How Matcha Love You's

Limitations

Dance stopped her steps, she turned around and looked back at Malik.

“What?” Dari did not expect that the reality of the relationship between Malik and Salma like this.

“Please don't say anything.” Malik.

Dance nodded. He was still standing in his place while digesting what Malik had just said.

After a while they fell silent, Tari tried to go back to silence.

“Since when did you know that you were not sanctioned.” Tanya Tari steadied herself, she did not want there to still be a curiosity enveloping her. Actually, even though Tari has let Malik go, but he still cares about his coworkers. Malik remained in his heart, though his lips said no. It was not easy for him to forget, but he tried to let go because he realized there were other people who had filled Malik's heart.

“Two years ago.” Malik chose to tell the truth.

“Two years?” This time Tari was no less surprised than the previous one.

“Ya.” Reply Malik.

Dance held her head which somehow felt heavy. Two years? He thinks it's not a minute. According to him, it is not appropriate that Malik suffered so much like this. Why Malik looks still so kasmaran against Salma when it has passed long enough and obstructed blessing, it is not an easy thing. Malik should have let that go.

“Huh, what do you want to do now? will you still like it even if things continue like this?” Dari asked while showing a hint of a cynical smile.

Malik chose not to answer.

“Maybe you're trying even though I don't know exactly what you're working on. I just hope whatever it is you'll make it. If you need my help you don't hesitate, it's only because I care about Salma.” Tari said, she did not really understand what Malik felt, but tried to encourage him.

Malik slightly turned his lips to look at Tari. Wanting him to let out everything in his heart, not to be pitied or understood, he only wanted to bring out what had been raging in his chest. But he thinks telling too much about Dance is not so appropriate. Malik could not do so and chose to hold his own.

There's nothing wrong with what Tari said. For two years he shouldn't have been like this, he shouldn't still feel pain when he thinks about Salma. “I might just need more time.” Her thought. He does not give up, he will keep trying to live his routine and think as little as possible about Salma. Malik always busy himself so that he did not fall asleep in his mind who always wanted to think about his first love.

“Alright, I'm first.” Tari said and left Malik.

Malik went back to the teacher's room to pick up the bag and went home.

Salma sat pensively in her room, once in a while she opened a book about health that she had somehow read. Open sheet by sheet to read a glance, then get up from his seat. Looking out of the window of his room, exhaling violently. Then sat back down, this time Salma was playing her phone.

Salma sees Nanda's insta story busy with her proposal preparations that are just a few days away. Salma replied to his college friend's insta story by praying that the event to be carried out would run smoothly.

A few minutes after Salma sent the message, she had not received a reply. “Haha you must be busy” Salma muttered, this time unlike usual Nanda who almost always reply to his message quickly.

“Should I go with mom?”

“Atau...what's better by yourself.” Salma thought about her friend's proposal.

In other places, Mother is playing her phone, not inferior to today's children, Mother also has Instagram and follows Nanda's account. “Salma's time is like this.” He thought he saw Nanda who was showing the preparation of his proposal.

‘’’’

In the hospital.

After Salma had been in the operating room for about two hours, she immediately cleaned herself up and returned to her room. Salma occasionally stretches her muscles and sits back in her chair. “Huh.” Salma leaned her shoulders while looking at her phone.

“Aamiin, thank u bestiii” Seen reply message yesterday from Nanda.

Salma smiled seeing her message being replied to today. “Dasar”.

“Oh” Salma find ideas. He only thought after a moment of silence, he thought of Resya. “Yes, I can go with him.” Salma was a little relieved to think she didn't have to go with her mother to Nanda's proposal. Salma didn't want to go with her mother out of embarrassment, or any other lopsided thing. He just does not want his mother to feel uncomfortable because maybe most of the guests will come with their respective partners. He thinks it will annoy his mother and may also make him more urged to have a partner as well. That'll trouble him.

“Alright” Salma tries to send a message on Resya.

Not until 5 minutes, in a reply message from Resya.

“Now not” Resya reply message.

“I'll be in your room.”

Salma headed for Resya's office.

As Salma exited her room, she saw Pratama in front of her who also saw her. Salma chose to continue her steps.

Pratama is still in place. He kept looking at Salma until it disappeared from his sight. Pratama closed his eyes for a moment, he regretted having wasted Salma in his life.

Arriving in Resya's room.

“Hai.” Salma sat in the patient seat in front of Resya.

“How was the operation earlier, running smoothly?” Ask Resya.

“Alhamdulillah.” Salma felt grateful to have been given another chance to complete the operation successfully.

“Alhamdulillah.”

“What's up? I still have some patients before the break?” Resya.

“This week you are busy?” Salma.

“I plan to visit my aunt with my mother. Why?” Reply Resya, but also curious about Salma's intention to ask about his busyness on Sunday.

“I just want to take you to my friend's place.”

“Do you have to go with me? I can postpone to my aunt's house.” Resya replied with a little doubt.

“Haha no need, I can go with another.” Salma did not want to make Resya's plan void.

“Really?” Resya.

“Excuse.” I heard someone behind the door.

“It looks like it's a patient, and I can go with anyone.” Salma smiled and went back to her room.

Greetings in his chair. He recalled Gani saying a while ago that his sister supported his relationship with Malik. Salma breathed out violently.

Salma thought of giving herself some boundaries. A limit which if he has reached that limit then he must completely give up his first love.

“Have him?” Thought Salma.

Salma thought of Malik's decision which would be his last limit to hope. Salma will ask Malik to come to Nanda's proposal, but if he does not come, Salma promises her to insist on removing Malik from her heart.

“I'm not afraid.” Salma grabbed her phone.

Elsewhere, Dari was standing in front of Ms. Linda's desk, they had just discussed a student lesson. When it's over, Tari wants to get back to where she belongs.

“Bu sorry, all of you can please put this on the table Mr. Malik.” Said Ms. Linda to Dance as she extended her hand holding a book.

“Iya bu.” Dance took the book and immediately placed it on Malik's desk.

Malik's phone vibrated.

“Salma”
