Stop asking how we can find a good partner for me, I'll be a better person until I'm found by my partner.
Right now I am stepping alone, will I step with me until the end of my age?

"Hello ..."Answer Amara gently.
"Hey... Good night, Mother Amara... Am I interrupting?" Am I disturbing your sleep?"
"No Mr. Jajang... What's wrong sir?" Was there a problem in my class so you called me this late at night?'
"Sorry I'm not polite... Are you okay?"
"meaning?"
"I've heard stories about you. I'm sorry I was so presumptuous... but I really can't stand it... I don't like to see you grieve..... Can I help you ?"
"Huff.. gossip quickly spread.I am the unlucky one..let God sometimes give instructions that he is not my soul mate in a different way. Thank you Jajang for your attention. I'm not really tired because I have to find a substitute lecturer for Fahri who came out in the middle of college.
"Oh... has he got a replacement lecturer for Pak Fahri's class?"
"It is already .. today at eight o'clock last night new deal.so I was in a hurry to leave campus to meet a substitute lecturer, emh... her name is Ms. Nina from Esa Modern University who happened to have the right time with us.
"Oh ... Thank goodness... already there is a replacement for the substitute lecturer...emh can ask the others?"
"Ask what does Mr. Jajang mean?"
"So for a replacement for Pak Fahri in the heart of Amara .. does it already exist?" Jajang was determined to ask this because he was afraid that Amara would put his heart in another man first. He did not want to lose his chance to return.
"Well... What is Mr Jajang?"
"What if I proposed to be Fahri's successor in Amara's heart..emh ... is there still a chance to be your lover?"
Amara was shocked to hear Jajang's statement. How is this ? The man he had just met and met several times and declared that he wanted to be his girlfriend. Amara fell silent and was even more shocked when she heard Jajang's next statement.
"Mara ... What if I was your soul mate .. would you step with me to the end of my age?"
“don't joke PakJajang...
“I'm serious Amara.. I liked you since you first met.. When you came to see me in college, I was already convinced that you were my soul mate. Right now I am stepping alone, .. Will you step with me until the end of my age? Allow me to bandage your wounds. . I don't like to see your sadness.... I really like to see your smile.,,,,, I'm serious.. I'm not going to ask you to date but I'm asking you to get married.. Can you think of my offer ?
"I'm sorry I don't know how to answer. All this time I just thought you were a good working partner and I didn't want to make a relationship an escape, it didn't feel fair to you , if I'm still trying to heal my wounds, can you give me time?"
"I will accompany him through. Let us be close first while preparing for our marriage... I'll erase Fahri's name in your heart.
" Thank you.. can we be friends first so that if we end up not being lovers but the work relationship does not end?" Ask Amara doubtfully
"Listen to me. When I first got to know you and we met at your college and you introduced Fahri to me. Did I immediately terminate our employment contract? I admit I only want to work because I want to see you... So hold my word... I'm not going to quit this job even if you refuse me. Even though I really hope before my contract ends.
"Let's get to know Mr. Jajang more closely by making more intense communication.I'm sorry I just felt you were a pleasant friend.
"please your friend, ask not to call you again, for I am not "Your Father !" Jajang put a little emphasis on the word Father. "Could call me, another. Call a friend who is near!
"Emmm...I think you're a little older than me and you're a sundanese... Aa Jajang, how is it?"
"Good.I like that you call me Aa.. The Mara.... May I meet
your parents to introduce themselves that I am your close friend?
“I'll think about it…
“Amara... thank you.. let go of the man who betrayed you.. let's take a definite step with me. Believe me that when you met me that day, I felt you were my partner and I should have you... I'm absolutely sure... Maybe I'm not as rich as you, but I have a job and a comfortable place to live... So please consider me, Mara?"
“Give me time.I'll call you later.
" May Aa Jajang.thank you for the call tonight.thank you for being my friend.
“ I'm waiting for good news from you , Amara ....Good night Amara.
"Good night Aa Jajang.
The phone call was cut off by Amara, but there was a happy look on Jajang's face. His relationship with the woman who attracted his heart had already gone one step further. He will show his genk rumpies that he will have a beautiful lover. May it work, her prayer before she drops her body on her bed and sleeps in her dream with Amara.
*****
Amara is smart enough to give a message answer from Jajang who continues to say hello and send sweet messages for him. Start a lunch offer together, dinner and a time-consuming walk. Fortunately, the busy teaching and meetings on campus make the reason for rejection feel reasonable.
Amara was only confused whether it was appropriate to directly knit love with Jajang at a time when he was still not finished healing his heart wound. Was it true that the man was really willing to help her remove her wound
Amara was still sitting disturbed at her desk when the door of her study was knocked so that it blew her daydream
"Come in, "the answer was short so the door knocker opened it from the outside and was even more surprised to see the man he had been ignoring all day.
"Hi... is busy ?" Jajang asked confidently and sat down on the chair in front of Amara's desk.
"Tumben Aa came here.. It's not the first Tuesday of the week... isn't Aa's schedule full?"
"I want to see you... emh... Did you cry?" Tanya Jajang looked at Amara's slightly swollen eyes and saw that there were tears left.
"Is that so visible A?" and I'm trying to cover it with make up?" Amara answered immediately she took her make up bag without hesitation and looked into her eyes. Jajang smiled looking at Amara who was a little more open to her. "My mom was sick when she heard I broke up with Fahri. maybe she was worried about me. I was looking after her all night," Amara answered while still looking at the glass and swept the moisturizer around her eyes.
"Patience to Mara... How about we now see your mother?"
"Hah.janganlah.ntar my mother will ask all kinds...
"Quietly, I can definitely answer it. I think my test score during the Thesis yesterday is also not bad. so if you face the future mother-in-law.. just how permission from his son...
"Ish...Aa... Have you had dinner?"
"Not yet, I'd like to take you to dinner so I'm here from campus in Depok.
"You want dinner at my house, A ?" Really not afraid to meet my mom?"
"Yes.I want to have dinner at your house... Can I?"
Young Brown eyes belonging to Amara stared intently at the deep black eyes belonging to Jajang. If this is the story of how Amara can refuse the man who began to look at his heart. Is he really getting interested in this guy?.
