ALINEA LOVE

26

"Al..," Sora called out the name of the man in front of him.

"Yes?" Almeer said, he did not daydream just silence.

"I'm asking you, why don't you answer?"

Almeer was silent.

"Where? can you please be my husband?" Sora repeated his question a second time.

Almeer.

"Why?" Sora's face turned disappointed.

"I'm not the one, Ra."

"Huh?"

"You deserve better than me."

Sora shook his head, "Is it because I still have a little religious knowledge? am I going too far with your criteria, Al?"

Almeer sighed then shook his head.

"You don't like me?" ask Sora.

"No...,"

"So you have feelings for me, Al?" Sora was enthusiastic

Almeer fell silent and lowered his head.

"Al..," Sora again urged Almeer. "I like you and I want a husband like you."

Almeer raised her head and looked at Sora. "I can't ban your feelings for me, Ra. But I can't pay it back either."

Sora pursed his lips tightly, his eyes starting to water looking at Almeer's serious-looking face, very different from usual.

"I'm sorry, Sora."

Sora shook his head, "You have the same taste as me, Al. You're lying." one tear from Sora wet his cheek.

"Ra—"

"Why do you always complicate things, Al?" crop Sora.

"I'm really not a person worthy of you, Ra." Almeer said, his eyes turning anxious to see Sora crying. "I beg you, don't cry. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings." pinta Almeer.

Sora shook his head, he wiped the tears on his cheeks. "I'm not crying because my heart is hurting, Al. I feel sad because you have to lie to yourself. It must be hard..." Her tears came back.

Almeer let out a long breath.

"Why do you have to do this, Al?" sora asked, he started sobbing.

Almeer shook his head. "I can't return your feelings, Ra. I'm sorry..." Almeer repeated his sentence.

"I don't like you like this, Al. You're not a good liar." Said Sora.

Almeer did not answer Sora's words.

"My time in Jogja is only five days, Al." Said Sora.

Almeer frowned, "Five days?"

Sora nodded, "Yes, my Papa has only given me one week to settle my affairs." Sora replied, No-no.., rather my feelings for you." ralat Sora.

"You're going to live in Jakarta?" ask Almeer.

Sora shrugged both of his shoulders, "Come. I don't care about that." Answer Sora. He leaned forward, folded his arms over the table and stared fixedly at Almeer.

"I wish you could be honest with your feelings, Al. I'll wait for you." Said Sora.

Almeer closed his eyes for a moment hearing Sora who was still firm with his stance. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes to look at Sora.

"You'll still get the same answer as today, Ra."

"What the hell made you do this, Al? it should be easy, right? i, you have a taste that sa—"

"I never answered that we have the same taste, Ra." Crop Almeer, his face turned serious with a look of anger.

Seeing Almeer like that made Sora not dare to say a single sentence. Sora was like seeing the other side of Almeer that he had never known.

"I'll go home first, Al." Sora then left Almeer.

"Yeah...,"

Almeer stood up from his seat, eager to resist even chasing after the woman who left with the wound he made. He was still standing, looking at Sora who was further away from him.

O God, the day I feared came also and I could not bear the answer to my feelings. I was too late to get into this situation. And now finally I hurt the feelings of one of your servants. I was too cowardly with my feelings. I'm really not the guy who deserves you. Inner Almeer as she observes the departure of Sora.

Meanwhile, the black-hooded woman who repeatedly wiped her tears was walking quickly to get to her house.

For some reason just a gaze of Almeer's anger left Sora's heart deeply wounded. His chest was tight to hear the words coming out of Almeer's mouth that disagreed with his opinion.

Clearly, it was obvious that the look in Almeer's eyes earlier showed the man was lying. He was sure that Almeer had the same feelings as him. If not, why did Almeer always treat him so well?

No, he's not a guy who likes to give false hope. I'm sure he had reason not to confess his feelings. Inner Sora.

"Why are you, Ra?" sky asked when he saw Sora coming home with wet cheeks due to tears on his cheeks.

"Shh!!" Sora pointed one finger at his index finger, he did not want to argue with Sky this time.

Sora went into his room and took his cell phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mamaaa.

He told his mother the new events he had experienced. Her tears did not stop accompanying Sora when she told the story.

***

Tok tok!

The sound of knocking on Sora's door echoed in the room and the owner ignored the knock, his wet eyes staring blankly at the wall.

"Non, there's a non-Meera coming to take you to school." The sound of bi Uci from outside.

Sora immediately woke up from his sleep and opened the door of his room, "Forgot, Bi..." He ran down the stairs and approached Ameera.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am." Greetings Ameera when Sora approaches her.

"Va'alaikumsalam, Meera. I forgot that tonight there's a study at Cholifa's Ustadzah home. I'm sorry, are you waiting for me to take a shower and get ready? I called Mina too, huh?"

"Yes, Sis..."

Sora went back to the second floor. He knocked on Mina's room, "Dek...., are you ready for your studies yet?" sora asked from behind the door.

"Mina's not coming, sister." Shouted Mina from inside her room.

"Well, tumbenan? why?"

"Mina's menstruating again."

"So, too, but it's just a talk, Dek."

"Mina ain't iruuut, sister." There was the sound of Mina's voice holding back the frustration.

"What the hell, Ra?" asked Sky who had just come out of his room.

"I forgot I had a lecture right now, Good thing Meera picked me up." Sora replied as she passed away going back to her room to take a bath.

"Meera? she here?" Sky's smile expanded widely.

He slowly went down the stairs and approached Ameera in the living room.

"Hi.., Mee-ra!" He asked Meera stammering.

"Yes, Sky." Ameera. "Where are you going, Mas?"

Yes want to be here nemenin you, use the nanya again? Sky muttered inwardly.

"You go ahead, someone's left in the car." Sky replied reasoned.

"Ooh yeah, Mas. Please."

How not to be arrested? He murmured again in his heart.

Sky went ahead, long time he was in the car and looking for anything there to be an excuse. After getting a book, he returned again to the living room.

"His books are missing..," he answered himself without anyone asking, an awkward smile on his lips.

"Yes, Mum." Answer Ameera.

Sky racked his brain to find a topic of conversation with the woman who was sitting in the living room of his house. Maybe his heart was too hard to work so that the blood flow to his brain had problems and made it difficult to think at this time.

"Mmm, yes... Meera...," Sky rapture.

"Yes, Mom?"

He rubbed his back hair, "Where did your sister buy that cake yesterday?" Finally he found the topic.

"Ooh, it's me who makes it, Mas. Does Sky like it?" ask Ameera.

Sky nodded, "I-iya, really like it! Like!"

"Every ten o'clock, three o'clock in the afternoon I make, Mas. Equally exhausted maghrib if there is no more study I also make. If you want to be able to come at that hour, so you can enjoy the still angel."

"Can?"

"Yes, Mas. The important thing is to pay. hehehe." Ameera closed her laughing mouth.

Sky laughed though stiff, "Tomorrow I'll be there."

"Yes, Mas. We are waiting for his visit at our cafe." Ameera.

"Yes...,"

The conversation was over, but Sky was still standing in place and left Ameera confused.

"God! Why?" Sora's touch is neat and fresh even though his eyes look moist.

"Pa-an, anyway!" Said Sky as he passed away.

"Yes, Mother. Mina's not coming?" ask Ameera.

"No, he was busy again. From yesterday busy in the room kept." Answer Sora.

"Ooh, yes, Ma'am."

Sora and Ameera left the house and headed to the house of Ustadzah Cholifa which was still around where they lived.

They came a little late, the studies had begun a while ago but Sora and Ameera still could listen well to what was discussed ustadzah Cholifa.

***

"...If we have asked, we have tried still not been given. God knows we are not ready to accept what we ask for.

For example, there is a five-year-old boy asked to buy a motor gedhe. It is not possible that his parents will love, not because they cannot give, only the time is not right. If his parents continue to give motor gedhe to his son, it could be a bad thing later to happen to his son. Not yet know its function, how to drive it, even its legs are still far nyampe to the ground.

That is how more or less God answers our do'a. Not unfulfilled, but God gives as we need, according to our portion. We should always seek the word of Allah, sooner or later in the time of Allah, we shall be afflicted. ... "

The sentence of Ustadzah Cholifa during the study continued to ring in Sora's ear all the way home.

"Mbak..," Ameera tries to make Sora dreamy.

"Yes, Meera?" sora Sahut

"Mbak why the hell? how grim is it from earlier?"

Sora stopped his steps. "Meerah! Does Almeer have a girl he likes? or maybe he already has a prospective companion who is chosen by your parents?" ask Sora.

Ameera shook her head, "Why is Mama not a matchmaker like Al anyone, Ma'am? why then?"

"If the girl is liked? or who else did he do?"

"As far as I know, the girl who is the same mas Al yes just mbak Sora. If the girl you like I don't know, Mom. Mas Al said, if there is already a suitable must be directly known to papa sama mama."

Sora let out a long breath.

"Why the hell, Ma'am?" Ameera is getting curious.

"So I thought I wanted him to be my husband, but I refused." Grumpy Sora.

"Well!! Rejected? how can? I think Al likes Sora."

"Well, I'm not the smart one. I'm also aware that she likes me, Meera. But he said he didn't deserve me."

"Oh, the answer is that it's mute if you refuse a girl." Ameera.

"Is it because I'm not a good Muslim, Meera?" ask Sora.

Ameera shook her head, "No, Ma'am. Meera sure mas Al has the same special feeling, Ma'am. There must be some other reason he refused...,"

"What's Meera about?"

"Minder the time he is, Ma'am. We are very rich and we are a very ordinary family."

"O Allah, why did Al think so?"

"Or don't-don't because—" Meera immediately pursed her lips tightly.

"For what, Meera?" Sora curious.

Meera shook her head, "No, no. It's nothing...,"

"Meeraaaa...,"

"It's really nothing, Ma'am..."

***

The sunlight penetrated the window glass and burst into Sora's room. The thin white curtains swung beautifully in the wind that touched it. The woman who owned the room had been silent, sitting on the sofa observing the courtyard of her army since dawn.

His puffy eyes are now growing a little dark eye bag decoration on his skin because last night he did not rest his eyes and body.

From a distance he saw the man he had been waiting for since he came out of his house, his smile expanding though not as wide as usual. He pulled out his phone and sent a message to the man who had just climbed on his motorcycle.

/Be careful on the road, Al. Don't forget to smile, your face is ugly if you don't smile./

Almeer immediately raised his head and looked towards Sora's window when he got the message. He could not see Sora's shadow behind the window because the thin curtains there blocked his view.

/Don't look for me, I'm not wearing a veil. But I keep seeing you./ Another new message from Sora.

Almeer smiled at Sora's window, though the smile was covered in fret and guilt.

/I'm leaving first, Sora./ Reply Almeer.

Sora did not reply to the message, and Almeer immediately drove his motorcycle out of his yard. He did not forget to look back at Sora's window before he actually left the gate of his house.

"Youtherly!!"

Brak Brak Brak Brak Brak!!

The cry of Sky's voice and followed by the sound of the buzzing of her bedroom door made Sora ride black.

"What the hell, Sky!?" His touch when he opened the door to his room.

"Are you at this hour, you're not having breakfast? not work? Waiting to, no!"

"No, I don't want to work." Answer Sora.

"Why?"

"Congratulations!" Answer Sora origin.

"Basic slacker." Ejek Sky, "Yaudah, let's have breakfast!"

"No...,"

Brak!

Sora closed the door to her room.

"Why, boy!!" He muttered as he went to Mina's room.

Tok to tok.

Sky knocked on Mina's room door.

"Dec, breakfast yuk." Take Sky.

"Silver Sky breakfast first, Mina will follow." Mina from her room.

"Well family why the hell on being an individual gini?" Mumbled again.

"IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN FOR BREAKFAST TOGETHER, I WON'T CONSIDER YOU FAMILY ANYMORE! DON'T ASK FOR MY HELP IF YOU NEED ANYTHING!!" Shouted Sky spilling his frustration.

***

Thanks to Sky's shout the dining table was no longer deserted. Sky, Sora, Mina and Aga filled each seat. Although everyone was gathering, there was no talk there. Sora was just playing with the food on her plate, Mina was eating in silence and lowered her head, while Aga was not eating, she was just sitting there as a complement and looking at her phone screen.

BRAK!!

"Astaghfiraladzim!!" Pekik Sora and Mina.

Sora and Mina are shocked when Sky breaks down the dining table. Aga just stared flat at Sky.

"This is why anyway? the atmosphere of the house is not good!" Sky Sent on Sora and Mina.

"You, Deck! Two days in the room, it is unclear why. And now you, Ra! Want to follow yourself in the room too!?"

"I'm heartbroken to know!! I rejected the guy!! You don't know what it's like to be heartbroken!! " Sora replied as she pointed her tablespoon towards Sky, making the man reflexively dodge.

"Mbak is rejected?" ask Mina.

"Yes, you're rejected..." Sora's eyes water again.

"Who's the guy?" ask Mina again.

"Tuh, handsome guy in front of the house."

"Uhuk uhuk!!" Mina chokes, she's ready to grab a glass of water.

"Be careful, Dek..," Sora said.

"Why the hell? surprised to hear your brother rejected a guy?" ask Sky.

Mina nodded and smiled, "Yes." Mina said.

"Well, that's a smile... From yesterday, don't smile." Said Sky.

"Bad you! I could be sad you guys are smiling like that." Sora complained, he looked at Aga. "Ga, we're going to. We are on a line. The broken heart."

"Sorry, Miss. I don't feel heartbroken." Reject Aga.

"And you've also rejected me, Ga?"

"But I'm not heartbroken, Miss."

"Mahaha..." Sky's laughter blared in the dining room, "Totally the fate of this twin of mine..," Sky rubbed Sora's head covered with the veil.

"No need for your mercy!" Sora slapped Sky's hand.
