"Alhamdulillah, it's finally over." Said Isma relieved, upon arriving home. He was finally able to re-spit his body on the soft mattress he had left behind for these three days.
Slowly, Isma began to close her eyes. Instead of sleeping, his mind brought him to recall Bimo's words on the way home.
"Is, there's actually something I want to talk to you about."
"What's? I'm willing to be a listener."
"But you have to promise one thing." Gets a little bit to Isma.
"Promise? What promise?" Ask Isma curious.
Bimo adjusts the sitting position comfortably. Both of his hands were tightly holding the steering wheel of the car. Then he took a deep breath. "Whatever I say later.I like not liking you with what you hear. And we're still friends."
For a moment Isma was silent. He began to guess where this conversation was going. Actually, all this time Isma knew that Bimo liked him. But, Isma had always hoped that Bimo would not reveal it to her.
"You want to, right. Promise?" Connect Bimo.
Isma nodded, then smiled. "Ok, I promise."
"I love you, Isma." He said firmly and loudly.
Isma regulated her breathing. Suddenly feels hot. "Bim, I love you too.." Sighs, and Bimo's lips almost smile.
"As friends. Yes, as a friend."
His smile was gone and changed into a disappointed face. Actually Bimo knew he was going to be rejected. But, as a human being he wished he had little hope of gaining Isma's heart.
Isma opened her eyes. He tried to forget the memory of the conversation with Bimo last afternoon. "I'm sorry Bim. I hope you haven't changed. Just be the usual Bimo who always makes me smile." He said expectantly.
Drritt's…
Isma's phone is shaking, incoming call from Prince. Isma answered the call.
"What can you do for me, boss?"
"It's not working hours. You can call me by name."
Isma fell silent in surprise, 'Why did the Boss suddenly become strange, anyway?' His inner.
"Isma, I want to know your answer."
"What answer, Boss?" Isma pretended not to know.
"I'm serious, Is. I want you to be my life partner forever."
"Boss willing to convert?"
Prince was silent for a moment. The question left him unable to do anything.
"I know, Isma. But. I want you to wait for me. Wait until I'm ready to convert. Wait until I'm sure I know Islam."
It was Isma's turn to be silent. Many things now revolve in Isma's mind. Starting from Trauma Arya, and also the mandate of Abah to marry Isma to her best friend's child. Added to that with Abah's revenge.
"Isma.. Please! Give me a chance."
"I'm confused. Why can the Boss suddenly like me. And why is it so fast that Boss forgets Amanda who's been with the Boss for five years."
"I've never liked Amanda more than a best friend."
"Hehh, lie." Said Isma while smiling amusedly.
"i'm serious. Why don't you believe it?"
"The boss gives his whole heart attention, always with him during the night when not working. The boss spent all his time with him. Is that not love? Hah, men are all the same."
"OKs. It's natural you don't believe. This conversation is too long. How about we meet tomorrow, at Suncafe."
"I don't promise."
"I'll wait until you come."
Prince ended the conversation. And Isma put her phone back on the nightstand.
Tok…
"Daddy, can I come in?" Ask Arya.
"Yes, my mom." Isma opened the door to her room. Let Arya come in and sit on the sofa next to her dresser. Isma sat on her bed.
"You still tired?"
"It's a little tired, it was a hot bath." Isma.
"That means can you dong mas by the way?"
"By the way, mas. Adek will be a good listener." A smile was sweet looking at Arya.
"About the boss adek non-Muslim, why is adek not honest with mas?"
Isma was silent, she was confused as to what to answer. During this time whenever Arya discussed about the company, Isma always diverted the conversation.
"I'm sorry, mas. Adek did not mean to lie. Adek was just scared, mad. Adek likes the same job adek, especially finally the wonderland design that used to always be dreamy, has begun to be built. He did not want to quit his job just because the owner of the company was non-Muslim. After all, during the workweek they never treat Muslim employees with bad treatment. They even provide a place of prayer for Muslim employees." Isma.
"Hopefully.mas only worried that if you know this, the matchmaking of adek will be accelerated." Aryan.
Seriate…
