Forgive Me, Love

53. Happy to meet

The day keeps changing. After being in Yogyakarta for almost three weeks, now the problems experienced by the Boby project in Yogyakarta have been resolved well.

Today he will return to Semarang. I can't wait to meet my wife. Boby wants to surprise Novia, so he deliberately does not tell her about his return as his wife.

But it's a pity, because the road is jammed, Boby got home very late. Novia had fallen asleep that day. A bit disappointed indeed. But it was also his own fault for not telling him he was going home.

The morning is approaching. It was early in the morning that Novia was ready to go to work. He who usually left for work at half-time seven, today he had to leave early. Because there will be a school birthday.

Novia who served as treasurer, certainly very busy preparing many things. Although the event will be held four days later, but starting today, the school has been very busy.

" Bi, I'm leaving first." said Novia to bi Susi.

" No breakfast yet?"

" No chance to bi. It's almost too late. Assalamualaikum says. " Novia immediately left and left bi Susi who still wanted to speak.

Bi Susi will just tell you that Boby has come home. But apparently Novia was in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Boby came out of his room. He looks lost looking for something.

" Eh, Boby. You up?" supa bi Susi who just entered the dining room.

" Yes bi. Misadventures. I didn't even have time to pray at dawn. Novia hasn't woken up yet?"

" That's the problem. Novia left for work half an hour ago. Aunty just wanted to say that Boby's mom is home. Eee mbak Novia already hiccup."

" Tumbens. The morning had already left, "boby muttered.

But bi Susi still heard his mutter.

" Aunty wanted to ask me what was going on, but also did not have time. Sorry for that."

" No pa-pa bi. Let me call you later."

Boby went back into the room. He was less excited today. He who yesterday has been mengebayangin will miss his wife, eh failed. He spilled his body back into the bed, continuing his sleep. Because for almost three weeks in Yogya, he was really sleep deprived.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after performing the Dzuhur prayer, Boby came out of the room because he felt hungry stomach. He called bi Susi to prepare lunch for her.

While waiting for his lunch to be ready, he sent a message to Novia.

** Have lunch, Who?

Long Boby waiting for a reply from Novia. But the reply did not come. Finally because lunch was ready, he took a plate and filled it with rice and side dishes.

Until her lunch is over, Novia still hasn't opened a message from her. He looked at the wall clock in the middle room because now Boby was in the middle room.

The clock has shown almost three o'clock. But Novia still hasn't come home either. His wife usually arrived home at two. He tried to contact his wife, but was also not appointed. He also became anxious.

He finally decided to take his wife to school. He took the keys to the car in his room, then took the car in the garage.

Twenty minutes later Boby arrived in front of Novia's school. Boby looked inside the school area. Looks like it's still a lot. Tumben at this school is still crowded. Boby got out of the car and walked towards the security guard post.

" Day sir. "welcome Boby to the security guard.

" Oh, noon sir. Can I help you?"

" I'm sorry, I'd like to ask, is Novia Ma'am still inside?"

" It looks like it's still sir. I haven't seen Bu Novia come out. Sorry, if I may know, who is this guy?"

" The new security here. Must not know me. I'm Novia's husband."

" Oh, sorry sir. Excuse me. I really don't know. Excuse me. Because I'm new."

" No pa-pa sir. Just relax. By the way, school at this hour is still crowded. My wife has not come home either. Are there any additional lessons?"

" It doesn't seem to sir. Maybe they're busy preparing for the school anniversary. Can I call Novia Ma'am?"

" May sir. If it doesn't bother."

The security guard entered the school and Boby waited at the security guard post. While waiting for Novia, Boby met with Ahmad.

" Well, Boby...Long time no see."

" Mister Ahmad." They shook hands with each other.

" Wait for Novia?"

" Yes sir. Just called the security guard."

" Why not just go in? Come on in." take Ahmad sir.

" No need sir. Thanks though. I'll just wait here."

" Whoa, did not expect ya. it turns out your soul mate is Novia Ma'am. If it is already a soul mate it will not go where. Hahaha." said Mr. Ahmad with a laugh.

" It's all because of my father. The father who found us. "

" Eh, that's wrong. This man is just an intermediary. Which brings together the above" said Mr. Ahmad full of authority while patting Boby's shoulder.

" I still have to thank you. Mr. Ahmad has introduced me to a special woman" said Boby, giving his thumbs up.

" It's true what I said first. It's hard to find a woman like Novia. You're really lucky to get it."

Boby nodded with a smile.

" Oh yeah, I haven't even said thank you for the project you're working on. Very special about your work. In just five months, the new school was finished. The head of our school foundation seems very satisfied with your work. "

" Everyone sir. I try as much as I can."

" Well, it looks like Novia's already out. I didn't go in first. Assalamualaikum." pamit pak Ahmad while patting Boby's shoulder once again.

Mr. Ahmad left Boby. Novia looks bowed her head respectfully when passing by Mr. Ahmad.

Novia seemed to not believe it turned out to be true her husband who was in front there. When the security guard told her that her husband had come here, Novia did not believe it. He had thought that there were people who would intentionally try him.

But after he looked directly, how shocked he was. And how happy his heart was. Novia hastened her pace.

Boby showed her a sweet smile as Novia approached her. Then he stretched out his hand to hug his wife. But Novia refused by shaking her head while pointing her chin inside the school area. Hinted that they could not cuddle in that place.

" When do you come home? How come you're not telling me?" ask Novia when she gets to Boby.

" People suprise. I arrived home last night. But you slept last night. His intention was to meet you this morning, uh I woke up you were not there. " Boby answered while holding Novia's hand.

" Oh, if you say you came home yesterday, I'll wait."

." His name is not a surprise dong if I tell you. You're still a long time?"

" At least my work is almost done."

" Yes, I've been waiting for you to finish your job."

" I'll bring my own car. "

" It's that easy. Let's get Remon."

" But I have to go to Mom's house first. I made an agreement with my mom to go home today. "

" No, pa-pa. Later with me. I haven't been there in a long time either."

" Yes, I went in again. Let the spit be done."

Boby nodded and Novia soon passed.
