Mahabbah Longs
CHAPTER 4: The Morning Moment

He calmly ate ice cream on my lap. Every now and then give it to me, so it doesn't feel like ice cream is painting around our mouths.

"So, I'm funny."

"You're funny too, Nur."

Immediately I wiped his lips with tissue. afterwards sucked it on my lips as well.

"Sir Uya, want to go? " tanyanya spoiled.

"Yes, sweet sister."

"Nul has no friends anymore."

His words that are still piqued make me even more anxious.

"And there was Nadya's brother, Farhan's father and mother."

"But Nul must have missed Uya's sister."

"Sometimes sister will find Nur. And we can meet again."

"really?"

I'm nodding. And hold it in my arms.

Then he showed his little finger in front of me.

"Okay, sister Ulya promised."

I put my little finger on his finger and laughed.

"Sister it's time to go. Take good care of yourself and always learn to be smart. Later if it's smart will take you on a plane together."

"Why?"

"Surely."

I lifted her tiny body high, then placed it on my shoulder like a flying person. He enjoyed it cheerfully. And with laughter.

"Nur, Brother Ulya wants to go. That's me and ummi calling."

I saw her face dim again as she looked at me.

"Don't be sad, Nur, this is a gift for you."

I took out a necklace with a heart pendant from inside my pocket. And clothed. It looks beautiful after hanging on her neck.

"Nur, there's a picture of brother and Nur. So that Nur does not forget brother. And if Nur Kangen can see brother."

"Nul is very happy, Brother."

"Wear on."

"OK." sweet answer, before covering her face with the tip of her veil back.

I put him back in Farhan's arms before following Ummi and I stepped in.

"Da .. and ... Nur."

"Da .. da .. Uya's sister."

💎

Those memories are still too strong in my memory. The little girl who is now a girl. I don't know if I'm still in his mind. Or have been swept away.

I don't know ....

But let ....

As long as I can't heal myself, it's hard for me to see him.

Goodbye my little brother.

Either brother can see you .

Or the sister will be alone forever.

A black car stopped in front of the mosque.

From inside came a man, of medium stature and dashing approach Bahrul Ulya.

"Acasino'aikum ..."

"Wa'alaikum hail, Anas. Hard to find the location ?"

"Yes, Sir. Muters, where dark again."

"We're here first. Wait for the light, we're back."

"Yes, sir." He nodded

Anas passed from before Bahrul, looking for a warm place to lay down. Just resting. Let go of tiredness and sleepiness. It felt heavier approaching him. Soon, Anas was asleep in his dreams. Although it must be covered in cold air, before this dawn.

While Bahrul Ulya continued his merits to the Ruler of the Heart. Until dawn approaches. Some of the people who live around the mosque, have started to come.

One of them is the person who carries the key to the main room for prayer.

"Come Sir. Entry only. It's cold outside."

"Yes, Sir. Thank you." Thank you."

Bahrul accepted the person's invitation. Then, follow him into the prayer room.

It looks like the man is performing some prayers. And also do'a.

After that, sound the recorder type. The recitation of the holy verses of the Qur'an. Continued with tarkhim. To build people around the mosque in order to be able to perform the morning prayers in congregation.

Soon after one by one the residents came when the morning adhan was heard.

Bahrul awakens Anas who is still fast asleep.

"Hi bro's. Wake up. It's dawn."

Anas squirmed for a while, then got up and headed for the bathroom. Cleaning yourself as well as ablution to perform dawn prayers.

After performing the dawn prayer. Bahrul and Aris were about to leave the mosque, someone approached him. Looks like the one who holds the key to this mosque.

"Sorry, where are you from?"

"We are from Jakarta."

"And come here"

"From brother's house."

"Oh ..."

"Thank you, sir. It's allowed to stay here."

"It's okay."

"Come, sir."

"Acasino'aikum ..."

"Wa'alaikum salam ..."

After the dawn prayers, they left the mosque. The atmosphere is still very dark. The sun has not yet revealed its light. The dew fog still feels very cold touching this skin. Even the jacket that is used has not been able to dispel the cold. Make the hairs on this skin stand up.

"It's cold, Anas."

"Yes, sir."

"We'll get coffee first, yuk."

"That's right."

Bahrul just smiled looking at Anas, who was sitting behind the wheel.

Not long after we found a stall on the edge of the rice field.

Not many people have come. We may be the first buyer.

"Please, Sir."

"Coffee two, ma'am."

"Attent."

"While waiting, we enjoyed the fried banana that was in front of us. Still warm. Looks like he just got out of the frying pan.

Shortly our orders arrived. A cup of hot coffee, add our pleasure in enjoying this fried banana. Until it did not feel one plate of fried bananas available, eroded away by our actions. Which deliciously moves to the stomach.

When the sun starts to light, we continue our journey. But in this chest it is still heavy. There is a sense that has not been conveyed. It is my longing that may never be avenged. Or, don't want me to get a reply.

"Anas, let's go around, just for a second."

"Good, sir."

In my direction, Anas drove the car, back to Nur Aini's house. I want to see her one last time, before I leave this place.

"Oh, we stop here."

Anas follow my words. Stop this car on a lonely roadside. Where from that place, I can see Nur's house clearly. Unobstructed.

I saw the veiled girl come out. With his 2 adorable cute nephews. A little run ahead while laughing cheerfully. Apparently they want to go for a walk to enjoy the beautiful morning.

I don't want to miss this moment. I immediately took my camera and aimed. To get a picture of himself.

Like he was calling his nephew. But it didn't get any attention. So he had to run chasing to both.

But it's too hard to achieve both. Finally surrendered. Sitting quietly on a rock, on the edge of a field surrounded by small rivers as irrigation.

Apparently the clear water had seduced him. He came down to wash his face.

Ah .. I finally got your face, Nur. I'm sorry you had to take your picture in secret.

Not enough there. It turns out that in this country the carelessness of your soul is well-ordered. There are several spines from red flowers to white ones. Skillfully, you pick and collect on the grass.

Sorry, too beautiful to ignore. To take you in a photo. All those moments I've saved. When without me knowing 2 small creatures came suddenly approaching.
