Love In Silence

Afifah Lives in the Kosan of Adzriel

After work, Afifah waited for Axel outside the office. Axel did have a little job until he came home a little late.

"Sorry, wait a long time" said Axel after he finished working on all the files, after which he immediately went to Afifah.

"It's not papa." replied Afifah. He was waiting for his boss, Afifah eating leftover rice this afternoon (half-hour 11). Now he's full so he won't feel hungry again until tomorrow.

"Come." take Axel.

They both walk towards the car parked in front of the office, well every Axel wants to get out. The car will always be ready in front of the office. And when the new Axel arrives, there will be someone who will put the car in the VVIP parking lot.

Along the way, they just kept quiet. Only Afifah occasionally gives a clue where the boarding is.

After arriving, Axel and Alexa immediately went down.

"Where are you kosan?" ask Axel.

"It's still about 300 meters. But can not be entered by car because it does not fit. If a motorcycle is enough but if a car, can not. So we have to walk." replied Afifah.

"Well! on foot? Seriously?" ask Axel.

"Yes." replied Afifah.

"Can I come?" ask Axel.

"Well?" ask balek Afifah.

"I want to know your boarding house." replied Axel.

"Oh so, yes let's go" said Afifah.

Axel nodded as well. Then they immediately went walking towards the kosan Afifah on foot. While the car is parked on the side of the road.

"Mas, aren't you afraid the car is gone?" ask Afifah.

"So, relax." replied Axel when in his heart pray that the car is in good condition and not lost. But in the car there is also a small Cctv so if anyone steals, Axel must know the person. Because everything can be monitored through HP.

"Aren't you tired every morning and afternoon walking like this?" ask Axel.

"Maybe because I'm used to it. Not far away, deket kog. And after that it will take an angkot." replied Afifah.

"Oh, that. You have a lot of neighbors?" ask Axel.

"Yes but not too familiar because I'm busy looking for money and school. But at the end of the day, I'm just focused on work. While my neighbors have many households, but they are also busy working but rarely get together. Well, although there are some housewives who do not work, but they prefer to spend their time at home. Most if you meet, say hello and smile." replied Alexa.

"You feel at home in that cosan?" ask Axel.

"At home should not be at home. I want to stay in a good place, there is no money. Boro boro ngekos in a good place, want to eat a day aja hard." replied Afifah honestly.

"If the rain does not leak?" ask Axel.

"Yes, leaked. But yes, no papa. The important thing is a place to rest after work." replied Afifah smiling.

After a long conversation, they also arrived at Kosan.

"This is my boarding house" said Afifah who made Axel smitten.

"O Allah, is this still worth living in?" axel asked himself.

"Wanna get in?" ask Afifah.

"Maybe?" ask balek Axel.

"Can. Come on." said Afifah.

Axel got into that mess.

"Kosan here is free. But sorry there are no chairs, only rugs that have been torn here and there hehe." said Afifah smiled.

"You slept on that floor mattress?" ask Axel. Well there is only a floor mattress that is not worth using. And next to him are two boxes that might be a place to put clothes on.

"Yes" replied Afifah who could still smile.

"How will you take a shower and cook?" ask Axel kepo.

"I never cook, always buy. When I take a shower, it's on the other end. Public bathroom." replied Afifah.

"Yes Allah. Yes, you are ready now." Axel said.

"Where are you ready to go?" ask Afifah.

"You have to move" Axel replied.

"But I don't have any gold, wait for payday" said Afifah.

"It's easy, you don't have to pay. Gratis. Aby has a boarding house and happens to still be empty. I had chat aby and said there was one room that is quite spacious, later you can occupy the boarding house." replied Axel.

"Free? But I don't want to trouble anyone or anyone." said Afifah.

"If you don't, tomorrow you can't work anymore. You, I fired it." Axel said in a cold voice.

"Kog is, yes. Notar yes I want to be ready first." said Afifah, he did not want to be fired by his boss.

Because Afifah doesn't have much. He just put his shirt in his bag.

"Yes." Axel replied.

After that Afifah came out to pay to the boarding house and also to his left right neighbor.

After finishing, Afifah went back to see Axel.

"Have you?" ask Axel.

"It's a problem." replied Afifah.

"Let's go." Axel said. Afifah just nodded.

And after that, the two of them immediately went from the narrow boarding house to Axel's car. There Axel could breathe a sigh of relief. Just a few minutes in the boarding house, Axel did not feel at home then how could Afifah can stay there for years.

Once in the car, Axel immediately went to kosan had his aby. There is a slightly luxurious cost, in the cost is already available bathroom inside, mattress, cabinets and also fans and tivi. Complete with pillows and bolsters too. Because the cost is for the upper middle class. Even at the boarding house there is a kitchen as well, so if only cooking can be in that room.

Indeed Adzriel build kosan for the lower middle and also the upper middle. Somehow Axel wants to protect the woman who is now beside him. It may be true that if love, it feels like it wants to always be around him and wants to make him happy. Axel also felt comfortable being near Afifah and it felt like there was a certain happiness that slipped into his heart.

After arriving in front of the boarding house, Axel and Afifah immediately went down.

"Mas, are you sure this is the cost?" ask Afifah. This cosy is very clean and ngecling once, muttered Afifah.

"Yes." Axel replied.

"This boredom is very broad and certainly expensive mas." said Afifah.

"Because this kosan is especially among the upper class." muttered Axel who could not speak honestly.

"That's it, no need to think about it. What matters now is that you will stay here and not be allowed to refuse. Remember I'm your boss, so you have to obey me." Axel said.

"But mas......" Unfinished Afifah said, Axel cut it off immediately.

"No word but tapian ... Come on." Take Axel.

They go to the most corners, the most extensive boarding house and no one has occupied it.

Axel opened the room and Afifah was immediately stunned.

"O Allah, the room is very spacious and luxurious" said Afifah who made Axel just shake his head.

"Let's go in." Axel said. Afifa came in and looked around.

Afifah try to sit on a soft mattress. It tastes so good..

"The bed was in the lemar and the pillow and the bolster. Deliberately placed in the closet so as not to get dirty. None of these rooms are located. And the fruit on the side of the mattress, not the real fruit but just the decoration as the flower on the left side of the mattress, it is also the same, just a decoration.

And later you can hang your clothes in this closet" said Axel.

"If you want to watch tivi, the remote is in this closet lacy. The fan you stay here. And if you cook, it can be in the next room. But the kitchen is small" Axel said as he showed the kitchen. Afifah just followed him from behind.

"In this kitchen the equipment is not too complete, so if there is less, you have to buy it yourself" said Axel explained.

"Ah, for me this is very complete mas." replied Afifah smiling.

"And this is the bathroom, so if you take a shower you don't have to go out of the room" Axel said as he showed the bathroom.

"Although the bathroom is small but complete there is a WC and also the bathtub. And there is cold water and also warm water, said Axel explained.

"How many months is this?" ask Afifah.

"You don't need to know, you'll be surprised. It's clear from now on you'll stay here." Axel replied.

"Thank you, my. It's been so good with me. I don't know how to repay all my kindness." said Afifah.

"No need to reply, I sincerely help you. This is money for you for a month. So from now on try to eat nutritious food and breakfast first before leaving for work. Starting tomorrow, there will be my driver who will take you to work." said Axel while giving money of 2 million to Afifah.

"But mas, I can ride the angkot" said Afifah.

"Can't argue. Yes I've come home first yes, you're good here. If there's anything you call me." Axel said.

"But I don't have a phone" said Afifah.

"Well! Seriously in modern times, you don't hold hp?" ask Axel.

"Yes mas." replied Afifah embarrassedly.

"Yes, I'll buy it for you tomorrow. I'll go home first. I'll see you tomorrow at the office. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Getishalight."

After Axel's departure, Afifah locked the door from the inside. Afifah was very happy, finally there were good people who wanted to help him and release himself from the poverty and hunger that always struck. Afifah hopes God always gives happiness to his boss.

While Axel is very happy because he can finally help Afifah, looking for kosan. Somehow Axel wanted to get to know Afifah more closely. The one who had been silent had already stolen his heart.
