Dear, Soul!!

The 38th Review

"Sister Fauzi...." Call Afifah while constantly knocking on the door of Fauzi's room.. "Sister Fauzii.. Kakkk..." The cries of Afifah are getting louder.

"Ck, why else is this a kid??" Grunt Fauzi was upset as he stepped to open the door. "Hem why??"

"My stomach hurts..." Complaints Afifah.

"Have you taken your medicine?? Which mama? Can I make a warm water compress??" Tanya Fauzi was worried. Yes Fauzi regretted to Afifah but still he would be worried if Afifah was sick. Afifah is like his own younger brother, Fauzi trying to be a good brother for Afifah whose parents have left at his age is still quite young now.

Afifah. "My sheep are a little better.."

"Ah thank goodness.. Yeah, well, get some rest, let me make some porridge.."

"Mama has already made the porridge.."

"Yes continue to ngegedor-gedor my bedroom door continues Afifah..." Fauzi's feeling of worry slowly dissipated and turned to a bit of annoyance.

"Can't you just wait for me??" Afifah asked with a clear face.

"What negantiin?"

"Meet you with Annisa.."

"Why me??"

"I'm going to have a sore again..."

"Well, I'll find him sometime..."

Hearing Fauzi's reply, Afifah immediately put on a sullen face

"I have made a covenant with Annisa today.. Come sis.. The photo file that you want to install on the invitation is also the same brother all.."

"Kc.. You are really.."

"Sister.. Want yaa...." Afifah Whine.

"Well, what time is the promise???"

"Hour ten..."

"Astagfirulah.. Why say it's half ten Afifah???" Fauzi said after looking at the clock that had shown at nine past twenty-five minutes.

"Yes because brother if not work sleep rich kebo', need extra energy to build.."

"Kc.. Yasudah is there.. I'm gonna take a shower first.."

"He he thanks, brother.. Afifah dear to you Fauzi's brother.."

"Helee...." Fauzi said as he closed the door of his room.

Fauzi arrived at a cafe where Annisa and Afifah made a pact. Fauzi checked his phone again and saw the incoming message that Annisa had sent after she informed Annisa that she was the one who would replace Afifah to meet today. Fauzi again checked Annisa's message to find out what the number table was.

"Ah that..." Fauzi said as he looked at table number 13 as Annisa had said in her message. "Tu wait.. I it's not...." Fauzi had met with Annisa before and she still remembered that Annisa was wearing a hijab, but why did the woman sitting at the table not wear the hijab and again the woman sitting was like no stranger to her.

Fauzi walked up to table no 13, in addition to making sure that the table was the place of his appointment to meet Annisa also ascertaining who the woman was sitting at the table that seemed familiar to him.

"Little..." Tegur Fauzi's.

Salwa looked at Fauzi.

"Ck, why even meet Salwa here anyway?? Could it be that I did not discuss the invitation Afifah, and again did Annisa wrong send the table number??" Thought Fauzi.

"Fa Fauzi's..." Salwa was as surprised as Fauzi was.

"Tell me number 13..." Fauzi again checked the incoming message that Annisa sent. "Well, this is the table, did he give me the wrong table number.." Fauzi was confused.

How not, Annisa said that her appointment at table number 13, but why the one sitting at table number 13 even Salwa.

"A promise??" Salwa's question broke Fauzi's confusion.

"Yes, today I have an appointment with someone and he said he has arrived and is waiting for me at table number 13, but this is..." Fauzi hesitantly continued his words, afraid that he was right at the wrong table.

"You're mesen's invitation?" Ask Salwa

"Yes, it looks like he gave me the wrong table number"

"No, this is the table. Who invited her name to Annisa?"

"Ah is right.."

"You're Annisa's friend??"

"Yes..."

"Oh, haha.. I guess I got the wrong table.." Fauzi said immediately

"Astagfirullah, let alone this ordeal.. Why would Salwa have to deal with Annisa. If Salwa continues here I really can not afford to wear this invitation because of groggy.. Ck, I can look like a fool in Salwa's eyes.." Inner Fauzi was upset.

Not long enough Fauzi and Salwa were at the same table together until finally Annisa came back from the toilet.

"Oh has come" Anna cried smilingly breaking the momentary silence that occurred between Fauzi and Salwa. Fauzi who had pretended to be busy taking care of the photo so that his nervousness was not visible to Salwa.

Fauzi smiled back at Annisa.

"I'm sorry I brought a friend.." Annisa.

"No, we know each other.." Fauzi said smilingly. "The ck is really nothing.." Fauzi's mind was the opposite of what he said.

"Well you know each other?" Annisa asked in surprise.

"Yes, Fauzi was my upperclassman in high school.." Answer Salwa.

"Ck, I'm just considered a big brother... This must be because Salwa had misunderstood yesterday.. But it's my fault, too, because I first said that he's my junior brother in front of Afifah. ya want how else to be honest that Salwa is my ex in front of Afifah just feel like a problem.." Fauzi grunts in the heart.

Salwa who got a phone call from someone asked Annisa and Fauzi for permission to pick up her phone. Fauzi occasionally glanced at Salwa if the opportunity arose. Well, if it were possible, Fauzi would have looked at Salwa as much as he could, just that he couldn't do it now.

"Why Wa?" Annisa asked after Salwa finished her phone.

"I have a call to the hospital now, there's urgent work. I'm staying okay??"

"Salwa has really changed now, he is getting busy with his job and looks very professional. How can I hope he still likes me when he's this good. There must be a lot of men approaching him now..." Fauzi murmured in a heart that was starting to feel pessimistic now.

"That's okay, thanks for the money.."

"Yes beb.." Salwa replied smiling. "I'm sorry to say so first" Salwa told Fauzi. Fauzi simply smiled back and felt increasingly pessimistic.

Fauzi stared at Salwa step by step who was getting further away. There was a sense of unwillingness Salwa passed because she still wanted to see him but there was also a sense of relief at least Salwa was not with them so Fauzi could concentrate on discussing Afifah's invitation with Annisa. But in addition there is also a sense of pessimism that began to interfere with Fauzi's mind.

Fauzi and Annisa begin to discuss the issue of Afifa's invitation. Fauzi opened the prefeeding Afifah photo file and began sorting out which photos would be appropriate to put on his invitation.

"Have you been with Salwa for a long time?" Fauzi asked Annisa after they finished discussing the design of Afifah's invitation.

"Hemm good enough, from the beginning we entered the lecture, why??" Ask Annisa back.

"Ah ain't.." Fauzi smiled. "Salwa just looks different than he did back in High School.."

"Hehe Salwa is getting more beautiful now??" Annisa asked while closing her laptop.

"Yes, growing up too.. High School time so much like him, maybe now more.." Fauzi asked as if he was a stale base when he was finding out about Salwa through Annisa.

"obvious.. While in college there were some friends who approached Salwa, but Salwa had no response. Now there are also many work who approach Salwa but Salwa so again, there is no response.."

"Why?"

"You don't know either.. Brother Farhan said he was waiting for someone.. Don't know who he's waiting for.."

"Farhan's? You know Farhan?"

"Yes.. He's my senior brother at college. Wh why? You familiar?"

"Yes.. He was in High School"

"Ah yes I forgot, Salwa once said that kak Farhan was his upperclassman during High School, and just now he said that you are also his upperclassman.. Hem. Though at first I thought Farhan and Salwa was a special relationship because Farhan was very good with Salwa, but it turns out that Farhan's brother is good just because Salwa was his younger class and again Farhan's brother already has a fiancee now.."

"It turns out Annisa knows quite a lot.." Fauzi murmured in the heart.

"Ah what time is it? I still have other work.."

"Yes, because of the preoccupation with talking so forget. Sorry for interrupting your time.."

"Ah no papa.. If so, excuse me.." Annisa said passed..

"Say wait..." Resistant Fauzi.

"Yes??"

"Can I ask for Salwa's number, I can ask for reunion sometime with the three of Farhan" Fauzi said reasoned.

"sure.." Annisa replied while taking out her phone and sending Salwa's contact to Fauzi.

"Thank you.."

Annisa just smiled then passed
