Hugging Lover in Prayer

Hugging Lover in Prayer
Ahmad Arjuna Pratama's



Fajr had arrived, when the Adhan in I was holding the figure of the young man still pensive. A rejection, it hurts. Where many women are crazy about him, the girl who had been in the inferno will become a life partner, even rejecting him, without even seeing him first.


The photo of the girl in long straggles, looks seedy in the grip. At that time of choice he left it to both parents, when getting rejection, not only his heart was disappointed, but Father and Mother.


The sound of the door knocking.


Lazily he got out of bed.


"Let's go to Mushola." The father, as is the custom of always inviting him to pray together.


"Father just go first. Juna wants to get a mask first."


"Dad wait in front." Arjuna, the son only nodded faintly.


They have been here for a few days, the residence of Grandma Adila. A small village far from the city. After performing dawn prayers, Arjuna with his father walked along the edge of the village. There are still many trees, green grass, and beautiful flowers planted in the courtyard of the people's house. Since childhood Arjuna often stayed at the residence of his Grandmother during school holidays. He was very happy to live there, because the atmosphere was very different from the coast, where Father and Mother lived.


The grandfather had many rented houses in the place, and the Grandmother chose to move there and manage the rented home business. It was enough for him to live a luxurious life, since the birth of Arjuna, the Grandmother no longer likes to party and show off in decor. All there is a time, and for Adila, a simple life in the village with a rented loan business, it feels enough and comfortable to live in old age.


At Adila's suggestion, the girl was in Ahmad's family lyrics. The parents agreed, only the girl already had a lover. So love and affection for the lover, until the proposal Arjuna rejected.


"The name is not a soul mate. Juna can not force" he said when Agam asked his feelings, after being rejected.


"But you're becoming more quiet."


"That's Dad's feeling" sped up the pace. Today Arjuna intends to return to the city, because the work in the office has long awaited him.


"Daddy, not to the office?." He asked a little loudly, for there was a distance between them.


My dad said he was going to the office. So the father and son went to the city together. The mother, however, still lives there. Later in the afternoon after returning home from work, the husband will pick her up.


Take lunch time. How surprised Arjuna at the arrival of Syailendra. This one brother is very fond of making the heart beat fast. He came almost without a sound, lucky Arjuna had finished drinking before Enda patted him on the shoulder.


"Well brother came here?. You didn't work with Grandpa's company, did you?."


"You mean you're the chef here?. No dong. Brother just stopped by, wants to have lunch with you."


"I'm done" Arjuna pointed at the plate in front. The plate was empty.


"Aren't you waiting?" eda's forehead immediately wrinkled.


"Abang didn't say from the beginning if you want to have lunch together. It's not Arjuna's fault."


"Yes, accompany your brother to eat."


"okay! ok fine!. But Bang, the food at Abang's restaurant is better. How come you're here?."


"It's not your restaurant!." Enda.


"Yes know. That restaurant has Abi Khair. But you're the CEO."


"Where is the CEO holding the same pan of frying pan. Active in the kitchen dirty anyway" said Enda while ordering food.


Arjuna smiled slightly, putting on his mask"Some, this is my brother for example."


"No. It's a habit."


"You're so handsome---."


"Abang is more handsome" sambar Arjuna.


Chuckles, that's what always happens when he loses arguing with Arjuna. This young man in front of Enda was not without reason to wear a mask. As a child he had an accident, falling while chasing a kite. Of course, the one who taught chasing kites was Enda, when they went to the village where Grandma Adila lived. His chin was injured and had to be sewn. Shame because of the wound that makes him always wear a mask.


In addition, there is another reason why he always wears a mask. Having a handsome face, a sharp nose with a jawline that adds to the good looks of an Arjuna, he also has a mole under the right eye, making him often the center of attention. He who has the nature of the Mother, does not like to be the center of attention, feels more comfortable when wearing a mask.


Bespectacled, with a mask and a hat, such is the style of Arjuna when he was in college. Until now, the style is still often a choice, with earphones in the ear, Arjuna fortifies themselves from others.


Other than the family, and the friends of Mother's father, Arjuna did not have many friends. As of now, he only had Enda. Enda again, Enda again. When difficult or happy, the son of friends Father and Mother is a place to share. Arjuna who is quiet, irritable to talk, and does not like crowds, is very different from Enda who is tidakilan. Nebulous and always cheerful. Even so, Arjuna can be a lot of talk when with Enda. Yes!, only Enda. Enda's sister named Mecca rarely talked much with him. Though Mecca always had the capital to invite her to chat, and Arjuna always had a word that made their conversation end.


"You, nglamar gag kok not tell."


Akh!! this chat. Arjuna wanted to go far away. It was a plan, and it was rejected. There was a sense of annoyance because the news reached Enda, which means he became the subject of chatter of others.


"Where is the girl?. Brother wants to know, as beautiful as what is the person, to dare to reject you."


Holding Enda's hand, at the tepis of Arjuna"Had Bang. Don't talk about girls anymore. Her name's not a soul mate, what else."


"Don't want to see the guy."


"It is not permissible to look at a woman who is not a mahram" Arjuna said, folding both hands to her chest.


"Qc!. Kyai granddaughter, if you say girls like to bring mahram."


"Kayak Abang is not a grandson!" arjuna's reply made Enda laugh. They were talking about Kyai Bahi, hopefully not sneezing his people in the boarding house there.


"Let's dong Jun, tell me which girl?."


"Working at work."


"Continue?."


"Keep what?."


"Say you in her photo. Here you see."


"Juna is back." Lies. In fact, the photo of the girl looks shabby on her desk, at the residence of Grandma Adila.


"Akhs! Juna is not cool!" seloroh Enda's.


"It wasn't cool before. That's why people want to win just Abang doang." Instead of putting on a sad face, when saying that Arjuna looks mediocre.


To be continued...
