The Lost Of Ramadan
Thalib the Musafir Part 6
That afternoon was the last day of Akira's and other punishments. It was after the execution of dutiful punishment in the nursing home of their area, because there was still time they held a meeting back at Ken's house that Akira occupied.
“As Grandma said next our plan is to urge Osama to tell her the true events about Thalib, but the difficulty we are facing now is Akira who is not good at delivering things,” said Chio bowed lethargic make Akira like feeling an arrow stuck in the chest.
“Yes even though he is sometimes the most excited among us, to the extent that his spirit speech is often repeated,” said Ayumi made Akira feel more pain.
“Cih .. why not do that again, I mean like you did to me back then,” Shiro said.
“Truely, at that time you managed to make a deal with Shiro, Shiro said you spoke like a sneaky person,” said Chio making Akira again get sicker.
“A’ahh ... it was too difficult, I had to do strenuous exercises to be able to match Shiro at that time, you could say I had to do ..”
“You mean reflect on the river and train your facial features until yelled at a crazy little boy ha ha ha..”
“Yes very bad pardon you Ayumi,” replied Akira while bowing lethargic, suggest Chio and Ayumi laughed.
Shiro just rolled his eyes lazily. “Cih ... so now what?”
They were silent and trying to think. “Hemh .. what can we do for all who will urge him,” said Chio.
“But Grandma said, Akira is the one who should make her believe,” Ayumi replied.
“True, Grandma told Akira to do that, she told Akira to tell her who she was like she told us, but what if we all together made Uncle Osama believe who Akira really was, and what if we were all together, I'm sure Uncle won't be able to argue with what happened with Akira, that's all we can do together.” Chio convinced them.
“Cih ... I am oneju with Chio, rather than let him talk to himself, it will definitely fail,” Shiro said.
“Truely, I can't imagine how Uncle Osama would scratch his head like Grandma when Akira told me,” said Ayumi and their beards.
“Hemh ... evil once you guys,” he said while bowing lethargic makes them laugh and Shiro smiles.
The next morning they all went to Osama's house and only met his mother. At that time his mother said Osama was working at the elder's place, he also said it seemed like he was preparing for a village ceremony that would be held soon. At that time his mother said if he wanted to go here again come at night because Osama would be home, without thinking they agreed.
After waiting long enough night arrived, the time felt very long because of the curiosity stirring and disturbing their minds. They all just left after waiting for Akira and Ayumi to perform Magrib Prayers together at Chio's house.
*tok tok ...
“Punches ... Granny ..!” call Chio while knocking on the door.
It did not take long for the door to open and immediately asked to enter by Osama, at that time they looked confused because when the door opened they saw some dishes were available and the uncle also looked serious and careful when he wanted to close the door, he looked around first before closing the door. As if he knew what they wanted to talk about.
While they were all silent as well as Osama and his mother by his side, the tense atmosphere between them made Chio and the others' plans crumble, until Shiro stirred up the tension by dudah gave the code for Chio to start talking.
“Emm .. anu, our arrival here wants to talk about ...”
When Chio was talking, Osama suddenly reached for his hand and pointed his palm towards Chio giving a sign to stop.
“Muhammad Akira, try to tell me who you really are, if you say it is Ken's twin or his brother then I won't tell you who Thalib really is,” he said seriously looking at Akira made them all jerk silently staring at Akira and Osama.
The flashback
That day right after Akira and the others were expelled from Osama to leave the nursing home place of the grandfather area, and left Osama and his grandfather alone.
“Why? Do you also want to arrest me, Thalib Osama my son!” said Grandpa staring at Osama.
At that moment, Osama shed his tears. “Why do you tell me that again, are you not afraid if this is known to the village elders, do you want to deal with them again?”
“Heh .. I am old, there is nothing I can pass on other than that story, everyone should know again the forgotten story,” the answer looks relaxed and arrogant.
“But I don't want to see Dad get a death sentence from an elder!” his reply screamed while crying, “got lightening in this place alone was painful for me, I want Dad can be with us at home instead of being fouled like this. Though at that time I was very trying to make Dad safe by applying for the punishment to be accommodated in this place rather than die, but Dad even told me that again!”
“But you should also be grateful that this place is now used for elderly people who have no family, this place that you made has made you filial every day to parents, he said,” said the grandfather while smiling knot.
“But not for Dad! Because you have a family, I can keep you at home with you, so please don't tell people about it, this is a problem I'm going to tell them to forget,” replies Osama makes grandfather feel guilty.
“Don't Osama, not for them, because the Ken you reprimanded earlier wasn't Ken,” the answer made Osama gasp in shock.
“I also just found out about this, at that time Ken had come here with Shiro, because he could trust them I also told him about Thalib, but after how long he came again with Shiro and asked to be told again, even though at that time I had told him,” he explained.
“Gosh Dad was talking about what, maybe he forgot so he asked to be told again.”
“Not Osama, because he himself admitted that he was Muhammad Akira who claimed that he was Ken's twin, and more powerful Chio, Ayumi, and Shiro from the gelagat they already know who he really is, and at this time they are trying to keep it a secret about Akira.”
“What's free? Do you not see how Ayumi dressed,” cut it makes Osama silent Silence considering Ayumi who he did not realize was wearing a veil covering her head.
“Then how did they know the name Muhammad, a name similar to your grandfather's, was named, do you not remember that the name of Muhammad and Thalib is the name of someone who is special with the name of a god enhancer who is almighty Esa” he continued to make Osama again silent.
“I know it will be hard for you to believe, but I believe he is one of the successors of Thalib who will bring change to this village. So, please just this once you try to trust me, for Akira to tell him the truth, if indeed he is not from our place then we can entrust the relics of Thalib,” continued Grandpa.
“But Dad, it's too dangerous if we hand it over to them, what if he's the elder's messenger who wants to take the item, I know that's all that's left and unknown to people, all the others have been destroyed by the village elder.”
“If indeed he is the elder's envoy, there is only one way to find out. Ask who the god is,” he replied with a smile looking at Osama.
The flashback
“Who are you Muhammad Akira?” ask Osama.
“As Uncle knows, I am not Ken's twin but someone who was deliberately sent to this world,” replied Akira a little hesitant.
“What Do You Mean?” ask uncle seriously.
“I'll tell you who I really am uncle, but before that what uncle can keep it secret from others,” Akira replied still doubtful.
“True, uncle must keep it secret like all of us, otherwise Akira could be caught by the elder,” said Chio.
“Cih .. if the uncle says it to others then not only Akira is arrested but we are also,” Shiro said while Ayumi was a mangosteen.
“Calm down, I'm not that person, I have something to say anyway, but before that you have to tell me who you are Akira,” Osama replied.
Akira looked at Chio and the others, then they all nodded. After that they all helped Akira tell a story, saying, if there is something that is not understood by Osama then Chio and the others will help explain it back to Osama, until finally Akira was finished telling everything.
At that time, not only was Osama stunned, his mother was not able to think about what Akira was experiencing. “Hey Akira, who is your Lord?” tanyanya is still flabbergasted.
“Bismilbornrahmanirrahim. He is the Supreme Godhead of Allah SWT.” Akira said firmly.
“That means, you are the same religious person as Thalib the traveler,” said Osama's mother who had just silently listened, but this time it looks happy.
Akira nodded. “A’ahh .. if Thalib is indeed as we all thought, that is a Muslim person then not only me, Ayumi is also the same.”
Osama is smiling too. “True, as you guys thought Thalib was a Muslim.”
Chio Wonderful and curious. “Wait a minute, why can Uncle know that Thalib is a muslim.”
“It was my father who told me, he was Grandpa who told you the story of Thalib,” Osama replied as he smiled at Chio.
“Ehhh ..!” they're all dumbfounded.
“So that grandfather is Uncle's father?!” sahut Ayumi's.
“True, he is my husband, the father of Osama,” replied Osama's mother while laughing a little.
“But why can be there, instead of the place is only for parents who do not have family anymore,” said Chio astonished.
“It does not feel right if I tell it from the moment of the prohibition against telling the Talib. I'm sure you all would like to hear how the old man's fake story can be spread easily, so I'll tell you how the real story was when Thalib made it to our village,” he replied reply avenging.
Hearing that answer they all look serious to hear and listen to make Osama smile and ready to tell stories.
“At that time it was rainy season in our village, but the day was hot and only felt warm. An old man looking for grass is away from the village because our village was not fenced like this. As he coolly plucked the grass suddenly a man came riding to greet him, he was Thalib the traveler. The grass-finder was astonished to see Thalib and was terrified."
"Thalib calmed him down and said don't be afraid that he won't hurt, he also asked the grazer to deliver his cheese and the grazer was a snow. At that time Thalib told him to ride the other horse because he brought two, but the grazer was afraid, well great Thalib actually got off his horse and the road along with the grazer, the grazer, until the grass is amazed. Well that's the reason why we should be devoted to parents,” said Osama made them realize it.
“Oh ... so it was originally!” said Ayumi.
“That's how Ayumi, do you still remember what I taught to be more civilized to parents, what she did was one of the adabnya,” said Akira made Chio mangosteen.
“After arriving at our village, the grazer was only able to deliver until the beginning of the house of the residents because they want to continue working. When Thalib walked in the village, he was passing by many people who were chatting on the side of the road or in the streets of the house, those who saw Thalib were all astonished and curious about him, how not in terms of clothing has been seen far from our village people, even the rich at that time feel jealous because losing is good, even though the clothes are a little dull because the long journey is still less good."
"The one who saw began to whisper and was fascinated with Thalib until scattered into the ears of the elder. A messenger was sent to meet him and told him to go to meet the village elder. At that time Thalib was resting while eating at one of the bakeries. Suddenly the elder's envoy came to meet and asked to go see the village elder, hearing that without a second thought Talib agreed to it. Not long after they arrived at the elder's house and were warmly welcomed, when Thalib was asked to say where he was from, he replied that he had come from the land of Sabbat, the messenger and the elder who heard it did not think that there was another land besides them. The elder kept asking about the land and suddenly he changed into dislike when he heard about another deity, no one knew what kind of deity it was, and no one knew what kind of deity it was, but some say it is worshiping the sun,” Osama said.
“Adding sun?” yell them simultaneously.
