My Heart to You, Brother (Love in Silence)

138. Disillusioned

"I'll take you to practice" Uwais suggested. That night, they were sitting in the corner of the restaurant enjoying a cup of warm chocolate.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, I'm serious, I want to pick you up, too,"

"Well, thank you, sister, I'm very fond of you" said Arrida, cupping her own cheeks like a child, looking cute.

"Are you sure you can ride a bike? Won't you go that way?" asked Arrida hesitantly.

"Tomorrow, you show me the way, I can come back, and I can pick you up,"

"Neck!" Arrida happy.

🌼

"Thank you, brother! Careful home!" said Arrida while handing the helmet to Uwais.

The man nodded as he received his helmet and kept it inside the seat.

"Aren't you really straying?"

"You don't believe it?"

"Fear, did you still memorize that road?"

"Hey, I'm just losing my memory, not stupid, the way I knew it,"

"Yes, yes, handsome brother, be careful!" the word Arrida then greeted Uwais and kissed the back of her hand.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" said it.

"Wa'alaikumsalam!" in reply he kissed Arrida on the forehead, making the veiled girl blush. Ah, it's nice to feel.

"I'm going, brother!" pamit Arrida and get a nod from Uwais. But after a few steps, he turned his body. Half-run he approached Uwais who was already on his bike. Then in a short peek Uwais cheek, and as soon as possible passed from the presence of Uwais without wanting to pay attention to how his reaction after being smitten cheek by him.

While Uwais just smiled while holding a kiss mark on his cheek. Blissfully.

Arrida's been waiting for almost an hour. But, until the Maghrib Uwais had not yet come to pick up, contacted no answer. Finally, he decided to go home in a taxi.

Arriving at the restaurant, he did not find Uwais, he immediately searched for Uwais at home. But just the same, the figure sought does not exist, even Uwais mobile phone left on the nightstand in the room.

"Where, Da?" arman asked as Arrida returned to the resto.

"Nothing, Bang!"

"Where does Uwais go? Try calling!" fika's orders.

"The wine is in the room!"

"Oh yeah, where's the kid?" mummified Fika.

"Let your brother come!" said Arman.

🌼

"Yes, brother!" yelled Arrida welcoming Uwais with two policemen to the restaurant at around eight p.m.

"Sorry, Dek, is this the mas?" ask the police first.

"Yes, sir, this is my husband!"

"She's in our office, ask to be shown the address of this restaurant! He's lost his way!" obviously the first cop.

"Yes, Brother!" said Arrida anxiously. He immediately grabbed Uwais' arm. Staring at him, made sure Uwais was fine.

"He explained that he had lost his memory, right?" ask the police this time.

"Yes, sir, because of the tsunami!" answer Arrida.

"Oh, tsunami victims?" the second policeman looked surprised.

"Yes, sir," replied Arrida briefly.

"Hopefully recover his memory!" the first police said.

"Yes, thank you gentlemen, please sit down, we have hot coffee!" fika said this time.

"No, thank you, we have to come back soon" the second policeman refused.

"I'm sorry to bother you!" said Fika again.

"Oh, no papa, this is part of our responsibility!" said the first police.

"Well, we'll excuse you, and here's the key!" the second police said while handing over the keys to the motorbike used by Uwais to Fika.

"Will you be papa?" ask Arrida worriedly. Now they are at home, having previously waited for Arman's arrival back to the restaurant.

"Here, drink this warm water!" arrida orders while handing over a glass of warm water.

"I'm not papa, sorry!"

"Udah, brother, I don't papa!"

"Are you waiting a long time?"

Arrida.

"Sir, Brother, I'm worried about you!"

"I'm not papa,"

"Ceritain what's going on?"

"The bike was leaking, I was looking for a tire patch, there was a long way to go, until there it was closed, I looked again, there was far more pointing, there was far more, it turned out that his father was sick again, then I looked again, finally dapet fortunately his father wanted, but already Maghrib, I forgot not to bring a hape, so can not contact you!" the story of Uwais who according to Arrida like a child who is complaining, and it makes Arrida feel sorry to want to spoil him.

"Yes, I'm sure you're tired, yes" he said. He stood up then approached the seat and stroked Uwais' hair backwards.

"Trus, why did you get to the same brother of the police sir?"

"After the tires were patched, I tried to get to the road that should be, but I forgot the route was stray! Then there's the police station, so I'm asking the police to help you!"

Arrida. His heart was tingled by itself remembering Uwais' words 'I just lost my memory not stupid, and the proof he could know if he didn't know the way home police report'. Arrida smiled and felt funny.

"Emh, pity brother, here, baby first!" Arrida held Uwais's head, until Uwais's head touched Arrida's stomach. Then he kissed the head of Uwais.

Uwais. He felt very comfortable being treated that way. He raised his hand and hugged Arrida.

"Tomorrow, yes" Arrida advised.

"No, I'll anther you! I forgot because Maghrib muter-muter started to fill the tire,"

Arrida smiles.

"Yes already, but brother don't forget to bring the hape,"

Uwais nodded happily, like a child allowed to play in the rain.

"Sister's feet tired huh, have led the motor muter-muter nyari spot patch tire?"

Uwais.

"Here, let me massage,"

Uwais shook his head again. He really felt amused if his legs had to be massaged. But Arrida didn't care, instead, she deliberately touched Uwais' calf, and it left Uwais shuffled. They finally laughed and laughed warmly.

🌼

Just like yesterday morning, after Arrida kissed the back of Uwais' hand, the man kissed Arrida on the forehead. But this time Arrida did not give a kiss on Uwais cheek. And it made Uwais feel disappointed.

In the afternoon, Arrida waited for Uwais to return, but his half-hour man had not yet arrived.

"Hello, brother, where?" asked Arrida full of anxiety. That was the twenty-fourth call and it was just connected.

"Eh, sorry, I fell asleep, my head hurt!" uwais said confused and nervous.

"You wait, I'll get ready!" continued.

"No need, brother! Just rest! I'll take a cab, I'll be home soon, yeah, wait for me!" said Arrida still with her anxiety.

"But, Ar, I want to pick you up!"

"Udah, sister, brother's head is sick again, just rest! don't go anywhere let alone ride a motorcycle!" the word Arrida rules. "Yes, I've come home, wait there, Assalamu'alaikum! " he said then ended the call.

Uwais. Again, he felt disappointed at the ban that Arrida gave. He also felt full of regret for disappointing Arrida for the second time.

🌼

"Sister, no papa, right? What does brother feel? What do you need?" ask Arrida. The woman was really worried about her husband's situation.

"I'm sorry, I can't pick you up!" Instead of answering Arrida's question, Uwais apologized.

"No papa brother, I'm even very worried about the situation of brother! Besides I've said, Brother don't have to pick me up, I don't papa, I can also ride my own motorbike" explained Arrida.

Hearing his wife's explanation, Uwais was disappointed, he felt useless, and not needed.

"But I want to banter you,"

"Yes already, tomorrow anter no papa! But if you're tired or sick, don't force it!"

Uwais.

🌼

The next day, Arrida was still being escorted to her field practice, but this time, unbeknownst to Arrida, Uwais decided not to return home, waiting faithfully for Arrida at the mosque near her practice.

"Son, don't pick me up, I've got something to take care of, I want to finish the pending report" Arrida sent a message to Uwais.
