My Heart to You, Brother (Love in Silence)

60. Shoe philosophy

Arrida ran slowly towards the waiting room of the station. His legs still felt a bit sore when used for walking let alone running. He was looking for Uwais. Yesterday afternoon Uwais went to his house, saying goodbye, if today he will go to town X.

He glimpsed to his right and left, also behind. But he was stunned, when he saw the train was speeding.

"Oh that's the train to town X mba.." that's the answer he received from the railroad standby at the station.

The whole thing is squeezing. He took a deep breath. Be late. He wanted to do a farewell. Because yesterday afternoon, Uwais only visited about a quarter of an hour at his home. Just want to know the state of Arrida, especially the state of his sprained legs. Then when saying goodbye, Uwais said that he would go to city X.

It's sad to be unstoppable, Arrida can only endure it. Without saying anything. Even now when he quickly from home hoping to meet first with Uwais, everything feels futile

"fr"

That sound. That call. There's no way he's still here. Arrida turned around immediately. Staring at the person who greeted him while gently patting Arrida's shoulder.

"Sir Uwais....!" Arrida sumringah can't believe it. Eyes sparkling. "Sister hasn't left yet?"

"Not yet" Uwais smiled.

"But that was the train to town X has departed, brother is late or what?"

"Sit down first yuk there" Uwais asked as he pointed at the waiting chair not far from where they were standing

Arrida nodded then followed Uwais until they finally sat side by side.

"My train is still 1 hour away Ar, maybe you see another train schedule"

"Yes, huh???" Arrida seemed to remember. Actually, he himself did not know which train Uwais would ride. He only looked at the timetable of the trains that left for city X at the earliest.

"So I went to your house, said bang Adnan you to the station, and I came straight here, I want to give you something before I go"

Arrida smiles. He was happy that Uwais really cared about him. Although he had to separate he was sure the relationship would be fine, even though there was no clarity of their status

"I want to give you something too" brother"

"Is she?"

"Yes... What do you want to love?"

Uwais immediately took out a box from inside his bag. Then open.

"Hopefully fit the size yes" Uwais showed black sneakers with white and gray alloys on the bottom

"Try it first!" Uwais crouched down, grabbing Arrida's right leg. Remove the sandals he was wearing. Then he put the shoe he was holding onto Arrida's foot. Fit.

"Eh, how can it fit?" Arrida.

Uwais smiles. Not in vain, he watched Arrida's legs as she massaged the girl's legs while sprained.

Uwais smiled with relief.

Then he returned to his seat after taking off the shoes that Arrida had worn

"I hope it continues to be used"

"InshaaAllah"

"From now on, I am no longer in your nemenin school, you wear this instead, let you stay strong on your feet, walk even run without me, you wear this instead, I'm sorry I can't get you started right now"

"Ih kok so sad gini sis kak" Arrida eyes glazed.

"You're a tough girl, not a whiny girl"

"But ...kalo nangis now can right? because brother made me sad" His tears immediately flowed. Wet cheeks.

"Heiii, even cry..."Uwais looked at the girl's face carefully

"Sister makes me sad" Arrida slightly sobbed

"Crying is. Not all crying signifies cry really" Finally Uwais let Arrida cry. And it turns out that even Arrida wiped her tears.

"Aren't you crying?"

"There's still a brother. I can't cry for long"

Uwais smiles.

"You know the philosophy of Ar shoes?"

Arrida just frowned, telling her she didn't know about the shoe philosophy

"They are a pair though different, right and left.Where the right goes the left counterbalances and accompanies, and vice versa, but they are one goal and if they are alone, they are useless"

Arrida nodded, beginning to understand

"It's like a relationship, it's different, but it's one goal, it's mutual, it's understanding and it's worthless if one of them doesn't exist"

"Are we like shoes?" asked Arrida, looking questioningly at Uwais.

"Yes"

"Then how can we be valuable"

"Together"

"How to go while brother's gone"

"Faith"

"So your heart is Ar, don't give hope to other guys yes, Justin, Arfan, and others"

Arrida.

"So yeah" too"

This time it was Uwais who nodded.

"Well, what do you want to say?"

"This, but there's no philosophy" Arrida said grinningly as she pulled something out of her bag.

"Hhhh? keychain?" Uwais scrunched his forehead.

"Yes, there's no meaning, just a keychain"

"But you must have meant, why do you want to give this"

"Yes"

"What?"

"First one...Let brother get my ass"

Uwais.

"Continue?"

"The second one.let brother inget me"

"Other than that?" Uwais is still chuckling

"Third one, let brother always take me"

"Heheh" Uwais scrambled the gnarly head of his beloved girl

" Thank you very much, I hung for the bike keys, so if you want to go anywhere"

Arrida smiled sweetly. He's happy. That simple.

"Big brother going to college on a bike?"

"Yes, why?"

"Don't want to ride that bike?"

"When it is necessary"

"So right now my sister still loves cycling"

"More relaxed, healthier"

"But slower" Arrida said

"If that's the way to go, don't be late" said Uwais smiling.

"Who is" Arrida gave up and did not want to return any more arguments with Uwais.

"Oh, brother, if you're gone, can I chat with you?"

Uwais replied with a nod

"Mmmm" Arrida looked doubtful

"Moreover" asked Uwais

"Can I get a chat from my sister every day?" ask Arrida finally.

"I'll do it" Uwais made no promise. He would only work on it for his beloved girl.

"Oh yes...I haven't eaten Ar"

Arrida shook her head slowly.

" Eat first yuk" Take Uwais.

"Cloak" said Arrida briefly

"What do you want to eat?"

"Bakso pengen"

"Yes come" Uwais said as he stood, followed by Arrida.

They eat at the station canteen. Tell each other stories. Until it does not feel the train that will be boarded by Uwais has come. Uwais has been preparing on the platform. While Arrida saw it from the waiting area.

Soon enough, Uwais went up. But he chose to stay near the door of the train. He still wanted to take the time to see the girl before the train actually left the station.

Arrida waved her hand, her eyes twinkling. He tried to endure all his sadness. While Uwais raised his palm, not waving, but giving a smile and nod as a gesture all would be well. Vim.

A year during High School, passed by Arrida and Uwais with many stories, now there must be a separation between them. This was actually what Uwais did not want. I have to go again, unfortunately. But the story continues. Both are sure to be able to live it
