Longing

...The longing of the Son for his parents will never go away, before they meet....

.........

After Reval's departure, Kayla immediately approached Syafira and advised Syafira to call her brother at that moment, so that Hafidz could pick her up. And now, this is where Syafira, in the room, pensively resting on her bed. Syafira's been like this ever since Reval left her.

Not long after, the shadows of the incident on that night came back to haunt him, making the girl suddenly just scream. "Ummy, Abi!!!!" the hysterical screams were accompanied by crying.

Hafidz who just wanted to return to his office immediately became urgently, when he heard the cry of the Little Sister who echoed in this house. With a feeling of worry, Hafidz ran up the stairs, towards Syafira's room.

"Dec, what's wrong with you?" asked Hafidz who immediately approached the Little Sister, when he arrived at her room Syafira.

"Hikss ... Brother ... hiksss .. ummy and abi .. hikss ... hikss ..." she cried in Hafidz's arms.

"Why are you, Dek?" ask Hafidz so gently.

"Where are ummy and abi, Bang?" Hearing the Sister's question, immediately the feeling of fear of that time came back to haunt Hafidz. Hafidz loosened his arms, and Syafira stretched out her arms between them.

"When are they coming back, Bang?" ask Syafira. Hearing Syafira's question and tone like this, immediately made Hafidz almost shed his tears, if only he could not help his fear.

"Istighfar Dek, Adek don't get rich anymore. You can't see the rich Adek. Adek must be able to accept that reality, because it is God's destiny for us and this is the best for both of us. God only wants us to be sterile, not like we used to depend on ummy and abi. And remember Dek, Adek still has a Brother and a Brother who will always guard and protect Adek." explained Hafidz, while staring at the Brother who looks so heartbreaking.

"Ara .. hiksss ... Ara just miss ummy and abi .. hiksss ..." so on. Hafidz pulled the Little Sister back into his arms.

"Grandpa should be able to mengikhlasin their departure, pity ummy and abi. They must be sad when they see Adek who is rich in gini. Adek must believe in God, if everything will be fine." explained Hafidz, rubbing the back of the Brother gently.

"Hikss ... Ara will learn Bang, hikss ..." her words are accompanied by a little sob in the arms of the Big Brother.

Ting ... keg .. ting .. tong .. ting .. tong ...

Their bell rang, a sign that someone was outside their home at this time. Hafidz and Syafira were forced to give up their arms.

"Who Bang? Hikss ..." - Shafira who was still slightly sobbing.

"Wait here first, yeah! Brother will see who comes first down." said Hafidz who is only possessed by the Brother.

Hafidz walked out of Syafira's room, then down the stairs. Upon his arrival, Hafidz opened the door and found a woman behind him at this time.

"Aunty?" said Hafidz confused about the presence of Riska in his house.

"Eh, Nak Hafidz," surprised Riska after she turned herself around.

"Auntie why are you here?" ask Hafidz while frowning his forehead.

"Hmmm ... Aunty wants to see Syafira, is it okay?" permission Riska with a little hesitation.

"By Tan, come on in! Syafira was again in her room earlier." said Hafidz with a friendly smile. Riska nodded her head and followed Hafidz into the house. However, before that, Riska first closed the door of the house and then followed Hafidz who climbed the stairs, to his room Syafira.

Upon arriving in Syafira's room, Riska immediately approached Syafira who was crying. Riska sat on the edge of the girl's bed, then grabbed the back of the girl's hand. Making the Empu immediately surprised at that very moment.

"Sorry Tan, can I take Syafira for a moment?" sela Hafidz before the Little Sister opens her voice.

"Alright, thank you Tan, I'll go first. Dek, you're the same aunt Riska first yes, brother wants to go to the office for a while. Assalamu'alaikum ..." said Hafidz, who after kissing the back of Riska's hand and rubbing the Little Sister's head, and immediately left.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," the two of them answered simultaneously.

After Hafidz's departure, Riska immediately opened her voice. "You remember Auntie, don't you?" ask Riska to make sure.

"Sorry Tan, I forgot." replied Syafira honestly.

"Tante is Reval's mother, Alex's wife." Riska's timpal makes Syafira remember.

"Astaghfirullah, sorry Tan, Syafira forgot." he said a little guiltily.

"Yes, no pa-pa kok, son." said Riska so gently while rubbing Syafira's head with affection.

After that short conversation, the atmosphere became quiet at any time. However, after a few minutes, Riska reopened her voice.

"Have you eaten, honey?" riska asked so gently to Syafira.

"Not Tan, but Syafira hasn't laper" he replied.

"Yaudah, if that's what you're aunty bribe, huh? Coincidentally Aunt was done for Soto Ayam, his favorite Reval at home. And it just so happened that Auntie came here, then Tante bawain." explained Riska, while opening the bushel she brought from the house earlier.

"Eh, Auntie, why bother with everything?" tanya Syafira felt uneasy.

"Auntie doesn't bother, honey. Kan already Aunty said, if Aunt happens to cook Soto Chicken at home, the Aunty group also plans to come here, so all Auntie bring you food." explained Riska once again.

"Still Aunt" said Syafira, who showed a happy smile.

"Yes, equally dear." replied Riska who also displayed her smile. Then, Riska continued her activities to prepare Soto Ayam which is in her chain for Syafira.

"Let's go, open his mouth!" riska's orders left Syafira confused.

"Loh Aunt, no need. Let Syafira eat alone, Syafira does not want to make Aunt so troublesome." said Syafira who makes Riska not like.

"No Ra, this time Auntie will bribe you. And you just have to open his mouth wide, aaak ..." said Riska like going to feed a small child.

"Yaudah deh," Syafira who finally opened her mouth and Riska immediately put one rice bowl mixed with Soto Ayam.

"Where? Aren't you?" ask Riska with such enthusiasm. As for Syafira, she kept trying to chew slowly making Riska become her own greget of this girl's behavior.

"Where, Ra?" ask him again.

"Great boy, Tan. Ara likes Auntie cuisine very much" Syafira said proudly. Although his eyes were not fixed towards Riska, but the look on his face really made Riska happy.

"Because, yaudah tomorrow-tomorrow, Auntie Masakin' again for you, huh?" risk Suggestion.

"Eh, not Tan. Syafira does not want to take Tante" said Syafira is not tasty.

"Not pa-pa, honey. Aunty does not feel bothered, if for your food masakin." said Riska who again makes the girl smile.
