FOREIGN DESIRANT
Episode 22 Kirana Heart Note
Masyita finished her work helping Mama Rehan clean up the dinnerware. He wants to join his aunt, Om Arif and Rehan in Rehan's living room. He was always happy to be among them. He still remembers when he was a child he often stayed and played with Rehan and his sister. Now
feels different. Masyita had been living in Makassar when she heard that Alif's father and sister had died in an accident. From his father he also knew how Rehan was after the departure of his loved ones. Two years Rehan slumped and left school, that's why Rehan is still SMK while Masyita has been in college 4th semester when they were the same age. Masyita pityed her cousin. But from the first day he came and saw Rehan's condition now he felt relieved. Although still in an ash-white uniform, Rehan looked more mature. Masyita was amazed how her cousin could handle the efforts of her father. Even more surprising, from Om Arif he knew Rehan would soon be married. This is the news that most make Masyita do not believe but still proud of Rehan. He wondered what kind of woman could make Rehan so bold as to take the decision to marry at a young age.
He must be very special, Masyita thought.
Rehan is struggling with his shop notes and invoices, Om Arif helps Rehan check the store's financial statements, Mama Rehan is busy with his laptop. Masyita wants to help but doesn't know what to do.
"What can you do for me, Om?" ask him to Om Arif. "Masyita just sit here, it's over soon" replied Om Arif.
"Rey, need some help?"
Rehan turned his head for a while and pointed at the pile of textbooks and notebooks not far from him.
"The invoices are still a lot to check, but I also have to record the enrichment materials that are left behind."
"Known for picking me up time at the terminal?" Rehan nodded. Masyita checked immediately
those books.
"Where did you start?"
"Follow the one in the pink book." Rehan pointed again. Masyita grabbed the book and read the name of the owner.
Rehan smiled meaningfully. Masyita immediately understood that the book belonged to Rehan's candidate. Masyita instead of writing but instead open sheet by sheet Kirana's notebook. His handwriting was neat and clean, Masyita thought. Until he reads on a certain sheet. His forehead creased, slowly he read the note there. Masyita is confused once in a while she looks towards Rehan and goes back to reading Kirana's notes...
"Rey, I want to meet Kirana, okay?"
Rehan nodded, "Tomorrow I asked him, when can I meet Masyita."
"It's how I record it in the room, yes, like not konsen if you hear the sound of TV." Masyita.
He immediately moved to his room and looked back in disbelief at the writing in Kirana's book.
My heart has been beating ever since I saw him first standing on the pulpit of the musholla. What am I, God?
On another note in the book.
The afternoon rain was more beautiful because of it.
Masyita did not think, did Kirana not know there was such writing in her book? Masyita was sure the sentences were not for Rehan because on another page she found a name, the name written filled one sheet in the book. Who is Alif Ahmad Bachtiar? Rehan can't see this, Masyita's worried but she's curious. However, he must meet Kirana and get to know the girl. He doesn't want su’zon. Rehan could not have chosen wrong, Masyita thought.
