia then ventured to pat Elvan's back. Alia patted him gently and slowly Elvan's body regained its composure. Alia was very surprised as Elvan suddenly clasped her hands very tightly. It's like Elvan won't lose. Elvan kept calling her mother. Alia finally let Elvan hold her hand.

''O Allah, what shall I do?'' muttered Alia who was trying to pull her hand. But Elvan's hand grip was really very strong. Alia took the tissue in front of her and wiped away the sweat that was soaking Elvan's face. Apparently Alia's hand grip, able to make Elvan's trembling body become calm again. Alia picked up the small towel she used to compress Elvan's forehead. Because Elvan's fever is down. It turned out that behind the door that was slightly open, Mr. Samir saw it all. As a father, Mr. Samir felt how much Elvan suffered.

''What a pity that boy. And it seemed like the child really needed Alia by his side. O Allah whatever it is, give the best for my daughter, '' muttered Mr. Samir in heart.

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

The dawn adhan also reverberated. Mr. Samir with Andra, prepare for congregational prayer. Shortly after, Alia followed. Ali had to wait two hours, until he could remove his hand from Elvan's hand. They prayed together with Andra as priest. They prayed together inside the house with a small mushola, which was enough for the three of them to use to pray together. Elvan is waking up. His eyes looked around. He then tried to get out of his bed. Elvan saw a picture of Andra in the room.

''I passed out last night, he murmured again. He stood up and walked out of the room.

''Kok deserted? are they still sleeping? god, it's still four o'clock.'' Elvan said in his heart. Elvan then walked down Alia's house which was very simple. Elvan then saw Alia with her sister and father praying together. Elvan watched from a distance. Elvan was envious of what Alia had. He has a family that loves him very much. Elvan watched and waited for them to pray until it was over.

''Astaghfirullah,'' cried Alia who was surprised by the figure of Elvan.

''Are you awake?''

''What do you see? I'm looking at the devil.''

''Yes, you are standing there. Who tried not to be surprised, Alia grumbled.

''Brother Elvan? hows it? healthy already?'' ask Mr. Samir.

''Here, Om. Thank you for taking care of me. I want to go home.''

''Oh wait here first. After this Alia cook for sarapa morning. We have breakfast.''

''Ah no need. I've been a lot of trouble. I'll just go home.''

''But you are sure? I am very worried, said Mr. Samir.

''No mending wait here first. My sister is healthy.''

''Yes, El. You are here first, said Alia.

''All right if you force.'' Said Elvan who agreed because Alia told him to stay for a while.

''Yes, if that's how Alia cook first, Dad.''

''Yes, son.''

''Andra can I ask for help?'' said Elvan.

''What do you ask, brother?''

''Tas Alia was still left in the car. I want to come out bad if there are neighbors who see.''

''Ok, Brother. I'll get you.''

''Brother Elvan, you better rest again. I'm going to the back, clean the chicken coop.''

''Yes Om, thank you, '' said Elvan. Samir immediately headed for the backyard. And Elvan went back to Andra's room.

''It's a pity that Alia lives in a house like this. But they were very happy even living in a house this simple, Elvan murmured inwardly.
