Three days passed. Naila was not eating well, thinking of Salman. After their meeting that night, there was no word from Salman. One or two days without news, Naila still thinks Salman is busy. But on the third day, Naila became upset.
Naila's in the hostel room. College holidays are not spent sightseeing or hanging out with his friends. He chose to stay in the room and busied himself cleaning his room. Naila was mopping, and did not miss the earphones attached to her ears. He tuned sholawat music.
Geck...
Geck...
Geck...
There was a knock on the door, he hoped that knocking on the door would be a boarding guard who would tell him that there was a male guest (Salman) looking for him.
But when the door opened, the guest immediately entered.
"Flood.."
"Yes, me! Who do you think I am? An angel?"
"Ah, no.. watch out carefully! I'm done mopping.
Farah sat down cross-legged on Naila's bed.
"Have you had breakfast, Nai?"
"Not yet. lazy."
"Sok-sok-an said lazy, got stomach acid just know the taste!"
"Kok even dido'ain ugly anyway!"
"Eat him! I bought some rice, let's eat!"
Naila shook her head.
Farah did not lose her mind, she opened the rice pack and ate with lahao, hoping Naila would be tempted to see it. But Naila was not tempted at all.
"Nai, are you still thinking about Salman?"
Naila nodded.
"The man now is not too expected, Nai! You're just friends, you don't know? Maybe he already has a girlfriend. Keep her boyfriend forbidding her to meet you."
"It's true also Farah said. A guy as handsome and as smart as Salman, can't be single." Naila murmured in the heart.
"If you don't eat, lose yourself. Let's eat fast! If you're sick, pity your father."
Remembering the Father, Naila woke up.
"Ah yes! You're right! Here's the rice!"
Naila ate her rice, though not much.
"Eat, Nai! If it's love, by the way! Don't harbour!"
"Huft... I'm afraid to just clap one hand, Far! And anyway I can't date Dad."
"Yes-yes..believe it! Daddy's Son!"
They continued the conversation while watching a Korean movie. Naila was slightly amused, with Farah accompanying her today.
The next day, at the college.
While sitting in the campus gazebo with Farah and Dikta. Naila saw Caca walking towards the canteen. Naila is chasing Caca.
"Gaca..! Sorry you're Caca, right?"
Caca and his friend stopped their steps.
"Hem.iya I'm Caca, why?" Answer Caca, ketus.
"You're Salman's brother, right? Last time I saw you with him."
"Yes, my brother, Bang Salman, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry to know, where is Salman?"
"Bang Salman is home, he's getting engaged." Caca said, lying.
deg...
Naila's heart seemed to be dislodged hearing news from Caca. He wanted Salman's number, but he said.
"Oh. That's it, huh?"
"Yes, Bang Salma loved her future fiance very much. Don't expect you to get close to him. Enough of the question?"
"Yes, thank you."
Caca did not respond to Naila. He just left with his friend.
Naia walked with gontai. Right now his heart was broken into pieces. He has never been in love with anyone but Salman. In each of his prayers he slipped Salman's name. His eyes are already glazed.
"No, Nai! No crying! You must be strong! It's just a matter of time. Died by Mom for years you are strong, especially only about your love that she never knew. Is this the end of my love story to him?" Naila strengthened her own heart.
"Tell...!" Farah called.
"Why are you chasing our junior?"
"Ah nothing, just ask about the book." Naila replied, lying.
Two days ago Salman returned to his city. While waiting for Riky in the ICU room in a helpless state of weakness, she tried to comfort her Mother. Salman knows that his parents are now very afraid of loss. It's been two days Riky's been in a coma.
Salman came out of the ICU, replaced by his father. The mother is now sitting in a waiting chair near the ICU room.
"Mother hasn't eaten all day, eat yuk!"
"Where can Mommy eat well, if Riky is not aware as well?"
"If Mother is sick, then Riky if you wake up looking for Mother how?"
"You do'ain Mother is sick?"
"That's not what I mean, Bund! Mother had typhoid disease, if Mother does not eat it could be the type of relapse. Poor Ayuni as well, she still needs Mother's attention."
"Have you told your mom, Man?"
"I called Salwa last night. I said to her, just focus on her college. Especially if he just came in."
"Let's eat! What needs a bribe Salman."
"You are it, Man! No, Mother foam eat alone." Mother smiled for a moment.
Seeing her mother's smile, she remembered Naila.
"Oh my God, I forgot not to tell Nindi. Ah shit! I didn't ask for his number! Though I told you I was going to play at his hostel, he'd be waiting for me." Salman murmured in his heart.
"Salman, what's wrong with you? Eating out?"
"No pa-pa, Bund! I just remember someone."
"Who?"
"The person I always call in my prayers, Bund."
"You got a boyfriend?"
"No, Bund."
"Review yes, don't date! Don't ruin people's children! If you want, marry me! Do not add to the sins of the parents!"
"Yes my dear Mother! The Mother herself said, if you love someone, please her Lord. So I'm trying to ask the Creator."
"Thank God, Mommy hopes my children will get the best match. And no one has ever experienced a Bubda, married only once in a lifetime."
"Nothing has been able to talk about religion, not so a story!" Salman murmured in his heart.
Salman didn't lose his mind, he called Caca. Asking to deliver a message to Naila.
"Hallo, Brother!"
"Greet you first, Ca! You are a habit!"
"Yes, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikum salutations."
"Abang misses me?"
"Yes, kangen because you're chatty! You want to ask for help, can you?"
"Of course, what doesn't make you?"
"Please find a name Naila Anindita smester 4 majoring in Management. Please say sorry to me and ask for her phone number. Brother there is a need, important!"
"Who is he, Bang?" Ask Caca curiously.
"He's a friend of Brother's."
"What friend is a friend?"
"Not much to ask, Ca! Just do what you tell me, you'll give me a reward."
"Yes, yeah... "
"Yes, thank you! Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikum salutations."
The Flash Back Off
Along the way back to the boarding house Naila was not focused. He almost got hit by a motorcycle.
"Woi! Ma'am! The road is off dong! It's a highway, not the path of Grandmother Lho!"
Naila flinched, she did not respond to the biker. Because the motor is already speeding.
Seriate....
