Tell Your Father I'm a Muslim
Love or Comfortable
The break time arrives. David stepped up from his seat. He was eager to take Maryam out to the cafeteria together, but he was still embarrassed, he saw Maryam sitting down and reading a thick book, and David finally left her.
On the way to the cafeteria, David tried to call Jardon.
”Hello, Jardon..” David said after Jardon picked up his phone.
”You’re not my best friend anymore, Dave! What for do you call me, huh? (You're not my friend anymore, Dave! Why'd you call me again, huh?)” answer Jardon ketus.
”Jardon, please, trust me! Maryam is not a terrorist. Even our teachers believe that she’s not, then why you guys do it? Oh come on, we’re all friends. Help me convince our other friends and ask them to come back to the class. (Jardon, please, trust me! Maryam is not *******. Even our teachers believe that he is not******, so why are you like that? Come on, we're all friends. Help me convince our other friends and ask them to go back to class.)” David Pinta.
”You why, Dave? You can just believe it, when you just saw it this morning. You don't know everything about that girl, do you? Oh My God, I'm sure you must be hypnotized by his face. Because of that girl's beauty you've changed your mind, is that it? As the saying goes, women can destroy the world. Hey, you remember, right, what
miss Violen said about the influence of women, Bill Clinton just destroyed because of women,”, Jardon assured David.
”Jardon, come on! Please, trust me! This is not like what you think. (Jardon, come! Please, trust me! It's not like you
kira)” David pleads.
”It looks like you're included in one of the 10 signs people fall in love in a book I've read. Love at the first sight. Is it right, Dave? (Love at first sight. Is that true, Dave?)” ask Jardon full of questions.
”Oh, come on, this is not about love. That’s silly! (Oh, come on, it's not about love. It's ridiculous!) I just saw the girl, where maybe I loved her right away. This is due to a belief, I am very sure he is not ******!” David tried to explain again.
”You're in love with her, Dave. Ask your heart. That's why you defended him,” said Jardon then turned off his phone suddenly.
”Jardon... ” Call David, the channel was cut off.
David was silent for a moment. He sat down on a park bench and tried to think of Jardon's words.
”Love? Is it? Am I really falling in love with her at the first sight? No.. No.. No.. Jardon doesn’t even know what my heart feels. He must be wrong. This is not a love. The Big N followed by the Big O. NO! (Love? Did ya? Did I really fall in love with her at first sight? No, Jardon doesn't even know what my heart is. He must be mistaken. This isn't love. No!)” David's words in his heart. He recalled the first time David had seen Mary's face. He tried
remembering his mood at the time.
”I remember.. The face was so brightly shining. I've never seen a face that glows like that. Even though I know Angel
is the prettiest girl in this school, but Anggel's face is not as bright as that girl's face.” His heart continued to murmur, trying to recall the events of that morning.
”I felt calm in class with that girl, never had I felt that calm. God, am I in love with that girl? I've really never felt this taste before in any girl. All this time I was always cold, but I was like I was changing, turning into another David. Is it possible that Jardon was right, that I was hypnotized by the girl until I just believed that she was not *******? I, right, don't know the girl well?” david asked in his heart, over and over again. He no longer cared about his heart. He then tried to get up from the park chair and walk to the school cafeteria. Once there he ordered food and a bottle of drink. After finishing his food and drinks he went back to class.
In class, he saw Maryam still sitting on her stool reading the thick book.
”Wait...wait, I care about him and worry about him? No, Jardon is right, this seed of love does exist,” David thought.
David ran straight to the cafeteria. He ordered food and a bottle of cold miniman, then took the food and drinks to class.
”You must be starving. Here are for you. Have them! (You must be hungry. Here's toyou. Eat!)” Bargain David while prodding
food and drink in his hands. She's a little nervous. Maryam was a little surprised at David's sudden kindness.
”Sorry, I am fasting,” said Maryam trying to explain.
”Fasting? You mean, no food no drink? (Fasting? You mean, don't eat no drink?)” david asked still not understanding about fasting.
”Yes!” Answer Maryam.
”Okey, you may keep them, then (OK, you can save it). There must be a time, right, you can eat and drink again?” david's Pinta to Maryam.
Maryam nodded then took the food and drink that David offered.
”Thank you,” answered Maryam with a smile.
David looks wrong. He was confused to say especially to start another conversation with Maryam, and finally he gave up, then sat back on his stool. While Maryam was so amazed at the kindness of David. Only then did he feel a man's kindness towards her. The next lesson has begun again, they are silent to each other pay attention to the material taught by the teacher in front of the class. Long lesson at that time. Then, the long-awaited moment finally arrived as well, the clock back home from school.
Maryam packed her books and left class, while David followed her from behind. He was still curious about the Muslim woman. He never managed to communicate with her again, either because he did not know where to start or because there was something different, but since
the first meeting in the schoolyard this morning, there was something David felt. For the first time in his life, David felt a face
Maryam is like a magnet and she is like a metal that does not want to escape from the magnet. In the end, David confirmed Jardon's remarks over the phone. Ah, David felt this girl was indeed an******, but******** that hypnotized her thoughts and feelings to always remember her face. During his time at the prestigious school, David never felt like this. Even Anggel, a classmate who is famous by the nickname The next Miss World, he never ignored.
Dry leaves fall along the sidewalk to the bus stop. New York City is so warm this afternoon. Maryam walked down towards the stop. The veil fluttered in the wind which also blew away the dry leaves that littered the sidewalk. While David, he walked while pushing his bike behind Maryam. He was still curious about Mary. He still hopes to talk to her again. That is why he did not pedal his bicycle, but led it and followed Mary.
