Dark cloud

"Hallo mas Ihsan, we need to talk now!" Axel called Ihsan while whispering in a corner of the police station room. Axel told him what happened that afternoon.

"Where are you now?" Ask Ihsan. "I'm at the police station, meet me here, I wait!" Axel answered briefly.

"What else is this? yesterday Mrs Leni, now Axel !" Ihsan was worried about every incident that happened lately.

" Where are you going? Just got back from college and now you want to go again ?" Dara asked because she saw Ihsan take her backpack.

"Don't open the door for anyone Okay! I'm leaving first, there's something I need to do right, please help me with prayer, okay?" Ihsan said as if something very important had happened.

Dara immediately goosebumps and tears, "What's the matter? don't leave me. I'm afraid Ihsan !" Dara held onto the tip of Ihsan's shirt strongly, it seemed like Dara was very frightened.

"Listen.you must be strong.pray to Allah.and if I have not yet returned home, take the blue box in my room, put it on, and immediately go to this address, on the way don't talk to anyone, you understand?"...Dara.. You listen !" Ihsan tried to strengthen Dara's heart, she held tightly to both of Dara's shoulders.

Dara did not stop crying, she nodded her head, ' iii.iiiya.I heard".

"Please promise.you'll definitely be home safe!" promise Ihsan...promise?" Dara held onto Ihsan's two hands begging that Ihsan could return home safely immediately.

"God willing, I just want you to pray for me, and ... You can't give up!" Ihsan slowly let go of Dara's hand, and said goodbye,

" Dara Assalamualaikum!"

in the afternoon before Maghrib, Ihsan left accompanied by Dara's cry,

" Wa'alaikumus salam warahmatulli wabarakatuh".

The sound of the Adhan echoed throughout the region, by which time Axel and Ihsan had already met and chatted in the waiting room of the police station.

"Are you fasting today?" Ihsan asked Axel.

"Yes.i'm fasting". Then Axel stood up,

"we pray first, next to the mosque".This time Axel invites Ihsan to pray first.

"let's pray". Im impressed by the changes that had happened to Axel, he felt grateful.

" Basic man.at a time when I felt death was very near.I remember .. I have never returned the goodness of God to me". Axel walked while pouring out his heart to Ihsan.

" Thank God, that's great Xel, we can definitely get through this". Ihsan patted Axel on the shoulder and embraced him.

They both prayed together in the mosque very fervently', then they break their fast with rice boxes that have been provided in the mosque.

" we run our plan, you have Axel ready?" Ihsan asked Axel.

"Yes I'm ready!" this all has to end soon, I don't want a lifetime, Dara keeps on the run!" Axel answered with fiery eyes.

"Allahu akbar!" you brave young man Xel, don't worry, when we already know where the Tiger Gang's Nest is, I'll report it to the police straight away!" Ihsan gave a spirit to Axel.

"May God be with us!" Axel encouraged himself.

In the apartment at that time Dara had just finished praying maghrib,

"Oh Allah.protect my best friend.I don't want anything else...please congratulate us all from the injustice and from the evil..."

Dara prayed while prostrating. Along her prostration she cried, her tears wetting her alphabet.

He poured out all his worries to God, now Dara felt calmer after praying.

Dara also came out of the room, at that time his eyes looked at the dining table, on it was provided Ihsan food to break the fast, "Dara, even if you don't want to!"

Dara talks to herself, she eats crying, then her phone rings, "yes hello... Axel?" axel called.

"Dara ... What are you doing? have you broken your fast?" ask Axel gently.

" Axel... I broke my fast, what are you? have you met Ihsan?" Dara answered while wiping her tears.

" Alhamdulillah we both have broken the fast, the food is very good, roasted chicken sambal ijo, if you are Dara, open what?" Axel replied by melting the atmosphere so that Dara did not tense up.

"I opened the vegetables and fried chicken, in the same masakin Ihsan before he left". Answer Dara.

"I say yes.. pray for both of us, remember well the message mas Ihsan, I love you Dar, I just want you to know it". then Axel suddenly turned off his phone.

" Hello...Hello!" why is it turned off... Hello.hallloo!" Dara is surprised yet she replies to Axel's remarks but the conversation is suddenly interrupted.

then Dara called Ihsan,

" Dara for now Axel can not contact you first, be patient yes.later if everything is safe he must call you again, do not worry". Ihsan explained to Dara, what happened back then.

Dara's mobile phone is currently blocked by Axel and removed from his contact list, this is all for Dara's security. " I'm ready...!" Axel gave a sign to Ihsan who was sitting outside the cafe.

Ihsan nodded his head, a sign that Ihsan already understood Axel's intentions.

Now is the time for Cafe Hoki to close, Ihsan pretends to go away from the cafe, then Axel gets ready to close.

When Axel was locking the front gate of the Cafe, suddenly came a black Jeep car and out two people dressed all in black pulled Axel's body, clutching Axel's mouth, and put Axel into the jeep forcibly.

“Wuuuuzzzz..!”  The jeep was speeding at high speed. Ihsan immediately followed behind with a motor.

“Do not fight!” one of the Tiger gang's men spoke to Axel in a loud voice while tying Axel's hands, Axel's eyes were closed with a black cloth.

Axel's chest was beating very fast, he did not know where to take it by them, occasionally he tried to stretch his hand, but the bond was very strong.

“What do you want!... Where do I take?!” ask Axel while struggling. Then, “Bukk..!” her back neck was knocked unconscious. “Basic bring lo!” said one of the men.

Ihsan continued to follow from behind, apparently the jeep was heading towards the port. But Ihsan stopped following.

“wah... there is a guard, I can not go through it!” finally Ihsan turned around trying to find another way to the port.

It was almost midnight '', Dara in the apartment unceasingly prayed, then she remembered something.

“What is the content of the blue box Ihsan means?” Dara was curious and walked towards Ihsan's room.

This was the first time Dara had entered Ihsan's room. Dara opened the room door and turned on the light.

Dara was stunned, while looking around, so many books about Islam are well organized, there are some photos on display.

“Rapih really room". Dara didn't expect a man's room to absorb it.

“What is this...his family is Ihsan ?” thought Dara while looking at the photo of Ihsan along with an old father and a grandmother.

Then Dara looked around for where Ihsan put the blue Box.

“ hmmmm..there is a place, let's think Dara..!” Dara tried to guess where the blue box was.

“Naaaahh..eventually meet too!”

Dara picked up the blue box in the wardrobe and then sat down on Ihsan's bed.

“What is it?” Dara opened slowly.

“ What is this ..?” Dara saw two black fabrics which one is big size and one is medium size. “ how to use it?”

It turned out that the contents of the blue box were Niqob, a long cloth covering the entire head and that was visible only his eyes.

Dara remembered the business card Ihsan had given her before leaving.

Dara took out the business card from her shirt pocket,

“Al Ihsan”.

“ foundation Al Ihsan , East Java ?”  Dara read it, “tenpat what is this ?”

Then Dara again saw the box, there was a letter, Dara opened it.

“ Dara, sorry inner birth, may all our worship Charity be accepted by Allah SWT”. “Happy Eid fitri” “mark IHSAN AL GHIFARY”

Looks like this blue box should be a gift for Eid al-fitri Dara later. Dara was moved, “ basic..fasting is not yet finished..he has bought me a gift !” Dara said while shedding tears.  

In the port Axel is dragged out by Tiger's gang of men from a Jeep car, in a state of fainting.

While Ihsan was riding a motorcycle very quickly trying to find another way to the port.

What will happen to Axel?

Will Ihsan be able to catch up with Axel?
