Today is the closing day of Ramadan this year, Sari and Dimas feel very happy because Mama and Papa have arrived at Atmo's grandfather's house since last night.
Lebaran is the third year since Sari lived with her grandfather in Purwokerto. I'm used to the atmosphere here.
During the month of Ramadan yesterday so many campus activities that Sari participated in, one of them by dividing the takjil with some of his college friends in the split at some point. Sari even often open outside the house, because it still has to be on the road with his friends to share the gospel with people passing by.
Last afternoon was the last day Sari and her friends distributed the takjil, at half-six they all gathered at one of the restaurants in the area around GOR Satria, to attend the open event together.
After the bukber event, Sari asks the others for permission to go home first, and as usual, Rizal offers Sari a ride. Since Rizal was a little pushy, Sari was not at ease to reject him.
In the T-junction to his house, Sari saw a catfish pecel seller who went there. His mind immediately remembered the night of the takbiran two years ago. When Moses brought him to eat in the tent, he walked with him all the way to his grandfather's house.
" Sar.., Sari, has arrived", Rizal resuscitates Sari from her daydream.
" Oh.iya, thanks for the ride", Sari rushes to get out of the car, but Rizal holds her hand.
" Sar..., can I have a word?", Rizal looked at Sari so fixedly.
" What?, why not talk from there fit again on the road?", Sari felt uncomfortable with Rizal's attitude. His gaze was still straight looking ahead
" I'm actually...".
Tok.dok...
The sound of Rizal's car glass on tap.
Dimas was standing outside the car, frowning his forehead.
" yes, why are you?", Sari looked at Rizal.
" Eh not so, tomorrow-tomorrow, continued chatting", Rizal scratched his nape that did not itch.
" Yes, I got off first, thanks once again", Sari opened the car door and got out, Rizal just smiled at Dimas, then returned to drive his car, did not stop by.
" Hey, what are you doing in the car for so long?, dating?", scolded Dimas as he looked at Rizal's car that was getting away.
" No.not that my boyfriend is Kak.., he just college students" said Sari explained.
" Yes, I know that she's not your boyfriend, your boyfriend is a teacher in Cairo, right?" said Dimas.
Sari smiled, "sister knows from whom?, right Sari never told the same sister" said Sari while entering the house.
And rounded his eyes when he found who was sitting in the living room chair, with Grandpa and his mother, his father.
" Because your boyfriend is here again, hahahaha", whispered Dimas then wide-eyed at the expression of Sari who was so surprised to see Moses in her house.
The eyes of Sari and Moses looked at each other affectionately, implied by the outpouring of longing from their two eyes.
Still continuing to look at each other speechlessly, everyone watching gave the two of them time to vent their longing by staring at each other.
" Am I a dream?, if yes this is a dream, I hope to sleep longer, and not awake. I really miss him, thank God", Sari said.
" Assalamualaikum.", The voice of Moses resuscitated the daydream of Sari.
" Why is her voice so real, is it real?", Sari patted her own cheek,
" Aww...sick..so this is real".
" Greetings wa'alaikum", replied Sari as she approached Moses. Moses stood up as Sari was right in front of him.
" How are you doing?, being a student is super busy, right?".
Sari just nodded while shedding tears. " It turns out he's real, it's not a dream".
Esti embraces Sari who is still surprised by the arrival of Moses, "Daughter of a beautiful mother..Kok bengong see ustadz Musa here?, he just nanyain tidings you know..., you do not want to ask when ustadz returned to Indonesia?, or peng asked how he was doing", Mama Esti deliberately teased her daughter.
Sari only grimaced while looking down embarrassed.
" Ustadz how is it?, how are Umi and Abi?, Sari alhamdulillah healthy, see, has been fasting a month still not thin too" said Sari with a smile on the skin.
" Thank God I am healthy, Umi and Abi are also healthy, they send greetings to grandfather and you, but have not been able to come here, they are at the house of Uncle Irsyad" said Musa.
" True, thank God that if Umi is really healthy, Sari is happy".
" Now you clean yourself and change clothes first, then come here again, your body smells cool", Esti kissed her daughter's arm.
" Sari lived first ustadz", Moses nodded and sat down again.
15 Minutes later Sari had come out again with a fresh face after bathing and changing clothes.
Sari saw Moses, Grandpa and his papa were having a serious conversation
" Now it will look fresher when you have a bath, and change clothes", Esti rubbed the arms of Sari who sat beside her.
" Sari, this is ustadz here, there is a certain purpose, he has conveyed it to us, now it is your turn to know it too. Because the purpose here is to ask permission to preach you, the plan is three days after Eid al-Fitr tomorrow Moses and his family will come. Grandpa and Papa are up to you, we are honestly grateful if you agree" Papa said.
" Sari wants to", so quickly Sari gave an answer, making everyone shocked by her decision.
" Are you serious?", asked Grandpa Atmo.
Sari nodded, "Two rius instead".
***
Lebaran this year Sari felt abundant with blessings and happiness, surrounded by a complete family also with the arrival of Ustadz Musa and his family.
Just like two years ago, the Musa family and Mr. Irsyad's family came to Grandpa Atmo's house. Even the atmosphere of Lebaran this time more warm, because these two families will unite into one.
Umi continued to hold the hand of Sari who was sitting beside her, apologizing for separating Moses from her for so long. Two years of living with an LDR relationship, it is definitely not an easy thing to do, because Sari is a beautiful and attractive girl, Umi believes many men are trying to approach her.
Therefore, Umi often told Musa to return to Indonesia and meet Sari, but Musa insisted that he wanted to take care of her until she was completely healthy.
