He is my eye

Ch. 25. meet Alfan

"Good morning, ma'am, Shifanya is there?" ask a man from behind the door. I wonder who came this early. Hopefully not Dito. I'm not ready to see Dito this early.

"She, Son. Please come in." My mother allowed the man to come in and sit down. After that, I heard my mother call me, "Shifa, someone else is looking for you!"

"Yes, Mom," I replied.

"Make a drink too!" ask mom.

I rushed to make warm tea to the guest who knew who. But, whoever it is, the most important thing is not Dito. Because I'm not ready to see him again. I was afraid that mine would be beaten up if I met him.

When I entered the living room with the drinks I brought, I was shocked and happy with my guests who came. Apparently not the person I was thinking about earlier. But what came was my heart, Alfan.

"Mas, here's a drink, please drink it" I said politely.

"Alright, then I'll go to the kitchen first. You guys please talk to both. Son Alfan, please enjoy our treat that is not so much."

"Yes, Mom, thank you very much. This is more than enough" Alfan said. I did bring a little snack earlier.

"Mas Alfan why did you not say this early in the morning?" ask directly.

"You're sick, so I'm here to look at you" he replied honestly. I remember, I said yesterday that I was sick. What I mean is not my body that hurts. I felt guilty for lying to Alfan.

"Now, I brought you a little gift."

"What is this, Alfan?" I received a package from Alfan.

"just open. I just stopped by to buy you that. How are you doing now? Does it still hurt?" search Alfan.

"I'm doing fine. I'm just tired anyway" I replied. I opened the package Alfan gave me. It turned out to be all sorts of fruits. "Wahh .. thank you, Mom, I love grapes."

"Thank God then. What kind of fruit do you like?"

"Em .. All the fruit I like. Anyway the fruit should be fresh and make a seger in the mouth." I thank you so many times in my heart for being so happy this morning Alfan was in front of my eyes. Even I who just slept and had not had time to wash my face, he was already in front of me.

"Mas Alfan, aren't you in the hospital today?" just polite.

"To the hospital anyway, but one o'clock in the afternoon there's a schedule."

"I'm with ya. I'm in college today for lunch." Because the morning lecture was canceled because the lecturer was again in Bali, so today I entered half a day only.

"Are you healed? Mending you rest first at home if your body is still tired." Happy my heart now, Alfan who said Elsa cuek, it turns out he cares about me a lot. He's worried about me at the moment. Maybe if Elsa found out, she could have hit me with a thousand questions.

"Shifa, ajakin Nak Alfan breakfast!" mom's orders distract me and Alfan. So happy I arrived Alfan this early, I even forgot that I wanted breakfast. Though from earlier the worms in my stomach had fought each other to tell me to eat immediately.

"Come, Mas, let's have breakfast first."

"No, Mas before here had breakfast first," declined Alfan.

"Not that, let's go. But after eating you take a shower first yes, we will take a short walk to meet we both have time."

How did Alfan know I hadn't taken a shower? Is it possible because of the smell on my body or because my face looks agitated?

"Yes, come on." I took Alfan to the dining room together. There was a mother who prepared dishes for the guests.

"Please, son, eat potluck. Yeah this is how things are, I can only cook simple food."

"No, Mom, it's the same. Mama also often masakin me vegetable clear spinach. I even prefer soupy dishes like this" Alfan praised.

"Mom, that's Mas Alfan bringing fruit for Mom. I put it in the kitchen, Mom," as I.

"If you come here, don't bother, son Alfan."

"No, ma'am, it was just a coincidence running through a fruit shop" Alfan said.

"Mas Alfan is good, isn't he, ma'am? Because of her kindness I fell in love with Alfan. But I realized that my best friend loved her too. So, should I give up? Can't I fight for my feelings in the midst of my many shortcomings?" I murmured in my heart.

I saw the look in the eyes of the mother who seemed to understand with the hardness of my heart at this moment. But I can't say anything. I don't want my mom to worry about me too much. I don't want my feelings to be a burden on my mother who is half old.

"Mom, today I'm the same Alfan would like to take a walk before going to college" said my mother who was busy in the kitchen.

"Shifa, I need to ask you something. Here, sit next to Mom for a second." I followed my mother's instructions to sit next to her. Before mom said a word, I already knew which way this conversation was going.

"Shifa, if this continues, what will be the fate of your friendship with Elsa? Have you thought about it?"

"Yet, Mom, Shifa is also confused about how to deal with Elsa one day. Shifa will feel very guilty if Elsa gets to know Shifa's true feelings for Alfan," I replied honestly.

"Can't you stay away from Alfan? I just don't want you to lose a friend that's precious to you."

"Come, Mom, right now Shifa just wants to stay near Mas Alfan. Shifa felt comfortable being next to her. There is no man as good as Mas Alfan who Shifa knows, Mom." I answered honestly what was on my mind at the moment.

"After all, my relationship with Mas Alfan is not that serious, Mom. I was only considered a younger brother by Mas Alfan."

"But still, Shifa. The relationship between two different types of people is nothing that simple. He must have feelings for you too. It's just, something's stuck in his heart. Before your feelings get deeper, can't you just walk away from her slowly?" pinta's mother is sincere. I understand my mother's worries.

"How is it?" I'm in my heart.

"Well, ma'am, Shifa will try to stay away slowly, before Elsa finds out how I feel about Mas Alfan."

"You're patient, son. If Alfan is your soul mate, you will definitely be reunited someday, at a better time than now."

Forgive your son if I'm still in touch with Alfan. I can't just break my love for him. Unless Alfan himself decides to stay away from me, then I will accept his decision sincerely.
