The Fall of the Star
Chapter 27 Healing Slowly

After Elvira died, Bu Nani approached the princess.

“Nak, are you really healthy? You know who Elvira is. Remember what you've been doing all this time?” his girlfriend who was really curious. What he saw earlier as Ayudia wept with Elvira made his hopes for her daughter's recovery swoop up again.

Slowly Ayudia nodded. “Yes, Ma'am sorryin Ayudia, yes, Ma'am. Huhuhuhuuu ..” Now he plunged himself into the arms of his mother.

Bu Nani of course joined the mwnangis to hear his daughter's confession. The thing that the doctor said was a sign of his recovery was when Ayudia could accept all the facts and no longer be confused with the results of her own hallucinations. And this must be one of the signs she's been waiting for.

“Alhamdulillah, O Allah, have You healed the son of the servant,” cried Bu Nani unconsciously. He immediately distanced Ayudia to prostrate her gratitude on the floor right then and there. His heart was so carefree and light seeing his daughter was already aware of what they called ‘sak mental’.

Almost all the neighbors around saw a change in Ayudia and were happy. The girl has been invited several times to go out and sit on the terrace. Even answered the greetings of some neighbors with a smile and greeted back.

Seeing his condition in recent times that only locked himself in the room. Do not want to go out of the room, to the bathroom alone must be forced first and even ask to be bathed. Like a half-lost person.

Bu Nani and Pak Anwar were also very happy that they wanted to give thanks. Although it is almost out of savings and savings and even some of Bu Nani's gold had to be sold for the sake of Ayudia treatment yesterday, but they do not care to spend for the sake of children alone puppet. Moreover, the savings also came from the living given by Ayudia since working in the factory. Bu Nani always accepts it but never spends it. By him bought gold or saved also in the form of money when at any time needed.

“Alhamdulillah, Mom. Ayudia is healthy right, now?” comments of one of the neighbors as they helped in the implementation of Ayudia's healing recourse.

“Yes, thank God once, Mom. Blessings of prayer and the support of all mothers as well. Thank you for all the publicity and help so far for us yes, Bu.” Ms. Nani always expressed her gratitude. Because indeed their close neighbors were very much instrumental in helping Ayudia's recovery.

Many asked the smart man and brought him potions. There were also those who brought herbs from the opposite city as they traveled there for the pilgrimage. And many more prayers of the kyai were also offered specifically to Ayudiah on their behalf. The healing did come from God, but either through the help of which was sent, which Bu Nani was very grateful for.

Ayudia helped cook in the kitchen. Although he was not used to the kitchen, he still tried to ease whatever he could help.

“Nak, if you are healthy later, you do not once again daydream on the streets, yes. Moreover, the road where you were in the accident is right, son. It's a little haunted there. Many accidents there?” said one more mother who really believes in such a clenical thing.

Ayudia looked at Bu Nani, even though they did not believe in such things, but they were also heartless if they directly denied the opinion of the neighbor who had been kind all along.

“Iya, Mom. Ayudia will be careful if passing there,” he replied later, looking for a safe point.

“It is better while traveling it continuously recites shalawat and remembrance in the heart. So let it always be in the protection of God, son.” Again, the advice slides from the group of mothers. Ayudia continued to assent while nodding her head.

“What do you want to get back to work again, Dia?” ask them again.

Actually he had a big plan that had been discussed with Mr. Anwar on Elvira's proposal. But it was kept a secret from Ayudia. Waiting for the right moment so that Ayudia could be ready to accept everything that might happen later.

Ayudia also did not want to confirm what she wanted for the future. What is important now is that he is back to normal thinking and no longer wants to continue to hide behind his own lying hallucinations.

And especially he wanted to ask Elvira for help to convey his apology to friends who had also been lied to about the fake status of students. At least when the death picks up later, he has apologized for all the lies that have been spoken.

On that night Ayudia had a nightmare. He woke up with his chest going up and breathing hard as if being chased by regret. Yes, regret comes in his dream as a huge figure that is deep black and continues to squeeze his chest until he is unable to breathe.

In Ayudia's heart knew it was her fault and she had to do something to get rid of the big black shadow. When he woke up, he immediately realized that the time to apologize must be hastened. Fortunately, God still gave him time to act before things got too late.

He said he was lucky to have the opportunity to apologize. He immediately told Elvira the contents of his dream.

“Yes Allah, She. Nakutin once his dream,” comments Elvira was horrified to hear it.

“I what else is ngalamin. Cold sweat came out continuously from earlier,” Ayudia replied while still holding back the trembling in her body.

“But you are really ready if you apologize to the friends? If yes, then I can schedule our meeting. I'll have an impromptu get-together on the weekend. How's it? In my house just let you not be too far.” Elvira proposed a suggestion that Ayudia found very good.

“Agree! Please, yeah, El. Tell them I want a confession. I want to apologize and I don't know if they will assume the same I want to like what, the important thing is I've apologized.” Ayudia immediately agreed to the proposal of her best friend.

“Siap. I'll try to keep them coming. You take good care of yourself mentally, yes. Your intentions are good, he. Do not let the devil later succeed in persuading you to change your mind again, loh.” Elvira warned.

Ayudia chuckled amusedly because she felt Elvira was now very careful of her. Well, reasonable. His experience of being massively lied to by Ayudia was unmitigated.

“Still again, yes, El. I don't know what your heart is made of until there's never been a heartache like me. Though I myself have been so bad to you all this time,” regrets Ayudia, half ashamed of her own behavior. I don't know what demon possessed him first.
