"Never thought that a hard heart and not caring about this love could be melted by you, my heart that was once cold by the attention of a woman can now smile. I must tell you that there is another love that first settled in my heart and that became one of the reasons why all this time I closed my heart to another love. But somehow you are different, at first we do not know each other and never greet each other but like there is communication between the same feelings between us." Say Word in your heart while smiling at the screen of his phone.
For a few days, Firman had never met Fina. He intended to contact her but did not know what to say by the Word. There was no longer any reason for him to meet, to say longing was very heavy even if only in a typing.
In a different place Fina also felt the same way, there was longing yet indescribable.
"At first I wasn't sure how I felt since we were together, I felt like there was something different in my heart. At first I wasn't sure if this was love, but as the day went on I began to convince myself that this was love, I'm starting to miss you and my longing for Nana is making me always want to meet and always be with you." Said Fina who was also staring at her phone screen.
They miss each other, but no one wants to start saying misses. Fina hopes that if the name Firman appears on the screen of her phone and vice versa. Until a few minutes passed at last Word gave up and began to type a line of sentences. A few minutes passed, some sentences that want to be sent are always deleted and then typed again and again.
Fina couldn't wait for long she also typed a few sentences but after selecting a few sentences, she sent a word that read "Assalamualaikum, Brother is busy?"
Word's eyes that were on the phone screen suddenly read Fina's name and it was a short message from Fina. The Word read it, smiling he replied to the message.
"Not so busy, how's Fina doing? Where are you going?" Type Word.
"I'm busy with your thesis so there's no time to get out of the house." Reply Fina.
"If you can tell when you're testing the script?" Ask Word.
"Two days away, brother, pray well brother that the exam is smooth." Answer Fina.
"Yeah aamiin... You're busy tomorrow, aren't you?" Ask Word.
"Yes, tomorrow I'm busy preparing combat equipment for exams! Hehe..." Answer Fina.
While typing to reply to Fina's message, Fina suddenly sent back a message.
"If you have time tomorrow, I'd like to buy clothes to wear for exams."
Just now Firman wants to invite Fina but it turns out Fina who first invites.
"Okay, tomorrow afternoon I'll pick you up, but Nana can't come because she has to go to her grandmother's house after school." Reply Word.
"Yes, brother, I wait, hehehe.."
"OK on pretty!" Reply Word.
Finally they set a promise for tomorrow. Like a couple who are struck by romance, they occasionally smile while imagining the next day they meet.
The next day...
As usual, after work Firman picked Nana up at school and drove her to her grandmother's house. Meanwhile Fina had prepared and waited for Word to come to pick her up.
After delivering Nana, Firman headed to Fina's house. On the way he first called Fina to see if she was ready.
Shortly thereafter Firman reached the front hallway where Fina lived. Just now he wanted to call Fina but it turned out that he was waiting in front of the hallway. Word saw Fina looking so beautiful in a white vertical stripe dress with so soft pink stripes. The hijab he was wearing was also a soft pink color, very harmonious with the color of his clothes. Today Fina was also wearing such a soft pink skirt. It was so different from yesterday, today it was like there was a color of love in the atmosphere of the two of them.
"Fina you're beautiful." Said the Word staring at Fina from inside the car.
Without waiting for a long time Fina headed towards the car and opened the car door with a smile.
"Hi brother, sorry to bother ya." Cheerful Fina said.
Then they headed to a shop where women's clothing.
"Will the Word come inside? It's okay, brother." Take Fina.
"Well, I'm coming." Smiling, the Word came into the shop.
Like men in general, in a women's fashion store that is first sought by a man is a chair or a seat. Coincidentally there was an empty chair right in front of the changing room, Word headed there and sat staring at Fina who was looking for clothes.
Like most women, the initial plan was to buy clothes for the exam but in Fina's eyes were many colors and beautiful models, he wants to buy everything he likes, but what is the power of the contents of his wallet can not buy everything he likes. Fina was so excited though just to try on the clothes she liked. Fina picked up and wanted to try on some clothes, she then went inside the dressing room to try on some of them.
Fina tried to wear a robe outfit with a long hijab, she looked so calm with a blend of soft black and pink. He looked at himself with a smile hoping to have the clothes he was wearing. With a happy atmosphere he came out of the dressing room to show and ask for an opinion from the Word.
"Don't this fit?" Asked Fina who was slightly blushed.
At that time Firman was playing a game and staring at the screen of his phone. After hearing Fina's voice he turned his face towards Fina.
"She's so pretty and why is this beating of my heart beating faster than usual?" Say the Word in the heart.
"Hey... Tayoo! Sis!" Shouted Fina waving her hands and laughing towards the Word.
Word awakens then says, "Ehh, yes you fit in, you are beautiful in such a dress."
"Wait for me there's still one more." Then Fina turned towards the changing room and tried on the other one.
Shortly after he came out, this time he was wearing a soft green shirt and hijab or commonly called tosca mixed with gray fringe on the periphery of his clothes.
Fina blushed shyly turned to the dressing room to take off her clothes, she felt so happy despite not being able to have them. Finally all he bought was a white shirt and a black skirt.
After waiting in line at the cashier with Firman, he wanted to pay but Firman was surprised by what Fina wanted to pay for just one pair of clothes.
"Kok you just bought this one?" Ask Word.
"The only thing you want to take is this exam, right? The others have been lately." Answer Fina.
"Yes, you wait here." The word then goes towards one of the employees.
Fina didn't really care because she wanted to pay for her clothes. But soon the Word came.
"Have you paid?" Ask Word.
"Yes, sister, there's change, why Brother?"
"I'm paying for this too." Word that gives clothes to the cashier.
Fina looked at the clothes, the clothes she had just tried.
"Who? How do you buy women's clothes? Who's it for?" Ask Fina.
"Make Nana, but I think it's great, you like it? It makes you beautiful, if you like." The smile of the Word looked at Fina.
Fina could not express her joy. He never expected if he would have the shirt, let alone paid by a special person.
"Thank you, but this is it..." Not yet until Fina's words.
"It's okay, the important thing is that you like, just think of it as your fortune." The Word cuts Fina's word.
After all, they returned to the car and continued on a journey that was never planned.
"Sister, why would you buy this shirt for Fina?" Look at Fina who is leaning on the car seat.
"Whatever it is as long as you like why not? What good and beautiful people can't?" Tombal Firman's.
"Whatever is that?" Tanya Fina seduced.
"Yes, what do you want?" Word in a whispering voice.
"If for example I ask for something valuable in my brother's life, will you give it to me?" Fina challenging.
"Call it what? As long as it makes you happy and does no harm to us both please." Word calmly.
"Hm... If for example what I asked for was Nana? How's it?" Fina asked with a defiant expression.
The Word is not so surprised by such questions, there are always answers that make the Word can reply to answers from Fina.
"If there's a condition!" Shouted the Word while laughing a little.
"What terms?" Ask Fina.
"If you want to take Nana means that I also have to come, you also have to take me because we have one package, Will you not? Let alone us, the whole house can be yours." The word defies.
"I think I'm wrong, brother, hehehe... But..."
"But what? Ayo..." Tombal Firman's.
"But I haven't finished college yet, anyway I'm not Kak Firman's type, very far from all that Kak Hanifa has." Fina.
"If it is destined, let alone still college, many school children are married, I want something the same you, may?" Word looked at Fina once in a while.
"Ask what brother?" Fina was a little anxious and hoped that Firman would not ask questions about dating or feelings."
"Sometimes if Nana asks me about a mother, I mean if she wants me to find a companion, especially if she wants you to be her mother, do you want to?" Ask the Word a little embarrassed.
"That's not it if Nana wants to, I doubt that her father would, too? Do I have to live my life clapping one hand?" Reply Fina with a question that makes them seem to express feelings.
"Nana is the most valuable in my life, I don't want her to continue growing up without a mother, until now I haven't found anyone who can love her like a mother, and to me you are so deserving, after all I also like you, you are the first woman who can win my heart for several years after Hanifa's departure." Although embarrassed, but finally the Word had told Fina everything.
Hearing that made Fina both happy and moved.
"Do you someday want to be Nana's mother and be my life partner? Do I have to give you a ring and kneel before you to say yes?" Tombal Firman's.
"Hhh what the hell, brother! It is not our religious culture, it is not necessary to give me something or have to kneel, for me to hear the heart language from the lips of Brother Word is enough to make me say, Yes... I want!" Replied Fina who was slightly blushed in embarrassment.
That was the day when the Word and Fina spoke of the feelings they felt and after that day they drew near. Firman planned to marry Fina as well as Fina who hoped to become the Mother for Nana and the Wife of the Word.
