How Matcha Love You's

Forgetting?

After Malik returned to the city, Sarah and Ms. Siti remained. Although they have often and are used to being left behind by the only male figure in their family, Malik's departure to the city always makes them feel lonely.

Usually every two or three days, Malik always contact his sister and mother. Sarah chose not to call first for fear of interrupting her sister's work. So no matter how much she missed, she was always patiently waiting. To this day Malik has returned to the city for three days, but this time he has not contacted his family. Ms. Siti began to feel homesickness, but there was nothing she could do but pray for the good of her child.

Sarah and Ms. Siti had dinner together as usual.

“Your sister hasn't called?” Ask Lady Sarah.

“But Bu.”

“Oh maybe your brother is busy.”

Although Ms. Siti was worried, she did not want to show it to Sarah. He must remain calm so that his son does not worry about him.

“Oh yes ma'am, yesterday Gani asked for sister number, he said also want like sister working out of town.”

“Oh so.” Answer Mom Siti briefly.

“Yes, honestly I want to be like brother Salma, we want like brother to each other haha.”

“We better not mention Salma in front of your sister.” Ms. Siti felt she had to say it for Malik's sake so she wouldn't be bothered with her sister's babble later.

“Why Ma?.” Sarah's expression suddenly changed.

Because he felt his son was old enough to know this, Ms. Siti also told him that Malik was rejected when he wanted to propose to Salma.

Hearing this, Sarah was surprised. Not surprised at the rejection, but he never thought that his brother liked the people he often praised. Sarah feels guilty, thinking Malik likes Salma because of her chatter that often tells him good things about Salma. He asked Ms. Siti if Malik had that feeling.

“Of course not.” Answer Ms. Siti.

“Keep how about sister?” Sarah asked back.

“He must forget about it, so we must help him.” Reply Bu Siti.

Sarah who heard Bu Siti's reply felt a little relieved, but somehow this made her feel sorry for her brother. Although he has never been in love, but according to his estimation it is not easy to forget the loved ones. Sarah can only pray that her sister can control her feelings and get someone the best.

On campus, after the completion of the class Salma still sat in his place, had not yet moved to get out. Nanda who saw it, immediately approached.

“Fixed here?”

“Iya anyone I want to see.” Salma looked at the note.

“Alright” Nanda stays next to Salma.

“Oh yes Sal, can I ask you something?”. Further.

“What's up?”

“It looks like I'll consider it.” Reply Salma.

“Really? Are you going to forget it?”

“As it should be.” Salma's a little choked up.

“What's Sal?” Nanda looked at her friend who didn't seem okay.

Salma chooses not to tell Nanda, she feels she has told too much about Malik, Salma is afraid it makes it more difficult to forget Malik. He thought maybe if he had been quiet from the start, not telling Malik to Nanda it would have been better. Nanda was not worried about him because the man his friend liked was someone he might not have considered giving certainty nor would he bring it up at a time like this.

“I have many more thoughts. Now I have to focus and read a lot. Also just feel a little tired.” Salma reasoned.

“Oh sorry, spirit.” Nanda chose not to continue.

As per Fiki's request, Nanda wanted to start telling Salma a little about the good things about her. But because Salma could not be bothered at this time, Nanda chose to undo his intentions for some time to come.

Fiki who knows Salma is not being disturbed because the preparation of the thesis trial feels more patient. He thought that to get something big also had to sacrifice something big anyway. In this case, patience is what he has to sacrifice. Even so, Fiki still contacted Nanda to ask about Salma's condition when she was a little loose from her work.

Today, Gani wants to talk to Sarah because yesterday failed to see her. After school, after class, Gani follows Sarah to the parking lot to pick up her bike.

“Sarah” Call Gani.

Sarah says that it is true that Malik likes Salma, so Gani immediately said his desire to help improve the relationship between their brothers.

“I don't want to interfere, it's their business.” Firm Sarah.

“You said that because you don't know how your brother is doing, I saw my brother so hurt, I can't bear to do nothing.”

“You can do something without interfering.” Answer Sarah lightly.

“How?”

“Prayer, just pray for the best for Brother Salma, sorry I can not help your wishes.” Sarah grabbed her bike and left.

Sarah didn't want to ruin the mood. Although he admitted Gani's intention was good, but he did not think it was the best way. She realizes her brother and Salma are indeed different, though admits that Malik is a near-perfect man in her eyes, but Salma is more than that. Her brother deserved to step back and let go of his feelings. Sarah wants to help her brother to be free from his feelings and return to calm as before.

In the midst of his busy life learning to prepare for the thesis session that soon, as much as possible Salma should be able to regulate his emotions. Although the feeling of disappointment can not be lost because his love is now not okay and also has not decided whether to give up or maintain his love for Malik. The most important thing for him now was to pass the trial that he had long awaited in order to get the degree that he dreamed of becoming a medical scholar.

Sometimes Salma had to pause from her busy life. Recalling some of the sweet memories he passed with Malik, although not much but it really made him happy at that time. Salma never thought things would be like this. Why is the problem with the blessing of his parents? His parents who had never previously forbidden anything, why should they oppose his feelings?. But now he can't do anything. No matter how much he loved Malik, he could not oppose his parents.

Salma didn't give up, she was sure her parents weren't that hard on her. Maybe his parents were like this because they were worried about his future. Yesterday Salma contacted Malik, wanting to say not to worry about it because she knew her parents who had never banned her before. Salma wants to be with Malik, they are both patient and pray for blessing. But in fact other problems hit him, Malik wants them to stop and forget each other.
