Hijab And Waiting

Choose which one?

The sound of dangdut music was very painful in Diana's ears, he seemed to want to drown himself alone rather than having to hear music like that which he really did not like. Amidst his debate with Purnama, there was a young man who approached them and seemed to want to seek information from Diana and Purnama.

"Sorry, can you ask me?", the young man told Diana politely.

"Yes, what's wrong?" ask Diana back.

"Place the re-list where ya mbak?" ask the young man again.

"Oh that's mas, there", Diana pointed towards a committee table. "There is a man, his name is Abi, I can ask him", Diana added.

"Oh yes, know my name Hafiz", Hafiz reached out, but Diana just cupped her hands up without welcoming Hafiz's helping hand.

"I'm Diana" Diana said.

There was no small talk between the three of them, but Purnama was not too indifferent to the chatter between Diana and Hafiz. Until the end of her life Hafiz asked for Diana's mobile number, and somehow only this time Diana easily gave her mobile number to others. In the middle of their conversation, the end of the number of participants belonging to Hafiz was called. Hafiz left Diana and Purnama.

"Pur, if the sound is ugly, we run away yuk....Shame".", said Diana who still held herself in the middle of the event that she did not like it.

"Yes, after this we go home", replied Purnama relaxed.

The music began to sound, actually the song was good, only Diana who was not accustomed to the music dangdut felt very amused to hear it. Until the moment Hafiz let out his golden voice.

How much the heart misses you

duhai my lover

come back to me

duhai my lover

The song titled Desire which at his time was popularized by Ridho Rhoma son of dangdut king Rhoma Irama (Why be complete really well? ahaha). It was sung by Hafiz in a very melodious voice. The audience was hypnotized by Hafiz's appearance. The sound is so sweet, perfect. The jury gave Hafiz excellent judgment and comments. Diana was ashamed of herself.

"Udah yuk home!" take Diana first to Purnama.

"So he said if it's not good we run away, then it's a good sound to run away too anyway?" said Purnama annoyed.

Diana simply smiled shyly.

***********

Today was Diana's last day of work, as the day after Diana was about to enter school as usual. Fadhil was a little sad, because he could not get as close as usual to Diana. But they remain good friends. Even this time Fadhil more often contact Diana through her mobile phone. No different from Fadhil, Hendra also had his own way to approach Diana. Today Hendra plans to drive Diana home, as it just so happens that today Fadhil is working out of the studio. Hendra also plans to declare his love for Diana.

"Today I'm the one who drove you home, yes Di", woo Hendra.

"Do not miss, ntar ngerepoti again", Diana tried to refuse him. But in various ways, Hendra finally managed to persuade Diana.

In the afternoon when work time was over, Diana also cleaned her goods, considering that from tomorrow she was no longer working. Hendra's uncle gave the studio a brown envelope containing Diana's two-week paycheck. Diana accepted it with great pleasure. Hendra came out of the studio room and already held the key to his motorcycle which he would use to drive Diana home.

"Om, I sent Diana home first huh", said Hendra with a shy smile and answered with a nod by her Uncle.

Once at Diana's house, it turns out Hendra does not want to go home immediately, he wants to invite Diana to chat for a while. Considering that tomorrow she no longer works, Diana finally did not mind. Diana went into the kitchen and made Hendra a glass of hot tea. They sit on the porch of the house. Diana had already put on an uncomfortable face when she entered the house, and Oma was just trying to guess what Diana was thinking.

"This sister, please drink her tea" said Diana as she put a glass of tea on the table.

"Oh yes, thank you Diana" said Hendra. "There's actually something I want to say to you" Hendra added.

"What did you say?" Diana seemed to know what things Hendra would talk about.

"Actually I've liked you for a long time Di, I love you, you don't want to be my girlfriend?" hendra said honestly.

Diana had guessed about it, sure enough. All these men when they are close to him must always be like this. Diana let out a long breath before speaking.

"Sorry, brother, I'm not going out yet. I'm afraid brother. My journey is long, maybe not yet. Once again sorry, brother, I can not" said the last words Diana made Hendra feel very disappointed, not long after Hendra was ready to go home.

After the incident, Hendra did not give up, he told Fadhil that he and Diana had been dating. Even Hendra created many lies to heat up the manation of Fadhil's heart (the stove is hot). Fadhil who heard Diana's expression also felt very unacceptable. He also plans to meet Diana.

Tonight Diana sat alone on the porch of the house looking at the sky full of scattered stars. His cell phone suddenly shook.

Assalamualaikum

An unknown number came in sending a message and was immediately replied to by Diana.

How's Diana doing? It's me Hafiz.

Diana smiled and started replying to the message from Hafiz. There was a long conversation between them, until finally Diana's sister the Ifan disturbed her.

"Mbak, play PS yuk. I'm afraid that someone will disturb me" Ifan's whining made Diana finally move from her seat.

"Mas Fadhil, what's the matter here?" ask Diana.

"What are you doing here yourself? Look here you own girl know", said Fadhil.

"Nemenin the Ifan play, afraid there is something jahilin him" said Diana honestly.

Fadhil smiled lightly and invited Diana to sit on the bench outside ordering a drink. Fadhil had planned to ask Diana about Hendra. Diana then put her phone in her pocket. Because I don't want to ignore Fadhil. Fadhil began to tell what Hendra told Diana. Diana looked surprised and angry. Because he felt Hendra had lowered his self-esteem as a woman. Diana swore to Fadhil that what Hendra said was not true. Fadhil tried to scrutinize Diana's attitude. There was no lie in his eyes. Fadhil clenched his hands in anger at Hendra who had demeaned the woman he loved.

"Thank you, tell me this story. I became more aware, which ones are sincere which are not" Diana said in a slightly disappointed tone.

"Yes, I just don't want Hendra to hurt you. I love you Diana. If you really like Hendra, I'll take it. But I can't accept that Hendra is vilifying you in front of me" Fadhil said.

"And I told you, I don't want to date. I was afraid that there would be a sense that had not yet come and controlled my heart. Thank you if you want to understand", said Diana again.

Ifan play time is over, finally Diana and Ifan say goodbye to return home.

From then on, Diana felt very angry with Hendra. He no longer wanted to be close to the young man and chose to keep his distance. Many messages Hendra that he did not reply. Even at the end of this he often responded to the attention given by Fadhil. Fadhil also often brought lunch to school when Diana had afternoon lessons at school.

***********

This morning Diana entered school, she was already preparing with her navy colored cage bag. Diana was still standing in front of the mirror, trying to improve the shape of her veil which was actually already good. Every now and then he looked at his cell phone, no incoming messages. Like waiting for a message from someone. Hafiz, a young man whom he knew at an art festival, still frequently sends messages to him. Until the day of the winner's announcement, Diana still gave information to Hafiz.

Actually there was a little admiration in Diana's heart to see Hafiz who had a melodious voice like the International Qori. But after the closing ceremony of the Art Festival, Hafiz and Diana no longer communicate. They seem to have lost contact. Hafiz was indeed a good young man, with his talent so that he won the champion at the art festival at that time. But unfortunately, they no longer communicate for a year until God finally reunited them. (Ntar discussed ye..in another chapter.hihihi).

Before the repeated encounter took place, for a long year Diana was still in a good communication relationship with Fadhil. The relationship without status made Fadhil comfortable, the important thing is that he can be close to Diana. Day passed by Diana. Until one day, Fadhil invited Diana on an excursion. Of course Ifan was always among them. Because Diana would not dare to be close to any young man if no one accompanied her.

Seeing Fadhil who had gone with Diana on holiday, caused anxiety in the heart of Faiz who also targeted Diana. Faiz sent a message to Diana.

I played home tonight!

What do I have to answer? Diana murmured in her heart. Then just send a reply with one word "yes"

Actually Faiz was the most handsome young man in the village, but somehow Diana was not the least bit interested in him. Obviously because of his famous prestige playboy.

*********

Tonight Faiz came by bringing Diana a bar of chocolate, maybe this is what Faiz always did to the girl in the village.

"Diana, are you home alone?", asked Faiz.

"No, that's Ifan again watching tv inside" replied Diana innocently.

"Oh yeah, Diana I bought two chocolates, but one I ate. It does not taste sweet, try to open yours, the same time" said Faiz who told Diana to open the chocolate in her hand.

Diana opened the chocolate and tasted it.

"Sweet" said Diana.

"So if you eat people sweet, the chocolate becomes sweeter", dreaded Faiz who makes Diana feel nauseous and want to vomit.

"Diana, do you want to be my girlfriend?" faiz's words made Diana choke.

"uhuk.....
