The Story of the Sky

The Story of the Sky
Between the Two Rasa


After the arrival of the magrib time, and the government has officially announced that the night is 1 Shawwal. Immediately the echoes of takbir were heard from the loudspeakers of mosques everywhere. Haru is very heart touching for those who have successfully completed the exam during Ramadan. Sometimes they don't know, they have to be sad or happy.


Eid night, it always brings a very different impression. Although every day the voices of Maghrib and Adhan are always heard, but that afternoon felt different. Bedug and Adhan Maghrib that afternoon, sounded like the sound of a victory drum from soldiers returning from the battlefield. So that the excitement is radiated everywhere. In fact, the joy is not only for those who are truly able to complete the obligations during this month, but also for those who fail and do not carry out their obligations.


That night was in the house of Mr. Shahroni.


'' Tiara, sit down for a while, father and mother want to talk said Mr. Syahroni who was sitting with his wife in the family room.


'' Yeah yeah, what's up?'' tiara asked after coming out of the room and sitting in front of her parents.


'' Tiara, you know it yourself. Whether true or not, Fadil will return even with someone else's body. You also know what he is not! Do you still love Fadil and want to stay with him?'' tanya Bu Lilis looked at Tiara.


Tiara nodded with confidence. For Tiara, he did not mind how Fadil would be present in whose body. Especially if according to Alan's story, Fadil will also occupy the body of Alan who is very similar to Fadil. It even looks so much more handsome.


'' Dad, mom. After all, Tiara's heart was already occupied by A Fadil. It was impossible for Tiara to turn to anyone else. So, until anytime Tiara will still love A Fadil bu!'' he said while looking down.


'' Dad, mom. Do you guys disagree with Tiara's choice?'' tanya Tiara was worried because of the question from her mother earlier.


'' No no no! it's not so Tiara. We don't agree with your choice. But.'' said Mr. Syahroni rather doubtful.


'' But what is it? Is the body of Alan kang to be used by A Fadil too bad?''


'' It's not!, it's not like that Tiara. We even felt that Alan's body was much better than Fadil's. And also, it looks like he's a rich kid.''


'' Then, why do father and mother seem to be less fond of Tiara being with him?''


'' Tiara, my father and mother didn't like it. But you know it yourself! if it looks like Alan is a rich man. Although later his body will belong to Fadil, but his body also belongs to the Alan family.''


'' That's why my mom and dad are worried. If later the family can not accept us who are just from this ordinary family, said Mr. Syahroni explained.


Hearing his father's words, now Tiara's heart also began to worry. Tiara who was ready and happy with the return of Fadil, although with the body of Alan, he also began to think about it.


'' But we don't know yet, how will their attitude towards us.'' said Tiara trying to strengthen his heart.


'' It also has a point Tiara, it's just that we also need to be on guard. For that Tiara, if you want, yesterday someone came to see us, and asked you for his son.''


Tiara did not answer. He couldn't imagine that he would be with someone else. But also can not imagine, if the Alan family did not want to accept him, because of different social status.


'' Who came yesterday?'' tanya Tiara was not excited.


'' Mr. Romli and his wife, for Yanto their only son.'' replied Mr. Shahroni.


Hearing Yanto's name, Tiara immediately showed an unhappy face. Although Yanto's face is quite decent, and his family is also quite distinguished, but Yanto's poor nature makes Tiara very disliked. Mr. Romli, who is a former member of the council, does have a lot of property. But it seemed, the treasures he possessed were also obtained from the wrong path.


'' Dad, mom, sorry Tiara won't. If you want to have her daughter-in-law, why not just for Yunita's sister? it's not that Brother Yunita also has no candidates!'' tiara refused the offer of her parents.


Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis looked at each other. Although there was a sense of concern in their hearts about how the Alan family would behave, they were also more worried about Tiara's condition, while they kept Tiara away from Fadil. Until finally, Syahroni and Bu Lilis can only surrender to accept whatever will happen next.


...----------------...


That morning, after performing the Ied prayer. Tiara who did not see the existence of Alan during the prayer in the mosque, and only saw Alfin and Zaenab's mother. And not seeing Alan's car parked in the house, he began to wonder in his heart. To get rid of her curiosity, Tiara, who was in her room, opened her phone to send a message to Alan. However, when he had just opened the WhatsApp app, a text message had entered.


'' Assalamualaikum mbak Tiara.'' a short message from Alan.


'' Wa'alaikumsalaam Wr.Wb.'' reply Tiara.


'' Minal 'Aidin wal Faidzin mbak, sorry to be born and inner.'' Alan's message back in.


'' Same with Kang.'' replied Tiara.


'' Sorry mbak, at this time I have not been able to visit the mbak house, because now I am in Baturaja accompanying my family who yesterday came from Jakarta.''


'' Yes kang, no papa.'' reply Tiara briefly.


'' God willing, tomorrow morning we will be there to visit his mother's house in Fadil, and I will introduce my family to the family mbak Tiara.''' said Alan through the message.


'' Titip greetings yes, for father and mother as well as others. Wassalamu'alaikum.'' Alan ended his short message.


'' God willing, I will tell you. Wa'alaikumsalaam says. Wr.Wb.'' reply Tiara on the message.


Hearing that Alan's family was coming to visit his house, Tiara was delighted. However, his heart suddenly thumped. He remembered what his father had said. Concern also began to appear in his heart. What will happen, the response of the Alan family to himself and his family. It is possible that they can accept their own situation, or vice versa.


'' O Allah, give me good things for tomorrow O Allah.'' Tiara murmured inwardly.


After sending a message with Alan, Tiara then made a call to Naila's number, as well as connecting it with Neng geulis' number. They chatted for quite a while. Mutual apologies, and also discuss plans when will be reunited at the boarding school.


In their conversation, Naila had told Neng geulis, that Tiara had now met the prince of her heart. So that Neng Geulis who is super excited when it comes to talking about the guy, he constantly asks Tiara to tell who and what the prince looks like his heart. So that Tiara was really troubled to answer the questions of Neng geulis, due to the messiness of Naila.


Not felt, time has arrived in the middle of the day. They finally ended their conversation, because they had to perform Dzuhur prayer. After performing the prayer, Tiara who since morning did not go anywhere, he with his parents and two brothers, went to visit their relatives. Since his return from the pesantren, and also with the death of Fadil last year, the young men who had always hoped to get the heart of Tiara, hoping on this day of Eid could approach him.


Although they also heard and knew, if there was anyone who was very similar to Fadil who had been living in Fadil's house for the past few days, they had not heard that Tiara had any connection with him. For this reason, from this morning, many young people came to visit there. But they should be a little disappointed. Because since this morning, Tiara still hasn't shown the trunk of her nose.


Yanto who a few days ago asked his parents to come to meet the Tiara family, he with hope, that afternoon came to Tiara's house to take Tiara for a walk. However, like everyone else, she had to feel disappointed that she could not meet Tiara and her family who were currently away. Because of his wish that had not been fulfilled, he then decided to come again the next day.


Until the afternoon, Tiara and everyone had just returned home. He immediately cleaned himself, after having had time to sweep the yard of his house that had begun to be filled with dry leaves. The weather has been pretty hot lately. Although it is still not a dry season, and also the rain is still often down, but because of the hot sun during the day is so stinging, many leaves are quickly yellowing and falling. In fact, rubber trees that usually once a year molt only during the dry season, have now even fallen many times.


Finished bathing and changing clothes, Tiara while waiting for magrib time, she sat around in the guest room, while opening her phone. Hope there's a message coming in and word from Alan. For some reason, he seemed impatient to wait for his change today, and soon found himself in the day tomorrow, the second day after Lebaran.
