CHAPTER 9

"good luck to Al..."Ridwan relentlessly gave me the passion for the U university entrance exam...

"ok.."my reply.

"later finish class I come straight here again.I live first yes..."

"sipp.." I gave my thumbs up as I stepped into the universes..

yes it is true that I was in U. S. university a week ago Ridwan told me that the application for a scholarship on this elite campus will be direct today...Ridwan also helped me get the registration form and helped me learn material that might come out during the exam..

I try to divide my time as best as possible in this week.day I use to study and the night I work.until the Dona I missed this week.

tanya is tired...?but I enjoy it. Cola is just the hard work I have now.can't count on anything other than myself.and that's nothing new to me...

because maybe since I was born in this world I have been very accustomed to be friends and friends with wounds.but I also do not have to continue to curse my fate right...

because I would never feel what sweetness is if I had not tasted bitter before.born from whom and by what circumstances we cannot choose and determine..but how we live that life is our absolute choice.what it will be and how it will depend on how much we try...until I could walk with him through my life until one day I could change that wound happily....

and it SHOULD...

and here I stand now...

I set my feet in search of an empty chair because it looks like the exam is about to begin...

quite a lot of also follow this path to be able to enter this university.ya because it is one of the many famous universities in its ranks...so I really have to work hard to be able to enter.."the spirit of Al..Mom there please help do'ain Al yes.."mummuram I inwardly....

****

finish exam....

"I...."

"eh Rid..has finished his class...?"

"was..how was the test??"

"Alhamdulillah finished all.but for the results just came out next Monday..."

"the spirit of Al. sure continue if your efforts are maximal results will also not disappoint..."

"Aamiin.and thank you very much Rid.this is all thanks to you.I am really lucky to meet and be friends with people as good as you..."

"ah already Al.don't be praised continue to be able to my helmet does not fit because my head becomes bigger because of your praise.lagain I only help as much as I can...the rest it was your own effort and hard work that determined Al.ayo to come home..."

"okay.." I answered while following Ridwan's steps to the parking lot...

Ridwan is probably one of the sweetness that God gave me in the bitterness of my life...

we continued to step towards the parking lot until my steps stopped when I saw the figure.he who became one of the reasons I chose this city as my overseas place...he tied the promise that we would meet again someday.but why is he so different.no more hijab that adorns his face...

I intend to approach him and greet him...

with a sense of uneasiness with around Leo clasped his waist and hugged him tightly...

I turned around and continued my steps to the parking lot without my presence being noticed by them.maybe I was wrong.it was not my Syifaku.ya maybe I was wrong...

"wooy Al.ys pardon me nyari in you from earlier know bengong here..."

"sorry yes Rid.So I had a chance to see people who seemed to know .."

"really?where??"

"ah but it seems I misidentified the man yes let's go..."

"youw that is.ya already come on.but we stop by the usual stall yes.worm worms in my stomach like already on the demo Al.." he said while chuckling...

"hahaaa okay.mayuk..."

all the way I still can't forget him.ah I seem to miss him too much...

***

this is my wife.the girl who from childhood always accompanied me lived my waking life in the orphanage.yes we are from the same place.maybe with a slightly similar destiny...I looked after him from childhood until that day.we still sit in the 1st grade of High School..when we got home from school, my mom said that there were people who wanted to make Syiffa their adopted son...

Syifa initially refused on the grounds that I.yes she did not want to be separated from me. Maybe because we from childhood get used to together.that makes it difficult to leave me...

I asked my mother for permission to talk to Syifa.and she allowed it. I took Syifa to the backyard of the home...

"do not cry.you should be happy because there are people who want to bring you to be happy.liat me.believe me I will be fine here.you must come with them...mom said they were very nice people..."

"but it's hard brother.I can't be far from you.how do I live my day if there's no brother beside me..."

"hey.you are this.do not rely too much on me.I believe if indeed we are still in the line of soul mate surely we will meet again later.I promise after graduation I will look for you...how's it?"

"really?you're not lying, are you?"

"have I ever lied to you?"I asked to look into his eyes that were already filled with tears...

"so why are you asking such a stupid thing...?will you come with them?"

"yes.I'll be waiting for you..really waiting for you..."

I smiled and hugged him...

and he finally left.actually the same thing.this is very difficult for me but I do not want to be selfish for his happiness.we do have the feeling of more just friends or relatives..because I loved him more than that and he did.After his departure I was really not eager to do anything until mom convinced me that I had to be strong to be able to fight again...

and I know that the akubharis rose up to keep my promise to him.wait for me. I will never give up on seeing you again....
