CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

We're Different

"What's wrong??" Atala asked on the sidelines of her lunch with Fathir. They're discussing a project from Mr. Alex.

"You mean?" Fathir asked confusedly.

Atala took something out of her suit pocket. And handed it to Fathir.

"What's this?" Fathir asked confusedly.

"That's a gift to Lita from her Lecturer. You've met her. Then what was last night? Usually you're a rioter, but last night you and Joana were quiet. Is there anything I don't know?" Search Atala.

Fathir opened the gift box. A white gold necklace with an L Pendant with a small diamond in the middle of the letter L.

Fathir breathed. "I'm not just once but twice. He caught me with Joana, we almost got hit if we didn't rush Joana to scream." Fathir.

"really? But why?!" Atala looked curious.

Fathir smile. "He thinks I cheated on Joana and deceived Lita. But after the misunderstanding was over, He told me that He loved Lita. I gave it a condition. But now it turns out Lita has Arby." Fathir breathed.

"What conditions?" Ask Atala.

"He has different beliefs with us. I told her if she wanted to marry my sister, she had to follow Our beliefs." Fathir.

"Then does he agree?" Ask Atala.

"He didn't answer NO, he didn't answer YES." Fathir.

"Then what's the problem? That means he's not serious about our brother." Atala.

"I see love in his eyes. I've been investigating everything about him. If Lita seems to prefer Arby, pity Leo too." Fathir. Fathir also tells about the lineage of the Leo Family.

"Wait... Don't tell Leo what you mean, Mr. Son. Alex?" Atala was a little worried.

Fathir nodded. "He is Mr. Son. Alex." - Alex."

"But Lita said, her face was old like an om-om. Leo, Mr. His son. Alex is very handsome. I met him twice because of Mr. Alex called. He wants to learn the religion of Islam." Atala's Story.

"Massaaa???! Is he shaving those feathers?" Ask Fathir in disbelief.

"Maybe... He's very handsome. You just lose. Ahhaha..." Canda Atala's.

"Seriously?" Fathir's eyes glared.

Atala nodded. "You see Mr. Alex? He's handsome, so is his son."

"That means Mr. Alex wants to convert, probably Leo too." Fathir.

"Don't know yet. Mr. Alex said he regretted never teaching Religion to his children. He does not want the events that befall him and his wife to befall his children. So he freed his children to choose." Atala.

"Hopefully Lita is not tempted by her good looks and even follow her beliefs." Fathir.

"Why do you look so confident that Lita likes it? Atala wonder. Even if Lita likes it, she won't betray our trust. You remember what He did to Vero?! Lita wouldn't sacrifice her family's happiness just for her love." Atala.

"Eat him I was silent last night. I'm not good with Arby. He loves our sister so much." Fathir.

Atala hit Fathir on the shoulder, slowly. "Hopefully Lita quickly met her soul mate."

"Aamiin...." Atala and Fathir.

"Where are you going Lita?" Ask Astrid.

"You go first, pity Brother Arby if He waits outside the Campus, without us." Lita Pinta.

"OKs... Don't be long. Arby's sister sent a message." Pinta Astrid's.

"Siiippp...." Said Lita while giving her thumbs up.

Lita and Astrid split up. Lita's going to the toilet. He also read Leo's message. Actually he is very lazy but what can be done, Lita thinks everything should be clear.

Lita just came out of the toilet. A hand coiled around Lita's neck from behind. "Follow Me."

Leo unleashed. Lita still turned her back. Lita justifies her hijab that is tilted due to a little interest.

"Didn't you read my message?" Ask Leo.

"It's been... I've read. But I'm going to the toilet first. Not very patient." Lita pursed her lips She still turned her back to Leo.

Leo grabbed Lita's hand and pulled her.

"Aaacch..." Lita jerks. "Sir..!! Don't be like this." Lita was about to brush off Leo's hand, her face looking up wanted to glare at Leo, but...

"Yes....?!" Lita was stunned to see Leo's face. "Yes Allah... My heart..." Inner Lita while inserting her hands behind her hijab felt her heartbeat.

Leo pulled Lita's hand gently. She misses him so much. Lita is hypnotized, without a fight following Leo.

Arriving at the Garden Leo immediately embraced him. "I miss you so much... Why do you look like this?"

Lita, who was aware of Leo's words, remembered her hijab-wearing self.

Someone saw that longing full hug. Lita was like she was enjoying that hug. "He's very handsome and must be rich. Lita does fit him." Inner that man. There's a sense of tightness in his chest. Soon he left his place.

Lita pushed Leo's body with all her might. Leo was shocked. Lita slapped Leo's cheek hard. Leo gasped. He held her cheek which was hot from the slap.

Fortunately the park situation is quiet, because at this hour many choose to go to the canteen to fill the stomach.

"Can't you appreciate women?!" Jerky Lita. "Don't you think I'm just like the women chasing you...!!" Lita is very emotional. Anger bubbling.

"But I sincerely love you. But why did you change your appearance?" Leo wasn't mad at Lita, he realized she was wrong.

"My religion obliges for women who have already closed their aqil baliq." Lita is still upset but the tone of speech is not as high as before. "Only my husband has the right to see my body." Lita softens. His heart is back beating. But the tears just melt away.

Leo sighed. She wanted to wipe Lita's tears but Lita suddenly turned around and ran.

"Litaaaa...!!!" Leo called him but did not try to catch Lita. His body receded backwards and sat on a park bench.

Lita ran to the toilet. She cried. Resist the turmoil in his heart. "No... I can't cry. I don't love her. He's different from me..." Lita shook her head. Lita washed her face. Swab it gently until dry. Putting his face with powder so as not to look abis crying.

Lita hurriedly came out of the toilet. She was reminded by Arby who must have been waiting for her.

Astrid looks worried. He's pacing around like an iron.

"What's Strid?" Lita asked with a smile covering her sadness.

"Sir Arby's missing." Astrid.

"Whataa??!!! How can??!!" Lita doesn't believe it. "Have you arrived?" Ask Lita.

"So I've met Him. He said he wanted to go to the toilet and then I went to the toilet. Ehhh not back and forth." Astrid's.

"Have called?" Tanya Lita who immediately took the phone from inside her bag.

"Already, but not lifted. Duuhh... Brother Arby where is siihh??" Astrid was very worried.

"Not active." Said Lita.

"Yes aampuunnn...." Astrid's worried.

"We'll just go to the hotel. Maybe he's back there." Lita's Proposal.

"Yes but why?" Astrid's confused.

"I don't know either. Let's try to get there." Take Lita. They rush to the hotel where the Lita brothers stay also Arby.

The Park

"Excuse me..." Greet someone to Leo.

Leo looked up. "Who?"
