The Energy Of Love 2
Missed Togetherness


"In this house so there are those who feel less, yes, ma'am," said Fatih.


"Yes, Sir. For a few days they were not here. I miss our three grandchildren" said Ratih.


"Bryan also miss Fira, Zayn, Zema and Alira. Usually there are people if there are them. Usually Bryan after work bring Zayn and Zema's favorite cake. Now the two nieces are not here" Bryan said.


"Yes, Ressa also misses Zayn and Zema. If there's no one, who would play?" said Ressa.


"Although playing with two nephews is troublesome, but it turns out to be missed," said Nina.


The Fatih family relaxes in the living room while watching television. There is nothing more exciting than the crowds of Zayn, Zema and Alira. This house practically became silent without the ravings of the three adorable children. All this time they were always together, now some of their families are in the Lee family home. It feels like there is missing this Fatih family complement.


In the midst of the Fatih family's heartbreak. Suddenly Bryan's device rang on the table. Bryan suddenly looked at the screen. Tonight is their longing to be healed. Because there's an incoming call from Fira.


"Long live, sir, Mom. Brother Fira called," exclaimed Bryan.


"Hurry up and pick up the phone, Bry," said Ratih with a sparkle.


Bryan rushes to pick up the phone from Fira. Then he said, "Assalamu'alaikum Brother Fira."


"Wa'alaikumsalam Bryan's. How's the family doing there?" said Fira.


"Well, sister, we just talked about Kak Fira, Zayn, Zema and Alira. We miss you guys. Thank God we are healthy and well" Bryan said.


"Here, I want to talk to your brother," said Ratih.


"Sister, I want to talk" Bryan told Fira. Then Bryan handed the device to Ratih. Not forgetting he hardened the volume of calls so that everyone could hear Fira's chat.


"Assalamu'alaikum Nduk" said Ratih to his eldest daughter.


"Wa'alaikumsalam Mother's. How are you, Mothers? Fira also misses you there," said Fira.


"Alhamdulillah Fathers healthy. We miss you too. Usually this house is very crowded with cute children. This house is now a home. Hollow without the chatter of Mother's grandchildren," said Ratih.


"That's exactly why now Fira wants some good news for you."


"What news, Nduk?"


"Alhamdulillah, Henry has bought a new house in Tembalang Housing. So, Mothers can be close to grandchildren. We are still neighbors with Mothers. You'll be close to the schools of Zayn, Zema and Alira."


"Alhamdulillah" they said simultaneously.


"God, tomorrow we go to the new house. Clean the new house there."


"Yes, Nduk, later Mother, Father, Bryan, Ressa and Nina also helped there, yes."


"Mothers and Sisters are healthy always, yes. Then Fira wants to pack things first. See you tomorrow, Mom."


"The spirit, yes, is packing his things. Here too we are the spirit of you moving to a new home. You, Henry and the kids take care of your health, too."


"Good, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum."


"Wa'alaikumsalam."


The conversation between Fira and Ratih over the phone ended. The wire was then handed over to Bryan. The atmosphere of the house that had been quiet, immediately became quiet because of hearing the good news from Fira. Train yourself to get up from her seat. He had an idea to give something to his three grandchildren.


"Bryan, take Mom to Afal Mart yuk. I want to buy a snack for Zayn, Zema and Alira. Yes, cakes, ice cream and their favorite snacks" said Ratih.


"Well, it's been a night like this, ma'am," Bryan said.


"Still open. Wong Afal Mart is open twenty-four hours" said Ratih.


"Father follow. All of you want to buy atomic nuts and Trapinaka Slim," said Fatih.


"Ressa and Nina are also coming, Mom," said Ressa and Nina.


"Oh, this is one RT all along. Yeah, well, Bryan took the car keys first" Bryan said, laughing.


"Well, the Mothers go with Mas Bryan. Ressa and Nina are left at home, Mas. I am afraid" said Ressa.


"Yes, already, all on get ready there."

Bryan walked behind following his Mothers who were shopping for snacks at Afal Mart. This twenty-six year old man while enjoying the music using earphones. Her two sisters shopped in the beauty section.


The night is getting late but does not hinder the spirit of Ratih and Fatih to buy a favorite snack of his three grandchildren. He is both enthusiastic because tomorrow his three grandchildren will move to a new house.


By the time Bryan was in the toy section. He spreads the view. Bryan was interested in toy cars, balls and dolls. His mind was on his three nephews. Bryan decided to pick a good toy. He also wanted to give toys to his three nephews. For Bryan to make his nephew happy was his happiness too.


As a young uncle, Bryan knew well the favorite toys of his three nephews. Zayn, Zema and Alira were like children to him. Although Bryan is still single, but he once took care of his nephew. Especially when Fira is busy. Bryan missed taking Zayn and Zema for a walk wherever he wanted. He also invited his two nephews to play games on the device.


"Zayn likes cars, Zema likes balls and Alira girls definitely love Barbie dolls" Bryan said.


Fortunately, near the toy, there were several shopping baskets. Bryan then took a shopping cart to accommodate the toys he bought. He is not responsible for taking toys with good quality and the price is fantastic.


"You bought Zayn, Zema and Alira toys, yeah, Bry?" ratih. He was standing right behind Bryan.


"Bryan kangen pleases nephew, Mom. Tomorrow Bryan won't go to Temanggung first. Because Bryan wants to meet with three favorite nephews" said Bryan.


"But that's a toy that's expensive, Bry. Your money will run out again."


"Bryan believes that the sustenance has been arranged by God. If Bryan loves his niece, it's a blessing, Mom. Let's just say Bryan is learning to be a father to a nephew, hehehe."


Ratih was astonished while laughing at the words of his second son. "Dad? Wait, why are you suddenly talking to me? Are you ready to get married?"


"Bryan was twenty-six years old, Mom. A mature enough age to get married. There's no candidate yet, hehehe." Bryan scratched his head as it blushed.


"God, Allah will surely bring you to your soul."


"Yes, actually Bryan is interested in a girl. But, ma'am, there's no way this simple Bryan has a foreign girl's wife."


"Yes, there's a thing, Mom. She's from Canada, but it looks like the girl is non-Muslim. Just-Bryan seems to like her, Mom."


Ratih then shut up. He was surprised that his son was beginning to know the love of a girl. But unfortunately, Bryan likes girls who have different beliefs with him. Among the many toys arranged in each closet, the atmosphere is silent. It was fortunate that the people passing by there did not pay much attention to Bryan and Ratih.


"You're an adult. If you start to know love, you also need to control the heart. If he has a different belief than you, you should consider it yourself. If you really want you to match with a woman who is the same faith," explained Ratih.


"Mom knows for yourself, Bryan had the hardest time liking a girl. Why does his presence make Bryan so grounded? Not because of his looks, but he has his own charm. The girl had met Henry and Brother Fira as well" Bryan explained.


"Yes, you should ask Allah for guidance. You are performing the salat istikharah. What if he had met Henry and Fira? Do you want your two brothers to match you with that girl?"


"Yes, not really, Mom. But, Bryan wanted to know about her from Henry that way," said Bryan awkwardly, "Mom, is it wrong that Bryan prayed that the girl get guidance to convert?"


"We can't hurt to pray for others to get guidance. We ourselves want to get guidance. Because getting guidance is very valuable to the believer. It just depends on his intention. If one can become a true convert because of God and the will of his heart."


"Oh, yeah, Mom."


"Mom's happy that Bryan's starting to have a crush on a girl. But, if the affairs differ this belief, there must be a test and a hurdle. Not to mention dealing with her parents, plus she's from abroad. I know it would be contrary. So you'd better look carefully, before the love is too deep."


"Yes, Mom. Bryan tried to be istikharah only. Bryan's gonna go all right."


Ratih patted his son's shoulder and said, "Mom always prayed Bryan got a sholihah soul mate. Yes, I have, I want to find you first. From earlier he said looking for Trapinaka Slim."


Trainer left Bryan alone. Bryan slowly placed the shopping cart on the floor. The man in the dark blue jacket was instantly absent. His face that was still like a high school teenager was so sad. True said his mother, every parent would want his child to match with a believer. But Bryan's heart was already attracted to Anna.


If you think about fighting for love contrary to faith this will be difficult. Bryan also thought not necessarily Anna turned to like him. He began to feel inferior because he felt from simple circles. Bryan knew a figure like Anna must have the criteria of a dream man. It is far from his own criteria.


***


After being satisfied shopping at Afal Mart, Ratih, Fatih, Ressa and Nina carry their respective shopping bags. They rushed to the parking lot. Their faces looked cheerful, impatient to meet Zayn, Zema and Alira tomorrow.


But at the door of Afal Mart, in the middle of the traffic people who visit this supermarket, Bryan stood glued. The two round eyes of the longish tub were flat looking around. Bryan then looked down, he saw three large white plastic bags, of course containing children's toys. Then Bryan stepped slowly towards the parking lot.


Not yet arrived at the car park, from the pocket of his trousers rang the device. He had three plastic bags. Bryan quickly reached into the pocket of his pants, he took his Applephone device. Not playing Bryan pounding. On the screen there was an incoming call from Anna's phone number. Suddenly Bryan's hands tremble. It was awkward to pick up the phone from Anna.


"Hello, Anna," said Bryan.


"Good night, Bryan. Hello too. It's night in Indonesia, huh?" said Anna.


"Yes, it's night here. What about over there?" bryan.


"It's almost noon here. Oh, yeah, sorry, if I'm interrupting your time."


"Oh, no. Not at all disturbing. Can I help you?"


"I want to order your coffee again. But, it was sent directly to Canada through an expedition. I was in Toronto."


"Actually to order products abroad can not yet. But, specifically you, I'll work on it."


"I'll pay the postage whatever the cost. Because I have fallen in love with the variant of coffee flavor from you. My family and friends also love your coffee products."


"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. So, you want to order some coffee products from me?"


"Oh, okay. Later I will send orders for coffee products through iMessage only."


"Thank you, yes, because you've bought a lot of my coffee products."


"Because the taste of your coffee has a characteristic. Just like that first. I am also doing my job. Good bye, Bryan."


"Bye."


Both conversations ended. Two corners of Bryan's lips opened wide. The look on the face depicts the cheerfulness after getting a call from Anna. Not because Anna ordered a lot of coffee products, but because of Anna's soft voice, felt as a cure for Bryan's longing.


Bryan got excited tonight. Didn't expect Anna to contact him, even if she was ordering coffee products. His heart felt cold like a flower watered with clear water. His steps are like a child who is excited to get a special gift.


"Getting a call from her, my heart felt at ease. Am I really in love with Anna?" bryan said, "O Allah, forgive me if you love a girl who has a different faith than you. O God, is there a miracle if Anna's heart is touched? Show me to the servant, if Anna is a servant or not? Whatever the clue may be, may the servant embrace the truth." Bryan snorted, feeling the pilings of the heart. Even though she is in love, she is still aware of the truth.


Bryan walks while kicking a love song. He held three plastic bags full of enthusiasm. But without realizing it, some children play firecrackers in the middle of an empty parking lot. One of them was throwing firecrackers at Bryan. The sound of the firecracker made Bryan gasp to jump. The children laughed heartily at the talkative Bryan, surprised by the sound of firecrackers.


"Woi, sopo kui's son? Brazen, dolan firecracker udu ning kene!" hardik Bryan until his eyes glanced at the children. (Woi, whose son is that? Brazen, firecracker toys are not here!)


"Sorry, Mom, sorry. We didn't see Mas there" said the boys, most of whom fled, but they still laughed out loud.


"Oh, son of a sontoloyo! Apologize even to the parents. Today's kids don't have the same old posts."


Bryan took his jacket for a moment. He returned the three plastic bags. Her legs rushed into her car.


Bryan got in the car. His whole family looked at him in wonder. Bryan was immediately mistaken before his family. Fira's younger brother cleared his throat so he could shake off his misbehavior. Careful he sat in the front seat. Named after a gas car, Bryan began to run cars down the street.


"So who did you call?" ask Fatih.


"Emm, buddy, sir. He ordered Bryan's coffee products. Thank God, there are only provisions," replied Bryan.


"Here he is, huh?" kelakar Ratih seduces his son.


"Eh, Mother, so embarrassed, hehehe," said Bryan then scratching his nape.


"Who is he, to, Mom?" ask Fatih.


"There is, sir. Our children have started to fall in love" replied Ratih.


"Yes, nothing, to, Mom. Bryan is also mature. Like you used to be, marry the same mother your age, Bry," said Fatih.


"Bryan wants istikharah first, sir. Yes, like Brother Fira that, let there be stability of heart," said Bryan.


"Well, that's good. You have much to learn from your Fathers and Sisters. We already have experience about romance, hahaha," as far as Fatih.


Train your head while laughing. "Oh, that's opo, to, sir?"


"It is possible, these Moms, hehehe," said Bryan increasingly misbehaved. He focused on looking at the road and driving a car while thinking, "maybe not, yes, Anna is my life companion? Ah, I don't know. Why are my feelings so mixed up like this?"
