The Three Chosen
130. Take Iyaz
The departure of Iyaz to Egypt made all family members happy as well as sad. Happy because finally some of them have intelligence above average and go to Al Azhar University Egypt with a scholarship. Sad to have to be separated for a long time.
For the Faiq family, not meeting let alone gathering within three months was long enough. Moreover, Iyaz had to study for three to four years. Although there is a time off, it seems that Iyaz decided to stay there during his education.
“ Don't cry dong Bun. I'll go to study instead of going to war..” Iyaz's goda while tightening his arms.
“ You are mulingek mulu sih Yaz. Mother is sad because it must be far from you.” said Shera while wiping the tears that fell at the end of her eyes.
“ But this is not the first time Bun. This has happened for six years when I was with Izar in the pesantren. Mommy should be used to dong. Now even Mommy is better because she will not be alone, there is Izar who will nemenin Mommy so that Mommy is not lonely again.” Entertain Iyaz while kissing the mother's forehead with love.
Shera knew it was useless to cry because it would not change anything. The departure of Iyaz is the result of deliberation
the family. It would not be wise if he now blocked the steps of Iyaz to achieve his dream. Shera broke her embrace with a smile.
“ Mother knows Baby. Go away, Mother must be patient waiting for you to come home. Make Mother the same Father and family We are proud yes Son.” said Shera while rubbing the two cheeks of Iyaz gently and kiss the head of Iyaz deeply.
“ Insya Allah Bun..,” says Iyaz steady with a smile.
Later, Iyaz approached Farah and Erik. Hugging them alternately and listening to some brief tips from the oma and its opa. Iyaz seemed to nod his head in a sign of understanding.
Then Iyaz turned to Hanako, whose face was red and teary. Among all those who drove Iyaz, Hanako was the most likely to shed tears.
“ Cici, I go first yes for a while.” said Iyaz while hugging Hanako tightly.
“ Yes, be careful there yes Yaz...,” Hanako said.
“ Titip Izar ya Ci, please look out for him so as not to misstep..,” said Iyaz again.
“ Why Izar nitipin anyway, he's already big. Her eyes are too high she is the same as me. You should be the nitipin I'm the same he let him not usilin Me and want to take care of Me anytime..,” said Hanako objected.
Hearing Hanako's reply made Iyaz break her arms while laughing.
“ He will not want to do it Ci...,” said Iyaz in between his laughter to make Hanako crackle before continuing her speech.
“ Frequently tell ya Yaz. Don't date yet. Acquaintances can, close can be, dating don't. Watch out for the child of pregnant people..,” threatened Hanako while clenching her fists in front of the face of Iyaz.
“ By the way Ci, not very clear..,” said Iyaz was upset to replace Hanako who laughed.
Hanako was comforting because she did not know what to say to Iyaz. Although Ayaz
it looks annoyed to hear Hanako's remarks which he considers ‘ga important’.
Then Iyaz approached his twin who seemed to separate from their family. Iyaz knew that Izar felt sad because they had to part for a long time, something they had not done for eighteen years of their age.
“ Izar...,” call Iyaz while hugging Izar from behind.
Izar looked over with a smile. Although both of them seemed to be trying hard, but tears also fell on their faces.
“ Yes, be careful. Don't be naughty there..,” said Izar while turning his body and hugging Iyaz tightly.
“ Instead of the message it is more suitable for you Yes Zar. I've never been naughty, different from you.” said Iyaz while buried his face on Izar's shoulder.
“ That was it. Who knows if it is far from home and there is no Me who is concerned, you even become wild..,” joked Izar while laughing.
“ Insya Allah ga lah...,” sahut Iyaz fast to make Izar laugh.
Plaakk !.
“ Aaww..., pain Yaz !. How do I hit it..?!” Izar protested while holding his head which Iyaz had just hit.
“ Lagian if by the way set dong Zar. I'm going there to study not want to date let alone marry.!” say Iyaz lantang.
“ Oh God, Iyaaazz. Sensi is very much a person..” grumbled Izar while shaking.
her head.
“ Bodo highly...,” say Iyaz while waltzing away.
The interaction of the twins even makes all the family members who deliver also laugh. While the twins continue to argue as if dissatisfied with each other's answers. It continued like that until the time for Iyaz to leave also arrived. Again, Iyaz and Izar hugged each other tightly. Then they broke each other's arms with smiles.
“ See You Brother...,” said Iyaz with a hoarse voice and teary eyes.
“ See You ugly...,” Izar said while sticking out his tongue to make Iyaz clucked.
“ Ruined moment only usual..,” grumbled Iyaz while turning his body.
His father, Iyaz, went to Egypt to administer his education there. Ustadz Hamzah also joined
assisting Iyaz as a form of pesantren responsibility to students who receive scholarships.
Until the plane takes off leaving Soekarno Hatta airport, Shera still looks staring
the sky where the plane disappeared was as if he could still see Iyaz there. Tears still loomed clearly in his eyes. The sadness of having to part with one of his children made the discomfort in Shera's heart. He turned his head as Izar's arms hugged him tightly.
“ Udah yuk Bun. Iyaz has left daritadi..,” invite Izar.
“ In a moment yes Nak..,” pinta Shera with vibrating voice resisting crying.
“ Also Mommy said that. But it's been more than half an hour since the plane Iyaz took
off you Bun...,” Izar said as he glanced at the clock that was coiled around his wrist.
“ Time anyway..?” shera asked in disbelief.
“ Yes Mother Dear. If you want to ask questions with Cici or Oma..,” Izar said.
Shera turned to Hanako and her two in-laws in turn. He knew that what Izar said was true. Shera's face seemed to be blushing with shame that made Hanako and her two in-laws wait a long time.
“ Ok, We go home now yuk..” Shera said with a smile.
“ Thank God, we're finally home too. Ntar stopped by to buy a meal first, Bun. I'm really hungry...,” pinta Izar while embracing the mother's shoulder.
“ Yes Yes...,” says Shera while shuffling Izar's hair with anxiety.
Erik, Farah and Hanako are seen laughing at Izar's spoiled behavior. They understood that Izar was trying to comfort the mother who was sad because she was left by one of her children for a while.
