A UNITY THAT CANNOT BE UNITED

LOVE BARRIER

Aldi had just arrived at his mobile counter when he found someone he was so familiar with. She was an indo-faced woman, wearing attractive clothes. The woman looked at him and approached the young man as he parked his motorbike sepda.

"Hi, Aldi long time no see." said the woman. "I really miss you."

Aldi raised his face and smiled. "Have you waited so long, Natasha?" ask the young man.

"For a long time, too." replied Natasha, "I'm almost bored, you know." he laughed.

Aldi laughed, "Let's go in." he asked.

Both of them entered the counter and continued to the back. The officers saw them for a moment. They know who that woman is. According to Aldi, he was a schoolmate when he lived in Manado first. Natasha then goes out of the area following the family. The last news he heard, the woman is now domiciled in Surabaya.

"What do you want to drink?" ask Aldi.

Natasha smile. "You know what my habits have been since we went to school?" bring the girl.

Aldi nodded. The young man stepped into the refrigerator and opened it. There's a bottle of coco pandan syrup in there. He and Natasha love the same drink. The young man poured the syrup and mixed it with water then shook it slowly. The drink was then given to Natasha.

"Thank you." said the girl gently.

Aldi smiled and nodded. The young man then sat down and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. A thread of tobacco was removed and attached to the clasp of his lips.

"You're getting good-looking, I'm leaving you, Aldi." - teased Natasha.

Aldi smiled again as he lit his cigarette. After exhaling smoke, the young man looked at Natasha with a full look.

"Still living in Surabaya?" ask Aldi.

Natasha nodded, "But I have business. I opened a culinary business in Gorontalo. While development. Pretty good prospect also I didn't expect."

Aldi nodded. "Then you came here?"

"I told you, I miss you" Natasha said back to flirting.

Aldi laughing. "Which one?" itum youth fishing

"As usual." she said softly and hoarsely while smiling mischievously.

Aldi laughed again. Afterwards he said, "From now on we reduce our meeting, Natasha..."

Natasha smiled and then sneered. "You're the one who can still get young leaves, I'm dikeki.. so usury in Surabaya, I'm also the one who is sought.." said Natasha.

Aldi laughed again. Natasha continued, "Actually, you won't be able to run away from me."

Aldi nodded. "I think it makes sense."

Natasha picked up a glass and drank the syrup. The woman then stood up. "Okay Aldi."

"Eh, you're leaving very quickly." Aldi immediately stood up.

"I'll be here again.I'm still here a long time, again doing a survey, whether I can expand my business here, or not." replied Natasha.

Aldi nodded and smiled. "Well, I'll wait for you to come back."

Natasha nodded and suddenly thrust her face and kissed Aldi's cheek. The young man was momentarily shocked but smiled again.

"Kangen kiss.. Can you, right?" natasha.

"You are indeed full of surprises" Aldi replied by pinching Natasha's chin.

Both of them took a step forward. Arriving there, Aldi looked at Natasha. "I'm calling bentor, right?"

"No, no need." gently push Natasha. "I'm not used to riding in that vehicle."

"But I see you're not carrying a vehicle" Aldi said. "Or I'll take you. Mention the address." the proposal.

"No need. Coming soon." said Natasha.

Aldi nodded and accompanied Natasha in front of the counter. They talked about light things, so shortly a travel car appeared. Aldi observed the logo on the vehicle.

"Ooo... Do you live in that hotel?" guess Aldi.

Natasha nodded and smiled. Aldi nodded anyway. "Someday I'll be floating you."

"I'll wait, okay?" reply Natasha while waving her hand then get into that car. The vehicle then left the counter.

Aldi sighed and turned around to enter again when he heard someone calling him. The young man looked over and his jaw tightened.

"Ishak.." she growled softly.

the one who called him Isaac. The young man was wearing a black hoodie shirt and jeans. He stood back up and put his hands into the pocket of the shirt.

"Do you want what?" ask Aldi.

"Meet you." replied Isaac casually. "When do you want to see your staff?"

Aldi squinted his eyes. "Ishak chuckled, "You guys wanted to fulfill your wish this afternoon when you picked up Selina. Wouldn't you want to kill me if I showed up in front of you?" satirize the young man with a dikulum smile.

Aldi surprised. "You... peek at us?" hatchlings.

"I'm not a stalker, boy.." Isaac tangkis. "I happened to be sitting not far from you two. It's just that you didn't see it." the young man then approached and stood face to face like a fighter ready to fight.

"You're looking for trouble, come here" Aldi said.

"Is that a threat?" asked Isaac and replied to the intimidation made by Aldi.

"You want to prove it?" lure Aldi with a standby attitude.

Isaac shrugged his shoulders. "Say where we fight. It's definitely not here."

"You scared?" ejek Aldi chuckled.

"I don't like being the center of attention" Isaac replied casually.

The two stood back to look at each other. But no matter how sharp Aldi's gaze. He lost his competence with Isaac. The young man did not know that the child sitting in class X in the aliyah madrasah was the leader of a feared gangster organization. Isaac was just undercover. He can't show his side as Skullen.

Isaac smiled. "Can we talk?" ask the young man.

Aldi realized the enemy before him was trying to be polite and polite not out of fear, but took a defensive attitude in the atmosphere of conflict subtly. The young man then pointed inside.

"Please enter" Aldi said flatly.

"Thank you." Isaac replied with a smile then stepped into the counter.

The young man was also stolen a lot of views by the officer. But they did not dare to ask, because they saw the face of their employers who looked flat. The two young men continued to the back and arrived at the businessman's residence.

"Wahhh... also look at you." said Isaac to pay attention to the state of the house and looked at Aldi. "Alone here?"

"Yes." replied Aldi.

Isaac nodded for a moment while observing the room. "I wasn't told to sit?" insinuations.

Aldi's face flushed. "Sorry. Please sit."

Isaac smiled and sat down. "Honoring the enemy, also included in the adab." his reprimand insinuated Aldi.

Aldi sighed trying to hold back his emotions. "What do you want to drink?" ask the young man.

"Then?" aldi's fishing rod raised his chin.

"I want to recognize my rival, completely" he replied casually.

Aldi again snarled softly. His jaw tightened and both his hands clenched tightly. Isaac sat down and looked at Aldi.

"Calm down emotions. Anger is too bad for your health." - Isaac.

"You still have time to advise me?" aldi said with annoyance. "At the same time, you made my lover suffer!"

Isaac smiled. "We're talking about Selina's sister" she told the owner to sit down.

Aldi finally sat down and stared intently at his enemy's face. Isaac sighed for a moment and asked a question. "How long have you been in a relationship?"

"You don't deserve to ask such a question. You have no right." said Aldi ketus.

"Ooo.. quite the opposite, Brother Aldi.I am very entitled to know half the life of my future wife through her lover." replied Isaac wagging his index finger.

Aldi surprised. "What's? Wife-to-be?"

Isaac nodded calmly. "Yes, I proposed to him yesterday, directly to his parents."

Aldi immediately got up and opened his legs on alert to attack. Isaac smiled.

"It is better to undo your intention to harass me, Brother Aldi" Isaac said, intimidating the man. "You won't win."

"At least, I can kill you here!" exclaiming Aldi who immediately went forward to throw a punch.

The punch barely touched Isaac's face when he suddenly shot slightly to the side until Aldi just punched empty air. At the same time, Isaac pulled Aldi's hand until the young man was drawn and fell on the sofa in a bowed position and folded his hand, overstretched by Isaac.

Aldi thrashed but could not escape. He realized who that young man was. In the matter of fighting, it was possible that Isaac would excel against him.

"I told you not to put forward emotions, Aldi" Isaac growled. "You have to give up Selina's sister for me, like it or not."

"A little bit. I won't let go of this!" aldi said with a high tone.

"Lit up to you, buttocks." said Isaac mocking the man. "But once I see you approaching my future wife.I don't hesitate to take precautions."

Isaac then blew his hiraken fist smashing against the part between the shoulder blades and the backbone making Aldi flinch in shock and eventually fall unconscious on that sofa. Isaac snorted and let go of his bitterness and walked away from the room.

...******...

Faisal was astonished when one of the students came to him to tell him that Kyai Hakim was looking for him. Faisal asked about the reason, but the santri only shook his head with a confused face.

Forced Faisal to leave his routine ironing clothes to wear tomorrow morning. The young man left the dormitory and stepped down the corridor until he arrived at Kyai Hakim's residence.

The young man arrived at the porch. The door opened and there was a laugh. He arrived at the side of the door.

"Assalamu.." said Faisal but his speech was held back because he saw someone he knew sitting some distance from Kyai Hakim and his wife.

Kyai Hakim mendehem, reprimanding Faisal. The young man nodded. He immediately repeated his greeting. "Assalamualaik."

"Wa alaikum salaam." replied Kyai Hakim and his wife.

"Come in, Faisal." Kyai Hakim ordered.

"Thank you, Mr. Kyai." Faisal replied in reverence and sat down beside Kyai Hakim opposite Natasha who was sitting across the street.

Faisal looked at Natasha for a moment then looked at Kyai Hakim. "What's wrong, Mr. Kyai?" faisal asked with reverence.

"This.you have a guest." said Kyai Hakim turned to Natasha for a moment and looked at Faisal. "Say your old friend."

Faisal turned back to look at Natasha with a reproachful look making Natasha furrow her brows. Faisal looked back at Kyai Hakim and nodded with reverence.

Kyai Hakim nodded and then sneered for a moment, then said. "Then, have a conversation here." he said and then got up.

When passing Faisal, the parobaya man patted the young man softly on the shoulder. Faisal already understood the meaning of the slow clap. He nodded again in reverence and sat down to correct his attitude. Kyai Hakim and his wife left the two men in their affairs.

"What's up, Natasha?" faisal asked flatly but courteously.

"How are you, Faisal?" greet Natasha gently and her voice is made hoarsely seductive.

"Alhamdulillah, I'm fine." said Faisal who was actually getting tired of making small talk.

Natasha knew the style of the young man. He immediately tested. "I miss you, Fais." she said directly.

"Thank you." Faisal replied with a smile.

"Thank you for the answer?" natasha asked in surprise.

Faisal nodded quickly then raised his eyebrows. "Is there anything you'd expect more of?"

"Of course." said Natasha as she got up and took a seat near Faisal. "I told you, I miss you."

"Yes, thank you." Faisal replied.

"Fais! Not funny!" namel Natasha.

"I think our conversation is over here, Natasha" Faisal said.

"Lho's? How come?" natasha protest.

"We shouldn't be talking here" Faisal said.

"Then we'll talk somewhere else" Natasha told Faisal. He touched the young man's arm. But how shocked Natasha was when Faisal put away his hand.

"Fais.." said Natasha.

"Our business is done, Natasha" Faisal said. "Since you rejected me, chose that man, then I decided to forget you."

"So fast?" matasha Tukas.

"That's fast." said Faisal. "Goodbye, Natasha."

"Faisal, isn't there a little bit in my mind about me?" search Natasha again.

Faisal smiled. "It used to be. That feeling was so hot. but now it has passed..."

Natasha's eyebrows are shrinking. "You've got a replacement." guess. Faisal smiled again.

"If there is, I would be happy to introduce myself to you." Faisal said. "I think the visiting hours are over" he said, staring at the wall clock, then at Natasha. "Go home Natasha."

Natasha grunting. "You kicked me out?"

Faisal smiled again. "You misunderstood. I didn't kick you out. But in this pesantren, indeed the visiting hours are only until eight."

Natasha got up and looked at Faisal. "Alright Faisal. I'm leaving this place. But you should remember that I never took you out of my heart. Not a bit."

The woman walked away without saying goodbye. Faisal just sighed. Soon after, Kyai Hakim appeared. Faisal looked at the leader of the pesantren and immediately sat down with a reverent attitude.

"Kyai.." said Faisal.

"Patience Faisal. If you are patient, Allah will ease your path." kyai Hakim said, leaning back and reaching out his hand, patting Faisal's shoulder slowly after he stepped back to leave Faisal who was sitting dumbstruck in the room. []
