Looking for my Ribs

once more

A woman wearing a knee-length, short-sleeved dress in light blue was sitting on one of the restaurant chairs, and she looked at the entrance as if she were waiting for someone

Aji who entered the restaurant wearing a gray shirt and black trousers slowly walked up to one of the tables

" assalamu'alaikum, are you Nindi "asked Aji after sitting in front of the woman although not welcome

" wa'alaikumussalam, yes it is true and you must be Aji's sister, I call the waiter " answered Nindi and called one of the waiters then he ordered food and drinks

The conversation took place with familiarity not to miss a little jokingly adorning their meeting

" so sister as I told you earlier, I hope that big brother doesn't hate me, I did this all so that big brother can accept me even as just a friend " nindi's explanation accompanied Aji's gaze

" it's okay that I can accept it, I also explained from the beginning that I don't want any coercion in our relationship, and maybe indeed the friendship bond is the best relationship for us now "Aji answers

The conversation becomes the end of the meeting, after they both separated in the parking lot Aji slowly driving his black car, on the way Aji slightly remembered what Nindi said earlier

" our parents hope that we can be a match but honestly, I have linked my heart to someone else I really care about, I hope you can help me explain to each of our parents that we can only be in a relationship with no more than a friend "

While stopping at the red light, Aji slowly rubbed her face

" it may be true, the soul mate is like 'Alif Lam Mim' the first verse of the letter Al-Baqarah, meaning that only Allah knows.” murmured Aji

After passing the long road, Aji also reached the yard of his house, his footsteps slowly entered the house but he had not had time to say a voice greeting there mother stopped her steps

" how, have you met, beautiful child, have you exchanged HP numbers or you have a schedule to meet again, "ask the mother who like forgetting the dot and coma

" i'm sorry Mom, Aji is tired of making it up, I'll take a shower and go to bed. "

Aji's short answer made the mother a little disappointed, not long after the father approached, the mother, he tried to give the best explanation in his view when he heard Aji's words when the father stood not far from the place where the mother and child were talking.

Mother can only resign, actually she does not want to torture her son by trying to force himself to get married, actually, but in the heart of Aji's mother she also feels worried if Aji can not escape the shackles of wounds in her past

The morning sun greeted, removing the remaining morning dew, Aji had neatly put on his suit not to forget the blue tie he was wearing adding to his good looks

Aji rushed out of the room to his parents who were sitting next to the dining table, just a good morning speech he said when he sat down, after enjoying a bowl of chicken porridge that became his breakfast menu that day, Aji was without lingering immediately standing up to leave his parents and only greeting he left

" why does Aji seem to ignore us " complained Aji's mother

" just the feelings of the mother, do not think too much, "Aji's father tried to calm the wife

" but well I did all this also for the future of our son, "aji's mother seems not to lose

" well, we will clarify the problem yesterday and I have to promise to be ready to accept whatever decision Aji takes later "the father was trying to be fair

Finally, the mother took the orders of her husband

" Abi later tonight don't forget us to Bashir's brother's house you know, "Bhinneka reminded Yusuf

" yeah umi, later abi will hand over some duties to Danang secretary so that he can go home early, "answered Yusuf

" thank God if abi remembers, yes there abi went to work stuck in the street " that sentence Bhinneka said while driving the husband out of the house did not forget the princess who also walked following the steps of her parents

After shaking hands Yusuf rushed into the car, Bhinneka who had seen the husband out of the house immediately invited the princess to enter the house, that's how the activities that Bhinneka does every day are not much different from other housewives,

After marriage Bhinneka still behaves modestly, although the wealth owned by the husband can buy a plane even though in his daily life he never brags about all that

Aji's Office

Aji is seriously reading some of the files of his company's monthly financial statements presented by the secretary, which are,

" well, everything I've researched and there are no mistakes, then what is my next schedule "speech addressed to the secretary

" two o'clock the father should attend a meeting on determining who is the latest model of our product" the secretary explained

" okay if so you can continue your work, "Aji's speech was immediately responded with a nod by the secretary

As soon as he was carried away in the daydream, Aji tried to remember how many times the woman had rejected him before he had time to express love, at the end of the shadow Aji said istighfar, saying Istighfar, Aji did not want to give the devil a loophole that could bring Aji in a feeling of disappointment in the destiny given by God to him

Dry tone of call helped him out of the daydream, after seeing the name that appeared he did not hesitate to answer

" assalamualaikum what's wrong Sam, " asked Aji

" Waalaikumsalam, I want to take a meal, can not, "ask Samuel with a casual tone

" not that you are shooting a movie, anyways my schedule is full, gini aja besuk if I am free I will tell you, " explained Aji who does not want to disappoint the friend

" well then I wait for news, because there are many surprises that I want to tell you, "Samuel responded

The conversation between the friends was ended with a relaxed, the sound of the adhan reverberating, Aji then rushed out of the office to walk towards the small mosque used by all Muslim worshipers

In his steps Aji met some employees who greeted and Aji without hesitation or awkward to answer the greetings

after performing the prayer Aji was back in his office, lunch that he ordered earlier was seen already neatly arranged on the table, after praying Aji also enjoyed every food and drink that passed his mouth

Not long after the hour showed that it was time for Aji to attend the meeting, followed by his secretary he entered the room and sat while watching his employees

" assalamu'alaikum, well then let our meeting begin, but before that let us pray according to our respective beliefs hoping that the Creator will facilitate our meeting today, " Aji also did not forget to invite all in the room so as not to forget the Creator
