The End of Hope
4 EPS. Ajummas! Sweet Call

At night Naya was restless in bed, her eyes were not closed, even though she tried to make herself sleep. Naya tries to contact her husband, asking when he will be home. After a while the phone was not picked up.

"Hello, Kanda." said Naya after a while later finally heard the voice of her husband welcoming his phone call.

"What's wrong? I told you I'd be home tonight. Just go to sleep first. Don't wait for me." Rudian said from behind the phone.

"Yes, but what time is it, Kanda? Almost one o'clock at night!" naya was upset.

" Do you want to sleep there?"

"Yes, let's just say I'm staying over. So you don't have to bother." and then you sound, tut. The phone call was closed unilaterally.

Naya stared at the darkened phone screen. A strange and uneasy feeling haunted him. What's the matter? He himself did not understand, there was an uneasy feeling that suddenly disturbed him.

Naya leaves her bed, takes the aif wudhu and performs the evening prayer. Appeal for strength and tranquility. To give the whole body only to its creator.

Until he finally fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, Naya wakes up after hearing a loud alarm from her phone, which is a sign that dawn is near. Naya took the water back in her bathroom.

After he finished, he returned to his room feeling lonely. Rudian really doesn't come home tonight. Why did this relationship become like this? thought. What is wrong with him, really because not having children makes a husband may ignore his wife?

Her marriage used to be very simple, Naya loved Rudian as he was, so did Naya. They met when they were both factory employees in one of the private companies.

After finding a match, and also feeling that they have known each other for a long time, they finally married. Although their wedding party was held simply, but the marriage was very happy for both families who approve of their relationship.

They were from the same tribe, within that metropolis. This may be a coincidence, because in this city there are many diverse tribes, moreover they are both nomads. Meeting and loving each other in the same tribe greatly complements happiness.

Naya finished her prayers, then prepared to make breakfast as usual before leaving for work. She first called Rudian back to remember that her husband was not late for morning prayers.

"Hello, Kanda" said Naya after a long call was picked up.

"What else? want to get to work? I can't" Rudian replied from across the phone.

"Not that. Just want to remind the dawn prayers. Where's kanda sleeping?"

"Sleep at mom's..." Answer Rudian

"Why sleep there?"

"Nearlier than my friend's house."

"Yes Allah kanda, shy dong same mother, home night-night. Poor thing, I must be distracted."

"No. My mother was waiting for me. I also prayed. You will go alone" tut.

Again the phone was closed unilaterally by Rudian.

Naya, "......"

'What does it mean to wait for kanda? Have they made a deal at home. But why not bring me along. Or is it just an excuse?'

Many questions battered Naya's brain. He was not ready to make breakfast. Now he just sits on his little couch and plays his cell phone in his hand. Trying to shake off bad thoughts about her husband.

Should she investigate her husband? But he again convinced himself, that whatever happens in his household in the future, is what must happen. Allah will not allow anything to happen to His servants if there is no permission from Him. Is not a leaf fallen upon His knowledge? Especially if it is a test and a trial on man, surely Allah knows it. He believes that God tests only the abilities of the people He tests.

He left early today. He had to wait for public transport to arrive at the restaurant.

"Bismillah." whispered softly as he boarded the public transport that would take him to work.

Naya worked at the restaurant just two years ago, when her mother-in-law said she had to take a lot of rest to get pregnant.

At that time, in order to fulfill the wishes of his mother-in-law and also he did want to have children, Nayapun stopped working from his company.

But because he and his husband still have to pay the installment of the house, he chose to work in the restaurant bu Nha, on the recommendation of Bastian, his brother-in-law, Rudian's only brother.

Her mother-in-law also agreed, because working there she was not too tired, and could rest more, on the sidelines of her free time.

Working at the restaurant, Naya earns a small salary, not the same as when she works at the factory. But at least, with a little income, Naya can help ease the burden of Rudian, as a household person in charge. Naya's salary money, used to eat and pay for electricity. Being income Rudian to pay Home installments.

They did not have children yet, but the cost of spending to sustain both of them in such a Metropolitan city was quite large as well.

Naya arrived at the restaurant earlier than usual, Ms. Nha and her husband were still busy preparing food ingredients that would be cooked by the chef later. Naya helps with everything she can do. This is what makes Naya very loved by Ms. Nha, as a restaurant owner. Besides being diligent, Naya is the daughter-in-law of the Sarita family. Ms. Nha has been friends with Sarita for a long time.

After some of the dishes for the breakfast menu were ready, Naya began to prepare some tables and began to clean them, fold the tissue and tidy up all the trinkets. Friends of the profession have also prepared.

Before long, some customers started to arrive, of course those who had not had breakfast from home and had to go to work on time.

"Ajumma!" there was a loud but loud voice behind Naya.

The woman in the red headscarf who was wearing an apron typical of the restaurant uniform turned her head. He smiled broadly as he found out who had come while yelling at him by calling him ajumma. A little girl with the sweet smiling cheeks of a kingpin approached Naya.

"Yoni?!" Sahut Naya's. He immediately approached and hugged the little girl who was carrying a small bag on her back.

Ahk, that cute face, already kind of encapsulates the whole world and makes it a wakah with a sweet look, Yoni!

When the anxiety that still looms over Naya's heart, it seems to just disappear. Was it that innocent face that had eliminated him? A sinless face that was like painting a longing in his heart.

"Hey, want some breakfast, okay?" Naya said while pulling Yoni's small body in her lap. Yoni nodded.

"Where, brother?" ask Naya again

"School highway" Ares replied without looking at Naya.

Naya was the same, she did not pay attention to Ares. It was as if Ares didn't exist, as if the air had evaporated.

"Oh yes, yes. It's still morning. Of course your sister's at school. Yoni hasn't gone to school?" naya and Yoni asked.

"Come on Yoni, here. Eat first" Ares said as he pulled a chair and placed a plate filled with food on the table. Waving at Yoni to get to him.

Naya lowers Yoni, the boy immediately approaches Ares.

"Ajummas! Cini!" Yoni said as he waved at Naya.

'Ajumma, it's korean. Who taught the boy? What a sweet call' Naya.

Naya looked at the little boy sitting sweetly beside her papa with mixed feelings. It's like someone who's in love.
