Dear, Soul!!

Closer, More familiar..

Coastal roads are a blessing that God creates with real beauty. I stretched my hand out of the car window, trying to feel the wind that seemed to go against me. I slowly closed my eyes "Beautiful, comfortable" I said in awe.

It's been about 15 minutes, no conversation between us. The continuing awkwardness made me speechless, I didn't know what to say or where to start a conversation from, I didn't even have the courage to even look at it.

"Was the view good??" Farhan asked breaking the silence.

"yes?" I was a little surprised "Ah yes, pretty" I said with a smile.

"Too make a house around here like fun" he asked.

"Yes eru? Isn't it lonely?" ask me back

"Yes make the house do not be alone, ater if you already have a family"

"It's quiet, there's no house here anymore"

"But it's good, there's no negosipin mommy"

"the problem of gossip of the mother was no break. Yes, living here is not horrified they are directly down, but what he said behind.. That's his son Anu lives in a remote place, not-don't be anti-social or maybe there's more to hide.. Well, the name of the mother will not have a break if you want to sign"

"You understand exactly, maybe, maybe you do too" he asked with a small laugh

"no, I'm just looking at the model"

"oh what?" ask her with a slightly soft tone. "So if you want to make a house here, bair not lonely should ngajak se RT move here" he continued.

"that's a hard find to his name" I replied ketus.

"Hahaha" again Farhan laughed which made his eyes smaller.

I just laughed a little.

"Thank you"

I was a little surprised to hear Farhan say thank you.

"Thank you? For?" many confused.

"because it's not awkward anymore with me" he replied, looking at me with a smile.

"oh, hahaha" I laughed with a little stammering "All because of my awkward sister" I continued.

"I'm sorry, I made salwa so it felt bad earlier, I shouldn't have discussed it" he explained.

"Ah, no papa kok brother" I replied.

"heemm.." he let out a long sigh.

" But it's also a relief to have revealed the feeling of being heartened" he said smiling.

"Hehehe" I laughed lightly.

The beach we came to was a little far from the crowd, had to take a few Km to be able to reach the community. So to buy something must go through a long journey.

I was just waiting in the car, waiting until Farhan finished preparing what was needed there. I waited long enough, but yeah it felt like it was much better than having to come back again out to buy something forgotten.

"Ah, why should it be on that beach too anyway?" grumbling..

"emhh, but yes the scenery is unmatched anyway" I thought it changed instantly.

The cell phone I put in the little bag I put in the back seat of the car rang.

"Are you all right, baby?" Fauzi asked from across the phone when I answered.

"Well, why would I?" askaku returned

"yes papa, I'm just worried, the journey from here to there is far dear" he replied worriedly.

"You too have gone a bit later" he continued.

"Yes, said Farhan, buy about what you need to not go back and forth" I replied

"Ah, yes too.. Lah but whatever was bought by Farhan, we will probably spend a month here. 3 or 4 hours will also return"

"don't know either.."

"yeah, the important thing is you don't papa, be careful later on the road, tell Farhan not to speed"

"yes sweetheart"

"Bye baby, I'm waiting for you here"

" Okay, Bye.."

That's how Fauzi was, he always noticed the little things about me, always worried about me and always told me. Fauzi with his attitude like that always made me feel comfortable. It seemed that the words he always mentioned about me that became his top priority were not just words or something he said just because he was used to it. But yes even so, Fauzi sometimes forgets what we will do if there is an appointment. Fauzi is a little forgetful, so he often forgets if we already have an appointment to go out or even to just stop by the house to bring what I ask. Apart from that, Fauzi never forgot to pay attention to me and give me news if the time allows...

"Without phone?" farhan asked a little to surprise me while getting into the car.

"the gang?.. Ah, yes" I replied.

"Fauzi?" ask while starting to drive.

"Yes"

"Why? Afraid I'm gonna run?"

"Haha no, Fauzi always nelfon if you know I'm on the road again"

"The boy, the model is not karu-karena, cuek stupid so it turns out attention as well"

"Hahaha yes"

"Salwa should be grateful to be chosen with Fauzi"

"meaning?" ask me confused

"What Fauzi likes is not a little, from the beginning we as new students already there are several upperclassmen who like Fauzi, not a few who have real feelings" explained Farhan.

"And it continues until we are second class" he continued.

"Your generation of friends also have some who have been in love with Fauzi" he continued.

"Are you serious, brother?" I was surprised

"That's it.. It's natural for a kid like Fauzi. He's handsome, white and tall, a basketball leader and former chairman of Osis" he said

"Not yet, as you know. Fauzi is cheerful, friendly and humorous.. He's pretty good at making dry teeth if he's sitting with him"

"Haha brother is exaggerated"

"Excessive? When you didn't realize Fauzi was like that"

"Hehe is.." I smiled down for a moment.

"Heem... It's hard to deny people like Fauzi" he said with a long sigh.

"My opponent is heavy as it turns out, hahaha" He continued with a slight laugh.

I just laughed back.

"Aware of this, it makes me a little relieved.. Well, at least the woman I like isn't wrong with her choice. Choosing a man who is clearly better than me, it makes me a little more sincere" he said with a smile.

I just smiled back. I don't know, I don't think I have the words to connect the conversation.

"But salwa.."

"Yes?" I answered spontaneously while looking at him.

"I'm close to you, right?" he asked while looking back at me.

"yes, you can dong sis.." Answer smiled. He smiled back.

"Please don't be awkward or awkward anymore. I realized that Salwa always kept her distance and gave me the same wall. I know, Salwa doesn't want me to feel uncomfortable. But Salwa, now don't be like that anymore, I'm fine now. I want us to talk ungainly and throw jokes at each other without any hesitation" Farhan explained

"Yes, brother" I replied smiling.

"If you have something to tell you, you can also tell me, you need something to ask me for help. Want to know more about Fauzi can also ask me. Especially if you want to ngegosipin Fauzi, wah it can be really, hahaha" said Farhan with a laugh.

"Haha okay brother" I replied with a light laugh as well.

Looking at Farhan, his expression had already become calmer than before.

Well, it ends up like this. The worry about the awkwardness that would occur between me and Farhan during the trip was not as bad as what I was worried about. Everything made me even more relieved. Farhan turned out to be quite able to make the awkwardness between us become lost.

Well, I'm relieved.. I don't have to feel awkward meeting Fauzi when Farhan is around. I no longer have to keep my distance or keep my actions around Fauzi and Farhan. And what's even more comforting, I was able to tell stories and chat freely with Farhan without having to fear the wrong speech that made Farhan feel uncomfortable.

Well, I'm happy..

The return trip becomes more relaxed than the trip when leaving, the sun that begins to sink changes its color to more orange and reflects its light in the sea adds to the beauty of the scenery.

"Oh the power of God that allows us to see the beauty of nature like this" I said in my heart with admiration.
