How Matcha Love You's

A Mirror

“But this won't happen if I'm not selfish.” Salma bowed her head in guilt.

Fadil shook his head as well, although he did not blame his fate for Salma in the least, but he also felt guilty about bringing this up because it would make Salma feel guilty as she is now.

“I don't blame you, this is our destiny, I hope you don't blame yourself.” Fadil returned to see Salma.

“Thank you for saying that.”

Again Salma saw Fadil as a very good person. Although unwanted circumstances were happening to him, he was not sanctioned by his parents with his lover which all started after Salma asked him to stop their arranged marriage, but Fadil did not blame him. He actually feels more guilty when someone doesn't blame him. Salma thought that he had made good people suffer because of the mistakes he made. A goof? Either his decision at that time can be said to be a mistake. Most importantly it seems that the decision of the time was not in his favor for the present circumstances. Salma was not together let alone happy with Malik which was the core of the reason for his decision at that time.

“Thank you also for taking your time to tell me and do your best for my father's operation” Reply Fadil who wants to move on.

“I go.” Further.

“Wait.” Salma stopped Fadil.

Fadil returned to see Salma.

“May I ask you something about your relationship with your boyfriend?.”

Malik walked down the hospital hallway. For a moment he felt happy when he saw Salma happy, but his heart felt back crowded, realizing it was not really what his heart wanted. The faint smile Salma had just seen earlier made her mind remember Salma's smile for her first. A beautiful smile, which can be both soothing and pleasant, which was once for and only for her, has the recipient switched?. Although he was determined to let go, to be happy if he was happy and would let go of it with the air, it was only a determination that was easy to say but not with his realization.

Malik could not yet have a chest. “Salma.” His mind whimpering did not feel his pace slowing down by itself. In the hallway of the hospital that seemed deserted and no one was passing by other than himself at this time, Malik momentarily stopped his steps while looking at the ceiling of the hospital. “Astagfirullah O Allah, strengthen me.” His mind to re-enforce his steps. Malik tried to take a deep breath, then exhaled. Malik continued his steps.

Salma suddenly thought of knowing Fadil's plan for his relationship with his girlfriend in the future. Fadil is a wise man who maybe he can learn from his former fiancee.

“Sorry in advance are you busy?” Furthermore, Salma realized Fadil who was a company manager, not someone who had a lot of free time.

“No, I take leave.” Answer Fadil.

“Bby, you can ask.” Fadil sat back down.

“Did you choose to stay with your girlfriend?”

“You can't answer if you think it's your privacy that I shouldn't know. I just want to know and want to learn so that I can make proper consideration for my relationship and her.”

“For now I can't leave him because I'm with him.”

“She's been much better and I'm also better because of it. Although we had broken up, but when I came back together I saw the improvement of each of us. We both evaluated ourselves. I think he will always be in my heart. Do I sound so exaggerated? Haha” Fadil realized he had already said many things he felt to someone he did not know very well and was even his former fiancee.

“Sorry.” Further again.

Salma.

“I also feel excessive. I think forgetting is easy, I think following the parents' choice is easy. I was with her a year ago and declared that I was really in love with her. And when we were not blessed we parted, but my heart was always filled by him.”

“Maybe if the one listening to us is not like us, this will sound very excessive haha.” Salma.

Fadil also pursed his lips.

Salma nodded and exhaled violently.

“Applies as difficult as this.” Salma smiled.

‘’’’’

As Malik walked towards the prescription drug counter, suddenly a person called out to him. Hearing that Malikpun turned his head.

“I don't think you're here anymore.” Said that someone who turned out to be Dance. He thinks Malik went back to the hospital to visit him.

Malik looked at Tari without answering a word and smiled.

Seeing that Malik did not answer her, Tari felt she had to ask again to make sure what she thought was right or maybe the other way around.

“What are you doing?”

“I bought medicine for my uncle.” Malik answered kindly as usual. Although yesterday's incident said he had no feelings and was annoyed at the attitude of Dance, but Malik did not change one bit, he was still like Malik who was known to Dance before.

“Oh.” Although Tari was disappointed because her estimation was not right, she still showed her smile as if she did not feel anything.

“How is your grandmother doing?” Tanya Malik who makes Tari again feel slapped, “She still cares about my grandmother” Thought Tari was happy.

“Alhamdulillah is better.”

“Sgratitude.”

“I have to take medicine.” Malik continued to want to start his steps that had stopped.

“Oiya container slurry yesterday. Wait for me, I'll take it.”

“Good.”

Dari left Malik to go back to his grandmother's room to pick up the porridge container of his co-worker's. He sped up his pace so Malik wouldn't wait for him, “Later he didn't like.” Think of Dance with a smile.

After taking the medicine, Malik sat on a chair leaning against the wall of the hospital hallway to wait for Tari.

There were steps from a distance. Malik thinks it's Tari or someone else who visits or works at this hospital. He looked up and saw that it was Salma.

Realizing it was Salma, Malik immediately turned his gaze away. He immediately lowered his head. But he also could not tidy his heart that wanted to pay attention to him even though secretly.

Not much different from Salma, when he realized Malik who was in front of him, he also immediately shifted his eyes and only focused on looking ahead. Salma would never see her first love.

As before, after Salma passed him, Malik turned to look at Salma who was getting away from him. He kept looking, hoping it would stay that way until Salma disappeared from his sight.

In front of Salma is a glass door that can show what is in front of him like a mirror. Salma who continued to focus on looking ahead accidentally saw herself walking closer to that door and other than that there was something else she also saw. Upon realizing that, his steps stopped. “Malik” Salma realizes Malik is looking at her.
