Just Ngefans, Kok! (AS IT RISES)

10. Quit

With the incident this morning, somehow Kiara was more convinced to stop harassing Bayu's life.

Actually for the word teasing, he himself felt not to bother him. Perhaps more precisely stop ngefans same him and live the days as during his Junior High. A time where the focus continues to learn and not too confusing the affairs of the Adam.

No wonder, if adults say that the High School period is a time of seeking identity, including looking for or even want to taste the taste of having a partner. But back again Kiara thought hard, for what? Have a partner at a young age? Just for fun? Oh, comeon. In the religion of Kiara –Islam, men and women who are not or even have not become mahramnya it is forbidden to connect with each other.

In Surah An-Nur verse 31 has been described; Say to a believing woman: "Must they withhold her views, and ***********, and let them not reveal her adornments, he said, except the (ordinary) one from him. And let them cover the veil before it, and show not its adornment except unto their husbands, or their fathers, or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands, or their brothers, or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or the Muslim women, or the slaves they had, or the slaves they had, or men who have no desire (against women) or children who do not yet understand women's awrah. And let them not smite their feet, that they may know the jewels which they conceal. And repent to Allah, O you who believe, so that you may be fortunate.

The warning is only for those who truly believe in Allah. Not the half-and-half. Sometimes Kiara actually wants to feel her name has a boyfriend. In his mind always terbesit question 'what's the thrill of your High School if you never feel the name dating?', but again Kiara tried to brush it off. It is clear that these are all the whispers of Satan that tempt people to do things that are forbidden by God.

Kiara sighed softly. Yeah, he should have kept his eyes on me. Just like men too. Necessary to keep his eyes.

"Woi! Ra! From earlier bengong aja. Think what the hell?" asked Luna while sipping her milkshake.

"Huh? It's okay, Lun."

Luna shook her head slowly. "Lo think I believe that?"

Risa scrunched her forehead. "So? Want to tell us the same story?"

Kiara stirred slowly her sweet iced tea hesitantly. "Yes... Gini loh, Ris, Lun. I feel that this is wrong."

"Wrongly what?"

"I tuh... I guess I feel that this is wrong. I can't believe it anymore."

Luna tapped slowly on her desk. "Don't, Ra. Lo if you say do not belibet gini deh. To the point." Risa nodded in agreement.

"Gue seems to have to stop ngefans with Kak Bayu."

"No, not that. So gini loh, I feel this is wrong. I shouldn't be as happy as Sis Bayu. Sampe glimpsed at her lyrics and even the persimmon" explained Kiara in a frustrated tone.

Risa's back her head confused. He then placed the back of his hand on Kiara's forehead. "Lo no longer has a fever or what, Ra?" Kiara shook her head slowly.

"Oh my goodness, Ra. That is the right of all human beings. Why did you become like this? There is no harm in knowing ngefans with Kak Bayu. Naturally, because he could be a good role model."

Kiara sipped her iced tea to wet her throat which suddenly felt dry. "No. Not that, Lun. So, I'm thinking. I should not be too excessive ngefans same Kak Bayu. The story of Zulaikha who continues to pursue Joseph's love? God keep Joseph for him–"

"And when Zulaikha pursued the love of God, God brought Joseph to him" said Risa. "But, this is an old story, Ra. It's past its time. Anyway you just ngefans, or.. you like Kak Bayu?"

"Ris, it should be a story of the past that we can make a lesson. Moreover, this is the story of one of our Prophets that we must believe. And about the likes of it. I'm also confused how to answer."

Risa and Luna fell silent. He confirmed Kiara's speech. "But, why suddenly you say if you're wrong ngefans with Kak Bayu?"

"That's it, Lun. I thought, I don't think I need to chase that. I'm too obsessed with it sounds. And. anyways Kak Bayu also once said, if I do not need to ngefans same him. On inget right?"

Risa and Luna nodded at the same time. "Hmm, if from me anyway, the decision is the same lo. It is also your right to ngefans the same Kak Bayu or not. We support your decision," said Risa while plucking a piece of bakwan.

Luna held her thumb. "Hm, I agree. Whether you want to ngefans or not that is your right. Anyway if I think yes, there is no influence also the life of Kak Bayu. Especially in your life. Do you see, how cute is Kak Bayu's duck? But, no cuek-cuek very, anyway he also helped you pass out with the ball." Kiara and Risa automatically laughed remembering it.

At least, just get here. The rest, Kiara leave it to Allah. It might sound exaggerated, but Kiara's own decision was already unanimous. Hopefully with this, he can become a better person. Doing things that are necessary and do not go with the flow that only pleases him temporarily.

Leaving something that you think could be bad for yourself is one step in becoming a much better person.
