LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Happy

Since that afternoon, after studying in Mario's contract, Anjani felt more comfortable. No more worries. No longer have to avoid or act clumsy in front of Mario. Everything has returned to normal. Greetings, chatter, and laughter returned to normal. No hesitation, but remain within reasonable limits. Mario-Anjani so more often met in the assembly of Limu, especially when learning to teach with Pak Nizar and ustaza Nuri.

Participants in the afternoon are growing. Ken joined on the third day. Juno was never absent, but had no plans to join. However, because there is Anjani there, Juno also joined, so he never missed a schedule of attendance though.

A week has passed since the first day of teaching. Happiness and comfort enveloped the days of Anjani. Through the guidance of the Nuri ustaza, the reading of the Anjani Quran is getting better, also getting smoother. During that one week Anjani also had finished studying Quran recitation juz 30. Anjani has not been able to memorize it, but he is trying to do it.

"thank you. I hope you like the bouquet" Anjani said kindly to a customer of a bouquet of flowers at Kak Lisa's shop.

"Together," replied the customer kindly.

Anjani has just finished her flower bouquet order. That morning there were five customers. Flower orders at Lisa's flower shop exploded that day. Anjani shared the task with Meli arranging all the reservations. That day also Diamond helped in her sister's shop because of the large number of flower orders.

"Anjani, who was on the display, just gave silver ribbon. Please, yeah. I was told by Lisa to count the white roses in front." Diamond explained with a cheerful smile.

"Gee, how cheerful you are today. Okay, ready to do it." Anjani.

"Hehe. Sip. I'm ahead first" said Diamond then stepped out.

In front of the store near the entrance was lined with flowers. Diamonds count the number of white roses as per her brother's request. As the cool diamond bowed while counting the roses, suddenly there was someone who lined it up.

"Sir Ken," said Diamond.

"Hey. Busy, huh?" ask Ken.

"Believe Lisa's sister, really. What's it gonna take for Ken here?" Diamonds asked back.

Ken fixed the position of his glasses with a smile, just answered Diamond's question. "Ehem, this is again Mario. Uhuh!" point Ken at Mario who just finished parking his bike.

"Ken, I'm going inside first. Want a bouquet message," explained Mario.

Ken just nodded, followed by a greeting from Diamond to Mario. While Mario walks into the store, Diamond and Ken are engrossed in chatting again.

In the shop.

Mario circulated the view as soon as he reached the flower shop, Lisa. It looks like Meli is helping Lisa finish the bouquet on the right side of the store. While Anjani stood near the storefront while putting a silver ribbon on the bouquet of flowers that had been made by Diamond.

No one noticed Mario's presence, so no one approached him. Salah Mario also did not say hello or call one of them.

Mario has no problem with that. Mario's steps then take him to where Anjani stands.

"Assalamu'alaikum," greet Mario to Anjani.

Anjani was a little shocked because the voice of the greeting was so close, and her voice was so well known to her. Anjani quickly turned around because he already knew whose voice it was.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Anjani replied in a cheerful tone. "Gee!" exclaim Anjani later.

Mario saw it too. Anjani's hijab is linked in a wire that becomes an imitation flower stem. Apparently there is one of the imitation flowers whose wire is less neat, so it is related in the hijab of Anjani.

"Astaghfirullah," said Anjani while trying to remove the wire.

A few seconds Anjani tried, finally released as well. A smile expands instantly, followed by a small ruckus.

"Hehehe. Little bolong," said Anjani.

Mario smiled not because of the hijab, but because he saw the joy of Anjani.

"Not seen, really. Still looks pretty," Mario said later.

Anjani was a little surprised to hear it, but she did not want to be prejudiced. Afterwards, Anjani also asked the intention of Mario's arrival to the flower shop Kak Lisa.

"Em, can anyone help? Want to order some flowers?" ask Anjani.

Mario nodded with a smile. "A bouquet of jumbo-sized combination roses, yes. I wait can I?" ask Mario.

"Of course you can, Mario. Please sit there for a moment, yeah. I made it first" said Anjani.

Mario stepped towards the seat Anjani was referring to. From his seat, Mario could see clearly Ken who was busy chatting with Diamond in front of the store.

"Ken, you like it, don't you?" mario muttered with a smile at Ken and Diamond chatting.

"Sister Mario. Who's the flower for, brother?" ask Meli who has finished helping Sister Lisa.

Mario first responds to the greeting smile of Lisa's sister passing in front of him before finally answering the question. Melies.

"Flower for Alenna. I want flowers, he said. It's his birthday" Mario explained.

"Oh. I didn't ask Juno, anyway. They are still in a relationship" Meli said.

"Sst. Mel, help me." Anjani quickly tells Meli to help him. The reason is also so that Meli does not discuss the strange.

Once the names Juno and Alenna were referred to as lovers, immediately made Mario think. Mario knows exactly how Juno's attitude has been lately towards Anjani. Mario can clearly guess that Juno's feelings for Anjani are back together. However, Mario is a little unacceptable because until now Juno is still in a relationship with his sister, Alenna. However, Mario does not want to interfere in his sister's love affairs.

"Hello, Mas Mario. It must remind me of Alenna's birthday, right? Calm. It's resolved. I've bought flowers, a box of chocolates, and gifts. Soon I will meet Alenna," Juno explained.

"Hm. Though I just want to ask the development of the preparation event for the welcoming of new students, Jun. Isn't it getting closer?" ask Mario.

Yes, Mario did call Juno to ask about the development of new student welcome preparation in the economics department. Not talking about Alenna, because Mario does not want to interfere in his sister's love affairs. However, Juno instead talked about the reward for Alenna.

"Hehe. Kirain wants to talk about Alenna, Mas. For the campus event is in order, Mas. I spend most of my days working Mas Ken in his room to help. If there's anything, I'll share it with Mas Mario like that." Juno explained at length in a carefree tone.

"Goodoo. See you later in the afternoon. Assalamu'alaikum, "greetings Mario.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh, mas-mas." Juno exclaimed, making Mario stop turning off his phone.

"Hm. What's?" ask Mario.

"There's a transfer student. Same with Mario. I'm on the show too, huh? Just a welcoming event, not the same OSEK." Juno asked for an opinion.

Must be what Vina meant, inner Mario.

"Hallo, Mommy. How's it?" ask Juno.

"No need, Juni. Even if you enter there will be a cancellation later. Just focus on the new students" Mario suggested.

"Siaaap," Juno replied excitedly.

As soon as the phone closed, Mario approached Anjani and Meli who were still busy working on her bouquet of flowers. Mario was out for a few minutes.

Mario left the flower shop Lisa. Mario accidentally did not invite Ken, because Ken was still cool chatting with Diamond. Afterwards Mario also walked to a shop not far from the flower shop Kak Lisa. Mario heads to a women's fashion store. Mario was not in the store for long. After getting what Mario wants, he goes back to the flower shop Lisa.

At the flower shop Kak Lisa, Anjani and Meli are almost done making a bouquet of flowers Mario order. Just give the pink ribbon a combination of gold in the jumbo-sized bouquet.

Anjani smiled at the bouquet.

"Cie, so happy, anyway. Seneng see the flowers what seneng see the flower message, nih?" geli Goda.

"Astaghfirullah's. Meli what's, anyway?" Anjani protested hearing Meli tease him like that.

Initially Anjani was indeed a protest seduced thus. However, a few seconds later Anjani even smiles as well. Of course it's a side effect of Meli's temptation.

"Hehehe, if you like. No more papa. The feeling of love in the human heart is a gift. Yes, although we should not overreact to it. Rightly so?" Meli said while winking.

Anjani only chuckled in response to Meli's words. Anjani did not agree nor did she deny it. One thing Anjani felt at that moment was a feeling of pleasure.

"It's over?" asked Mario who apparently was standing behind Anjani and Meli.

Anjani is surprised to see Mario who suddenly returns to the flower shop Kak Lisa.

Astarghfirullah's. Did Mario hear that chat just now? Anjani.

"Ehem, Mario's brother has turned back." Meli.

"This is the flower bouquet" said Anjani, handing over a bouquet of flowers ordered by Mario.

Mario smiles taking a bouquet of flowers from Anjani's hand. Afterwards, Mario went to the cashier table and paid for the bouquet. There's Lisa standing guard over there.

"Anjani, Melia. I'll see you in mushollah in the afternoon. I'll go home first" said Mario.

Anjani nodded, while Meli waved her hand. Both Anjani and Meli smiled at Mario.

Mario was still standing while returning that smile. Afterwards Mario stepped over to Anjani. Arriving in front of Anjani, Mario quickly gave a paper bag for Anjani.

"What's this?" anjani asked confusedly.

"Hijab for you. I hope you like it" said Mario, smiling.

Anjani receives the paper bag, then smiles at Mario.

There were two happy hearts at the time. Feeling an unusual feeling burning in the chest. Along the journey of hijrah that Mario-Anjani chose, with many things that have been limited. Including the seeds of love that re-emerged in the heart of Mario-Anjani. However, both of them still survive with the feelings that are still stored.

Anjani, I heard your conversation with Meli. I'm happy to know that you feel the same way. O God, keep his heart to me, inner Mario with a smile to decorate his face.
