POV Vina~

Today was the day Vina had been waiting for. Because today is the day he will graduate. He said he graduated from college.

Vina was still sitting in front of her makeup mirror. With a MUA dressing her up.

"You are beautiful, Vina" said the woman in her forties who was decorating her face.

Vina who heard it only smiled sweetly and occasionally nodded.

"why do you always use your hijab? even on this special day" she said again, while attaching small flower accessories on her hijab.

"Hm. my hijab is a crown. and my mother said, Muslim's woman should not lose their crown"

Vina explained very kindly to him who was not a Muslim. Although for years she lived in England and mingled with her friends who had various beliefs, she remained very friendly with her hijab. The education that his mother gave him as a child, is still firmly attached to his memory. And also, because he really misses his mother.

"Congratulation, China. I'm so proud of you"

Rudi hugged Vina and stroked her head gently, after Vina stopped running towards her.

"If it wasn't for God and Father's prayer, Vina wouldn't have gotten this 'Comloude'" Vina said from behind her father's shoulder.

There's water starting to wet Vina's cheeks. The water from the morning was as resistant as possible.

'Mom, it's because of Mom's prayer, too, right? Vina kangen, Mom. Vina kangen. Presumably, Vina was currently taking photos with Viona. Viona should be graduating today, right, ma'am ?' Inner Vina.

"Darling, Are you crying?" The father patted his shoulder softly.

"I miss Mom and Viona, Dad. Is Viona's graduation day too?"

The father just looked at him deeply. And wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

"It should be like that. We'll make sure as soon as possible"

"really? When will we go back to Indonesia?" Vina was very enthusiastic to hear his father's words.

"Maybe vacation this year"

"Thank you very much, Dad. I love you so much" Vina hugged her father tightly.

Vina berbading in a bed that is quite large. He felt his body was very tired, after a day at graduation. Downstream to there and here with his friends. Because perhaps, after this Vina would rarely meet them.

Vina's eyes stared at the night sky from the window of her room. Imagine his return to Indonesia. It might feel really fun.

'Viona. How are you, dear? Forgive the brother who never told you. Forgive my brother and father who did not have time to tell us about our departure.' He murmured inwardly, unconsciously clear circles came out from his beautiful eyes.

~Flashback On~

They have arrived in England. Vina moved her legs weakly. He was not strong, to just keep pace with his father who was in a hurry.

"Vina, come. Hurry up a little"

Vina pecked, stopped moving her legs. Looking at the back of his father who spoke without looking at him. Again, his tears were shed. Soon He will, but He will remain silent and not step.

"Why, baby? Did you walk too fast? " He wiped away the remnants of water in the corner of Vina's pretty swollen eyes, as she kept crying.

Rudi also took Vina's backpack. Then held her little child's hand.

They stopped at a restaurant. Because Vina didn't eat a bit on that plane.

"Vina, what are you looking for, son?" ask Rudi in wonder. Looking at Vina who seemed to be ruffling the contents of her backpack earlier.

"Dad, Vina's phone is not here" he said, starting to panic.

"really? Maybe Vina forgot to keep it." Said Rudi who started to approach towards Vina.

"No. Vina sure kept it here. Dad, what if the phone fell on the plane, or at the airport. "

"Come, let's find it first."

Several times the contents in Vina's backpack were removed. Niente. There's no cell phone there. Vina started crying. He was going to tell Viona about her disappearance.

There was nothing Vina and her father could do to tell Viona. Rudi has no Viona or Mirna number. Even with his relatives, He lived before he knew Mirna. Vina's lost phone carried all the numbers and messages sent by her beloved sister.

'Wait for me. I'll be right back, Vina.' He said before those eyes were completely closed.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Dear, open the door. It's dawn, let's pray. "

Said a man outside the room.

"Yes, Dad." Vina replied by opening her eyes slowly.

Tired last night made Vina not hear the sound of Adzan from her phone. They lived in an area where there was no mosque at all, so it was only the Adhan from the mobile phone and his father who woke up and became a reminder to pray.

Vina laid her body back on the prayer mat after the dawn prayer. Softly rubbing thick prayer beads. Usually, it is Vion who does this. Laying down on the prayer mat, and rubbing his fur until he fell asleep. Viona was always sleepy at dawn prayers, perhaps for a young child, it was too early to wake up.

Until after Rudi finished praying, he would hold Viona and put her to bed.

"Sister, wake. Let's have breakfast" Vina opened her eyes, probably distracted by the shaking by someone behind her.

"What time is it now? "

Ask in a lazy tone.

"It's seven in the morning, brother"

Vina did not respond, only remaining silent with her eyes rounded. He just realized who was behind him. Isn't there just him and Dad in this house?

Vina woke up from her sleep. And...

"Are you... "

"Yes, I'm Viona"

The woman cut off the question that Vina was about to ask.

"Are you Viona? Hix... Hix... "

Vina cried and covered her face with her hands.

"Hey, I've already. I'm right here"

"But why, why is your face so glare. I can't see your face, Viona."

The woman in front of Vina just laughed a little, not answering her question.

"Take me, Viona. Why face... "

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Darling, did you sleep again after the dawn prayer? "

Vina opened her eyes, and rushed up from her sleep.

He looked around, checking if Viona was here.

"Vina, are you okay, son? "

Vina walked open the door.

"Dad, did anyone come in here? "

"Are you asking while you're asleep to Dad, son? "

"Dad, I'm serious" he stomped his legs off.

"Haha. Yes, I'm sorry, Dad. Of course there's nobody. Even waking you up, I'll have to wait a few minutes until the door opens. Take a shower, I've prepared breakfast."

Rudi left Vina who was still sculpting in front of the room door.

"So, was it just a dream? " said lirih.
