Arumi sits alone on a park bench, she laments the fate of the recently fired from her job. I don't know what was wrong with the girl, so she had to be removed by the store owner. As he was daydreaming, a pat on the shoulder shocked him. Arumi turned her head, and how surprised she was when she found out who was behind her.
"M—mas Ahmad," the girl looked at Ahamd with sadness.
Ahmad was sitting next to Arumi, he glanced at the girl for a moment then smiled at her. "Why are you daydreaming here?"
Arumi looked down, and a heavy sigh came out of her mouth. "I just got fired from the store."
Ahmad surprised. "What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know, just let it go. I assume that if it wasn't my sustenance, maybe God was giving me endless trials for vengeance from my dark past."
The handsome man was interested in this topic of conversation, he started to ask Arumi questions about the past.
"What's going on, Arumi? All men have a past, when you intend to repent, then rest assured that at that time God has washed away all your wrongs and forgiven you. No man is spared from error and error."
Arumi smiled faintly, she started telling Ahmad about her past. This is not the first time, but the second time he has told me about all the mistakes in his past.
'Mas, if you don't remember me at all, then fine. I will start everything from the beginning, and make you fall back in love with me.' Arumi's mind while looking at Ahmad.
After finishing the story and determined in his heart, Arumi finally resigned. However, his steps were prevented by Ahmad so that the girl stopped her path.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I take you home? Didn't Ahmad usually take you away and go home to work?"
Arumi frowned in astonishment at the words of the man in front of her. "Mas, you're Ahmad. Then?"
Ahmad condemned his stupidity, he tried to be ordinary and find an excuse so that Arumi did not misunderstand the words he said just now.
"Em, I mean, Ahmad is me. Yes, I wanted to say myself but I was wrong and Ahmad was so." said the man confused, he prayed that Arumi would not misunderstand.
The girl nodded her head, she understood what Ahmad meant. "Alright, then let's take me home" she smiled sweetly.
****
Next day.
Arumi woke up today because she didn't work today. Yeah, he's going back to looking for a job to meet all his needs. And this time, he had to go alone without the company of Ahmad who was always beside him.
A few hours later, the girl had finished preparing. He was wearing ordinary clothes, a shirt and jeans. Very beautiful and simple appearance, Arumi intends to apply for a job at a restaurant, cafe, or clothing store. He walked towards the door, but his heart almost fell out when the door opened perfectly.
"Astaghfirullah, Mas Ahmad!" peekkik Arumi while holding his chest.
Ahmad only chuckled softly without any guilt. "Good morning, Arumi. Are you surprised?" ask him while raising his eyebrows.
"Not surprised anymore, Mom! But my heart almost jumped out of its place, you wanted to make me die, huh?" oceh Arumi made Ahmad laugh again, he did not expect that Arumi was that chatty.
"Why are you now turning into a nag, hm?"
Arumi stuttered, she shook her head then immediately closed the door and locked it from the outside. The girl stepped away leaving Ahmad who was quietly pecking at his place.
"Arumi, wait!" the man chased after Arumi who was already a little away from home.
