IF YOU ARE A FOOL

Gathering

The more days my relationship with Siska gets the better. Even I had stopped by her house a lot and several times I was taught to drive a car. I hesitated, but the encouragement from him excited me. It was too late when I asked my mother, she allowed it. Even mama said "later make SIMnya let all of you, A equals C"

After we thought about it for a while, Siska and I agreed to join the fitness organization. It's like coming out of a mouth like that and into a tiger's mouth. Avoiding an organization with brother Jo, not knowing even met Dian in the same organization.

Wanted to resign but the rice had already become porridge. I know that Dian is in the same organization after several meetings.

Like we don't know each other or just know each other but the distance home. Many surprising coincidences. He himself never opened his voice about the campus. While I don't want to be told kepo.

A few months have passed since I finished my first semester. Today is the announcement of the results of the semester. A remarkable achievement that makes me want to always stare at the numbers.Her rendezvous with sister Maryam is not in vain. I learned a lot from him, even like a private teacher.

Sister Maryam has completed her script just waiting for the trial schedule. After a few weeks of trouble with coming every week, this time I plan to go with the food treat. Think of it as a form of gratitude from me.

Not to miss I took Melan with me. Because these few weeks we also did not have time to meet, busy me"completed each other's tasks. Melan originally invited me to go for a swim on Sunday, but unfortunately I have a study event on campus.

Me and Melan left after Magrib. Since I went to college, my mommy Papa has given me a little time. But for dating, I still remember the phrase mama "want to marry while in college" whether it's a warning or just a joke.

Several times someone approached me from new friends. But because of my residence and because Jo's sister is also Dian, it makes them retreat slowly.

"he was just a deputy secretary of BEM, we did not get a nomination"

that was the last time I heard their conversation accidentally.

I'm done getting ready apparently Melan hasn't shown up yet. As soon as I called he asked me to come to his house first.

He was still accompanying his sister while there was no one at home.

Not long after I was there, papa Melan's mama came. Accompanied by Zia's ustadzah and one more person, if not wrong first that I think Dian's lover. Which made me get discouraged to go back to trying to reprimand him. Because it turns out Dian waved to the girl and passed me by. Don't look at me, just smile back.

I asked Melan, not really a brother. But until now I've never asked Dian that.

After their arrival I followed Melan into the room.

It's been so long, who knows if he'll ever see that woman again. With ustadzah Zia again. Is it possible that Dian still has a relationship with that woman?

What is important to me too.

"this "hafis Qur'an. Her voice was melodious, once the champion of the tartil race, qira'at. He never took off his hijab. From the age of 6th already participated nyantri"

May Allah be the one who hears the joy, is that what you expect close to his son?

Turns out the sentence still continues

"not like the one in the front house. What woman likes to come closer looking for that attention! "

My ears that accidentally heard became pinched.

What does that mean to me? I don't want a suudzon, but who else is "in the front house" who's always been run over by an ustadzah?

Is that what I hate with me?

Melan went out of the room, was ready and invited me to leave immediately. Apparently from inside the room Melan also heard.

Whether intentional or I who have not talked to the ustadzah for a long time, the sound of the ustadzah becomes so stereo when speaking.

"ngapain is listening. Already ah leaving yok"

During the trip Melan invited me to talk, but I still did not focus until finally Melan repeated the conversation. My mind is still fixed on the ustadzah.

Somehow it hurts more than the spicy sentences Siska used to.

Actually Dian had always tried to erase bad words uminya against me. With great difficulty he tried to restore his umi good name.

I forgave you a long time ago, but why did it have to happen again tonight? and I heard it with my own ears.

Am I too bad?

Is every closeness someone always expects more relationship?

I never thought about it. Bewildered by the attitude of the ustadzah, if only Dian did not continue to beg and apologize.

My heart is indeed calmer, lighter, after making up with Dian. But does that mean I like him?

The journey takes a few minutes. We chose a place in the middle. Not far from Maryam's sister's house, nor far from my house.

Once me and Melan until apparently sister Maryam has arrived first.

"assalamu'alaikum sis" said I

"waalaikumsalam hall. Please Kay"

sister Maryam let us sit and say hello with a smile on Melan.

We shake hands with each other, but the man with sister Maryam only raises the hand "🙏"

"introduce this brother to my friend, Melan. But it's like a brother. Neighbors and since childhood have been together. Just split up college time"

the one who heard only nodded

"uh, too long yah knowinnya" said I back.

"no papa. This is also my sister, Fatih"

who introduced a smile. Sweet, pointed nose, sunken eyes, arabic.

"never seen it, brother"

I said a little surprised, because all this time I've been acquainted with the sisters sister Maryam, but with this one just look never.

"yes, because he lives in the boarding house. Again in 'godhok' to be a successor" sister Maryam told while teasing her sister.

"i mean, the sister's family has its own boarding school? "

I asked in wonder and also did not expect all this time close to the pious people.

"alhamdulillah from the family of great-grandfather. But currently held by the youngest brother abah" sister Maryam said

"but... "

I who wanted to ask clearly felt bad. As if understanding my question, Sister Maryam immediately replied.

"i was also in the pesantren. Just time to prepare the thesis decided to stay at home, so that more focus. But still often to the pesantren also really"

"sister.... pesantren family why college majored in public? "

I was still astonished and full of question marks

"it is precisely because learning religion has been from childhood, so feel the need to learn general science as well. Umi asks brother to be the successor of the family business"

"mashaAllah, but really, brother. I am still the one who is surprised so, brother, it feels unbelievable. Full of question marks"

our conversation stalled because waitress came with a tray of food. Because we immediately ordered also pay directly, before occupying the seat.

My sister and I were both late in the conversation. Melan fiddled with his cell phone while his brother Maryam, Fatih held a very small Quran even smaller than the palm of his hand.

The atmosphere became quiet as we ate. Even though I still have a lot of curiosity, but the time shows it's almost 9pm when we finish dinner.

"sorry Melan, I'm just like Kayra, it's like a radio broadcast. You are the listener" said sister Maryam.

Melan responded with a smile. I feel guilty for making him ignore. After that, we said goodbye to each other to go home. We split up because the car park is different from the motor park.

"Mel-mell"

while walking to the parking lot I toel-toel Melan's arm.

"hemp, what" he answered briefly

"don't get mad, plisssss. Sorry, get carried away"

"hemp"

who was invited to talk cuwek only.

"in exchange, we stopped by where we used to be"

"traktir I waffle Choco strawberry in cafe X" he said briefly. Nambek still remember the snack, even though just eating.

We're 11 12, sweet food is a moodbooster.
