Wait around

Leaving the newlyweds with her pending warm-up.

A young man with an age that is mature enough to get married but still chose himself on the grounds that someone is waiting for him is now enjoying his solitude at the end of the twilight right on the edge of the pool that is not far from the room where he stayed.

A puff of cigarette smoke soared into the sky, as his looking face looked up at the orange sky that was starting to semitize. After the Maghrib prayer, he chose to go to that place just to find fresh air.

"Liani Salsabila" he muttered as he closed his eyes, his mind glaring at the image of the figure that had been enthroned in his heart.

Two years passed since the girl's departure she felt an incredible void in her heart. Trying to avoid the taste that grows in his heart just like that for the girl, but the more trying to avoid it the more the sensation is dusty in the chest.

"Sir Ahsan, what are you doing?" the familiar voice in his ear unraveled Ahsan's daydream about the girl. They are business partners and friends of Tama.

"Num" he said with a sigh that sounded tired, Shanum thought the change in attitude of the man was because of the figure he saw last afternoon at the reception.

They came from Garut group deliberately present at the reception because it will be all weekend getaway. Currently they are staying at the same hotel, where the reception of Rahma and Tama was held.

"Yes kangen?" shanum's teasing question at once sounded mocking to Ahsan,

"What the hell are you" Ahsan dodged, the prestige of having to admit if he really missed the girl. He changed his sitting position to be upright because in front of him was already sitting Shanum.

"Heummm, still a prestige" said Akhtar, Shanum's husband who chose to follow his wife after first receiving a call from his business colleagues. After the Maghrib prayer, the twins returned to play with Athaya and Rahma's nieces in the play area, which was specially provided by the hotel. Be Akhtar and Shanum stay together and from the balcony of the room they see Ahsan who is sitting alone by the pool.

"Damn you!" Ahsan throws a tissue at Akhtar which he uses to wipe his hands after turning off his cigarette due to Shanum's presence. The man, who became more handsome and mature after marriage, sat next to his wife and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Somehow, so the guy is still a labil" Akhtar again mocked his cousin.

"I'm not unstable, the more I try to ignore this feeling the stronger it is for him" Ahsan began to speak seriously, only on those two people could he freely speak everything that was harbored in his heart.

"Then go after him, grab his heart" Akhtar cheered, he knew what his cousin had been like for the past two years. Ahsan had always tried to cover up the turmoil of his heart with his humorous nature, he even busied himself with a lot of work as if tireless.

"I was just waiting in a non-intrusive way" Ahsan replied with a poetic sentence, but Akhtar just poked his lips at the expression of his cousin.

"Sir Ahsan loves him" Shanum's question was so innocent, he wanted to make sure the man's feelings for his best friend.

"Very, I love her very much, Num" Ahsan replied sincerely,

"What about Suraya?" Shanum who knows that Ahsan is still often in contact with Suraya even though it is only a business matter, the woman who was once Ahsan's lover but then disappointed her cousin.

"Me and him are just a matter of Num's work, I have no taste for him" she made Shanum smile,

"But not for Suraya" Shanum again chimed in on Ahsan's words,

"You mean?" Ahsan frowned.

"Sir Ahsan is still not aware that what makes Liani leave is because of the closeness of her brother with Suraya" explained Shanum anxious himself. Her husband's cousin was too innocent to be so easily fooled by her sympathetic ex-lover under the guise of friendship.

"I've already explained to him that Num, if me and Suraya are just friends" Ahsan defended himself,

"But not with Kak Suraya Kak" defended Shanum to his best friend, hearing Ahsan Shanum's own words and reiterated that his former cousin's lover always used his cooperation with Ahsan to heat up Liani.

Ahsan's attitude that is not pleasant if refused, so treat Suraya well like a friend is actually used by her former lover and of course Liani his best friend will choose to leave rather than be in uncertainty. He knew exactly what Liani was like.

"That's because Ahsan's brother is not firm and does not give him certainty. Actually what kind of relationship you are and want to be taken where" Shanum explained.

"I'm wrong Num?" the stupid question Shanum had heard from her husband's cousin and senior on campus first.

"Salah" Akhtar replied, since then he only listened to the chat of his wife and cousin while playing his phone with one hand still embracing his wife.

"Then how should I be?" tanya Ahsan sounded desperate.

"Due to the distance with the ex-sister, if possible no longer related any reason. Pursue Liani, give her reassurance, reassure her that Kak Ahsan is indeed worthy of being her match. But that's also if Liani has not found another man to be her life companion." Shanum asserted with a stir.

"Have you any information about him Num?" ahsan asked after taking a breath in hearing Shanum's suggestion that there seemed to be a fresh breeze at the beginning but dwarfed his expectations with his last sentence.

"mmmmm...." Shanum seemed hesitant to say it.

"Tell me dear, let him know" Akhtar rubbed his wife's shoulder, hesitating to tell the truth about her best friend.

"What?" tanya Ahsan was curious.

"That was an ustadzah in one of Kang Tama's foundations, he had a new diploma that was just finished with his education abroad on a scholarship sponsored by Kang Tama company" Shanum sighed he felt heavy saying the information he had just obtained from someone in the same uniform as the woman that Ahsan thought Liani was.

"Continue?" Ahsan looked curious as Shanum suddenly stopped talking.

"The woman that Kak Ahsan saw was indeed named Ustadzah Liani, but ....." Shanum stopped speaking again, while Ahsan looked at Shanum waiting for him to continue speaking.

"But what? you don't get credit dong said, I'll be more curious" Ahsan protested,

"But she is the future wife of Ustadz Fajar, the daily head of the Tama family foundation" Shanum said,

Ahsan took a heavy breath, something made his heart feel pinched. He did not anticipate if the possibility that Shanum said was true. Liani has found her love harbor.

During this time Ahsan was too confident if the woman who had mastered her heart would only focus on studying, she thought that on returning the girl they would return like before.

Night continued to crawl obliterated the twilight and turned into a dark sky that began to decorate the stars.

Kumandang Adzan Isya again called every person to return to face the owner of time.

Exactly at eight pm, the nuclear family of Tama and Rahma as well as the friends are already in the restaurant area for dinner. They are still cool in chatting with various topics, the more familiar creates an atmosphere of togetherness and family that is getting closer.

Various foods have been held at the table, but they did not start the dinner because they were still waiting. Waiting for the two lovebirds who became celebrities today. Who else if the newlyweds.

Feeling bad for Tama's friends who haven't started dinner yet, Judge decided to call her son. Until the third call, the phone was still not connected. The judge was upset that his phone had not been picked up.

"His phone was not picked up Pa" exclaimed the Judge to her husband in an annoyed plow,

"As if they were never young, they were newlyweds. Already let it if hungry they must also eat alone" said Mr. Judge who was greeted with laughter from other family members.

While in the room inhabited by a pair of newlyweds, the man was lying on the lap of the woman's hall. After performing the prayer of Isha merama'ah, the second prayer which was carried out in congregation by a pair of brides, Tama chose to lay his head on Rahma's lap, she drowned her face in the belly of the woman who was already lawful to her with her hands wrapped around her waist. Inhaling deeply the scent of his wife's body, until several times his phone rang he chose to ignore it even though the wife had reminded him. He was still reluctant to move from his comfortable position.

"Mas.." They must be waiting for us,
