Dear, Soul!!

Fayq & Sasa (1)

A meeting so sudden for Sasa, and a planned meeting for Faiq. Even though Faiq had prepared himself for this meeting, he still continued to feel nervous. Probably more nervous than Sasa.

It was so difficult for Faiq to take his eyes off Sasa. The woman he loved so much, somehow still looks young and beautiful even though the time has passed many years. Making his feelings more and more so by wanting to go back to having the round-eyed woman, completely.

Yes, Faiq realized the truth of Fauzi's words a few days ago, about him who would not easily limit his feelings in order to not fall so far in love for Sasa. Because the reality he was facing right now was, the feeling of love he had was flaring even more after Sasa was present before his eyes.

Fauzi took a sitting position next to Faiq, because it would be very awkward if the one beside Faiq was Salwa, while he will make Sasa in an uncomfortable state if sitting next to his former lover who he has not met for a long time. But still, the position of Faiq who sat in front of Sasa, was able to make Sasa become silent and silent and without prominent movements.

“So where have you been?” Tanya Fauzi is still playing her role in the scenario she has already put together with Faiq.

Faiq, who was asked a question from Fauzi, was shocked and turned his eyes away. He still stole a glance to be able to see Sasa who was now sitting in front of him. It felt like his eyeball had a magnet on Sasa, which made him unable to take his eyes off the woman sitting sweetly in front of him at the moment.

“Not far, but not near also” replied Faiq, back glancing at Sasa. There was no reaction there, making Faiq wonder about what was on Sasa's mind at the moment.

“What are you talking about??”

“Haha, the point is I'm here now. You yourself how is your life? Ah sure you are very happy huh, because Salwa is now completely yours”

Fauzi just smiled shyly like a cat who had just been on the soft elus of his head.

“Salwa, take good care of your husband. She is like a child once, loves to cry wailing just because she misses you again.” Faiq said to Salwa. He tried to look relaxed, but the fact is, his heart is now rumbling.

Salwa just smiled.

“Your wife looks prettier than the previous one, just as beautiful as the woman who had just been silent without a sound, beside your wife.” Faiq said to Fauzi with a smile that could not be explained his point, but clearly from his words, he was offending his former lover who was right since then just speechless.

“We've met before?” Salwa asked staring fixedly at Faiq. A confused expression was clearly visible on Salwa's face.

Faiq turned his head, whose gaze had been directed at Fauzi, now turned to look at Salwa.

Faiq looked at Salwa for a moment. His memory plays with what Fauzi once told him about his wife who had an eraser in her head so that she could easily forget things that had happened to him before.

“You don't remember me??”

Although Faiq knew of Salwa's condition, he still questioned his existence in Salwa's memory. He knew it was very unlikely that Salwa could remember it, because a few years ago, they only met once.

Salwa shook her head, then set her eyes on her beloved husband sitting right in front of her.

Fauzi smiled as two beautiful eyes belonging to his wife, directed at him. Fauzi understood that his wife, who needed more explanation from him, needed him to tell her who the men were now at the same table with him and to speak as if they were close friends.

“Sayang.. He's Faiq, my friend from when I was in college. You also met him”

“Ohh.” Salwa nodded her head in understanding what Fauzi had said, no longer questioning Faiq.

Faiq did not take his eyes off Salwa, he was a little surprised to see Salwa who no longer remembered him. Although he knew about Salwa's current condition, he still felt very surprised when Slawa directly showed the situation he had now to Faiq.

“Faiq, forgive Salwa who cannot remember you. It's not that he doesn't want to remember you, it's just that he is currently suffering from love.”

“Fauzi.” Cut Sasa in a slightly firm tone, making Faiq spontaneously turn to look at Sasa.

There was a warning look in Sasa's eyes that he showed Fauzi.

How could this husband forget such an important thing that he shouldn't have told his wife.

“Don't say anything here.” Sasa continued, while glancing at Salwa who was sitting beside him with a confused expression of what he was doing in the middle of Fauzi and Faiq's chat.

“What's Sasa?”

“Nothing” replied Sasa smiling.

This was the first sentence that came out from Sasa's beautiful lips. Faiq's longing grew increasingly irregular after hearing Sasa's voice. A voice he had not heard for a long time.

“Your voice is still the same, your beauty is still the same, but not in your manner of speech and behavior. Yes you are an adult now, no longer a student”

“Ah.. Sorry” Fauzi said as she realized Sasa's reprimand through her gaze.

Fauzi was too late to play his role in the drama he was running with Faiq. He even barely mentioned Salwa's disease right in the woman he loved so much. He almost got himself in trouble, if only he didn't get a reprimand from Sasa.

“Ah I am sorry, there seems to be something I should not ask” said Faiq smiled knot then lowered his head for a moment.

The atmosphere became awkward. Faiq was speechless, while Sasa who was indeed from the beginning was silent was increasingly silent. Fauzi was confused about how this awkwardness, he himself had to explain some things that his wife asked from earlier, making him not have time to think of a way to stop the awkward condition with a fairly heavy pressure. A very unpleasant atmosphere.

“Director of the company that is working with me that why come late huh?”

Fauzi tried to stop this very unpleasant atmosphere, he again tried to withdraw Faiq's desire to speak. I don't know what because, so Faiq who was talking was fine, then, now it became silent and only the occasional smile saw Salwa nodding whenever she understood what Fauzi had explained from the questions Salwa had asked before.

“Yes, maybe he has an obstacle to arrive here.”

The two of them got back to the drama they were playing. Obviously Karin has not arrived at this time, because the promise Fauzi made to Karin is an hour from now. A trick to buy longer so that Faiq can enjoy the moments can see Sasa.

“How are you?” Tanya Faiq started his talk to Sasa. He looked at Sasa deeply, impatiently waiting for Sasa to respond to his question.

“Baik” replied Sasa briefly, staring at the opponent talking for a moment, giving a sweet smile and returning to avert his eyes.

“Thank God. I also hope you are well continue”

“Thanks.”

Although accompanied by a smile, but Sasa's short answer was able to give his own pain to Faiq's feelings. But the pain Faiq felt, did not undo his intention to pull Sasa back in his chat.

“What's your activity now??”

“I work as a nurse in one of the hospitals here”

“Thank God, you are no longer just a nurse student who is busy advising me about health” Faiq said with a smile. His words contained a desire to reminisce about the past together.

Once again, Sasa only responded with a smile, leaving Faiq confused, what else to look like in order for his chatter to continue with Sasa.

“Is there nothing you want to ask me?”

Sasa raised his head, looking at Faiq who was currently looking at him fixedly. Faiq's question just now seemed to give him a chance to question all the things that caused them to be in the current state.

But an opportunity that Sasa could not use. Previously, Sasa had thousands of questions that wanted answers from Faiq for what he did to him. But now, when Faiq was already in front of his eyes, he was at a loss to ask what, even to say anything, he was at a loss.

“Ask what?” Ask Sasa back.

“Anything, something you might want to know from me”

“Something like what??” Ask Sasa again repeating Faiq's question.

Faiq simply smiled and averted his gaze.

“Are you not curious about anything about me? At least as I'm doing”

“Seeing you wearing a suit stellan with such a handsome face, I guess your news is fine”

Faiq smiled slightly, holding his lips back from smiling wider at the handsome word Sasa was addressing for him. That one word was able to make his heart seem to be in the spring, filled with flowers.

But for a moment he realized, Sasa's disinterest about him. Just imagine, regarding the news Sasa was reluctant to ask and only judge by what he saw at this time.

“My news doesn't interest you in knowing. Why?”

“What's the reason? I have no reason to know you”

Jleeb.. Sasa's reply struck once, giving a shot that hit directly the heart of Faiq.

“You hate me?”

Dahi Sasa frowned upon getting a sudden question from Faiq.

“You think like that about me??”

The conversation between the two began to heat up, making Fauzi confused to respond to what between them. Until Fauzi chose to let them solve the problems that they would need to discuss four points only.

“Eng.. Anu's.. I'll take Salwa around here waiting for our co-workers to come. You guys talk first.”

“I follow” Sasa get up from his seat.

“Ah no-no, I think there are things you should talk about with Faiq”

“No” Reply Sasa briefly.

“But I have”

Faiq stared fixedly at Sasa.

“Many things I want to talk to you about. So please stay here”

Sasa turned to look at Faiq, who was already staring at him first
