Arif Al Hakim's



"Nadya, Fariz is a good man. He deserves a much better woman than me. I don't just appreciate Fariz. I respect the Atmaja family. The taste isn't wrong, but it's not for me. I don't expect to feel love for Fariz or any other man. Including Uztad Arif, I'm the rib that should be the backbone. So don't ever think there's going to be a taste of it!" said Vira lirih, Nadya immediately pulled the hand of Vira. Grasping tightly onto Vira's hand, then winked and nodded.


"Sorry!" nadya said, feeling guilty. Vira shook his head weakly. Cue him fine.


"Ustad Arif!" nadya shouted spontaneously, Sontak Arif Menoleh along with Vira. The gazes of the two met in the air, Fariz followed the direction of Vira's gaze. He saw a man that Nadya and Vira had been talking about since.


"Nadya, shut up. Look ustad Arif turned his head towards us. What are you gonna do? If only he had come here!" vira said softly, Nadya closed her mouth. Unknowingly Nadya greeted ustad Arif whom she had never known. Nadya was embarrassed.


"Sorry!" said Nadya while staying down. Vira looked at Arif who was looking at her. With a nod of his head and a smile. Vira is forced to greet him, instead Arif looks back at Vira's smile. The third time Vira has to deal with men because of Nadya. Vira seemed to be inexhaustible, why would she have to deal with a male name? Arif Al Hakim is a man who Vira has always avoided. Just to keep his family's good name. Now even impressed Vira wants to know and be close to him.


Arif walked away from the canteen. From the beginning, he did not want to go to the cafeteria. Arif is having business with the rector. That's why he came to college. Then he accidentally met one of the lecturers who happened to be his friend. Finally Arif went to the rector's room with his friend.


"Luckily, he's not approaching us. Otherwise I could be embarrassed!" vira said in relief, Nadya mangosteen agreed. His shame and guilt. Making Nadya can only nod in agreement with Vira.


"Buck!"


There was the sound of solid objects falling right in front of Vira and Nadya's table. Vira and Nadya were shocked. They looked up at the thing that hit the table perfectly. Indeed, his voice is not too loud, but it can make people shocked and hanging.


"Blogging from mom, you're asked to come home later this afternoon. Mama invited you to lunch. Go with Fariz, I have a meeting. So can't pick you up!" said Azzam coldly, Nadya nodded then took the small paper bag in front of her. Nadya looked at the contents of the paper bag. There's a pretty dress in it.


Vira did not dare to look at Azzam. Azzam's cold voice instantly made him freeze. Moreover, Vira's firm attitude the last time they met. Makes Vira's body more rigid. As if he was no longer able to move. Not that he was afraid of Azzam, but he was thinking about his mother's condition. When Azzam was really mad at him.


"Thank you, I brought a car. I'm gonna go see Aunt Melda myself. No need to bother Azzam or Fariz!" nadya Sahut is no less cold than Azzam. Although there will be a sense of sadness for Azzam. Nadya will not let Azzam continue to oppress him. Nadya will not remain silent over Azzam's harsh treatment.


"Nadya, I have to go home. I have an appointment soon!" vira said, Nadya nodded. Nadya understands Vira's departure is just an excuse. Vira wants to give time to Nadya and Azzam. Fariz saw Vira go away.


"Master Azzam, I'm sorry!" vira said, then left Azzam. Without waiting for Azzam's answer. Vira leaves Azzam and Nadya. Azzam stared with great regret. He was angry about Vira's cold attitude.


"Why does she want me to marry her friend so much? No matter how hard she and Mom got me. To this day, I have no interest in this spoiled child Nadya. I don't need a woman who thinks she's worth fighting for!" inner Azzam was upset.


Five minutes after Vira left, Azzam also left Nadya. For Azzam time means a lot. It's not important to be near Nadya. Without saying much, Azzam went to the parking lot. Nadya was pensive to see the attitude of Azzam who was so cold and heartless. As if it was inappropriate for Nadya to accept her warm attitude.


"That's Brother Azzam, cold and heartless. But if I can be honest. Only on one woman did I see her warm gaze. Until now I've been trying to be in disbelief, but it seems like everything I've been thinking about is true!" fariz said, Nadya looked surprised. Fari's face was very serious. So there's no way he's lying. Even if it's just a thought, without proof.


"Who is that woman? Do I know him?" nadya said softly and as if heavy. Fariz looked down weakly without a doubt. Sontak Nadya held her heart pounding There was a fear of disappointment, when Fariz said Nadya knew him.


Fariz felt his thoughts were right. Since the beginning of Azzam came, not a second did Fariz release his eyes on Azzam. Even the way Azzam looked at Vira was clearly visible to Fariz. Although there is anger and disappointment. Knowing Vira the woman Azzam loved. Fariz tries to stay calm, she will not destroy her brotherhood just because of one love.


"Vira, he's the one who can make Azzam warm. Since the first time they met. Azzam behaved strangely, starting from the way he spoke and his attitude. All that is not the person of Azzam, but it looks like Azzam has to deal with the pain. Seeing the attitude and the way Vira spoke to me and to him. Obviously there will never be any love of Vira for us!" said Fariz, Nadya immediately gawked.


He was very surprised to hear Fariz's words. Never did he suspect, if Azzam save the taste of his best friend. If all that were true. Will Nadya still be able to be friends with Vira. Should he blame Vira or accept reality instead of him being loved by Azzam.


"Don't joke, I know Vira well. There's no way he likes Azzam's sister. He clearly knew who Azzam really was? If you're just frustrated, because of Vira's cold attitude. You shouldn't have wreaked on me!" nadya said in disbelief, Fariz shook his head many times.


There's no way Fariz would lie for something that's real. He couldn't possibly say something that would be fatal to Vira's life. If only his family knew how Azzam felt about Vira. Or his feelings for Vira. For the Atmaj family will never allow his heir. Especially Azzam knows women who are not equal.


"Whether I or Azzam's brother won't be easy to love Vira. You saw for yourself, how much Vira refused to know us. Vira knows my family well. But if Vira chooses between the two of us. I believe at once that I and Azzam's brother are ready to fight for Vira!" fariz said, Nadya looked down weakly.


"Maybe Vira will betray our friendship. For the sake of his love for Azzam!" nadya lirih.
