Al-fatihah the Mate Opener

Befriended

Evening has arrived. Sita who was lying on her bed began to think of Ipan, imagined his face clean white and handsome.

Sita also smiled to herself considering the incident earlier this afternoon. His smile on his lips showed clearly the contents of his heart that was blooming.

Sita was not aware, her Contractor friend Ratih who was folding clothes on the sofa, had noticed her.

"At the end you find a replacement for Darwin" said Ratih.

Ratih, who was in the neighbor's Contract room yesterday, noticed the incident.

Ratih did not approach them because he was afraid of disturbing.

Sontak Sita was shocked and apart from her daydream, "Ahh .. anything at all, just met earlier." Smiling embarrassedly Sita chimed in.

"you don't have to hide it."

Ratih spoke again and then kept the clothes he was folding and tried to approach Sita and hold both hands gently Sita.

"It's clearly on your face the happiness that once was lost. Who knows he's your soul mate." in a happy tone Ratih spoke while looking into Sita's eyes with both hands still holding Sita's hand.

"He is quite established and aged, he must also be serious about finding a mate not to mess around. And certainly not like Darwin, who only played you," said Ratih considering Sita's ex-boyfriend who wasted Sita because of other women.

then let go of his hand and folded his shirt back.

Sita was stunned, for a moment Sita thought if it was my soul mate.

"Ahh, where will you go, if he is my soul mate God will certainly show the way." Sita tried to brush off the thought, then Sita pulled the blanket to cover the entire body until the head and tried to sleep.

"Emmm .. pretend to be asleep, usually also late at night new to sleep." Ratih tried to tease Sita by tickling Sita's feet using his right hand, while his left hand held the clothes he had finished folding, as he walked towards the closet next to their bed, to save the clothes that have been finished folded.

"Aww... ticklish tau." Sontak Sita opened the blanket back while laughing curiously,

because Ratih didn't stop researching it.

ha ... ha .. ha .. amused laughter Sita.

Then Sita tried to brush off Ratih's hand, and spontaneously threw a pillow towards Ratih, Ratih immediately put his clothes in the closet and then returned the throw of Sita's pillow, there was a pillow war between them.

"Already! Oh, sorry, I lost!" said Sita.

Sita seemed overwhelmed to face Ratih whose body was fatter and fuller than Sita, then they stopped her pillow fight.

"I'm fucking up." Sita spoke again, she laid her body on the bed, smiling herself in a blanket she had pulled back to cover her entire body.

"WHAT! Ngantukk, lying, most want to imagine Ipan again." Ratih continued to try to tease Sita while she also laid her body next to Sita, then pulled a blanket covering only half the body.

"Whatever!" Sita.

"Yes, I'm sleepy too, good night" said Ratih.

"Good night." Sita replied with a tone that began to weaken, and finally they both slept.

"Where's pan? Do you like Sita?" tanya Dino who was sitting in the guest room of her house with Ipan.

"Where do you know that I love Syakila. Mang Adnan does not know if I have my own choice" said Ipan.

"Yes, thank God you are still in your heart of choice" said Dino.

"meaning?" Ipan glanced at Dino in wonder.

"Yes, I like him" said Dino to the point.

"WHAT!" with shock Ipan spoke. "Do you like Sita?" Ipan continued in disbelief.

"Yes, I like him" Dino tried to reinforce his words.

"She is beautiful, simple, friendly, polite, she looks good too, and as Mang Adnan said she is also diligent in worship, that is the most important," said Dino.

"Sok tau loo," said Ipan.

"I'll find out for myself about him, that's also if you don't change your mind" Dino looked at Ipan who was right in front of him.

"why should I change my mind, I pursued Syakila a long time ago, yes after I got it I just left her because of another woman" said Ipan.

He continued, "I'm grateful that you like him, you can help me explain everything to him. Mang Adnan must have spoken to Sita about the purpose of our arrival yesterday."

"Of course, I'll make him understand, you take it easy" said Dino, speaking in a happy tone to hear what Ipan said.

"Tomorrow I will see him" said Dino again full of enthusiasm.

"Okay, good luck, man." Ipan encouraged Dino. Patting Dino's shoulder.

"OK, all the time ..." while raising his right hand Dino cheered himself up.

"Then I say goodbye, prepare yourself for tomorrow" Ipan spoke and smiled at Dino.

"All right, man" said Dino.

"Bye," Ipan left Dino's house.

"bye," Dino replied.

Dino went to the room. Dino laid her body on the bed and tried to close her eyes.

"Aaahhhh shit, why can't I sleep" he said. It seemed that from earlier Dino could not close his eyes agitated at the thought of Sita.

He tried to change the position of the right tilt, and left, but his mind continued to focus on Sita, then Dino got up and sat down to lean back against himself.

"How do I explain it to Sita, hopefully she's not disappointed, she must have put some hope in Ipan."

His mind went back to Sita, then smiled to himself to imagine the meeting earlier this afternoon. Dino couldn't wait to see him.

"I want to be early in the morning." Dino spoke to himself and then fell asleep.

"Rat, don't forget the door lock, I'm leaving first yes, I'm the picket's turn afraid of bad luck!" said Sita while leaving in a hurry to leave Ratih who was still in the bathroom.

"Yes, careful!" shouts Ratih.

At work Sita looks restless, she looks looking for something. Ratih who had already gotten there tried to approach him.

"Religion ...." Ratih surprised Sita. "What are you looking for?" tanyakanya.

"Tag name I'm missing Rat, what about? I can get angry," said Sita.

"Eeemmm .. therefore do not think Ipan continue, so forget the same name tag 'kan," said Ratih.

He tried to tease Sita again while issuing the name tag Sita was done.

"Hooahhh!" Sita breathed a sigh of relief seeing her name tag found. "Here," Sita's pinta on Ratih.

"Guilt ...." Ratih ran not giving Sita's name tag to her, then Sita chased and they ran.

bruuukkk ....

"What the hell are you guys," said Mr. Bimo angrily seeing the behavior of his two employees who acted like children.

"Sorry, Sir!" said Ratih and Sita while bowing her head.

"The employee is useless!" reproach Mr. Bimo while stepping foot in his room. Mr. Bimo did not stop grumbling.

"You're the one, here!" said Sita while taking her name tag in the hands of Ratih.

"Sorry." Ratih showed a sad face with both hands holding both ears.

Seeing it so Sita even felt funny, the two looked then laughed together.

Haha...

"Uups." They both covered their mouths with both hands.

"Don't look at the boss's whimper later" said Sita.

Then they go to their respective workplaces.

***

Today after work, Sita did not see Mang Adnan selling on his contract, but Sita was surprised again by the arrival of Dino who was waiting for him on the front bench.

"Dino!" said Sita a little surprised, and astonished who only saw Dino alone. He turned to his left and right as if looking for someone.

"You alone?" ask Sita.

"Yes," Dino replied casually. Dino understands Sita is looking for Ipan.

"Oohh!" sita's face looked rather disappointed.

"Can I come in?" ask Dino

"Eumm .. can." While trying to smile Sita also invited Dino to enter, and left the door of his contract open, so that there was no slander between them.

"Please sit!" said Sita.

"Thank you" Dino replied.

"Where's Ipan?" tanya Sita is spontaneous.

"Plan there is a job, later if it is finished he will come here," said Dino. Dino lies to make Sita not anxious, because it is clearly visible on her face Sita is anxious waiting for the arrival of Ipan.

"Oh," replied Sita flatly.

The atmosphere looks clumsy. The stiff sita was unwilling to talk about what, and the confused Dino had to start talking about where to explain everything. Dino was afraid that Sita would be disappointed.

"Want coffee or tea?" tawar Sita opens the conversation.

"No need, I'm not thirsty" Dino said.

"I want to explain something to you," in a slightly hesitant tone Dino spoke.

"It's about Ipan." continued Dino glanced at Sita.

"What's wrong?" Sita was surprised to see Dino's gelagat go awry.

"Em, look, actually Ipan already has a lover," explained Dino to the point. "I'm sorry, I can't make small talk" Dino said.

Sita was shocked, her body felt limp, she said,

his face turned sad and disappointed, but Sita tried not to show it to Dino.

"Love's got? Then why did he come to see me yesterday?" sita asked in a slightly annoyed tone glancing at Dino. "And why do you have to explain this to me?" ask Sita back.

"He just wanted to respect his Uncle's wishes, nothing more" Dino explained.

"By making me wish!" said Sita a little on tap.

"Please excuse me! To be honest, I lied, he wouldn't come here, he told me to explain this to you! He feels guilty and ashamed of you, he can't see the disappointment in your face" said Dino, trying to make Sita understand.

"I'm more ashamed of him, I've wished on the man I just met, I feel like I want to be mad at myself, and more ashamed because you know this," said Sita while holding back the cry.

"You don't have to be ashamed of me, and there's no need to cry! look of disappointment on your face, and the dam of tears in your eyes, cry, consider me your friend!" said Dino.

Without feeling Sita broke into tears, tears that tried to hold her from earlier were unstoppable. Shamefully Sita tried to wipe away her tears that Dino had seen.

"It hurts, it must hurt, when we are given hope then hope is immediately destroyed," said Dino felt sorry to see Sita crying.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to make you sad, but I think it's better before your expectations are too much, it'll hurt more" Dino said.

Suddenly Sita realized, "Yes, you're right. I'm just hoping, haven't really been so hopeful, I'm just admiring, haven't really loved. Your honesty is bitter, but the bitterness is like taking medicine that only passes in the throat, the bitter moment will disappear" said Sita slowly. He tried to catch his breath and calm himself down, then tried to smile gently at Dino. Then Sita also thanked, "Thank you," he said.

"Thank you! thanks for what?" dino said astonished. Dino did not expect Sita to calm down so quickly. "Are you calm?" tanya Dino glanced at Sita and slightly dumbfounded at her who had started smiling.

Sita glanced at Dino and said, "Yes, why are you dumbfounded?"

"I wonder at you, how quickly you cry, and how quickly you calm down, how can you?" ask Dino.

"Do you like to see me cry?" sita replied still with her gentle smile.

"No-no! don't cry anymore! I was confused to face a crying woman" said Dino, holding her hand.

Ha ... ha .. ha. suddenly Sita laughed at Dino's words.

"Are we friends now?" dino's question suddenly made Sita stop her laughter.

"Friends? You're Ipan's friend how can you be friends with me?" said Sita.

"Why? Can't I be friends with you? Or you don't want to?" ask Dino.

"No, I don't mean so-" said Sita stuck because suddenly Dino reached out her hand.

Sita was stunned for a moment, "Alright!" said Sita, holding out her hand to welcome Dino's hand.

"What's this?" ratih's sudden voice came from outside, startling those who immediately let go of their hands.

Ratih just came home because he had to overtime, while Sita came home early because his work was finished.

"Trainer!" said Sita with a little surprise.

"Include this Dino," Sita tried to introduce them.

Train stunned for a moment, he thought this was Ipan, because yesterday afternoon he did see two men but did not know which one was Dino and which one was Ipan.

"My name is Ratih, I'm Sita's roommate" Ratih said.

"Oh, nice to meet you" said Dino. "Then I say goodbye, it seems you need a break." Dino stood up, too.

"Assalaamu'alaikum" said Dino.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam" replied Sita and Ratih.
