After the Rain

Competes

Yandri muttered softly after knowing his mother's wish. Honestly, he felt astonished, I don't know what was the reason his mother asked for such a car. One thing Yandri knows, the more Yandri fulfills his mother's wishes, the more bizarre her requests become.

A few days have passed. However, Siska still could not forget the words of her half-sister. Four years apart? My God, isn't that a long time ago, but why have I never heard of Yandri's farewell at all? inner Siska.

The girl was so statured that she again saw the sitting frame that was on the dresser. Her lentic fingers rubbed the handsome face that was in the frame.

"Hi, how's Yan doing? Do you still remember me?" murmured Siska smiled faintly.

One by one, sweet memories flashed back in Siska's mind. No, if he still loves that guy. The man he had toyed with his heart for a bet.

O Lord .. if time could turn back, I would never waste the sincerity of that innocent young man in loving me, the tearful inner Siska.

Siska grabbed the frame. A moment later, he hugged the object tightly. Both of his shoulders started moving up and down. The tightness in his heart could only be spilled through crying.

Astaghfirullah ..why is it always like this when remembering the man, the inner Siska, who felt his whole body was very weak.

Miss Maryam is not out of ways. With the help of Mr. Agus, Ms. Maryam also managed to get the contact number of Enna, Yandri's former lover.

Miss Maryam smiled broadly when she learned of Enna's current status. Hmm what a coincidence, Yandri the widower, and Enna the widow. Hopefully, the failure of their experience of marriage, will make them fit each other, the inner Maryam Bu.

A moment later, Miss Maryam wiped her phone screen. After entering Enna's phone number, she pressed Enna's name to contact her.

"Assalamu'alaikum, is this really Enna's phone number?" ask Miss Maryam.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Aye, right. I'm Enna myself. Sorry, who's this with, huh?" ask Enna on the other end of the phone.

"This is Maryam, En. Maryam's mother, Yandri's mother" said Miss Maryam.

"Eh, Mommy. Masya Allah .. sorry, Ma'am ... Enna didn't recognize Mom's voice" Enna replied, feeling unwell.

"Yes, En. Not pa-pa, though. Oh yeah, by the way, when do you have free time, son. Kangen mom wants to meet. It seems like it's been a long time since we've met" said Ms. Maryam.

"Yes, Mom. We have not met for a long time. Probably about eight or nine years yes, ma'am," Enna said.

"Hmm, I don't know. I'm not very good at counting, hehehe," Miss Maryam replied, chuckling. "Then, when can we meet," he continued.

"When you have free time, Mom. God willing, Enna can make time for Mom" Enna said on the other end of the phone.

"Ish, I can't do that, En. You, the government employee, while I'm just a homebody. Your schedule is more complicated than your mother's. So, I have to adjust your free time, not vice versa," said Ms. Maryam.

"Ah Mother, it could be," replied Enna. "Yes, how about Saturday tomorrow. Incidentally, Enna has no class on Saturday" he continued.

"Hmm, can tuh. Where's where?" ask Miss Maryam.

"Mom knows Lake Reymonda's restaurant?" ask Enna.

"Yes, I know that place. It just so happened that I had studied at the place," replied Miss Maryam.

"We'll just meet there, ma'am," continued Enna.

"What time, En?" Maryam asked again.

"About 10 o'clock, ma'am," replied Enna.

"Alright, Saturday at Lake Reymonda, 10 o'clock" Miss Maryam repeated.

"Yes, Mom," said Enna.

"Yes already, En. Then I hang up the phone, yeah. Sorry if it interfered with your time. Assalamu'alaikum," said Miss Maryam.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Miss Maryam was smiling herself at the thought of her meeting with Enna. However, without him realizing it, Habibah who had eavesdropped on his conversation from behind the door, grinned cunningly.

Almost every day Miss Maryam called Yandri to ask about the car. Until finally, Yandri himself felt frustrated with the wishes of his mother. Without thinking anymore, Yandri also agreed to the wishes of his mother.

"Yes, Mom. God willing next month Yandri came home" replied Yandri.

"Promise yes, the car is not to be taken again" pressed Miss Maryam.

"Yes, Mom ... Yes," replied Yandri.

"Hmm, I could have, '" Yandri said.

"Thank you, son. May God make your sustenance easier." Do'a Miss Maryam.

"Aamiin's."

Yandri ended his conversation on the phone. After that, he kept his phone back on the desk. The tall man smiled faintly, hearing the mother's happy tone. "Hmm, I should be thanking Daniar" muttered Yandri.

A moment, flashed a shadow of the video call that Yandri had made the day before.

"Cock tangled?" daniar asked when he saw Yandri's face on his phone screen. "Well thesis?" ask Daniar again.

"Alhamdulillah, smoothly Bun," replied Yandri.

"Thank God. Then, why is his face bent so?" Daniar asked again.

"Mom asked to be sent a car" said Yandri, lirih.

"Oh."

Just one short word came from Daniar's tiny lips. The word that made Yandri suddenly frown.

"Kok, oh hell, Bun," Yandri said.

"Yes Niar is confused what to say, Kang, make his nanggepin," Daniar replied.

"Hhhh ...."

There was a heavy sigh from Yandri. He himself was confused to do so. Approved or not approved.

"If you were Akang, what would you do, Bun?" ask Yandri.

"Bakti, the Lord still gives us time to devote to parents" replied Daniar.

"What does that mean, you told Akang to give the car to mom?" yandri asked Daniar.

"The choice is in your hands, hehehe," replied Daniar chuckling.

Hmm, what a crisp laugh that woman has. A laugh that instantly tickled Yandri's longing for her woman.

"I miss you, Bun," Yandri said spontaneously.

"Hmm, sir .. don't start again" Daniar said. "Eh, Kang ... Niar said yes. Go to the shop. Keep the condition of the body well, do not be too soybean as well. Assalamu'alaikum!"

Without waiting for an answer, Daniar's ayu face disappeared from the phone screen. Yandri just smiled faintly. It's always the attitude of women. Avoiding if Yandri discusses longing and feelings.

"really?" ask Siska not to believe it.

Habibah who was busy eating meatballs in the Siska shop, just nodded. His mouth was still full of chewing meatballs.

"So, they got divorced because Daniar can't give offspring anymore?" reset Siska.

"Hem-eh" Habibah replied shortly after sipping tea water. "So, do you still have any interest in improving your relationship with Yandri?" ask Habibah without further ado.

"I-I mean Brother Bibah?" With a blushing face, Siska even asked a question back.

"Come on, Sis .. don't constantly lie to your own feelings. I know, until this moment you still love Yandri very much. The proof, you always reject every man's proposal. And now, you have a chance to get Yandri back. Do you want to waste that opportunity?" habibah.

"I don't know, Brother. My mistake with Yandri was huge. That's why he always kept his distance from me" Siska said.

"Come here, I will tell you the key to get Yandri," Habibah continued, asking Siska to shift and sit next to him.

Siska followed Habibah's orders. He shifted the chair to sit side by side with the woman.

"What should Siska do?" tanyakanya.

"You take my heart. All this time, Yandri always obeyed the mother's orders. If you can please your mother, I'm sure, I will help you to get Yandri's love back" said Habibah.

"But, mom-doesn't i-bu also have a choice for Yandri?" ask Siska nervously.

"Hhh .. That's right, Sis. But there is no harm in trying first. You must be able to compete with Enna in taking Mom's heart. I'm sure you can defeat Enna" replied Habibah.

Siska quiet. Still trying to digest Habibah's answer which always supports his love for Yandri.

Competing with Enna is certainly not an easy thing. Remembering Yandri once had feelings for that woman. However, what Mia said was true, she was Yandri's first love. It is not easy to forget the first love.

If I try a little harder, maybe this time the love will be on my side.
