Bridal Flowers

Season II: Part 4

"Dea, wake up." Masha shook Dea's body slowly, intending to wake her up.

Opening her eyes heavily, Dea resentfully looked at the satisfied Masha who was now sitting beside her.

"What the hell, just bother." Dea squeezed the rough hands of Masha that shook her body, she did not like to be touched like this.

Already accustomed to Dea's violent behavior, Masha staunchly awakens Dea.

"Let's wake up De, time to pray tahajud." Pursue Masha once again.

However, this time Dea did not respond to anything and still insisted on maintaining her sleep.

Brak!

"You mean what the hell" Sontak Dea immediately sat down from his reclining show, staring at the perpetrator who had courageously kicked his bed.

"Wake up!" The culprit is Diva, a beautiful girl who always looks one eye Dea.

Knowing that the culprit is the Diva, Dea does not immediately respond to it and just sits quietly watching it.

"This isn't your home in town and you should start getting used to this place, rich lady." Ejek Diva felt the upper hand, let alone their roommates all almost paying attention to Dea who was flat expression.

"Diva, don't start a fuss again. It wouldn't be fair to find out that everyone in this room is getting punished, after all Dea is awake so you don't have to prolong the problem." Masha exclaimed in panic, trying to calm the Diva's irritation to Dea.

How Masha is not afraid if Diva never knows fear when looking for trouble with Dea, especially after Dea threatened to be expelled from the boarding school yesterday Diva felt increasingly above the wind. Not to mention with the disclosure of the secret of the forbidden Dea in the boarding school, all those who hate Dea including Diva continue to disturb him.

But strangely enough, Dea never resisted and obediently kept silent listening to their insults. And either the expression of what Masha had to show about this, whether she should cry or be happy to see how patient Dea was.

"Oh, if the disciplinary officer comes it's easy for us. We would say the beginning of this problem is because Dea is so difficult to wake up, even he had to fight when awakened." Ana, the girl who slept right next to Diva said, defending Diva from her mistakes.

Ririn who became the representative of this room of course did not accept the condition that Ana and Diva wanted, this is their name by deliberately wanting to drop Dea.

"You must not be like that to your own brother, after all this secret reason is unacceptable to the disciplinary officer." He said speak up.

"What Ririn said is true, so it's useless for you to give that excuse." Support Masha trying to weaken the arrogance of Diva and Ana.

"Brother?" Ana asked with a scornful look.

"How could a girl as low as him be our brother, how absurd would that be." Said Diva sneering, looking down at Dea who was still not reacting anything and silently silently staring at her.

This made him even more irritated and angry that Dea was not inedible at all. In the past, the beginning of Dea entered here he was very rebellious and difficult to manage. Even when someone rebukes him he will immediately fight back, berating those who reprimand him.

But now?

Why did Dea do nothing when he rebuked her?

Even when he humbled him, Dea should have fought back, right?

But it didn't happen.

"Astagfirullah Diva, keep the bica-"

"I go first, assalamualaikum." Cut Dea doesn't want to hear them anymore. Waking up from his seat he then took a neatly folded mukena beside him and walked out of the room.

"Friends, me and Dea first well assalamualaikum." Pamit Masha hurriedly chased Dea who had already gone away out.

"Dea, wait!" Pursue Masha to Dea.

He then naturally aligned his steps with Dea, glancing from the corner of his eye whether Dea looked sad or crying.

But no, Masha didn't find anything on Dea's face. He looks ordinary with eyes straight ahead, staring at the mosque which is a little more distance as they approach him.

"Dea next time if they bother you, you can fight it and don't let them keep trampling on your pride. It doesn't matter if it's just a few times." Said Masha giving advice, he was afraid that the cause of Dea restraint was because of Pak Kyai and their agreement.

"Do you feel sorry for me?" Ask Dea to guess.

Masha strongly shook her head in denial, "I don't feel sorry for you but I don't want them to continue humbling you, I can't bear to hear it." He doesn't feel sorry, maybe.

He knows that Dea must be strong and can deal with it.

Silent.

Dea did not respond anymore.

"Dea?" Call Masha not give up.

"You don't understand Masha." Suddenly Dea said this.

"Understand what?" Masha asked confusedly.

Hugging his face tightly, "If I repay them then I will lose, I reply to their words then it is certain that I have entered into the trap they made. Then for that reason they will report me and end up driving me away from this boarding school. Masha, I am currently at war with them. I don't know who wins, we can see who gives up first, whether it's me or them."

Right, Dea knew that they were setting him up and were intent on driving him out of this place. But Dea had known their foul wits so he casually did not reply to them, even though it hurt.

"Aaa.so it's like that."

"Hem."

                                             ***

"Dea look to the left." Dea suddenly turned her eyes to the direction Masha pointed.

Deg

"Assalamualaikum, Sister Annisa, Brother Mira.and.."

"Saffira." Safira said with a standard smile. His sharp eyes glanced at Dea with a clear sight of misgivings.

Of course Dea knew himself and obediently closed his mouth, listening to their chatter.

"Waalaikumussalam, is this not wrong Masha well, the girl Abi told you about last night?" Guess Annisa as soon as she saw Masha in person she could already recognize him.

Abi said last night this girl was one of the brightest achievers. Abi could also see that this girl would one day continue her education to Cairo, seeing how capable and intelligent she was here.

"Eh, yes Brother, I am Masha and the one beside me is Dea, my roommate in the dorm." Said Masha introduced herself and Dea humbly, not feeling arrogant because her name was mentioned by Pak Kyai.

"Oh, is this Dea, Reina's sister?" Annisa's eyes were round with surprise because Dea and Reina were not similar so she could guess who this girl was.

"Yes, sister, this was my classmate from High School. Just because there was a problem he had to move here and was forced to repeat with a different lesson." However, Sapphira was still angry with Dea who had hurt her brother.

If the one Dea hurt wasn't her brother, maybe the apology was easier said from her heart. But this is Annisa, her brother who is too kind and patient so the word sorry for Dea is so difficult to be thrown from his heart.

"Okay, sister and sister are both well, equally problematic." Mira's voice was relaxed, not too flashy for the people around her but unconsciously made the atmosphere tense.

"Don't be like that, Mira." Tegur Annisa does not like it because after all the changes need a process, right?

Moreover, Dea from the city and used to live in the city then to get used to this environment might be very difficult for him. Moreover, Dea had to repeat from the tenth grade again which made him definitely depressed.

"Dea, change needs a process and Brother really understands how depressed we are at that time. But even though it's difficult it's better than nothing because I'm sure, Dea is now much better than Dea who used to be so still Istiqamah yes, deck." Annisa also heard it back then in the hospital. Reina and Safira talk about Dea, the girl who was dishonorably expelled by the school. The male side also refused to take responsibility to Dea, although it was clear that some of the teachers who witnessed Dea and the man had committed adultery.

Annisa as a woman knows how painful it is, especially when people easily gossip about their fatal mistakes. That feeling would not be easy Annisa could forget.

"I understand, thank you, Annisa." Nod Dea politely thank you.

For some reason when hearing this Dea's heart suddenly filled, he was touched because the person who had dzolimi turned out to be a good and forgiving person.

"Yes, we go straight up and join the others." Take Annisa as she moved from where she stood walking into the mosque.

"Mir, I heard that the priest tonight is Ustadz Aldi, really not?" Sapphira whispered lightly in Mira's ear, unaware that her voice could also be heard by Dea.

"It seems that Iyasih, because last night we all would have tried hard to shout cake so that tonight who became the imam of tahajud tahajud ustadz Aldi prayer." Mira whispers back, between sure and not sure if Ustadz Aldi want to fulfill their request.

Well, since Gus Gio already has a wife and they have no hope for him then be their hope rests on a young ustad who knocks the soul.

"Get a saf, please someone else close the saf so that the shaitan can't get in between us." Suddenly a heavy, soothing sound echoed inside the mosque. Making Mira, Safira and Masha suddenly want to run looking for the front saf in order to peek from behind the curtain skat.

However, Dea was thinking hard after hearing this voice. He thought this voice was a little familiar, but Dea was not sure where he had heard it.

It's too vague for him.

"Dea pray next to Brother well, the other because already on the run do not know where." Annisa said immediately disperse the reverie of Dea.

"Ah.iya, Brother." Nod Dea awkwardly. Then after that they both held their prayer mats facing the Qibla along with thousands of students who were beaming before God.

                                            ****

The next morning, Masha kept raving about Aldi's incredible ustad. Whether it was about his voice, his looks, his achievements. All Masha described and kept telling him over and over again.

Dea midwife heard him and thought that this was too much. There is no such perfect man in this world, he thought.

"Lho De, where are you going?" Shocked Masha saw Dea suddenly move away from her seat.

"I'm going to TU's office, want to contact someone." Dea replied indifferently while removing her headscarf.

"You want to call your parents?" Ask Masha guess. For a month, Dea did not contact her parents.

"Hem." Reply Dea indifferently while walking out of the dorm room. Because today is Sunday, the students are free and allowed to contact their families.

Well, it just so happens to be Sunday and Dea will call someone she misses. However, his pleasure did not last long because so until the office he had found a long queue that tested patience.

Dea involuntarily stroked the chest she made.

A few hours later, Dea finally got her turn after a long wait. Before, Dea had almost given up on the long queue. However when he recalled Rio's smiling face, his spirit again blew.

Dialing Rio's phone number that he had memorized out of his head, finally the phone was connected. This signified that Rio never changed his phone number.

Waiting for a few seconds, Rio did not receive a call from Dea. He thought maybe Rio was unhappy with the unknown number calling him.

Not hopeless, Dea repeated the call again until the fourth call finally Rio want to pick up the phone from him.

"Rl"

"Darling, who is that?"

Deg

Dea's body seemed petrified, standing rigidly staring blankly at the wall in front of him. A cold feeling even he felt slowly crept behind him, flowing down his lonely spine.

"Hallo?" This is the disturbed voice of Rio.

"Darling, you're here.we continued that, I can't stand this!" There was a flirtatious voice that again went into Dea's hearing, he knew who this girl was.

"Rio, it's me." Dea's whispers finally made a sound after a few seconds of freezing from the shock of the pain.

Then, the person on the other side suddenly made no sound, leaving a void on Dea's sad face.

"I thought you were loyal all this time, but it turns out I was wrong because you betrayed me." Controlling the sobs that will come out.

"And the one who was with you betrayed me was Ayu, my little friend." His connection reveals the pain of his heart.

He never thought that the voice of his beloved and best friend's day would work together to betray him, he was so shocked and sick at the same time.

"Roh"

"Dea, you're misunderstanding.me and Ayu have nothing to do so please listen to me, okay." Rio cut in panic, sounding stepping away from his seat. His voice was so noisy, Dea thought maybe Rio came out of his place earlier.

"I, because things are like this I won't stand in the way of the two of you anymore. Rio, if one day we meet again act like we never know each other"

"No! No! Can't!." Cut Rio's getting panicked.

"We're still the same, me and you"

"Last, goodbye Rio."

"Dea, wait-"
