"Share Love" 1 Heart 2 Ayesha

Chapter 20

Humairah returned to his regular activities on campus, there are no more courses in the final semester but only focus on thesis assignments and completed his internship seminars last month.

Meeting Lola and Aji was already rare because each busy in completing thesis tasks that take up more personal time, the schedule of consuls and different supervisors became the reason they rarely talk, he said, moreover, Humairah is still wrestling piano lessons that became his favorite lately.

Pinching a bag of thick books for him to return to his campus library, Humairah passed through the corridor leading to it. He also accidentally had to pass through a room that became the campus's BEM secretariat.

His steps stopped when it coincided with Rasya who had just come out of there with a woman who was also a fellow member of BEM.

"Madith..."

"Oh, Rasya.." replied Humairah quite stunned, they had not met for a long time.

"How are you?" asked Rasya who was also dumbfounded and looked awkward.

"Alhamdulillah, I'm good." Humairah answered briefly.

"No, you don't seem okay. I doubt it" said Rasya, whose eyes were fixed on Humairah.

"Don't like to guess, come on. I'm going through."

"Mkkk.... You're good at hiding something Mairah I know that well. I can guess, is your relationship with your husband not good?"

Humairah was caught off guard, he did not answer but immediately stepped away, but Rasya blocked his path.

"Rasya stop, don't be silly this college. I have no business with you anymore."

"I've been silent all this time doesn't mean I let you go Mairah, you think my love is that shallow? No dear, I even found out all about you after you got married, I know everything Mairah," Rasya said in a reassuring tone.

Humairah looked at Rasya with dislike, he knew what Rasya could not do all this time.

"We're no longer in a relationship, don't interfere in my domestic affairs!"

"Know Mairah, you're being played by two men at once. I know everything, even I know you visited only a few times after being a good honey. I didn't expect you to be this weak," Rasya said again.

Humairah was stunned, she did not expect that Rasya knew about her marriage to that extent.

"You will see, until that day comes if you can not survive, realize I am always faithful to wait for your servant, do not hesitate to return to me," said Rasya as he reached for the hand of Humairah.

Humairah brushed it off.

"I'm sorry Rasya I'm disappointed you cussed on me being a widow, I think you're meddling too much in my business. Move aside, I'm going through."

Humairah walked away.

"God!" humairah snapped as the man blocked his path again.

"I'm not done talking!"

"I have nothing to do with you, you better watch your new boyfriend's jealous look."

Rasya turned to the girl who was waiting for him with a confused look there, not far from them at the moment.

"He's not my girlfriend!" kilah Rasha's.

"I don't care" replied Humairah.

"But I care about you, all this time I've been reluctant to interfere with your apprenticeship, I'm so eager to talk to you Mairah, don't believe in two men like that, they're not worth loving much less being defended, they just equate you with stuff."

"Whatchu mean? Don't make it up to Rasya, I know you hurt me but not like this either, I beg you not to take care of my household anymore, we are nobody. I also hope you remember your thesis soon, do you want to be an immortal student? I might graduate first from you" Humairah said withholding resentment as she walked away from her ex-boyfriend.

Humairah walked into the forest, he walked alone, accustomed to himself.

Who would have thought that behind a forest there was a beautiful lake, a soothing view of the eyes, the water green ripples sounded as the wind greeted the water.

Humairah often come here, if he is tired of his college routine he will refresh his brain by breathing fresh air on the edge of this lake.

Just about to arrive, Humairah's eyes saw that someone else was there.

"Mas Daffa?"

The man turned his head, no doubt he was also surprised to meet Humairah there.

"Maha?"

Humairah walked over, "Mas Daffa knows this place too?"

Daffa nodded before replying, "Yes, I haven't been here in a long time, then you?" daffa asked wondering how he could meet the woman of his dreams today.

"I? Oh I've known this place for a long time, if I'm tired and need inspiration I come here often with my friends, I don't know I like this place, quiet but really meaningful even if only a breath is heard."

Humairah stood beside Daffa, her eyes looking at the lake water which calmed her heart from the annoyance of Rasya's words earlier this morning to her.

"I love silence, I don't know I feel so familiar with this place. I feel here enough to give me memories of my childhood even though I can't remember anything" Humairah said.

"Then Daffa? Of course, you have a reason to come here, right? Not everyone knows this place, the hidden paradise I called it."

Daffa looked at Humairah without blinking.

"Yes, I am the same as you, of course, have reasons and memories that can be remembered when tired of attacking my head like today. Alif and I have been here since childhood. There's a lot of memories here, there's one girl who's been lost here, the beginning where the three of us were friends, a sweet and funny kid, pretty like you."

Daffa smilingly looked at Humairah while imagining the face of the little girl imprinted in his heart to this day, Aliffun the same, although the girl was still very small but for two men who stepped on the age of baliqh it could already feel a strange feeling on their chest.

They both liked the little girl who was almost ten years under him, the girl was six years old, while Daffa and Alif were fifteen years old at that time they had attended the third grade of Junior High.

Daffa smiled to himself remembering it, especially at this moment while looking at Humairah.

"Missed?" ask Humairah wonder.

"Yes, that girl named Aisyah is just like you, I also wonder why I and Alif are always surrounded by a woman named Aisyah, our little Aisyah who disappeared without a trace, she said, since that day he never came here again, apparently Aisyah little has moved brought her parents do not know which city."

"We lost her, your husband got pretty smitten, when he planned to propose to her when we were grown, Alif liked your little Aisyah your husband said it was probably his first love, silly right? But I didn't deny, I felt the same way I liked that cute girl, just too bad she was too small for me to date back then."

Daffa began to tell stories while laughing softly, really he dissolved in the good memories of his time and Alif was in his teens at that time.

"Aisyah my best friend who became Alif's second wife is now also our friend since then, she moved to our school and met with me, she did like Alif since Junior High, she did like Alif since Junior High, so no wonder he can get Alif at this time because Alif was obsessed with every woman named Aisyah, even when Alif had also had another lover named Aisyah as well, oh my God, this is embarrassing for me to tell you."

"Know that Humairah me and Alif are as silly as dealing with a woman named Aisyah, I even asked my mother to name my sister Aisyah if she is a girl, but unfortunately my mother does not want to add another child, she said, fortunately, my younger brother Rasya, who is important, is at the end of his name" said Daffa at length, he chuckled to himself, remembering all that.

Without realizing it, Humairah was already holding her head beside him, the woman looked in pain on her head.

"Religion? You why?" ask Daffa worriedly.

"I.... L'm.... It hurts so bad," great-grandson Humairah stammered.

There were many shadows flying in his brain when he heard the story of the man beside him, the shadows that came alternately but were still faint to remember, memories after memories sprang up like flashlights that lived and died alternately, lived again and died again. The bright faces of one of those who became the past that disappeared from the memory of Humairah slowly appeared in a shadow that was ringing in his brain at this time.

Humairah increasingly stiffened, his head hurt amazingly, his tears flowed without him noticing.

"Maha?"

"Dad, don't leave me! Fathering.... Dad I'm scared, come get me, I'm lost. I don't know where this is, I'm afraid," Humairah said, unknowingly, he darted to the ground holding his head.

He was mulling something unclear, Daffa seemed anxious he repeatedly resuscitated the woman but in vain.

Until a cry was heard, Humairah again raved. "Sister Mayang, brother Mayang.don't leave me, I don't know this place. Pick me up, you can be confused looking for me, brother Mayang I'm afraid...."

Humairah wept bitterly, he closed his eyes, his body weakened until he fell again but this time he was unconscious.

Daffa grew anxious, he immediately held Humairah without thinking long he did not want anything to happen to the woman.
