After Akia finished reading one verse above, now Azriel began to step towards the podium reaching for the microphone placed on the podium. Instead of standing there, Azriel stepped closer to the worshippers and sat on a wooden chair there.
"Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh." His greeting was immediately reciprocated by the pilgrims.
"Waalaikumussalam wr. wb."
"Thank God finally gave me the opportunity to be in this place to meet all my brothers and sisters in good health. May the father and mother also always be given abundant health and sustenance yes ma'am, sir, Aamiin." His words opened his lecture.
"Subhanallah is like everyone here, honestly I also want to say if I also feel amazed by the recitation of the holy verse of the Qur'an brought by Ustazhah Kia. Just this time I heard the melodious voice of someone who was so sedentary that even those who heard it seemed to be lulled in the strains of the tone he was reciting. I'm sorry Ustazhah Kia, so I idolize you." He said as he glanced at Akia with a thin smile.
Akia who called his name only put on a face as indifferent and indifferent as usual. Trying hard to hide the nervousness and shame that hit the girl.
Pipit with his ignorant smile gently nudged Akiia's shoulder, making the girl turn to him. Snorting sharply as Pipit instead displayed his innocent face.
"Cie.who has a new fan, I think it fits you well, you're beautiful and he's handsome. What a matching couple." His god again instantly got a small pinch on his arm.
"Yes, you are cruel as well as your own friends." The one that Akiia doesn't care about.
The lecture has been almost an hour. Unlike those who have already this time tabliq akbar event runs successfully and solemnly. If usually the worshipers look bored and even until there are people who fall asleep.
This time it seems like for the first time the worshippers are so enthusiastically following the course of the lecture. Whether it was because Azriel was so relaxed or because they were too fascinated by the man's good looks.
What is clear is that at this time the sound of laughter is so clearly heard in the mosque. Azriel looked so shrewd and calm while carrying out her duties.
Until in time the session that is always awaited by the pilgrims, namely the question and answer session. And who would have thought if this time the question from one of the successful pilgrims made the hearts of the two people who had separated long ago again adrift.
"Well, anybody want to ask you again, ma'am ?" Azriel Demgan asked her polite tone.
One of the mothers in the corner of the room seemed to lift his index finger. Azriel immediately smiled as she told the mother to ask her a question.
"Please ma'am, want to ask what ?"
The mother looked mesam mesem shy. But because of the curiosity that was so high, made the mother finally dare to throw her question.
"Ustadz Azriel does she have a boyfriend ? If I don't have a daughter Sholehah, don't want to be my daughter-in-law." Asked the mother with a shy smile that was engraved on her lips. The laughter of the worshippers was heard again in the mosque, not least Kyai Lutfi who sat with other ustadz.
Akia glared perfectly, then looked intently at the middle-aged woman who was asking Azriel that silly question.
What the hell was the question, and again why was he just silent as if he agreed to the mother's request. It sucks.Akia murmured in her heart.
Meanwhile Azriel who heard the request of one of his pilgrims only reviewed a thin smile. He glimpsed a glimpse of Akiia's face, even if only briefly, but the man could see Akiia's face turning sour.
Suddenly the worshippers throw one another a glance, confused by the words of the ustadz in front of him. So did Akiia, hearing that the man in front of her was about to get married, somehow her heart felt tight and sick.
"At confusion yes.haha.begini father mother, at this time my ribs are wandering far and do not know the way home. That's because I haven't put glue on my ribs, so he's still free to wander around. Later if it's time I'll buy glue and stick it so he doesn't loose from my body again."Candanya while glancing towards Akia.
The pilgrims who heard the words of the ustadz suddenly laughed at the same time, did not expect that an ustadz like Azriel could make a joke that was so successful in entertaining the pilgrims. If they had known that what Azriel said was reality, ah if only.
Akia who got a glance was just downcast with a face that had met red. Azriel's words have always been successful in making him misguided. Lucky Pipit who was next to him did not see the change in his face, if not already ascertained if the girl will miteknya run out.

The day has changed in the afternoon and soon it will be evening. But the girl refused to leave the place. It was as if his feet were sticky and hard to move. The afternoon wind that felt cool and cold slowly blew making the end of the robe and long hijab waved waved in the wind.
Akia is still at home with his solitude staring at the vast expanse of rice fields that still look green, and some have turned yellow. I don't know what the girl was thinking, standing there and contemplating alone.
After the recitation was over, the girl quickly left the mosque. Without telling his departure to his two best friends, and also without the knowledge of the man of course.
Akiia actually wanted to quickly leave the event, but her heart was not good with Kyai Lutfi who was also there, feeling disrespectful if she left before the event was over.
As much as Akiia's energy held all the anxiety in her heart. And hurriedly slipped away before people realized his absence there.
I'm confused, really confused. Everything felt sudden and I wasn't ready to accept any of this. What should I do ? If I leave again I feel tired, the world is so narrow, he will definitely find me again.
On the one hand I'm happy because I finally found the person I've been looking for, but on the other hand why should he. The one who wants me to forget ?
How many more secrets have I not known about him ? He is so full of mystery. I know his past is so dark, I know who he really is. 3 Years is enough for me to know who he really is.
Akia exhaled a heavy breath, then rubbed his arm as the wind blew coldly on his skin.
And what did that mean. Ribs ? What does he mean it's me ? But why ? Didn't I tell her to forget me ? Ah yes what do you think, obviously he said if he was going to get married soon, that means he already has a prospective escort. Then what else do you expect ?
God I was confused, somehow I felt pain in my heart when he said if he wanted to get married. Did I regret my decision to reject her and tell her to find another woman.
Without her noticing her tears dripping down slowly on both of her white cheeks. In the silence of the afternoon the girl seemed to sob softly without a single person accompanying her solitude. The girl's heart is so fragile even from the outside it is not visible at all, because so clever Akiia covers the fragility of her heart.
"It seems like you're really happy to disappear and live alone. Every time I find you, you'll always be alone and just daydreaming like a man with no spirit."
