That afternoon was not quiet, only the tongue of the two middle man was confused to say something.
"i can obey whatever you think is good for us, but please don't leave me" Cintya asked to start the conversation.
The acrom who heard the plea just silently thought about what the possibilities and what could be the solution between the two of them.
"perhaps all we can do is keep our distance, keep our eyes on ourselves even though we stay together in our relationship" Akrom said cautiously.
Tears slowly flowed back down Cintya's cheeks, venting out the feelings that had arisen in her heart.
"i just don't want you to go, I've left my heart to you, I'm calm with the way you look after me" the hoarse voice of Cintya rattled Akrom's ears.
"i am here, taking care of myself, preparing myself, trying to take care of you with my very limited limitations" Akrom replied trying to calm Cintya down.
"promise don't stay with me?"
"i can't promise you that, but I can make sure I work on that" Akrom replied slowly but firmly.
Cintya smiled at Akrom's words, she was relieved at what the man she trusted to tether her hick.
"Udah do not cry, make it not stand it" ledek Akrom tried to melt the atmosphere.
"can't stand what?" ask Cintya wonder.
"can't stand to wipe your tears"
"just try if you dare, hayoo" challenge Cintya.
"hehe, pardon mbak. ibak" said Akrom resigned.now despite being teasing Cintya, Akrom no longer dare to look at his face.
"chrome, this is the exam.Where are you going?" ask Cintya.
"not know mbak, yesterday look at the technical campus in Surabaya anyway.just still worried" he replied slowly.
"worry about?" ask Cintya curious.
"from the pesantren I used to list scholarships to Al-Azhar, it seems I was accepted" he replied in a flat voice.
"where's al-azhar? qairo?" ask Cintya to make sure.
"yes" he answered briefly.
"seriously you chrome? how far?" it did not feel cloudy that had subsided back to remove the speck of tears from the eyes of Cintya.
"it's far about distance and the airport. can not be harmonized with the establishment of commitment" said Akrom smooth.
Cintya did not answer just covering her face with a palm hoping that what she was hearing was just a dream.
"can't we still send messages?" tanya Akrom tried to calm Cintya down.
"the few months that we went through without you reprimanding me despite meeting, it's been torturing me chrome. moreover it took years to have to be without meeting?" the hoarse voice of Cintya explained her turmoil should be away from the Acrom.
"are you wudhu mbak?" ask Akrom.
"yet.why?" Cintya asked back over Akrom's question.
"let me take you away" asked Akrom who had now risen from his seat.
Cintya who did not have time to protest could only obey Akrom's invitation. they walked to look for water faucets in the city park.
"you take off your shoes and socks, you wudhu" Pinta Akrom pointed at a water faucet, then turned her back to Cintya who was ablaze.
"it's chrome" said Cintya by fixing her hood and tidying up the teacher's uniform she was wearing.
They walked back to the chair where they were talking.
"this is for you, read if you miss.may ALLOH always take care of us" Akrom thrust a Qur'an of his who always faithfully brought him anywhere.
"this is all I can give you, and maybe this too" he continued as his hands removed the jacket he was wearing.
Cintya weeps again to receive a gift from Akrom, a gift that should make her happy, but she realizes that this gift is a sign that the body of Akrom will leave her in a distant place.
"do not cry mbak. leave your heart to God, be assured that love strengthens not weakens, and love is exhilarating not make you sad" Akrom gave his beloved jacket to Cintya.
"can I ask for help?" continue Acrom.
Cintya just turned her head towards Akrom hinting at a question about her continued request.
"i ask you to give me time to fulfill my goals. Please let me be calm I walk. it is also for the small family later" continued Akrom long-cherished about his future.
"please give me some time, will you? give me also the spirit to encourage you" Pintya pinta back with tears that have not yet subsided from the mouth.
"iya mbak, we go through together" Akrom replied.
"thank you, chrome?"
"for?"
"i'm not as good a person as you, as understanding a religion as you are, and whatever it is, but you're willing to take care of me in your own way and I'm more comfortable in your way. You take care of me and my honor." the explanation of Cintya is long.
"may Allah always take care of us" said Akrom while smiling mantab.
"Aaaaaamiin. So after graduation you leave immediately?"
"probably yes, because it immediately began to learn"
"how did you get in there? isn't it hard chrome?" ask Cintya curious.
"recommendations from pesantren mbak, yes grateful to be able to get a scholarship there" replied Akrom.
"how long do you want to be back?" ask Cintya.
"wish to pass stay there, but pity later there will be crying if I later do not return" replied Akrom slightly smiling knot.
"who? your mother?"
"no" The acrome the wider the smile.
"keep who? your ex?" ask Cintya judes.
"kok to the ex? never been a date where there was an ex?" ask back Akrom's upset.
"yes who knows if it's not your mother who else?"
"yes, the girl who has been crying since Mulu when I heard I wanted to go to college in qairo" Akrom teased with a small laugh.
"uh uh? meaning me?" point Cintya at herself.
Akrom only smiled mockingly at Cintya's question.
"right, caught later in the stay must be crying if long time no go home" Akrom tease.
"i'll follow you, will you bother?" reply Cintya defiantly.
"the brave?" taunting Acrom again.
"dare, be careful if later I do not go home after, I drag home" threatened Cintya with bulging eyes.
"anyways from now on I'm sorry just in case this guy is not coming home" continued Cintya.
"make it there?" ask Akrom.
"he is" replied Cintya mantab.
"yes can feel for the impression.trus make muters nyariin me, make a stay, make a meal?" tanya Akrom held back her laughter over Cintya's reckless plan.
"yes ngikut you are. Cook is already in samperin there do not want to take care? he said take care of me? hayo" ledek Cintya.
"yes deh yes.give up if already threatened so" resigned Akrom on the words of Cintya.
"that dong is the new child pinter" said Cintya triumphantly.
The day is getting to the afternoon. They chose to end the conversation that afternoon and immediately go home to each other.
With relief Akrom has revealed what is going on in his mind, despite leaving unrest among them over Akrom's plan to choose a lecture at al-azhar.
