He is my eye

Ch. 19. Trying to lie

"What time are you coming home, Fa? I'm waiting for you not to come home, until I overslept," the mother who was eating with me.

"Hour 12, Mom. Because I'm the same Alfan tried almost all the rides there. To the point that we don't realize it's too lazy."

"Don't go home too often, Fa. Virgin children should not go home often. Especially if it's the same man, if you're any other way?" a talk of a worried mother with her only child.

"Where alfan dares to say Shifa, he is a sholeh man, ma'am. Aja dating does not want," answered me who already knows the nature of Alfan.

"Oh that, what does he do, Fa? Couldn't he be a student at your college? Most of your student friends are not like Alfan who is polite and authoritative."

"Mother cheated on my friends yes. I haven't told you about Alfan yet, huh. Alfan is his profession as an orthopedic doctor, Mom, at the Harapan Bunda Hospital. In addition to being a doctor, he said he was also a deputy director at the hospital," explained I was busy eating pepes fish cooking my mother.

"Oh... Are you guys dating?" ask mom again.

I who was engrossed in eating suddenly coughed at the mother's question which was straight to the point. I drank in front of me a lot before I answered my mother's question. As a result of choking earlier, I felt full from drinking too much.

"We're not dating, Mom. Kan Shifa just said that Alfan had a principle, that he did not want to date."

"Do you like Alfan? Why not ta'aruf, Fa. I agree that you want to marry Alfan."

"Mothers... Alfan was looking for a sholeh wife. I know for myself that I rarely pray and never wear a hijab."

"Why don't you start now? Mother also has often advised you that you should pray every time. Prayer is only five minutes, Fa. You're also a grown-up and cook should I continue to grumble."

I'm getting tired of hearing mom's talk. My mother always told me to pray. Even when I was a kid, I was often hit with rattan if I didn't want to pray. Maybe now I'm tired of advising me. And I've hardly ever lectured since I went to college.

"Yes my beautiful mother. Later if Shifa can be guided from Allah, Shifa will pray. Shifa will also wear a hijab so Mom doesn't talk anymore."

After saying that, I ran to the bathroom. I'm tired if I've been lectured early in the morning by my mother. Especially today my full school schedule is all day.

"Shifa left first yes, ma'am," I said to my mother.

"Yes, you're careful. Don't wait for the directions to come. If you do not seek guidance from Allah, you will not change." Again, my mother told me about this morning's talk.

"Yes, ma'am," I replied lethargic.

"Oh yeah, don't go home. Miss Retno will come here."

"Well?" my many.

"Well, he wants to see the photos of the bags you sell."

"Geez, Mom, I forgot. Shifa left first. Assalamu'alaikum, ma'am."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

*******

"Elsa, I ask for a website link that usually sells bags where your subscription dong?" my door.

"Make what, Fa? You would buy a bag usually also to the mall."

"I want to try selling online. Mumpung temen my mom has a purse."

"Tumben you want complicated sales online everything. Does the widower not want to give money?"

"Now, Fa, I usually buy it here. The price is relatively cheap. It's good for our teenage bags."

"Thank you, dear Elsa."

"Look at dong, it looks good too. No less the same that is sold in the mall," said Nela.

"Yes, it's good here. The price ranges from a hundred thousand to millions, depending on which one to buy. The stuff is always up to date. Instead we just wait at home, goods directly nyampek," explained Elsa at length.

"Well. fun dong! I also want to pesen if that is so," exclaimed Nela.

"Messenger in me, Nel. I'm only making twenty thousand, hehehee...." I'm trying to take a chance. After all, fortunately, it is also not much, but it is enough that twenty thousand times several people.

"You, Shifa, can make a profit. Yes, I signed this one. You'll complete me transfer."

"Ready boss!" seruku happy.

"Eh, guys, check out Alfan's instagram. I think he's on vacation!" shouted Elsa.

"Where, where, look!" assault Nela and me.

In the photo that Alfan posted, we saw the rides that we rode yesterday. There are also some photos of animals in the park. Also Alfan posted a photo when eating at a restaurant next to him there is a lion.

Grateful, he only posted photos of himself without me. Otherwise, it could be discovered that we went there together. But strangely my heart, besides being grateful, on the one hand I also felt a little jealous because he did not post my picture. He wanted someone to know that I was close to him.

"It looks like it's in the Park, deh. Look at the restaurant there's a song" Nela said.

"But who was Alfan there?" ask Elsa curiously.

"If not the same friends, it must be the same family. If you go to the Tourism Park it is most suitable for rame-rames," said I.

"Sunday yesterday Alfan also posted another walk. But I don't know where. I think again in the tour that there is a waterfall. Do you know where?" search Elsa.

Nela and I shook each other's heads not knowing. I just remembered, when Alfan and I walked to Coban Beach, Alfan had asked me to photograph it under a waterfall. It turned out that he wanted to post this photo to share on his instagram page.

"It looks like it's a far away place. Maybe out of town," I said, pretending.

"Oh yeah, Shifa, last week where were you? I stopped by your house, but your house is empty. I thought you were helping your mom sell at the market, but said your neighbor, you're on the same road guys leave early in the morning. Indeed where?" nela asked as if she was interrogating me.

I was shocked when Nela suddenly asked like that. I who was trying to lie to cover my closeness with Alfan, seemed wary of being discovered.

"Inget isn't the guy I'm telling you that she's looking for a girl sholehah? He's convinced I'm on the road, so last Sunday I wasn't home." It seems lying makes me addicted. Every time I try to cover my relationship with a lie, I will constantly try to lie again.

"Do you want to be the sholehah woman who is wearing Elsa's hijab?" ask Nela.

"Why does Nela always ask directly to the point? I felt like I was being interrogated for having made such a huge mistake" I murmured inwardly.

"After I broke up with Reno, I wanted to try to become a better woman. So I was getting ready to open an online shop so that when I broke up with Dito, I already had my own income even though not much," I said honestly.

"Wah. nice dong, Fa. I'll support you so you can be a better woman" Elsa said.

"Yes, I support you too. Hopefully by knowing this new guy, you can be a better one. Not dating mulu," said Nela.

Maybe if they knew what I meant was Alfan, the two of them would be furious. I don't want to betray my friendship, but my heart can't be lied to. I'm still gonna fight Alfan.
