Women's Love Awareness
Chapter 8

When Mang Agus and Bi Herni came home. They did not suspect anything of Alinda. They certainly do not know that the beautiful girl they now consider as their own child was not in her room.

"Thank God, A. The tea is still tiasa ningali nu sae-sae, still tiasa ngadangu nu sae-sae. Pamugia Gusti Allah says it is still penduduh and pituturna ka urang sadaya," said Bi Herni while closing the door and locking it.

(Alhamdulillah yes, A. We still see the good, we can hear the good. May God continue to guide and help us all)

Mang Agus nodded with a smile, "Aamiin. Nu most important tea, pamugia Abah Haji and Bu Nyai, Ustadz terrace Destaqi and familyina sadayana tea is advised by the health department of supados tiasa still light in the village of urang ieu," he replied with hope.

(Aamiin. Most importantly, may Abah Haji with Bu Nyai, continue Ustadz Destaqi and his family all are given health in order to give light in our village.)

"Aamiin O Allah. He said mah Ustadz Destaqi tea would be the successor of Abah Haji Muhajir in leading his boarding school." Bi Herni said while taking off his hijab.

"Of course, Neng. Saha deui other than Ustadz Destaqi. Pan Aa Arafat and Teh Zahrani mah can tiasa panginteun, Neng. Oge pan Ustadz Destaqi mah son of cikalna atuh. So naturally bae pami became the successor of Abah Haji Muhajir," said Mang Agus seriously.

(Yes itumah sure, Neng. Who else but Ustadz Destaqi. Kan Aa Arafat same Teh Zahrani mah can not be possible, Neng. Ustadz Destaqi was his eldest son. So it is only natural to be the successor of Abah Haji Muhajir.)

Bi Herni mangosteen-beard sign understand. The two of them seemed to always be amazed at that big kiyai family. In addition to the alim ulama, also because the morality of Abah Haji Muhajir family is very good and so exemplifies good in society. In addition, Abah Haji Muhajir and Nyai Hajah Suranih are also very friendly, warm and good people in the village of Pikanya'ah.

"Si Alin's sleeping yet, huh? This was Neng Teh given rice besek with Umi," said Bi Herni as he moved from his seat and then stepped his feet into Alinda's room.

Tok tok!

Bi Herni started knocking on the door. He had no idea that Alinda was not in his room.

"Neng, have you slept yet?" bi Herni asked a little higher so that Alinda could hear his voice.

Silence, no sound in there. New time shows at eleven o'clock in the evening. Alinda is usually still literate watching Korean dramas or reading digital novels. But now, there was no sound and it made Bi Herni think that his nephew was asleep.

"I'm sleeping, A. There is no answer" Bi Herni said, looking at her husband.

"He's usually a hobby. Is it possible to be angry and sulk with Aa about Aa's speech earlier?" guess Mang Agus who looked a little anxious. Surely he would feel guilty if Alinda got angry and did not want to meet him just because of his words a few hours ago.

"That's her. If you are angry, it is natural. But, is it good for Neng to come in?" tanya Bi Herni asked for approval.

Mang Agus nodded, "Just try. Maybe he was lazy again. If so Aa entered the room only," he said, who then moved from his seat and then stepped his feet into the room.

Bi Herni nodded in understanding. Without a second thought, he opened the door to Alinda's room. He hoped that his nephew had not slept because he had brought rice from Nyai Hajah Suranih earlier.

The room lights were turned off by Alinda. It was deliberately done so that his aunt and uncle thought he was asleep.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim! Aliyein! Alin, where are you going, Alin?" peekik Bi Herni who began to panic and was shocked when he saw an empty room without occupants.

Of course at that moment his legs felt limp and tremble. She was so panicked that Alinda was not in her room.

"What's up, Neng?" Mang Agus who was just about to lay his body on the mattress looked shocked to hear his wife's screeches.

Bi Herni slumped to the floor. His legs were very limp and his chest now felt tight. He was afraid and worried for his nephew.

"clinic, A. Alin does not exist" said Bi Herni weakened.

"What's? Alin is not there!?" Mang Agus who was originally just standing in front of Alinda's room, now seemed to enter and monitor every corner. He was also shocked to hear his wife's words.

"Where is this, A. Neng was afraid of Alin why-why. He must be angry and did not accept the words of Aa or Neng. He may be hurt and rebellious that makes him run away from home" said Bi Herni with a trembling voice and cold sweat began to pour on his face.

Mang Agus stared intently at the open window of the room. Now he began to understand that Alinda had escaped through that window. "Quiet, yeah. He definitely did not dare to do anything. Aa will definitely find Alin until we meet," he said, calming his wife.

Bi Herni was crying in her husband's arms. Even the besek rice that was originally in his hands, now fell onto the tile floor and fell into an unheeded mess.

"Let's find it quickly, A. He's a poor orphan. We should have protected him. Neng will definitely regret and feel guilty for life if Alin up to some reason," said Bi Herni who now looks sobbing and so anxious at his nephew.

"Aa know. Aa will also regret it if it is true that she ran away and was angry because of Aa's words. If so, let's leave the house and find Alin until we meet. Do not let anyone else see it, because it will cause slander, suspicion and of course a very big problem later," said Mang Agus while rubbing his wife's head to calm him.

Bi Herni nodded. She wiped her tears and shut the window of Alinda's room. Then she returned to wearing her hijab, after which she went out with her husband. Do not forget to lock the door and bring a flashlight to light their way.

"Yes Allah, Alin. Where are you, Neng? Why get angry like this" muttered Bi Herni who was still claustrophobic for fear of losing her nephew.

The two of them continued to walk and search everywhere. Starting from the bushes, patrol posts, rivers, and every place they pass. However, the figure of Alinda still they have not met.

"It's night, A. Where the hell's he going? He should have fear" said Bi Herni who continued to circulate his gaze in all directions.
