Waiting for the Love of the Country
S2 | Heart Anxiety

The clink of time sounded throughout the night, until now Alana had not been able to close her eyes. He went to the bathroom, and took ablution. Although Alana currently does not use the hijab, but she is a devout girl in worship. The same was felt by Husain and Cyra. They could not sleep that night.

Cyra looked at the face of the mother who was still sleeping, Cyra slept with Mama Febri tonight. While Papa Zaydan slept with other fathers in the middle room. Cyra got out of her bed, she opened the diary she always carried. In the middle of the night, Cyra wrote her heart in agitation.

____________

Dear diary,

Tonight my eyes refused to close.. Still vividly remembered in my memory, when the beastman would snatch away my chastity.. My heart is burning, I am ashamed.. I'm lucky, Alana found me before the man took away my chastity.. But I still feel dirty.. I regret that I have followed such a huge ego inside of me.. Am I still worthy of being loved? I am so much trouble for my friends that I do not realize how much they love each other.. I even incised a wound in their hearts.. Lord... I want to live well, I don't want to be a burden to anyone..

Papa Andi's.. Forgive Cyra who can't be a country man like you.. Right now, all Cyra wants is to make Mama and Papa Zaydan happy..

____________

Cyra fell asleep after writing in her favorite diary. As for Alana, she was still crying in her looking up hands. Expecting calm in his heart.

"O Allah, give me peace in my heart.. Forgive me for all the sins that I have committed, take away this love for him.. Replace it with my love for You which should be greater.. Give me strength to live out all the destinies of Your life, O Allah.." Alana's cry broke when she remembered all the love in her heart.

The dawn prayer woke Elmira, glimpsed to the side. Where Biang Mira still sleeps. Last night, the two Elmira slept together.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

The sound of knocking on the door made Elmira move out of her bed.

"Sister Rara, wake up! We pray at dawn below," said Alana knocking on the door.

"Yes deck, wait Brother for a moment! Take ablution first" said Elmira.

While Alana was waiting for Elmira, Husain also just came out of her room. Along with Cyra who just came out of the guest room.

"Pump! Lets miss the congregation!" take Cyra to Alana and Husain.

"Say first, wait for Rara, again" Alana subtly refused.

"Yaudah I'm with you first, yes" Cyra said as she walked with Husain.

"You're a good fit" said Alana, looking at Husain and Cyra who walked together.

Chandra was awake, he was staring at the beautiful Elmira with a white face. Chandra did not take his eyes off.

"I pray together first, Dad!" mirda said, casting Chandra's gaze.

"Yes boy! Pray for your Mother and Father" Chandra reminded.

"If only my Lord and your Lord were one, I would make sure you were mine Elmira" Chandra said in her heart.

Prayers congregation this time is very solemn, Mirda asked to be the Imam in this prayer. Elmira shed tears in her prayer, when she heard Mirda reciting the holy verses of the Qur'an. Likewise with Alana and Cyra, especially at this time their hearts are fragile. After the prayer, the mothers struggled in the kitchen. Not only cooking but also chattering in the morning.

Unlike the usual day, Elmira does not help the Mother. Because today he's going to pick up his best friend at the airport.

"Bun, where's Dad? Brother wants permission to pick up Afifah at the airport" said Elmira.

"Father again the morning walk with the fathers, you are won by Om Mirda!" pinta Mother.

"Mmm, can it be the same Monik? Or Bang Ain!" tawar Elmira spoiled.

"You're like a vegetable mamang, brother! Pake a bargaining event all," said Ummi while laughing at the behavior of Elmira.

"You want Bang Rian Anter, Elmira?" sahut Rian surprised Elmira.

"mmmmmmm.. Not a snap Bang?" asked Elmira hesitatingly.

"No! Yaudah ayok, gini saturday jammed loh!" said Rian.

Rian accompanied Elmira to the airport. While passing in front of the compound, Elmira saw her father was taking a morning walk with Chandra and the others. They stopped to say goodbye to everything.

"Dad, I'll take Afifah to the airport, yeah!" pamit Elmira kisses his father's hand.

"Two of them?" tanya Fahri looked at Elmira and Rian alternately.

"Yes Dad, any minute! Pick up Afifah keep nyari kost, I promise not to come home too late Dad," nervous Elmira when saying that.

"Mirr! You're coming with them" Fahri said.

"Ready! Commander!" answer Mirda.

Inevitably, Elmira must take Mirda with them. Elmira knew very well, if the words of her father could never be denied.

"Let me drive" asked Mirda to Rian at the wheel.

"Look out, Mir! Let me drive, if we're tired of changing!" rian.

The three of them left for the airport, Mirda sat beside Rian and Elmira was in the back. Along the way, Elmira and Rian continued to talk about medicine.

While Chandra and his friends are enjoying a cup of coffee and a plate of fried food made by their wives.

"It seems like Abang is still very possessive with Elmira" Chandra told Fahri.

"should! I don't want the past to repeat itself, especially now that Elmira is 22 years old. They will definitely be eyeing Elmira again" Fahri said, explaining why he treated Elmira.

"Did Elmira know?" ask the worried Chandra.

"He already knew, even the cause of my heart attack yesterday was when Elmira said that her name was Quera" Fahri said with sadness.

"Calm down, Ri. Everything will be fine! We as friends will always be there beside you and take care of Elmira" said Bang Dzikri.

"I'll always be Elmira's shield, Bang Fahri," Chandra's inner.

Elmira has arrived at the airport, she is waiting for the arrival of Afifah along with Mirda and Rian. When she saw her best friend, Elmira waved her hand.

"Fifaaaahhhhhh.......!" elmira shouted while waving her hand.

"Raraaaaa........!" shouts Afifah while stretching out his hands. They cuddle.

Mirda and Rian just shook their heads, because of the behavior of the two girls.

"Laperrrrrr," whined Afifah at Elmira.

"Well, is it breakfast? Habits!" pissed Elmira.

"Sorry sweet ladies, we haven't had breakfast either! Can we talk over breakfast?rian asked, making the two shocked.

"Eh, let's bang let's have breakfast first," Elmira tells Rian and Mirda.

"God! You got a cool sidecar wouldn't recognize me?" whisky Afifah.

"Just a minute!" elmira answered and pulled Afifah's hand.

At the moment there is no conversation in the car, they dissolve in their minds. Finally they decided to have breakfast of Yellow Rice on the side of the road.

"Original! Bandung champions really about culinary, the food is delicious!" enthusiastic Afifa.

"Eat him later if our holiday is culinary, belom ever do you try the same cirling cilok? Beuuhh just dutiful!" said Elmira who was no less enthusiastic.

"Mir, girls about food number one!" rian whispered to Mirda but could still be heard by the two girls.

"Ra! How come you whisper, it's rich my front neighbor!" afifah's chirps made Rian choke on his food.

"Eat it if you don't eat it by the way!" mirda said while giving a drink.

Uhuukkk.. Uhuukkk...

"Oh Allah, it's already finished the meal and the conversation!" said the worried Elmira.

"I'm done! Sorry, but that's a 2-year-old problem. How is it still inget! I've apologized and compensated, anyway" Afifah told Rian.

"So you mean, Bang Rian?" ask Elmira not to believe it.

"What's? What do you mean by what the hell?!" rian's Anger at Afifa.

"He's an abal-abal boy! Pink car, spoiled again like a girl!" ledek Afifa.

"That's Seina's car, my sister! In part so bar-bar girls really, feel the path of his own other mah humpang!" annoyed Rian.

"Stoooooo! My head is even dizzy with you guys babbling! Now back to me!" said Elmira unconsciously pulled the hand of Mirda who was still drinking.

"Rome! What you pulled wasn't me!" afifah said that made Elmira look up.

Mirda's clothes were wet because of the drinking water spill she was holding.

"Eh, sorry Bang!" shocked Elmira let go of Mirda's hand while Rian and Afifah laughed out loud.

Pissed with laughter, Mirda pulls Elmira's hand to walk towards the car.

"You come or I stay!" firmly Mirda made Afifah and Rian immediately rush over.

When going to get into the car, Afifah and Rian are still noisy.

"You two sit in the back!" it was Elmira who made Rian and Afifah speechless.

"Suit well! Fiercely," Afifah whispered to Rian.

"Mir, said this girl you match Elmira," said Rian complained.

"The guy is complaining! You little mamih boy!" afifah said in annoyance.

"Okay, Bang Bang street! I'm dizzy in my head" Elmira pinta told Mirda.

Along the way, Rian and Afifah were still arguing. While Mirda and Elmira have been compact to listen to music through their earphones. Now they arrived at the House of Elmira, Afifa did not even notice it.

"Ra! Find a boarding place first! How come!" afifah whinek.

"Let's see you first, relax! You're good!" elmira.

"Yes you know, Dad is so nice! I'm the one who's ashamed," said Afifah.

"Close your face in shame! Or do you want to come behind me?" ledek Rian who got a blow on his shoulder.

"Ouch! Sick parrot!" annoyed Rian.

The commotion in the parking lot, making the parents out of the house.

"Sign in! Embarrassed by the noise there," cried Ummi Ulil. They finally went inside.

"Assalamu'alaikum" they said simultaneously.

"Walaikumsalam, Afifah here son! How was your trip?" ask Mother Gisya.

"Alhamdulillah smoothly, Bun." replied Afifah lowered his head in shame.

"Afifah, you will stay here with us. So you don't have to find a boarding place" said Father Fahri to make Afifah more down.

Fahri's father slowly approached Afifah, he rubbed the girl's shoulder.

"You're Dad's best friend's son, I should've taken care of you too! So don't worry, yeah!" fahri said to Afifah.

"Yes Dad, thank you." said Afifah raised his face to look at Fahri.

A tear began to fall on the girl's cheek.

They wonder who Afifa really is. Even Mama Febri and Ummi do not know who Afifah really is.

"Who Afifa? Which son of Bang Fahri's best friend?" ask Ummi Ulil.

"Afifah this is the second child of Bella's sister Mas Kemal," replied Mother Gisya while gently rubbing Afifah's head.

"Bella's? The one that almost made you wretched?" shock Ummi Ulil.

"Udah! It was just that, now he was happy in Heaven. Afifah from now on Mother's child too, so do not hesitate son. We are all friends of your late mother and father. Now Afifah is not alone, we are all family." said Mother Gisya while hugging Afifah.

Afifah is the second child of Bella and Kemal. Both of his parents were assaulted while living in Papua, and they were killed when Afifah was 10 years old. While in Palembang, Afifah lived with his older sister who is now married. Not wanting to continue to be troublesome, Afifah decided to take Internship in Bandung. It was the hometown of his father.

Mother Gisya is indeed soft-hearted, it is not wrong if she has friends who are always loyal beside her. On the other hand at this time, Alan, Alana, Cyra and Husain are enjoying the beautiful atmosphere in the Complex Park. There are artificial cliffs, until the water falls like a waterfall.

"What can our friendship be like the friendship of Oma and Mother?" lirih Cyra while staring at the beautiful waterfall.

"Pastime! We will continue their friendship until our grandchildren!" alan answered while hugging Cyra's shoulder.

"We'll stay friends, Cyra. Until whenever." said Alana smiled.

"But why are you going to join Grandma?" it was Lirih Cyra who made Husain flinch.

Alana hugs Cyra very tightly, Alana is very fond of Cyra.

"Cuman until college I finished, I want to succeed rich Mother. I want to have my own boutique, after that I come back here again" said Alana who made Alan and Husain shocked. Because Alan also did not know about the decision of his twin.

"You mean ape? You said it was just Nengokin Grandma doang! There's no show you finish college there! How am I here? You don't think about me!" alan's annoyance at Alana.

"Ih! I said just a minute! Do not rest, Ummi and Baba agree!" alana's voice made Alan even more shocked.

"What's? Find this thing you're the same me!" alan left them. Cyra's after Alan, because he knows exactly how Alan is when he's angry.

"Is it because of Brother, you're gone?" husain looked at Alana.

"Don't be a brother! I just want to finish college there, keep coming back here to open my own boutique. It's my dream" replied Alana smiling.

"Are you sure this isn't all because of brother?" ask Husain again.

"Until now we'll be friends, Bang. I told you not to worry, ' said Alana patted Husain on the shoulder and walked away from Husain.

Husain chased after her, and hugged Alana from behind.

"Don't gini, Bang. Don't waste my efforts to heal and reorganize my heart without you. Brother will never understand how difficult and complicated the contents of my heart and the contents of my head at this time. Please, let me go. Let me live this time without your shadow, Bang" said Alana to make Husain turn over Alana's body.

Slowly, Husain kissed Alana gently on the forehead and fused the two eyebrows together.

"Let God decide our path, Alana. I'm sorry for the injury I've inflicted, but this time I beg you. Don't lose my name in your heart. Follow your heart, never force yourself if you are not able to." said Husain.
