How Matcha Love You's

Holding Hands

Salma exhaled, wanting to send a message to Malik to ask if he had come home and would see Salma tomorrow as he had done in the last few weeks. But Salma chose to abandon her intention in light of Malik's words a week ago, she wanted to pick Salma up in the best possible way without breaking anything that religion would not allow, meeting and being alone with someone who is not a mahram is not a good thing especially it is done every week periodically, Salma confirmed Malik, said, he also felt that what he was doing and that Malik was not the most appropriate action. Salma put down her phone, she convinced her heart to be more patient waiting until Malik came to her house.

Salma looked at her entire room, she momentarily felt happy thinking that she would soon leave this room if she got married. Salma smiled thinking about that.

Salma's phone rang. He returned to his phone.

“Halo, assalamu’alaikum Nan.” Salma said after receiving the call.

“Wa’alaikumussalam. Have you been home from the hospital?” Ask Nanda.

“Iya, why?” Reply Salma.

“There's something I want to tell you. Can we meet?”

“What's up? Can't you tell me over the phone?” Ask Salma back. Although rarely met because of their respective activities, but Salma and Nanda still often communicate via telephone. But why did Nanda ask him to meet to tell her something today? Salma was worried, she thought she would accept Nanda's request because she felt a little worried that there was something her friend wanted to say, something unusual that could not be conveyed over the phone.

Nanda breathed out slowly. “I miss you too, I'm getting married soon don't you want to spend time with me before I give up my single?”

“Ah thank goodness.” Salma was relieved for the reason her friend just wanted to see her.

Hearing Salma say that, Nanda was curious about what her friend had just thought.

“What's up?”

“I think something happened, well I'll get ready.”

“Oke I'll send you the address.”

‘’’’

Two days ago, Malik tried to contact Nanda. They are friends and have a number for each other after Nanda's proposal show a few weeks ago. This is the first time Malik has contacted Nanda. It is not without reason that he did this, Malik will ask Nanda for help to launch his plan with Tari.

Elsewhere, Nanda has been enjoying lunch with her fiance. In the middle of enjoying his meal, Nanda's phone rang, he took the phone from his doctor's suit. Nanda widens his eyes when he finds out that Malik called him.

“Who?” Tanya Fiki looked at Nanda's expression after looking at her phone screen.

“Malik.” Nanda saw Fiki.

“Try lift.” Fiki Say.

Nanda obeyed what Fiki said.

While Malik put the phone in his ear, he was still waiting for his call to be received.

“Halo, Malik?” I heard someone taking the phone call.

“Iya.” Reply Malik, although feeling a little hesitant because maybe Nanda would be very surprised to hear his request, but this is all he can do so that Salma can see it as if she really has an affair with another woman.

“What's Malik?”

“Are you with Salma?” Ask Malik to make sure.

“No, why? Can't you reach him?”

“Not so. I want to ask for your help.”

Nanda furrowed his brows.

“What's up?” Fiki asked whispering to see Nanda who looked surprised.

“Help? What can I do?”

Malik said he wanted Nanda's help to get Salma out on Sunday night. She and Tari will be there, Salma must see her with Tari.

“What do you mean?” Nanda did not understand what Malik meant by asking him to do that.

“Sorry I have to involve you, but this I do for the good of Salma, she will be more difficult to let go of me if I keep good in her eyes.”

“Why do you want Salma to hate you?” Nanda asked, she started to feel riled up and thought Malik was not the man in charge after making her friend crazy about her.

“We are not sanctioned.”

“What are you afraid of before trying?” Further.

“This time, my mother did not allow me and I also realized that Salma was too perfect for me.” Malik said, he feels very bad saying this now, he is too late to say this after he realized that Salma also loves him.

“What?” Nanda took off her tablespoon, she now felt very upset hearing what Malik said. He thinks Malik has made a mistake.

“How can you say this now huh?” Nanda raised her voice.

“Tenace.” Fiki resuscitated Nanda who had attracted the attention of everyone who was also eating at their current place.

Nanda tried to calm himself down, he took a breath and exhaled slowly.

“Sorry, but.”

“I had to make him hate me so he could let go of me easier. You know we haven't been together for a long time, but Salma was expecting me. I think this is the only way, sorry I beg.” Malik continued, with all humility he really asked for help from a friend of someone he loved.

“How do I face Salma.” Nanda was frustrated.

“Sorry,.” Malik said while looking down, he realized this was also difficult for Nanda, but he could do nothing but this.

Nanda did not answer Malik's request. He asked Malik for time to think about whether he would help or not.

“Can give me time?” Nanda.

Malik could not refuse.

“Iya.”

“I believe you but.. If you change your mind, you can tell me.” Nanda.

‘’’’’

Salma rushed into the cafe Nanda had promised to meet him. Nanda waved at him.

“Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.” Salma said as she sat in front of Nanda.

Nanda only smiled, although he was relieved to have brought Salma here at Malik's request, but in his heart there was a greater sense of worry. He was really not ready to see his friend again feel the pain because it was betrayed by his lover. Nanda looked down while playing her phone.

“What's up? Is Fiki here too?” Tanya Salma saw her friend playing a cell phone as if waiting for someone.

“No, I only told her that you were in front of me hehe.” Nanda tried to keep him from looking different.

“Oh.”

“Have you ordered?” Say Salma while looking at the menu book.

“Not yet, please make the same order as you for me .” Pinta Nanda smiled.

“Oke.” Salma focused on reading the menu list.

On the other hand, Malik has been with Tari. However, Salma had yet to realize their existence.

“Right now.” Malik sent a message to Nanda.

From a distance Nanda looked at Malik while nodding slowly, while Salma still chose the menu.

Malik asks Tari to do their best, they must look like real lovers.

Malik looked at Tari sweetly, although his heart felt heavy to do this. While Tari was also doing the same to her, she was as if she was showing something on her phone.

“Malik.” Nanda said as he looked at Malik from a distance.

“What?” Salma followed Nanda's view.

Dari realizes Salma has seen her with Malik, she is trying to do something that strengthens her role. Dance held Malik's hand, then held it.

Malik tried to let go of Tari's grasp, but Tari tightened her grip. “Salma is looking at us.” Say Dance slowly.

Salma looked at Malik and Tari holding hands from a distance.
