Dear, Soul!!

Carin

Fauzi was still sitting with the woman who recognized him even though he could not remember who she was.

The outline that Fauzi knows about the woman, is only a director from a well-known company who is willing to cooperate with the company he is running , and now meet to discuss some things before the cooperation.

“Seeing you who do not remember me, even when I have introduced myself, makes me realize that my presence in your previous life was really not memorable”. Like a special shot directed at Fauzi about his memory so shallow of himself.

“Maaf” I don't know how many times Fauzi repeated his apology.

“At first I wanted to understand. But it seems like I was really disappointed when you still don't remember me, even when I mentioned my name.”.

Fauzi just kept looking at him, still trying to gather his memories in the past, if only a little could be terbesit about the woman who was disappointed with the memory of Fauzi who was so weak.

“Ah is already.. Wiggling you try hard to remember me, the more it makes me sick. I am like a beggar to be remembered for you. Yes despite the fact that, ha ha ha” His laughter sounded loud even though his expression showed how disappointed he was for Fauzi who did not remember it.

The two began to enjoy the dishes available in front of them. Not many words came out of the two until they finally finished breakfast together.

The woman who was not so foreign to Fauzi, although she did not recognize him, began to discuss the points of work concerned about the cooperation that would take place. The introduction of their respective companies and some light discussion that is still concerned with work problems. Until finally after passing the time of almost two hours, both finally ended the discussion of the work.

Fauzi began tidying up some of the documents he brought earlier and he was open to be shown to his coworkers from different companies.

“Before I apologized for having a meeting this morning. Ah, we'll see you and discuss work issues outside of your working hours.”

“Nothing” replied Fauzi smiling and understanding.

Yes his partner has a company that is quite large, obviously the time is very crowded, so arranging a meeting schedule must be difficult for him. Fauzi was very grateful because he was given the opportunity to meet in the midst of the dense activities of his client.

“I have an appointment out of town today too, and some work I have to finish there. I'm leaving at noon, so I took an appointment to see you early in the morning. Because I do not know when I returned from out of town, I was curious to see you who now”

The sweet smile that had soared on Fauzi's lips, which he showed as hospitality to his interlocutor, instantly became a little awkward after hearing the last sentence that the woman had thrown.

“Ha ha ha sorry, I have no other intention. I just haven't really cared about you in a long time, so I wonder what all the girls in school were like. Yes I have to admit, even at your age who is not a teenager anymore, you still look handsome and look young”.

Fauzi only responded with a smile. Again Fauzi tried to gather his memories about the woman in front of him. A woman who seemed to recognize him so deeply in the past.

Am I contracting Salwa's senile virus now? Or is it my age who has entered the range to become senile?

“Hem.. Looking at your view, it seems you still do not remember me.” His complaint.

Repeatedly the woman expressed her disappointment to Fauzi who still could not remember her.

Fauzi only smiled wryly, then lowered his head in regret at his current unfriendly memory.

“Actually I'm a little embarrassed about this, but I think only this can make you remember me..”

Fauzi looked at her waiting for the next word that would come out of the thin lips covered in nude color lipstick had the woman sitting in front of her.

“I'm Karin, the upperclassman who shot you in high school. Well, who desperately shot you even though you already knew that you had a boyfriend at that time. Maybe I'm the only one who shot you even though you already know you already have” Obviously, trying to evoke Fauzi's memory of him. “Ck, it feels shameful to discuss this.” He complained with a smrik smile while throwing his face away. It seemed like it was really an embarrassing story for him.

Fauzi continued to remember, until finally slowly his cornea widened indicating, the memory that had been digalahinya had finally met as well.

“Ah sister Karin.. Sorry sorry, I really can't remember earlier”

Fauzi really needs the help of a little nyetric spark to be able to bring his memory back.

Yes, naturally, Fauzi was difficult to remember the woman who was sitting with disappointment in front of him. How not, other than because their interaction during school was not so often, also because of the appearance of adult, feminine and beautiful Karin now, much different from the old. Plus wrapped in a shirt and skirt span that shows the slim body, increasingly make it look charming.

“Finally you remember also”

“It's okay. Just stop calling me by calling Kak, Fauzi. You're getting clear about my old age”

“Ah no, no, I do not mean so” Sela Fauzi denied the assumption of Karin, the woman he had remembered.

Karin smiled at Fauzi's behavior, who did not want to make him misunderstand his words.

“How are you? Ah, it's funny how it feels to just ask the news that we've been sitting together here” two hours

“I'm good, sister.. Ah I mean how are you?”

“Yes as you can see, I'm fine. Moreover, since I have seen you now, I am getting better than the previous”

Whether it was a temptation or just a joke from a senior at his junior in high school sitting first. Fauzi did not take Karin seriously.

“Don't you, the father of the friend you were referring to earlier, is his father Farhan?”

Fauzi nodded in agreement to Karin's question.

“Iya, benar”

“Then Farhan now where?”

“He is also here, now helping his father take care of his father's parent company”

"Help His Father? Why not be a director at his father's other company?"

"Because Farhan is a Pharmacy, so he continues to do activities that are in accordance with his profession"

“Wah, hearing you discuss Farhan, it looks like you guys are still as good friends as you used to”

“He he he yes, nothing has changed between me and Farhan. We are still as we used to”

“I feel envious of your friendship”

Yes, Fauzi did not deny, the envy one has towards his friendship with Farhan is a natural thing for him. How not, their relationship is still good even though the time has been decades, even after their relationship was hit by a storm as a teenager.

“What Farhan has a family now?”

“Yes, Farhan is Dad now. You must be surprised to know who Farhan”'s wife is

“Who?” Smooth forehead even though wrapped with a thin foundation is wrinkled, showing him who is quite curious.

“Nina. My first class sister.”

“Nina?? Class brother who is two levels below me?? That kind of cuckoo?? Which everywhere is the same Salwa??”

“Iya” Fauzi replied.

“Wah.. A soul mate really no one knows.”

A surprised and slightly disbelieving expression emanated on Karin's face. His mouth half gaping in a few seconds, when knowing the facts presented by Fauzi.

The two became dissolved in their conversation. A conversation that feels warm and familiar, like a friend who just met again after a long time never knew the news.
