Al-fatihah the Mate Opener

Taking the Road - The Road.

After hanging up the phone. Sita approached Riri's brother who was being fed by Syamsul.

"Is it bad, brother?" ask Sita.

"Yes, it stinks, uooo .." said Riri.

"Clearly, don't use onions. That's Brother's will. So if pregnant, don't be weird, brother," said Sita meledek.

"Ah, you, have not yet mastered it," said brother Riri. Then he asked, "Who was the one who called? A boyfriend?"

"Daughter. Girlfriend people, sister," replied Sita.

"Remember what Abah said, if you look for a good partner in his religion, so he can guide you," said brother Riri trying to remind me of the advice that often abah uttered.

"Yes Kak, insya Alloh Sita remembered," said Sita,

hugging his brother.

No start of the night. Sita also paid back to her brother, because tomorrow morning Sita must return to work.

"We go home, brother. Assalaamu'alaikum's chat. Filled depleted! Beware if not, Sita does not want to masakin Brother again!" threaten her.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam" replied Riri and Syamsul. "Yes bawel, do not use ngancem also dong, tomorrow Brother want to masakin chicken too," said Kak Riri.

"Wouldn't! It was also not eaten," Sita said as she passed away.

Haha ....

brother Riri and brother Syamsul laughed.

Not long after Sita arrived at the contract. I don't know how long Dino's been waiting. He who was sitting on the front bench of the contract was seen playing a mobile phone. Sita was a little surprised and walked up to him.

"Dino! You here?" ask Sita.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you. Ratih is not there, it looks like he is out" explained Dino.

"Eum .. but it's night. What were you here for?" tanya Sita felt bad. Sita thought that since this afternoon Dino was waiting for her here.

"Eum .. no, I just came home from the cement house, all through I stopped by here, who knows you've come home," he said.

Sita who saw the situation around deserted felt bad if she invited Dino inside. Because it's a holiday most of his rented neighbors go home to their parents who are close. While far away, one day off does not allow them to go home, so they usually choose to go to the mall just for a walk or shopping.

Sita was forced to let Dino outside, because there was no slander.

"I'm sorry, I can't bring you in" Sita said.

Dino nodded in understanding.

"Oh yeah, what's up? There seems to be something important that you want to say, until you come here twice," said Sita trying to open the conversation.

"Yes, it's important" said Dino, as if he didn't realize what he was saying.

"What's that?" Sita tried to ask back.

Dino immediately becomes nervous, Eu-eu-ti-no, I mean nothing, I just want to see you."

Seeing Dino suddenly nervous, stupefied a strange feeling in Sita's heart. Sita felt that there was something she wanted to say, but she hesitated. Yes, Sita tried not to care.

"Oh yeah, Ipan how are you?" Sita who asked the news of Ipan even made Dino's mood become upset.

"good. On holidays Ipan usually spend time with Syakila. He also works in the same company as you, whether in what part, I don't know. They love each other, soon they're planning on getting married." Dino deliberately discusses Syakila, Dino understands it seems Sita still puts hope in Ipan. He hoped that by explaining this Sita was throwing away her hope.

Sita nodded her head, understanding Dino's intentions.

"Yes, tomorrow after work we go for a walk, yuk!" bring Dino.

Sita glanced at Dino, not answering.

"Eum, you look moody, it looks like you need replying. I know your mood is still not good, tomorrow I pick you up," said Dino trying to persuade Sita.

Sita just kept quiet again did not answer.

"With anyone?" ask Sita.

Actually Sita does not want to go with Dino let alone the two of her. But Sita was not at all good at resisting.

"With my friend," said Dino who seemed to understand Sita did not want to go alone, saying it was spontaneous. He just wanted to go alone with Sita.

'Ah ah how tomorrow' whispered his heart.

"All right, can I get you to coach me?" ask Sita.

"Of course I can" he replied slowly. It seems a bit confused because it's outside of his plan.

"Oh yeah, it's the night I go home first, Assalaamu'alaikum." Dino pamit's.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam" replied Sita.

Dino came home happy tomorrow he will go for a walk with Sita.

Sita rushed inside. Suddenly a voice called out to him, and it turned out that it was Ratih who had just returned home to buy food outside. Ratih who had seen Dino on the road also asked Sita.

When Sita explained, Ratih understood.

"But, tomorrow I was told overtime again Sit, my work again a lot you are good never overtime, your work is normal, I can not follow ya sorry," said Ratih felt guilty. He put his hands together and kept them on his chest.

Sita nodded in understanding, looking disappointed in her face. Sita also looks confused whether she has to invite who tomorrow.

***

Dino did not go home immediately, he wanted to tell his best friend Ipan, who was seen sitting on the porch of his house playing a guitar.

Seeing Dino approaching him Ipan also stopped his activities playing guitar, and warmly welcomed his friends with their friendship style.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam, where were you yesterday we didn't meet?" ask Ipan, while occasionally strumming his guitar.

"Yes, yesterday I met Sita, even now I have just returned from the Contract" said Dino casually.

"really? Have you explained everything?" ask Ipan curiously.

"You know? She was crying, when I explained it all. I felt sorry to see him, I saw him as if he still had hope. But you don't have to worry that I've dealt with it. Tomorrow I'll go with him, and I won't back down even if he just thinks I'm a friend" Dino said expectantly.

"Thank, has made him understand, hopefully your efforts are successful," said Ipan encouraged Dino.

"Better we sing first, yuk! Let's press our brains," invite Ipan, then they laugh .

hahaha ....

"Come on!" answer Dino.

Dino spent half the night with Ipan, singing while playing guitar, until they forgot the time.

Seen by a wrist-circled watch that has shown twelve o'clock at night, Dino immediately went home and rested.

***

Tomorrow after Sita gets home from work. Dino came to pick him up. Dino was worried what to answer if Sita asked her friend.

Dino tried to find an excuse. However,

after hearing Ratih's reason for overtime, Dino took the initiative to make the same excuse.

Sita also understands.

At first Sita was hesitant to go together, not because Sita never went with men, but somehow Sita felt there was something on this man, sunghuh that makes Sita less comfortable.

"Are you ready?" tanya Dino who had been waiting for Sita outside.

Sita just smiled, with the simple clothes she wore, jeans, T-shirts, and hijab that was not too long. Even so, Sita still looks charming in Dino's eyes.

"Where are we going? I hope we're not home too late!" said Sita.

"Alright, we just go eat, you must be hungry after work," asked Dino while looking at Sita.

"All right!" sita said, and they left.

Dino takes Sita to a simple restaurant. However, the food there is famous for its delicious taste, making the restaurant always crowded with visitors.

While Sita enjoys the dishes. Dino was cool to see Sita who was greedy to eat, it was clear that Sita who had just returned home from work was very hungry.

Dino kept smiling looking at her, for some reason Sita was so charming, her simple face looked so beautiful, although many of Dino's workmates were beautiful, but did not make her heart shake like near Sita. Regardless of what kind of charm Sita had, Dino could not stop thinking about it.

Realizing that someone was paying attention, Sita felt embarrassed, and stopped eating. Sita became a mistake.

Dino tried to shift her gaze, as Sita looked at him, pretending to be indifferent.

"Didn't you like the food? your food is intact. Should I spend it?" ask Sita, with a smile.

Dino was soft.

"It!" Dino took her spoonful of rice, and pointed it at Sita, trying to feed Sita.

Sita bengong, suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

Dino moved her head and smiled. As if giving a code for Sita to open her mouth.

But Sita who was surprised, did not also open her mouth.

"Don't you want to spoil my food?" asked Dino with a smile.

"Sorry!" Sita refuses. "I can eat by myself, my food is also still a lot," explained Sita.

"Emh, okay .. it's okay." Dino looked disappointed, and went awry.

The atmosphere on the dining table turned silent for a while, they were busy with their respective thoughts.

'Why is it like a date?' say Sita in the heart.

Sita began to feel that Dino was approaching her. Inner Sita also said back, 'This is a strange feeling that I have been feeling.' guess.

"Ah, damn why can't I control my desires," Dino was upset with herself.

"The food is good, you deserve to be greedy," said Dino trying to melt the atmosphere at that time.

"Yes, it's delicious. Moreover, my empty stomach has been rumbling from earlier," replied Sita.

The atmosphere again melted they continued to talk about the food served at the table. After they finished, they went straight home because it was late at night.

Dino drove Sita home, and immediately said goodbye because it was late at night. There was nothing else that Dino wanted to talk to Sita about, this meeting was enough to make Dino happy.

Arriving at home, Dino immediately rested.

While Sita directly tells the incident at the dining table to Ratih.

"WHAT! as expected, there is something strange about Dino. If Ipan who wants to be betrothed to you is no longer willing to meet you why even Dino who continues to meet you?Under the pretext of befriending Dino, secretly put your heart on you" said Ratih.

Sita was just dumb, with the same mind.

"What should I do if he really puts his heart on me?" Suddenly Sita stood up and paced back and forth with a worried feeling.

"Do you like it?" ask Ratih.

"No, absolutely not" replied Sita.

"So don't see him again if he comes" Ratih said. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Sita nodded, and still kept pacing back and forth because of anxiety. Sita tried to take wudu, pray, and pray, asking for guidance to Allah SWT. Until Sita feels calm and can rest, while Ratih looks asleep.
