"Myesha," said Myesha clenched her hands together in her chest without daring to look at Ilham.
"Ilham" replied Ilham doing the same. But in contrast to Myesha who subdued her gaze, Ilham himself instead stared fixedly at the face of the girl.
And indeed at the time of meeting in the hut, they only saw Ilham at a glance, because Ilham who hurried away to fill the hours of his lesson.
Until maybe Ardi's father and Mother Realyn pay less attention if the young man they meet in the cottage is a young man who is now joined at the table they occupy.
In fact, when it was rediscovered one year ago in the company. Neither Ardi nor Ilham's father realized that they had met one year before.
"It seems, I've seen Nak Ilham but where is it? I forgot, but how come his face is like a stranger huh?" ask Mother Realyn who saw a glimpse of the figure of Ilham first when driving her daughter mondok in Al Abdurahman boarding school.
"Maybe my face is the market Ma'am, so Mom feels that way." replied Ilham who also did not remember their first meeting two years ago.
"Then anyway? But it could be. Oh Yes, did Son Ilham come alone?" ask Mother Realyn again.
"Yes ma'am, I happen to be alone. So yes come alone," replied Ilham who made Myesha gasp in shock to make her turn towards Ilham and look fixed on the man's face.
"What time? It is old, age is enough. Why are you alone?" continued Mother Realyn to be able to realize Myesha from what she is doing, looking at the face of a man who is not a mahram for her.
"Astaghfirullahaladzim," Myesha muttered again as she lowered her head.
Along the way, Myesha cursed herself for getting out of control when Ilham said she was still alone.
How could it be still alone, while Myesha clearly heard the news from Nurma, if Ilham would marry right on the same day as her departure to Cairo first.
Then, how could Ilham so loudly say if he was still alone? So what happened to the wedding first? Myesha asked.
"Then why is Nak Ilham not married? Haven't found a suitable one yet?" ask Mother Realyn again, to attract the attention of Myesha to plug the ears. Waiting unsettled for an answer from Inspiration.
"It's still quite traumatic, ma'am. Failing to get married an hour before the contract, it still leaves a wound that is difficult to forget." replied Ilham who returned to make Myesha gasp in shock.
"Oh so it's like that. I'm sorry, hopefully Nak Ilham will soon be met with the real soul mate Nak Ilham,"
"Aamiin Ma'am, thank you. Hopefully soon enough," replied Ilham who deliberately glanced towards Myesha who was silent stealing a glance at him.
The young man seemed to smile with anxiety as Myesha immediately turned and misbehaved as she glanced towards him.
The event continued with the chat between Ardi's father and inspiration. Mother Realyn and Myesha can only be listeners.
Because the two women do not understand the business world to be. They chose to be listeners instead of talking but did not know what the two men were talking about.
"Bun Shasa to the back first yes, want ngadem." whispered Myesha to her Mother.
"Yes dear, do not be far away, yes" replied Mother Realyn who was embraced by her eldest daughter.
Myesha immediately left the table and rushed to the backyard to relax there.
Myesha was sitting alone in a mini gazebo located on the edge of a fish pond in the backyard of the Asifa family home.
Staring at the herd to the mobs of koi fish who are residents of the fish pond that is in front of his eyes. Until someone came up to him and sat next to Myesha at a safe distance.
"Assalamu'alaikum, let's sit yes," said someone who was enough to make Myesha shocked.
"Wa_waalaikumsalam. Yes, please." answered Myesha awkwardly then slightly shifted her seat.
"You, how are you?" he asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Okay, Gus Ilham himself? How's it?" ask back Myesha.
"As you see and hear. I am getting busy with the world of work." replied Inspiration as it is.
He was so busy with work. Especially since failing to marry Fathia and left by Myesha makes Ilham even more workaholic.
It is not his stuttering that makes Inspiration dissolve the world of work. However, Ilham tried to forget someone who was already in his heart. But alas, Ilham realized that after that person disappeared from his life.
"Then, what about Nyai Aida and Nyai Mayra? It feels very confused with him," continued Myesha without daring to turn towards Ilham in the slightest.
"Alhamdulillah well, if kangen why not come to visit the cottage? I am sure that Yangti is the same Umma also misses you," replied Ilham.
"Yes, God willing, come by later,"
"When? What'sthetime? Do I need to pick it up?" cecar Ilham, made Myesha stare while frowning her.
"I'm just offering you a ride, why would you look at him like that? Weird huh?" ilham continued when she saw Myesha looking at him full of question marks.
"Ah, ti_no. Uh, yeah." jawan Myesha stammered.
"Weird why?" tanya Ilham was confused.
"Surprisingly, Gus did not like deket deket same me. Why offer a ride now? Anyway, I can go there with Mahesa or Dad's driver. So there is no need to bother picking up Gus Ilham," explained Myesha who slightly touched the heart of Inspiration.
Can not be denied indeed, if Ilham used to be so unhappy with Myesha. However, since losing the figure of the girl. Inspiration only realized if it turned out, his heart was already attached to the bar girl.
"That first Sha beat, that human can change as time goes on. So did I,"
"Yes, but Gus Ilham did not have to bother. Later I will stop by the cottage with Mahesa or just a driver,"
"All right, we're waiting for her to come,"
"Yes, thank you. Then I say yes first, it seems like Daddy and Mommy are going home," answered Myesha immediately stood up and left from there.
It would not be safe for his heart if it was constantly adjacent to Ilham. For a year, Myesha had gone to great lengths to forget the man.
He did not want his hard work all this time to end in vain by continuously being near Ilham. Myesha was determined to forget the man. Whether the man is married or not, but Myesha has promised to forget him.
