A Match For Gus Ilham
Chapter.19
...🌸🌸🌸...

"We are just friends with Om" answered Myesha who finally opened her voice.
Do not want to be made to misunderstand what happened. Myesha finally tried to fortify herself and her heart so that it would no longer waver with all that Inspiration did.
Quite once his heart was broken and wounded by the rejection that Ilham used to do so enough to make Myesha realized. If man cannot impose his predestined will on his people.
"Yes, it has to be. Make friends first, only after his ta'aruf. Is it Ham?" seduce the uncle again.
"Yes Om, God willing. Just pray," replied Ilham again which made Myesha even more upset at him.
"Gus, don't be. Do not give hope that is impossible to be realized" said Myesha suppressing her patience.
"I don't give you hope, but ask for prayer. Aren't Om?" reply Ilham looks so relaxed.
Even though the man was well aware that the woman he brought home was currently storing up resentment towards him.
"Ilham is right, there is nothing wrong in asking for prayers. Moreover, a prayer for good, this was the first time he had brought a woman home. Like his Nak Myesha this isn't just a friend to Inspiration, isn't it Ham?"
"God willing Om, may Allah be pleased," Inspiration replied again with an ambiguous answer.
Myesha herself could only remain silent, listening to the chatter between Om and the Nephew. I don't know, Myesha doesn't know what to say.
The meeting lasted long enough, until I saw the Adhan Magrib began to sound and make Myesha realize if she had been there long enough and had to go home.
"Hey, I'll give permission? It's magrib and I have to go home soon" said Myesha finally asked permission to go home to Nyai Mayra.
"Sholat magrib congregated here first Sha. Later after praying, I drive home." between Ilham who heard Myesha say goodbye to Umma Mayra.
Finally, because the time of his pamphit coincides with the time of prayer. Myesha also stopped to go home and chose to pray together at the mosque cottage with others.
Upon entering the mushola, Myesha's gaze looked at one by one the people who entered. Especially the women who will fill the place in the women's section.
However, Myesha had to swallow disappointment when none of her roommates used to come to the mosque for congregational prayers.
Even until the mosque was empty again because the residents had filled the dining room for dinner together.
No one who used to be Myesha's roommate was there. I don't know where the four girls are. Until Myesha really did say anything, Myesha did not meet with her four friends at all.
"Shasa said goodbye to Nyai, when Shasa played again here," said Myesha when saying goodbye to the Ilham family.
"Yes, my heart is on the road. Call Nyai when you arrive. Ham heartily bring the car yes, make sure Nak Shasa survived until the home of his parents," message Umma Mayra to his eldest son.
"Siap Umma, Ilham guarantee. Shasa will arrive home in one piece, no less than one," replied Ilham who was standing next to the car and ready to leave.
"Myesha said goodbye first to all her. Assalamu'alaikum,"
"Waalikumsalam warahmatullah,"
Myesha was finally back in the car Ilham who will take her home. Actually, Myesha wants to go home alone by taxi. Only, Ilham strictly forbade and did not let Myesha go without her.
"I'm the one who's allowed to take you away. Then I'll have to take you home, too."
That is what Ilham said until Myesha finally collapsed and was ready to be brought home by Ilham.
Silent for a while until finally Myesha opened her voice to ask the whereabouts of four friends namely Nurma, Indah, Amina and Khotifah.
"Mm, Gus."
"Yes, why?"
Deg
I swear by what, Myesha's heart almost slipped off its axis as Ilham replied in a soft and warm tone.
I want to fall back in love with that handsome guy. However, Myesha was regained consciousness. If she is not the man's dream woman, then even Myesha must fortify herself so as not to fall into the same abyss.
"May I ask you something?"
"May, just ask."
Again, why is his tone like that? Heart and heart are not okay. Myesha muttered in her heart.
"Gus knew my roommate first? How come I didn't see them in the cabin? Did they get out of the cabin?" cecar Myesha when Ilham gave the opportunity to ask.
"One dong nanya her, hhmm. Tell me what their names are? I don't know which roommate you used to be,"
"Beautiful, Khotifah, Nurma and Amina? Gus know about them?"
"Oh those four girls? After you left, not too long did they also come out of the cottage. Some want to go to Cairo follow in your footsteps and some are married because they have got their soul mate." explained Ilham.
"Oh, so."
"Are you not communicating with them?" ask Inspiration back.
"Four, but only with Nurma. It was before I left and after leaving I lost contact with Nurma" explained Myesha.
Silence is happening again. Both Ilham and Myesha were equally confused to have to start a conversation about what.
Until without feeling the car that Ilham brought has entered the yard of the House of Kusuma Wijaya. And when Ilham parked his car in front of Myesha's house, coinciding also with the adhan Isya reverberated.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said Myesha when she arrived at her parents' house.
"Waalaikumsalam, just got Sha home? Among whom?" ask Mother Realyn who happened to open the door of her house.
"Yes Bun, it's the same___,"
"Assalamu'alaikum aunt, sorry just had to take Myesha home earlier we pray congregation first in the cottage." replied Ilham interrupted the chat between mother and child.
"Waalaikumsalam, uh Mr. Ilham. Thank you for bringing Shasa home, sorry if it's been a hassle. But, did you say cottage? Which cottage?"
"The lodge that Shasa stopped at a year ago Bun. Shasa stopped by to say hello to Nyai Aida and Kyai Yusril." explained Myesha to the Mother.
"Oh yes, Mother just remembered. Pantesan Bunda felt he had seen the face of Mr. Ilham. It turns out we once met in the cottage," exclaimed Mother Realyn who just realized if they had met in the cottage that was visited by Myesha to study religion one year ago.
"Looks negative, but sorry Mom. I forget that I've met Mum and Mr. Ardi." replied Ilham who does not remember ever meeting the parents of Myesha.
"Alright, since Myesha I have delivered to the house safely. Then I say goodbye first, ma'am," continued Ilham who felt he had to go home soon.
"Sholat Isya used to be here Nak Ilham. It is not good to delay prayer, come on. We were worshipping together at the home mosque," said a middle-aged man who had just come out from the inside using a full outfit to worship and it immediately made Myesha shocked.
