How Matcha Love You's

Traumatizing

“Really?”

Nanda nodded confidently.

Salma was again disappointed, someone who was expected to replace Malik in his heart was not expecting it again like a few months ago. Salma realized she had really wasted a good person wanting to get close to her. He had to accept the reality of someone who had fought for him not forever like that. Love has time and limits to wait for the desired reply, if someone who is intended seems unable to give a reply as expected then love should have reached that limit. Boundaries that become the final path that beckons anyone to stop continuing hope for his feelings.

“What's up?” Nanda looked at Salma who was silent like she was not excited.

“It's okay.” Salma forced her smile, not wanting her friend to know that she was disappointed to hear that Fiki no longer wanted her.

Nanda tells how much Fiki was expecting Salma back then. Although she says that Salma will not be easy to love someone especially when it also likes Malik, Nanda asks Fiki to give up. But because of his feelings are not playful, Fiki still wants to fight.

“I really felt relieved, when we met again he did not talk about you at all, in the slightest.” Nanda looks really happy.

“Sgratitude.” Salma's reply covered her disappointment.

Again Salma did not find someone right to replace Malik.

After the bell rings indicating that today's learning is over, all students prepare to go home. Gani wants to greet Sarah after a few days of refraining from doing so. Now Gani has the courage to do what she used to do to Sarah. Simple little things like greeting, giving a smile hoping to get a similar reply and talking about light things interspersed with jokes. Although it sounds simple but it really makes him happy and longing if a few moments have been missed.

“Sarah” Call Gani who has been following the steps of Sarah who wants to take her bike in the school parking lot.

“Gani, what's up?” Sarah turns her body around and finds Gani following her.

“It's okay.” Gani smiled.

Sarah also smiled at the behavior of her friend. They also keep going hand in hand.

Today, Malik intends to return the ketupat dish container that Tari gave him about a week ago. According to him, returning it empty was not appropriate, so he planned to fill it before returning it to Dance.

As usual Malik walked to the school because the distance of the house he occupied with the school where he taught was quite close only about 100 meters. On the way, Malik stopped at a donut shop on the side of the road. Malik asked the seller to put the donut he bought into the container owned by Tari and put the container into his bag.

Dance felt her heart was not in its usual state. Coupled with someone who kept ringing in his head. That person was none other than Malik his new co-worker. Malik who is not only handsome, but also friendly and has a good attitude makes Dari smile herself when remembering it. It looks like Malik managed to shake the sturdy wall that Tari made to protect her heart from a few years ago, after she managed to break away from her former lover Aldi who was her classmate during High School.

At that time, after they were almost dating for two years, Tari only realized that Aldi had used her. Not only Aldi who always ask for answers to his duties, but also often ask for pocket money he has. With resignation Tari handed over her allowance to her boyfriend at that time when asked. He never refused, let alone rebelled. All of this he did for a long time. Several times Aldi was also found to have betrayed him with other women. But because Aldi immediately apologized to her and seemed to do it sincerely, Tari again accepted it. Dance did not understand clearly with her feelings why she wanted to do all that. What is clear is that the trauma is still felt, after venturing to release Aldi from his life. Although after they broke up Aldi several times asked Tari to get back together, but because of his determination, Tari still tried to stay away. Until now only this time Tari felt her heart tremble because of someone after the last time she felt while with her ex.

“Bu Dance live where?” Ask Ms. Lina.

“I stay in orchid road bu.” Answer Dance.

“Ngekos bu?.”

Tari said that she lives at home with her parents.

“Means now only Mr. Malik and Mr. Duan occupy the official house yes.” Ms. Lina saw Miss Santi.

“Iya, used to be Mr. Ferdi too but now he has bought a house around here.”

Bu Lina nodded in agreement.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” The new Malik said.

All the teachers in the room returned their greetings.

When Malik opened his bag, he found a container owned by Tari filled with donuts that he just bought. Initially Malik wanted to return the container immediately, but seeing that there were other teachers who would see him, he undo his intentions. Malik does not want this to be a slander for him and also Dance.

Salma did not think too much about her current feelings, she wanted to follow the flow according to god's plan and did not want to be too hard-working for fear of being let down by her own expectations. Honestly, he's a pretty picky guy first he likes Malik who he thinks is the most handsome and best guy he's ever met. It will take time and consideration to decide to choose someone else especially if he thinks someone has a standard that is less than Malik in terms of attitude, behavior and good looks. When he started thinking about someone, Salma always compared him to Malik until now he has not found the right one.

Now Salma is quite close to Resya, even they often spend time off work and eat in the cafeteria together. Resya's character which is a little similar to Nanda makes Salma feel easy to accept. Resya often calls him first during work breaks.

“Excuse me, doc.” Resya while knocking on the door of Salma's closed workspace.

“Please.” Salma had guessed it was Resya.

After all the students left the class, Tari tidied up her book and walked over to step outside the room. Dance to the teacher's room.

“Bu Dance.”

Dance turned her body and found Malik who turned out to be the one who called her.
