BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

The Part 19

Syifa waited for Danang in the parking lot with a sullen face. The waiting has not come from earlier.

" Huft...that's a really old boy!" geruru Syifa's.

Deni who just came also mocked it out - exhausted while laughing curled up - pingkal.

" A... Waiting for a boyfriend, Neng?" ledek Deni's.

" Isa. Deni's brother went away from just ngledekin Syifa!" sumpul Syifa.

" Yes - yes, where are you going?"

" The grave!"

" Athaghfirullah, Fa. I seriously ask you, she replied?"

" Lah, what kind of brother? Syifa also seriously answered."

" sthat mean?"

" Syifa wanted to make a pilgrimage to the graves of her father and mother. Syifa hasn't been there for a long time."

" But why is Danang the same?"

" Because he's not carrying around like Deni's sister!"

" Huft."

" God willing, brother."

Before long, Danang came in different clothes. The OB uniform he wore earlier had changed with a plain black shirt and a white jacket that made it look cleaner and_. (hairin himself aja deh😁 ).

" Sorry, Non. Waiting a long time, huh?" said Danang with a sweet smile.

" Heh, Fa. Breathe!" ledek Deni's.

" Astaghfirullah...!" syifa's strangulation made Deni chuckle.

" Why not Syifa?" ask Danang.

" Huft. Let's go to the night." said Syifa.

Deni whispered to Syifa who made the girl glare and reflexively hit Deni's shoulder.

" What brother is he?" sumpul Syifa.

" Just seen that I was fascinated, but more perfect Reyhan, you know?"

" Can't do it for a second don't talk about him!"

Syifa immediately gave Danang the car keys and sat in the passenger seat.

" Nang, take care of Syifa. Look out if anything happens to him, I'll kill you!" threatening Deni.

" good, Sir. I will take good care of Miss Syifa." replied Danang.

Syifa was just silently staring at the street in front of her with a blank look. Danang already knew about Syifa's late state because the girl often told him about her personal life.

" No, why did you shut up?" ask Danang.

" Eh, it's okay." replied Syifa briefly.

" Where are we going, Non?"

" To my parents' tomb first, it's okay, right?"

" Yes, Non."

Danang hastened the speed of his car to the outskirts of town. Since Reyhan's arrival six months ago, Syifa has not had time to make another pilgrimage to the graves of her parents.

" No, we've arrived" Danang said.

" All right, you just wait here."

Syifa got out of the car and entered the cemetery gate in the almost dark afternoon. Soon as Maghrib arrived, Syifa sped up. With a lack of heart, he tripped over a rock and fell to the ground.

" www!" peekik Syifa's.

" Miss, are you okay - what?"

Danang ran faster to help Syifa to stand up. Earlier, after Syifa entered the cemetery area, Danang felt sorry if his boss entered alone while it was dusk and soon dark.

" Danang, are you here?" Syifa rubbed her scuffed knee.

" I can't let the lady in here alone. Aren't you afraid of a lot of bodies here?"

" God, Danang, the name of the cemetery must be a lot of bodies!" ketus Syifa's.

" Hehehee... That means the lady is not afraid of ghosts dong?"

" No!"

" Sure?"

" Dana!"

Danang took Syifa to the burial place of Syifa's parents. After arriving, they sat down while praying solemnly.

" Dad, mom... Syifa came back here. Syifa hope you do not get tired of hearing Syifa's outpouring of hearts. Syifa no longer knew who to lean on now. Sony and Ardan have their own busy lives and Syifa no longer wants to be too dependent on them. Reyhan, he's even left Syifa. I know it's my fault that it's Reyhan's leaving." Syifa's inner.

" Yes, we'll find the nearest mushola."

Danang ran his car back on the highway and then looked for a place where there was a mosque.

" Non, in the front cafe there is a mushola as well. Did you stop by there?" ask Danang.

" It's up to you, Nang. The important thing is that we eat, I'm hungry."

" Good, Non."

After the maghrib prayer, Syifa and Danang sat in the cafe. They choose to sit in the corner of the room so as not to be too crowded. They both ate like a week without eating.

" Nang, are you proposing to your girlfriend?" ask Syifa.

" Yes so dong, Non. We have been dating for two years, especially if parents have already approved. Afraid of khilaf if late dating."

" Isa.. even a lecture."

" Non Syifa can I make it to his application?"

" When?"

" Saturday will be a work holiday, no."

" I'm sorry, I can't seem to. I'll be gone tomorrow."

" Yes, it's okay, it's not."

" Have you bought the ring?"

" Not yet, not all of you coming home from work tomorrow,"

" We'll buy it now!"

Danang was astonished by Syifa's attitude today. The girl seemed to have no clear purpose tonight. Usually he always tells about his personal problems, but today Syifa always asks questions about Danang's life.

" Non Syifa is having a problem?" ask Danang seriously.

" I'm tired, Nang. The destiny I've been living with is so complicated it doesn't live up to expectations. I live as far as possible, there is nothing I can make lean when I'm down. How long can I survive all this?"

" Non Syifa must be patient and sincere in living it. The power of God cannot be measured by how great. Today we get a tough test, but with sincerity we run it, someday we will reap the results. Allah is Most Just, only those who are in His way will have everlasting happiness."

" Athaghfirullah, I shouldn't complain. Thank you, Nang you are my best friend. You always make my heart calm."

" Well, now Miss wants to tell me the same story?"

Syifa just smiled and told Danang all her personal problems. The man listened seriously and gave little advice and advice so Syifa looks more excited now. Syifa is very lucky to have a friend like Danang who is always wise in dealing with a problem.

Now the two of them are in a jewelry store to buy Danang's engagement ring. Repeatedly Danang refused because he had not brought his money, but Syifa still forced him. Syifa who chose the ring and paid for it and took another piece of jewelry that was wrapped neatly without Danang's knowledge.

" Nih, keep it good - well not to be lost. And here's a present for your future wife, please apologize for not being able to come to your show."

" Miss, this is too much. Miss is too kind to me." Danang said shyly.

" Just accept it, I'm sincerely giving you this."

" Thank you, Miss."

" Tomorrow take me to the airport in the morning - early in the morning. My flight's at seven in the morning."

" Good, Non."

They both decided to go home as the day got late. Syifa told Danang to bring her car so that tomorrow could be faster when she picked her up.

Early in the morning after Shahuh, Syifa picked up Danang to go to the airport. Before that, they stopped by the hospital to say goodbye to Reyhan's parents.

" Assalamu'alaikum" said Syifa slowly.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, baby. You come here early in the morning?" ask papa Hendra.

" Yes, pa. Syifa wanted to say goodbye to my mom and dad to pick Reyhan up. How's mama doing now?"

" It's better, but it's still waiting for lab results."

" Yes, then Syifa left first Pa."

" Liver, baby. Hurry home and bring Reyhan."

" Yes, Pa. Syifa promised to take Reyhan any way."

Papa Hendra hugged Syifa tightly with a smile and gently stroked the girl's head.

" May my efforts this time succeed." grin papa Hendra in heart.
