Look At Me Once
Meet Anisa
3 Years Later
A girl crouched between two mounds of earth. He was busy cleaning up some of the dried leaves and letting some weeds grow on them.
KUSUMA HADI bin AHMAD, the name engraved on one of the tombstones. While next to it is engraved the name HAFIZ KUSUMA HADI bin KUSUMA HADI.
"Father, pray Lathif to win the game tonight, so that Lathif can quickly pay off our debt. Lathif's tired sir, I'm sorry you're always bullied by those jerk loan sharks."
"Oh yes, Lathif has started college ... Hafiz would be happy. Suppose you're still with us ...." Lathifa cried, her beautiful eyes alternately looking at the two tombstones in front of her.
After praying and pouring out his heart, Lathifa stood up and left the graves of her father and brother.
Dressed in all black, jeans, a large hoodie and a headscarf that both ends he wrapped around his neck, Lathifa drove his matic motorbike to divide the city streets.
Since the departure of the late Hadi, now Lathifa must feel the rigors of life with Hana. Hadi's heritage restaurant which is now their residence is threatened to be confiscated.
To pay the debts of his parents. With Zidan's borrowed motorcycle capital, Lathifa often races wildly without his mother's knowledge.
Brother Zidan
Cil, where's Lo? The children are gathering. Events start at 20:00

^^^Bentar Kak's. Otw, usually help mengyokap clean-up first 😸^^^
Brother Zidan
Yasudah. Be careful to bring the bike. Watch out don't speed! Entar jatoh Lo 😁

^^^Serah Lo dah Kak 😏^^^
"Oh, Lathif said yes."
"Where else are you going?" tanya walked over towards her daughter.
"There's Buk's work, promise before 12 o'clock has gone home" Lathifa said.
"His return is with Zidan?"
"Yes Buk. Lathif left first Buk, it's too late," said Lathifa kissed her mother's hand and hurried away.
"I'm sorry mom, baby, you shouldn't be carrying this heavy burden. You should just focus on learning" said Hana looking at the departure of Lathifa.
...*****...
Lathifa drove the bike at high speed, because in a hurry he did not notice the red light that was burning in front of him. It was inevitable that he hit a black Pajero car that stopped in front of him.
BRAAAK.
Lathifa fell down along with the bike. Several other riders helped and took him to the side of the road.
A woman clad in a light blue robe with a matching colored syar'i hijab came out of the car that Lathifa hit. He walked closer to Lathifa.
"Are you okay, Mommy?" anisa asked with a worried-looking face.
Lathifa raised her head, looking at the beautiful woman in front of her. How surprised he was, it turned out that the owner of the car was one of the lecturers on his campus.
"Hi Ma'am! Are You okay?" Seeing Lathifa silently looking at Anisa pat Lathifa on the shoulder.
"Eh i-iya, I'm fine. Forgive me Miss, I swear by accident earlier," said Lathifa while bowing her head.
Lathifa was afraid, had to find money from where to compensate for the damage to the car.
"It's okay. Don't repeat it again, lucky there were no fatalities in this accident."
Anisa thanked the people who had helped them, and apologized for this incident.
He will solve this problem in a family manner without involving the police. Because it will be complicated if you have to deal with the police.
After the residents disbanded, Anisa took Lathifa into her car and contacted someone to take care of the damaged Lathifa motorbike in some parts.
"We go to the hospital first yes," asked Anisa
"No need Mom, I'm fine." Lathifa rejected him for feeling bad, however here he was the guilty one.
"It's not good to refuse someone's good intentions" said Anisa staring at the elbow of the white hoodie arm that Lathifa wore there was a blood stain.
Lathifa was silent, she felt awkward sitting next to her lecturer.
Only silence accompanied their journey to the Hospital.
"How is he doing, Doctor?" anisa asked the Doctor who treated Lathifa.
"There's nothing to worry about, ma'am. There was a slight injury to his leg. You just calm down, there is no need for special care. Simply rest and take medication regularly his condition will recover as before," explained the Doctor.
"The clothes he was wearing were thick enough to protect his body, his right elbow was slightly scratched" the doctor continued.
"Thank God, thank God nothing happens. Thank you, Doctor," said Anisa.
"Do you really live here?" anisa asked a little doubtfully.
"Yes Ma'am, I'm sorry I've been troubling you. Sorry, for helping me out Mom's time was wasted."
"There is nothing to forgive, I sincerely help you. Shouldn't we as brothers help each other?"
"I-iya ma'am, thank you for Mother's kindness" Lathifa said with teary eyes.
"Let's stop by first Ma'am, I'll introduce my mother to Mom" Lathifa asked.
"Thank you Ma'am, it's late, it's been 9 o'clock more I have to go home scared sought by husband, hehe." Anisa refused politely. "Maybe next time I'll drop by with my husband."
"All right Mom, I'm waiting for Mom and Mom's husband to come."
"I go home first, Ma'am. Assalamu’alaikum," said Anisa.
"Wa’alaikummussalam ..." replied Lathifa.
After Anisa's car is not seen again, with a slightly limped step Lathifa entered the restaurant as well as home for her.
Only the headlights and some of the side lights are still on, maybe the mother and some of the women who live there are already asleep.
'O Allah, thank You for bringing me together with a person as good as Mother Princess. May the Lady and the husband always be in Your protection aamiin.'
...*****...
Elsewhere, a handsome young man with a plain white shirt press body with a Nike logo was combined with a black leather jacket with torn jeans on his left right.
"Where the hell is this one? It was hard to contact," Zidan grumbled, his eyes focused forward waiting for someone to arrive.
"Where's the leak, Dan? Hasn't she come yet?" said a no less handsome young man standing beside him.
"We've been waiting 20 minutes, bro. The match cannot be postponed again!" said the man who had just approached them.
"Wait a minute, bro. Bocil again on the road, soon to be nyampe really," persuaded Zidan
"Can't do it, Bro. The hunt's tonight."
"Come .. 5 minutes yes."
The man glanced at the clock in his hand. "alright. Only 5 minutes, if in 5 minutes he does not come forced he must we disqualify.”
However, until the match is over Zidan does not find the whereabouts of Lathifa. Lathifa did not answer his call nor open a message from him.
The next day Zidan came to Hafa Resto. It seems that some employees are busy serving visitors.
Zidan looked throughout the room but could not find the figure of the person he was looking for. Zidan approached the cashier's desk where he usually showed Lathifa, but this morning someone else was standing behind him.
"For Ma'am, which boss? Tumben doesn't look like a kid."
"Eh there's Mas Zidan, I don't know?" tanya Maya, longtime employee of the deceased Hadi's trust.
"Know what? Why is it leaky? Last night's suddenly telling rich ex can't be contacted."
"Said Ms. Hana, last night Lathif accident, Mas. Since morning has not been seen out of his room."
"WHAT! A CRASH! LUNATIC! NOW WHAT'S THE CONDITION?" Zidan reflexively shouted making the entire room stare at him.
"Astaghfirullah Mas! Don't scream napa! I see a lot of people." Maya pointed towards the visitor chair with her chin.
"Hehe sorry, my reflexes. Yasudah Ma'am, I want to see the bocil first yes, bye .. his work spirit." Zidan passes leaving Maya who just shakes her head.
Zidan stood in front of the door of Lathifa room, he looked at the room nuanced all blue.The room measuring 3x4 meters was filled with various forms of cartoon characters from the Sakura Country known as Doraemon.
"WOI WOKE UP IN THE AFTERNOON! THE VIRGIN CHILD OF JAM SEGINI IS STILL NGEBO. ASHAMED OF YOUR PET CAT!" zidan shouted out his hand intending to pull the blanket that wrapped Lathifa's body.
BUGS.
Not yet had his hand touched the blanket, a Japanese cat head floated right on Zidan's handsome face.
"Sister Zidan why enter the girls' room don't knock on the door, huh?"
"What about a girl?"
"Th ... Brother Zidan mah nyebelin, gini-gini I'm still a girl time." Lathifa sat on the bed.
"Oh .. So you're a real girl?" Zidan walked up to Lathifa and sat down beside her.
Lathifa shifted her seat. "What do you want?"
Zidan brought his face closer to Lathifa's face eroding the distance between them.
"Gue wants a mastiin whether you are a real girl or just a girl so-called events" said Zidan right near Lathifa's ear.
Deg.
