Dear, Soul!!

Fauzi Status (2)

The discussion of Fauzi, Nina and Farhan made me even more confused. I don't know how they can openly tease me with Fauzi while Fauzi obviously already has a woman he likes. I was so confused by them, I had responded to their jokes just positioning themselves what if Fauzi's lover knew, but they instead looked at me strangely and their expressions simultaneously changed as if what I said was wrong.

Farhan and Nina's reception is over, I go home and Fauzi takes me. I became increasingly clumsy because of Fauzi who did not open the chat during our trip. I go back to remembering what was wrong with her while I was there? Or maybe he was like this due to the exhaustion today?.

Not long after, Fauzi opened a conversation between us and asked what I thought he was asking to offend me.

"Why??" I asked after seeing Fauzi who had a small laugh hearing my answer when she asked about my partner.

"Son, I just want to know.." The answer.

"More to mock me?" I'm getting more upset.

"No, why should I ridicule you.."

"Well, why?"

"Son, I just feel like you're building a wall between us like you're watching someone's feelings"

What is the meaning of Fauzi's words, instead he should justify my actions like this. I'm just trying to understand the woman's feelings, but why the effect is like I'm keeping other people's feelings on my side.

"It's like that, right.."

"So you actually deliberately avoid some jokes Farhan and Nina because of guarding someone's feelings??"

"Yes.."

"You said you didn't have a boyfriend"

"I don't have any.."

"Whose feelings do you keep?"

We asked each other questions and answered questions that swirled around unclear.

"I did build a wall between us, brother, I just wanted to make sure that my feelings didn't go through that wall.."

"For what?"

"Yes for what else other than to keep the future wife's sister..." I clearly am firm.

Fauzi immediately stepped on the brake suddenly, if I didn't use a seatbelt, I might have hit my head.

"Adduuhhh...." I said screaming trying to defend my position.

"What did you say just now? Wife-to-be??" Fauzi was surprised.

"Ah not a wife? It seems like she is now a wife" Seeing Fauzi's reaction, like she was surprised because I still consider his wife as his future wife. Means now I'm on my way with people's husbands.

"Whose wife? What the hell did you say??"

"Who's wife, whose wife is she?" My answer is getting upset. Why should he pretend to be this stupid, was he deliberately to clarify his status right now in front of me.

"Where do you know I have a wife??" Ask Fauzi.

I got confused myself, why did Fauzi ask like this.

"To yesterday when I sent someone to the hospital. He said he was getting married, ma'am...." I'm getting confused.

"Afifah?? Yes, Afifah is married now, what does that have to do with me.."

"Didn't he marry her with his sister?"

"My same? Why would I marry my cousin?"

"Cousin????" Whoaahh What new facts is this.

"Yes, I ran her yesterday to the hospital because her future husband was busy and could not drive her directly. Aisshhh like I thought that day it looks like you're misunderstanding me"

"Ta but.. The invitation that you discussed with Annisa.."

"You think that's my invitation??"

I'm nodding.

Fauzi laughs.. I don't know what he's laughing about right now either.

I just nodded. Why do I seem to have misunderstood all this time.

"Ha ha Salwa.. You're so funny.." Fauzi said laughing.

"Ja be Afifa, right?? You're not married yet??"

Fauzi looked at me for a moment and smiled.

"Find out for yourself.." He said he gave me a little punch in my head like he always did to me.

Fauzi again started driving, who had to stop because I was surprised by what I said.

Along the way Fauzi kept smiling even occasionally laughing, he didn't say a single word to me that made me confused myself.

I'm arriving home.

"Salwa, thank you for being forthright with what's been on your mind all this time?"

"About what?"

"About me being married" Fauzi laughed again. "You are still as you used to be.."

"Ma means.."

"It's nothing. Come in, it's night..."

I was silent for a moment. Fauzi looked at me confused who had not yet stepped out of his car.

"Sister.." Call me to try to look at him. "From the words of the older brother I heard earlier, I it means unmarried sister and..."

"Find out for yourself.." Fauzi said cutting my words. "Here you go in..."

I just kept quiet for a moment, I really didn't know what was going on. I had gathered up my courage to ask Fauzi but Fauzi in all his obscurity asked me to find the answer to my own question.

"Why? Don't you want to come down? Still want to stay with me here?" Fauzi asked teasing me with his impressed smile on my face right now.

"Ga gaak's... A I'm down.." I stammered either out of nervousness or out of still being confused by what I recently learned about Fauzi.

"You why do you always forget to take off your seatbelt if I drive you??" Fauzi said again to help me unlock my seatbelt.

With my distance close like this, I clearly saw Fauzi's face that looked happy even though I didn't know what pleased him. And again, I really why the hell?? Once again I almost opened the car door but forgot to take off my seatbelt. My nervousness really embarrassed me.

"I don't know either..." I said I was trying to avoid eye contact with Fauzi. "I am, ah, thank you for driving me.." I was really nervous to the point of being confused about how to speak properly.

Fauzi just looked at me and laughed.

"Don't squirm at me.." I tried to cover my face, I did not know how to express, I did not want Fauzi to see my expression that was dumb like a fool and my face that mugkin alone was flushed now because of shame.

"Thank you for letting me go home.." I said after getting off Fauzi's car.

Fauzi came down "Why did he get out of his car??" I'm confused.

Fauzi took off the suit she was wearing and put it on my shoulder. "Where you go in, you can get cold if you stay out for too long"

"i ya.. Ma thanks brother. Brother be careful on the road, I go in first.." I said turn.

"Salvah.." Call Fauzi to arrest me.

"Yes?"

"Next don't call me brother anymore, I don't like ngedenger you call me like that"

"Eh??" I was confused by Fauzi's words.

"Here come in, the point is don't call me brother anymore.."

I just fell silent.

"Where you come in, you can get cold later.."

"Then be careful on the road.."

I stepped inside, for a moment I stopped and turned back to look at Fauzi. He was still there standing looking at me with his smile, I just smiled back and continued my steps.
