The next morning, Ana was as usual about to leave for work. Just like usual, Ana meets Raskal.
“You want me to drop off, An?” ask Raskal.
Not until Ana answers an offer from Raskal, suddenly...
“Kak Ana, wait!” shout Aira.
Ana did not answer Raskal's offer and Raskal was distracted by the sound of Aira's screams.
“Habits with kids. Always mess up the mood.” Raskal grunts but can still be heard by Ana.
Ana smiled at Raskal's expression that looked badmood in an instant.
At the same time, Aira was approaching Ana and Raskal was standing.
“What's up, Aira?” ask Ana.
“Kak Ana... hmm... gini.. sister got greetings from senior sister at my school.” Said Aira panting as a result of her running.
“Greetings?! Senior brother?! Meaning?” asked Ana who failed to understand Aira's words.
“Iya. So here's the story, brother. The other day, my sister came with me to get my school report card in exchange for a representative from my parents who were away. Well... back then, it turned out that the senior brother in the organization that I followed was looking at big brother.” Aira.
For the record that this Aira is still sitting in the 2nd class of SMU.
“Owh. But wait a minute. You mean senior brother is your upperclassman?” ask Ana.
“Can be said like that anyway, brother. But he graduated. Maybe if I don't remember wrong it's almost the same age as big brother.” Aira.
“Owh. So. Yes thank you for greeting.” Ana.
“Iya, sis. Aira will convey. But..” Aira's speech is not continued.
“But what else, Aira?” ask Ana.
“But he also asked for sister's mobile number, can I give you, sis?” ask Aira for permission.
Ana was finally silent for a moment, then said, “Don't, Aira. Don't be in love.”
“Why, Brother?” ask Aira wonder.
“It's okay, Aira. Don't let me love you, yes. Plis.” Ana.
Hearing Ana's words, Aira was unable to force. Since Aira knew, there might be a reason behind the ban.
“O is already. Aira understands. Oh yes, brother. Aira go first. Aira has made an agreement with a friend to leave with.” Pamit Aira's.
“Oh yes already then. You be careful on the road.” Ana.
When Aira had gone away, Raskal said, “You why, Na?”
“Why what, Ras?” ask back to Ana who was confused by what Raskal meant.
“Why don't you let Aira tell your number to her senior sister?” ask Raskal.
“No, Race. I don't want to. I've had a hard time opening my heart again.” Said Ana.
“But why, An?” ask Raskal.
“That's because of the incident about my parents and also the people I used to know. They all let me down. They are always two-faced. The other in front of me was also the other behind me. I don't like. Better like this. Freer. No problems and no burden. You and Aira are my friends. I don't want anything else.” Ana.
“An, sorry. It's not that I don't want you to make friends, but that I and Aira can't stay with you all the time. I don't want when you're sad and need us, we can't go with you. Please An. Open hearts. Get to know people out there.” Raskal begged a little.
“Hai, An. Wanna go where? Don't want me to drive you?” raskal asked while shouting.
Ana did not answer. He paid no heed to the screams of Raskal calling out to him.
“An, if only you knew I was like this because I care about you.” Said Raskal who then rode his motorcycle.
At the same time, but in a different place...
“Bu.. Arief left first. Assalamu’alaikum.” Said Arief in a tone more excited than usual.
“Wa’alaikumsalam. Tumben tuh percaya.” Mother said astonished.
“Sedang fell in love times, bu.” Said Raskal's father from nyeletuk.
“What?! In love?! Don't let dad. If Arief falls in love with another woman, what about our promise to the Kinan family? We've agreed to match them both.” Say mother with worry.
“Already, mom. How else. Arief has grown up, we can no longer manage his life. Moreover, this concerns the issue of feelings and hearts.” Father say.
“Can't be so, yeah. The promise is fixed, yeah. Anyway we have to speed up their engagement before Arief finds the person he likes.” Said Arief's mother.
“Iya.. yes. Whatever your mother says, deh.” Said the resigned father with the stubborn nature of his mother.
***
After a while, Arief arrived at the office. He did not know what his mother had planned for his future life companion.
He is living his day as usual.
“Rief, how was last night? Did you contact the person who sent the wrong message?” faisal asked as he met Arief at the office entrance.
“I didn't contact him, Sal. But last night he sent me a message first.” Arief.
“Oh so. Have you guys been acquainted?” faisal asked which made Arief stop his steps for a moment.
“Eh, why suddenly stop?” faisal asked confused.
“Sal, I forgot to ask what his name is.” Arief.
“What?! How can you forget to ask?! What were you talking about last night in Messages?” ask Faisal.
“Ya... she initially only sent an apology message and I answered with a response that was okay. That's it already. After that we did not continue our message chat.” Arief.
“Yes geez... Ariefs... You are that, yes. Forgive me.” Said Faisal who was completely inexhaustible with the attitude of Arief, his friend.
“Why, Sal? Something is wrong, huh?” arief asked who really made Faisal who heard him become annoyed.
“Oneng basic. Ask everything else if something is wrong. Something is wrong, Oneng. Everywhere, people if they meet new acquaintances, they must ask for names. Don't you wonder what that guy is? What don't you want to go on, get in touch with that guy? Who knows if he's your soul mate, Rief. We don't know.” Faisal said at length to make Faisal pause for a moment.
“Ya already, Sal. Try it later tonight I call him again and ask him what his name is.” Arief.
“Well it donk. Watch out if you don't.” Threat Faisal.
“Iya. yes... very chatty anyway, so people.” Arief.
“Biarin.” Faisal Sahut.
They finally arrived at their respective workspaces and started their work as usual.
Ok. next again...
