Bridal Flowers

Season II: Part 11

"Assalamualaikum ustad Aldi," Her smile naturally sweetened. Then, his gaze turned to look at Dea who was standing rigidly beside Ustad Aldi.

"Dea." He continued with a calm smiling face.

Dea nodded lightly in response to Sapphira who then made her eyes fall on Mira who was looking at her unhappily. It was as if Mira was holding a knife over her head, it was terrifying and uncomfortable.

Aware of the other party being disturbed by his presence, Dea then quietly sat himself in the place where he had originally picked the cucumber. Pretending to be focused and not knowing the three of them, slowly his two legs continued to shift away from them. It was as if both his eyes and hands had become busy looking for the grown cucumber and it was time to pick it.

"Dea, don't move anymore." Masha's voice entered her hearing.

Looking to the right side there was indeed Masha who was looking at him sadly. Confused, Dea wondered why this girl had suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared before him?

Okay, Dea would never think silly if Masha was a strong Jin and capable of living a normal life with humans. He would no longer think so stupid!

"Lho, have you been sitting here?" Looking at the surrounding environment Dea can still see clearly iftad Aldi, Safira and Mira are cool to chat. And Dea was also convinced that from where he had been before Dea could still see Masha clearly from there.

But Dea didn't find it, was it possible that Masha had not previously sat here?

"Dea let's get up, I want to talk to you." Take Masha while getting up from her seat she patted her clothes that had come into contact with the ground.

"Where?" Dea asked felt that there was something different about Masha.

"Anywhere as long as it's not here." Masha quickly replied still focused on staring at Dea who did not move from her sitting event.

"Then what about all these cucumbers?" He asked as he set his gaze to look at the cucumbers in the plastic basket.

"Leave it here." Masha again made Dea more convinced that there was something wrong with Masha.

"All right, I'll come along." After all, he also did not want to be a mosquito between Ustad Aldi and Safira, it was so uncomfortable.

Oh, about that of course Dea knows because she is also a woman. He knows how the eyes of a woman are in love and he also knows how the eyes of a woman who is jealous.

Safira though smiled at him earlier but Dea could still see there was a faint jealousy in her eyes. He was clearly disturbed by the presence of Dea beside Ustad Aldi, Dea saw this. Therefore Dea had consciously retreated backwards and tried to be invisible between them.

He knew very well who he was among them so that rather than feeling hurt it was better to just go away.

"Good, come on, follow me." Masha was satisfied with Dea's direct attitude.

Leading their escape route, Masha led Dea clandestinely into the shady territory of the trees and did not attract the attention of the santri or the patrolling staff.

"Why don't I know if there's a place this quiet here." Dea muttered in amazement and was glad that he had finally found a quiet place to be alone.

Just look, not only shady and shady but here also there is a clear river that flows the waters in this boarding school. There are many rocks that you can sit on if you want to relax while soaking your feet. Listening to the sound of water moving regularly and clearly, this is the best therapy for Dea.

So Dea did not stand still seeing this, he naturally walked towards the rocks laid out beautifully by nature. Lowering his legs that were not using the pedestal he was immediately greeted with a cold feeling that cooled the skin of his soles. He involuntarily sighed in relief feeling the damp feeling as well as the melodious sound of the river singing. Dea's usually indifferent face slowly softened in the soothing morning breeze. His heart was at peace as well as at ease here and he promised in his heart that he would visit this place often. Relaxing if there was any spare time next, Dea would never waste her time.

"How are you feeling now?" Masha asked as she sat down beside Dea, soaking her feet in the clear and soothing waters of the river.

"I feel good." Dea answered honestly with both eyes still cool to see the clear and soothing river flow.

"Thank God you feel so much better." Masha's voice was relieved, she was finally able to relax her body casually again.

"Masha, do you want to tell me something?" Dea didn't know why but her intuition told her like that.

Masha smiled knot indirectly she admitted it. "If I tell you, would you like to tell me all your problems?" Masha asked still calmly, this time he no longer looked at the gently flowing river under his feet but had turned to look at the pale face of the thin Dea.

Dea was confused, "Why should I say it?"

Masha once again smiled faintly but this time there was a faint light in her eyes.

"Dea, I am the third of three children. While my two brothers are a boy born twins." Masha does not answer Dea's questions and prefers to tell her about her family straight away.

Dea does not understand why Masha is telling this because she thinks Dea's story has nothing to do with her.

"They were born twins and not many people knew about this except the people closest to us. Even the girl they loved didn't know if they were twins so create-" Staring at Dea with her mysterious smile.

"A pretty funny and intriguing misunderstanding." He continued whispering, creating a strange premonition that entered Dea's mind.

\*\*\*

"Ustad Aldi was amazing, when we explained earlier we immediately understood in one listen." Praise Safira timidly, he did not dare to look directly at the handsome face of ustad Aldi.

Ustad Aldi of course felt uncomfortable listening to the praise directly from Safira, according to him this sounds very strange.

"Thank you, but I think everyone can do this too or maybe they're more capable than me." Elak ustad Aldi could not bear to hear his praise anymore.

"Oh yeah, did you guys come here to pick cucumbers?" Ask ustad Aldi to switch the conversation, he did not want to linger on the same topic again.

Recalling their mission, Sapphira calmly admitted it. "True ustad, we're here to pick cucumbers." Safira's reply confirmed.

"It's good that's because I'm also currently picking cucumbers." Welcome ustad Aldi enthusiastically while circulating his gaze staring at the cucumber trees that thrive around him.

"Working together to pluck it can get this job done faster, come on." Invite ustad Aldi while sitting himself back where he originally sat and start looking for cucumbers that are worthy of picking or adulthood.

"That's right us-" Sapphira's voice stopped, even her body suddenly felt stiff.

Wh why?

Why doesn't Aldi have a birthmark behind his ear?

He remembers seeing the birthmark behind the ear of Ustad Aldi but why suddenly now it is not here?

No, Sapphira was sure that it was in the left ear!

Yes, there is a small birthmark in the form of a red spot behind his ear on the right. He remembered clearly if Ustad Aldi used to have it.

Why did it suddenly disappear today?

"Safira, hey you don't daydream now!" Mira's whisper panicked when she found Safira daydreaming again. This is not the right time because this time is the best to move close to the Aldi ustad!

"Ah, sorry. My head is a little dazed." Shocked Sapphira re-awakened from her daydream.

Safira smiled faintly as she shook her head, "I'm fine." His reply calmed down once again bringing his gaze to glance at the back of the left ear of ustad Aldi who showed no sign of anything.

"I.I want to see that part there first." Point Safira towards the front. Without waiting for the approval of Mira, he immediately took his steps carefully so as not to disturb Aldi's ustad.

After walking some distance once more his eyes carefully glanced behind the other ear, it was possible that the mark was on the right instead of the left. But again Safira was disappointed because the birthmark was also not behind his right ear.

"Maybe I should ask this later to Mas Gio." His voice was lethargic, he never expected that Ustad Aldi was not the same person as the man he liked first.

Or maybe it was just Aldi but in Egypt yesterday he removed his birthmark. But why would he erase his birthmark?

That really doesn't make any sense!

\*\*\*\*

"Well, instead of helping everyone pick vegetables why are you two just relaxing here?" Suddenly Ana's annoying voice interrupted the chatter of the two of them.

Masha and Dea were certainly not surprised by Ana and Diva's naivety, instead Dea smiled warmly to respond to the two of them as if she was disturbed at all by the arrival of the two of them.

"What if we relax here? We're just taking a little break." Masha replied lazily, leaving everyone stunned for a moment.

Usually Masha would speak soft words here and always looking for safety, she would not want to provoke carelessly to the other two people. He said Masha was afraid of getting punishment from the disciplinary officer.

"And since you are already here then we will not need to linger in this place anymore." Waking up from his sitting event, Dea no longer wanted to be trampled by the two of them. There was already Masha, ah no more precisely Masha who showed her real face.

"Let's go before one garden is harvested out of another." He joked really no matter the two people who were looking at him giddy full of anger.

"Eh.eh, just play. Don't you see if we're still here?" Angry Diva does not accept ignored.

Though it was obvious that the two of them were standing in front of Dea and Masha.

Masha pursed her lips unconcerned, giving the code for Dea to serve her.

"If we keep seeing what?" Smiling mockingly, "Do we have to serve your idiotic minds?" He continued to look at the amused Diva, why is this girl always eager to bother him?

Feeling funny with the words stuck in their throats, Dea was sure that these two people must be very angry right now. But Dea did not care because from the beginning they were both the ones who started the problem.

So, to not prolong the problem Dea had no intention of staying here long. He drew Masha's hand following his path through the last time they passed. But before Dea took a leisurely step again Diva looked for trouble with him.

"Talking about idiots, who's the more idiot here?" Ask mockingly.

"You clearly know it's not that among us you're the only idiot. Giving your only self-respect to a man you consider to be a beloved lover, when that man is no different from a crocodile"

"Shut up." Cut the cold Dea, no need to be reminded anymore his heart is currently so mixed up in pain. But the shame that is so very piercing is sharper inside.

No need to remember anymore because he knows that the mistake was the biggest mistake of his life that can never be forgotten!

"Then what now? He refused to marry and ended your beloved family threw you into this place. Oh, it must've felt very sa-"

"Shut up!." Shouted Dea could not stand it, he hated hearing it and he even hated himself who was hated by everyone was not accepted anywhere even though they were his own family.

But Diva did not hear it and acted as if the voice of anger Dea just wanted to pass to her, "Are you ashamed to admit that you are a cheap woman, are you ashamed to admit that you're a pela-"

Plaques

"Don't Dea have said it before if you have to cover your dirty mouth." Masha's voice was cold, staring intently at the girl he had just slapped angrily.

Diva and Ana stare in surprise at Masha's rude behavior, she even dares to give a slap to Diva! It felt like there was no need to explain because it was so painful and embarrassing!

"You, why did you slap me!" Angry Diva does not accept if she is slapped, her cheeks feel hot and painful!

Masha raised next to her eyebrows feeling funny, "Isn't it obvious? I helped Dea to shut this dirty mouth of yours." The answer was lazy, looking different to the Masha they all knew.

Ana approaches Masha angrily, ready with her curse. "You dare to do this then you do indeed want to search for death-"

"Yeah!!!"

Jburrs

Before he could finish his words, Masha had already pushed him into the river first. All of our Ana's clothes are wet with water, even her hijab has not looked as neat as before.

Not only was the Diva shocked but Dea was as well. He does not understand why Dea is this brutal, but usually Masha is a gentle person.

You could say yeah.. Dea was quite impressed with Dea's direct attitude.

"How dare you!" Ana's emotions can't be held back, she wakes up with the help of Diva and is already preparing to attack Masha. But before they could act, a cold voice interrupted them.

"What's the matter!"

Suddenly the four of them turned their attention and found that there was an old Aldi with several people standing in the entrance. He looked at all the troubled people with an intimidating look, looking unfriendly.

Dea and the others were also surprised that their quarrel would be seen by many people, not only there were staff but many santri as well who were peering at them with curious looks.

"Those who start first justad, look Diva's right cheek is very red because it just slapped Masha. My clothes were also soaking wet from being pushed by Ana into the river.." Ana complained with her pitiful face, showing ustad Aldi how beautiful they were.

Ustad Aldi said nothing and just stared at Masha with a hard-to-understand look. His pitch-black sharp eyes seemed to peek into the depths of Masha's heart, looking for if there was anything wrong with this girl. Stared like this by ustad Aldi, Masha was of course uncomfortable and felt guilty at the same time. But his ego is higher so he still maintains a calm standing posture.

"The four of you must go immediately to Ali's order to report and get your punishment, then Masha-" He called coldly.

"Come to my office later." Continue with a fluctuating face, do not want to stay any longer then ustad Aldi immediately leave this place and return to continue his work that was delayed. He did not even care about Ana's complaints that did not receive if they also received punishment.

Masha let out a long sigh, she knew after this that Aldi would not let her go and somehow this made Masha happy. At least the plan worked!

My other brother must be very angry, ah!

Seriate..

Ahem...There was a leak tucked away dong 😊
