My Halal Lover
chapter 25
Eight o'clock in the morning. I'm still rolling on my soft bed. After the dawn prayer, I decided to go back to sleep. Farhan has not returned from the mosque since dawn. He said he wanted to make the most of the time before he was busy going to college .
When I remember the lecture, my heart aches again. I didn't know that my stupidity and my jealousy just destroyed me. You idiot!
Footsteps approached, even sounding rushed like running. Farhan's in. I didn't hear him say hello, I'm still confused.
" Waalaikumsalam ya mas." I quipped
"Astagfirullah, sorry sorry. Assalamualaikum darling." Farha grinning the horse. I smiled seeing his behavior.
"I have good news, I. I.." His eyes are shining . He looks very happy.
I am still confused .
"I. i... what the hell is mas?"
"I'm accepted to the medical faculty."
Farhan hugged me tightly, even very tightly.
I don't know what to do now, happy or sad?
"Come, let's open your announcement. "
Deg!!
It's the thing I've been avoiding the most since yesterday afternoon. I've been very happy because since yesterday the server error' , but it turns out this morning it can be accessed .
Very lazily , I typed in the keyword, I wish it was red . Oh god, please don't separate us!
Loading feels so long. I closed my eyes, not daring to see the truth .
Stupid, stupid, stupid! Silent!
It's been five minutes and still quiet. Farhan hugged me.
" What is this, Zela ?"
Whahuh? What was? why is that the question? I still dare not open my eyes . I hugged Farhan very tightly.
" I'm sorry Zela ,mas..."
That's all I can say. I ventured to open my eyes, to escape Farhan's embrace. I grabbed the phone lying on the bed with the screen no longer on.
My tears trickled as I looked at the writing of the University on the green screen. Yeah, it's been my stupid choice.
"Why, Zela? Didn't you say 'you want to be in town ? Why is there still a village option?
His voice is weakening.
"I'm sorry for Zela's stupidity, mas. It's because of Zela's jealousy towards Nanda."
Farhan knitted his brows. Obviously he was confused.
"What does this have to do with Nanda?"
" I used to think you guys .. emm."
Farhan was seen holding his laughter. And I don't care anymore. I'm going to put all my frustration on him until I make this stupid decision.
"You guys are too friendly, or either because I've never seen you with a woman . My heart feels so broken. In addition to , you sent the wrong SMS inviting nanda to buy an engagement ring. I thought I wouldn't bother you anymore."
"I don't want to ruin the happiness of my cousin's sister who looks so happy with you. So I decided to go back to the village. Burying my dream. But, it turns out I was wrong . It was my decision that ruined the dream itself."
I came back crying. I don't know, it feels like the breakup is getting closer. Farhan rubbed my head gently.
"We're looking for the same way out.."
I nodded, everything has happened.
Farhan had just finished calling my parents who had returned to the village. He told me everything. My parents advised me to look for a private university only in the city. They didn't want Farhan to leave behind his fondness which he could already hold just because of my carelessness . Yes, my parents were right .
I heard the bell ringing. I'm sure it's my in-laws. Because Farhan called them first. I hurried to open the door. I hope my smile doesn't look fake because it covers up my sadness. Farhan and I greeted them and invited them in.
