Alkan and Kia looked at each other and did not turn their gazes until Anggi pulled Kia's arm in jealousy to see Kia in such a friendly position with Alkan.
"It's not mahrom," said Anggi smiling wily.
Kia and Alkan were shocked. However, Kia covered her shock by being flat.
"Sorry, I was daydreaming until I accidentally bumped into you," Alkan said expressionlessly.
"I'm fine, I'm also wrong because I don't look ahead on the road" said Kia flat.
"Gus Alkan can not be acquainted? I'm Anggi Kia's sister," Anggi reached out his hand.
"Didn't you pull Kia because we're not mahrom?" Alkan frowned.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Anggi pulled his hand back. Alkan shook his head.
"You know my name, why do you know me again?" Alkan stepped out leaving Kia and Anggi who were standing looking at Alkan.
"Curtain! Arrogant. Luckily Kyai Syarif's son. If I'm not mocked, I make a beefy chicken all together to know the taste," said Kia. And his words managed to stop Alkan's steps.
"What did you say?" Alkan turned to look at Kia who was fussing at herself.
"What did I say?" Kia just left without caring about Alkan's question.
Anggi who saw Kia and Alkan walking in the opposite direction was forced to follow Kia even though Anggi was actually still willing to approach Alkan.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I so groggy when I look him in the eye and I feel like I want to always be close to him, I also feel that time is too fast when he is near me. But what should I do? I was so nervous that it was hard to breathe. No, this can't be love. Me and him only met 2 times, I'm this for sure because I'm fucked up now" Alkan said.
Alkan continued to step up while assuring himself that Alkan was not interested in Kia, until finally he arrived at the dormitory of the son and sat in the room of the students who had changed profession to ustadz in Ponpes An-nur. Then Alkan slept in his best friend's bed.
Alkan was close to the ustadz in the pesantren because who became the ustazd that year were his friends Alkan, ranging from younger siblings, one class and even upperclassmen.
"Your...! you why? I think you have more thoughts," said Shoby a close friend of Alkan. Shoby approached Alkan who was sleeping in the bed, then Shobi slept next to Alkan while staring at the wall of the room.
The bed that only fit one person makes Alkan and Shoby sleep on their backs to each other because if they are stretched, the mattress will not be enough for both of them.
"Shob...., do I sin if I refuse my parents' wishes? actually I did not want to refuse their request, but my heart was so difficult to accept Salimah, because my feelings for Salimah were only as my sister, nothing more than that, the same position as Arofah in my eyes, then whether I can marry the person I already consider a sister, I'm just afraid of hurting her later after we get married" said Alkan.
"If you want to reject Kyai Sharif and Nyai Fatimah's request, try not to hurt her feelings. I don't know what to give you because you're so much more knowledgeable than I am" Shoby said.
"Don't say that Shob, when it comes to science, I still have a lot to learn. I just need a best friend when I'm fucked up again" Alkan said.
