THE SMILE OF THE MOON
Emi's arrival to her home for the second time was not realized Alfian..

Bu Ely rushed to the kitchen and immediately opened the package containing chicken satay and grilled fish and served it in front of Alfian who was eating. Alfian looked astonished, seeing how many side dishes were in front of him. Tumben today eats with that much side dish. Many more. Bu Ely just smiled looking at Alfian's eyes glancing to and fro.

"No, no need to ask where you got all this. You eat only, we can eat luxuriously at all times" said Ely before Alfian asked. She then ate with Alfian.

"Assalamualaik."

I heard greetings from outside. Alfian and Miss Ely fell silent, wanting to make sure that the greeting that sounded was indeed aimed at them.

The greeting sounded a second time. Bu Ely got up and immediately stepped towards the sound. A young girl was seen in the courtyard of the house. The girl smiled when she saw Miss Ely coming out of the house.

"Eh, Nak_" said Miss Ely while trying to remember the name of the girl in front of her.

"Emi Bu," said Emi welcomed. Miss Ely smiled.

"Oh yes, Emi. I forgot, I knew it was new" said Ms. Ely, pointing at Emi.

Emi thrust her hand out to greet Ely's mom but Ely's mom hurriedly pulled her hand.

"I'm sorry, Emi, I haven't washed my hands. Mom's hand stinks fishy" said Ely's mother half embarrassed. But Emi still grabbed Ely's hand and kissed her.

"Let's go inside, son, it's not good to stand outside" said Ely.

"No ma'am, I'm in a hurry. I'm going to the cottage. I'm just here to say thank you for saving my book yesterday."

"Thank you yesterday. But it's okay, I'm glad Nak Emi wants to stop by mom's house again,"

"Well, what's this kid, I'm really bothering you" said Ely. At first he pushed her back but Emi kept trying to get Ely to pick her up.

"I had the intention of giving it to my mother, so I hope you don't reject it. Mom, I'll play here sometime if I have time. But now I say goodbye, go to the cottage." Emi grabs Ely's hand and kisses her. Miss Ely suddenly grabbed Emi's head and kissed her forehead. Emi just smiled.

"Come sometime. Mom's door was always open" said Ely.

"Thank you Ma. Mari Bu, assalamualaikum," said Emi pamit and went accompanied by a look of admiration bu Ely.

After Emi's body disappeared from her sight, Miss Ely went back in and met Alfian who still had not finished her food in the kitchen. He deliberately ate slowly so that he could accompany Ely to finish his meal, after a while to meet someone outside the house. Bu Ely who was waiting was even busy opening the souvenirs that Emi had given.

"COD's mother what else it is," asked Alfian when he saw his mother trying to open the black parcel. The package was sealed too tightly, making Ely's mom have trouble opening it. Seeing that, Alfian immediately washed his hands. The knife that was tucked in the plate rack was taken away and started cutting the duct tape that bound the package.

"This is like a package that is usually ordered online. Buy long distance ma'am, over the internet. Great mother, already can order goods via the internet," said Alfian teasing his mother.

"Mother doesn't understand. This was the same love, Emi. That, the kid who missed the book yesterday,"

Alfian was silent . His heart was instantly pounding as well. It turned out that the white hooded girl was a guest of her mother just a moment ago. He felt sorry for missing the chance to see his girlfriend. Alfian grew shocked when he saw the contents of the package he opened turned out to be three ties of dried squid.

"Kok want Emi to know your favorite. How did he know also that the stock of squid at home was exhausted. Just now mom is planning to go to the market to buy dried squid, the smell came alone. Maybe you're a fool, son," he pinched Ely's chin while pinching Alfian's.

Alfian smiled. I don't know how many times Amin said in silence. "O Allah, grant the prayer of the mother of the Servant" Alfian prayed in her heart.

The weather above the village sky was starting to darken. The cloudiness that had been still visible in the distance had already arrived and filled the sky. Rain spots began to be heard on the roof of the house. It was getting bigger and the rain was sounding heavy.
