The Power of a Prayer

The Power of a Prayer
CHAPTER 45 KSD_Fight And Be Patient


Two days after my return Dayat. Today I'm going with Dad to pick him up. Mom didn't come because she wanted to cook for us after coming home from the airport.


After dawn with Mom, I prepared breakfast before leaving while waiting for Dad to come home from the mosque. Mother herself is busy making fried foods that will be sold.


Our menu this morning saute fried kale catfish. The remaining four kale harvests have not been sold. One tie in your own cook three tie in a bucket of water on the terrace of the shop Mother who knows who will buy tomorrow.


After returning from the mosque Dad immediately turned on the car engine, and in the breakfast stay.


"Are you ready yet Nduk?" Dad put in a drink and some heavy food Mom who fries all for sale.


"Well, just pick up Brother in the truck how?"


"Why use a truck, do not use this alone" Dad pointed to the car to be used.


"Nera wants to try driving on the highway, Nera will just learn here and here."


"Remain, are you ready to cross with the big cars?"


"God willing, Yah."


"But the same promise you have to be careful."


"Ready! Commander" I show respect in front of Dad.


Finally, Dad agreed to my request. I want to launch truck driving. I've wanted to drive on the highway for a long time but haven't been allowed by Dad, just this time I got a permit.


I was alone with Mom and sat in the steering wheel, so excited that it did not help Dad move supplies from the previous car.


"How are you ready to go?"


"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, ready Well."


"Let's go."


I waved my hand at Mom, then drove slowly. I'm very happy to be allowed to take a truck on the highway. I really enjoyed this trip. When else to drive the truck out of town other than today, after the holidays I will also return to the cottage.


"Later after arriving at the padepokan pull over for a while ya."


"Yes Well."


Five minutes later, I arrived at the store that was meant by Dad and I pulled over.


"It's up to Dad."


"The change used to be with Dad, fearing that there will be raids because you are not old enough and do not have a SIM" explained Dad.


"Oh yes Well, but later Nera's drive home again Yeah Well."


"Yes." Yeah."


From the paddock to the airport Dad's driving. Dad passed another lane because he was carrying a truck.


Arriving at the airport coincided with Dayat who had just stopped his steps standing in front of a taxi counter.


"Sister" I ran then hugged Dayat, he stroked the tip of my head that was layered in a simple pashmina while blowing a prayer on my forehead.


"Dad" Dayat said, kissing the back of his right hand.


"Let's just go home, Mom is cooking for us. If you're hungry, I brought a mother-made fritters."


"Well, there's no fried banana, huh?"


"There dong, yesterday I took the time to buy bananas and buy petai for your sister."


"There's nothing behind the house?"


"Still young, two weeks ago Dad had just harvested bananas and petai so he was still young the rest" explained Dad.


You talk while you drive to the car.


"Loh, you got a truck?" Dayat was surprised by the vehicle we were riding.


"Your brother is asking, wanting to feel like he's carrying a truck on the highway."


"Hehehe" I just chuckled.


"Sister's good at carrying cars but still not old enough to have a SIM, so Dad's bringing after in the paddle."


"I guess the sister drove up here."


"No."


"Oh yeah, yesterday Dhani stopped by the house not well."


"No, he just stopped at the city park."


"Oh" said Dayat, then looked at me with a furrowed eyebrow.


"Why Brother?"


"Are you guys in trouble yesterday, Brother told Dhani to stop by the house."


"It's true what Dad said, if Sister there's nothing with Dhani" Dad chimed in.


"Amiin" said Dayat.


"What is the brother of amiin."


"Just give it up."


...***...


Pov Dhani's


Uhuukkk...


In different places there is choking when just breathing.


"Don't you know what's up with his throat?" My sister stared intensely.


"Someone is talking about you maybe."


"Well, someone's missing you."


"stttt..." I put my index finger on my own lips.


"So, you're weird too. Like people, but be quiet."


"It's okay as long as it doesn't hurt the person we like."


"Yes, I agree."


I'm silly outside the house, but I'm not like that when I'm with my family, I'm more quiet and study wise. I'd be mad if I acted weird, acted silly and mean. All that I do is just to entertain and melt the atmosphere.


"Bang, someone's coming" Mom called me.


"Who's Ma'am?"


"Mahen."


"Mahen? Mahendra Aerospace?" Ask me to make sure Mom.


"Yes" said Mother.


I headed to the living room, sure Mahen was sitting while enjoying milk tea served by Mother. That's one of Mother's habits, if anyone visits, they must serve a drink first and ask what his needs are.


"Mahen" call me.


"Dhani" he said, then we hugged.


"I don't think you're going home for a reunion."


"I thought you weren't going home, you were going to school in Java."


"Yes, thank God, to meet you again."


"How are you doing away at school?"


"Thank God as you see today."


"Alhamdulillah" Mahen said hamdalah then hugged me again.


So far only Mahen knows my house, because his father became my father's right hand, and Mother who holds all the finances, whether household finances or garden money, so if you are going to pay employees is a busy mother herself. Therefore Mother wants to go home quickly when delivering me to the cottage.


"Have you got your love?"


"No, I still have to fight and be patient. Nera had another man a month before the cottage, she said I was insensitive."


"You always think of rejection rather than having to try first."


"Yes, and I'm so sorry I didn't try that before."


"Many more of your prayers, if indeed he is your match you will surely get it" Mahen sure.


"May God give all that is my love."


"Mi'mi'n Allah."


...***...


Today is the day that makes me want to go home. I was ready with a dress that I coated trousers as an interior, I combined with a mid-size rectangular veil.


"Sik, you will leave with friends, who will you be with or who?" Dayat was wearing his shoes.


"I left with Mika alone, I made a promise yesterday."


"Yes be careful, later if you have to tell Brother yes let Brother not worry."


"Okey."


After saying goodbye to both parents, I walked towards Mika's house. Dayat himself has left.


It only took three minutes to reach Mika's yard.


"Assalamualaikum" my greeting in front of Mika's house that opened a little door.


"Wa'alaikumsalam" his mother said. "When I was wearing a veil, I sat my son in his tea" continued his mother while pouring the tea that had been on the table to the glass and gave it to me.


"Thank you Ma'am" I received a glass from Mika's mother without thinking straight away I drank up the toilet, coincidentally still warm.


"Let's be careful on the road, Mama's children" I and Mika kissed the back of Mika's mother's right hand.


We said goodbye because the taxi ordered by Mika was parked in the yard.
