The Cost of Trust

Open-air

Fai is tidying up his desk. He put his stuff in the rest of the teaching earlier. Now his mind is focused on the flat object on his desk. There was a doubt in his heart, would he really contact doctor Mika? Then, what does Doctor Mika want to talk about?

"Pak Fai!", said one office boy.

"Yes, why?" asked Fai.

"Again waiting for his future wife in front of the sir!", replied the office boy.

"Wife candidate?", asked Fai.

"Yes sir. I'm sorry Mr. Fai!", the office boy left the teacher's room.

"Well, Mr. Fai secretly has a candidate sir!", ledek one of the teachers.

"Sir Marno could have cheated on me, does anyone want to be with me sir?" said Fai humbled.

"If I have a daughter, I am a match for Mr. Fai. Unfortunately my boys are all hahahaha!"

"Sir Mar, it could be! Yes, I am first Mr. Mar."

"Please Mr Fai!"

Fai was carrying his bag on his shoulder that did not hurt. Right, mika is here. But, why did he have to say that he was his future wife at the office boy?

"Mas Fai!", mika stood grabbing Fai's bag.

"Eh, no need. It's not okay. It's the one that hurts here."

"Udah, it's okay. Mika bawain ya!"

Fai only resigned to Mika's treatment. They both headed to the car.

"Where do you eat? Let's have a casual conversation?", asked Mika.

"Actually I just had lunch, Dian gave me provisions."

Fai showed the blue Tupperware.

"Oh.!", only that remark came out of the pretty doctor's mouth.

"It's so good to Dian!", praise Mika. Fai only smiled at her smile.

The car is now on protocol road. Passed a few restaurants and cafes. But, it looks like Mika has no intention to stop.

"What do you want to eat, Mika?", asked Fai forcefully.

"I don't know. Confused!", answered mika while continuing to drive.

Now the car has entered the area that often Fai and Dian visited while still dating. In fact, in that place Fai decided to no longer continue his relationship with Dian.

"Mika, did you see that shop? That place was cozy enough to talk casually." Fai pointed at the place.

"Okay, we're going there!"

Mika parked her car not far from where they wanted to sit.

Fai came out first, headed for his favorite bench with Dian. Mika also followed by carrying her p3K box.

"Here the mas, the bandages are changed first!" said mika.

"No need for Mika!", said Fai. But mika kekeh took Fai's arm. Unlock his long-sleeved shirt.

Mika took off her bandage yesterday. That should have been changed this morning.

"It's over, right?!" said Mika as she ended her dressing.

"Thank you mika. You shouldn't have to be this good."

"Doing good time can't? Moreover, the same as her own future husband!", Mika glanced at Fai's round eye bead. This chick? Why is he so aggressive? Even today was his third day meeting this beautiful doctor.

"Mika...!", call Fai.

"We order food and drinks first?" said Mika.

"Yes!", replied Fai briefly.

"Mas..mas.!", mika waved her hand calling the servant.

A servant came to their table.

"Yes, what message?", asked the waiter.

"I'm lemon tea and fries only. What are you?", asked Mika.

It just so happens that what Fai wants to order is the same as what Mika ordered.

"Just like!", said Fai.

"Alright, please wait!", the waiter left their bench.

"What do you want to meet Mika?", asked Fai.

"Em..about our matchmaking!", said Mika confidently.

"Stupid?", asked Fai. Repeating the words he had been afraid of.

"Yes, last night you explained everything the same mika. What about Fai and Abah's family!"

"You... accept this match, even though we only know three today?", asked Fai trembling.

"Yes. Why aren't. Our families know each other. Long before we met yesterday."

"Please, ma'am!", said the waiter kindly.

"Thank you!", said Mika.

"Well! Brother Damar! Five years I've been chasing her. But heheheheheh he didn't bother me at all."

Mika sipped her drink. Stirring suction.

"Does that mean you're giving up now?" asked Fai again.

"Yes. I gave up mas. No matter how hard I try to get her heart, I still won't be able to get her. I don't know, maybe.he had someone in the past who still made his own up to this point."

Yes, Damar does have a heart only for Stevia, mica. We're fateful. The difference is, I was once a small part of Dian's past. As for you, you are not on the annals of the inhabitants of Damar's heart.

"You know mas? For the first time I've seen my brother laugh when he was with you yesterday?"

"really? He always acts a bitch with me or Aziz."

"yes, I'm just someone else. Don't know anything about my brother's damar."

"Then, why do you want to accept this match. You just don't know me? You've known Damar for years, but you don't know anything about him. Especially about me Mika?"

"Of course it's different. Our parents know each other. Abah can find out about me to papa. And vice versa, papa find out about you to Abah."

"Mica....!"

"Indeed, for now we may feel this is too hasty. Hurriedly. But.. as time goes by, we will get to know each other . Cool term, dating after marriage!"

"Married?", cried Fai. Is this girl proposing to me? Oh God, forgive me. Pekik Fai in the heart.

"You don't know anything about me yet Mika. I'm not as perfect as you think!"

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'll introduce myself a little. I'm Mikayla Hanum Al Umar Abdullah. I was twenty-nine years old. For the rest of my life, I never had a boyfriend. So..if we get married later, there will be no shadow of the past from my side!", Mika said casually.

Oh my God, this girl. Fai is still in.

"But I have a past!" said Fai.

"Mbak Diandra?", asked Mika.

"He's the same age as you Mika!"

"Owh..!", mika again drank lemon tea.

"Would you like to share your love story with Dian?"

"A part of it!"

"OKAY. I'll hear her!", mika confirmed her sitting position.

"I've been in a relationship with Dian for over three years. But, at that time, I was not ready to take it to a more serious level. At the same time, Abah asked me to go. With a heavy heart, I took Dian off. Until I finally found out, that Aziz, my own best friend, was married to her."

"Subhanallah! The soul mate is a mystery, the courtship is the same you married your best friend!"

"Yes, what do kids say now? Keep people's soul mates!", said Fai smiling.

Mas Fai handsome too, not inferior to Kak Damar. In fact.more handsome mas Fai. Oopss...Mika closed her own mouth.

"Why mika?", asked Fai.

"No mas. It's okay!", replied Mika.

"I had an argument with Aziz. I still don't accept the decision of the two of them to get married. I..feel...Aziz has cornered me. But, again Dian broke her . I'm the one who left Dian, a year since I decided on Dian, Aziz started to approach Dian. Until now I knew, there was absolutely no gap for me to enter Dian's heart again. I saw for myself, how they loved each other."

"But, now... Does your relationship look good?", asked Mika curiously.

"Of course, I'm just trying to be sincere Mika. Anyway, what can I expect? Instead of seeing our loved ones happy, is happiness for us?"

"You still love Dian?", asked Mika again.

"Maybe yes, maybe not."

"Why is that?", asked Mika.

"don't know. Do you want me to come home to Abah?", asked Fai.

"Of course!", mika excited.

"Mas...!", call mika.

"Thank you for giving us a chance to get to know each other!" Mika said.

"Yes. We're the future husband and wife!", Fai walked ahead of Mika.

What say? We're husband and wife candidates? That meant.....

"Mas Fai!", mika called Fai cheerfully.

*******

Ah...Fai is indeed a hobby of literacy, but this time hopefully Fai really moved on from Diandra!

Furthermore... after this, of course the excitement of Faith that will change the old status. From yesterday still focus on Aziz's friends. Let's be forgotten while 😝
