A round table with a middle wooden chair surrounded by three people who were still silent to each other. Two cups of warm tea were presented in front of them. But it seems they are still adventurous with their own thoughts.
After greeting each other at the beginning of the meeting Shanum, Akhtar and Ahsan, they decided to sit down together and talk to each other about the problem they were facing on the back porch.
Shanum looked awfully wrong looking at Akhtar and Ahsan who were now sitting in front of him. He felt uncomfortable with the presence of the two of them because at home there was no one. He immediately sent his mother a message, informing her that he was having guests at home. Shanum hopes his mother will come soon.
"Sorry, Bro.I came here just to apologize to Shanum for what Raina has done. I know this must have something to do with me." Akhtar felt bad that he had come to see Shanum while Ahsan was there, so he started talking.
After speaking to Ahsan he looked at Shanum deeply, a worry on his face. I want Akhtar to ask Shanum, make sure he is okay. Akhtar will not forgive himself if something happens to Shanum. He tried to harbor his feelings when he saw Shanum with Ahsan.
"Diamond..." Ahsan who saw Akhtar looked at Shanum with a different gaze cleared his throat, trying to disperse Akhtar's focus.
He saw clearly that Akhtar still loved Shanum very much. Akhtar turned his eyes the other way. He realized that his presence and his poorly controlled attitude were bothering Ahsan.
"I'm sorry, Shanum. I didn't expect Raina to do that to you", Akhtar tried to normalize his heart and facial expression. He does not want to cause new misunderstandings. For Akhtar to be able to see Shanum alone was enough to make his heart calm.
"Yes A, equally" Shanum replied briefly.
"A?" Ahsan who heard Shanum calling Akhtar was different from usual was astonished.
"Heumm...? Eeh..Sir means. Sorry!" Shanum corrected his words.
"I won't be long, once again forgive all this. I guarantee this won't happen again." Akhtar rerouted their conversation to the original topic.
He did not want Shanum to be investigated further by Ahsan. Honestly Akhtar himself missed the call very much said from Shanum's lips.
"Loh..where are you? cepet very." said Ahsan astonished to see his cousin was ready to leave.
"I....."
"Assalamu'alaikum, you name......" Fauzan's younger brother Shanum's voice stopped Akhtar's speech.
The three of them turned to the center of the voice. Fauzan's younger brother Shanum suddenly appeared with a panicked face.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" the three of them answered.
Shanum moved from his seat to his sister.
"What's up, Deck?" shanum asked impatiently.
"Steak, sorry...Ade didn't escape. Ade was not accepted to work at Bina Insani hospital" replied Fauzan softly with a lethargic face, he looked disappointed.
"Ouh.kirain what, you're just making worry aja tau" Shanum pulled over his sister's shoulder which was considered excessive.
"Where I am not panicking Tea, my period whose value is far below me escapes, I keep not. Well...just dong if I panic, what are their criteria? is it also only the initial stage is still administrative selection, temen I have just escaped why am I not? what's the wrong side of trying?" Fauzan explained his heartbreak to Shanum.
He sat on the floor still holding an announcement letter from the hospital where he applied for the job he had received from the post office.
Hearing Fauzan's words, Shanum recalled Suraya's words. He turned towards Ahsan and looked at him sharply.
Ting....
The incoming message from Ahsan's device disconnected Shanum's gaze
'Son, Papa is having a problem. Papa's friend who stumbled on the case, in his testimony he dragged Papa's name in his problem even though Papa did not know the problem at all. Please Papa, Son'
A message from the mother made Ahsan shocked. He called his mother immediately out of concern.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma" Ahsan said as his phone connected.
"Wassalamu'alaikum" Mama Ahsan replied with a sobbing sound that was clearly heard in Ahsan's ear.
"Where can you, Ma?" Ahsan also made sure back what his mother said through whatsapp application.
The mother also recounted the chronology of her father's arrest. Papa Ahsan was on duty, suddenly got a call from the police who explained that he had to follow the officers and follow a series of checks at the police station.
There was no reason for Papa Ahsan to dodge, all the evidence pointed at him. He was forced to follow the orders of police officers.
Papa Ahsan only told his wife that he had to go to the police station. This immediately made mama Ahsan panic, she immediately called Ahsan to convey this news.
Currently Papa Ahsan is on duty in Surabaya, it means that Ahsan must immediately fly to Surabaya.
"Well Ma, Mama calm down.I'll be there soon. Mama don't panic, I'm sure nothing will happen to Papa. Mama calm down.calm up Ma..." Ahsan tried to calm her mother who suddenly cried hysterically after saying the information.
"So there's a problem, he's at the police station right now. I have to go to Surabaya immediately" Ahsan replied explaining everything.
Shanum, who heard this, panicked. He immediately came to Ahsan and gave her a motivating.
"So calm brother, God willing, there will all be a way out"
Hearing Shanum's voice speaking softly, Ahsan's heart suddenly warmed. He felt an incredible energy intake. The panic disappeared immediately. He took a deep breath and violently blew it away.
"Yes, Num. Thank you" Ahsan replied.
"Then I say yes, I want to go straight to the airport. The car let Mang Asep take to the airport." continued Ahsan
Shanum nodded and prepared to take Ahsan outside.
"Bro, I go first" she told Akhtar.
"Are you sure you want to go to Bandung with your own vehicle?" ask Akhtar. He saw his cousin was very upset.
"If you want we can go together to Bandung. I'll take you to the airport and your car while let it be pinned here. Can you, Shanum....?"
Akhtar glanced at asking shanum.
"Ii.i.e." - Shanum replied.
Ahsan also agreed.
"Then we left first" he said goodbye to Shanum and his sister who were still there.
They both walked to the front door, followed by Shanum and Fauzan.
Ahsan aligned his steps with Shanum who was behind him. He glanced at Shanum who was now walking beside him.
"I hope my prediction this time is wrong" he whispered to Shanum.
Shanum stopped his steps, he looked at Ahsan.
"Sak Suraya once said of my sister, Brother. I thought there was no harm this time I was more vigilant. I don't want more people affected by Kak Suraya's ambition. I hope Brother understands. After today please don't come again" Pinta Shanum firmly.
Seeing Ahsan and Shanum stopping and talking seriously, Akhtar chose to continue his steps towards the exit followed by Fauzan's younger brother Shanum.
Arriving on the terrace of the house, Akhtar approached Fauzan.
"So you applied to Bina Insani hospital in Bandung?" ask Akhtar. He chose to chat with Shanum's sister while waiting for Ahsan before entering his car.
"Yes, brother, but not accepted. Though only the initial stage of administrative selection, but I have failed. Maybe not enough time" he replied grimacingly.
Akhtar smiled at Shanum's sister's reply. He took his wallet out of his pants pocket. Akhtar took out his business card and then presented it to Fauzan.
"This.accept, if you are still interested in working there contact me, God willing I help" Akhtar explained.
"Sorry Brother if I may know, this brother is ready?" Fauzan again asked, he was curious about Akhtar. During this time Shanum never brought any male friends home. His eldest brother did not yet have a lover.
"I'm Akhtar Shanum's friend" Akhtar thrust his hand out to shake his hand.
"Akhtar?......" Fauzan seemed to think of calling Akhtar's name, he felt very familiar with that name. Fauzan also seemed to be trying to remember something.
"Why?" asked Akhtar who was surprised by the response given by Fauzan.
"Kok I feel familiar with the name of Brother" replied Fauzan with a frown looking thinking.
"Come.." Ahsan suddenly appeared and Shanum followed.
After leaving the car keys to Shanum. Ahsan and Akhtar were very happy. Before moving Akhtar had a glance towards Shanum and it turns out Shanum was looking at him. Their views met for a moment.
There was an unexpressed sense in the gazes of the two. A feeling they are trying to feel comfortable together. Let that love remain in their hearts. Until one day the Owner of Hearts again destined the best for both of them.
"Shanum, I understand there are still many beauties on this earth that I do not know But if I had you, it would be half that I have found" Akhtar murmured in his heart.
"If I may ask, let me wait upon you well once more. So that someday you and I will be reunited at the end of a good wait" Shanum said
