My neighbor Duren (Cool Young)

10. Odds formula

Anisa chokes at Radit's words. He never expected the man before him to be able to say that. It felt like just yesterday the man said a rude word and today he asked her to get married .

Which foolish woman would easily accept a marriage invitation from a man like Radit. Anisa did not answer and thought it was a joke. Continuing on with her last interrupted dinner.

Radit also seems to be misbehaving. He looked at Anisa.

"You're angry Anisa? I'm sorry, sometimes I can't control my speech. It all just flows. I can't lie about the feelings"

Anisa smiled back at Radit's already outrageous guilt. But Radit's words just now also imply an actual statement.

"I assume Mr. Radit is joking" Anisa replied kalem. Anisa put her spoon on the plate. Then I looked at Radit. I don't know what was on that man's mind. Anisa just wanted to affirm something.

"Tonight's purpose is to get us close, right?" Anisa asked Radit.

"Yes, they set us up here"

"Actually I am disappointed, I fulfilled the invitation to this dinner because it was to please my mother and also respect Aunt Arini"

"I'm sorry for them, Nis"

"Of course, mom and Aunt work together. Doesn't matter. It's just, we better get away from each other, from now on. Let them understand too. Between us there is nothing. I have not thought about getting into a relationship again. That disappointment leaves fear"

This time Radit could only remain silent. Anisa is still very hurt. Seen from the way he spoke, look into his eyes. Radit. He really feels guilty. The man's betrayal really broke Anisa's heart.

"Miss... Sorry"

"I don't want any more, we have business. But don't forbid Ara to come to us. Let them be friends. So does Lea, maybe one day she wants to see Ara, please let them stay friendly"

Anisa's words this time make Radit's heart sliced. It feels like being rejected. Although Radit knows the reason why Anisa said all this. This is the definition of sick but not bleeding.

"Nisa, I promise they'll be in touch as usual. Nothing has changed except me. I'll try to stay away as you want"

"thank you. May Arini's mother and aunt understand us"

The dining table was quiet again, the waiter put the main menu to enjoy. Radit tried to swallow food down his throat. But suddenly his hunger was gone. He no longer even wanted to eat.

"You love him so much, Nis?" Radit then opened his voice again.

"Yes, first .... He's a very nice guy. I trust him so much. My world just revolves around him. I forgot about the others. We love each other . But even such a kind and loving person can betray"

Anisa took a deep breath. Let go of the heavy feeling each time he remembered his story.

"Right now, the feeling for Him is dead, with my heart" Anisa continued.

Suppose you can, Radit wants to give his shoulder to Anisa leaning on. Cuddling that tiny body in his chest. Giving peace is also an incredible love.

"Humans can change, Nis. Who knows? I also needed time to calm down at that moment. Bela left so suddenly, leaving a question that could never be answered. I just end up with the word Iklas, after struggling with the anxiety of heart for years. Learn to put the taste of iklas, Nis. Insha Allah your burden, your wound may be lifted"

Anisa looked at Radit grudgingly. The man in front of her had a wound. Even the departure of the wife leaves doubt. Radit mentions the word Iklas....

Anisa is new at the stage of being able to accept, but her heart is not yet fully iklas. It took a little more time for his heart to get used to it. Then it became iklash.

"Do you believe in a soul mate?" Radit asked as he looked back at the face of ayu in front of him.

"Of course, God governs all that walks on earth" said Anisa steady

"There are no coincidences on this earth, Nis. Yes, you said that there was God's intervention in it. Like our reunion. When we are no longer with the wrong people. You know what that means, right?

Anisa hears Radit's description while shaking her head, not knowing the answer. Radit smiled faintly, Anisa has yet to understand the subtle cue she uttered. Anisa is really insensitive.

The last waiter serves dessert for Radit and Anisa. The two return to enjoying the dessert with their own thoughts.

When they finished, the two walked to the car. After a long conversation during dinner, they get to know each other again. Radit is always more mature. Anisa is trained to be more mature.

"You want to go straight home? It feels sweet, Nis. Tonight was very bright" Radit said as he drove his car.

" We'd better get home.I have to get up early"

"I heard from mom, you don't want to take Gono gini's treasure. Is that true, why? Must not be for you but Alea needs it"

"Yes, I can definitely raise Alea myself"

"Your chrono, Nis"

"I want to get away from everything about Fatah, erase all traces of it in my life, except Alea. He's the most beautiful part of everything that's happened"

" Stupid, now that woman is enjoying it" Radit said straightforwardly

"Yes, if I were not stupid, I would not be deceived and marry Fatah ''

"Nis, it looks like I...." Radit did not continue his words. The man remembered, Anisa was still injured. He did not want to burden the woman with his feelings. Let Radit yield this time, refraining as far as he can.

Finally the car arrived in front of Anisa's house. Anisa comes down without waiting for Radit to open the door. Radit waits outside her car for a moment, making sure Anisa has entered the house.

Radit got back in the car and headed for his house which was only a few steps away. Arriving at his room, Radit undressed to change into sleeping pajamas and just cleaned himself.

Maybe the universe has not supported Radit to re-establish a new relationship in his life. He has received rejection. The woman gave him a barrier wall that should not be passed at this time.

The wound is too deep, maybe. Radit may be in love with Anisa. The spark didn't start to burn Radit. Radit relented, accepting Anisa's request to stay away from each other. Radit was only willing to strengthen himself. Like when we are going to make a jump, automatically step back in preparation to be able to leave as far as possible.

When it is time, Radit will fight for his feelings to become a winner. "Wait for the time, Anisa. If that had happened, you would never have been able to escape from me, Radit said in his heart.

Radit stood on the balcony. The house next door is still on. Radit noticed the shadow that was still going back and forth in the house. After a while the house became dark and quiet. The owner is ready to pick up the dream.

"Good night, Nis. What a beautiful dream"

***

Anisa opened the landing door, not wanting to cause a sound that would wake either mother or Alea up. Last night, I must have slept in a dream. Anisa put her bag on the hanger. Then clean yourself up. Anisa prepared Alea's needs for tomorrow morning after that, she put out the whole lamp. Prepare to pick up the dream.

Anisa threw herself on the bed. The conversation with Radit tonight was so intense. Radit's words, right. He was not yet fully ill, until he continued to feel pain. His heart was easy to be fragile, tired and sick. A thousand if it were useless. Because time cannot be turned back. He still has to face life alone and struggle.

When deciding to marry. Anisa should understand. Sooner or later there will be men who come to offer a different life.

Anisa wiped away her tears. Then his eyes closed. Dreams and asa pick him up. Wading Night to visit the morning.

The next day Anisa went to teach. While crossing Radit's house he saw Radit already in front of the gate. The man with his million charms was standing next to his luxury car. Radit briefly looked at him with a flat face. Then it just passed leaving Anisa.

Anisa smiled wryly. Isn't this what he wanted, Radit stayed away. No more interrupting the day. The man really kept his promise. Anisa also stepped on her car gas and then drove to Garuda High School where she taught.

Anisa already standing in the classroom, he began to explain the mathematical subject matter about the exponent or rank. One by one Anisa explained some of the properties of the exponent. From start A power n multiplied by A power m equals A power n plus m . Likewise, if a number with a rank of zero means one and there are still some more exponential properties.

The disciple was very clear with what Anisa explained. They learn in a relaxed and relaxed manner. For some people, math is the least favorite lesson. Though with us pay attention and often practice will make it easier to understand.

The bell also reads the lesson sign. Everyone rushed out for a break. Anisa headed for the teacher's room then placed her book on the table. Nania approached while thrusting some cake. Anisa smiled brightly got food intake supply by noon, enough to prop up the stomach temporarily to be more focused and happy.

"You're the best friend

Nania, thank you so much, yeah"

"Same Nis, how are you developing with the neighboring sir, there has been progress?" The two sat together and enjoyed the cake.

" Histh ..no. we are pure neighbors "

"Nis, are you too innocent ? You didn't notice the handsome Duren sir looking at you in admiration"

"Nania, I don't think I'm in a relationship anymore"

" If you want to heal from your wounds, try to be in a relationship again, Nisa. If you are still happy with your solitude. You're gonna get worse. Don't waste time. Lonely life is sad"

Puk puk. It's like calming a child. "Nania, I will do it, only I can't, wait a while longer" Anisa said

"Wait another year, maybe I'm ready" Anisa said that to Nania.

"God, falling in love is unplanned"

Nania heard her best friend say. Nania must be understood Anisa is a math teacher so everything must be certain and can be calculated, even for Anisa an opportunity there is a formula such as the formula of the odds of throwing dice in the MTK problem.

"It could have been Nania, everything planned would have been better"

"That's a theory, Nis. In reality, there is a fact called the X"

"You mean?" Anisa is confused.

"Factor X, it could be luck and misfortune. You know, what I mean?"

"Yes, but we can, right, plan?"

"As far as you are, Nis. Suddenly the neighbor sir proposed to you, only knew you" Nania resigned

Nania's words had actually happened, whether it was serious or joking. The neighbor asked her to be his wife. Anisa just shut up.

"
