Afifa just smiled and shook her head. He got up from his seat and headed towards the cashier, paid for his food, then turned his body towards Farid who was still sitting in the chair. "I go first." waved at Farid.
Afifa exited the resto door, stepped towards the side of the highway.
His head was wobbly looking for angkot destination of his passing house.
"Wait under that tree, Fa.Let me find the angkot." Farid said pointing to a shady tree in front of the restaurant, it turns out he was behind Afifa.
"No need.I have to." replied Afifa.
"It's so hot, Fa.he's so hot.have been waiting for it."
Afifa also followed Farid's advice, indeed that afternoon the sun still feels hot. Afifa walked under the tree.
Before long the green Angkot majors Afifa's house stopped in front of Farid who waved his hands. Farid called Afifa with a hand signal.
Afifa approached the angkot, and Farid led him around the angkot to the door on the right.
"Thank you, sister." said Afifa before parting ways.
"Together..." Answer Farid. "Make sure this beautiful Miss survived to her destination..." Shouted Farid to Brother Angkot.
"Ready Mas..." Bang said the driver smiled.followed the smile of other passengers in the angkot. Afifa just smiled.
"Be careful Fa.until you see me again..." Said Farid with a slightly raised voice because angkot almost drove.
Afifa nodded and felt awkward as well as being the center of attention of the passengers while smiling at him.
"His girlfriend is neng...?" Asked a young mother while holding her considerable groceries.
"Not Ceu...Friend." Afifa smiled.
"Oh.great attention like his girlfriend"
Afifa just smiled at the mother.
During Afifa's pensive journey, her mind again flashed on her familiarity with Farid at the restaurant earlier. Afifa did not expect Farid to be as warm and familiar as it was to talk to him. To be honest, although Afifa had a relationship status with Farid first, but actually he never spoke to her directly, only a few love letters were entrusted through a classmate at his school, surely it has become a subscription as an impromptu postman at that time... If occasionally want to meet of course Sofi always be their mediator, and when SMU they are still jaim-jaim-jaiman so.not sebumble Farid now... Yes.the name is also a love story in the lodge, where Afifa dare to chat alone...😀. Sofi kali demon...😀...Oops...😉😉😉.
About 20 minutes Afifa arrived in front of his house. She returned to her husband's shop to pick up her backpack, then walked towards her home.
Afifa rushed to clean up because the ashar time soon arrived.
*****
It's almost seven o'clock in the night Fauzi hasn't been home yet. Afifa called her husband. Fauzi picked her up and told her she was going home late at night.
"Hhhhhhh...." Afifa let out a long breath. If he comes home late I can not ask tonight donk. Afifa rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Who knows if her husband came home early and had not eaten dinner. Finished with her cooking she prayed isya, then sat back on the sofa watching television while waiting for her husband to come home.
"Click..." Incoming message voice. "Assalamualaikum.." It says ordered Whatsaap.
Afifa thought for a moment, there was no name in contact with the sender, he saw his profile written some Arabic script that basically gives motivation. Afifa.
"Click.." reads the second message. Afifa. "Greetings are obligatory..."
Who the...? ask Afifa in your heart.
he also replied to the message.
"Waalaikum Hail Warohmatulloh... Sorry...with whom?" sent message.
"Well..had forgotten the same friend? 😉"
Afifa was astonished, her forehead wrinkled. "Friends?" sent message.
"Yes...friends..we are friends, right? I have permission from your husband...😀"
"Ah...Brother Farid?" Afifa laughed and guessed.
"Who else 😅"
"What's wrong, brother...?" ask Afifa to the point.
"Just want to make sure you're safe at home..."
"Ih...So very attention.which is also the wife of people kali.yeeeey..."
"Haha..already know the times.do not need in ingetin also."
"Emang should be noted..let's not kebablasan tuh godain wife person 😀."
"Actually I'm bored again si.iseng-iseng check your number."
"Continue?"
"Yes.nothing hehe...Oh, yes, what is your thesis? done in?"
"Still the hehe process..."
"Is there anything I can help you with? I still have a lot of reference books, I just graduated."
"No need.lagian our majors are different, where there are engineering majors the same reference education is the same..."
"Yeah of Afifa... Science is basically the same as mh..."
"Yes, too, but don't..."
"Why? Do I need to ask permission first with your husband...?"
"Apaan si..start dech..."
"haha.ya I have already given the reference yes.. later you will tell the information via Chat aja, about the title and theme of your thesis."
"Yes dech...🖒"
"Assalamualaik." Afifa ended the conversation.
"Waalaikum salam."
*****
At ten o'clock Fauzi just got to his house. Afifa who had fallen asleep on the sofa was aghast to wake up to hear the sound of a motorbike stopping in front of her house.
He rushed to open the door.
"Assalamualaikum" Fauzi said
"Waalaikum salam. How late are you coming home, brother?" Afifa kissed her husband's hand.
"Yes.so look at the location of the project."
"Oh...Already eaten?" ask Afifa.
"Had eaten with Kok Samsir. It's not good to refuse his offer either... Have you not eaten yet?" asked Fauzi who saw a disappointed expression on his wife's face.
"Ah.nothing...Fifa's not hungry." Forcing a smile, even though she was disappointed had long waited for her husband to eat his cooking.
"Eat first before going to bed, later if we are all who bother." Fauzi passed to the bathroom leaving Afifa still standing.
Whahuh? Is that all...? There is no concern for the same wife.
Afifa also had no appetite, she rushed to the kitchen and put her food into the heater.
*****
The days passed by Fauzi was getting busier, especially after his plan to open a branch of the store in collaboration with Kok Samsir was already running. At least the frequency of their meetings, only at night, and sometimes Fauzi came home late. As well as Afifa, she focused on completing her final task. With the help of Farid Afifa was able to quickly complete his captaincy, although rarely met, Farid always monitored him and gave various inputs about his skirps.
*****
One month passed, Today Afifa felt happy because he had carried out his script exam.A signature he had obtained, only a few points that needed to be revised.
Afifa just came out of the courtroom when the time showed at 4 pm, he took to the mosque and then walked to the parking lot to take his motorcycle.
"Kriiiing.. " Afifa mobile phone voice. Afifa immediately morogoh his bag looking around for objects that make noise.Take it he saw the incoming call from a familiar number, "Kak Farid". He swiped the phone screen, received a call.
"Assynoltom..."
"Waalaikum salam. Fa.. I'm at the cafe in front of your campus. I'm waiting."
"Huh..what's up, sister?" asked Afifa in wonder, only this time Farid met him in the campus.
"Come here.I'll wait...Assalamualaikum."
"Trup.
"Waalaikum salam." replied Afifa quietly, still astonished.
Afifa again kept the helmet he had held earlier on the motorcycle, then walked across the road to the cafe which is right in front of the campus. Afifa was looking for the figure of Farid who turned out to be in the back corner was waiting for him. Farid waved his hand hinting at his whereabouts, Afifa hesitated to step foot, Kok effect like a courtship person so yes, use sitting in the corner again. Afifa Mumbles.
"Fa.." call Farid who sees Afifa still standing in front of the cafe. "Here it is." and he waved his hand back.
Afifa had to go in and approach the table Farid occupied. Afifa looked around, the cafe was quieter than usual. There were only 2 customers there, maybe because the lower class was on holiday, there were only final semester students who were on trial exams, and there were only students who were on trial, perhaps because of the tension they did not sit back in the cafe, most were waiting for their turn to be called, because Afifa initials A, so he first entered the courtroom.
"What's up, sister...?" ask Afifa again still standing.
"Sit down..."
Afifa sat opposite Farid
"Where is the trial going?" ask Farid
"Alhamdulillah. Oh yes.thank you, brother, help Afifa."
"Eits..we are friends, do not thank you all. besides I do not help much anyway.itumh basically you are a smart since long ago haha..."
"Yes.but Kak Farid helped Fifa a lot...Brother Farid also used to not lose smart, General champion again..." Afifa started to smile.
"Ha ha.so I want to go back in time..." Farid.
"Ah..began again dech..." Afifa laughed, Somehow Farid always made Afifa laugh.
"Ha.ha..." Farid shook his hand in front of him. "O yes..want to eat what Fa...?"
"Eeemmmm" Afifa thought
"Must be meatballs.haha..." Farid guessed Afifa's order, he knew very well since Afifa was very fond of eating meatballs.
"I know Aja..."
"Or donk..haha..." Farid stands "Tea...Meatballs 2 yes. same iced sweet tea 2." cried Farid on the waiter Cafe.
Actually Afifa was already restless, uncomfortable sitting there, how if suddenly Sofi knew his meeting with Farid, could misunderstand dech.
"O..ya Fa... Can I ask you a question?" farid.
"Hmmm..why?" Afifa lifted her face
"Do you have a problem?" Farid showed a serious face, with a probing look.
"meaning?" Afifa frowned, trying to smile.
"Problems... Yes, what a problem."
"No, I don't have a problem." Smiling was forced.
Their orders came. "Give me tea." said the two. the waiter nodded and passed.
"Related?" Still with a look.
"Heem.." replied Afifa briefly while feeding her mouth meatball noodles to cover her stiff behavior. After a while they ate, Farid started talking again.
"Do you have any problems in your household?" ask Farid again
"Ohuk..uhuk..." Afifa who was eating was choking. His arm reflex grabbed the drink in front of him.
"Sorry..." Farid's speech thrusts the tissue forward of Afifa.
"What do you mean, brother?" Ask afifa in a slightly raised voice of displeasure.
"I know I don't have the right to ask you about your personal matters. But I just want you to be happy Fa..."
"Why can you conclude that I'm not happy?" Afifa stopped chewing her food, she kept the spoon and garfu she held on a bowl still filled with half meatballs.
"I know the Fa...I know you very well, I'm sorry.if all this time I've been secretly watching your behavior and your life."
"What??? on what basis do you interfere in my personal affairs." Afifa got up from her seat, about to step, but her steps were held back with Farid's hand pulling his hand.
"Wait Fa...Please don't hate me."
Afifa shook his hand and left the cafe for the campus. Afifa ran towards the campus toilet, had her legs tripped because her eyes were covered by a clear liquid that began to pool in her eyelids.
Farid stood up to catch up with Afifa, but he felt useless, unpleasant also began to be noticed by other cafe visitors.he also only noticed Afifa's bully who ran away from him until he was not seen again.
