How Matcha Love You's

Still Here

“Hah?” Dari felt sure Malik said something, but he could not hear clearly.

Malik just muttered, he deliberately said something that his interlocutors did not want to hear.

“I just asked you how it is.” Reply Malik.

“Oh.” Dance while nodding a sign of understanding.

‘’’’’

Salma and Sumi continued to talk about each other's news as well as the family close to them. They chose to talk in the kitchen because the family room was sleeping little daughter of his uncle. They chose to stay away so as not to wake Alika up.

“Assalamualaikum.” Gani said from the front while knocking on the door.

After a moment, there was no answer from inside the house, Gani again said his greetings and this time he said it louder.

“What is Gani?” Salma said after hearing the faint voice of her sister.

His uncle's house was quite large, although someone in front called out loud enough, if heard from the kitchen it would sound faint. That is also the reason Gani said greetings must be in a loud voice, so that if the person in the house is not in the front room can at least hear a little.

Salma moved to open the door.

While walking in the living room, Salma saw her little cousin sitting while rubbing her eyes with her hands.

“Alika you are awake?” Salma approached Alika.

“Assalamualaikum.” Again Gani said his greetings aloud.

“This must be Brother Gani who woke you up right? Basic.” Salma felt a little angry because her sister was too noisy to wake her cousin who was asleep.

“Waalaikumussalam.” Salma sped up her steps to open the door.

“Why are you so noisy?” Salma said as she opened the door and saw Gani standing in front of her.

“For you to hear my voice.” Gani answered lightly.

“But you woke Alika.” Salma looked at her sister with an annoyed look.

“Really? Sorry, but if I slow down from now until now no one opens me door.”

“What is no bell?” Salma was looking around the door of her uncle's house.

Gani.

“So since when is it here? Why.?” Tanya Gani in the middle of her brother still look at the walls of his uncle's house as if not so trusting the words of his sister who said that his uncle's house does not have a bell.

“So big brother there is the task of giving vaccines to SD.” students

“SD where?” Gani is curious even though she is not the type who cares so much about her brother.

“Di.” Salma tried to remember.

“SDN Aggrek 5.”

“There?” Gani pointed in one direction.

Salma nodded. “Seems like yes.”

“Why?” Further.

Gani was convinced that Malik also taught at SDN Orchid 5. She momentarily looked at her brother's expression, yet she found nothing different.

“Is there nothing there?” Ask Gani.

“You mean?”

“Kak Salma.” Alika came over and hugged Salma.

“Hai.” Salma crouched down and hugged her little cousin back.

Malik returned to the teacher's room, he immediately headed to his chair to put some books in his bag to be taken home.

“Assalamualaikum.” Miss Linda came into the room. Some of the teachers who were there answered his greetings.

Ms. Linda was sitting herself in the guest chair.

“Didn't there be doctors from out of town today who want to give vaccines to children?” Ask Ms. Linda.

“Iya ma'am, her doctor is home.”

Ms. Linda is one of the teachers and also the vice principal. He used to pay attention to guests who came to school including doctors who provide health facilities to his students.

“No ma'am, they had lunch here earlier.” Answer the business staff.

“Oh so.”

“Aduh.” Ms. Linda saw a ballpoint pen sitting on it.

‘’’’’

Salma and her sister and cousin sat in the living room watching tv, while Sumi was in the kitchen. Alika can not be separated from Salma until now she continues to be in the lap of her cousin sister.

“We snack yuk?” Take Salma to Alika.

“Ayok.” Reply Alika with enthusiasm while looking at Salma.

“Kakak don't really remember what snacks are around here.”

Although Salma used to go to school here, but now everything has changed. He felt not so sure his favorite snacks used to be still on sale around here.

“Hmm” Alika looks thinking.

“I want a donut.” It was after a while.

“Donat?”

Alika nodded. ”I want a chocolate donut.”

“Where do people sell donuts?” Salma saw Gani.

“Alika likes donuts near SD it sis, often buy there.” Sumi answered who came to them.

“SD?”

‘’’’’

After Malik finished some of his books, he went home. Malik stood up and stepped out of the room.

Before that, Malik passed the guest table and accidentally his gaze was fixed on a ballpoint pen lying on the table.

“Bolpoin who bu?” Ask Malik to Ms. Linda who is playing her phone.

“Oh it, earlier I found it here.” Ms. Linda pointed at the sofa she was sitting on.

“Looks like a ballpoint pen from one of the doctors. Previously I had never seen that ballpoint pen.” Connect the staff who sit not far from them.

“So who's sitting here?” Ask Malik.

“Doctor in hijab.”

Malik is convinced that this ballpoint pen belongs to Salma because it is exactly the same as the ballpoint pen he took on the hospital floor two years ago.

“I'm with Salma. Can I take it?”

“Iya, please. Although this is a small object, but if we can return it why not?” Reply Miss Linda.

“Good.” Malik immediately took the ballpoint pen and put it in the bag.

‘’’’’

Salma was riding a motorcycle with Alika. They want to buy the doughnuts that Alika wants.

Arriving at the donut shop, Alika is very enthusiastic about choosing the donuts she wants. Not only did he choose the taste of chocolate, but he also chose donuts with other flavors.

“How do you like chocolate?” Salma asked when she saw Alika pick a cheese-flavored doughnut.

“Taste of cheese I also like.”

“What? Hahaha.”

After paying, Salma and Alika exit the store.

Instantly Salma's steps came to a halt when he saw someone very familiar to him pass in front of him.

“Malik.”

Malik walked home.
