Loving in silence is a choice that sometimes makes the heart feel claustrophobic. But it becomes a wise choice when we never know where the end of the taste we have. Simply stare in silence, escorting him in every step. God is always there to protect him and to protect him.
At least that was all Alfiani could do. When he saw the motorcade move away from his residence. There was a bit of tightness when he saw Andreas in the swing by a beautiful woman he knew named Diandra. But what can he be?, he is just an adopted brother Andreas Wiratama. His heart does not allow itself to be jealous.
No special words were said from the breakup with the man. All is normal, it's time he set his heart back. Leave it all to the Divine Robbi. He does not want the taste that settles on his chest to become a lust of the world. The greed to have a clear heart already inhabits.
Here, now Alfiani is sitting on a rock. Staring at the clear flowing river with feet extended into the river. Smiled to himself when he glimpsed the shadow of the figure he found here.
There are many words that cannot be broken, passed without meaning. But he also cannot reveal it. Maybe this taste as a tester, about sincerely releasing something that is glorified heart.
The highest sincerity is when we are able to let go of what we love most. Perhaps God is testing it now, about how sincere it is in his heart.
"Assalamualaikum '' the sound of the greeting returned Alfiani to consciousness after previously drowning in daydreams.
'' Wa'alaikumussalam warrohmatullohi wabarokatu '' said Alfi while turning and looking up, looking at Salwa who was walking while carrying flip-flops in his hands.
'' Yes Alloh Al, you are not frustrated because of the stay in Mas Faiq right ? '' salwa who is now sitting next to his friend. Alfiani smothered the mouth of his best friend who spoke the origin.
'' You said Sal''Song Alfiani. Salwa took off the lump in her mouth. Then laugh crisply.
'' Yes anyhow why you medi here?, again early inget-inget met mas Faiq right ?'' ledek Salw.
'' Ngaco '' denied Alfiani even though his heart agreed. '' Which book I asked for. You didn't bring it ?'' alfi continued, who asked his best friend to come to bring a book for Alfiani teaching materials later in the afternoon.
" Nih "Salwa held out the book she had just picked up from the sling bag the girl was wearing .
" Thank you, said Alfiani after receiving the book he had asked for. A few moments both of them were silent. Alfiani opened the book in his hand. Salwa is playing with her phone.
" I can't believe it, Mas Faiq already has a girlfriend" said Salwa, who just put her phone in a bag.
" What are you ?" salwa continued after being silent enjoying the gurgling water flowing in the receding river.
" What is ?" Alfi asked back, looking at the bowed Salwa looking at his feet playing with water.
" Your feeling "Alfi smiled gently, then closed the book that was being read. Looking far ahead. Sighs a long breath and then says.
" A definite loss. Someone suddenly seems empty. God willing will have no effect on my life. Think of this as a new test that God gave me. When I suddenly felt something different and special. But in that moment God took it and put it all back where it should be." Alfi stopped talking for a moment staring at the blue-looking sky in the garnish of thin clouds that moved in the wind.
" Maybe I should suppress this feeling, lest I fall asleep to the world. Of course, never expect anything from humans, because Allah is where we hang the highest hope. The point is I am not impressed with Andreas, but I am also sincere he lived his destiny with anyone ", concluded Alfi. Although there was a bit of tightness when he saw the man join Diandra but he would not let his heart hurt and broken by the sense that he should be able to control.
Salwa patted her best friend's shoulder, making Alfiani turn towards Salwa. The Hadith gave two thumbs up making Alfiani laugh.
" Okay except for love, it's time we look ahead. Stringing our dreams "said Salwa who embraces the shoulder of the friend with a look forward with a look full of optimism. Alfi smiled broadly at the spirit of his best friend.
" Keep your plan after college what ?" alfiani asked, making the look on his face full of excitement. Salwa let out a long, uninspired breath.
" I told you to take care of the family business." Salwa sluggish. He is the only child of Mr. Hardi and Ms. Fatma who have a factory business know that is quite extensive network.
Replace now Alfi who patted his best friend's shoulder. " It's nothing but Sal, nothing as your devotion to Father Mother. "soft Alfiani.
" But I want ngabdiin my knowledge Al "sahut Salwa, who felt his school in vain if finally plunge in the factory know also .
'' Can you join in madrasah or PAUD Sal, not eat your time all day so you can still worry about people who work. "
" Nantilah have not thought "said Salwa who felt lazy to think ahead will how .
