The Part 34
"Nena.." call Faraz who saw Bi Mina tidying up Maryam's room.
"Why, Den?" asked Bi Mina who saw Faraz looked urinate even he did not go to the office. When asked if he was sick, Faraz just said he was lazy to the office.
"Here, return Maryam's book to her place" Faraz handed Bi Mina a pink diary "Entah like the one in my room" she grumbled.
Bi Mina took the book from Faraz's hand and shot it on Maryam's bookshelf.
"Den Faraz if the pain mending take medicine deh" said Bi Mina.
"Faraz is sick, Bi. It's just another mager" he said then returned to his room.
He threw his body into the bed, pulled the blanket and turned on his AC.
He really has no spirit to do anything since yesterday so today he prefers to rest at home.

While in her office, Maria was confused because Faraz did not enter work, but her boss warned Maria not to come late.
Maria works with Rian. And without looking at Faraz, Maria felt something was lacking and it made her not eager to work.
At lunchtime, she stays seated at her desk while chatting with Hira.
Maria tells Hira her strange feelings for Faraz who feels lost when he does not see Faraz.
^^^Hira^^
^^^"Do you love him, Beb?"^^^
Mary grimaces at Hira's message, of course she doesn't love Faraz, how could she love Faraz?
Me
"Absolutely NO!"
^^^Hira^^
^^^"Are you sure? Do you miss him?^^^
"Kc... Basic" Maria didn't reply to Hira's message. He threw his phone at the table in annoyance.
"But why did Mr Faraz not work?" muttered then he took back the phone and immediately looked for Faraz's contact and sent him a message.
Me
"Sir, why do you work? Mr. Faraz doesn't get sick, does he?"
Maria waited for a while but there was no reply from her boss. Just make Maria upset. Just as she was about to get out of her chair, her phone shook and Maria immediately checked her. It turned out that the boss had already replied to his message.
Pak Sarfaraz^^^^
^^^"Yes, I'm sick"^^
"What pain is it?" maria looked worried. He immediately sent another message.
Me
"What pain, sir? Have you been to the doctor?"
Pak Sarfaraz^^^^
^^^"Where is your job at the office?"^^^
Maria frowned confused by her boss's reply. She asks what her boss answers.
Me
"Sir Faraz is sick?"
Pak Sarfaza^^^^
^^^"Why ask? Worrying?"^^^
"Well, why is this weird?" murmured Maria again "Indeed worry anyway" he continued to himself.
Me
"Yes, you know, Mr. Faraz is my boss. So if it hurts, all of Mr. Faraz's employees must be worried"
One minute...
Two minutes...
Three minutes...
10 Minutes later...
Maria was upset because her message was read but not answered.
But since when did he expect his message to be answered?

While at his home, after reading Mary's message, Faraz could not help but stifle the drowsiness that suddenly attacked him and put him to sleep.
He woke up just before the Ashar prayer. Faraz quickly took ablution and performed Dzuhur prayers before running out of time.
After the prayer, he continued to stand and pray.
Faraz raised his hand, closed his eyes and chanted the prayer with khsuyuk.
"O Allah, make Afsana easy in his education, make the test come. Protect her always, fill her life with your grace. Give happiness to him and..." Faraz opened his eyes and suddenly fell silent.
The afsana? Faraz prayed for Afsana before she even prayed for her parents?
Now Faraz is aware of what makes his urination and not eager to do anything. Because he thought too much about Afsana until the person he first mentioned in his prayer was Afsana. Of course he thought about his sister because until now there has been no news whether Afsana has arrived safely.
"O Allah." murmured Faraz lethargic, whenever Afsana went to his boarding school, Faraz always felt the same. He kept thinking about Afsana and worried about his sister.
Afsana went on a long journey and was alone, of course she was very worried.
Shortly thereafter, the voice of Adhan Ashar was heard. After the Adhan was completed, Faraz performed Ashar prayers.
After that, he took the time to repeat the memorization of his Quran.
In the middle of his focus muraja'ah. His phone rang and there was Uncle Hubab on his phone screen.
"Assalamualaikum, Uncle" said Faraz.
"Greetings waalaikum, Faraz. Just got Afsana on the phone. He's arrived at his boarding school. He asked uncle to tell you, he said you must be worried about him. She called you earlier but wasn't picked up"
Faraz immediately checked his phone and it was true that there was an unanswered phone from the phone number of the Afsana boarding school. Faraz patted his own jidatny, he fell asleep so soundly and his cell phone in silent.
Usually after arriving at the pesantren, Afsana always told her parents that she had arrived safely, and he'll also call Faraz because Faraz asked him to call Faraz and tell Faraz that he's here and he's okay.
"I fell asleep, Uncle. It's true there was a missed call from Afsana. Is she okay?" ask Faraz to worry.
"Yes, but he said maybe after this he'll rarely call because it must be very busy with his exams"
Faraz let out a listless sigh. Though he wanted to talk to Afsana and hear himself from his sister that he was fine.
"Yes, Uncle. No idea what, but if Afsana calls again, please have her call me yes"
"Yes, yeah. Uncle has to get back to work"
"Yes, thank you, Uncle. Assalamualaikum"
After the connection was cut, Faraz again saw the unanswered list on his phone. He regretted not having the time to talk to his sister.

At the prison, Rossa stared at a photo of Maryam and Amar that she had taken from the newspaper and she had it on her cell wall. Since meeting Maryam, he felt much better, he was able to smile again even though his son could not forgive him.
"Rossa..." Rossa turned her head and saw the police officer named Jihan and her friend called her "Someone is visiting you" Jihan said with a smile but Rossa looked confused, who else visited her? Is Amar? It feels very unlikely.
"Who?" rossa asked as she walked out after Jihan opened her cell door.
"Your son-in-law's candidate" said Jihan and Rossa, looking deeply in disbelief.
"Mariam?" ask her. Jihan nodded and took Rossa to see Maryam.
Her daughter-in-law smiled kindly and it really calmed Rossa's heart.
"Assalamualaikum, Auntie" greeted Maryam and was about to kiss Rossa's hand but Rossa quickly withdrew her hand.
"Don't, Maryam" exclaimed Rossa, feeling she didn't deserve such respect. But Maryam just smiled and pulled Rossa's hand back and kissed her hand.
"Aunty how are you?" ask her then while sitting opposite Rossa.
"Good aunt, honey. You alone? And... Amar?" Rossa asked half a whisper as she mentioned her name.
"We're all good, Granny Amy's good too" Rossa could only smile wryly.
"What brought you here, son? Does Amar know you're here?"
"He doesn't know"
"He can scold you if he finds out. He hates Auntie so much"
"He hates Auntie's right, and I came to see Auntie's right to me" Maryam replied with a faint smile "Oh yeah, I brought something for Auntie" Maryam handed Rossa two paper bags.
"What's this?" rossa asked with a happy face, she felt alive again with the arrival of Maryam.
"Food, clothes, soap, shampoo and others" answered Maryam made Rossa a little surprised but then her eyes glazed glass and she was moved, but Maryam did not know him other than as Amar's mother, they had only met once but Maryam had treated him so well.
When she saw Rossa for the first time, Maryam was very concerned about Amar's mother's condition, she seemed unkempt. He had wanted to visit Rossa for a long time, but he could not.
"Thank you very much, Maryam" said Rossa and she could no longer hold back her haru tears "You're so good, no wonder Amar is in love with you"
"Make good is a must, Aunt" replied Maryam "And although Amar hates Auntie, but still Aunt is his mother, I am in touch with anyone who is related to Amar"
"May you always be good, son. My son is very lucky to get a woman as good as you" said Rossa then pulled out the contents of the paper bag, there are some clothes, mucena and also healthy. Again, Rossa's tears trickled down looking at it.
"You brought Aunt Mukena?" Maryam nodded "Thank you, Maryam. Aunty is very rarely pray, Aunty only dissolves in regret until Aunty slumped like this"
"Repent that mistake must be, Auntie. But to be so late in regret is absolutely not to be. If Aunty has ten sins, God has a hundred pardons. Do not despair of His mercy"
Rossa wiped away her tears and she smiled her haru smile. Then he clasped Maryam's hand.
"Son, what a noble heart you are"
"I just do what I've been taught" said Maryam "Oh, I have to go home" continued her, what else is the clock besuknya has run out "Good aunt here, huh? Don't despair and keep praying, may God do wonders for Auntie"
"Thank you, Mary. Be careful on the road, son"

Maryam's journey had to be hampered by a traffic jam, thank God she told her mother that she visited Aunt Rossa in prison. Although it was asked why Maryam visited her when her own son did not, Maryam replied because she sympathized. His mother who knows that Maryam has a soft heart can understand, especially Maryam is a psychology student, of course he will be interested and sympathetic to people who are mentally ill.
"Uncle, stop.." ask Maryam to uncle Arif, his driver.
"What's up, Neng Maryam?" ask uncle Arif.
"Wait a minute." he said then he got out of the car. His attention was drawn to a girl in a white ash-and-grey uniform who looked puzzled and his gaze flashed there the camera
"What's wrong?" maryam asked after being near the girl.
"I want to go home, but I don't know where to find angkot" the girl replied. Maryam chuckles thinking the girl must be a new resident in Jakarta for looking for angkot in the wrong place.
"There may be an angkot who wants to attract passengers here" said Maryam "Indeed you just came home from school?" ask her and the girl shakes her head.
"I've been home since, just that I was looking for a part-time job" he said. Maryam also invited the girl to come with her and will take her home but of course she refused to be invited by strangers.
"I'm not a bad person, my name is Maryam. I'm a student at Parrish University. This is my student card and ID card"
Maryam really showed the two cards to convince the poor girl. And the girl laughed.
"My name is Lily, sister. But why would you want to help me?" ask the girl named Lily.
"As humans we have to help each other, right? I saw you like you were confused" said Maryam.
"Yes, because I'm not used to riding an angkot so you don't know where to find an angkot"
"Well, you better tell me a story while I drive you home"
The girl nodded and Maryam took her into the car.
The girl told me that she was actually the daughter of one of the rich but their family business went bankrupt and her father was in so much debt that he had to sell all the assets they had, including the house and his car.
Mary was grimacing, sad and concerned for the little girl. Even the girl said she used to attend private school but now she has to transfer to public school and also has to find work to help her family.
"I have a restaurant that does employ students or students. You can work there"
"Couldn't you?" peekik Lily was overjoyed and Maryam nodded with a big smile. Then Maryam gave her cell phone number and told Lily to call her if she needed anything.
"You're very kind, Sister Maryam. Thank you very much" Lily said very happily.
"Stop stopping." he shouted later and Arif stopped his car in front of a simple boarding house.
"You live here?" ask Maryam
"Yes, thank you very much, sister" Lily said as she hugged Maryam.
"The same" answered Maryam and Lily came down and Maryam continued on her way home.
Lily knocked on her door and a young man opened the door and she was seen breathing a sigh of relief.
"Oh my God, Liliy. Where have you been? Brother is worried about you" said the man.
"Sorry Brother Erick. Lily was confused looking for angkot where Lily kept looking for work. Fortunately there is Angel's sister who nolongin Lily" Lily said as she walked in.
"Whose Angel's wits?" ask Erick.
"Lilly would know it. Lily also got a job from him" Erick growled angrily at Lily's work.
"Sister said, don't work, Ly. Let brother, Mama and Papa work. You focus on your school"
"Yes can do it, brother. Erick has to go to college too. Lily wants Erick to quit college when she's one step away from graduating"
"But, Ly..."
"Lily knows what if she has to work" Lily replied with a smile, "Yes, Lily wants to take a shower"
And Lily immediately rushed into her very narrow and small room.
While Erick, the man growled furiously. In just one day his family's life was turned upside down. Now they have nothing left while they used to live with treasure.
"It's all because of you, Degazi. I will definitely destroy you as badly as possible"
