Fazila Tipan From Heaven

Tranquilize

There was not a word spoken from the sweet child who stood behind Kiai Hasan's burly body. He didn't budge even though he saw me still holding out his hand, hoping he would shake my hand with a smile. I ducked down while pulling my hand, it didn't seem like it would be easy for him to accept me as a friend.

"It's not easy being my friend! Good-looking uncle should be punished for making me sad." Plain talk. The smile as beautiful as the Full Moon belonging to the sweet boy was perfectly fluffy on her beautiful face.

I smiled back at him. Fortunately it is not difficult to persuade him, he is not like other children who will curse his interlocutors. His mother educated him well.

I still clearly remember Araf telling me, this sweet boy's father was somewhere. I admit that man is a stupid man, what a bad reason he had until he left a child as sweet as Fazila.

Fazila... Even calling her name is very calming. Most holy whose power has created a child as sweet as himself. The two of us returned each other a smile, the boy who had been indifferent still shook my hand without removing the smile from his thin lips.

"Ummi always said, it's not good to disappoint people. Fazila's still mad at handsome uncle, so we can't be friends yet. Fazila will ask Ummi. If Ummi allows it, then we'll be secret friends." Again, this time with a serious face.

Secret Friend! It felt like I wanted to laugh seeing her pretty face say that, it had been a long time since I had heard the word Secret.

For a moment I was dissolved in the shadow of the past. A secret? My secret was so big that I felt too tight to breathe. Slowly I took a deep breath then threw it rough from the lips.

Kiai Hasan who was standing near my body that was still sitting in front of Fazila was worried. Without me asking, Fazila, the sweet boy hugged my burly body while patting me gently on the shoulder.

"Everything's gonna be okay." Speaks soothing. All this time I felt fine without anyone present by my side, but this time out of nowhere the calmness came pouring into my chest cavity.

"Thank you." I said softly as I took off Fazila's tight hug.

"My arms aren't free, handsome uncle has to pay for it." Fazila said as she brushed her thin lips

"Uncle is very rich, uncle can buy anything for you." My reply with a face is no less serious.

"What do you want in return for a soothing hug?" Ask again.

"The handsome uncle has to pay me three times a day. Pay in the morning, do not forget to eat breakfast and pray. The second payment, handsome uncle must smile without burden. Then, the final payment. Good-looking uncle should buy me chocolate-flavored ice cream, which is a lot..." Fazila answered without burden. Hearing the words of his grandson Kiai Hasan smiled widely.

"All guardians and children, please come together." The organizing committee started calling, which means our meeting today ends here.

Kiai Hasan shook my hand and ended with a greeting praying to each other, in contrast to the sweet boy. He walked slowly while waving his hand. I hope this isn't our last meeting because I have to pay my debt to her. I mean, give him chocolate-flavored ice cream like he asked for.

"What do you think of Alan's son?" The middle-aged man sat down near his daughter after finishing his work.

"Pa, Oliv likes Mas Alan. Among all the men Oliv had ever met was Mas Alan who could make Oliv's heart flutter erratically." Reply Olivia while looking at her papa's face with great respect.

"What do you think Mama? Do you like my son Alan too?"

"Mama's coming with Oliv. If our daughter is happy, Mama will support her. They come from upper class families. Mama's met with Ms. Nani, she's kind and polite." Reply to Ana, Oliv's mother.

"Papa is also like-minded, they're the perfect family for our proud daughter. Soon we must meet the Wijaya family to determine Oliv and Alan's engagement." Say Mr. Dandi again.

Even until now Olivia really hates the word if, for him, the word if it is like the most real enemy and very annoying.

Had I accepted Alan and decided to give up on my dreams and career? Maybe I am happy with him now. Now that I've become a famous designer, unfortunately I still can't be happy without Alan by my side.

The words always echoed in Olivia's brain, he thought he could never be happy without the presence of the figure of Alan Wijaya who would accompany his footsteps in every episode of his life.

Olivia still smiles happily while thinking about the figure of Alan Wijaya who will be his life companion, he did not even pay attention to his papa when the middle-aged man handed over the document opening his new boutique in the city of Bandung next week.

Meanwhile in a different place Bobby was busy working on a new task that I gave him. This afternoon I asked him to put up a TV in my private office. Ever since the meeting with that sweet boy, it felt like I wanted to keep seeing him in front of me.

Bobby chose a 50 Inch LED TV to put in my office. Big enough for me to watch alone.

"Sir, now you can watch TV. Do you need anything else?" Bobby asked while looking at me who is currently busy working with Laptop.

"really? Thanks to you!" Reply with a smile.

Even though Bobby didn't say anything, I knew he was looking at me in surprise. A second later the burly man ducked.

"You can go." My word is cynical.

Without a word Bobby left me.

Being in an office with a pile of work sometimes makes me stuffy, there's nothing I can do but force myself to keep working, there is nowhere I can go but a private office that has been conjured up for a year as a home at my command.

A handsome uncle should smile without burden. The sweet boy's words continued to reverberate in my mind. I accidentally started smiling to myself. The sucker Bobby even looked at me with a look of wonder, I hate it when someone dares to look at me like that, there is no reason for him to stay by my side because I will definitely throw him away.

I can't wait to meet that sweet boy. I smiled as I imagined her sweet face, I smiled as I recalled her words, I also smiled as I recalled how she waved her hand at me. Really, everything inside of him feels very binding on me.

Dretit.Dret.Dreep.

Tonight you have to go home, there's something serious you want to talk to me about! Don't refuse, because Mama will definitely be mad at you!

One short message that Mama sent managed to make my mood change completely, the face that had carved a smile now no longer exists, I am sure mom must have asked the Bani family to visit the Big House.

I don't know what Mama planned with the Bani family. I won't be silent if Mama arranges the wedding without my permission.

When upset because of the matchmaking that mom or Opa tried to arrange for me, usually I always vent my anger in the Ring, fight with the Boxing coach to forget everything that burdens my heart and mind.

I want that sweet boy's hug, his hug and speech to feel very soothing.
