Dear, Soul!!

Azka's Family

Sasa is caught up in Azika's invitation, Azka's older sister. He could not avoid it much less refuse. Azika's hand was already coiled in Sasa's arm, and pulled him into the house.

The awkwardness was hit Sasa, he was confused what kind of expression and how to respond to this situation, even though he had known Azka for a long time, but this was the first time he had set foot in Azka's house, which made him even more clumsy.

Sasa only lowered his head as Azika's steps continued to be led into the house, it felt so embarrassed to look at the other residents in the house at this time.

“Azka is back Ika?” Her mother asked her without turning her head and remained busy cutting some of the vegetables they were going to cook today.

Sasa raised his face to hear the voice of the woman giving and motherhood, for a moment there was a longing to approach the figure of a mother.

“Already Ma, just kecantol front of the fence for chatting with gian”

His mother turned her head, and was a little surprised to find Sasa who had joined them.

“This is Azka, Ma. The one who was chatting with Azka outside until Azka forgot to enter”

Sasa showed his sweet smile even though he was a little awkward. How not, he was still dragged in without knowing anything and without any preparation.

“Ah beautiful, whose name is Nak?”

“Sasa, Bu”

“Eh Sasa anyway, hehe I invited him in earlier, but I don't know his name” Azika smiled smirkily considering his behavior just now.

“How are you doing Ika? Not polite like that”

“Yes I'm a greget, Ma. Azka just chat, not invited to enter when we again collect”

“Pardon Ika the Nak, she is indeed like that”

Sasa just nodded with a smile, although he still felt very uncomfortable suddenly joined in.

“You're Azka's boyfriend?”

“Eh?” Sasa was surprised to get such a sudden and slightly sensitive question.

“Not, Ma” replied Azka who immediately mingled with them after returning from storing the hodie she was wearing when she came out.

“Terus?”

“Temen work, Ma. I work with him, and his house is also in the area. Sana” end

“Oh, Mama thought your girlfriend Ka.”

“Tu Code Ka” Azika Chirps.

“What the hell? You guys make Sasa uncomfortable if the thing is like gini” said Azka with a little annoyed.

Sasa looked back at Azka who looked uncomfortable with the question that her mother threw at Sasa, also clearly felt bad for bringing Sasa along to mingle with her family that Sasa did not recognize.

The other side of Azka that Sasa just saw today is, Azka who looks like a child if she is with her mother and sister. Because all this time the image that Azka showed to Sasa, was he who was a mature man with a broad mind and very caring.

“Sorry son, if you feel uncomfortable.”

“Ti-it's okay Bu”

It didn't take long for Sasa to blend in with the Azka family. The Azka family that is harmonious and warm is very comfortable for Sasa. His mother who is very motherly makes Sasa feel as a child, also Azka's father who is not much ignorant with Azka's older sister. And another one, the 10-year-old boy she knew was Azka's niece, very sweet and cute.

Time passed, and the night began to come. The Azka family get-together that drew Sasa into it, finally ended. Azka's parents and older sister finally decided to go home.

“Nak, if you need anything, just contact Azka to help you.”

“Yes, Bu” replied Sasa by showing his sweet smile.

“Sasa son of the people Well, how do you want to take it,” scolds Azika who is carrying her sleeping son.

“Dad only offers.”

“Iya yes.. It's there you guys are back. It's late at night, not the same as Revano who has fallen asleep”

“Yes anyway if bored here, Sasa just follow the same Azka”

“Iya Sir.” Sasa replied smiling.

The Azka family passed by, Sasa ushered them with his gaze.

“Sa, sorry for today.”

Azka expressed her unease, when her family had passed. Azka really felt bad for making Sasa suddenly join her family

Sasa turned to look at Azka, who really looked at him.

“Nothing Ka” Sasa smile. “I even thank you for being invited to join your family” event

“I know you are uncomfortable and feel bad earlier”

“Yes, it was originally like that. But I enjoyed it for a long time. I'm really grateful, I haven't had a long family like this”

The sweet smile that Sasa had always shown, turned into a smile that contained its own meaning of sadness. Yes, Sasa who already has no parents, clearly felt moved after feeling the kinship given by the Azka family earlier. Sasa used to live only with his uncle, but after his uncle had children he decided to live independently and did not want to trouble his uncle again.

“Because of your family too, I so forget for a moment the same thing that happened to me last afternoon”

Sasa recalled his sudden encounter with Faiq, which made him keep trying to realize that the meeting was not a dream.

“Today? What the hell is going on? Didn't you meet your friend this afternoon?”

“Yes, but I didn't expect anything else to happen”

Azka looked at Sasa in confusion, not understanding what was meant by the woman with round eyes who took a sitting position in front of him.

“You remember my first love I ever told you??”

There was an unpleasant feeling that started approaching Azka. Although Sasa had not told him, but he could already guess the things that Sasa would likely tell.

“Iya, why is she the same?”

“I met him today”

Degs.. The thing Azka had expected turned out to be true. Since Sasa had told him about Faiq, Azka had always hoped that Faiq would not appear again in front of Sasa until later the woman who had recently inhabited his heart, he could feel the sincerity he had been giving. Azka hoped that many Sasa would be able to forget about Faiq and turn around feeling his sincerity, but today it seemed like the hope he had had had collapsed. Sasa had been reunited with the man he had loved all along.

“To-meet him? Whereabouts? How can?”

“Yes, destiny is truly God's secret. Apparently, the person who will replace my position is Faiq. I was also very surprised earlier, I had to wake myself up if this is not a dream”

“Ja-so? You guys?”

“Yes we talked about a few things. I so know the reason he who suddenly lost that time” Sasa said showing his smile. Yes, Sasa felt a little relieved after knowing the reason Faiq had left him.

During this time, Sasa was always confused whenever his memory touched on Faiq who left him with no strings attached and for no reason, also without any news after. But today, all her confusion was answered and again, the feeling of love she had for Faiq to this day, was still reciprocated. The man she loved still let herself reign in her heart, still the same as before.

Seeing Sasa's smile, Azka became increasingly aware of the possibility of feeling Sasa was getting smaller. The more he has no room in Sasa's heart, the more he can't reach the woman he loves.

Azka tried to show her smile and hide the wound she had just gotten. Desperation and disappointment also he hid deeply, did not want Sasa who began to be engrossed in telling him about today, feel uncomfortable if he showed what he felt.

Sasa began to tell a story about what happened this afternoon, a sweet smile occasionally mingled in the story when Sasa felt happiness when remembering what happened this afternoon. As for Azka, just listen to Sasa's story and respond as if her feelings are fine now.
