Still In The Same Sky
Countdown Lecture
5 Years later
Utari has been living in South Korea for 5 years. One dream after another has come true. In Utari's room there is a photo with his beloved Mother when the two are Umrah to the holy land.

"So in aja Bu, the door is not Utari key," Utari said from inside.
"Drink first, son, this is the cake that you make in the cooler Mother cut into pieces," said Mother.
"Yes no papa ma'am, let's make a snack of the house. Sitting down Mom," said Utari still at home looking at her laptop screen.
"This child has been here for five years" Mother said.
Utari just silently listened because she knew the mother had not finished talking.
"You are also no longer young, ripe for a household. Cars already have, homes already have, jobs still you already have even now penetrated into business. When are you going to give my son-in-law's mother?" ask Utari.
Utari let out a long sigh and tidied up her hair that fell on her forehead then looked at the mother with a smile.
"Honey not all men like that, you can be traumatized by the story of Father and Mother. But you also have to know that all humans on this earth behave the same way as your father, son," said Mother.
Utari was still silent, she realized that it was not without reason that the mother said this. This is because there are already 2 men closest to Utari who proposed to Utari for peristri and Utari is not ready and blatantly refused while they have known for a long time and become friends.
Although after the incident they are still good friends because they work in the same place but honestly I am sad, because I am afraid the child has no interest in marriage.
"Mother" said Utari, holding her hand and looking at her mother with a smile.
"Mother do not worry too much about the match, everything has been arranged by Allah SWT. Utari does not want to force themselves if it is not ready Mother, too much sloping news about the householder honestly makes Utari afraid. Utari wants not to be afraid but the result is zero big Mother, after all we are in South Korea. Who cares if 30 is unmarried?" ask Utari gently to the mother.
"Son, I know that where we live now even though we are 30 years old, there will be no one to cheat on the affairs of a soul mate. But getting married is part of Utari worship, getting married is perfecting half of the religion" said Mother looking seriously at the face of her daughter who has been working hard for her for the past 6 years.
"Married mothers are Worship, but we still have to be selective. Precisely because marriage is a worship we must find the real mother. Utari does not want to experience the things experienced by Uncle, Mother, Grandma, Maknin and almost all of our families are broken families. Utari wants to decide to get married once, then death separates," Utari told the mother.
"Well, I'm not going to talk to you about this anymore. I always lose that thing!" said I'm lashing fashion on. Seeing his mother who was bad mood Utari immediately kissed his mother's entire face with affection.
"Oh yes Mother almost forgot, Uncle and Maknin told you to go home. We already know 6 not to go home, all of us on a pilgrimage to the grave of the late Oma," Mother told Utari.
"Yes, do not sleep overnight, remember tomorrow you have to teach and of course we also undergo Ramadan fasting so do not be too self-exciting" said Mother.
"Yes dear Mother," said Utari and Mother passed out of the house.
Get out of her room to the balcony. From a height Utari noticed the city of Seoul at night. What her mother said was not Utari not thinking. But still wet in the memory of Utari when yesterday wanted to deliver a document at the house Ahreum and her best friend had just quarreled with the husband because her husband was caught cheating and the severity of Ahreum in a backslap by her husband and with the corner of his lips torn his best friend in the same campus place he taught it out.
Still wet in the memory Utari Ahreum cried bitterly in her arms. Not to mention Rosaline who is also cheated just because she did not get pregnant and various reasons for money are wrong but justified.
"O Allah, I am afraid" said Utari, and her eyes stared into the darkness of the night.
Aware of the day is getting late and Utari has to go to bed immediately in order to wake up for tahajjud tonight.
The morning of Utari began neatly and the thing that the 30-year-old woman likes, yes, Utari is currently reading the Qur'an. This has become a habit for Utari especially now in the month of Ramadan.
After Utari, the 30-year-old woman came out of the room and looked still quiet. Looks like the mother is still asleep, Utari took the groceries for them to have breakfast. Utari quickly processed it until the mother arrived when all the food was neatly served on the table.
"Why don't you wake up, son?" ask Utari.
"The taste is not ready Mother, so Utari has not woken up. Yes it is Mother, let's eat sahur," said Utari and Mother immediately drank the water prepared by Utari.
When dawn is near, Mother is ready with her face and soul.
"Let's Mom, we go to the mosque," said Utari who also uses the face and attach a container on her arm complete with a cellphone and wallet in her small bag.
Utari and Mama quietly reached the basement and Utari made her car sound using a small remote in her car key. Utari immediately opened the door of his audi car so that immediately his mother climbed in the driver's side seat.
Utari spins fast in the driving seat. Utari drives quietly and enjoys the morning atmosphere in this densely populated city.
"Surely Mother was even afraid to imagine things like this Utari, but now what you imagine and dream one by one becomes reality. I'm happy to see you succeed like this, son," I told Utari.
"Oh yes Utari, you sent to Nia for her tuition fees, right?" ask Utari.
"Udah Dance tf kok kemaren Ibu. Utari knows very well what it feels like to count down to stop feeling uncomfortable and sick. Enough Utari who feels like that, Utari's sisters while they can help Utari, Tari will help" Utari said.
