Destiny Love Rianti

10. Friend but friendly

The morning air was cold, the drops of water blessed from the sky yet there were also no signs of subsiding. Puddles after puddles began to form in the courtyard of the house.

I laid out an electric blue umbrella patterned with quite large leaves. Walk a little quickly to the car parked in the yard. There was waiting for the children and Ani's mother who was holding a baby Zeezee, while baby Syaqila I sat in the Car Seat next to Ani's mother.

Under the rain, I drove a white Avanza Veloz. Accompanied by Islamic songs from the nasyid group Edcoustik.

O owner of my life

How weak I am

The weight of your tests

I've given all to You

God Strengthen me

Protect me from despair

If I have to die

Find me with You

Love words Beautiful spoken

Flowing with remembrance in the nose of my prayer

The pain I think will be my antidote

Grain of love My tears

Remember all you gave me

Forgive the Khilaf and the wrong During this Yes Divine

Muhasabah.

Song by song Edcoustik accompanied our journey. There were children singing along, while my twins were seen moving their bodies like they were rocking. Smiles and laughter accompanied our trip this morning.

Twelve minutes of travel we took to get in front of Fatih's school. Quickly I opened the car door and took the umbrella. Then opened the car door behind the wheel, and immediately helped Fatih to get off.

Together we stepped towards the gates of Fatih's school. There was waiting for the warmly smiling female teacher Fatih to welcome us. Before entering Fatih kissed the back of my hand and I slapped a kiss on her tiny forehead.

After making sure Fatih had actually entered the school, I rushed to the car. Scroll the watch on my right hand, there's still twenty minutes left before the clock comes to work. I drove my car to the Hafizh clinic. It's not too far from Fatih's school, so I'm not worried about being late.

The heavy rain still fell with his martyrdom. The cold pierced the skin until it pierced the bone. I slowed down the car a little, because the rain made my vision a little disturbed. Right at the crossroad I was surprised by the presence of a luxury car Porsche tiger silver that appeared suddenly.

Brruu.

The collision was inevitable. Because if I hit the steering wheel then my car will go into a big enough got.

"Astagfirullahhaazim, astagfirullahhaazim," I muttered with a slightly trembling body.

"Bak Ani and the kids are okay, right?" I asked while looking back.

"Alhamdulillah is okay Ma'am," replied Mbak Ani who looked a little tense.

"Syamil, it's okay, right?" I asked Syamil who was sitting next to me. Lucky I didn't forget to put my seat belt on him.

"I'm aik ummi" said the almost two-year-old.

Thank God everything is fine. The luxury car had not yet moved from the front of my car. The owner of the car opened the door to get out. The jet black umbrella covered the body of a well-dressed man typical of office people.

I took off the seat belt that was attached to my body. Want to get out of the car to apologize to the man who is now looking at the front of his luxury car that seems scuffed.

"Sorry sir, I didn't intentionally. I was shocked because the father's car appeared suddenly from the left of the intersection" I said to the man who was still behind me.

"Oh yeah, it's okay mbak, it's also my fault for not honking first" the man said as he straightened his body.

Slowly the man faced me. For a moment we met. Throwing one another a look. Remembering the memories of decades.

"Mulettes?" Greet the man in front of me.

"Dafa? Dafa Raihan?" I answered with a slightly happy face.

Dafa Raihan, a man who is good at combing until the woman hit him.

Dafa Raihan, former chairman of my OSIS from First High School to High School.

Dafa Raihan, my best male friend from first grade Junior High. My competition in terms of class champion. My opponent in the class election. And my rival in academia during Junior High.

Dafa Raihan, the first place my heart is anchored. Not as a girlfriend but as a close friend, very close. The closeness that makes many women jealous of me. Well jealous, because the man never submits to any woman other than me.

Dafa, never said no to my will. To him I remain the main in comparison to his girlfriends. Don't be surprised when I say girlfriends, my best friend is a big Playboy. Classmates to upperclassmen are the target of his crush. But he still considers himself a loyal man aka every bend there is his girlfriend. Hehe...

"How are you, Riri?" He asked with a face that looked so happy.

"Alhamdulillah be good da. da," I replied a little awkwardly calling his name affectionate in our friendship.

Riri and bada, that's what our friendship call was.

"Kok awkward so anyway Riri, do not miss well you are the same as this Dadamu," Dafa chatter that I know is just a joke.

"What the hell Da, is old oii, remember the age," I told him.

"Ahh old age may be old, but the soul must remain young Riri."

Dafa, it never changes, his attitude is still as funny as ever. Unless her treatment of me changed drastically. If he had met me he would have grabbed me by the arm, or rubbed my hair that was not covered in hijab.

"Oh yeah, Mas Galih where's your husband Ri?" Dafa's question made my smile fade away. That name still hurts me.

"Had been kidnapped by a female Da," I replied with a heavy sigh.

Dafa who saw the streak of sadness on my face did not ask much more. He must have understood my words just now.

"Tania, how's Da?" Cecarku, trying to divert the conversation so as not to get too late in the discussion of Galih mas again.

"Tania, Tania," he stammered.

"Why Tania Da?" Askaqua.

Ting.

Ting.

My work alarm sounds. A sign of ten minutes to go to work. I deliberately set a work alarm so as not to be late.

"Astagfirullahhaazim," I muttered with a glance at the alarm in my gaze which was in my work-fashion pocket.

"Sorry Da, I have to leave immediately" I said as I turned towards my car.

Before the car door opens. Dafa followed me to ask for my phone number. With a quick movement I got into the car and took my card. After that I left Dafa.

Exactly at 07.50 WIB I arrived at the car park of special employees in front of the Hafizh mas clinic which is now being added to the building. The rain is starting to fall. Without using an umbrella I rushed towards the usual place of absent employees. Lucky I'm not too late.

After pressing the absenteeism button, I paid a moment to Susan, my co-worker who is both guarding the dispensary, to take the children to the Hafizh mas house located next to the clinic.

Soon I ran small towards the car. I embraced the small body of Syaqilla who was sound asleep. Followed by Syamil and Syafiq who tailed behind me while holding the tip of my rectangular hijab. We walked together to a medium-sized luxury house with a beautiful classic feel.

I opened the main door of the house so as not to wake Syaqilla. Syamil and Syafiq immediately rushed into the playroom which was deliberately provided by Mas Hafizh.

Krreek.

The room door I used to put the kids to bed was open. I walked in followed by Ani. We laid the little body of the twins who were sailing in a beautiful dream on a soft mattress.

After kissing his second forehead, I say goodbye to Mbak Ani who has also laid himself beside the twins.

I slowly walked out of the room and closed the door. With a quick movement I turned around.

Blaaac.

I accidentally hit Mas Hafizh who was about to pass to the front. For a moment our netra clashed with each other, until Hafizh threw a look at the other. And passed away leaving me without a word. I followed it without a word.

Seriate...
