Rainbow for Aqila
72 hours

Today precisely the departure of Aqila and all her family, back to her homeland which she had left five years, Aqila dragged her suitcase slowly before boarding the plane on such a long flight, he glanced back, Rochester, this North American city has taught him so much, he will not forget it. Unfortunately today Reynald can not take the delivery because the man has a practice schedule, and should not take a day off because he has made an appointment with the patient

"Why?" Asked Papa Arya holding his daughter's shoulder, Aqila just shook her head slowly and smiled

"It turns out it's not that easy to leave everything behind" he said slowly

"It's not that easy, but we have to remember that our place is not here" replied Papa Arya

That's when the sound of a notification from the airport if the plane that will take them is ready, it's time they leave and do not know exactly when they can return here

"Goodbye Rochester, you taught me so much here, I came here with pain and sadness now I'm going home healthy and happy, Assalamu'alaikum" Aqila let out a long sigh before finally actually climbing the flight stairs

Aqila closed her eyes slowly as the plane began to fly, flying thousands of meters above ground level

What will happen after his return? What will he say when he meets Naufal? And what would he say to that man? All the questions lodged in Aqila's head, she sighed softly and chose to close her eyes, this was a long flight, she said, and during that time he had to think about what would happen next once he landed a leg after five years into his homeland

.

The melodious chant of the holy verse of the Qur'an is heard from the ponpes mosque 'Nurul Iman' which became a mandatory routine of santri in one third of the night, a time when the atmosphere was quiet, quiet, quiet, and quiet, and the time is right for a servant to be worthy of His Lord

"O Allah, you know me better than I know myself, you know my heart without me telling you, you know and have power over everything, O God, after this series of tests of fate, can we be together?"

"I believe in you who rule everything, I believe you will give the best for me, if indeed you outline him to me, convince my heart to continue fighting for him until we can be together as a halal couple"

Naufal rubbed his hands against his face after his prayer and complained to the khalik about his problem, drizzling lightly down the dry grass, the moon covered in gray clouds, and the, the sound of crickets and earthworms becomes a silent evening decorator, as the gentle breeze blows ushered longing, longing for the one far away, for the one whom he has promised, and for whom he has promised, a person who makes it can feel what the word love means, a hurtful love, a love full of twists and turns of destiny, and love in patience

"Uncle Nofal was told to the mosque ponpes the same Abi" the door was opened a little boy with cocoa and a gray sarong, his eyes were clear that he was still sleepy, he was Job Naufal's nephew

"Job, how many times should uncle say Naufal not Nofal" Naufal was very upset with the behavior of his older brother's son who called his name as he pleased

"Yes nofal's uncle was told to the same mosque abi, Job just wanted to convey the mandate of abi, Assalamu'alaikum"

"Wa'alakumussalam" Naufal shook his head, his nephew was indeed unable to pronounce his name correctly

Naufal fixed his pecans and went out to the ponpes mosque not so far from home, lightly drizzling it he let it hit his body, not to make it soaked, not to make it soaked, he actually enjoys this soft drizzle stub on the surface of his skin, the air is quite cold this morning is indeed a severe temptation because the eyes always want to be closed, and the body still misses the warm blanket, and the body still longs for the warm blanket, but it is precisely at a time like this that his glory, a quiet and lonely time, the right time to complain and get closer to the Khalik

"Prophe Naufal, don't hope anymore if you don't want to be disappointed" he murmured, he was told several times that Aqila would come home, but what did he get? Just disappointed by the inappropriate expectations

Although he wished that it was Aqila, he did not want to expect more and too much, because his heart did not want to be disappointed, he would wait patiently, he was sure the wait would soon be over

Orange spray began to be seen on the eastern horizon, the sound of chickens and birds enliven the atmosphere of the morning, the dew of water on the tips of the leaves began to fall as the sun rose

"How did you decide?" Hasan asked Naufal, who was looking towards the eastern horizon, just where the sun was rising

"I will wait" answered Naufal briefly, he held the barrier on the second floor of the aliyah building, staring at the sunrise from here looks more pleasant

"You still waiting patiently?"

"Why not? Many times I pray isikharoh my heart still leaning towards him, not others"

"What about Kyai Uthman's request of you a few days ago? Aren't you going to give him an answer after two weeks? now there's three more days left, what are you gonna tell him?" asked Hasan, his gaze was also straight towards the rising sun until the light hit the towering coconut trees

"There's still seventy-two hours left, and I can confidently tell him that I'll never break my promise to Aqila"

"That promise incriminates me, what will happen if I marry Fadila but my heart is still attached to Aqila? Wouldn't Fadila end up hurting too? I can't change my heart that easily"

"Then how? Kyai Uthman asked you to look after and protect Fadila, and then you'll reject her"

"I will fulfill that request"

"By marrying Fadila?" Hasan asked confused, he did not understand what Naufal said

"Keep and protect her until she finds a good man, I will help her find a man who can look after, protect and guide her"

"Either get faith from where, it's just that my heart has chosen this option, waiting for him and keeping my promise to him"

"I'm sure across the street he's doing the same thing, there's no way his heart can be tied that easily even if he doesn't remember anything about me" Naufal pulled out the silver ring he used five years ago

"Because when he sees the rainbow, that's where he'll remember me" he murmured softly
