Rainbow for Aqila
Around the Story

Amidst the intense night, the sound of lightning boomed loudly, its flashes illuminated the dark earth and formed a pattern of lines in the sky

A girl sat by the window of her room, shedding tears on her cheeks as a form of heart expression, contemplating and remembering what was going on

Chequelek

The door opened, Mama Intan went inside and put a glass of warm milk in front of her daughter

"Why not sleep?" Mama Intan sat down pulling one chair and sat next to Aqila, stroking her daughter's hair, but was surprised to see so much hair falling out in her hands

"Aqila, what are you thinking?"

"Aqila seems to be not happy Ma" he said looking down to hide his tears when it was known to his mother

"Why are you talking? Everyone pantes to be happy"

"Aqila, the righteous child, believes with God that this test will soon go away, Aqila wants to be healed right?" Aqila simply nodded in response

"Although the cancer is not completely cured if we undergo treatment and hear the words of the doctor, the disease can be controlled"

"Aqila ngerepotin huh?" Wiry

"There is no child that does not trouble the parents, and for the parents it is their duty to be troubled because they made it born in the world so they must be responsible for anything that has to do with their child"

"Aqila did not feel very bad for Naufal Ma, even though his plan was to be betrothed to Fadila, Fadila was more understanding about religion than Aqila" he said down

"You want to hear the story mama?" Mama Intan gently stroked her daughter's back, making Aqila manage to shift her gaze which was originally lowered towards her mother

"What story?"

"First mama also felt Aqila kayak married to Papa" said Mama Intan opened a conversation between them, and, their closeness like this had been so long that Mama Intan had forgotten that one of her daughters had grown into such a great and powerful girl

"Mama's just a simple girl who lives in a village, starts in town when Mama graduates High School and gets a scholarship on the same campus as papa"

"Mama is like an ant if you want to be the same father of all things, she's a rich man, a famous family child, while mama is just a simple girl who has high dreams"

"Mama's work on the campus was just learning, not thinking about anything else, not thinking about love or shopping like most other friends, he said, after college mama works at a restaurant to increase income because there are many books to buy, many papers and tasks to be printed, and of course it all takes money"

"While, your father is a rich man's son, he doesn't have to think about tomorrow?the money is still enough to eat, he's a rich man's son who lives by swiping a card at an ATM" Mama Intan chuckled remembering that while Aqila smiled

"Until one day I don't know what was on your father's mind at that time, he came to the restaurant where mama worked and immediately expressed his feelings there"

"Suddenly?" Aqila's question could not hide her shock

"She said she always looked out for mama from afar because she had howled once when she was injured from falling off the bike"

"Love at first sight?" Guess Aqila

"Yes that's the term"

"At first mama did not nerima, coincidentally when mama had graduated, thesis was completed, the trial was finished waiting for graduation"

"Mama wants after graduating to look for work instead of marriage, the thought of mama used to marry it if mom's parents were already happy"

"Mama was also aware of the position of mama where at that time, mama and papa were like diamonds and pebbles, the difference was far, he was a rich man's son and mama was just an ordinary farmer's son"

"But your father convinced you that he could be the man responsible to your mother and mother's family"

"At first my mom was hesitant about her, but after seeing her efforts when she needed help, she was always by my mom's side, therefore after graduating from college he went to mama's village to convey his intention to propose to mama?"

"They are good men, regardless of caste, from which the woman is a good woman"

"Mama's parents at that time were certainly surprised to know that his daughter was proposed to a rich man's child, but they did not immediately accept it, they just thought that mama would live this life was mama"

"Mama was really confused at that time, we met the two just once and only know remotely because mama and papa are different faculties, he is in the faculty of business management while mama is in design"

"But mama assured me that she was the soul mate God had sent for mama"

"And until now thank God we are still living happily together"

"But unfortunately, my parents in the village died a month after Kak Devan was born, because there was no one there especially mom and mom's parents were also only children, because they had no one there, my mom never went back there"

"Aqila knows what you mean by a story like this?" Mama Diamond clasped her daughter's hands gently

"This is not to make such a difference affect the heart of Aqila, if you are sure he is the best mate of God, then sure do not waver again"

"The task of the couple complement each other, if there are those who do not know about religion can ask Naufal, complement each other, make the shortcomings to glue the relationship is not more stretched"

"Aqila knows, thank you ma"

"Aqila must also have the spirit to heal, baby, never even a single thought to leave" Mama Intan stared at the ceiling of the room, avoiding her tears that almost spilled, while Aqila nodded in response

"It feels like it's been a long time not talking to you like this, the last time was in second grade Junior High" Aqila recalled that time where her rank dropped and cried, shutting herself in the room all day, that was when Mama Intan calmed herself down

"Sorry mommy, baby"

"Aqila strong woman has fought to this extent alone, now Aqila is fighting once again huh?, but now not alone anymore, because all there is for Aqila" Aqila nodded with smiling eyes that started to water

tok tok tok tok

"Can you come in?" Devano stood on the doorstep carrying a black plastic in his right hand

"Sir" Aqila immediately wiped her tears

"Sister Devan wants to silence someone's trust for Aqila" Devano was about to stroke his sister's head, but his hand was immediately captured by Mama Intan who stood behind him and signaled to shake his head

Devano was confused, but when his mother showed Aqila's hair that had fallen out in his hand he nodded with a sad changed view looking at his sister

"Who is that from?" Aqila's forehead frowned as Devano fell silent, and cleared his throat like an awkward person

"Daughter's sister?" guess Aqila made Devano flinch and shake

"Not"

"Then the wife-to-be"

Trings

A notification of incoming messages on the phone held by Devano made Aqila frown because it was no stranger to the screen wallpaper of her brother's key

"Who? Brother Diva?!" it's just like not believing
