After the Word Talak
CHAPTER 13. One Name



Learn to let go of something and let go of the situation.


Be prejudiced against Allah, for there is no bad destiny but a beautiful Destiny that is delayed.



Prangs!


The ring and flower box that Adam brought fell to the ground when he saw Dikta together with Robby in marital status.


As in dropping expectations and in playing with destiny, Adam can only be silent to accept fate, that it turns out he is late and Dikta has reneged on his promise.


Dikta who heard the voice immediately looked at the source where he saw the figure of a grown man who was none other than Adam standing there.


"Adam, um Mas Adam," said Dikta who now calls Adam as Mas Adam.


Adam turned his body around trying to get away from there, but Dikta immediately held him back and made Adam stop his steps.


"Mas Adam? Is Adam home?" Dikta asked while glancing at the ring box that had fallen. "Sorry, I broke our promise first."


Adam smiled legowo heard that then looked at Dikta as if nothing had happened to him.


"It's okay, maybe we're not meant to be a match, oh yeah how are you, sorry I couldn't come to your wedding, now I'm a Doctor," Adam replied trying to strengthen his heart.


"Me, okay, Adam himself?"


"I'm good too" Adam deliberately glanced at his watch which made Dikta look at him seriously. "Sorry Dikta, it seems I have other needs, send greetings to your husband."


Dikta nodded off Adam's departure, actually Adam only lied about other activities, because he was not strong enough to withstand the pain of his heart in a smile.


Adam was pounding in sweat, the two-year wait was futile and he seemed to lose some of his life spirit, Adam was at his lowest point.


The goal already belongs to someone else but at least if Dikta is happy, Adam is happy too.


• the Flashback Off


"Mas Adam?"


"Gee!" Adam awakens in his daydream carried on his past.


"I want to talk to you about something, can you sit down?" Adam invited Dikta to sit in the waiting chair in the corridor.


"What are you talking about?"


"Sheard from Robby, are you pregnant?" adam asked who made Dikta speechless. "Sorry that I'm sassy."


"It's okay Mas, yes I'm pregnant, but Bang Robby does not admit that this is his son," Dikta replied in a pity.


"Mama Reni knows?"


"I hope Mama Reni doesn't know, just hearing the news of our divorce makes Mama Reni fall. Especially if Mama Reni knows I'm pregnant with her granddaughter" replied Dikta who made Adam nod. "Mas Adam himself? Do you have a partner?"


Adam smiled and shook his head. "Please don't think about getting there, deck."


"Well, you're an adult, why don't you try going out? Um sorry I mean, trying to be in a relationship like Taaruf?" dikta answered that made Adam silent.


"Because someone told Mas, dating is not a good deed, and until now there is still one name in the heart of Mas that Mas can not have," Adam looked at Dikta who was looking back at him.


Now that the two eyes were meeting each other, Dikta fell silent at Adam's words and felt guilty for the promise five years ago.


"Why don't you try to be in a relationship with another woman? Regarding courting Mas also did not want to damage the priest with the basis of love," Adam looked forward to releasing their eye contact.


"There is nothing wrong with love, which is wrong are actions done in the name of love," replied Dikta trying to calm down in their condition dissolved in the past.


"Don't want to constantly follow lust, because that feeling if it's not built on reason and sharia, it will be a storm that can throw us into Hell. Hopefully in the future me and Mas can get the right match, the husband who missed heaven and the wife who missed heaven," continued Dikta.


Adam nodded and smiled.


"If you knew what that name was, Ta," Adam lamented.
