Heart Voice

Chapter 6

Still in his teens, Akbar remembers once when he told me about his feelings for the girl in his class.

"Assallam "

"Waalikum sallam"

"But, why Bang? Play the cake, tadarus cake, read the novel, why not bengong so that" said Aisyah.

"Falling in love sucks huh" Akbar said.

"Abang really fell in love? Same who?" Ask Aisyah.

Akbar nodded.

"But Bang, this brother is a boy, you want to marry young? While the courtship is forbidden, right? Doubtful, mumpung not too far love, just stop until here. Think of the future first!" Aisyah.

"That's what you're confused about, brother. My brother started to love her, but I was afraid he would reject me. But in Islam courtship is prohibited, ahhhh dizzy" said Akbar.

"Our love did not come right Bang, why not wait until later graduated college that is" said Aisyah.

"So my brother actually fell in love with Rifky's sister?" Ask Akbar.

"Perhaps, ahhhh Brother is still hesitating. Gini you know, when Brother meets Kak Rifky, the heart of Brother deg-degan Bang, Big Brother's mind is ambyar. If you are near him, get nervous. When he told me about another woman who had chased him, I didn't like it, before. And when we meet, he'll come home. Brother's heart is not willing to do that Bang.. Ah complicated" Aisyah.

"Lah dong Kak, Abang also ngrasain it fit near Mia. Brother is afraid of kak's khilaf" said Akbar leaning his head against Aisyah's shoulder.

Exactly 1 year ago Akbar admired the simple girl named Mia. Initially from group study, which each afternoon must meet for 2 months.

Akbar begins to sympathize with him, from the start of Akbar bothering him, to the love of mnegejek Mia. He started to love her, but was afraid to say it.

Aisyah and Akbar again confided in each other regarding their respective problems. Where Akbar told me about his Papa who asked Akbar after graduating from school had to follow to Japan to study there.

"Well, would you like to study in Japan?" Ask Aisyah.

"Still doubtful Brother" replied Akbar.

"Kok's hesitating? Mia again?" Ask Aisyah.

"Yester when I nganter Kak Aisyah to the campus, Abang realain feeling Abang to Mia Kak" said Akbar.

"Good dong, what makes you worry so much?" Ask Aisyah.

"She wants Abang to tell her master's people as well. How dong, worry this is still too early" said Akbar.

"Emm how is it? Are you sure about your heart, brother? Gini you know Bang, Abang is a boy. My brother was young too, and age is God's secret. If God wills, your future is still far away. There is nothing wrong if we fall in love, but it would be nice if we think about our future first. Happy parents for example, raise the level of parents as well. If we are able, then we want what with the people we love" said Aisyah.

"What about Rifky's brother and sister? Isn't Rifky's sister already established yes, the age is also if marriage is fitting that" asked Akbar.

"Silver want to focus on learning first, about that, Brother will walk according to God's way. If he can wait, Alhamdhulillah is what you expect.if not, then consider it has not been a match. The name of the soul mate will not go where Kok Bang" said Aisyah.

"But if you're in love with each other, how are you?" Ask Akbar.

Asiyah just kept quiet.

"That can't be answered, hahah bucin anyway. Sok to be an ambassador of love" Ejek Akbar.

"Hey, brother that guy, learn first the real one. Diligent schools, college continues to pursue the ideals. New success is thinking of a soul mate. Still a kid too" Upset Aisyah.

"Bad brother said it" Akbar said.

"Evil now for the good of Brother, rather than we regret it. Brother by the way that represents the heart of any woman, try to marry a boy who has to be able to bear it" said Aisyah.

"Yes too, Makasi ya my fierce lion brother, dear deh. Huuff Gini is very yes towards adulthood, dizzy" said Akbar.

"Ih greedy, for flat dong. Fat later" said Akbar.

"What!!! " Said Aisyah glanced at Akbar.

Akbar smiled faintly. They also devoured their favorite gurame greedily and without speaking, in accordance with the rules of Aisha.

The memory made Akbar smile to himself, how exciting as a teenager, joking, confiding in each other with brothers.

"Ais again what? On the phone still can not be anymore, Papa also has not come home at this hour" murmured Akbar.

Memory Refuse Mia.

That morning, Akbar was not in school. Somehow he was very longing for his cooperation with Aisyah. This time Akbar no longer admired Mia anymore, for some reason he just wanted to focus on learning and pursuing his ideals.

"Assallamualaikum Akbar, please do not ask" said Mia softly.

"Waalaikum sallam, what do you want?" Ask Akbar.

"Can I sit next to you? I want to talk about this lesson. I don't know how to answer that" Mia said

As Aisha said. The man must be mentally brave and really ready to live the household life.

Because getting married is not just about love, Akbar must continue to learn more about religion first. And he wants to pursue a career as well for his future.

"Have you? Can you go back to your place? I'm not comfortable if we sit side by side like this!" Akbar.

"How did you change?"Ask Mia.

"There are times when someone has to change, right? Sorry yes, you have to go back to your stool" Akbar said with a faint smile.

Mia was astonished by Akbar, lately he changed, not just Akbar. Kabir who often makes trouble in the classroom now is also more quiet.

"What happened to them?" Inner Mia

"I must remember the words of Kak Ais. The man must be able to support and educate the woman who will be his wife later. So I have to be diligent in studying and trying from now on" muttered Akbar.

When the bell goes home, usually Akbar and Kabir will stop by first to the cafeteria, but at this time. They will immediately go home and take part in pesantren activities like before.

"you why?"

The incoming message from Mia, Akbar just smiled and reply to Mia chat directly.

"I told you, right? I'm not papa. Oh yes Fahmi, later the group at home Lo aja yes, my house is quiet again because. Kabir came out as well today" Akbar said to the friend sitting in front of him.

"Liet Bray, let's tell ya. At this time, today I take a fishing trip behind my house later. Ok Ok!"Farhmi.

"Yoi Bro, you're going to hear back, okay?"Said Devan, a friend of Akbar's group as well.

"I don't have a bike, who can pick me up later?"Ask Mia.

"Gue's going to pick Lo up" said Lala, a friend of Akbar's group.

"Gue first, Bray. Assallamalaikum. Beer!! Otw "Shouted Akbar.

"First Bang, wait in the parking lot?" Kabir.

Mia felt Akbar's change so drastic. What caused Akbar to change, who used to be gentle towards Mia, is now indifferent to her

Akbar recalls Mia, maybe now he has children too, because when Akbar left for Japan, Mia married Kyai by choice of her master.
