Dara Manisku
Change within yourself

Dara asked Axel, “ how do you think I can stay here?”

“Why ask Axel, this is my apartment, and you can stay here until anytime". Ihsan answered Dara's question while carrying a tray containing three bowls of noodles.

“You are a woman, while Ihsan is a man, when you want to live together, it is not possible! So it's fairer that I stay here with Dara!”Axel objected if Dara lived in the apartment alone with Ihsan.

“Enak only.... indeed this is a contract!” Listen Axel, you don't think this is all for my benefit, Dara is too dangerous to stay out there without any friends accompanying”.  Ihsan explained the reason why Dara had to stay near Ihsan.

“My house can too, why should it be in your house! Dara.... Now you choose, stay at Ihsan house or my house ?” Axel niggling.

But Dara even fun to eat fried noodles and spiciness.

“Minum...Drink.huha ..huha...huha...

pedesss...!” Dara.

“ this..drink" Ihsan gives water to Dara. “ Axel, Dara can't stay with you! That's because .... you know why, I have to tell you again!” Ihsan told Axel.

“Why can't I stay with Axel ?” ask Dara in astonishment.

“ Yes why...what is the reason..what?” Axel was increasingly upset, until he forgot that what Ihsan meant was the workplace location Axel Cafe Hoki had often been spied on by Varel's husband Dara, then certainly Axel's house was also not safe.

“Better I eat his noodles.cape explained to you Xel!” Ihsan was upset because Axel did not understand either.

Ihsan also took his noodle bowl..” bismillah" said Ihsan.

“Wait!” can't do that.clear first! Don't switch the conversation!” Axel held Ihsan's new hand to bribe food into his mouth.

Dara saw that, directly put her fork on the table hard.

“Can't we eat quietly!” Axel!..already...we eat first!” Here's his spoon.ini his bowl ..eat!” Dara gave Axel a spoon and bowl of noodles.

Axel received it lazily, Dara glared, “eat!” come ...on eat!” Said Dara to Axel.

Axel finally ate despite being angry.

The atmosphere became very quiet, the three of them ate without any sound.

Ihsan finished eating first “ I want to pray maghrib, Axel come with me.we pray congregation in masjid”.

“Let's go" Axel replied in a lazy tone.

“Already come along, there's something I want to talk about!” Ihsan pulled Axel's arm and forced his way along.

“Eeeh ..eh..iya ..wait, just another sip!” Axel hurriedly ate his noodles which stayed one more spoonful.

“ do not long yaaa, quickly turn back" Dara waved her hand.

When Ihsan was in front of the door, Ihsan turned back to Dara, “You do not forget to pray maghrib as well, in that room I have called the prayer mat" Ihsan reminded Dara to pray.

Arriving at the mosque, Axel and Ihsan immediately berwudhu and participate in congregational prayers.

Shortly after finishing the prayer, Axel's face was not upset anymore. Ihsan patted Axel on the shoulder, “ Axel, did you forget how Dara's husband knew that Dara was in the hospital?”

“Hmmm.iya I understand, sorry..So I'm emotional, I know why you didn't let Dara stay with me, this is all for Dara's safety".

“Just relax, I also know why you didn't allow Dara to stay in my apartment, you're jealous, you're afraid I'm taking Dara from you, aren't you? Ihsan understood why Axel was emotional.

Hearing that Axel became embarrassed, “ is not so..I am not jealous ...We're just normal men, you know what I mean". Axel immediately stood up and walked out of the mosque.

Ihsan followed Axel from behind and followed.

Axel stopped his steps, “really mas Ihsan?” axel was happy.

“Iya......!” Ihsan answered with certainty. Axel also looks relieved to hear Ihsan's answer. “ well then, please take care of Dara well mas", Axel shook Ihsan's hand with both hands.

“ Hehehe... InsyaAllah ..for sure I will take care of Dara”. Ihsan smiled.

Dara just finished the maghrib prayer, but Dara did not immediately rise from her prayer, Dara prayed, “ Oh Allah thank you for everything, Thank you for sending Ihsan, Axel and Bu Leni in my life, Ihsan said, O Allah please keep me from all dangers, far away I am from Varel who has hurt me so much.please.

Dara prayed until she shed tears, and prostrated again.In her prostration Dara cried bitterly, she remembered all her dark stories when she was a nightclub singer.

Then Dara rose from her prostration and prayed again, “ Forgive me yaaa Robb.... My self is very dirty.full of Sin.forgive me yes Robb...Aami..

Dara covered her face with both her hands , her tears were still flowing, at that moment she was reminded of her mama, “ I'm sorry mama..forgive me ..”.

Ihsan and Axel had arrived at the apartment since, they had overheard Dara praying from behind the door.

 Axel could not see Dara crying, his tears also dripped,

“ what suffering you have gone through Dara, until you are so sad like that" whispered Axel's heart.

Ihsan lowered his head, feeling how many wounds Dara had received so far. “May God grant all your prayers Dara, aamiin" said Ihsan slowly.

“I go home mas, I tipped Dara, occasionally I will come to see Dara" Axel say goodbye while wearing his leather jacket.

“Iya...be careful on the road..fii amanillah" Ihsan waved his hand, then Ihsan remembered something, "Oh yes .if you want to come here looking at Dara, then Ihsan said, make sure that no one is following you Xel!” Ihsan whispered closer and asked Axel to be careful if he wanted to go to his apartment.

“Where are you going Axel?” Dara came out of the room while wiping her tears.

“I go home first yes, you stay here, don't go anywhere okay ! If there is anything to say Ihsan mas or you can call me anytime, yes!”  appointment ?” Axel told Dara.

“Iya.. You don't worry, I will call you, we will be friends" Dara replied with a smile.

“OK I said goodbye, by ..” Axel walked towards the door. “Assalama...Axel...pronounce Assalamualaikum!” Remind Axel.

“Oh yes... Assalamualaikum all!” Axel left while giving his regards.

“Wa’alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh !” Dara and Ihsan returned Axel's greetings together.

“So tomorrow is my first fast yaaa?” Dara asked Ihsan with a feeling of pleasure.

“ Very true, on this new day in your life ..in the beginning with the sound of the Adhan Isya sign we will immediately pray" Ihsan again took his skull and walked towards the door.

“Eh wait for me to join dong, all tarawih!” Dara hurriedly took her prayer mat and caught up with Ihsan.

Elsewhere Varel is hiding behind a closed shop, hiding from villagers who have been chasing him, because the captives stalked the boarding house where Bu Leni lives.

“Job...mad tuh everyone... good luck run I fast!” where else is Dara, I cheated! Beware of Dara I can definitely dapetin lo!” Varel spoke with a gasp of breath and then his phone rang.

“Haduh...from boss again!” what do I have to say?” it turns out that the one who called Varel was the nightclub boss of the Tiger Gang chairman.

“Mana Dara?” you said.you already know where Dara is!” The boss did not mince words, he immediately asked Dara whereabouts to Varel.

“remember..time you only stay one more day, your life is in my hands!” Tomorrow afternoon you have to bring Dara, I wait in the usual place, understand!” With a heavy voice the Boss threatened Varel.

“Each Boss, don't worry tomorrow afternoon I will bring Dara..don't worry Boss!” Varel replied in a trembling voice, then the phone was immediately cut off, “hallo ..hallo.!”

 “Aaaaahhh...fuck...aaahhh! I have to succeed Dara tonight too!” Varel shouted in annoyance.

What will Varel do to get Dara back? Is Dara able to avoid Varel again this time?
