Picking Back the Crashed Way

164 . Smile Brings Wounds (Uninvited Guest)

Zain and Barra immediately approached Aslan Abdurrahman Syatir who was focusing on improving his shop. Because, the day has shown at 17:10 Wib, before entering Maghrib time has become a habit of the grocery store owned by Aslan and his family closed temporarily and will reopen ba'da Isya.

"Assalamu'alaikum .. "greet Zain and Barra when entering the shop area where Aslan Abdurrahman Syatir is now. Both Sera and Raina had been home from about 10 minutes ago.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi .. "answer Aslan immediately stopped his work when he saw the arrival of Zainal and Barra Adi Sanjaya.

Aslan looked at the appearance of Zain and Barra from head to toe.

"Perfects!" bathin Aslan, when looking at the appearance of Zain and Barra like an official appearance like an office person.

"What did the young man bring?" bathin Aslan wondered when he saw Barra's figure that looked cool and perlente with a suit and shoes ala kantoran he was wearing, he said, it is certain that Barra looks perfect to be a personal assistant to Zainal Abidin.

"Sorry, can I help you?" asked Aslan, when he saw the figure of Zain and Barra who was still fluttering in his place.

Aslan thought who the uninvited guest was in front of him. "To shop for basic necessities is impossible, to buy gasoline for his personal vehicle is also impossible must be fuel oil for his car is fully filled," thought Aslan with a thousand questions playing around in his heart and mind.

"Sorry, Brother. Is Nandini Sukma Dewi home? I'm Zainal Abidin, a schoolmate of Nandini's in Junior High" Zainal Abidin said by sticking his hand at Aslan.

Aslan's imagination goes back 5 years.

"Maa is Allah .. Are you Zainal my sister's friend Nandini? yes I remember," said Aslan with a glance at the face of Zainal who was bruised and battered by his fist with Arjuna Restu Pamungkas his lover Nandini Sukma Dewi, who became his rival.

Realizing Aslan was staring at his bruised face, Zainal opened his voice.

"Sorry, Brother. It's a bit of an injury" Zainal said as he touched his bony-looking face. But he remains confident. For him to arrive at the residence of Nandini Sukma Dewi is a very valuable thing in his life, can not be engraved with a thousand words.

"Oh, yes Brother. This is my comrade-in-arms, Barra Adi Sanjaya!" zain said with humility.

Zainal doesn't explain to Aslan that Barra is his personal assistant. He does not want to have property, position, rank or the like in front of others. It is enough with its simplicity, without having to show everything he has, in the middle of his youth Zainal has become a reliable business figure thanks to the guidance of his father Fathir Muchtar Lubis.

Can be sure the business of Za Lamongan Groups and Cafe new in Zainal startup is now growing rapidly. However, it did not make him arrogant and proud of himself.

Barra, who understood the humility of his young master, extended his hand to Aslan. Aslan welcomed Barra's hand.

"All right, let's go in! Nandini was inside, just now she and her future husband came home from her trip!" aslan said, he did not realize there was a heart hurt when he heard Aslan's remark about mentioning the word prospective husband for Nandini.

The smile on Zainal's face dimmed from his face which was still bonyok and irregular. The smile was now carrying a wound for him, he realized it was now difficult for him to have the Nandini Sukma Goddess.

***

In the living room of the family Aslan Abdurrahman Syatir.

Arjuna looked angry when he saw Zainal and Barra entered the house accompanied by Aslan Abdurrahman Syatir, his future brother-in-law.

"Why, too, did the Bookworm and his assistant come here? do not let him complain of his face that is bonyok because of a fistfight with me earlier on Brother Aslan!" bathin Arjuna with a hostile look at Zainal Abidin.

"The guests are not invited! how dare he come here?" sumpul Arjuna looked up at Arjuna.

Virgantara and Rangga Sahadewa who are still loyal to accompany Arjuna Restu Pamungkas also feel the heat on the look of Arjuna's eyes that are clearly not fond of the presence of Zainal and Barra.

Rangga nudged Virgantara's elbow, hinting that the atmosphere in the living room belonging to the Nandini family was showing at a high temperature level. Arjuna really looks like he wants to attack his prey all out.

Realizing that, Virgantara also stepped on the foot of his cousin Arjuna in order to hold back and maintain his attitude.

"www!" arjuna's cry suddenly, making Aslan who had just come with Zainal and Barra was shocked to hear Arjuna's screech.

"You why? is anyone sick?" aslan asked, making Arjuna shut up for a moment.

Arjuna glanced at Virgantara. "Based on Virgan, make a heart spot! what should I explain to Brother Aslan?" bathin Arjuna with a red face.

"Hemmm .. It's okay, brother, my leg suddenly tripped the leg of the table!" arjuna said by touching his big toe.

"Other times be careful, this big room can stumble. Oh .. yes, introduce this Zainal and his friend Barra, they're here to meet Nandini. There may be a need" Aslan said casually.

Although it has been hijab, but Nandini still shows the metal side. It remains Nandini who is full of courage and toughness. Only one made him weak, the innocent seed that is now growing in her womb makes her have to press her ego to stay with Arjuna even though her heart has turned to the figure of Zainal Abidin.

The love for Arjuna was completely eroded from his heart. It used to be true that Arjuna was everything to him. However, he now felt a void in his heart when he knew that the arrogant attitude in Arjuna was becoming more and more.

Nandini was disappointed with Arjuna, Nandini also felt disgusted at himself why he had fallen in love with Arjuna, until finally his purity was taken by the young man who claimed to be his lover, love him sincerely. However, now all that changed as if drowning and dying with the disappointment of Nandini towards Arjuna Restu Pamungkas who often do as he likes without thinking about others.

Nandini was disappointed when watching Arjuna hit all out Zainal in front of his eyes which at the time of the fist Zainal was caught off guard and his focus was only on him.

Nandini came out of her room, she had just finished cleaning her body after a full day spent free time today.

Nandini was stunned when she saw the arrival of Zainal and Barra.

"Outra!" said Nandini, immediately there was happiness that burst into the heart of Nandini Sukma Dewi when she saw the presence of Zainal in her home.

Netra Nandini was fixed on the bag of crackles brought by Barra.

"Maa is Allah .. Is this not my bag of crackles!"

With sparkling eyes Nandini approached Barra and Zain.

"Yes, it's yours! just missed in my car, we deliberately delivered your belongings. You must need this" Zain said by taking over the bag of crackles containing pregnant women's milk from the hands of Barra Adi Sanjaya and handing the item over to Nandini.

"Maa yes Allah ... Alhamdulillah .. I almost forgot earlier, thanks Zainal. Thank you Barra!" said Nandini with sparkling eye beads.

Unknowingly, Nandini reflexively stroked her still flat stomach. "Son, if only Om Zain had been your real father, you would have been so happy!" bathin Nandini's.

"Yes Allah .. forgive me for this wrong feeling!" bathin Nandini again.

Zainal was ceaselessly looking at Nandini's face, though blocked by Arjuna's stare at her.

"I think your business is done! Nandini my future wife, God willing tonight I will bring my parents here. I'll propose to Nandini Sukma Dewi, in one week's time we'll have a wedding!" arjuna was in front of everyone. Until those who heard his words did not expect the courage of Arjuna Restu Pamungkas.

Aslan who is not sensitive about the triangle story between his sister Nandini Sukma Dewi with Arjuna and Zainal Abidin, he also supports Arjuna's good intentions.

"I agree with your decision, the sooner the better!" aslan said with a pat on Arjuna's shoulder. The figure of the young man who will be his sister-in-law, also the husband and prospective father for the baby conceived by his sister Nandini.

Arjuna seemed to hear the words of Aslan, he was happy because his proposal would automatically be accepted and of course he won a thousand steps from Zainal Abidin.

"Thank you, Brother!" arjuna said with an embrace of Aslan's shoulder.

Arjuna was proud, with the support of his future sister-in-law. He glanced at Zainal with a sneaky grin.

"Taste by you the dumb bookworm, you finally got the stone. I don't have to bother to drop you, just throw a smile can be sure to bring and incise the wound in your heart!" bathin Arjuna with a sneaky smile that he deliberately directed at Zainal Abidin.

Zainal lowered his gaze, his heart was completely sliced open when he heard Arjuna's words if he would immediately propose and marry Nandini Sukma Dewi, the woman he loved for the last 6 years. From the time they sat on the bench of the early Junior High until this moment the taste was still intact for Nandini Sukma Dewi.

"Din, we'll take care! thank you for accepting our arrival. Take good care of yourself!" zainal said with eyes that began to glaze over.

I want Zainal to cry, to see the reality. However, what the power of life's destiny has been drawn if at this time he and Nandini cannot live together. Because it has been tied to Arjuna Restu Pamungkas.

Nandini was silent, her chest tightened when she heard Zainal about to move from her residence.

"O Allah .. I am not ready to let Zain go from my side of life! however, my attachment to Arjuna made me unable to remain with Zain!" Bathin Nandini's.

Zainal is strong and strong in front of everyone. He kept showing his smile to Nandini and everyone present in the living room.

"Zainal, I know the smile you're looking at is just to cover up your disappointment. The smile that was engraved on your face, actually carried a wound for me. I'm disappointed in myself, I'm sorry that from a long time ago to this second always let you down!" bathin Nandini Sukma Dewi with bowed bitterly.

Pearl strand wisdom 👉"Love does not have to have but human consciousness lost when in love makes it feel difficult. Love is always suspicious. That's one proof that love should have. True love emanates from this pure heart even though love does not have to have let me just enjoy you in a dream. (Saddened😢😢 )
