"Assalamu'alaikum."
Qia turned her head when she heard the greetings from a man. He was stunned to see a young man who was smiling cheerfully even his eyes came smiling. His face looked shady as if emitting his sincere heart.
"Who is he?" Inner Qia asked. The girl ignored the greeting The young man was too fixated with her presence.
"Kok Kak Qia did not return the greetings? Sorry can I sit down?" asked Rasya politely. He then sat his body in a Chair beside Qia after obtaining the approval of the Girl.
"Ah yes, Wa'alaikumussalam," Qia responded quickly after coming to her senses. Because it made his face look flushed resisting embarrassment .
"Ah Qia, why suddenly become awkward gini? Whatwasthat? He called with Kak Qia's call? Am I older than him?" Qia flocked herself with a question that was spoken in her heart. He glanced at the young man whose face slightly sat down.
"Yes! he looked younger, just deserved to call Big Brother," Inner Qia.
"Is Brother Qia okay? What does Kak Qia feel now?" rasya asked with a face towards Qia while still slightly looking down. The young man's gaze was always awake and looked very polite.
"Alhamdulillah is fine. As you can see, I can sit longer than usual," replied Qia sounding bitter.
"Alhamdulillah. That means there is progress and with God's permission it is likely that soon Kak Qia will be healed" Rasya said with hope.
"Thank you for the attention," Qia replied with an almost inaudible gibberish in Rasya's Ear.
"Together."
Rasya then fell silent at the loss of what to say. Likewise, Qia did not know what to talk about with the Youth who had not been at all familiar with him. His name is not yet known who. But why did the Youth beside him invite him to chat with each other as if they knew each other.
Huft
"Sister Qia."
Qia took a deep breath expelling the silence that felt long enough. While the Youth beside him called out to him gently.
"There's a guest apparently, has Ustadz Rasya been a long time?" asked Habibah who suddenly appeared to melt the atmosphere that felt awkward between them.
"Just now, Brother Habibah. Oh yes, brother may I ask for help, I do not call Ustadz Rasya. I don't deserve to be called Ustadz. I am here still studying as well as practicing the knowledge gained just to get a degree."
Rasya recounted his goal of being at the current Pesantren and the next few months for a year as a condition for obtaining a diploma, even though he had already graduated academically.
"So so? but it does not feel polite to call by name while Ustadz Rasya is indeed teaching at this Pesantren. Isn't Ustadz another word from Guru, so no problem, dong? We call Ustadz."
Habibah's words made Rasya even more uncomfortable. To be honest, he didn't deserve the call. This is due to his readiness that does not exist to bear a very heavy responsibility according to him. In addition to learning and practicing his knowledge, on the other hand he must also be a good example for students, especially the community. Every word, behavior and action will certainly be valued by the Society. That's what's weighing him down so much. Rasya felt he was still a boy who sometimes behaved childishly and could not mature when faced with problems. Although all this time trying to be a good person, keep the association. Maintain every word and all actions to always be awake and do not violate religious rules, customs or State regulations. But still Rasya still has a young soul who wants free expression without having to put forward gimmicks and imagery. That young man didn't like that. He just wants to be himself and what he is.
"But Brother Habibah, the responsibility is heavy called Ustadz especially I am still leaked and this shoulder has not been able to bear it. Brother Habibah does not want, will see me shed tears because trying to pretend strong, but actually collapsed," rasya said at length, making Habibah show off a thin smile while shaking her Head in disbelief with what the Youth said before her.
"This young man was not a young man who thirsts for praise and titles, even though he was a descendant of menak, from a family that is and also religious. Even better, he is the best graduate of the Islamic University in Medina. Of course, his religious knowledge is no joke. How lucky is a girl who became his soul mate. Simple, kind, pious and knowledgeable young man."
Habibah monologued in his heart expressing his admiration for the figure of Rasya. That handsome young man who had just grown up.
While Qia was dissolving in her unclear thoughts. He has not known the figure of Rasya and has not understood what the purpose of approaching him is. Whether he wants to be friends with him or just to say hello and show concern as a fellow community because he is in the midst of trials.
"O Allah, Brother Habibah forgot to give drinks because he was so busy chatting. Wait a minute, yeah!" said Habibah while patting his forehead slowly.
"Don't bother you, brother," said Rasya holding Habibah to keep them chatting.
"No hassle, really!" After saying Habibah went into the house to give space for the two of them to continue the conversation.
"I don't understand, why you already look familiar with Habibah continued you also seem to be familiar with me," said Qia neutralizing the awkwardness that began to be felt again since the departure of Habibah.
"I was embarrassed. Sorry Kak Qia, if this kind of familiar attitude makes Kak Qia confused. I thought Kak Qia remembered me" Rasya replied honestly. He rubbed his nape as a way of distracting his embarrassment.
Qia speechless. The girl glanced at Rasya's face and tried to remember if she had met him in the past.
Qia frowned as she was thinking and felt that her memory had been very poor lately. What because his illness made his brain work start to decline and forget the face of Rasya who should be familiar in his memory.
"We met at a family event at the Ardiaz Hotel. I came as a member of the Hasan family. At that time Kak Qia was introduced by Abang Keynand as his future wife. I'm sorry, I'm talking about this" Rasya said with a guilty face. He should not have mentioned the name Keynand which might have reminded him of the strained relationship.
"It's okay. I apologize for not remembering you at all. I don't know what happened to this brain."
Qia felt guilty. He tried to remember Rasya, but until now there was no picture of them ever getting acquainted and then engaging in chatter. He remembered the family event. At that time Keynand introduced him as a prospective wife to all members of his family who attended.
"No problem, it's only natural that Kak Qia does not remember me, after the introduction we never met again," said Rasya calmed Qia so as not to feel guilty for apparently not remembering it at all. Maybe his memory is currently being sucked.
When they are busy chatting. Habibah came to bring a drink and also a fried banana that had just ripened.
"Thank you" said Qia and Rasya at the same time.
"Yes alike. You guys just continue the chat, Brother Bibah, stay inside." Habibah said goodbye and again left the two of them to continue the conversation.
"So you already know my relationship with Brother Keynand has run aground?" qia asked wanting to know.
"Yes. Doesn't Brother Qia want revenge?"
Qia was surprised by Rasya's words which he thought were a provocation.
"For what? Whether with revenge will be able to turn it into its original state. That can't be happening, can it?" Qia replied feeling astonished by Rasya whom she thought was a sincere Youth. But in reality he is a vengeful man.
"Yes, it can't. I think Kak Qia will take revenge so they can feel what it's like to be heartbroken. Kak Qia should just take revenge so that Abang Keynand's wife is nyahok. I really don't like Brother Keynand's wife. Never met him at all."
Rasya said what he felt when he learned of this reality. Hearing Hamiz's story about the Wife of Keynand, at that time his heart was hard to accept. There was something strange in his heart, what was it? He should not care about his sister-in-law's life. He was just a brother-in-law. But because Keynand was already his family, of course, that concern touched his heart as well.
"So you want me to take revenge? In what way? Do I have to grab her hair or break her Husband's heirloom? Ah that's too bar-bar. I have the consequences."
Qia spoke fieryly and looked excited. To be honest he felt provoked by the provocation launched by Rasya.
"Maha."
"Why are you laughing?"
"I'm glad to see Kak Qia excited. Since Kak Qia has started to get excited, I say goodbye. This tea and the fried banana are also gone so it's time for me to go home."
Rasya ended the conversation by leaving curiosity in Qia's heart.
"You're mode huh Sya? Just say you come here to eat," said Qia meredek Youth responsibility.
"That's Kak Qia knows. Oh yes if you want serious revenge, then Kak Qia must do. There are powerful ways that will make revenge is sure to produce happiness."
"Emang is?"
"There, I'll know at the next meeting" Rasya said with a beautiful smile on his lips. He then said goodbye to Habibah, after which the young man left Qia who was still engrossed in his place.
"Why not tell me now? Why even delay. Rasya deliberately might be for me to wonder. Ih Rasya nyebeliii," muttered Qia. After that he smiled brightly. There was happiness felt with the presence of the young man. It is not the heart that is beset by falling in love, but rather getting a sincere friend.
