"Our meeting was very brief huh, Bi! whereas Anna Kangen wants to cook together, wants a story together, and many want Anna to ask her Aunt." Anna's cry broke out in the maid's arms, until it made the girl a hiccup. It was as if she was spilling sadness in those cries.
For a moment they embraced each other. Bi Imah gives spirit to the girl who now adheres to the same religion as her. Bi Imah stretched the embrace slowly. The tears that washed Anna's cheeks.
"Already, don't cry, Neng! the beauty will fade, youh!" After wiping away the tears on Anna's white cheeks, Bi Imah tidied up the hijab that Anna was wearing. "Patience, Yes Neng! the trials for Istiqomah and Neng worship are the same religion that is now embraced, so heavy. Aunty can only doain so that Neng Anna continues to be patient and impatient." Bi Imah stroked Anna's shoulder slowly.
The two stared at each other warmly. The relationship between the employer's child and the servant is not like the superior and subordinate. Anna used to tell each other and asked Bi Imah to teach her to teach her that Anna was at her home in Surabaya.
From Bi Imah, Anna learned a lot about Islam.
"Many istighfar and pray yes, Neng. This is God's way of elevating his people to the test He gives."
Anna nodded slowly. "Thank you, Bi! pray Anna and the family can get through all this misfortune."
"Sure, Neng. Aunt Pa Joko must always pray for you.
Anna turned to Mama Ami who was staring at the two of them.
The closeness of the maid and her child was never stopped. Mama Ami already considers Bi Imah and Pak Joko as family.
"Mah!" lirih Anna's. He walked up to Mama Ami and hugged her tightly. Again Anna's cry broke out in the arms of her mother.
"I'm sorry, Mom!" Anna took off a slow hug towards her mother. The girl immediately wiped her tears. Trying hard for her mom and dad.
"Mama's innocent, no need to apologize to Anna. Anna should be apologizing, not being able to help your burden all this time. But Anna promised after this, Anna's gonna try to make you happy." Sweet smile he forced Mama Ami to feel calm.
"Thank you, honey! you are the encouragement of Mama!"
" Mas Anwar will be here tomorrow, today there is an important agenda that he cannot leave!" said Aunt Melly who arrived from the side of the house after a few minutes to contact her husband, Om Anwar.
"Sorry, Mel. I've been troubling you" said Mama Ami.
"Don't talk like that, we're family. Nothing is bothered and troublesome" said Tente Melly. "Now we meet Reno and immediately bring the goods or what, Mi?" connect Aunt Melly.
"We first meet Anna's father.let the goods here first, but Bi Imah and Pak Joko let all of us come!" Mama Ami glanced towards Bi Imah and Pak Joko.
"Mom, actually we're fine living together at the store. My husband and I can help work there" said Bi Imah.
Mama Mai shook her head. "In a narrow shop, Bi! it's not that I don't want to be helped but it would be nice for Bibi and Mr. Joko to think about your future in the future. Looking at my family's current condition, it's like we can't afford to pay you." Mama Ami said something sad.
"But, Mom! it's okay if you don't pay us, you've been giving more to me and my family! We're worried about Ms. Ami and Mr. Reno." Joko sir spoke.
Mama Ami flicked her hand and nodded slowly while smiling as a code to Bi Imah and Pak Joko.
"I'm fine, Mr. Joko!" Mama Ami reassured me. " We're leaving now, not too late. Pity Bi Imah and Pak Joko, later in the back seat. Can't see the street view, can you, Bi?" Mama Ami glanced at the ignorant Bi Imah to melt the atmosphere.
Bi Imah smiled amusedly while bowed. "Mom, you know, if I'm very happy to sit near the driver. You can see the streets" said Bi Imah embarrassed.
Everyone laughed when they heard it. Laughter that melted the sad atmosphere this morning.
"Sir Joko, please be the driver first until the terminal! anna will replace him from there. Make it last time, sir?" said Anna sad.
"Neng Anna smile don't be sad, Father mah pray this is not the last. I hope the truth will be revealed soon. So if the situation is back like before, whenever you are ready to be a driver here again." said Mr. Joko.
"Auntie is ready to be a maid again. Don't look for anything else, Mom!" please Bi Imah.
...***...
Currently driving the car is Mr. Joko, Anna who is sitting in the middle bench looks busy with her cellphone. Last night he accidentally played his phone, once he turned on the phone. A series of messages appear when the phone is active. Calls from Abbas and Maira dominated the line-up of calls and messages for Anna.
"Yes, God, they must both be worried about me" said Anna.
The first person Anna sent was Abbas, as he had promised to inform the man upon arrival in Surabaya. But Anna forgot, upon arrival at home, Anna even got the news that made her more sad.
📩" Assalamu'alaikum, Brother. Sorry Anna forgot to tell you last night. Thank God Anna has arrived home safely. Today Anna is going to see Papa, wish Anna and the family all the best."
A message was sent to Abbas, but no sign of his message had been read. Anna thinks maybe Abbas is at work or on his way. The girl continued to write a message for her best friend Maira. But just a few words he wrote, the name of his best friend has appeared on the phone screen to make a call.
Anna immediately pressed the green button on her phone.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said Maira from across the phone.
"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied Anna quietly because she did not want to disturb others.
"An, why don't you tell me that you're going to Surabaya. Yesterday we also did not have time to meet at the graduation ceremony, I look for you there is no. Just .. I met Abbas, he said you have come home and plan to go back to Surabaya. What's the matter, An?" cecar Maira curious.
Because the two friends had planned a photo together after graduation. Everything must fail, even Anna did not have time to take pictures with her family. There are only two photos of memories at graduation, photos of both with Abbas.
Anna smiled bitterly at Maira's question.
"Sorry, don't tell you, Mai! Papa entered the hospital room and there was a little problem in Surabaya. Mama and I should go home soon. The next time I promise to tell you, I'm on my way to see Papa. Pray that all is well, Mai!" said Anna sad.
Maira heard Anna speech silent for a moment. He did not want to ask more clearly what it was like, because Maira knew there was a tone of sadness there. She was sure Anna would tell her that her heart had calmed down.
"Alright, An. Greetings to your Mama and Papa, congratulations to both of us for graduating and having a title behind our name" said Maira girang to make Anna smile to hear it. "Anna's spirit" Maira continued.
"Excite, Maira. Thank you, I hung up. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Getishalight."
The spirit of his best friend Maira made the girl smile. Anna fell silent again as she looked at the scene outside the window. It was not until he arrived at the city terminal.
