Now, Fahreza broke up with his girlfriend. He did feel suffering and disappointed. It was awfully hurt and made a big injury on him. All his happiness completely ended and then he was only daydreaming in his narrow room along days. One afternoon, when he was only alone and silence, his mother, Karmila, came in out of the blue to his room and sit down beside him.

“Son, don’t let universe know how broken your heart is. She’s nothing but a past, so don’t let your past break neither your present nor ever your future.” She said with her delicate voice as caressing Fahreza’s hair. “But mom, she had been everything in me. We had been three years in couple and we have much gorgeous memory. So it all will be difficult to be disappeared.” He enunciated.

That afternoon was very sacred owing to the shine of sunset lighted up their simple-narrow house with a choir of bird melodiously singing outside. There was nothing stronger than mom and son’s relation. There were like a sun with it bright which was very difficult to be apart.

“Hi, two days from now is Eid al-Adha day. Are you fasting, sweetie?” she asked. “Yeah mom” “So, you can throw all of your problem for this day. Let’s help mommy in kitchen for our Iftar soon.” He nodded then they went to kitchen together. That day was closed by having Iftar together. It was a simple way to make happiness came back.

Two days later was Eid al-Adha day. It was a special day for all people especially for Fahreza and his mom. Though here were only both of them in their house, but it didn’t make the vibe felt minus. They were able to build such a beautiful atmosphere that the day seemed solemn.

“Happy Eid al-Adha Mubarak, Eja” she said. “Yeah mom, I am very sorry if I have much mistakes for you,” he said sincerely. “Without you say it, you will always be forgiven by me, because you never have mistakes. And now, only want to look you stop feeling sad. Do forget all of you problem yesterday. I am sure you will find her replacement soon. Go easy on her.” The mother suggested him. He only simpered.

“Assalamualaikum.” Suddenly some people said a greeting from outside. “Waalaikumsalam. Hey sweetie, look there, your uncle and your aunty are visiting us” she expressed joyfully. He only nodded and smiled then focused due to a beautiful girl with orchid-purple veil unexpectedly appeared among them and made his heart was beating fast. “Who is she?” He whispered to his mother. “She is Sabrina, your cousin. She is very beautiful and good girl. Go, greet her. She will be your next, maybe” She said slowly and it made him virtually froze and speechless. Finally, he could chase all over his sadness by means of his own cousin and now he found his new life, love and laugh.
