Three months after the wedding azizah my heart has grown accustomed to solitude.Now there is no text or phone reminder ringing. usually before ten o'clock there is a text message coming in and reminding me to go to bed quickly and wake up at night.
silent I think my heart, I see my phone screen silent and azizah wallpaper still adorn my gaze. I light mp3 and I listen to the song nike ardila while looking at a photo of azizah and myself a year ago when there was in one of the tourist attractions, precisely in the crater sangkuriang or mount tangkuban boat. it was exactly a family geathring event, and maybe that was the last photo of us both. because at that time our relationship was warm and planning to the guarantee was very mature.
The sound of Nike Ardilla with a heart song made me drift further in sadness and I dissolved in the shadows of the azizah that was getting closer. I washed my face and I began to rise from my bed. I wanted to take a broom and start cleaning my room, while I gathered some photos and all the memories of the azizah, my resolve had been unanimous I would throw away or keep away all the memories that reek of the azizah, he said, be it books, letters, photographs and our wedding plans and the last one is the ring and bracelet he made especially for me. I want to start organizing my life with a new life sheet and I want to immediately find a replacement for azizah even though there may be nothing as perfect as azizah.
"assalamualaikum brother"
"bang..bang!!!"
elis knocked on the door and kept calling me. I opened the door
"what is it?"
"the branch is looking for a brother in front" elis left me with his carefree laugh that mocked me, I was suspicious of Elish but I didn't care about euis and I went to the living room to meet the people who were looking for me.
I saw a woman in a blue hijab sitting and carrying a paper while reading it. I was very curious about the woman....
"this is devi"
"eh bang ayat" answered slowly while looking down
at first glance I saw his face was very sweet but I don't know if it's of any interest he came to see me.
"devi is the same who" I glanced out the window looking for people outside.I see only elish and mother who was busy weeding vegetables.
"devi himself aja ko bang, devi has not seen brother for a long time, finally brother now rarely participate in the study of teenagers anyway, continue devi want to give this letter to Abang!" his hand gave me some paper
"this is a letter of invitation?" ask me curious
"yes Brother, if the letter that was enveloped was a devi letter to brother!" his eyes dipped while grimacing.
I just fell silent and felt an oddity, I tried to smile at the devi and say thank you. before long the devi say goodbye, before saying goodbye she showed her veil, at the bottom of her hijab I saw some sentences "verse". my eyes were shocked to see him.
"it's a special devi bang" he blushed shyly as he said goodbye.I just fell silent in front of the door while watching him from a distance.
Hmmmm.
I kept the invitation letter and devi letter on my room table and I went back to cleaning my room.
I saw Elis coming up to me and sitting on the edge of my bed.
"branch know if you like your brother devi?"
I did not pay much heed to elish and returned to tidy up some of my favorite books.of course jalaludin rumi books and Sufi books my love.
"the elis branch said it's been usheped!" elis commented while pinching my waist
I laughed at him and tried to respond to him casually.
" you have to say wow, haha!"
"ikh brother nyebelin, brother tau not ka devi until the name nulis brother in his head tau, elis same mother laugh earlier ngeliatnya, ngeliatnya, keep brother did not see what t-shirt he behind his back there is a big brother name so " ahmad hidayat" .
"haha cie.cie brother, the future ghost of RT sir" elis mocked me as he passed and took the broom I brought.
"lis...elis..elis..ya Allah is a child yes" I was surprised by the story of elis, whether the child is right or lies to me. Yes time so obsession devi me. I'm not really interested in devi, to be honest I'm afraid of women who are too aggressive.
I sat down and tried the Devi mail envelope, so she wrote what it was for me.
"assalamualaikum bang verse"
Brother verse with the arrival of this letter to brother, devi wants to convey some things to brother.
1. Devi branch likes very much the same brother please brother devi feeling response yes
devi wait brother later tonight at the mpo anih stall
devi will be very angry if brother refuses and devi will aduin brother to father.
thank you dear brother devi for brother.
I close the letter immediately from devi, I pat my eel and I throw the devi letter.
"it's weird, he could text if he wanted to write like this"
"say.haduh..devi ..devi"
**********
At 15.00 wib, I immediately prepared for the ashar prayer and I want to pray ashar congregation in the mosque in front of my house. I have not adhan in the mosque, for a long time, usually, if I have a work holiday, I try to take the time to do adhan, sholawatan or have a light discussion with teenagers. but lately my work piled up and I was busy looking for additional income for additional education costs such as my sister.
"mas ayat...how are you?" I turned my head and kissed the hand of ustdz afif
"o Allah ustdz, Thank God I am good, how do you?"
"Alhamdulillah mas ayat, when playing at home has long ago you know we do not chat, there are new books at home"
"well ustdz insyaAllah today I am no longer busy, ba'da prayer insyaAllah stop by me" I replied
"okay, wait for ya!"
I smiled and immediately the ashar prayer because the time had entered the time of Ashar prayer, I saw that people were ready to perform the bersama'ah ashar prayer.
after lunch with the family, I say goodbye to my mother and baba to come to ustdz Afif house, I brought a little snack and went there. because the distance is not too far I walk to his house I think all of you work out.
long ago also I was not walking I felt the hot breeze blowing plus the smoke of passing vehicles made me more stuffy.
"bang ayat.bang ayat.."call meekly my front neighbor.
"yes ma'am what's wrong?"
"bang ayat ayat you soan ya nak devi, well when is the marriage nih bang?"
"what do you mean, ma'am?" I asked curiously
"oh bang ayat mah bashful aja dah, dong dong can be in-law RT"
"haaah" I scratched my forehead.
"sorry ma'am, I want to go to the house mas" I said no chiming
"eah bang nih verse pretend aja, people sekampung also already know bang, nak devi it everywhere wear clothes writing brother guedeee really ko,hihi"
"sorry mom, excuse me"
I just smiled wryly not chiming in.My eyes felt disappointed and a little irritated also with devi behavior that was too indulgent.
all the way I wanted to keep grumbling, but I kept on being a guest.
it seems like Devi's offer tonight I'll just cancel, I feel embarrassed, not yet I'm her lover she's already so what if me and her already have a bond.
