Love Arrum

09. Small gift

"Hay bro... !!" Andi was surprised when suddenly his friend who sometimes felt annoying appeared in front of him. "So serious anyway.." Goda Rangga serambi sitting in front of the table owned by his best friend.

"Female Lo??" andi answered flatly and was still focused on her work.

"iihh.kok sewot anyway? You can't be sweet with this coolest friend of Lo's?" proud Rangga while raising both of his eyebrows repeatedly with a confident smile.

Andi only glanced for a moment and smiled cynically.

"Sore later meet me yes bro find a gift for Elisa. Tonight he wants a birthday in the cafe with his best friend and I want a surprise, I will propose him tonight" Rangga explained with a little serious.

Andi who from earlier was still focusing on her laptop immediately turned her gaze towards her best friend after hearing the word "apply" from Rangga's lips. Elisha and Rangga have been dating for almost 3 years, and actually Rangga is often talking about Elisha who always ask about the continuation of their relationship but previously Rangga was still hesitant and not ready. Whether there is a wind what is currently a handsome man of high stature and still often behave childish when he was 29 years old it could be serious like this.

"Seriously??" Andi looked at him sharply.

Rangga just nodded and smiled thinly.

"okay, wait for me in the lobby after work hours are over." stressed Andi though still not believing but he did not want to say or find out about the change of his closest friend,because he did not want if his questions later changed Rangga's mind.

"Okay, thanks bro..." Rangga left Andi's room.

Andi breathed out violently, dark shadows of the past flashed between his wishful thinking and daydreams. How happy he was when he prepared a surprise dinner for someone he loved so much in a cafe with romantic nuances. And followed by a feeling so devastated to hear the statement from his beloved woman that he was no longer able to continue their relationship because the girl prefers another man who is none other than his own friend.

Andi has since decided to close such a wounded heart to another woman. He was lazy and no longer wanted to think about love. But the cover now began to open with the presence of the woman,his new maid who incidentally only a simple village woman has even been married with all her closed attitude and firmness and firmness of faith in the face of trials, which attract the curiosity of Andi is so strong. Arrum had stolen his attention, grew a sense of compassion, and now the seeds of love were growing in his heart.

Now the two friends are already in a mall that is quite famous. They were looking for items that Rangga would give to Elisha as a birthday gift. The girl was very fond of dolls, so Rangga decided to buy two bear dolls that look a pair and are medium-sized. Then look for a ring to use to propose to Elisha. Andi only accompanied without buying a single item.

"All you got?" ask Andi.

"already, we're back. Uh but I went to the toilet right away"

"okay I'll wait here"

Andi sat in front of a boutique selling Muslim women's clothing. Seen there Khimar display is beautiful and graceful as well as gamis-gamis with various models. He remembered Arrum. Then immediately he bought a light green hijab with a slight floral accent on the end.

Intention he would give the hijab to Arrum, but his heart was suddenly confused by what reason he would use when giving the hijab so as not to arouse suspicion. And finally he bought another beautiful pink Khimar for Dian so that later no one suspected him. Moreover, his spoiled and super detective sister.

I heard the sound of Andi's motorbike coming, immediately I went out of the room and ran to open the door of the house. It's been so late in the afternoon why he's just coming home, it's not usually like this. I was a little worried a little bit. I don't know why I'm worried, I don't need to worry about it because it feels weird. Or maybe this is because Dian who was also angry because her brother has not come home. Unlike usual, Andi came home late without giving any news.

I saw him smile at me. With the same smile. A smile very similar to Yahya's.

"Assalamualaikum, Russia"

"Waalaikum salam mas.." I answered stammered.

I helped him with his briefcase because I saw he was also carrying another parcel, exactly two medium-sized paper bags.

"Where's Dian?"

"There was in his room mas, from earlier asked mas continue, why not go home and not give news. Ma'am Dian is a little worried mas" I was actually also worried, my mind.

"Cock just came home" suddenly Dian came and hugged her sister, I saw the warmth between the two sisters, they were so well-rounded. Andi loved Dian very much.

"Yes earlier mas temenin kak Rangga used to find gifts for Elisa, and this mas also buy you something" Mas Andi handed a paper bag to Dian.

Dian opened it and he looked happy with the gift. A pink hijab with a heart motif knitted on the front.

I went to put Andi's bag in her study. Then prepare dinner for them. When I finished I went back to my room for Maghrib prayers. I hadn't gotten into the room so suddenly I heard my name called by someone behind me.

My room is located in a corner of the room next to the kitchen. There's a small hallway to my room. I gasped when I turned my body. Andi was right in front of me. With that smile of hers she suddenly gave me something that looked the same as the one she had given Dian earlier.

"It's take, for you" I don't budge because I'm still nervous and confused.

"So you want to love that you went to the kitchen" he added.

"What is this mas? " question me stammer

"This is a small gift, the same one I gave Dian. At the mall I accidentally saw Khimar lined up in a boutique and then I remember you who always wore a hijab. So I decided to buy you one, and for Dian one so she wouldn't sulk. Do you like the color?"

"A I like all the colors of gold... Thank you" my nervousness must have read by her. Then I nod my head and excuse myself.
