CURTAINS OF THE PAST

STILL SAYING HIS NAME

Time passed without waiting. Toni and Iffah have been getting closer ever since. There has been no change in their relationship status.

Yes, just superiors and subordinates. Like clothes.

"What's wrong with your Ghali bike?" Toni pulled over her sedan when she saw Ghali pushing her Sport bike on the side of the road to the office where Toni and Iffah worked. Iffah followed behind Ghali.

"Eh Mr. Antoni," Ghali and Iffah were surprised by Toni's sudden greeting. "This is sir, strike. Understand old machinery." He said with a grin while grinning.

Iffah just smiled shyly, she did not expect that her sister could be that close to her superior.

"What can I help you with?" Toni tried to offer something she could do to help the brothers.

"Oh thank you Mr. Antoni If I'm not wrong, there is a workshop. I can push this bike there, sir, it just takes a little while. If I may, I'd like you to take my brother, sir." He said a little.

"Ghaliii..." Iffah rolled her eyes at her sister as if angry.

"It's okay Iffah. Come on..." Bring Toni friendly.

"But Sir,..." Iffah tried to reject him.

"Come on, brother, just go. Mr. Antoni doesn't mind either. Brother and Mr. Antoni one goal." Ghali shouts while gently pushing Iffah's shoulder.

Toni opens her car door for Iffah.

"Thank you..." Iffah brushed off her little smile feeling bad for having troubled her boss.

"Thankyou Brother," Toni whispered as she slowly raised her fist towards Ghali, and was greeted with the same.

"It's too early, Iffah. Do you want breakfast first?" Toni seemed to keep trying to get close to the hooded girl beside her. An opportunity for him, only when God created time by chance is like that time.

"No need Antoni, I and Ghali had breakfast at home." Elak Iffah was hesitant, but not the lie he had uttered.

Every morning Iffah always made breakfast for himself and Ghali, because he knew very well his sister was very fond of his cooking.

"Isn't it because you're condoning, that's why you're rejecting my invitation?." Toni looked towards Iffah. And the same thing Iffah did back then.

Toni is like a bewitch, she continues to look at the face of Iffah who looks more ayu if at close range.

Without Toni noticing, a Cat came across from the left to cross the not-so-dense road.

"Arjuna awaaass..." Toni was so shocked to hear the sudden scream of Iffah.

He immediately slammed his steering towards the left lip of the road. Luckily Toni can control the wheel so that nothing happens to them.

Toni stretched her left hand out parallel to Iffah's neck, so that Iffah would not be pushed forward when she stepped on the brake abruptly.

Not only Toni, Breath Iffah also stung great because of it.

An accident event that was not very clear in his memory, continued to revolve in his mind at that moment.

Iffah held his head firmly.

"I-If-Iffaaah" Toni was struck by the shock of Iffah's sobs.

"Why can't I remember it? Who's she?" Whisper the Iffah by itself. He was so disappointed in his own circumstances.

Toni got out of her car to buy mineral water. He knew what Iffah needed at the time was a drink. He also forgot to take her for the day.

As fast as lightning, Toni again approached Iffah who was still in shock in his car.

"Drink, maybe after this you will feel a little calm." Said Toni while offering a glass of bottled water that has been plugged in by Toni.

Iffah received the drink, and immediately drank it. A small glass of mineral water given Toni is not left by Iffah.

Iffah again set her breath, "Did you hit her?." Ask Iffah worriedly.

"Alhamdulillah no..." Saut Toni lirih's. He was also unable to imagine if the Apostle's beloved animal was crushed by his sedan tires.

"Thank God, thank God Antoni. He is also a living creature, even the funniest animal that is very liked by many people. Especially His Prophet." Iffah exhaled with relief.

"I'm sorry Iffah, you must be very surprised by it." Toni was completely haunted by guilt at the time. Ghali's story is back in his ears.

"Stand back for a moment. I know you're very surprised right now, aren't you?." Said Iffah while smiling to calm Toni.

Toni complied to lean her shoulders against the seat of the steering wheel she was sitting on.

*Even when you don't remember, your lips still say his name.

Is that how much you love your husband?

If so, I still won't give up Iffah*...

Toni looked at Iffah softly.

"Is it better?" Iffah asked Toni's gaze back.

"I almost felt regret for the rest of my life, if only you were okay Iffah." He said softly without stopping his eyes le toward Iffah.

Iffah was so gasped to hear the speech of Toni that he felt was just a dream.

"-You mean?" Iffah asked nervously.

"Oh, no, it's okay. We're leaving now." Said Toni, and immediately re-applied his car parked carelessly on the edge of the road that was almost crowded at that time.
