At the terminal is seen a sweet hijab girl who entered the age of 19 years, just got off the bus with a groping suitcase. Then he took the phone in his sling bag to make a call.
"Assalamualaikum, Brother Ali. I've arrived, Brother where?" ask a guy across the phone.
"Wa'alaikumsallam, Deck. Brother's in the waiting room, where are you?" said the man called Ali as he glanced at the watch in his hand.
"I just got off the bus, wait for me to get there." The call was turned off, and the girl rushed straight to the place where her brother was waiting for her.
"Hi Kak, Lea kangen." Sapanya then hugged the sister tightly to let go of the longing.
"Hi Dek, Brother is also missing, how was your trip?" asked Ali while returning his embrace.
"Yes quite tired, the journey from the city of Osi Bhinna to the city of Marubhumi takes approximately 4 hours, but I'm happy." Alea said with a cheerful smile.
"Thank God you're happy." Say Ali and smile.
Alea let go of her embrace. "Son Ali's been waiting a long time?"
"Not long, about 20 minutes. Yes, we've been to the boarding of Brother first now, later on continue talking, yuk." Ali stroked the girl's head neatly covered with the hijab.
Alea nodded. "What's okay?" tanyakanya.
"Bike dong motorbike, it's parked there." Show Ali to the parking lot.
"Here's the suitcase let Brother take it." He continued by snatching the suitcase from Alea's hand.
Ali drives away from the terminal to his boarding house with Alea behind him.
Alea Sapphira, commonly called Alea or Lea, is an orphan girl who lived in an orphanage since childhood or can be said as an infant. Cared for by a married couple who are considered like their own parents. Abi and Umi that's the call for both people who are very meritorious in his life. Alea had such great and sincere affection, as well as the other orphanage children, they gave each other love.
The newly established orphanage was two years old right at the time of Alea's presence and has now been running for years until the modest home is crowded with children who adorn laughter. Despite often feeling deprived of the economy, food and clothing had to share, there was not the slightest sadness on their faces. Having a harmonious family becomes happiness for all of them.
Living with simplicity, cheerfulness, and warmth he always felt along with others. Likewise with Ali Wijaya Kusuma, an eight-year-old boy whom Umi Maryam met while busking in the market, no one knows the whereabouts of his parents, no one knows, because of his feelings of compassion, the woman finally wanted to take care of him.
Until the time Ali had grown up and decided to find a job in a fairly large and crowded city. The city is called Marubhumi which is nicknamed as a beautiful city, because the residents of the city like to do greening, of course until now there are many trees or plants in every yard of the house of the residents.
As long as Ali lived far away in the city, he never once forgot his family. Each month always transfers some of his salary to his parents, even though the salary is not much, but enough to meet his needs.
The hard work and attention that Ali gave to her family made Alea feel amazed and wanted to follow in her footsteps. Studying hard to achieve his goals makes both parents proud of the high grades he always got during school. After graduating High School the woman plans to continue her studies, getting a college degree is her dream at this time. His intelligent brain and never complain to learn makes him get a scholarship at one of the favorite universities in the city of Marubhumi.
Indeed, all children in the orphanage are taught to live independently so that when growing up can determine the path for their respective futures. Abi Sofyan and Umi Maryam have worked hard to finance the needs and education of their children, until now when Alea left for Marubhumi was still supplied with some money for him. Alea promised herself that it was the last money she received from her parents. In this city he will
working as his brother who can meet the needs of his beloved family.
Talking about the biological parents and the origin of Alea is very dark. Entering adolescence at the age of 13, Alea once asked the whereabouts of her father and mother. At that time also umi Maryam told me, Alea's parents' house was not far from the orphanage, umi Maryam and her mother could be said to be very close because almost every day they always chat.
A few years ago, a young man and woman entered a remote, poorly populated area called Osi Bhinna. They are a couple who have just married. Due to economic limitations and have not found any jobs in the area, they chose to live in a small rented precisely opposite the orphanage owned by Umi Maryam and abi Sofyan.
The woman Maya used to call so friendly and open to her surrounding neighbors, it made her quickly familiar and known to be humble by everyone. So with umi Maryam who can adjust to the existence of Maya, a woman younger than him.
Two years have settled there, the couple has not been blessed with children even though Maya is very eager to feel the existence of a child. Although Surya, her husband never demanded it but as a woman there is a sense of loneliness when being alone at home, because Surya works as a pelvic porters who leave the morning home in the afternoon. As a result, umi Maryam often took her to the orphanage to play with her children.
A few months later, Maya is pregnant. The happy news for him and his husband did not last long when entering the seventh month of his pregnancy, Surya had an accident to take his life. The sad news that makes Maya depressed and umi Maryam trying to always accompany also helps rise from her slump.
Until finally Maya struggled alone to make a living to meet herself as well as the baby. Approaching the time of giving birth, the woman was very excited to meet the baby, but still clearly visible aura of sadness that never disappeared from the look of her face. Husband who was not on his side while struggling to give birth to a life, only accompanied by several neighbors also umi Maryam who always existed like a sister.
After the child was born, his needs increased. Maya only sells drinks and instant food in front of her contract, serving buyers as well as taking care of her baby. Alea Safira, the name Maya gave to her son in the way the man she loved when she was around. Although the situation is pushy, he tried sincere and hard in living it. Only his son was happy for him.
Only a few months to feel happiness over the presence of a baby at his side, the ordeal came back to befall the woman. Maya often felt his body limp, tightness in the chest as well as abdominal pain like there were thousands of needles impaled on his body, several times he removed blood from his mouth. Unceasingly the lips continued to chant prayers to the creator. Until he felt unable to move his body, he just lay down waiting for the time where he would meet his husband again.
When that time came, umi Maryam who replaced herself to look after and care for Alea was like her own child.
The story that sliced the heart of a teenage child, until the adult Alea still remembered it and felt how sad the destiny lived by the mother was also so strong when the mother struggled against her pain alone.
Although never saw the face of his parents, Alea loved them very much. The photos he asked of his ummah were kept neatly on an album, including the wedding photos of his parents that sometimes made him shed tears. Often he went to his second tomb to be cleaned and prayed for them, otherwise he could only pray in his prayers. Alea wished for the two to be reunited and live happily in His Jannah.
