A Hope Above the Wait

Meet

The next few days, Jasmine and Ria were in her class. At that time the two of them were talking about schoolwork and Jasmine's meeting with Ijaz. Not long after, there was a very handsome, handsome and alim-looking man approaching Jasmine and Ria. He is Firman, a student who just moved from out of town.

At that time Jasmine was seen still focused on her task while Ria was seen looking at the man without blinking an inch.

"Excuse me," Firman said courteously to Ria and Jasmine.

"Geez, you're so handsome!" ria replied spoiledly to the man she did not know yet.

"Thank you" replied the Word kindly and politely.

"You what the hell Ria is, it shouldn't be that kind of woman to a man!" sahut Jasmine firmly and annoyed to see Ria acting spoiled to the Word.

"No papa, I have no problem" replied the Word.

"For you, it doesn't matter!. But... For me, this is a problem, after all, you are good. Then why? Why is it that when a woman behaves like that you seem to be indifferent and are happier to see such an attitude?" jasmine said in an angry and resolute tone to the man.

"Sorry, it's not like that. I don't want to make you angry but I just want to be friends with you, because I don't have any friends here at all" replied the Word with a little sadness for making Jasmine angry and wrathful. He just looked down his head when he said that.

"There is no friendship between a woman and a man, I ask you to understand what I am saying!" jasmine replied increasingly resolutely with glaring eyes looking towards the Word.

Seeing that Jasmine was so angry with the man, Ria finally asked for Jasmine to calm down and not get angry anymore. He also asked the man to leave in front of him. He did it because he did not want their debate to get heated up. The Word finally chose to budge and leave, but when the Word went away from Jasmine and Ria. The Word seemed to smile at his own smile without unknown cause and effect.

When Firman was gone Jasmine looked very angry with Ria because she saw Ria's strange attitude when Word came to her class.

Time passed by so quickly, Jasmine and Ria were seen being on the road while telling about Jasmine's feelings to Ijaz. Things changed when some thugs approached them and pointed at them. At that time they tried to fight but because the thugs were sturdy and tall Jasmine finally chose to give her money rather than her life that floated.

When Jasmine reached out her hand, Word arrived and hit one of the thugs until they fell to the ground. Seeing that the friend of the thugs tried to attack the Word by attacking simultaneously. At that time Firman and some of the thugs were involved in a physical fight to make the Word almost overwhelmed. Seeing that Firman would lose and had been beaten several times by the thugs Jasmine and Ria began to seek help by shouting to and fro but at that time the situation there was quiet. As Jasmine and Ria were busy shouting for help, Jasmine saw a long wooden block located not far from her. Seeing that, Jasmine approached the beam and attacked the thugs with the wooden beams she met. After he attacked the thugs with a wooden block the thugs relented and left the three of them with the money he took back from Jasmine.

"Thank God, they're gone" said Jasmine, then she threw away the wooden block. After that he approached the Word and extended his hand to the Word. Word finally receives Jasmine's help even though he knows that Jasmine is not his muhrim.

Moments later, Firman is seen already standing before Jasmine by holding wounds on some areas of her face due to the blows from the thugs.

"Which part of it hurts?" jasmine asked the Word well.

"As everything is Jasmine!" sahut Ria by looking at bruises on some areas of the face of the Word.

"No papa, I'm fine. How'd you guys?" speak the Word well while occasionally groaning in pain.

"My house is close from here, come with me to the house, I'll treat!" pinta Jasmine's.

"No need, I'm not papa!" answer the Word politely.

Hearing that answer, Jasmine took a slow breath and let out her breath slowly. He then held one of the Word's hands tightly and withdrew himself. At that time Firman only looked at Jasmine who was holding her.

Moments later Jasmine, Ria and Firman are at home and she asks Firman to sit on the chair in Jasmine's house.

"It's not papa, tomorrow it will be healed. No need to be treated," said Firman when he saw Jasmine enter the house to take the medicine box.

"Calm down, not papa!" ria answered well and stood near the Word.

A little while later Jasmine came out with a medicine box, she then opened the medicine box and began to treat the Word. When Firman was treated by Jasmine he only looked at Jasmine, although sometimes he felt pain but the feeling was not felt by the Word because he saw Jasmine.

"It's over, it's over" Jasmine said kindly to the Word. At that time Firman looked unfocused he was really fixated on seeing Jasmine's beauty and the good attitude of Jasmine.

"Yes, thanks!."

"Em, thank you!" jasmine said with her head bowed before the Word.

Hearing that the Word looked confused.

"Thank you for what?" answer the Word and he stood up from his seat.

"To save me with Ria," Jasmine replied nicely.

"Yes, thank you too" said Ria.

"It's the same, I thank you too!."

Hearing that Jasmine only smiled a little at her aunt, after which Word said goodbye to leave Jasmine's house. As he was just stepping his feet one step Jasmine told Word her name gently. Hearing that, the Word spontaneously stopped his steps. He was seen sculpting for a while, after hearing Jasmine's name. When Jasmine had told the Word her name, Firman only returned the words with a smile then he mentioned his name after that he left Jasmine and Ria with a smile of his own smile and was very happy to see from the look on his face.

"Jasmine, how? He's good yeah!" ria said to Jasmine while looking towards the Word who went away from them.

"Yes he's good, "Jasmine replied and then she smiled.

"But baby she's not my type" Ria said with a slight joke.

Hearing that, Jasmine answered Ria with a smile on her lips. He entered his home with the medicine box.

Elsewhere, it was seen that Jasmine's mother was busy calling someone. He was seen talking about Jasmine to the person on the phone. His face looked very happy when he received a call from that person.

At Jasmine's place, Ria was seen sitting on the makeup chair that was in Jasmine's room, while Jasmine was seen tidying up her goods. A moment later flashed through Ria's mind, she said the same thing again to Jasmine.

"Jasmine, if only you had been betrothed by that man. Do you want to marry her?" asked Ria in a low tone.

Hearing that question Jasmine immediately stopped her actions and she was seen sculpting for a while.

"Why did you say that?" jasmine replied in a sad tone.

Hearing Jasmine Ria's reply, she got up from her seat and walked over to Jasmine.

"Jasmine, we don't know your parents' plans!. They could have done that, but.. If if it is true that you are in a match between your parents and him I ask you to be honest with him. I asked you to tell me everything about your life, because what? Because I don't want your life ruined because people aren't necessarily coming for you!" ria said well to Jasmine.

"I know it, but... What does your word mean is.... Ijaz lied!" jasmine replied with a look towards Ria.

"It's not like that, I'm just afraid that you will get hurt eventually," Ria replied kindly to Jasmine.

Hearing that, Jasmine tried not to get angry and tried to understand what Ria said.

"Thank you for reminding me of all this!. And... I also thank you for trying to be my best sister and best friend" Jasmine replied kindly and smiled at Ria.

Moments later Jasmine and Ria embrace each other tightly and at the same time Jasmine's tears trickle down because someday she will lose friends and sisters who always accompany Jasmine when sad nor happy. After that, they let go of the hug and Jasmine was seen returning to continue her work. A little while later, Ria said goodbye to go home to Jasmine.
