Ana Uhibbuka Fillah (Series Loves You In Silence 2 )
23. Fikri (tears of Fara)
I drove my car quietly. Behind me there are Father and Mother who have talked a lot since. It starts with the Afrah family. Marriage process next month. Customary law. Reception and other concepts.
Next to me is Faisal. The adopted son I love is 7 years old. Faisal was busy playing games on his phone. He said he was fighting his enemy Raihan. My niece who was in Samarinda and always good looking when I met her.
I smiled amusedly just because I remembered Raihan. Speaking of Faisal, he happened to be coming with us tonight to Afrah's house. The Afrah family should know that I adopted 2 children at once. Faisal and his 8-month-old sister.
Both of my eyes were focused on looking ahead. The road looks smooth especially at this time the clock shows at 21:00 pm. 20 minutes passed after I left the Afrah residence.
Because Afrah, the puzzle I had to solve, it made me finally have to marry her. I explained to Mother that I chose Afrah over Fara. The reason is simple, because Afrah got me interested. Yes interested. Interested in keeping the mystery of my future wife's death in the past even though Mother does not know my true intentions.
A few minutes later my car finally arrived at my apartment bassement. I turned off my car engine and got out of here with everyone.
I looked at Father and Mother holding hands in front of me. While I held Faisal's hand which seemed to wipe both eyes because of drowsiness.
"Faisal is sleepy?" I asked Faisal.
Faisal looked at her face and looked at me. "Yes Papa. I'm sleepy. Can I sleep after this."
I smiled thinly. "of course. Just don't play your phone anymore. What about Raihan? Did he lose the fight with you?"
"I'm the one who lost. He brought a group of his members just to attack me."
I laughed amusedly. Right now we are entering an elevator to go to my apartment. While Father and Mother just smiled faintly staring at our familiarity.
"Patience Nak. You can beat him tomorrow or anytime." I said again comforting him.
Faisal just nodded innocently until we finally arrived upstairs. We entered my apartment room and didn't forget I drove Faisal to his bedroom. I also did not forget to tell him to brush his teeth before going to bed and make sure my son slept well.
It took 30 minutes and then Faisal fell asleep. I chose to get out of his room and into my own.
I unbuttoned my shirt one by one in front of the large mirror in my room. I stared at the look on my face which made me silent. The face that has been filled with dark mass strokes.
The vibration of the phone in my pants pocket felt. I took it out and read the short message notification from Fara.
Fara: "What's wrong? Is there anything important? About work?"
I replied to Fara's short message. An hour ago I gave him a short message to meet in person outside. It was in a cafe to talk about the important things about my marriage to Afrah.
Fikri: "It's not about work. Tomorrow I will tell you yes. It happens to be a holiday tomorrow, right? Ah don't tell me you have an appointment with someone else?"
Send.
I put my phone on a small table. I immediately opened my shirt and replaced it with my sleeping pajamas to coincide with Fara replying.
Fara: "Just relax. I happen to be free tomorrow."
Fikri: "OK."
Send

The Caffe Girls Brown. Jakarta
I arrived at one of the minimalist cafes located in the city of Jakarta 1 hour later after being stuck in traffic for 30 minutes.
The atmosphere of caffe which is only dominated by gray and light brown this time is a recommendation of Fara which is said not too crowded with visitors.
I ordered a glass of coffee caramel that became my favorite during my stay in Jakarta and did not wait for a long time when the cafe waitress of a young woman delivered it to me.
"Thank you."
"Sama-sama Brother. Enjoy it."
I just nodded and smiled. I took a sip of my delicious coffee caramel and tried to prepare myself to talk about important things later on to Fara.
Caffe door open. I looked towards the door and Fara looked bright with her usual facial features. The face I admit is beautiful.
"Asalamualaikum Fik."
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Sit down."
Fara sat down and ordered something in the menu a few minutes later the young waiter came to us.
After the waiter died, Fara looked at me casually.
"Oh yes Fik. What was? He said he wanted to talk about something?"
"Em. yes. You're correct. But, actually I'm not good just to say this."
Fara smiled amusedly. A sweet smile that had always known him made me happy to see him.
"But." I looked at Fara doubtfully. "What is. um how is it."
Unexpectedly I felt awkward. My heart is beating so hard. The kindness of both Fara's parents and Fara's sincere attitude made me hesitate just to discuss this issue.
"Trust. I'm it's okay. Just say it."
"All right. So it's like this.."
I'm silent again. Fara was already enthusiastic looking at me seriously. I sat up a little and now I look at Fara without wanting to delay this again.
"I'm sorry Fara. I hope you're not disappointed."
"Only.."
"I'm.."
"Yes?"
"Em. I.."
"I why Fik? Do not make me curious." seduced Fara with a smile gelinya.
"I. I.."
"Yes?"
I took a breath and then slowly exhaled.
"I'm getting married. Next month. With Afrah Amirah and I chose her as my future wife."
The smile on Fara's face unexpectedly slowly faded away. Fara looked at me long-goals until I finally saw her eyes teary.
"Fara. I asked-"
"Haha... "
I frowned. Why is he laughing? Is there anything funny?
"Fara. What was? I'm serious."
"You're funny Fik. Haha. You're hilarious. God your face."
Fara's order came delivered by the waiter. Fara drank a glass of juice that she ordered. I looked at Fara without blinking.
"I'm sorry Fara. I like Afrah better. I hope you and your family are not disappointed."
Fara put a glass of her juice on the table. Unexpectedly Fara wiped away the tears that were welling up in the corner of her eyes. Suddenly I feel guilty. I don't know if I hurt him or not.
"Oh my God, these contact lenses really bother me. Um just a minute, Fik."
Unexpectedly Fara looks busy reaching into her bag and looking for something there. I was confused to see the expression on Fara's face that was involved was fine and instead laughed like that.
Fara took out a mirror inside her bag. I looked at Fara who was silent. Both of Fara's eyes shed tears. Fara said the tears were because the lens that made her disturbed.
But why is it just an excuse. Doesn't Fara not like me?
"Oh sorry yes. This softlens really bothered me with tears."
"Oh yes. If it is safe then, then Fik. Hopefully lasting. I'm just relaxing. I told you, I don't expect anything with this closeness. Aren't we just friends?"
