Forgive Me, Love

48. Rifa and Remon

It's almost afternoon. Novia waited for Boby to pick her up. But Boby didn't come. Maybe Boby forgot he promised to pick up his wife.

Novia picked up her phone that she had put in the bag. He decides to contact Boby first.

Tut's...Tut ..Tut.beep connected calls.

" Hello. "

" Assalamualaikum. "

Boby kept the phone away from his ear. Look who's calling. Because his voice is like the voice of the wife. It was a bit of a shock that he read the name listed there. Tumben his wife contacted him first.

" Walaikum hail, Nov."

" Mad, so pick it up? If I don't get it, I'll take the grab. "

" Athaghfirullah's...I forgot Nov. Sorry. Here I am again meeting the same part of the planning. About an hour later it's finished. I'll pick you up a little later. "

" If later kemaleman mas. I went up to grab. "

" The big no. You can't go to grab. You wait a minute, I told Remon to pick you up, keep you here. We'll go home together, okay."

" It is up to you. I'll wait for that. "

Call terminated. Novia's back home. Because waiting for Remon to pick him up will take a while.

" Your husband hasn't picked you up yet, Nov?" asked Mr. Samsul when he met Novia in the dining room.

" Not yet sir. Boby still has meetings. This will be Remon who picks up. " replied Novia while sitting herself in the dining chair.

Novia sucked the fried tempeh that was in her mother's fry.

Half an hour later, Remon arrived.

" Assalamualaikum.." said Remon.

" Greetings waalaikum. Uh, bang Remon. Bentar. Bang Re just come in first." replied Novia

" Yes, madam. " Remon went into the house.

Just as he was about to sit on the sofa, he remembered that his phone was left in the car. He did not sit. He was about to get back in the car when he got hit by someone.

" lt..au...au..." Rifa held her forehead.

Remon is surprised that a beautiful girl who suddenly enters the courtyard of Novia's house hits him because he is too engrossed in seeing his phone.

" When the way, his eyes make him see the way. Don't go to hp. "

Rifa spontaneously raised her head while still stroking her eel.

" o.mo... Oppa!" rifa shouted in surprise to see who was in front of her.

" I was young when I was. Not yet opa-opa."

" Is. I mean Brother. Oppa is a handsome brother means. Not grandpa. I thought I hit a wall. Uh, turns out to be a handsome brother." said Rifa silly.

" Oh. This neng mostly watch Korean dramas."

" Eehh, I'm Neng. My name is not Neng Abang... Get to know first." Rifa reached out her hand to shake hands with Remon. Remon accepted Rifa's hand department.

" Sukmajaya Rifalia. Call me Rifa. "

" Remon Ahmad. Call me Remon."

" Sister Remon, who do you want to see here?"

" Want to pick up Novia. "

" Yes, is Nov here? Since when? I'm not told. I miss him very much. "

Rifa immediately passed into the house looking for Novia. Forgetting someone who was dumbfounded there because he just wanted to answer Rifa's question, eh even asked already absent first.

" Mr Nov.mbak...mbak Nov.." shouted Rifa calling Novia.

" Rifa .. what's the screaming??"

" Mr Nov..." Rifa immediately hugged Novia. " Rifa kangen..."

Novia returned Rifa's embrace. Novia is very close to her siblings. Especially this Rifa. This Rifa if it is beside Novia, the plug must come out.

" O Allah Rif.kayak one year did not meet. "

Rifa took off her embrace. He was writhing on Novia's arm as Novia walked out into the living room. Remon was sitting on the sofa. Until Novia sat on the sofa, Rifa was still writhing on her arm. Seeing that sight made Remon ticklish.

" You are still the same as before. You are big already. I went to college in semester four. Pinter is dating. Still like a little gini."

" Lion. Just the same as Nov. No one saw. "

" Tuh.ada who saw. "pointing Novia to Remon.

" Athaghfirullah hal adzim..Forgot me if there's an oppa here. " Rifa hurriedly fixed her seat and removed her hand from Novia's arm.

" Have seen the Rif."

Rifa just grinned the horse. Remon only looked at the communication between Novia and her brother with a small smile.

" Nov't want to go back ?"

" Hey'em." Novia nodded.

" I'm here yesterday afternoon. "

" Look, I don't know. Nov did not tell. I miss the stories." said Rifa while playing her fingernails.

" Every night chat continues. Stories too. "

" Ihhhh, it's different. It's fun to meet in person."

" What do you want to confide in? Got a new move? It's only been two months. "

" Ishhh..mbak This Nov. Do not open the card why? Shame on your handsome brother." Rifa pretended to pout.

Remon further widened his smile seeing the fickle expression on Rifa's face. Funny this girl too. Beautiful again. Ah, think what I am. Little heart murmur Remon.

" Sir, are we leaving now? Maybe in a moment the boss's meeting is over" Remon said while looking at his watch.

" Yes, yuk." Novia stood up.

" Yes, ma'am Nov. When are we coming back?"

" Don't know yet. Why don't you go to my house?"

" Can..." Rifa gave her thumb. " Eh, but I don't know where your house is."

" If it's quiet. You just call me. I'll ask Bang Re to pick you up. "

" It's okay if that's. Especially the one who picked up my handsome brother."

Novia just shook her head at Rifa's behavior. Then Novia immediately said goodbye to her father and mother.

•••

" Who was Novia's sister?" ask Remon when they're on their way to Boby's office.

" yes. He's my cousin's sister. "

" Sometimes ridiculous too. "

" Well, that's how the Rifa is. Sometimes if the ridiculous nature has come out, it can be complicated."

Remon smile. " It looks like he's pretty much the same as Novia."

" yes. It's been from our childhood. Although I was the same age as 6 years, but sometimes our thoughts are in line. That's why he talks about anything with me. "

I love it when you call me senorita..

Novia's phone rang. Soon he took it from the bag.

" Assalamualaikum. "

" I'm done with the meeting. You're not here yet?"

" Yes, just sit back again."

" I wait." The call ends.

Soon they arrive in front of Boby's office. Boby was waiting for him on the ground floor. After seeing the car that brought the wife arrived, Boby immediately followed Novia in front of the office.

Remon got out of the car first. Just recently Novia took off her seatbelt, and was about to get out of the car, feeling someone getting into the car and sitting behind the wheel. Novia turned her head, and found Boby sitting there.

" Of Boby..."

" Not to come down. We go to a new meal right after that we go home."

Boby helps Novia put her seatbelt back on. The distance between them is so close. Boby slowed his movements. So that he could linger this close to his wife.

Is.deg...Deg..novia heart sound.

Once the seatbelt is attached, a 'cup' kiss lands on Novia's right cheek. Spontaneously Novia looked towards Boby. And the 'cup' now one more kiss landed on Novia's forehead.

Novia still does not budge after getting two kisses from Boby. Boby looks at it with a smile, and he lets Novia stay dumbfounded, he starts the car engine and starts running it.

" Yes mas mode." Novia protests when her consciousness returns.

Boby responded with a smile as he glanced at Novia and rubbed the veiled end of Novia's head with his left hand.

" The end of kangen." replied Boby briefly.

Novia looked out the window with a smile. His heart flowered to hear Boby's answer.

" Why so long?" ask Boby.

" When we left, there was a bit of drama. I used to sulk Miss Drakor because I came home, but didn't tell her. "

Boby smiled back.

" You're meeting until gini afternoon. "

" yes. I'm going to tender in a few weeks. Large tender. First time I'm going to take a tender like this. My pesying contractors are all classy. Doa'in. I got that tender. "

" I must be praying'in. "
