Not the Story of Siti Nurbaya

Mission of Love (Part 2)

The night was late but Syifa was still awake. Although it has repeatedly read the sleep prayer, it does not always lulled in the dream. I don't know why he suddenly couldn't sleep. His eyes stared at the ceiling. The big bear doll Zikra gave off felt warm in her arms. He grunted fretfully.

His right hand touched his own chest, feeling a slight awkward pounding. But he could not translate every pulse that spread in his veins. Syifa changed her sleeping position. Unknowingly his hand had moved. This time touching my lips. Instantly he remembered the moment Zikra kissed his lips. Suddenly his heartbeat was pumping faster. It caused the same murmur as back then. He smiled a little. Covering his blushing face in shame with a blanket.

OMG! How could that possibly happen? His mind. Then his mind wandered far into the world there.

After finishing kissing Syifa was still very shocked, touching her wet lips because of the young man's actions. Then turned his face to look at the scene outside the window of the reanglala. Zikra also looks very gerogi. His sense of shock that felt beyond reason required him to be speechless. He turned his eyes in the opposite direction.

Without command both compactly shift their respective bodies. Until one inch apart the distance that separates. They snorted very slowly, until none of them could hear the sound of each breath.

Zikra and Syifa tried to control the turmoil that was raging in his chest.

Like a pair of magnetic fields that have two different poles. When closer, the two poles will attract each other. Maybe that's the right parable for that young couple. Seats can be far apart, the view no longer looks at each other, but that does not mean their hearts follow turned away.

Quietly Zikra's fingertips met Syifa's fingers. He touched it and held it tight. The girl also seemed not to refuse her hand in touch or grasped. The subtle murmur of the two chest cavities violently disturbed their calmness.

Syifa bit her lower lip while tightly squeezing the teddy bear in her arms. Zikra squeezed the end of the place he was sitting.

"I'm sorry, I've been acting impolite" Zikra added in a soft and heavy voice.

Syifa gasped and turned her eyes to the young man sitting beside her. Suddenly a sense of disappointment disturbed his heart. Slowly he clasped his hand.

"Oh."

"I ..." Zikra looked at Syifa.

"Would you ask me to forget the incident just now?" syifa asked carefully, trying to guess for herself. His heart was very sad. "good. I ..."

"No. That's not what I mean," he's quick.

"Not papa. Between the two of us, there's no feeling, right?" rebuttal Syifa comforting. More precisely amusing myself. Because deep down he felt hurt. "so, you don't have to worry," a big smile fluttered at the corner of his lips. But it felt soft on his chest.

Zikra was visibly disappointed by the statement Syifa had just made. He never thought sweet-cheeked virgin would think that way. Though he really hopes that the girl can feel his feelings through a kiss from his lips.

At the same time. Zikra experienced something similar. Not being able to sleep just flips over the body on the mattress with fret. Expect to get a comfortable sleeping position. But still the result is nil.

Zikra reminisced about the sweet moment with Syifa at the amusement park this afternoon. Sometimes he smiled when he remembered the beautiful moment with Syifa. Suddenly his face seemed red in color considering that his lips had landed on the girl's lips for the first time. His chest was throbbing at that moment. And still feels it to this day. He sat up.

Maybe it's time .. yes, finally ...

Syifa moved from her room. Maybe drinking a glass of warm milk can help him settle down immediately. When he opened the door, he was shocked. Suddenly Zikra was already standing at the door of his room.

"You-you?" Syifa looked nervous. Suddenly flashed in his memory upon returning from the amusement park. Zikra kissed her forehead gently before entering into her room.

Zikra only smirked a little.

"Who-why here?" tanyanya.

Zikra casually invited Syifa to sit at the dining table near the kitchen. Two glasses of warm milk were on the table. The silence of the night nearly muted the two. Only the sound of the twang of a teaspoon made of stainless material, able to break the silence when hitting the glass wall when stirring warm milk.

Long enough they were caught in silence. Without a sound or a word slipping from his lips. Finally Zikra cleared his throat once to remove the shackling stiffness.

"I ..."

Syifa raised her face that had been subdued staring at the glass of milk that was left almost half of it. Silence awaits patiently every word that will slide from the lips of the interlocutor.

"I want us to have a relationship that is not just a friend." he added.

Huh uh?!

"I mean .. don't want our relationship to be this way."

"The meaning of 'our relationship is just like this' is what, huh? Sori, I don't understand" said Syifa frowning.

Zikra looked a bit clumsy.

"I mean, our relationship can be more than just a friendship, or a lover's partner we tried earlier this afternoon."

"Oh." Syifa grunted softly. Subdues head.

"I don't think we can be like this forever. Because every human heart will always change with time."

Syifa raised her face. Staring at the pair of beads the eyes were looking back at him.

"I-i ..."

"You don't have to answer now. I'll give you time to think" Zikra interrupted quickly.

"But I can't be with you forever" finally slid the line from her lips.

Zikra frowned while looking at Syifa in confusion.

"Sori, what did you say?"

"One more week, Dad's coming to pick me up. That means I'll come with Dad home" he replied. Her eyes were wet. "so, I might not be able to ..."

"I've said many times, I won't let you go" Zikra said.

"But ..."

"I'm not letting you get away from me. But I will still allow you to meet your father or your family. If necessary I will take you to meet them. As long as you don't leave me," said the young man very seriously as he tightly grasped Syifa's fingers.

Syifa was stunned with Zikra's earnestness. It was as if casting doubt that had been filling his heart all along. He smiles.

Zikra springah's.

Nadya and Syifa sat on the campus garden chair while waiting for the first class.

"What?" nadya shouted after hearing the story from Syifa.

"Sttt!" hiss Syifa while putting her index finger in front of her lips.

Kontan Nadya shut her mouth. Both of his eyes immediately glanced at his right and left.

"So, elo abis same way he did yesterday. Keep, use the status of lovers, wear a couple's shirt as well," he said half whispered. She grinned happily. "finally ..."

Syifa nodded slowly.

"Keep aside from that elo both why?" tanyanya enthusiastic.

"Good rides, eat, play games, yes .. that's it," Syifa said.

"Well, is that just so doang?" ask again sangsi. "yes .. as if there are other activities. Kayak ..." The girl deliberately hung up her words.

"What?" syifa asked quickly while glaring at her two round eyes.

Nadya smirked small.

"Lo's mind must be exhausted" Syifa said cynically.

"Not frenzied, Non. But I just think according to reality, the reality of dating people," Nadya said.

"Elo do not ngeremehin that dong," protested Nadya. "gue admitted that my status is still single. But as for insight, I'm a true lover."

Syifa chuckled amusedly.

"You sure you don't know anything about Bang Zikra?" nadya's search was curious while nudging Syifa's body with a blink of one eye teased the friend.

Syifa suddenly fell silent. Not opening the sound. His face was red. Smiling shy.

"Don't hide secrets are the same as me. I know about elo. Not just outside the doang, but up to the innards of elo I know."

"Lo's great style. Thought I was a cow time, got innards."

Nadya looked at Syifa without blinking. As if he was forcing her to tell him every detail of yesterday's date. Instead of wanting to avoid it, Syifa was hooked. Finally he revealed everything. Until the success made Nadya amazed.

"Ja-so ..."

"Sstt ..."

"First kiss elo .." whispered Nadya.

Syifa nodded quickly. Smiling shy.

"Finally ... you two can be ee ah."

"But I still have doubts, Nad. I can't fully believe her yet." Syifa's face suddenly turned moody.

"Lho, why? It's clear. Want anything?"

"There's still Ayu's mother who always makes me worry. And I'm afraid Zikra will change. As Angga did before," replied Syifa fretfully. "because every time Ma'am Ayu appears between me and Zikra. I'm back to that time."

Nadya took a long breath.

"Elo don't worry. There I will always be there to help you elo, to exterminate the rich actor Mbak Ayu the semeleketek," he said soothing.

Syifa smiled broadly.

"Thank you, Nad. Elo is my true friend." he hugged Nadya.

"Don't be that, don't be that."

"Super stupid! The important thing is that our friendship is not better." said cuek without taking off his embrace.

Nadya chuckled amusedly while gently stroking Syifa's arm.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to repay the kindness of elo" he said regretfully. "Last, I made you sad. So that our friendship relationship can stretch."

"Udah. The past let it pass," said Nadya while denying the embrace of Syifa. "Well, now we can be like we used to be, right?"

Syifa nodded quickly.

"I know who Panji really is. So, I feel lucky, not heartbroken like you have ever experienced" said Nadya lirih.

Syifa and Nadya hugged each other back while smiling happily.

Zikra's face looked very happy. A smile ceaselessly adorned her lips. All the stack of files on his workbench was done well. Maybe because the effect of yesterday's date got her so excited.

Bonang and Rifa'i were also happy. Their first stage love mission was finally a success. Then they advise Zikra to carry out the next mission of love, which is to declare love to Syifa. Although Zikra did it yesterday.

"Elo calm down. Regarding properties, concepts, places and****** it's a matter of Fa'i," Bonang said eagerly pointing to Rifa'i.

"Well, how is it me? Elo, by the way, Keribo." Rifa'i nongol from her office.

"That's because I know elo the type of person who is smart about soan," said Bonang lightly.

"Keep elo what?"

"Gue is quite a foreman. Ngawasin elo sitting sweet, isn't Zik?" Bonang asked Zikra for support.

Zikra who had just been a listener smiled as she shook her head.

"Lo's suicide!" the Hardik Rifa'i sewot.

Bonang just smiled not heeding Rifa'i's annoyance.

"Yes, the work!" zikra shouted diverting the conversation. He immediately went back to his desk.

Bonang and Rifa'i followed.

Ayuniatara silently listened to their conversation from the corner of the room. Unknowingly his hand squeezed the copy paper report from the copier. The girl was burning jealous. He still could not forget Zikra. Love has made him obsessed with taking Zikra's heart back. No matter what pain he will suffer later. Arjuna loved another girl.

Zikra, Bonang, and Rifa'i agree to discuss their next love mission after work. Then they went back to their respective work.

Syifa tidied up the snack rack. Check the expired date. Add similar foods to an empty shelf.

The banner took care of the soft drink rack not far from where Syifa was standing. Without wasting a chance, the young man immediately approached him.

"Bare elo where? I called elo not lifted, instead mocked." lamented disappointed.

Syifa remembers when Zikra snatched her phone. Then mocked him after seeing the name Panji appear on his phone screen. Either because of burning jealous flames, Zikra looked unhappy at that time.

"Lho, asked instead of answering, how come it's so dumb?" reprimand Panji made the girl aware of her daydream.

"Sori-sori, I was busy yesterday. So ... I'm dead. Because if I lift, elo must ngoceh only. So it will take a lot of my time," he explained forced to lie.

"Are you sure you're busy? Not another guy's way?" panji's tone seemed to be jealous. "when I had a ticket to watch for both of us."

"I also walk with a guy, no business with elo, right?" he said defend himself.

"Surely it is ..."

"Elo is not my bokap, so I ask elo not to be cocky-kepoin I'm not clear that," he said immediately moved to another rack.

"But I care the same elo, Syifa. because I ..."

Syifa let out a short breath. Turning his head while turning his body to face Panji. In his heart he could not stand the attitude of Panji who tried to approach him. He has often expressed love for her. But never disemboweled.

"No need. There are people who care about me. Even he wanted to sacrifice his soul and body for me" he said coldly.

"Shyephi ..."

"That's enough, Nji. Here I want to work. Not to feel the elo. And I will always hope we can be best friends, without any frills. I think you understand that," he concluded.

Panji was silent looking at the girl passed from before him. For the first time in his history his life was rejected by a simple girl like Syifa. Even the speech of his underclassman managed to make him die of lice. Usually every girl who has ever known him will be crazy. He was also able to sever their love as easily as turning the palm of the hand. After that he'll get another girl without taking long.

But after getting to know Syifa, Panji tends to be more calm. It was as if his gaze was only on the girl. Although at first it was just a fad approaching Syifa. She thought it would be easy to conquer Syifa's heart just like any other girls.

Sometimes reality does not match expectations. Now Panji can only bite his finger after realizing there is no gap for him to get into Syifa's heart. The girl who made him fall in love.
