Moist eyes, pale lips and messy hair. Jihan leisurely devoured the food in front of her. Last night he went on hunger strike.
"Jihan... You why the hell, honey?" My mother started. Jihan didn't hear her hunger.
"Pa, how is this Jihan?"
"Udahlah Ma, Jihan is starving again. Not eating all day. Like a little kid."
After spending it all, Jihan returned to her room not caring about her Mama's call. Jihan became mute a thousand languages. Slammed the door again firmly. All his thoughts he tried to divert but still could not be lost. The shadow of David making out in his apartment with Mia is very impeccable.
The Flashback
An appointment at a David Apartment. Located in Luxury Apartment. Throughout the hall Jihan was always smiling. While carrying a small paper bag containing the most expensive watch of the latest output that he wants to give to his lover.
Standing at the door of the room he was looking for. Ride through the bag and pick up the Access Card he had. The door was open and very quiet.
"Baby... Where are you, Beb?" There's no answer.
Room becomes Jihan's destination. The steps are getting closer. Whether Jihan's hearing was problematic or how, the voices of women and men were getting into her hearing. Until in front of David's room door, the voice was even more clearly heard. An unpleasant feeling was stirring him.
1 The strong impulse has already explained what he heard. In a bed, David so brutally fondled and caressed the body of a woman who was under his confinement. The paper bag was splashed down causing a sound that was enough to stop the activity of the two people doing the curse. Jihan's eyes strongly urge clear fluid to come out.
As hard as he felt. David, who saw Jihan's inertness, hurriedly got up and confirmed his boxer pants that almost escaped. David tried to explain.
"Beb, I'm. I-I can explain everything Beb.. This is all out of my control. Mia came and. I'm sorry, Beb."
PLAKKK!
"One slap isn't enough to make my heart go away, Dav. One knife also will not be able to make me relieved. Because what? Because my love, my purity, my stupidity is too deep to lo!! There's nothing wrong with saying sorry...."
Jihan's disclosure has stopped. Trying to stop her tears of disappointment.
"But, I will not be more willing to say sorry out of your trash mouth!! David, I'm happy today. Happy with your circus show. Lo BA-JI-NGAN."
The woman walks down the street while confirming her dress. His hand deliberately stroked David's shirtless chest. David tried to stop his naughty moves.
"Hi, Jihan. Thank you so much, you're coming to our circus."
"Lo shut up Mia!!" David's Clash to Mia.
"Why Honey....? Are you sorry that you did it with me? In fact, you just told me that I am very good at your service. Not kayaking...."
PLAKKK!
"Gue won't be as generous as Lo Mia!! I still have shame and pride. If you want to defeat me, use a classy way. Not BICTH."
Swearing is too expensive for them. His tough steps he began. But, Jihan forgot her 1 intention.
"We broke up David."
"Beb.. please excuse me. I don't want to break up with you. I'm...."
"You two fit in. Equally TRASH!!"
Flashback Off
'1 week is enough for you fools to cry over all of Jihan. You're not the Miss Perfect I know. You should be more grateful this is all unraveling. For years you were useful, but you didn't look and don't realize the blind eye lo.'
Wash the rough face of his tangled. Thick caulking face pembabnya. From now on, there would be no sweet words that he would have to hear. Closing your heart is not a wrong move. Because love is no longer the expectation he seeks.
...π~π...
The guide tidied up the prayer rugs he used. As his mother said, 'Wherever and to whatever extent you step, make this one cloth a place to go home. For God does not like to be ignored.'
"Assalamaicum Buk...."
"Waalaikumsalam Pandu?"
"Alhamdulillah, pangestu Buk. How's Ibuk and Ranti?"
"Alhamdulillah, good also son. When's home?"
"God willing one day Pandu returned home Buk. If it doesn't seem like it can now. Where's Ranti Buk?"
"Against Hall, Pandu. Help me prepare for my studies tonight."
Pandu was so calm he listened to the long story of the mother. The wrinkled face of the always smiling Mother reconciles the heart of Pandu.
"When did you introduce the candidate to Ibuk?"
Ibuk's mainstay questions are always able to be confusing.
"God this year Buk."
"Iihhh. I can't wait to have a minantu."
"Busy.. if the soul mate is not going anywhere. The best is not fast, but precise. I just pray, Pandu is always surrounded by good people as well. So that the guide is always directed to the path of Allah swt. As described in the letter of An Nur verse 26. Women who are not good for men who are not good and men who are not good are for women who are not good anyway. Women are good for good men and men are good for good women."
"Yes, I understand Pandu. But this isn't all because of Sulis, is it? Not because you still love Sulis. I really disagree that you are still hoping and waiting for the blessing of Sulis' parents. Our dignity is really trampled with them. Abnah Sulis was a tea master in our village, disgraced us in front of many people."
"Busy. don't need to be discussed anymore. Pandu has taken everything. Even though their families are like that, we still have to establish a relationship with them. Sulis has also been considered like his own sister."
"Yes, Pandu. I'm sorry I said tea was too late."
"Lere's, Buk."
"Hmm.. then, yes. I'm going to the hall too. Fried nganterin to be divided in the study. Tea is healthy there! Send greetings to Yogi and Raska."
"Yes, Buk. God willing, Pandu will convey to them. Assalamualaikum...."
"Goddessalam...."
As for Sulis, he had already begun to forget. But, it will still imprint when he remembers. The bleak times used to be what many people underestimated. As a child of farm laborers it is impossible to get along with the flower children of Juragan Broto village. Friendship from childhood to growing up, does not deny the existence of love. But, that makes Pandu motivated to fight desperately to raise money, study and wander in the city of people.
TING!
Incoming messages from whatsapp.
Raska: "Ndu, you're my Groomsman! I told Yogi to Ibams too."
Guide: "God willing, Race. God willing I'm coming."
Elvis: "Must dong! I've sent you the suit you're going to wear."
Guide : "Ok, Raska. Thank you, yeah."
'Alhamdulillah. I'm the oldest of you even been overstepped.'
Scratch his neck and smile to himself.
...π~π...
One mistake Jihan so far that ignores the people closest to her. Those who have tried to awaken Jihan from her folly flatter David the parasite. Looking neat, he is ready to go out to Alya Apartment.
"Jihan, where are you going?"
Mama stopped Jihan's steps. Quickly, Jihan kissed her Mama's hand and hugged her tightly while saying an apology.
"Jihan is sorry, Ma. Jihan apologized for not hearing Mama's words with Papa. David is not a good man. He lied to Jihan all this time. David just benefits Jihan from Ma."
"It's ok, honey. Mama is equally grateful that you have been aware and given guidance to God."
"This is a lesson for you. Not to make a rash decision. The man in charge, the man who is able to lead his woman in good instead of bad. And of course, the religious ones. Don't look like a doang." Papa Said.
Jihan felt guilty. Has he been so damned all this time?
Now, he is in front of the door of Alya Apartment. Pressing the bell button waited for Alya to open the door. And open and already found a big smile from both corners of Alya's lips.
"Dam.... I miss you...." Alya hugged Jihan tightly until she felt tight.
"Alya. Don't bother dong."
"Upss. I am so excited. I'm so sorry to have interfered with your relationship with David."
"Gue has broken up. Story Ends." - Story Ends."
"WHAT?! For what?! You gotta tell me, let's go in!"
The storytelling begins. Alya was seen holding back anger. Who is not upset, if you know his own cousin who saw firsthand David's betrayal.
"Basic crocodile!! What a fuckin' son. I was suspicious from the beginning, Jihan. But you still kekeh do not want to hear my words. In fact, it's not just Mia doang prey."
"I've been stupid for 5 years. But, hah. I am so much grateful. Thanks, yes, yes."
"Haihi.... I will always be there for you."
One point of focus Jihan is currently. The middle sparkling thing coiled on Alya's ring finger.
"Wait, what's this, Lya?!"
Alya understood and started trying to explain.
"My fiance's ring." A happy smile emanated and brought his fingers closer to Jihan's front.
"Are you engaged?!" Strengthening the voice of disbelief with Alya's confession.
"Yes Jihan. It's my engagement ring."
"Who's same? Who is he? How do I not know?"
"Where do I want to tell you, if you yourself unlock my number. I also went to Ridwan. But, you really didn't come to my show. I'm sad to know."
"Keep, who's the same fiancee?"
"Yeah.... Raskans."
"RASKA!!! Lo crazy huh?! You forgot he was as jerk as David."
"Jihan. What we see is not real. Raska, Pandu and Yogi have already explained to me."
"Lo believe that with them? Maybe, they made up stories. That guy ain't nobody sincere about us, Lya. Don't let you regret it like I did."
"No, Jihan. It's a different story."
Jihan just realized some of Alya's favorite things are empty out of nowhere. And sure enough, everything has been explained so nicely. Alya and Raska had already started moving their belongings to the house they would occupy later on.
'Alya was really lucky to be reunited with a truly loyal Raska. And which woman is unhappy when made like this queen' In her heart Jihan.
"Gue so believe with 1 proverb. A good woman will meet a good man. Evil women will be met with bad men as well. Maybe I haven't had good behavior. I chose the wrong person I should love."
Alya's gentle rubbing neutralized the emotional in Jihan's heart.
"It's not over yet, Jihan. It's called being saved. He is not your soul mate. And God must have prepared the best soul mate you need, not the one you want. So, don't mistake yourself. In the future, we both introspect and improve our behavior. We are always given the best. Make this a reprimand and a lesson in your life."
Hugs as their last farewell. All have returned. Friends and attention of parents. Jihan has started to open up and not argue too much.
...π~π...
Seriously it was me.

I need your opinion alsoπSo I can learn a lot and improve my writing. Hopefully as expected yaππ
