Chapter 43 - Who Is That Woman



Camila POVs


I was still sitting in the library after the first class. I was confused whether to accept the offer of Ilham or not. Maybe this is a small thing, just invited to lunch. Or at least just go to the cafeteria. But even though this is a trivial thing but I'm sure it will have a very big effect.


It's not that I'm too confident to think that Ilham's brother likes me. But it is true and by agreeing to his request may be brother Ilham will be wrong to accept. Surprised again all this time I have often refused his invitation but brother Ilham is still brother Ilham with all his struggles to grab my attention.


Huft, I exhaled tired and decided to get out of the library. I was surprised to find Ilham's brother who was already in the garden in front of the perpus. He saw me with a smile on his lips.


" sister Ikham is here"


" wait for you."


" owh."


" Mila, um come with me for a second. There's something I want to tell you. How about we talk while we eat. "


I nodded. "we eat in the cafeteria, brother."


" i actually wanted to take you out to eat. "


" but I still have class after this. "


" it's okay no problem. We're going to the cafeteria now. "


------


Two glasses of orange ice and two bowls of meatballs are on the table. The canteen in the campus area is quite rame. Some tables seem to have been filled by student students who want to fill their stomachs.


" let's Mil please eat. "fresh brother inspiration.


" thank you, brother." I was a little awkward when I started to slide the bowl of meatballs. This is the first time I'm willing to accept an offer of brother inspiration. Because I always try to resist. Whether it's an offer to eat or even an offer to take me home.


This time I can not dodge anymore because it seems like brother inspiration had planned it so that he could be willing to wait for me in front of the library. When in fact my purpose for a long time in the library was to avoid him. But whatever the power, I don't have enough reason to refuse his invitation this time.


" oh yeah.. Sis ilham said there was something to be said. "quote me.


Ilham looked up, sipping his orange ice.


" Mila, I've been wanting to talk to you about this for a long time. But.... There's no chance yet."


He paused his speech.


" Mila's..... To be honest since the first time I saw you, if not wrong at the time ospek first, I've been interested in you.


The words of the brother inspiration this time made me choke on meatballs. I coughed cough. I'll sip my orange ice soon. My throat was hot because the meatballs I ate were mixed with sambal.


" you ain't papa Mil. Sorry if you're surprised "sister inspiration stares at me intensely. My face must have been red from the choking earlier.


Although I had expected it still I was surprised to hear the brother's confession just now.


" Mila's.... I think I like you. May I know you any further. ?"


I looked up trying to look at Brother Ilham. His face gave me great hope.


" do you mean Ilham?" I asked to make sure my brother's speech just now.


" i mean, I want us to have a relationship. Well.... You could say a relationship that is more than a friend or friend. How's it?"


Heavy breathing. If this is how I should talk. I nodded my drink. Trying to string up the right words so that I don't hurt the brother of inspiration.


I look up again." Ilham.... Ever since I knew my brother I knew that Ilham's brother was a very good man. And I'm glad to be friends with my sister. But......"


Sister ilham frowned. "but what is Mila"


" pardon Mila brother. Mila can't have more than a friend with a brother of inspiration."


Disappointment clearly visible on the face of the brother inspiration. "why Mil. What's..... Does Mila have a boyfriend."


I shook my head. "no... Not because it's brother. But..... But indeed Mila can not be in a relationship more than a friend with brother inspiration. Actually not only on the brother of Inspiration. But on everything. "


" i don't understand Mila... "


" some day you will understand what Mila said. What is clear for now is that Mila and sister ilham remain as friends. Forgive Mila if Mila can't take more than that. Mila hope you can understand and accept my decision."


Ilham sighed. He sluggishly said." All right if that's Mila's decision. I can't force Mila to accept me. Mila still wants to be friends with me I'm happy enough. But.... I can still hope.? "


I shook my head. "no brother. Sis ilham should not put any hope in Mila. And Mila also did not want to give false hope to the brother of inspiration. "


" as far as Mila.." asked Ilham, not believing my words just now.


I nodded back.


" pardon Mila brother... "


" Mila there's nothing wrong. It is I who should apologize to you. Because my expression just now might have made you a little uncomfortable. "


I'm just smiling. The phone in my bag was shaking.


" sister I received a call for a moment first. "I asked permission from the brother of inspiration to maintain politeness.


" yes please. "


I swipe the green button on my phone.


" assalamualaikum. What's up?"


" waalaikumsalam. You where Mil." asked Danisha


" it's in the cafeteria. Wh why? " tanyaku. I haven't seen my sister-in-law this whole day.


" what time is the lesson.?"


" there is one more matkul, brother. . "


" friend the sister later. After college at what time. "


" two o'clock."


I pulled a clock on my wrist. It's half an hour.


" where to go, brother."


" search books to gramed. We go to TP all at the mall to wash our eyes. How? .


" okay, brother. "


" betewe was on campus riding what. "


" dirga om erter. Wh why? "


" yes, if so, we go on a grab. If you don't have a motor."


" okay brother. I'll call you when it's done. "


" well sister-in-law. See u's. Adios. "


Phone calls are cut off.


" who? " tanya ilham.


Oh my God I forgot I was still with brother ilham.


" oh. That's Danisha's sister. I'm sorry I have to leave now. I have ten minutes of class. "


" okay okay. Next time we can meet again like this, right?".


" inshaallah."


I got up from my seat.


" thank you for lunch. Excuse me first, brother. Assalamualaikum says. "


" waalaikumsalam. "

Indeed, the name of the Mall is never empty of visitors. More than an hour accompanied brother Danisha looking for a book and fortunately met with the book he was looking for. Relieved because it was tired of traveling since earlier.


" eat first yuk Mil..."


" okay... Quiet..."


Brother Danisha embraced me. My age difference with Danisha's sister is only two years. So we both look more like best friends than brothers-in-law. No one would have thought that Danisha's sister was my sister-in-law.


" i went to the toilet first... Kebelet nih." brother Danisha looked grimacing.


" okay okay... I'll just wait outside, brother." I replied.


" hem.." Danisha's brother darted into the ladies' room.


I stood in front of the hallway to the toilet. While looking at the tenants of clothes sellers who are around the toilet. My eyes were looking at someone I knew. I opened my eyes and my vision was not wrong.


" that's what Dirga does here anyway." a little panic because now om Dirga walk towards me. It would be bad if he saw me here. Is this world this narrow. Wherever you meet the same person.


But wait a minute. Dirga is not alone. Except with a beautiful woman.


Women with high posture and look sexy, look spoiled in the arms of om Dirga.


I was thinking. Who is that woman ?


The plan is I'll run into the toilet so that Dirga can't see me. But shit because now Dirga has seen me. Our eyes meet. Want to run away free anyway he already saw me here.
