The sun began to crawl over his quarrel. The scorching rays sting the skin. But did not dampen the steps of two adult men down the path in the middle of the village.
" Where's Mas Fariz going, on foot ?" ask a mother who is babysitting her child in the yard.
" Want to read the house, I want to go this way ma'am nemenin city people said he wanted to go for a walk Fariz said with a friendly smile. Andreas only nodded in salute to the woman who was now staring at Andreas with a peeking look.
'' Oh this is the mas who used to live in Fariz mas house huh ?'' asked the mother after confirming the friendly face that was smiling at her.
" Yes mom, I haven't been visiting for a long time. So take a walk . Let's go ma'am !"
" Let's mas "
Andreas and Fariz continued. Walk the streets through plantations planted with papaya, vegetables and chili. The atmosphere that Andreas missed during the pull-out from this village.
" It really feels like coming home" Andreas murmured which was still clearly heard by Fariz.
" It feels like breathing is really plong if in the village. In the city, it feels tight. Too much pollution, vehicles to accumulate on the road. Factory smoke to blacken " complained Andreas while continuing to step .
" But in the city it is easier to collect rupiah coffers, another with in the village. Farm production is not clear on price. When the harvest is much, the price will drop, while if the harvest fails then the price skyrocketed ", said Fariz, the two men walked up the steps of the stairs to arrive at the reading house located on a slightly hilly land.
" Yes, every place will be more or less. It remains how we react "so Andreas, now they have come to a large field.with the building is still the same as a year ago when Andreas visited.
" Right is important to be grateful and can benefit all around us stay. "answered Fariz .
" Like your family always inspired me to be a more useful human being" Andreas said, smilingly finding many children playing together. It turned out that the spacious courtyard of the reading house had been conjured into a playground.
There are a lot of kids games there. From swings, slides and various other simple games. And the place also looks more beautiful with the flower garden there. Mango trees, rambutan and water guava.
" Unbelievable" muttered Andreas with a look of astonishment.
" Yes, Alfie always had an amazing idea. To invite the interest of children to come here, he made a place to play. Initially invite the children to play then he will introduce to the fairy tale. He always had a way of introducing books to the children here." said Fariz with a bright look, he was always proud of his only sister.
They circled the play area, greeting some of the young children who had not yet entered school, who were playing there with the mother.
Then the two men entered a reading house that had no occupants at school hours. Andreas circled the place. His book is quite complete, from textbooks, novels, fairy tales, books about agriculture and various other books.
" As long as Alfi's sick who's guarding Riz ?" asked Andreas while looking at the books on the shelf.
" Before Salwa her bodyguard, if now Nurul is guarding after she comes home from school." Andreas mangut-mangut responded.
They weren't there too long. Because that afternoon Andreas decided to follow Alfie. After home, they had lunch together.
'' So I'll take the train ?'' fariz asked after they sat back in the middle room after lunch.
That afternoon after performing four mandatory rakaat. Andreas in Fariz's bell drives to the station. The scorching afternoon did not change Andreas' intention to catch up with his woman. He could no longer harbor all the feelings that surrounded his heart.
" I've arrived Fariz said after arriving at the train station. The journey that only takes less than thirty minutes it feels quite short.
" Thank you, Riz" Andreas said, patting the increasingly gallant man on the shoulder .
'' Equally Mas, be careful on the way I go straight home mas, pity Salwa alone said Fariz who was nodded by Andreas. Fariz started the engine and then drove away leaving Andreas still standing there. After Fariz was no longer seen Andreas dragged his suitcase into the waiting area at the station. It seems the train he was about to ride had not arrived yet.
A little while later the train came, after performing the procedure that Andreas was supposed to get into the carriage. Breathing deeply reassures yourself that everything will be fine.
The step is to find a chair according to the number listed on the ticket that has been purchased online. A young man seemed to be a friend on the way. After making small talk, Andreas prefers to look out the window.
Enjoying the view that passed by the train he was riding. Sitting daydream while propping up the chin. The shadow of the encounter with Alfi made the heartbeat flutter. A beautiful face that never wears off in the shadows' is like dancing in the eye. The gentle smile that soothed the soul was so longed for.
The shadow of Alfi that kept haunting him brought Andreas into a deep sleep. They did not feel like they were at the destination station. Do not ask his heart which is now increasingly soaring because of the closer meeting.
Andreas boarded a taxi after showing the address on a piece of paper Fariz had written. Along the way Andreas repeatedly sighed. He tried to calm his suddenly nervous mind.
The rumbling in the chest grew increasingly. The happiness of meeting that beautiful girl makes the rhythm in my heart beat. But on the other side of his heart was an implied worry. What if Dad doesn't grant his wish to propose to the princess ?. Ah, it really feels like his heart is getting claustrophobic. Without realizing it, he made her sit up agitatedly.
After a journey of about 45 minutes from the station finally Andreas arrived at a simple house with the same address as listed in the paper.
'' He said it was Mas' house" said the driver who had just confirmed the correct address to a neighbor not far from there.
" Thank you, sir, said Andreas, reaching for the clutch bag and took some red money from inside, and gave it to the driver.
'' This is mostly mas '' said the fathers. Andreas smiled faintly.
'' Think of it as a father's fortune said Andreas.
'' Thank you God, may the destination run smoothly said the driver.
'' Amiiin Pak, pray for me said Andreas who was carried by the driver with enthusiasm.
'' It must be mas''
Andreas breathes in deeply and exhales slowly. Trying to calm his heart that seemed ready to jump from its place. It feels too thrilling.
" Al I came whispering as he stepped slowly into the terrace of the house that looked old. His eyes circulated around, until his eyes found the figure he longed for so much.
