Love at Dusk

Chapter 37: Caught?

Aisyah shook her head slowly with a smile, then she opened the door even wider. “We wait in the room yes, what would you like to drink?” ask Aisyah. They sat on the living room couch.

“Do not bother Aisyah, Mas Bayu soon nyampe,” reject Zahra slowly. But Mbak Nur came with a glass of clear water.

“Excuse me, here's a drink.” Mbak Nur keeps the glass in front of Zahra.

“Aduh mom thanks, sorry ngerepotin.” Zahra accepted it so politely.

“Makasih ya mbak,” said Aisyah smiled at Mbak Nur, and with her cheer Mbak Nur gave a thumbs up to Aisyah while resigning. Aisyah laughed a little at that, Mbak Nur like a friend to Aisyah, not awkward and always make her laugh at this house.

As a courtesy, Zahra drank the water given, he told me a lot about the preparation that did not feel closer. Until a message came in to stop their conversation. “Mas Bayu already in front,” said Zahra made both of them look at the window, a black car was parked there.

The two rushed out of the house, over the fence and saw a tall man just getting out of the car. Bayu smiled and cupped his hands together on Aisyah and Zahra, a face that seemed sweet with clean skin tends to be yellow slender became the hallmark of Sundanese face, plus a style of speech that is so soft and polite. They finally get into the car, Aisyah and Zahra in the back seat while Bayu sits alone in the front seat.

During the course of their chat so warm, Bayu seems easy to melt the atmosphere, all involved in the chat. He also told a little of his life, grew up with both parents who have a career in law, while he took different choices, choosing a career in health. The trip looks so pleasant that it does not feel like it has reached the intended jewelry place. “This is very similar to Mas Reyhan's office,” said Aisyah when getting off the car.

“Yes we stopped by his office Aisyah,” suggested Zahra.

“No need, I'm afraid Mas Reyhan is busy again, especially this afternoon there is a meeting.” Hearing that Zahra just nodded in understanding, they entered the jewelry store that looked spacious and clean.

The waiter was so friendly and welcomed their arrival, giving several choices of couple rings. “You like which one is Zahra?” asked Bayu so gently, Zahra smiled slightly and pointed at his two choices.

“How to get to me? Try asking Mas Bayu,” kekeh Aisyah who realized Zahra was nervous and embarrassed.

“I as the last judge of your choice,” said Bayu while laughing. Aisyah also helps choose rings with a simple but elegant shape. Zahra looked at him for a while and found it suitable then gave it to Bayu. After all agreed with his choice, a jewelry letter was made and Bayu paid for it.

They came out of the store, walking towards Bayu's car, but suddenly Bayu stopped his steps making the two women next to him stare confused. “Why Mas?” ask Zahra.

“What if we eat first, you must have just had breakfast? While nugguin Dzuhur we pray.” The two looked at each other and agreed with Bayu, their choice was fixed on a famous cafe that was around there, a cafe that provides many menus from snacks to heavy meals. The cafe is also available for guests.

Arriving at the cafe, they were greeted by a waiter who brought a menu while offering some of the best places for three people. Their choice was on the second floor, not too crowded and quiet enough to see the view of the road that is always crowded passing by. After their order was recorded, the waiter left, the drink first came and was followed by the heavy food they ordered.

^^^-Mas, do not forget lunch.-^^^

The short message Aisha sent, and they prayed and ate their lunch quietly. Aisyah pulls a little bit on the middle side of the veil and inserts her meal. After finishing, they chatted for a while, until an adhan sounded from Bayu's phone. Some guests came to Mushola, prayed with them and decided to go home. “Total Rp. 217.000.-“ said cashier. Aisyah and Zahra prepared to take out her wallet when Bayu took the receipt and checked it at a glance and offered her a debit card.

“Udah do not need Zahra, Aisyah, all of them let me treat.” Bayu laughed crisply looking at the two who looked compact. After saying thanks, Aisyah frowned at a table where two people were ordering food. Reyhan, it's no mistake Reyhan.

“Zahra, wait a minute yes, I want to go there first.” Zahra looked at Aisyah confusedly, she left just like that. But when he saw the center where Aisyah went, Zahra quickly caught up with Aisyah, Reyhan with another woman.

As the waiter left, it seemed that Reyhan was aware of Aisyah's presence, her face beaming. “A-aisyah?”
