Casanova Brief of Widows

Chapter 9

As usual, at four o'clock in the afternoon I was ready for my new routine. Today I will try to carry out the advice of Firdaus. Before going to the mosque I turned the car into the supermarket. I bought all the snacks there.

It has become a habit if I get there the kids are almost done with the activities. Apparently my arrival with a lot of pockets of crackle distract them. Their eyes were all on me even though their lips were still chanting sholawat. Seeing her protege directing her gaze to the courtyard made Arumi reflexively follow their point of view.

Even though I only stared for a moment, I was happy, finally Arumi looked at my arjuna-like face.

"Assalamualaikum," I shouted as I reached the terrace of the mosque.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied the children with enthusiasm.

"What did Bari bring?" ask one of the boys who knows me well.

"Well guess what you brought? Taraaaaa," I said it's exactly like the clowns at the kids' birthday party.

The children immediately sumringah, they shouted excitedly to see me who took a snack ala supermarket. For a moment they forgot the presence of Arumi who was silently staring at the floor.

"Om for one-on-one yes. Yuk line yuk," take me to them.

They immediately lined up neatly, already exactly like the women who were queuing for cooking oil. Sometimes I look at Arumi who is still unmoved.

After I finished my activities. I walked over to the woman who had secretly taken my heart out bit by bit.

"I'm sorry about yesterday" I said.

"Sorry for what? Nothing wrong with yesterday."

"But you're as angry as I am. You're avoiding me."

"Just your feeling. Excuse me."

"Rum, I just want to be friends."

My words managed to make Arumi's steps stop. Honestly, it actually makes me nervous, I hope to hear Arumi say yes.

"For what?"

"What's wrong with being friends? Why do you always ask for reasons in every way. There are some things that don't need Arumi's excuse."

"But I need a reason for this."

"I want to be close to you. Don't ask why Arumi. Because I don't know myself. Where's my fault if I want to be friends with you?"

"Nothing's wrong. The real thing is I don't want to be friends with any guy."

Arumi stepped away after saying that. I just breathed a heavy breath. I don't know why he's acting like that. Has he ever been hurt by a man so deeply and traumatized?

I remember the words of Firdaus, if in this way I accept rejection and I feel sorrow. It means that I can have a taste, and the only way to prove whether this feeling is love is to keep trying to get close to it. Just let time prove it, I'll keep trying. Bodo time with feelings, I just want to be close to him.

While sitting on the terrace. Suddenly Caca, the beautiful little girl with beautiful eyes, came over and sat down beside me.

"Om why are you sitting here alone?" tanyakanya.

"It's okay. Spend time waiting for prayer."

"Taking time just sitting down? Not the boss?"

"Who said it?"

"Om just now. After I wanted to meet Arumi, but Arumi did not want to. Do you know where Arumi is?"

"I'm the same mom...."

Arumi had not yet finished his words, the boy had been called by his friends. So fast he moved me that he could not hold back from leaving.

It's possible that I can follow Arumi from behind when she gets home. But I think twice if I want to do that. I'm afraid that he knows and he's gonna hate me.

"

The day went on, already this one week I came to the mosque with a gift for the children. Be it snacks, rice and side dishes, sometimes I give them envelopes. I don't know, I'm just looking for an excuse to see Arumi every day. Even though I only saw her always lowering her head when talking to me. Although I could only stare at her silently while talking to the children or with her female friends. It has greatly made my heart flower like a flower garden that is growing in spring.

So anxious I was with the woman's behavior, I secretly photographed her who was on the move. I look at it when I'm at work or I'm tired. And miraculously, when my heart warmed again even though just looking at Arumi through a mobile phone.

The mira? I'm still in touch with that woman. I also often do warm struggles with him. However, it has been a few days that we have experienced something strange. While being engrossed in my fight suddenly in my mind appeared the figure of Arumi and as if she was in front of me. It made me let go of that warm struggle quickly. Of course it makes mira suspicious, because I do it not once or twice, but often.

"Why are you beb? Usually also will not escape if not out of breath, or I who released first. Why are you just getting out?" mira protested yesterday at lunchtime.

"I have a lot of thoughts, baby. For now please don't do that just yet yeah, I'm not really focused on this."

Whether it makes sense or not, that's all that comes to mind. Even though I know Mira seems suspicious because I always do the same thing for the same reason.

For more than a year in a relationship, this time I showed a strange gurgle in front of Mira. I don't know, I'm confused as to why my mind is focused on Arumi. Even my heart and head were filled with her name, to the point that I could think of nothing more than the veiled woman.

This afternoon I intend to give the children a gift in the form of stationery and school equipment. It's okay that I lost a lot of money, the important thing is that I get close to Arumi. The money I spent wouldn't have been anything if I could have taken her heart.

"Why do you often give material to my students? Ye know? This makes them learn with dignity. They are enthusiastic in learning because there are frills behind it. Not because of their own wishes. Do you know the impact if one day you stop giving? They have no passion for learning, because there are no more gifts." Arumi said that with angry eyes. No no, he wasn't staring at me. He looked at the trees in the courtyard of the mosque.

"I just want to appreciate their passion for learning. Am I wrong?"

"It is not wrong if it is given rarely and not every day as you are today. To be honest I'm uncomfortable with your presence here."

Jem!

Like a very sharp and pointy dagger. Arumi's words really hurt my heart. I didn't think Arumi could talk like that.

"I came here for Arumi's worship. It's a public place and everyone's free to come." I denied it in as quiet a voice as possible, even though my heart ached.

"Yes I know it's Bari. Come here only for worship, do not come here because you are chasing or wanting something. I know you've never been here even though you come to that front restaurant a lot. I know you spend a lot of time there even though the Adhan sounds where. Why are you here often now? What brings you here every afternoon if there's nothing you're after?"

"You want to know what I'm after?"

"No."

"Every human being must have time to change Arumi. I have never been here before and have been more concerned with my world affairs. Maybe you're right, I'm here because I'm after something. I'll chase until I can," I said and left Arumi who was still staring at the trees.

For the first time I went before Arumi. I am not angry at his words. It's just that I want to give it a flick, don't mess with Bari Abdul Jalil. The handsome man is universal and has obtained the certificate of the world's most handsome man and the hereafter.

Seriate.
