A melodious voice came from a room. Who else if not Hasan's voice, who was so melodious when a third of the night woke Khadijah.
"I think I'm too busy so I never again read the holy verses from you O Allah. The busyness of this world makes me blind to the hereafter."
Surah AL-Muzzamil has been sung by Hasan, Khadijah's twin brother, in a very melodious way. Until it made Khadijah step on her feet hypnotized to take ablution water to perform the tahajjud prayer.
An image of his father suddenly appeared in Hasan's mind while reciting Surah Yassin. He missed his father who went to work and came back only a name and memories.
Hasan never forgets a prayer for his father. For him, only prayer is a way to connect a longing that is so far away, after death makes him and his father have a different nature.
Ayass, is a father figure who is a role model for his two children. He has a timeless love with Rania who is his wife.
Ayass is a loyal man, even when he lost Rania, he persisted and took care of his heart, as well as his two children.
Ayass is willing to spend his time on his two children and the work he is responsible for. There is no more beautiful loyalty, even remarrying was not in his mind when he lost his wife.
Ayass's love is the role model for her two children. When Ayass left, life changed 360 degrees, because it was different if it wasn't a biological father, but an uncle who suddenly became a stepfather to replace Ayass' role.
Hasan and Khadijah let their mother Rania remarry, because only uncle Haqi was able to make her mother happy. And, being able to replace Ayass' role as their daddy, even though it doesn't taste the same.
Every day Hasan and Khadijah wished that it was a dream. They just want God to give them a chance to be happy together.
One thing they realized would not be possible, because it was clear that the body was determined that according to the forensic results it was Ayass, their father.
At that time they were only fourteen years old when they were adults. Unfortunately, fate had turned their happiness into a scratch of pain.
Hasan's eyes were getting more and more heavy when he remembered his late father. Good memories together, even though his father likes to scold him sometimes.
Hasan began to remember a past at that time. He felt such a deep loss. His father's sudden departure because of an accident that happened just like that according to God's will.
Ten years ago before Ayass's departure, November 14, 2008 to be exact. That day was the happiness of Haqi's uncle who has now turned into a surrogate father for us, and a surrogate husband for our mother.
The engagement has been prepared, it's just a matter of waiting a few weeks to get married to Aunt Seina who is Ayass' cousin.
When the uncle and aunt's engagement was over, it turned out to be sad news for Hasan's family. At 19.00 we received news that the plane bound for Surabaya to Singapore exploded. Hasan's heart, pretended to be strong, because he didn't want to see his twin sister hurt more.
Rania was immediately shocked, even making her fall sick. Haqi hugged them both and asked them to perform ablution, then pray to be calm, and read Surah Yassin.
"Acan, why should father?"
At that time, Khadijah blamed the destiny outlined by God and thought that God was unfair in her life.
At that time, Khadijah, my sister, was still traumatized by the loss of her mother, because of being kidnapped by Uncle Adnan. In fact, it required us for twelve years without the role of the mother.
Mother was found again, when we were thirteen years old. During that time, life was only with father and uncle.
Sometimes we are entrusted to uncle, when uncle is busy with his duties as a professional surgeon. However, unfortunately none of us continues his father's profession.
Khadijah was busy with her dreams, while I was busy with Hasan's ambitions. It felt like both of us were not in line with my father's passion.
Uncle is Hasan's role model as a wushu athlete. Until now he always participated in several Olympics in Seoul, because the Olympics he came to meet his twin.
Hasan and Rania's marriage will never produce children or offspring. How could I not after the kidnapping, one of Rania's uterus had to be removed because it was damaged. All because of Adnan's obsession with kidnapping her, Rania almost lost her memory of her family.
Rania has temporary amnesia. Until she lost part of her memory. At that time Ayass was really very patient with Rania who was experiencing amnesia. After a year, Rania and her father's family life began to improve. Rania's memory began to recover until her two children received love and affection.
At that time, maybe God loved Hasan and Khadijah's family too much so that he tested them again. It feels possible under any circumstances or conditions to be grateful, and not to waste time.
"Acan, why did all this happen...."
Tears broke out as Hasan hugged Khadijah's twin brother, even though he had to pretend to be strong.
Two years after Ayass's departure, Rania started a life again by marrying Haqi. They looked very happy even the smile was clearly visible on Rania's face. The two children are also happy as long as their mother can smile like she used to. The children don't care about who becomes their father as long as they can provide happiness for their mother.
Khadijah is indeed closer to Haqi, she has also been used to Haqi from a long time ago. Yes, the smile began to appear again circled on his mother's face.
Haqi promised that at that time he would always take good care of Hasan and Khadijah's family. Meanwhile, Seina prefers to fight for her dream in Paris, France, as a designer who is quite famous for now.
