Harum who was sitting pensively on a park bench near the store was surprised by the presence of a man in a denim jacket who was without excuse sitting next to him.
Once aware of the presence of the jacketed man who was none other than Arya, the woman wearing the sky blue hijab immediately got up from her seat.
"Where are you going, Rum?” lontar Arya when she saw Harum get up from sitting down. Arya knew Harum wanted to avoid her.
“I don't think there's any harm in me sitting here. It's a public place and there are a lot of people. After all we sit far away from the islands of Sumatra and Papua,” Arya said again.
Fragrant who was already standing, finally decided to sit back. For a moment, there was only silence between them.
Arya glanced at Harum who was sitting next to her. He knew the veiled woman who had been his dream makmum was in trouble. He got the information from Nina who said that it has been a few days Harum often daydream.
“To know me, getting married is to be happy,” Arya said as if knowing the burden of Fragrant thoughts. Or that squinty-eyed guy might just be pretentious.
Harum looked over and glanced at Arya. Feeling insinuated by the statement of the man who sat on the long bench with him.
“If you want to be happy then get married. If you get married then be happy,” Arya said with a serious expression.
“Tuh ‘kan me already as a wedding motivator,” always accompanied by a small laugh.
Harum also smiles to hear Arya's slorohan who today looks cool with casual outfit. Wearing a black shirt wrapped in a denim jacket. What is of interest Harum is the small writing on the shirt that is still read even though the jacket is closed.
“AS LAKU” so written on a shirt that is not too tight, but so fitting on Arya's body. However, the letter “D” in the sentence is crossed out and replaced by the letter “S” below.
Fragrant almost laughs when you realize the sentence “TILEN LAKU” if the letter “D” replaced “S” means to be “SUCCESSFUL LAKU”. Luckily, he could stop himself from laughing. He was not in the mood to laugh. His mood was covered in a gray cloud.
“Did Nina ever tell you anything about me?” Fragrant asked without looking at the man sitting next to her. Highlight his eyes pushy staring at the park visitors who come and go home alternately. Some come alone, some come with their partners, either halal or just a girlfriend. There are also those who come with small children who may be their children.
“Ndak. Nina never told me anything. That you are married is the only information I got from Nina,”.
"Oh, I see," said Harum forcing a smile.
“I guess you're still single. Honestly yes, my single status fii sabilililah ...”
Harum laughs stifled when Arya calls herself jomblo fii sabililah.
This time Harum actually laughed to hear Arya's slurs. And Arya was happy to be extraordinary because she managed to make the woman who was stricken with laughter.
“I was really happy when Nata said I wanted to nyomblangin I was with you, but ...."
“Kak Nata said so?” Harum's forehead frowned at Arya's confession.
“But it turns out just prank. Because then I found out from Nina that you were married" said Arya.
Arya was once reprimanded by Hangga when she tried to do pedekate. At that time, Hangga said that Harum already had a husband, but at that time he did not believe one hundred percent. He only believed when he asked Nina, and Nina explained that Harum was married.
Fragrant just flinching to hear Arya talk, without intending to comment. His heart was still confused knowing Nata had ever intended to match him with Arya.
“To be honest there is a little bit of disappointment when you know that you are married. Understandably, my heart was so confident stating that you are my soul mate," said Arya release.
Harum gasped at Arya's confession. He looked at Arya with a look of disbelief. Can't believe Arya can be that honest with him.
"Eh, sorry, Rum. Sorry I didn't mean ...." At once Arya felt that her mouth did not know. He could have said that to a married woman.
“Mas Arya is good, definitely can be a good soul mate too,” Harum said after his shock to hear Arya's confession.
“Amin," said Arya. His heart was a little relieved that Harum was not angry at his speech that did not know the ethics.
“You're good too, Rum. You should have a good match too. You should have a good husband.”
It's a sweet laugh. “Indeed according to Mas Arya, my husband is not good?”
“If your husband is nice, your face is not often so moody, Rum.”
“My husband ...”
Not yet Harum finished his sentence, he was surprised by the presence of Hangga who was already standing beside Arya.
“Ngapain you're here!” hardik Hangga while pulling the collar of Arya's jacket.
