Shadow of Love Pendant Asa

Friends are the Dream

In a simple library in a boarding school, a girl in a wide headscarf was tidying up some items after just tidying up the new books came.

"Let's go Nadia" said Ashar suddenly taking over a medium-sized cardboard that Nadia would initially pick up.

"Eh, yes mas." replied Nadia while taking a step back giving space to Ashar.

After Ashar put the cardboard on a shelf, Ashar again walked up to Nadia while patting her hands exposed to dust.

"Jazakumullah khoir ya Nad, you have helped me. Well, you do not know if you do not help, maybe not finished also the task mas, while the rest of the mas must be taught" said Ashar.

"Yes mas, equally." replied Nadia briefly while looking down.

"In exchange, let's buy. Nad must have missed his snacks Sri ma'am right?" the word Ashar reminds Nadia of her past with Ashar.

"Mas Ashar still remembers?" nadia asked in surprise.

"certain. Anything related to Nadia, I always remember it." said Ashar with a meaningful smile to Nadia, where Nadia still faithfully stared fixed on the floor that she poked.

"Come." continued Ashar invited Nadia. And Nadia followed behind Ashar.

If in the past, Nadia even always asked for Ashar, when Nadia was a child, now they have grown up, even just staring, they are now hesitant, because they already know their limits.

Arriving at the Sri stall, Ashar immediately ordered Nadia's favorite food and drink, and again Nadia smiled happily, because there were people who were still very attentive to her.

"O Allah, here I am met with someone who thinks highly of me, and loves me with all my heart, why should I cry for someone who clearly has no taste for me? I'm stupid." wrote Nadia in her heart.

"Nadia, eat. Wh why? Do you not like it anymore?" ask Ashar.

"Eh, inga mas, Nad still really likes it. Um, Nad just wonder the same mas Ashar, why mas Ashar still remember my favorite mas right?" asked Nadia moved.

"And I told you Nad, whatever is related to you, I still remember everything." replied Ashar.

"Is that so?" Nadia Gumam.

"Come Nad, eaten, do not say if you ask Mas bribe yes, hehe..if you ask bribed, wait halal first you know" said Ashar joking with oddity.

"Ih, what the hell is mas? Yes, this is Nad eating really." said Nadia met red.

After finishing eating at Sri's food stall, Nadia and Ashar returned to the boarding school, Ashar immediately resigned to prepare to teach, while Nadia said back to the dormitory.

Arriving at the dorm, Nadia has been faced with Umi Husna who turned out to be confused looking for the figure of Nadia.

"Oh my God, Nad, where have you been? Umi was confused about you, umi thought you were kidnapped" said Umi Husna who appeared in her room, with an anxious look on her face.

"Oh, sorry umi. Sorry Nadia. Earlier, Nadia met Ashar mas and Ashar mas needed help to tidy up the books that had just come in the Umi library. I'm sorry, if Nadia doesn't say goodbye" said Nadia, feeling guilty.

"You're the same Ashar? Just two?" umi Husna was surprised.

"I-iya umi." replied Nadia doubt Nadia know, the tone of the umi this time is different, it seems Umi does not like what has happened between Nadia and Ashar.

"Umi has to talk to Ashar, where is she?" tanya Umi Husna looked fierce.

"Mas Ashar is teaching umi" replied Nadia while looking down.

"Alright, now Nadia is getting ready for lunch first. Umi will look for Ashar first." said Umi Husna as she walked away from Nadia.

💕💕💕

"What do you mean Ashar? Why are you alone with Nadia in the library?" the trial of Umi Husna to his nephew who had been considered a child by him.

"Afwan umi." replied Ashar while looking down.

"Well, umi got it. You and he were friends when you were little, and you were very close. You guys used to play together, but that was Ashar. Now that you've grown up, there's been a limit between you. You are not mahrom" said Umi Husna.

"Yes Umi, Ashar understands." replied Ashar.

"If you understand, why are you two the same as him?" ask Umi Husna.

"Yes natural to mi.. their names also have not met for a long time, after meeting you do not want to chat first." replied Kyai Ilham who understood what Ashar did.

"But abi..."

"They are young, rich, umi never young." refute kyai Ilham.

"And the danger abi..they broke." again Umi Husna did not like the attitude of Ashar.

"Yes to mi, they've been great. They used to be friends, and now they seem to be dreams. They seem to miss each other, and like each other. Yes, we are only halal are both of them, so as not to be slandered." replied Kyai Ilham, who immediately made Umi Husna glare in disbelief with the words of her husband, who said, likewise with Ashar who is also no less surprised, because it is actually Ashar's desire. Ashar wants to justify Nadia to himself, but Ashar has not had the guts for it.

"I mean, we marry them?" ask umi Husna to clarify.

"Yes the name of two people who are not halal, continue in halal right that's the only way is not just marriage to mi? How about this umi?" kyai Ilham said astonished by his wife's attitude.

"Already, already. What about you, Shar? Is this the one you want? Yes to? You want to justify Nadia to?" guess the Kyai Ilham, who was eventually taken by Ashar.

After interrogating Ashar, now eating dinner, Nadia was invited to eat together at the kyai residence. Umi Husna does not allow Nadia to have dinner with Santri.

"Nadia." call Kyai Ilham.

"Yes abi?" answered Nadia kindly.

"May abi ask?"

"Please abi."

"Do you already have a taste for your opposite sex?" ask Kyai Ilham who made Nadia stop her eating activities.

"Afwan abi, I mean abi, what is it?" nadia was confused.

"Look Nadia, so.. there is a man, he was it. yes, if you say well established anyway, not yet established, but he is a hardworking, diligent man, and Sholih, InshaaAllah's. His worship is good, his Quran reading is also good. And, that guy, apparently likes you. Is Nadia ready, if married after Nadia at this time? Because abi rasa, Nadia's age is enough if you want to get married" said Kyai Ilham.

At once Nadia gasped, and she started thinking by lowering her head. While across from Nadia's seat, Ashar also looked down with an erratic heart.

"Nadia, if your heart is still doubtful, you don't have to answer it now. When is the time, if Nadia has sreg, Nadia can say the same umi or abi. Moreover, right now you have just arrived from Jakarta, you still need a break, so Umi and abi will not force you to immediately answer your brother's question." umi Husna said that made Nadia's heart more calm.

"Ehm, good umi, abi. Nadia will think about it first, InshaaAllah in the near future, Nadia will answer it." replied Nadia who actually made Ashar more and more unfriendly. Occasionally Ashar seemed to glance at the girl of his heart, but the girl was still faithfully focused with her food on the table and also the floor where she stood.

"I really hope you accept Nadia. Because I really love you, and I can't lie to my feelings." - Ashar.
