Sidewalk

Chapter 49 Sculpting

The two of them clashed face to face, eyes that were so sharp it was difficult to decipher. Shafi immediately went to step foot, wasting energy just staying here.

“You are so obsessed with me, yes Aul. You hunted me down to here. But baby, soon I will get married, your drama of sadness will not be able to make me concerned about you.”

As soon as Shafi's footsteps came to a halt, he again stepped closer to the man. “There are more valuable for me to fight, besides you Mr. Arnaff!”

“Don't be a hypocrite, just say you're not sincere I left.”

“Haaah ..” Shafi smiled. Shaking his head, it was extremely astonished at the man who was currently standing in front of him. For some reason the man hated her so much, he did nothing, it was still wrong. “What happened was the best thing for me, I grieve not for failing to marry, but for the death of my uncle and aunt.” The Shafi directed his sharp gaze at Arnaff.

“You think I believe, with your change now, you think I will be fascinated and fall in love with you when I meet you?” Arnaff stared back into the eyes of the Shafi with a cynical look.

“I changed not because of you!”

“Mbak Aurelia ..” The call broke the tension.

Shafi turned towards the voice that was sourced, seen a man who rode a motorcycle wearing a jacket logo ojek online. “Iya I Sir,” replied Syafi. Shafi immediately took the helmet that the motorcycle taxi driver gave him. Get on the motor. The motorcycle taxi driver immediately drove off the area.

Arnaff was still looking at the slow-moving motor that carried the Shafi. “He thought, by changing my appearance like that I would fall in love? Cheek!” Arnaff spat to the side.

“Sorry sir, we were late, it was finished playing, Non Nadira said he saw his teacher, so we walked around, but did not meet with Nadira teacher,” said nanny Nadira.

Arnaff crouched down in front of his daughter. “Sayang .. tomorrow will still be school, so tomorrow will definitely see teacher Nadira again,” refer Arnaff. The little princess still looked glum.

“I have not said thank you miss Aurel, was willing to miss eating ice cream, but papa who treat.”

“Let's treat miss Aurel, she's Rara's favorite teacher, huh?”

“Iya papa.”

“Now we go home first. Sometimes we invite miss Aurel yes ...”

Finally the little boy was invited home. Slowly Arnaff's car also left the place. Throughout the journey only Nadira stories that color their journey home.

Morning, evening and night are the activities of the Shafi. Morning teaching, home picked up Mr. Ajah. Sings with Athan. Dinner with Dirga. There is no other privilege. Every morning gifts and a sprig of white roses are also always he can get. It's just that the gift and the contents of the letter are different every day. The most boring one is Athan's seduction. I don't know when the man that the Shafi thinks is a friend can stop flirting with him. His relationship with Nadira is also getting closer and closer.

Not felt, two weeks already Shafi taught in this school. The same morning as the previous morning,

breakfast together with Dirga and bi Masri before leaving fulfill their respective responsibilities.

“Fiy, usually go home what time you after gig?” Dirga opened the chat this morning.

“Before magrib I've reached home, brother. Why kak?”

“Tonight, Sam invited us to dinner, apparently at a Restaurant. Can you come with?”

that used to cheerful face looked grim at the moment.

“If you can't be okay.” Dirga continued his breakfast the morning.

During this time Dirga always gave her freedom, gave her many things. Shafi feels guilty

rejecting Dirga's invitation. “Good brother, I'm coming with sister tonight.”

He no longer spoke, only nodded his head and continued to enjoy his morning breakfast.

At Arnaff's parents' house.

Nadira has left with her nanny to school. Arnaff also went to the office. Leti and Rinto stay at home. Rinto's phone rang, one message from Sam came in. Rinto immediately opened the message. His heart was relieved, so long waiting Sam finally wanted to meet him. The future of his company will soon be known after talking to Sam later.

“Mama. Later that night we're invited to dinner by Sam. Mama tell Arnaff,” pinta Rinto.

Leti immediately typed in a message on his phone, telling them Sam invited them all to dinner.

School work is going on as usual, nothing has changed. After completing his schoolwork, Shafi returned home soon, as his duties to Athan were not yet complete, after a short break he immediately prepared to sing with Athan in the usual place this afternoon.

All the work of the Shafi went well, no matter how many duet songs he sang with Athan. I don't know, it feels like Athan has become part of his life now, it feels like there is less if it is not gelud with the child. Athan's job is done, it's time to go home. Tonight there's a dinner with Sam's family. A very respected family, and a family that is very proud of Uncle Ardhin.

The clock shows at 8 p.m. Shafi had dressed up as much as he could to accompany Dirga to meet the dinner invitation. But what he was waiting for had not yet come. The sound of the car engine that stopped was heard, the sign of the waiting for Shafi had ended, because what he was waiting for finally came. The Shafi immediately welcomed Dirga. When he got to the door, Dirga was also right at the door. Instantly Dirga's blood rippled at the appearance of the Shafi.

Dirga immediately gathered the rest of his consciousness. “Sorry, there was business in the office. Sorry I was late,” he said.

“It's okay sister.” Shafi carved a smile on his face.

“Choose directly, I have taken a shower and changed clothes in the office earlier.”

Shafi immediately followed Dirga's footsteps. Both of them stepped towards the car. I don't know when this wall of awkwardness collapsed. Along the way both are compactly silent. Even after arriving at the destination, the two were still compactly silent. Get off the car immediately.

After entering the restaurant area, things looked quiet. Several people were seen piled up on one table, near the table was a large monitor screen. Not far from the table was a music scene. It just still looks empty.

“Sorry everyone, I was late, earlier the job in the office was very—” Instantly Dirga tongue kelu, when he saw anyone sitting chairs that surround the table. Dirga immediately turned around to invite the Shafi away from this place. Being here only makes the Shafi hurt again. But too late, the eyeball of the Shafi has met with a figure who incised deep wounds, in his life.

“I should have followed your first answer this morning, I'm sorry, I had absolutely no idea they were there,” Dirga said. At first glance Dirga glanced at Leti, Rinto, and Arnaff.

Shafi still stared, his eyes were so sharp directed at men who were also no less keen to look at him.

Dirga did not want the Shafi to be hurt again. He grabbed the hand of the Shafi and grasped it tightly. “Sorry Sir, we can't come to dinner with you.” Dirga immediately withdrew the hand of the Shafi to leave the place.
