LOVE OF ORDINARY MEN

Problems between them

In the evening before the Adhan, Leon arrives at Alzam's shop on a motorcycle, as requested by Olivia. Alzam tried to make Leon's presence at the briefing was not too flashy by coming using a luxury sports car owned by the young man.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” greet Leon when entering the store.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied everyone who heard.

“Please sit down, Brother. What message do you want?” ask one of the Alzam officers.

“Gue nyari owner here. Bang Alzam is?” ask Leon.

“Oh, Mr. boss again goes with his wife. Back again later too. Just wait, Brother,” replied the employee.

“OK. If so make coffee latte yes,” message Leon.

“Warm or cold, Brother?” ask the officer.

“Warm aja. Same croissant one deh,” sahut Leon.

“Good, Brother. Wait a minute,” exclaimed the officer.

About half an hour waiting while enjoying coffee and snacks, Leon finally saw Alzam who walked with a hijab woman and entered the store.

He almost choked when he realized that the woman wearing the robe was his best friend.

“Hahaha... Liv, is this really you? Oh gosh. I thought Bang Alzam was with Nurul. Haha... Justjust wonderful. Since when did you become a gini cake? Yesterday's feelings are still ajeg,” Leon quipped.

But his laughter stopped and became stiff, when he saw something strange about the friend.

“Eh, Leon. Haven't long? Sorry yes, I was the same Oliv spent looking for food first,” greet Alzam.

“Oh yes, no papa really, Bang. Sorry I was shocked to see Oliv,” said Leon.

“Other times don't be that cake anymore. Poor Oliv. Bentar yes. I want to pray first. Come on, Liv,” take Alzam.

Olivia simply walked after her husband without reprimanding her best friend. Leon immediately felt that something serious had happened earlier.

Alzam looks fine, but Olivia why so moody? inner Leon.

The young man again enjoyed his drink while waiting for Alzam and Olivia finished praying. After that, Alzam paid a farewell to his employees and handed the shop to them.

“Do not forget to clean up before closing, and make sure everything is dead before you go out. Close-up door lock,” exclaims Alzam.

He then walked towards the parking lot where his motorcycle was. It is obvious that the couple is keeping their distance from each other.

Olivia, who is usually so spoiled in front of her husband, is now silent. Even when Leon mocked the woman about her new appearance, Olivia did not react at all.

Fix, this must be something wrong with them, inner Leon.

Leon rode his bike right behind Alzam. If Olivia would usually wrap her arms around her husband's waist, but this time, she kept her distance from the young man. Olivia even just held the lower end of Alzam's jacket and did not dare to hug her husband as usual.

Upon arrival at the house of the in-laws, Olivia immediately went down and greeted Alzam. Without a word, he turned around and walked into the small white-painted house.

Leon continues to monitor the condition while following where Alzam will take him away.

After arriving at the study place of the Hijrah Youth Padepokan, then Leon knew what the reason the couple took him away on Sunday night.

“Come in,” invite Alzam.

“Lu seriously make me go to this place, Bang?” ask Leon.

“Everything needs a process, Yon. Sooner or later, you have to start. Didn't you tell Oliv yourself, if you haven't n*fsu go clubbing again? Mending gathers with me here,” replied Alzam.

It's getting stifled. Leon was not good if he suddenly left just like that after just getting to the place.

In his talk, the ustadz explained that trying is mandatory, but surrendering to the results achieved to God, is more important.

“No one wants a failure. Everyone is trying, they want to succeed. However, surrender to God's provision of the results achieved, it is more important. For He is All-Knowing, what is good for his people."

“Not necessarily what we expect, is the best for us. Not necessarily what we want to move, is the most important for us. Therefore, we must try, and always rely only on Allah,” said the ustadz.

Question and answer session was opened. In contrast to Olivia, Leon prefers to be quiet and appear indifferent to the explanation given, both in lectures and on the study tonight. He even looked indifferent and kept yawning from earlier.

After the study was completed, the young men did not then go and go home to each other. They continue to share experiences, while enjoying the wedang bajigur along with boiled beans and also mendoan.

This has become a habit at this briefing, every completed doing routine studies. Usually they will order the snack at the stalls at the end of the road using cash that is always collected every week.

Leon who was not used to such an atmosphere also chose to sit at the end, while occasionally greeting another young man who greeted him.

Alzam seemed to chat with them first, before he finally joined Leon, sitting apart from the others.

A glass of bajigur was in his drink, and immediately his body felt warm on this cold night.

“Where, Yon? First experience in the study, right?” ask Alzam.

“Lumayan. The way it works is pretty clear. Not to my shadow. The Ustadz is also gaul. Know the terms that are popular today. Hehehe...,” replied Leon.

“Hehe... Bener-beneficial. Emang actually said Oliv, if you do not seem to be careful, it turns out to understand the same thing that is explained,” said Alzam.

“Hahaha...Si*lan is a child. I really like to open my card with you, Bang,” kelakar Leon.

But hearing this, Alzam suddenly shut up and his laughter sounded so forced.

He's too open with me, inner Alzam.

Leon soon noticed a change in expression on Alzam's face. He saw the young man suddenly moody and gulped back down his drink.

“Lu no problem yes same Oliv?” ask Leon directly.

Alzam immediately turned his head and looked straight at the young man beside him.

“What's that clear? Though I have tried to be ordinary you know,” said Alzam.

He gulped his picture back down until he had a little bit left in his glass.

“Gue is new to you, Bang. But I've known Oliv since I was a kid. I know every time he has a problem how to go, I understand very much,” said Leon.

Alzam threw his gaze forward, with a sigh that sounded so heavy.

“If you know Oliv since childhood, then you know all about Oliv dong?” ask Alzam.

Leon did not answer. He chose to do the same with Alzam, throwing his gaze forward with his back leaning against the wall, while gulping down his figure.

Alzam again let out a long sigh before finally opening his voice about what was going on between him and his wife.
