The Long Night of Amelia
Chapter 8: Introduction of Ayu and Mr. Darsim


The little girl was praying when the priest ended the congregational prayer with greetings. Amelia saw the little girl still with her face sitting right next to her. He looked at the girl's face carefully. The skin is mature yellowish. Her face was like most village girls, not pretty but quite pleasing to the eye. The little girl seemed to notice that the woman next to her was watching her. He looked at Amelia and smiled.


Ah, golden opportunity for Amelia to take her for a chat, thought Amelia.


"Little sister, can brother acquaintance ? what's your name ?" ask Amelia kindly.


"Ayundra, jack.. Whose sister ? reply the girl.


"Oohs...A beautiful and memorable name. Brother's name is Amelia. You go to school ?what class ? "my back.


"Taste 4th class at SD Pelangor deket here brother." he replied calmly. Ayu is a very polite and flexible person.Seeing from the way she talks and the way she answers any questions Amelia.


"The prayer here alone ?"askaku. Looked like I didn't know he was coming with the old man.


"No, brother Amel..Come here with me." Ayu replied while releasing and tidying up the face she was wearing.


"Oo...What's your father's name if you can tell ?" I am back to curious.


"Dad Ayu his name is Pak Darsim.. Ayu's father sometimes works to help clean the mosque here brother .." he replied smoothly.


"Oo..so.." I told him. Turns out the old man was named Mr. Darsim and he worked here as a janitor. Allah, I almost thought negatively about Ayu's father because of the incident earlier this afternoon, he told himself.


"Sir Ayu excuse me first ..kasian father will wait for Ayu too long.." Ayu disperse me who is half-dreaming thinking about today's events. He thrust his hand at me and I replied, until he kissed the back of my hand.


Very polite this child, said Amelia membatin.


"Thank you brother Amel for his praise.but Ayu so embarrassed.."he looked blushed.


I have also tidied up the mosque's door and hung back where the hangers are available. Then I took the child's hand and came out of the room covered with curtains.


In front of the terrace of the mosque Amelia saw the old man sitting on his back to them. Until he has not seen his presence and this girl.


"Dad.." said Ayu while patting the old man's shoulder. He looked back, smiling at his son.


and...


he looked surprised to see Amel. Amel did not forget to put up the same mimic. He pretended to be surprised to see the old man again.


"Loh...sister this..hmm...if you do not remember wrong...we met earlier in the park is not it ?" said this man to Amelia with a shocked face and a slightly frowned forehead. It was as if he was remembering something.


"Ii..iya, sir ..truly..I was surprised to meet the father here.." replied Amel with a look as if he did not know anything about it. Although actually, he did not expect to be able to meet again this old father here.


"I'll introduce you sir.My name is Amelia.." said Amel back while thrusting his hand.


"Oo..ii.iya ..i.mi Darsim nak.." replied the old man stammering with surprise. Didn't expect him to meet this girl back here.


Hmm..It just so happens.or is this part of God's plan on him huh?, said the old man deeply to himself.
