Hijab And Waiting

God bye A

"Diana, we're on holiday next week. Can I play at your house?" Tedja was very hopeful of being given the opportunity to approach Diana.

Diana seemed to think about it for a moment. Then....

"Sorry sister, Diana has an appointment" answered soberly without guilt.

"Other times if you have time, may I play home!" pinta Tedja is hoping.

Diana simply replied with a light nod. Tedja also left Diana, looking from his face that returned with disappointment. Diana never allowed a boyfriend to visit her home. Because in his view, the man who comes to the house is a man who already wants to undergo a serious relationship with him. He has a high mind, so there is not the slightest bit in his heart to play games, let alone play with feelings. It was avoided by Diana, because in her view someone who had dared to feel love was someone who would also be strong facing the wound.

*************

Diana came home on foot. He decided to hurry home and went to the market to buy materials to make key chains that had been ordered by friends at school. He immediately cleansed himself and carried out his duties. Seen little Ifan who is currently sitting on the Elementary School bench is playing with his bicycle.

"Sir, where is this beautiful?" ask ifan plain.

"Hey, you forgot that you are already beautiful" Diana smiled as she approached Ifan.

"That's not the answer to my question, huhhh.", Ifan then pedaled back his bike.

Diana did not pay much attention to her sister, she immediately asked Oma for permission to go to the market. When he was already in front of the fence, someone who was riding a motorcycle stopped right in front of him.

"Assalamualaikum", greet someone who turns out to be Faiz's brother.

"Waalaikumsalam" Diana replied briefly.

"Where's the deck going?" ask Faiz.

"You go to the market" Diana replied briefly.

"Come together, I happen to also want to go to the market in order to send ibuk" Faiz said offering his services.

Faiz's gaze was attached to Diana who was wearing a pink-colored robe in line with her hijab. He seemed to start admiring the girl, as Diana's appearance grew more and more graceful. Not like when he first met the girl.

Diana finally accepted Faiz's offer, considering the weather was very hot. The sun does not want to be friends with everyone. Make a sweat pouring on anyone who is touched by its rays. Diana got on Faiz's motorcycle. It only took ten minutes, they finally arrived at a shop.

"Thank you, sister" said Diana.

"Yes, oh yeah you haven't? Let brother wait", Faiz again looked for an opportunity to approach Diana.

"No need, sister, let Diana go home later" reject Diana smooth and immediately rushed to leave Faiz.

'Huft.....So there's a girl who's resisting my kindness'. Faiz Mumbled.

Diana continued her footsteps through the shop there, looking for anything she needed to make a keychain. When he was busy choosing a ribbon, suddenly someone from behind greeted Diana and patted her on the shoulder.

"Diana.", said a middle-aged woman.

"Mom Lani..." Diana greeted and hugged Bu Lani.

Diana had not seen Ms. Lani for a long time, well, exactly since she has not worked there. Bu Lani also invited Diana to sit in a stall on the edge of the market. He wanted to let go of the longing because he had not met Diana for a long time.

In between their conversations, actually Diana was eager to ask news about Andre. But he undoes his intentions, because he does not want Bu Lani misunderstood with him. Until finally Bu Lani who opened up spoke.

"Diana, next week you can come to the mother's house, next week you have a vacation right?" Ms. Lani tried to make sure.

"Yes ma'am, Diana must have played to my mother's house" Diana said again.

"It's not just to play, but you have to help mom. About next week Andre will be engaged, I need your help to decorate the parcel that will be brought to the home of the prospective mother", said Bu Lani who sounded a little disturbing Diana's mind.

Then Diana nodded small. And did not show any expression in front of Bu Lani. He was quite self-aware, from the beginning he was reluctant to welcome Andre for fear of having a sense that was not in place.

"Oh yes buk, after getting engaged when will Mas Andre get married?" ask Diana back.

" Maybe two months later, if the women's families agree" explained Bu Lani.

"Don't forget the message of knick knickknacks thanks to Diana yes ma'am, Diana must love the discount price for mom and Mas Andre" said Diana again with a cheerful smile.

Bu Lani only realized that her eldest son used to like Diana, considering that Bu Lani became unwell.

"I'm sorry Diana, I know Andre used to be close to you" said Bu Lani sadly.

Diana smiled wryly and explained to Bu Lani that she did not mind. He considered Andre's feelings in his first was only limited to admiration, or pity.

After it was felt that it was long enough to talk finally Diana said goodbye to Bu Lani.

*************

In the room, Diana was still busy struggling with knickknacks and ribbon ribbons in her room. While knitting the ribbon and knickknacks, he remembered Andre who had once approached him.

"That's how easy it is to say, you said I was your first love?! I can't even believe there's a first love in this world. For me my love is mom, papa, sister, oma and opa. The rest is not important to me. Hopefully I won't see anyone like you again", Diana said to herself in her room until she didn't realize Kevin was her brother coming into the room.

"Who's mbak?" Kevin surprised Diana.

"You know, ngaggetin' a ghost" Diana throws a small pillow at Kevin. "You what?" ask Diana again who understands the meaning of her sister, yes.always this Kevin if there is a want her must be looking for her brother.

"Hi hi.tau. Ma'am, I want to participate in swimming training, yes", said Kevin memelas.

"Let's go, let's not be stupid like mbak, the man should be able to everything" said Diana again.

"But.", it's not finished Kevin continued the word he said.

"Definitely UUD.", replied Diana who made Kevin grin. "Always, the end of the money. Here, go there!" said Diana was upset but still gave a piece of money to her sister.

'Look Ma, Pa. Don't you miss us....?' Diana who arrived suddenly remembered her mother and papa felt tight on her chest, like there would be water that would spill from her clear eyes. But he immediately deleted it and did not want to act crybaby. The ringing of Diana's cell phone made her gaze switch to the small object....

"Private number called....."
