The charm of Ayra Khairunnisa
99 Ayra and Bram In Kali Bening
Bram and Ayra had departed to clear times while Mr. Erlangga and Mrs Lukis had left for Indira's grandmother's residence. Because if the residence of Indira's grandmother takes 3 hours drive and away from the airport. Bram who intends to start his household properly and well, intends to apologize to Kyai Rohim before he leaves for Bali.
Guilt arose in Bram's heart as his former heart was tucked away in annoyance at the man-in-law. How long the car that Bram's trust driver drove in his company had arrived at a boarding house.
Bram opens the door for Ayra and opens the trunk. A gift that Ayra deliberately bought while on the way to the house of her parents. The atmosphere seemed quiet perhaps because it was still school time. So the cottage is quite deserted.
When they entered the cottage grounds there was a small house near the entrance of the cottage. A man holding a small child in a sling quickly approached Ayra and Bram.
"Assalamualaik."
"Moskalamic. Hannah."
"Goup."
Ayra determined the gentle pinch on her nephew's cheek. What made Furqon agape was when Bram also said his greetings and extended his hand. Furqon reflexively gives his hand. It is more surprising that Bram did what Ayra did earlier.
Bram kissed the back of Furqon's hand.
"It's fallen apparently this guy on my sister. Alhamdulilah calamity makes you accept every fate that is in your life Bram."
"Where's sister?"
"Again escort santriwati to the puskemas. Someone's been sick this morning Ra."
"There's a kang?"
"Umi and Abi are there. You staying over Ra?"
Furqon looked at the small cover in Bram's hand.
"No kang. Another time maybe. Where's hanan?"
"Your niece is still in school. Come by the house later."
"Yes kang. Ayra and Bram go inside first."
Furqon. He glanced at Bram who was no longer surly but still a little cold despite the slight smile he gave Furqon.
Ayra walked in her husband's hand because she saw the cottage was deserted because it was still time for school children. Arrive in a building that is not too big. But it looks clean and there is a whiteboard on the porch of the house that is quite large. The place to teach the students if Umi Laila who gives the material.
"Assalamualaik."
"Getishalam."
The voices of Umi Laila and Kyai Rohim were together from inside the room. The mother quickly came out when she heard a familiar voice.
"Ayra... "
"Ayra quickly kissed the hand of the mother who had raised him with affection, and never distinguished him and his other brother even though he was not the biological child of Umi Laila. Even Ayra gained more affection from Umi Laila when she was under 15 years old. Because at that time Ayra was still in the category of Orphans.
So Umi Laila who to every student who was orphaned when he was 15 years old and above will be very chatty if the child does not want to learn to survive. Umi Laila will equip orphaned santri with courses, so that later they can survive. Compared upside down when the orphan was under 15 years old.
Umi Laila was very careful. Because the advice to love orphans is exemplified by the Prophet for his people to always support and love orphans.
Umi Laila who got the same expression when the daughter-in-law kissed the back of her hand.
"I'm sorry, Bram, his hands are wet. Umi still does the dishes. Let's get Ra in."
Ayra is looking for a father figure who has nurtured her since childhood. Umi Laila who saw the youngest child was looking for a man who was not in the room quickly said the existence of Kyai Rohim.
"Abi in the kitchen. Help umi again. Mumpung mbak-mbak santri does not exist. He said he wanted to eat sambal kencur Ra. Let's have Ra's lunch, Bram."
Ayra and Bram follow Umi Laila. Kyai Rohim quickly washed his hands watching the child and his daughter-in-law come to visit. Ayra looked at Kyai Rohim with a single look that Kyai Rohim was correct with the twinkle of the child's eyes. There's something Ayra wants to say.
"Then first. Abi's hungry, let's get your husband to eat. Today Abi is cooking. But that's Nak Bram just tempeh and fried tofu. You didn't say you were coming here, Ra."
"Ayra did not want to trouble Umi. This was Ayra buying her favorite fruit Abi and Umi."
Ayra put the fruits she bought earlier on the table next to the refrigerator. Bram follows Ayra and her two in-laws sit on a carpet with a round table. Kyai Rohim used to see the change in attitude of the son-in-law who was no longer surly and no longer pitched.
"Fry the chicken first Ra."
"No need Umi, this is enough. Ayra misses Abi's cooking."
"Umi didn't think of you. But your husband."
"No need to bother Mom. This is enough."
"Umi's. Call Umi Nak Bram."
Ayra whispered a little towards the husband. He only saw a simple menu on the table.
"real mas? Let Ayra fry the chicken."
"No need to Ay. What would you eat the same thing."
Instantly the hue of Ayra's face flushed red. Umi Laila and Kyai Rohim are happy because her husband has accepted Ayra and seems to love their daughter.
Kyai Rohim put rice on the plates of Bram and Ayra. Bram enjoyed the simple menu with a little bit of spiciness because Kyai Rohim's favorite sauce was too spicy for Bram. Finished with lunch, Kyai Rohim invites his son and daughter-in-law to enjoy the view behind the house which has a terrace overlooking the fish pond.
While sitting on the terrace they chatted while Bram was still silent. Kyai Rohim also invited Bram to tell him first.
"How's your case going, son?"
"Ehm. Next week Mr. Kyai's first trial."
"Hehehe.... Call me Abi. You're Ayra's husband weird if you call me with kyai."
"Good Abi."
"You must be patient for the misfortune that befalls you and make Bram a lesson. And guide your wife if she's wrong."
"I'm the one that Abi should be leading."
Kyai Rohim laughed a little when Bram called him Abi.
"You guys staying over?"
"No Bi. We're going to Bali later tonight."
"To Bali?"
"Yes Umi holidays. Ayra is also in college next week."
Umi Laila smiled as she saw Ayra blush in embarrassment when her husband said they were going to Bali. Soon Furqon and his wife appeared. Ayra quickly salutes Siti and retrieves Hana from Siti's sling.
Almost half an hour they chatted until they had to end the chat because time almost showed the time of Dzuhur. Kyai Rohim invites Bram and Ayra to join the congregational prayer in the mosque. The couple also agreed.
Funny thing happened in the room that Ayra had. Bram who is embarrassed if you have to wear pants to the mosque in the cottage environment was confused to wear a sarong. Ayra smiled and quickly approached.
"Here Ayra help me. Just wear the belt if you're not used to it."
Bram only resigned when Ayra put the sheath on her body. Finally Ayra tied the belt on her husband's waist so that the sarong does not sag. Ayra's eyes photographed her husband's handsome face.
But when I leave that room. Both Bram netra photographed a picture frame of a fat girl hanging not far from Ayra's bedroom door.
Ayra who was ready with her face quickly called Bram.
"Mas, Come. Ayra is ready."
"Yes Ay."
"What is Ayra? Why I don't seem familiar with the face in the photo."
Bram was just a monologue in his heart.
