Move over

Binar and Sonya had already finished their meal. And now it's time for them to go back to the boarding house.
Binar was shocked as he passed by a chair with a man sitting there. Her gaze met the man who had already given her slippers. The man smiled at Binar. While he just took his eyes off because he was embarrassed. Didn't expect to meet that guy here.
“Come, Bin.” Take Sonya who is standing next to him.
“Bentara, Nyak.” Binar approached the man she had just passed by. “Still Yes Mas. I want the sandal minjemin. Later you will return if we are given a chance to see you again.” He said to Pamungkas who is still sitting in his place again.
“Not to be thought of. Used aja.” Answer Pamungkas.
Ubay who noticed them just gaped at the clear face of Binar.
“Never seen, lecture here?” Ask Ubay directly.
“Iya, Mas.”
“What majors?”
“Treatment.”
“Semester?”
“Two.”
“Ooohhh..” Ubay nodded his head.
“We'll excuse you, Mas. Once again thanks.” Said Binar nodding to Pamungkas.
Then Binar and Sonya left the cafe.
The meeting was the beginning of their next meeting. Binar became close to Ubay and Pamungkas.
He greatly admired the figure of Binar. Not only beautiful in hijab, but she is also a good and smart girl.
Secretly put your heart to Binar. Ever since his first encounter, the round face, which shone inside a maroon-red hijab, had bewitched him. The face constantly appeared in his mind.
No different than the rest. Binar also put a bit of his feelings to Pamungkas. But he tried to hide his feelings. Because he is a Muslim who must maintain his dignity and self-esteem. So he just kept quiet.
But the two of them both understood with their respective feelings.
Even Pamungkas already have the intention to invite Binar at the right time. When the girl graduated. Clearly, he must immediately complete his Professional Education. A big plan for his future.
But the plan must be shattered when he accidentally gets involved with his ex-wife. Which makes him have to give up Binar to be his life companion.
How devastated was Binar when he heard the news of the ultimate marriage. There was a great disappointment in his heart. He thought, he had been mistaken about his ultimate feelings for her. So he tried to be sincere because it was possible that the man was not the soul mate that God had prepared for him.
Until their meeting after a few years later in the MMC hospital, which led to the destruction of the future of Binar's work because of the man.
The man had hurt her a second time.
And this time, fate brings them back to a much more complicated situation than before.
*****
He tried to close his eyes. Summoning his drowsiness to bring him to dreamland. At least there he can play at will without thinking about his complicated life problems.
But, again the sad face of Binar expels the drowsiness that has almost come.
Far, far away, deep in his heart, he still keeps his feelings for Binar very neatly. He could still feel the vibration for real.
Get up from the bed. He walked closer to the nightstand, then opened the drawer.
He took a book from it. Then open the page.
But he stopped on one of the sheets that contained a sketch of a woman's face wearing a maroon-red hijab. With a smile on his lips.
For a dozen years he kept the sketch very neatly. A face that always makes him feel shady.
Close the book and put it back in the drawer.
“Numbers, Ma.” The answer.
Haya opened the door slowly, then entered and approached her son. He sat on the edge of the bed next to Pamungkas.
“Mama to ask. Is Binar married?”
The sudden question made him aghast. “Numbers, Ma.”
“Pam, this time Mama will not interfere again about the life you want to live. But if Mama can give advice..” Say Haya carefully.
“What advice, Ma?”
“Maybe this could be the middle ground of this problem. If the girl is not married yet, would it not be better to make her your wife? So you can get your son back, get married and have another wife.”
“Ma.... Did Mama forget what our family did to her? It doesn't feel right that Mama is talking about it. My guilt hasn't gone away completely, Ma. In part, Binar will not want to agree with the idea of Mama.”
“You think you know him well?” Search Haya. He was sure that the guilt of the last incident was not entirely the reason his son felt this angry.
“Yes, I have known Binar for a long time. Since he was in college.”
Haya could read the beautiful memories of her son's face. His feelings will not be wrong.
“That's good dong, if you've known him for a long time. You can get her as wife.”
“That's exactly it, Ma. I have no confidence anymore. I know how hurt he is. I don't deserve her anymore.” It was clearly unconscious.
“Udah inappropriate, again?” Haya further cornered her son. He fished for his son to tell him. The story of what happened between them in the past.
I feel cornered. He really did not want to tell his mother that he had feelings for Binar. Even now there is still.
He looked at Haya desperately. Sighs deeply then throws it away violently.
While Haya is enthusiastically waiting for the story of his son's past.
“I used to love Binar.”
That answer made Haya smile very widely. Now everything became clear to him. The reason why his son was so upset over this matter.
Even if the one who found the child was someone other than Binar and his family, it would be an easy thing for them. Because he knows that his son is not the type of person who will think about the feelings of others if it is not related to him. Haya's guess is true. There was something between her son and the girl.
“Then now?” A question from Haya.
Fortunately, he was not inedible with the bait question. His mouth was open and he was about to answer.
“Ma........ We wait for the test results to come out. We wait for clarity. After that we just find a way out.” His word.
Haya just chuckled while getting up and then out of the room.
Back to lying down. He tried to relieve his hot face. Remembering Binar, making his chest back rustle.
But, his pride because he no longer had the courage and speed, making him want to hoard the name of Binar in his heart.
