Red Hooded Girl

Distrusting

"Mimiiiiiin...!” a woman standing at the door of her room.

“Hanaaaa....!” reply Mimin called out the name of his best friend.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikum salam."

Then the two veiled girls hugged in a euphoria of excitement. After a while of hugging, they took off their hugs and pinched each other's cheeks.

"Kangiteteen..."

"Sama kangeeeeen too. Hug again..." They hugged back.

"Here. We sit down, talk first" Mimin said after taking off his arms. He led Hana to sit on the edge of her bed. Mimin also went up and sat on the bed resting his back on the headboard.

"Mimin..you are getting really beautiful anyway," praised Hana as she pinched Mimin's cheek.

"Don't be so ah, you can break the ceiling of my room, if you praise me like that." Mimin retorted pinched the gnarled cheek of Hana.

"So... how?"

"How's what?"

"How are you Han?"

"Alhamdulillah healthy sentosa."

"Alhamdulillah. When are you here? I'm not saying anything about coming here."

"I'll have a surprise."

"Rahma doesn't know you're here either?"

Hana shook her head. "No."

Hana, Mimin and Rahma have been best friends since childhood. They used to be in the same elementary school. In the 5th grade, Hana moved to school because she was following her father. Hana's parents have been divorced since she was 5 years old. From the age of 5 years to the 4th grade of Elementary School, he went with his mother who lived in the village of Cibening. Only after 5th grade Elementary school did he come with his father.

Although Hana did not live in the village of Cibening, it did not erode the tightness of their friendship. Every long school holiday arrives, Hana always returns to her mother's house in Cibening village.

Especially with current communication technology, distance is no longer a problem in their friendship. They even created a WhatsApp chat group called "Trio Akhwat" which consists of the three of them. Definition of far in the close eye in WA.

"Steak... Hana's having breakfast!" mami yelled out her head from behind the bedroom door.

Hannah looked towards Mami. "Ga do Mih. Next time the problem was Hana had breakfast," he said.

"It's here atuh Han. Yuk... Breakfast!" mami again.

"Yes Mih... Hana also misses Mami's coveted cuisine, steady right. God willing, if you come here again. You are still full now," said Hana.

"Yes, then. Mami stay behind first yes," said Mami then went to the kitchen.

"Yes Mami geulis."

After Mami goes to the kitchen, Hana turns her eyes back to Mimin.

"So..when did you come to this city?" Mimin resumed question and answer activities with his best friend.

Usually Hana will give news through a group chat if you want to go back to Cibening village. But this, without giving any news, Hana's words came to her house.

"I got here yesterday afternoon at about eleven" replied Hana.

Hana shifted her sitting position, then lifted her legs up and sat cross-legged on the mattress so that their positions faced each other. While Mimin leaned his back on the head of the bed.

"Min... I am happy again. Because my prayers for many years have finally been granted by God," said Hana enthusiastically.

"Yes... Which prayer, Han?" ask Mimin.

"Yesterday afternoon I met Iyan" said Hana. Both of his hands cupped his cheeks expressing excitement.

Mimin who was originally sitting leaning, then leaning forward, because he was enthusiastic about Hana's story.

"Yyan.. your all-time future priest, Han?" Since childhood, Hana often tells about Iyan as "Superhero" who always defended and helped him when he was bullied. And as they grew older, Hana often referred to Iyan as the future priest of her dreams.

"Yes," said Hana enthusiastically.

"Alhamdulillah finally met also Iyan. Keep going... Where did you meet?" Mimin was also enthusiastic to hear Hana's story.

"So afternoon. Meet because of the accident incident," said Hana.

"What about accident incident?"

"So the story goes, my bike was hit by it, until I fell off the bike. Uh, it turns out that the one who hit was Iyan."

"It's an accident!" Mimin's face was shocked.

"Keep you okay Han?" ask Mimin to worry.

"Thank God it's okay."

"Alhamdulillah does not exist. Scuff a little." Hana showed her slightly scuffed hand. "But it doesn't matter" he continued.

"Alhamdulillah, fortunately not until there are serious injuries, yes" said Mimin.

"How does the story go about meeting Iyan?" Mimin continued to ask back.

"That's exactly what I didn't have time to talk much with him. I haven't even asked where she lives. You see he seemed to rush that, whether to go where," complained Hana.

"Yeah..." Mimin was disappointed.

"But I already have his phone number anyway," continued Hana.

"Yes..." Mimin is also happy.

"But how, when I called him anyway. Shame?"

"Emmm... It is not uncommon for women to contact men first. But if you're pressing, that's okay. Rather than the future priest all the time you're lost to the earth again, right?"

"Yes too."

"But you're sure that Iyan isn't married yet?!"

"Eh, I don't know. I haven't asked you to get there."

"Maybe if you see him again, the first thing you ask is his status. Fearing she was married," Mimin suggested.

"If it turns out he's married. I don't think I can look at the sun anymore, Min," Hana said with a look. For him God was the only man he dreamed of as a future priest. In fact, he several times refused ta'aruf offers from some brothers who intend to establish a marriage relationship with him.

"Hopefully it's not like that Han. I pray for you Han, too" Mimin said with a sincere smile.

"Thank you, Mimin." Hana moved her body to embrace Mimin. And they both hugged.

"Now it's your turn to tell the story" said Hana after taking off her embrace

"I'm a story, there's nothing interesting to tell" Mimin said.

"About your husband?"

"Emmm...."

Hana clasped Mimin's hand. "Sorry Min, I didn't hear about it..." Hana did not continue her sentence.

"About rumors of my marriage?!" guess Mimin seemed to understand if Hana would ask that.

Hana hesitated. Yesterday he had a conversation with his mother. And mom told me about what happened to Mimin.

Mimin smiled looking at Hana. "You believe Han, that I...."

"Not Min. I'm sure you're not like that" Hana said before Mimin finished his sentence.

Now replace Mimin who leaned his body forward hugging Hana. "Thank you, Han, you believe me" he said.

"certain... We will be friends," replied Hana still with a hugging position.

As the two were hugging, Mimin's eyes stared at the clock on the wall. "Astagfirullah, it's eight o'clock, Han. I had to go to work," she said then let go of a hug.

"Just go with me, Min. I happen to be going to college too. I'll take you to the office."

"Emmm... Yes," said Mimin.

Then Mimin got out of bed and immediately prepared his briefcase. Hana also came down from the bed and grabbed her bag.

"Let off now?"

"Yes dong."

"Hayu... I was saying good to Mami ya."

"Ready. Uh, where's Abah Min? Haven't seen Abah."

"Udah had left at dawn."

Then the two went to the kitchen to say goodbye to Mommy. After saying goodbye, Mimin and Hana walked out of the house. When Mimin opened the door of his house, he found Dewa sitting on the porch chair as usual. Just like the morning before. Waiting for Mimin to go together to work.

The god immediately got up from his seat as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening.

"Generic, Sa..."

"L....!!" hana exclaimed before the Gods perfected the greeting to his halal lover.
