Dear, Soul!!

Just Me..

As I expected, the meeting finished early because of the costume references I provided. Other friends can save time and complete other work.

I walked out with the other friends.

"Ckckck Romeo waited for Juliet to fall asleep.."

I looked over, I saw Fauzi still waiting for me sitting down and asleep. He seems quite exhausted.

"Hmmm.. So envious of Salwa, want dong anyone waitin too.." Said a friend with a bit of a complain.

I'm just smiling.

"Yaudah, we go first, Samperin, your sleeping babang.."

"Okay. careful.." Excruciate. The other friends passed by while waving their hands.

I approached Fauzi, sitting next to him. I saw the look on her face that was sleeping quietly, very shady and sweet.

"I'm sorry Ozi, if you give me a hard time.." I said slowly.

I didn't want to wake her, didn't want to disturb her sleep. I grabbed my phone and played it while waiting for Fauzi to wake up. After all, only half four in the afternoon, there were still many students wandering around the school, just let Fauzi rest for a while.

The 30-minute hose passed.

"emhhhhh..." Fauzi woke up from his sleep. He tried to wake himself from his sleep.

"Salvah? Is the meeting over?"

"Yes" I answered smiling.

"Old old?"

"About 30 minutes ago.."

"Well, why didn't you wake me up?"

"You slept well.."

"I'm gonna make you wait for me to sleep, baby.."

"No papa, there's still an hour and two left when the school closes.."

"Sorry for making you wait for me to sleep.."

I looked at Fauzi.

"I'm sorry baby, I made you wait for me to fall asleep.."

"Grandfather, emhh... So this is going straight home or where else?"

"I'm still lazy to go home, no one else is home.."

"Jaudah let's go.."

"You don't have any photography today?"

"I'm delaying, there's one more location left and the wedding is still two months ahead, so it can be postponed first" he explained

"Because of me??" My toot.

I felt a little guilty that Fauzi had to put his job on hold just because of me..

"Jiaahh. pede bangett...." Answer it while laughing.

"Then??"

"For me alone, who wants to put me to work.."

"Yes but it's because of me, right?"

"Don't you, 'cause I'm the one with you today.."

"Really?" My question is convincing.

"Yes.. I miss you.." Said smiling. I smiled back.

"Jude, where are you going?" Ask.

"eat? I'm hungry.."

"Jude ayoo.." He said while holding my hand. I'm just following.

"Do you want me to bring the bag?"

"No, it's not heavy.." My answer.

***

I sat on the bench in the garden while waiting for Fauzi who was shopping at a nearby supermarket. After eating earlier, even though the stomach is full but still it feels incomplete if it does not close with something sweet-sweet, although my smile is sweet but it will need to multiply the sweet taste with ice cream.

Fauzi ran small while carrying a plastic bag containing 2 pots of ice cream.

"You're home alone?" Fauzi asked while tasting the chocolate mixed vanilla ice cream he bought earlier.

"It must have been lonely.."

"That's why I'm lazy to go home.."

"Jude, play with me first.."

"You come later.."

"Where?"

"Ke Hall Kotalah, Daddy's with Mom nothing to encourage me to race later, so you have to come.."

"Yes come baby, Daddy and Mom there is also I will always come, especially if Mom and Dad are not there"

"Oh yeah, really..." I said make sure.

Fauzi nodded while stroking my head.

"Darling..."

"Heem..." The answer.

"You. You don't have anything else, do you?" Ask doubt.

Uhuukk uhuukkk.

"What did you ask?" Ask to confirm my question and try to take a breath after coughing because of the ice cream was sucked. Her eyes are red.

"Sorry..." I said looking down, seeing that Fauzi's expression made me feel guilty, it seemed that Fauzi was so surprised I asked like that, after all I asked like that, I should be able to tell just by looking at Fauzi's treatment of me.

Fauzi.

"What's wrong? Why are you asking me that?"

I just fell silent.

"Is there something you're worried about?" Ask again.

I just nodded slowly. Fauzi tightened his embrace.

"Don't think like that anymore, whatever the reason don't think like that anymore. Throw away all your worries like that, I don't want unimportant thoughts like that to bother you" he explained.

Slowly my eyes began to glaze over.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for my behavior that made you think like that"

I'm shaking. "Son, I'm the one who thinks of such an obscure thing.."

"Stt.. don't talk like that.." He said while taking off his embrace.

My tears slowly trickled. Fauzi helped me wipe it out."Same story me, why until you think like that.. Let me know, so I can correct my behavior, so you don't think about things like this anymore.."

I'm shaking.

"Darling.." Fauzi raised my face, "Look at me..!!" I slowly looked at him."Tell me, my behavior is like what makes you think like this, I will not change my behavior if I do not know.."

"I. that.. Lately I've been talking to you, but you're still good to me. I mean you, but you are still good, still friendly talk, still love me. A.. I thought you had something else and just pretended to be good with me.."

Fauzi laughed..

"I'm sorry, there's no reason for me to be angry if you're so ignorant, there's no reason for me to be no longer good with you if you're not good with me.. I love you, as much as I want to be angry, but my love is bigger which makes me will not be able to be angry with you dear.. Yes already.. Don't think about things like that anymore. What I do for you is simply because I love you, because I love you, because I want you to. I do not intentionally want to be kind to continue with you, but because it is my heart that forces me to make it constantly good with you. Because I love you, baby.."

It felt so moved to hear Fauzi say that.

"I'm sorry it's like you.."

"Son, you have a good idea too, so you don't keep guessing, don't keep thinking weird"

I'm just smiling.

"So this is why you were crying this afternoon?"

I nodded..

"Haha.. Oh, my God, baby.. Whose girlfriend is this??"Fauzi grabbed me and hugged me.

"You're so funny, so sweet. strange thinking to jealousy is not clear this way.."

"I'm just worried.."

Fauzi tightened his embrace.

"I love you Salwa, the slightest intention in my mind for others is not there, you are full of my whole heart, just you, you again and there is only you in my heart.. I don't know how I feel about you, which you should know I love you and have no intention to worry about you let alone replace you with others.."

I returned Fauzi's tight hug.

"Me too.." My answer.

"I'm glad you're jealous like this, this proves that you love me.." Fauzi said smilingly. I just smiled back
