SCHNUCKY
AERYNA ZAHRA DATAU

Kamala just smiled at all the expressions of complaints and aggravation after all the time she managed to find the person she had been looking for for the past eight years.

After Arya ended her story, Kamala sighed and commented, "Maybe it is true that the three people, Arya, asked for it."

"Actually where?" hatch Arya with furrowed brows.

"However, judging from the actions Muzdalifah took on you. This proves that he still hasn't forgotten what you've done to him. The woman suffered a severe trauma" Kamala said.

Arya snorted and stood up then stepped towards the window and looked at the expanse of Gorontalo.

"My arrival was to re-establish a good relationship with her" Arya said. "Why doesn't he understand either?"

"Because the woman's feelings are very sensitive if she has been hurt before" Kamala replied. "Especially he saw your face and it reminded him of the bad memories of that school."

"But.." Arya protest turned to look at Kamala who was sitting casually on the sofa.

"For a week, let Muzdalifah weigh everything. Just say the words of the three men. A week later, come there and face it bravely." Kamala suggested.

Arya stepped closer to the sofa and sat down beside Kamala. "Aren't you going to accompany me?"

"I don't want to create awkwardness." Kamala replied subtly rejecting the man's request.

Arya nodded in the end. "Alright.. I'll follow your advice." he said.

...*****...

Arya while sitting while fiddling with some applications in her dress. The man is currently at Djalaluddin Airport, waiting for the arrival of his sister, Anya who is taking a two-week holiday towards the end of his studies at Siber Polytechnic and Sandi Negara (Poltek SSN) in Ciseeng, Indonesia, Bogors.

Anya took a day flight. On the flight he will probably arrive in two hours. Arya looks for a moment at the two time-pointing needles on the surface of her wrist watch.

Half an hour...

Arya again immersed herself in the activity of watching the shares of her company while trading on the Stock Exchange.

His activities paused when he heard the chant of the adhan marker ashar time. Arya sighed and rose up and stepped out of her place, looking for the location of the musholla to carry out the obligatory rituals in her religious sharia.

The building is quiet. Only Arya was there. The man doesn't care. After taking ablution water in the water reservoir, the man carried out his duty of exposing all his soul and body to the Most High Khalik.

Indeed, since haunted by guilt, when he graduated from that school and continued his education at the University of Ichsaan Gorontalo, majoring in Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering, he has changed his lifestyle to be religious even though he is not religious.

Arya who used to like foya-foya the most, since then more active in the organization even though he is not interested in being an activist proselytizing, but only to discipline himself to get closer to God alone.

Rudi's death, increasingly makes him stay away from his old habits. At least, the man began to walk his life as best he could.

The nightmare that haunted him, now rarely possessed his subsconsion territory. As Kamala proposed. He will give pause for the three men to convince Muzdalifah to accept his existence.

The Ashar prayer ritual had just been completed when the device was left nailed to the left of his pants vibrating. Arya rubbed her face with her palm and moved through her pocket to pull out a communication device and look at the screen of the device.

Realizing that the one who contacted him was Anya, the man called the number again. Shortly thereafter, a call was heard.

📲 "Yes, where's Ayunda?" arya asked without further ado and greetings.

📲 "Where, where.." Anya grumbled. "I'm already at the terminal, again waiting for you. Where are you?" his nag.

📲 "Sori, Friends are still in Musholla. Later soon there." replied Arya mention the term they used in childhood. "Ayunda just wait there. Friends soon follow."

Arya ended the cellular conversation and got up stepping away from Musholla.

...*****...

Anya, more fully named Aeryna Zahra Datu look handsome with his service uniform. As a Taruna in the SSN Police Department, he was required to look decent and authoritative.

The girl wore a khaki PDH, complete with a signboard and some attributes that added to her elegance as a Cadet at the school.

The girl sitting upright is her custom that has been going on for almost four years in semi-military style education and little more, Anya will take the state examination as a prerequisite for the end of her studies before finally being appointed as a state civil apparatus.

Shortly after from the crowd, Anya saw the approaching figure of Arya. The man then smiled as he stood before his younger sister.

"Sorry, you're late" he said softly.

"Yes." nagged Anya again while standing up and lifting the Carrier bag. "But it can be understood." he said then and then smiled widely.

"Your image has not changed at all" commented Arya, smiling.

"Only in front of dear Friends." said Anya. "If in front of senior, wuih, can mampus me if found to be this way."

"Come on... Papa and Mama are waiting at home." asked Arya.

Both of them stepped out of the place. Arya observes Anya who steps casually holding the carrier bag.

"Not heavy?" ask Arya.

"No way. This is commonplace." Anya said casually and with a smile. "Effects every day carrying a backpack in every field practice. Just take this lightly."

Arya shook her head while smiling. "Yes, yes, too. Your body has also changed, more shaped." commented Arya again.

"Clearly." Anya said without looking at Arya then asked. "Self how is he? Mama said on the phone that I already have a future wife." the girl then looked at her brother. "Know dong to Anya."

"Yes... later, my friend introduced to Ayunda." replied Arya with a patient smile.

They arrived outside the airport and stepped towards the black All New Avanza parked in the parking lot. Arya then opened the back door while Anya crammed the carrier bag there. The man closed the back door again and opened the front door and sat at the wheel while Anya sat in front, beside Arya.

The black All New Avanza then moved away from the Djalaluddin Airport area and drove down the road to the north.

"What are you majoring in there?" ask Arya.

"Cryptographic Engineering." Anya replied.

"What good is it?" Aryan fishing line.

"Cryptography is a technique of protecting information in secret by using certain codes" Anya said. "Later on, I'll be a state civil apparatus for cryptographic analysis."

"A cryptographic analyst?" arya muttered while continuing to drive the vehicle and keep an eye on the traffic.

Anya nodded while still staring at the highway. Arya sighed. "Aren't there colleges that also have cybersecurity and cryptography majors?"

Anya smiled. "Yes too."

After that, the two just enjoyed the trip until the vehicle entered the Gorontalo city area. []
