Nanda looked at Tari, it seemed like what she had just thought that Tari had feelings for someone who was also loved by her good friend was right. Nanda furrowed his brows while stirring his drink.
“Pay attention?” Asked Nanda while playing his drinking straw, he did not really expect a serious answer from Tari because considering the new situation they faced was quite draining his energy and mind.
Dance did not answer.
Realizing that Tari seems to be worrying about something, Nanda again sees Tari, despite choosing not to say anything.
“I was very surprised to hear the story of Malik at that time, when he said that his relationship and Salma was not sanctioned two years ago. It's been two years? Isn't that... a little crazy? I saw Malik so hurt a while ago when he found out that this time the relationship was not sanctioned by his mother. Haha.” Dance then smiled cynically.
“He's known for a long time that his feelings won't be easy to fight for. But why does he stay that way?” Further.
Hearing what Tari said, Nanda simply listened and lowered her head. It seems that all this time Salma was not alone, his friend was always expecting a man who was his first love, it was also like him. Malik is no different than Salma. Nanda, who is almost fed up with hearing Salma often tell Malik, rejects other men, and chooses to guard his heart for Malik's sake. It seems that someone who has always been guarded in the heart of Salma also did the same thing. Nanda didn't know what to say, at the moment he felt very confused between staying close to the meeting what they had done or telling the truth. Between these two things he realizes both will have good and bad sides for Salma. If Nanda chooses silence, Salma may find it easier to let Malik go, but this is a lie that may one day be exposed and will be very disappointing for his friend. For the second, if Nanda chooses to say what really happened, Salma will probably feel relieved and come back expectantly for her love, he believes Salma and Malik are a human couple who love each other sincerely, but it's not easy because in reality they will struggle more to get blessing or will do other difficult things to fight for their feelings or also maybe they split up in a very painful feeling for both. Nanda looked away at the passing vehicle from the glass wall of the cafe.
“Did Salma also love Malik that much? Does he love the love he receives?” Tanya Tari again looked at Nanda, then also stared blankly at the street outside the cafe.
Salma nodded.
“At first I thought Salma was too crazy.” Nanda breathed out slowly.
“From college, before he got really close to Malik, he used to tell me about him. He was so excited back then, when there was no connection between them.”
“Then after he knew his parents did not want his relationship, he was so sad, many men liked him but he never accepted. It was like closing yourself off to another man. I felt very worried at that time.”
“Really?” Dari looks at Nanda seriously, although this is not so surprising for her especially considering the times when Salma met Malik. The feelings between them were so clear. But he didn't think that Salma had expected Malik for a long time.
“Iya.”
“Has he never been with anyone else?” Curious dance.
“Some time ago she just broke up with her co-worker at the hospital. At first I felt very relieved to hear he had a lover, but it did not last long.” Reply Nanda.
“Do you know why he broke up with his ex?”
“What?” Said Tari furrowing her brows.
“You know? I didn't even see the slightest sad face after she broke up that time. Much different when he found out that his relationship was not condoned with Malik and today.” Nanda said in despair.
“Dan.. which happened when he came back with Malik, he looked so happy.” Nanda continued, holding his head with both hands. He was really worried about what he had done.
“Haaaa do you mean maybe all this time Salma also only loves Malik even with others?” Dance leaning on the chair. He also felt the same way as the person in front of him.
“What have we done?” He continued, he felt bad for having done something that even he did not know for sure whether it had a good or bad impact on his co-worker's relationship.
‘’’’
Malik chose to go home shortly after Salma left her at the cafe some time ago. Now Malik has entered his village. From a distance, although the street lights did not make his vision so clear, but Malik realized that he saw someone seem to stop by the side of the road. After getting closer, his heart instantly thumped faster. A new pain for a few moments he can offer a little, felt again. He realized that the person not far from him was Salma. Although he had time to come to Salma and calm him who seemed to continue wiping his face with both hands. However, Malik realized, he had no obligation and had no right to do that. With a bit of hesitation and a heavy heart, Malik continued his bike and when it was right near Salma he braced himself not to turn his head. Malik drove his motorcycle without seeing a woman who until now still fills his heart.
Salma breathed her breath again. Upon realizing that someone was going through the street beside her, Salma immediately dried her tears. She kept wiping away her cries and until someone who passed her had gone through her, Salma looked ahead. “What?” Guman Salma when he realized that someone new through it was Malik.
Salma didn't bother, she was already crying enough. Even though the pain is still felt. Salma wished that if she still felt claustrophobic in her heart, she would again proceed to shed it later when she was alone in her room. “Ayo.” Salma braced himself and then returned to the bike.
Arriving at home, Salma opened the unlocked door slowly. She was relieved to enter the house and did not see her parents in the living room. Salma immediately headed for her room.
“Hei.” Salma is shocked by the existence of Gani who almost bumps into her while heading for her room.
Gani who saw her brother seemed to be in a hurry to make herself pay more attention to her brother.
“What's with big brother's eyes?” Ask Gani when she sees Salma's eyes look puffy.
Salma is afraid that what Gani says will be heard by her parents, she immediately pulls Gani into her room. After being in the room, Salma closed the door.
“Tsutt.” Pinta Salma so that Gani does not tell his parents about his condition.
“Kakak cried?” Gani asked worriedly regardless of Salma's request.
