One by one the occupants of White Base began to leave the family room to go to their respective rooms.
Meera is seen still chatting with her Rasya brother who has just arrived because there is basketball practice since the afternoon.
" So when did you realize that there's a similar sense of Saga deck?" Rasya asked from heart to heart to his beloved cousin.
Rasya was so shocked when he got word from his father, Adnan, that tonight they gathered at White base to discuss the engagement of Saga Meera. During this time the only son Adnan and Hana won school in Singapore, because they did live there.
" Meera felt, the feeling was there for a very long time, but Meera hesitated to admit it all this time" Meera replied with a reddened face and shy cat.
" Ha.ha.your blanket.." Rasya was so anxious to see the reaction of his adek, the hot pinch nestled in Meera's cheeks suddenly.
Saga who saw Rasya and Meera's interaction from her seat a little far away seemed to growled furiously.
Damn bang Rasya!!, how dare nyubit cheek Meera-ku...
Saga's eyes that kept stealing glances at the two made Papa Vino stare at her smile.
" Why?, are you jealous?" Ask papa Vino with her special ruckus.
" Em yes pa!!. Can you do that?, just play pinch-cubit! It hurts Meera's cheek.." Saga fuming.
" You want nyubit too?"
" Yes pah.pengen. But the consequences are severe!!" Complain Saga.
Now the gaze of his eyes was fixed on his thumb finger, thumb finger that had crossed the afternoon disrespectfully on Meera's lips.
" Consequences?" Papa Vino's question doesn't understand.
" Yes.., Saka says touching is not okay. It's zina she said.." Saga again.
" No, it's not Saka's word, but it is his religious rule. Thank God if you understand. Just ask, be patient and don't make mistakes like you and mom did.."
" Make papa and mama's mistakes an example of bad lessons that are not worth exemplifying. Papa often tells you to fortify yourself from acts that are close to adultery.."
" Pope please be patient, papa has already talked about your marriage as well. It all depends on Almeer.." Papa Vino said at length.
" Depending on Almeer means reward?" Saga asked confusedly.
" You were only able to get married after Almeer decided to marry Aivy after Aivy graduated from college.." Papa Vino replied firmly.
" Abaghfirullahalazim.., it will be a long reward, it could be until Saga grows gray!, Aivy just will enter SMU this year, continue to maximum college five years. Where is the shop that sells patience???, Saga needs to gather as much stock" Saga laid her head on the back of the sofa, while her arms covered her two closed eyes.
Again papa Vino only faintly saw the unrest of his son.
...***...
Saga stared at the ceiling of her room with her mouth tightly closed, the night was very late, but her eyes could not be closed either. Saka looked so soundly hugging a roll beside him.
Moments ago Aldo contacted him, his best friend said that tomorrow he asked for time to meet him. There's something serious that Aldo wants to tell her, and it's about Jasmin Aldo's sister.
During this time Saga was not blind, Saga knew very well the meaning of Jasmin's gaze on her. But, what do you want to say?, his heart is only Meera.
What will Aldo talk to me about?
Why I don't feel so good..
" Not slept yet?" Saka's hoarse voice woke him from the daydream.
" Not sleepy yet.." Sahut Saga's.
" So usually you will read to quickly get sleepy, Saka feels not sleepy the reason, but brother daydreams of problems.."
Saga turned his head, looking at Saka's clean and bright shady face. It does look different, the radiance to the sholehan of the person is clearly visible.
Actually, the two are similar, but Saka's face always seems to be beaming without burden, in contrast to Saga who currently looks to save the problem.
" Apparently in addition to the prospective ustadz, you also have other advantages Saka, you are a psychic kah?, why do you always guess exactly what happened to your brother..."
Saka chuckled amusedly, the little man of seven dozen was slowly sitting leaning against the headboard of the bed.
" What's so obvious?" Ask Saga in frustration.
" Yes so obvious, advice Saka anyway. Whatever your brother's problem, stir everything to the giver of life. Ask Him for help, ask Him for guidance, leave all the way out to Him.."
Saga was silent, right!!, all the words of the snot boy beside her were very true.
Sometimes Saga is embarrassed to admit it, it is true that he is older than Saka, but the maturity and solving solutions he has far below Saka.
" Hemm, you're right, Mr. Ustadz... And again you're always right. I admit, you are indeed my sister, but your brain exceeds my brother ha.ha.... But Saka, Saga's sister is just scared, you're precocious ha.ha.ha..."
" Ha.ha.ha..."
The two even laughed in the middle of the blind night, and their chatter continued until where when Saka had to perform his tahajud. And unexpectedly, it turns out Saga also followed her sister's steps.
...* ...
Before continuing to sleep again, Saga went down to take drinking water.
But when he reached the kitchen, Saga actually pegged in front of the stove. His eyes stared intently at the stove.
The flashback
"Astaghfirullah!!, means ka Saga's hands must be punished so as not to be used.."
" Punished?"
" Yes!!, boil your brother's hand for punishment.., so that Saga will always remember the consequences if he violates the rules!"
Boiled??
Shall??
" Papa just ask, be patient.and don't make mistakes like you and mom did before.."
" Make papa and mama's mistakes an example of bad lessons that are not worth exemplifying. Papa often tells you to fortify yourself from acts that are close to adultery.."
Flashback.
Saga closed his eyes for a moment, his hand now took the pot and filled it with water.
Techs.
Saga turned on the stove and started cooking the water. The young man stared for a while, his eyes staring at the panned water that began to bubble up in small increments, then grew bigger and boiling already.
Techs.
Shut down that stove. For a while Saga was back pecking, staring at the water that was still puffing the smoke and with closed eyes. Slowly but surely, Saga dipped her thumb into the water.
" Ugghhhhhh!!!"
Saga bit her lower lip strongly when the heat was so burning her thumb.
"Astaghfirullahalazim.forgiveness to Allah.." The crying held back Saga was so pitiful.
" What are you doing Saga!!" Rasya was shocked to see the thumb that was now red and blistered.
Rasya ran to pick up the P3K box that was always in the kitchen. Dolesinya thumbs hand with a special ointment burns.
" You are crazy!! You already know the hot water!!, why did you enter your finger there. Cosplay as Mr. Limbat you hahh!!, stupid diara!!" Even while grumbling, Rasya still treated the wound on Saga's thumb painstakingly.
" Thank you bang..."
Saga said....
" Saga just wanted to make coffee, but it looks like Saga is sleepy.so thumb Saga..." Saga's alibi was cut off by Rasya's jam.
" Hahh, already! Already!, sit there. Let brother make you coffee.."
