Inauguration

Because today the inauguration of my first outlet I invited all my fellow teachers at TK MIS Junior High School and High School under the auspices of this school to feel my gratitude.

I'm sorry to go home right after Kindergarten's son comes home. After arriving at the place I immediately changed my uniform with a change of clothes that I brought.

My booth is located on the edge of the city with ample parking space, I also recruited five employees to work here. Yes here there is still one outlet that sells Frozen food that can be eaten on the spot or taken home, he said, in addition, there is also pentol and my favorite village food is a special rice made by my mother directly.

After all the invited guests were present I also cut the ribbon as a legitimate sign at this non-stall.

On the sidelines of my busy welcoming guests, it was seen by me Hendra who got off his rental car. Yes, in addition to bringing herself, she also brought a bouquet of my favorite white roses. This is where whispers begin to be heard. Understandably, no one has come close to me so blatantly. Even if there is only through social media and I rarely respond.

I left Hendra to greet the other guests.

Ahead of lunch Jihan who I asked to invite alumni friends was present along with others.

The excitement was even more pronounced when Malik and his mother were present in our midst.

Her mother, who was none other than my mother's friend, came up to me and gave me a small bag as congratulations.

Malik who wears casual clothes and shoes also look different as usual, yes he must adjust where he is.

what do I care about him.

In the middle of the crowd Hendra visitors approached me to leave because it was time for him to go to the airport. When he said goodbye to my parents I found Malik glancing at Hendra, I don't know what he thought.

I take Hendra to his car which is definitely a new material later.

Malik's gaze clearly looked at me coldly.

O heart strengthen your heart grow your patience expand your apologies forgive me robb for my actions that make everyone so gossip about me

By the afternoon one by one on the return home, as usual before my friends came home we took pictures for mementos in the alumni group.

When the event was over I looked around this place and Taraaaaa it turned out Malik had not come home yet.

He casually approached me and sat facing me.

"The man you brought was the man who came to your house yesterday, right ? who is he really ?" inquiringly

"anyone is none of your business, and whoever comes to my house is up to the host to let him in and it's definitely not your right either" he said

"what do you bother to find out ? why ?you're nobody in my life so please me just as you don't interfere in my business let alone my personal problems"

He kept looking at me flat

"i want to ask you, actually your purpose is always to disturb me ? even if I never offended you, right" as I looked at the passers-by on the street

"Shofie, so far I just need a sincere apology from you, the man's problem is yes I have no right but it really bothers me "his rebuttal

"i've been sorry for you for a long time but it's not like the situation anymore and you are disturbed where do you not know each other?" repay me

"i may not know him but I know he likes you and before him I still expect you from the past until now, I think you understand" he said

"hhh ehhh this is why I think again tense once, what's with you guys ?" ask my mom

"there's nothing to make it a habit old friends never meet" I said

"well, once we go home because the magrib is still there at home" my mother invited me

"you ride what dahlia ? motor ?" this time it was Malik's mother who spoke with her eyes looking for something in the parking lot.

"Yes, I was here just like his brother but because there was interest so he went home first and Shofie just took the bike because he was here directly from school" replied the mother

"how if you guys we just deliver, about the motor can be entrusted here" bargained mother malik

"do not bother us not papa ride the motor not far too" refused mother

"let's say Dahlia once did not papa dong, after all I have not visited your house for a long time, the last time there was when your daughter menqiqahkan son if not mistakenly remember me"

I feel bad, I feel like I have to see it again.

Arriving at home I immediately cleared the front room for this tasyakuran event, fortunately, Brother Zahra today nginap here so someone helped me to beberes.

Because it's not good to be delivered home I made Malik a cup of coffee and his mother still fight in the kitchen to accompany the mother cook.

I left him alone on the side porch until I saw that he was still there.

why does it have to be like this,

What are your plans, Robb

After the event, Malik's mother said goodbye to us all.

When I was about to experience it suddenly his mother said "forgive all the mistakes Malik yes son Shofie, he was all his strength to rise from guilt, guilt, I know you used to be friends who had the same feelings but circumstances that we can't assess made everything change, I hope after this you open your heart back to Malik"

Like something pierced into the heart of Malik's mother's words.

I just smiled unable to reply with words.

So it was true what Yunda said back then, he was punishing himself. O Allah, how much guilt he has felt for me up to this very moment, he has not been able to live quietly without my forgiveness.

O Lord, your servant is so evil, you are so forgiving that you accept all my faults why I, whose place is wrong, feel so holy that I cannot forgive him.

All night long I kept thinking about Malik's mother

Were our meetings unintentionally meant for me and Malik just to apologize to him.

I took the HP from the afternoon I cuekin

I read one by one the incoming messages.

Shofies

I have arrived in London and thank you for the gift.

See you at another time.

Yes that's the message I received from Hendra.

I scroll down the piled up messages looking for a malik number that I have not yet saved.

There is doubt but I cannot be selfish

Bismillah, I hope this is much better

Assalamualaikum
