Dr. Ani And Family's

Another taste

ANI

Our eyes flashed for a moment and we looked at each other in the other direction. I saw the streets and Zainal looked down and played his shoes. We were standing in the courtyard to the right left of which were various plants. I took a distance of about a meter so as not to get too close to Zein's mas.

"How are you?" his tone really shook my heart. It is like holding back anger and sadness.

"good. Zein himself?" I still call him mas because of our old habits even though I am older than him.

"You love him at? Are you happy with her...?" He didn't answer my question and asked me back.

I glanced at him and tried to guess what he was thinking.

Because I did not immediately answer the question he turned to me so it makes me reflex to turn to him as well so that our eyes meet each other.

I did not immediately turn my eyes away because I wanted to look into his mind. The man who had filled my days was looking forward with both hands linked behind his body. Maybe because the feathers that cover his face plus the hat on his head make me unable to guess his way of thinking.

"Haha.yeah. I am what I am. I am not comparable to him. He is the sky and I am the earth..." He said he answered his own question while bowing his head.

"Mas Zein, what the hell is this....? Why compare yourself to others. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. Why humble yourself like that..." Those words just came out of my mouth.

"Indeed the reality is like that" he said listlessly.

"I'm actually here because my mom has already approved us but I'm the one who got the amazing surprise here. Why is destiny playing us like this?" His voice vibrates. Is it possible that Zein was crying?

I didn't respond to his words because it sounded like I was the one here who was guilty and made him suffer.

"May Mas Zein also soon meet a good girl and ..." He cut my words as they passed.

"May you be happy with your choice....". I watched him from behind he seemed to wipe his face with both hands then immediately lead his bike and when he reached outside the gate he immediately rode his bike.

I wish he'd turned to me before he left, but he didn't turn to me at all. He just walked down while rubbing his eyes a few times.

I remained standing in my place even though Zein's mas was gone from sight. Either I regret our fate or I'm just sad to see it that way.

If I hadn't met Ustadz Zein I would have loved to hear the news but now I'm even getting cheered on. It's impossible to cancel because I don't have a reason.

With ustadz Zein I also felt calm when near him, he was a wise figure and a good priest as well.

"Ehem.the man has disappeared..."

I was shocked to hear of deheman ustadz Zein. I looked up and smiled at him. He was on the porch of a house that was higher than our yard.

Don't tell me he's been there since.

" Where are you going ustadz? how come it hasn't been seen?" I asked to get rid of my nerves.

" Can I call a doctor?"

Eh.. was he sulking because he had heard Zein calling me at...

"Please...!"

"Can't you call me ustadz? It feels like we are too far away... like we have nothing to do".

"How about it then?" I'm getting clumsy at his request.

"Call brother !"

I smiled at her request.

"Good sister...!" said teasing.

"Don't be so formal dong deck! Ordinary aja..! I feel like I'm teaching in front of the class again if it's like that."A funny expression. This is the first time I've seen him like that. Cute abis anyway.

" Yes, brother..." I laughed when my mouth called him brother. Amusedly....Like a big new kid who's in love. Hadew. au ah is important he is not angry and does not sulk.

"Breakfast yuk.." Ask me because we haven't had breakfast. It's also only eight in the morning.

"Sir...."

I looked at him while waiting for the next sentence.

"What's that on? abbreviation yes.... what does it mean?"

He looks curious. Basic eavesdropping... If you are married, how is your possessiveness?

I was confused whether I should answer it or not.

But I also don't want her to be jealous for long. I better tell you the truth so there's no misunderstanding between us.

"Dinda.." I replied as I entered the house.

Hopefully he can accept it.
