Salsabila Putri (Choosing the Hijrah Road)

Heart Movement

Hustle and bustle of the city is quite stifling in the morning, smog pollution in the air everywhere seen several cars busy passing to the place where they collect the coffers of money. life in the city is indeed quite complicated soul cut royong very thin even not visible at all, mutually concerned with profit and own affairs like some pretty viral words 'my life is my business, my life is my business, and your life is your business' that's how the principle of living in the city vying for each other's welfare.

seen some living creatures filled the grounds of the Auditorium in one of the universities that are quite famous in the city of A they were busy greeting each other, greeting each other and congratulating each other to their children.

"Rat, to celebrate your graduation day and as a form of my gratitude I want to treat you to a movie theater after night there is a good movie that again airs the title Love because Ta'aruf, I want to treat you to a movie, how do you want to?" sasa asked Ratna who had just finished greeting some of the other graduates.

"would you like it, just the two of us?" Ratna was so enthusiastic that it could be seen from the eyes of Ratna that sparkled for a long time she did not watch with her best friend, the last time was in the 5th semester almost 1 year ago because it was too busy taking care of thesis research as well as sasa.

"no rat, there's my brother too. he's also here when he's sitting in the gazebo over there anyway" Sasa pointed to one of the gazebos that are in the corner of the yard, ratna's eyes followed where Sasa's index finger was.

"yuuk we there" invited Sasa to embrace Ratna's arm, they stepped with slow and graceful steps especially Ratna's clothes which made the space of movement more limited.

"Abang" cried Sasa as he stood before Ferdi.

Ferdi looked up when he heard a familiar voice in his ears. immediately Ferdi fell silent to look at the beauty Ratna who was beside the Ratna sasa almost the same as the beautiful and tiny Sasa but Ratna was slightly higher than sasa, natural and inconspicuous makeup polish adds a sweet impression on her face, b

dress wrapped in Avocado color and decorated toga on his head makes Ratna look elegant and elegant. "beautiful" inner Ferdi still silently pecked to pay attention to Ratna without blinking.

Sasa and Ratna were made to gawk, instead of answering and were silent.

"Abang Ferdi" exclaimed Sasa his voice had gone up an octave.

Ferdi gasped in shock from his daydream "Eh..."

"kok even daydream the hell bang, know this friend Sasa his name Ratna" said Sasa introduced the two.

Ferdi raised his hand about to greet Ratna, but his hand got a blow from Sasa.

"do not greetings, not mahrams" Sasa warned.

Ratna chuckled softly noticing the silliness of her siblings, quickly Ratna clenched her hands together in front of her chest "Ratnasari, just call Ratna like Sasa" Ratna politely introduced herself.

Ferdi smiled sweetly "Ferdinan Darent" clenched his hands together in front of his chest.

"Abang has forgotten well Ratna?, at that time Ratna was also present at the graduation ceremony Sasa" asked Sasa was surprised by Ferdi's expression as if he had just met the first.

Ferdi raised his eyebrows next door, noticing Ratna once again trying to remember which girl Sasa meant.

"you strange girl" unknowingly the remark escaped from Ferdi's mouth as he remembered the girl who had a smile of her own while at Ratih's house he immediately closed her mouth, saying, while condemning his stupidity "shitless. stupid mouth" destroyed already his good impression in the eyes of Ratna the first beautiful woman who was able to move his heart.

Ratna furrowed her brows when she heard Ferdi say. "strange girl?" he said it again Ferdi's words.

"Eh. That's not what I mean, Emmm..." Ferdi clumsy himself felt awkward because he did not know what to say.

again Ratna threw her sweet smile to make Ferdi again fascinated.

drrrrt drrtt

ratna's phone is ringing.

"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum mah"

"......."

"sa I have to go home my family's waiting, you don't want to come to my house?" tawar Ratna's.

"ah thank you rat, it seems that can not be the case that my brother had an urgent interest" Sasa refused politely, he deliberately did that because Sasa felt bad if he had to go to Ratna's house to bring a man, hearing Sasa's rejection made Ferdi's eyes bulge.

"it's fine that I go first, thank you so much for taking the time to attend" said Ratna sincerely, then hugged Sasa for a moment before leaving.

since leaving the campus location Ferdi continues to be silently sculpted, Sasa glanced at Ferdi while giggling amusedly he knew what caused his brother was silent what else if not for Sasa refusing to be invited to Ratna's house if only Sasa did not refuse Ferdi could make introduction and approach before approaching Ratna, but Sasa did not want to take a dizzy he chose to sleep rather than serving Ferdi who was inviting him to cold war.

ferdi took a quick glance at Sasa, he sneered at Sasa who was fast asleep even he did not care at all why he became silent.

"basis Sasa is insensitive" Ferdi's murmur was slightly irritated.
