The End of Hope

73 Eps. Only Similar

Naya listens to all the stories from Dinda about how her mother and sister are doing. Again, Naya remembered with Aras who used to move her job, so her mother had to come with her to take care of her son who had phobia.

'Is this just a similar story or is Mr Ares Dinda's sister?'

Naya furrowed her brows thinking, as she remembered when Naya used to play with Dinda at her house, she had never seen a boy living with the family. Naya breathed a sigh of relief then muttered, "no, not her, this is just a similar story."

After ending their conversation, Naya let go of Dinda by waving her hand. He returned home after Dinda's car had moved away from there. He went back to his room to clean up and rest while checking some messages or anything from his phone. Waiting for Maghrib to arrive.

Sure enough, he received many incoming messages, from his best friend Farah who asked where he was now, from his father and Nuriya who asked about his efforts, from Ms. Nha, from her, even from Nia and Sarita there are.

Naya smiles at all the messages she receives from people who love her. Allah loves His servants more than their parents, Naya thought. And the people who send her messages may represent affection for her.

'Subhannallah. Alhamdulillah's'

Naya answered the message one by one with a happy heart even she smiled to herself when she got a funny answer from them. Of course, some of them ask about their hearts and feelings. Naya only answered poetically that they did not understand.

"Some are so afraid to begin because they have been hurt so deeply, some never get tired of praying even though they do not know when their do'a-do' will be granted, some never get tired of longing even though they do not know when they will be met. So the point is everything will come when it's time."

Sometimes God has prepared the best for a servant in the right way and at the right time according to Him. It was written before anyone was born. God has made a covenant with man, that one will experience this life and so, will be given this kind of sustenance and That, will marry and have a partner like this and so, he said, then died with this age and that, then the man was able to cope and then was born.

That is why every believer is encouraged to pray a lot as a way to help the good of life that must be lived.

Just now that Naya sent her reply to Farah, she received a call from an unknown number. When Naya heard the voice across the phone was a woman's voice, Naya was relieved.

"Is this really the owner of the boarding room on the road of Memories?"

"Right, are you interested?" sahut Naya's.

"Yes, I'm already here, in the courtyard of the house," said the voice again.

'What, already here? Astagfirullah, I thought only nego'

Hearing what the woman across the phone said, Naya turned off her phone and immediately grabbed her veil. He quickly opened the door and left the house.

In the courtyard of the house, he saw a mature woman with a quite charming appearance and beautiful, neatly arranged shoulder-length curls, the woman was impressed gracefully with a dress that was attached very well to her body, which was very fitting, the color of the clothes is striking and the makeup is quite interesting. The woman was carrying two suitcases and one large bag and one small bag of matching color was placed on her shoulder.

Naya smiled, she immediately rushed over to the woman and extended her hand, welcoming the woman kindly.

"Sorry, with whom?" naya said softly.

The woman welcomed Naya's hand, saying, "i am Farida, just call Ida." silent for a moment, she spread her gaze, looking around Naya's house.

"I, Naya." said Naya, releasing her hand.

Then the woman again asked, "what is it that Naya owns this house?"

"Yes," Naya replied as she nodded.

Naya lets Ida in. Naya asks Ida to take a look first, looking at the rented room.

"If you are interested in staying here, please choose any room. It just so happened that Ida was the first one" Naya said.

The woman followed Naya with her bag and suitcase while Naya brought another suitcase.then the woman looked around and she chose the room next to Naya's room. He put all his bags and suitcases in there. After that they talked about prices and other agreements and also the rules desired by Naya, including not to accept non-muhrim men into her living room. Can only be on the terrace. After agreeing on everything, Naya gave her the keys to her room.

"Sir Ida, I don't have a duplicate key, so all the business about my room is not responsible" said Naya.

Ida nodded her head in agreement, then the woman decided to rest and thanked Naya. It looks like he's very tired.

Naya is very grateful, she now has a friend in her house. Although Naya is not a timid person, but still having a friend in her house, it would be much better than staying alone. In addition, he can protect himself from unwanted things.

Naya hesitates to see the new occupants of her boarding room, judging that Ida is no ordinary woman. From the clothes, jewelry and items she carried she looked like an established and well-established woman. Naya does not ask about Ida's personal affairs, questioning things like, why should she stay at her boarding house, is it possible that she only works temporarily or contract employees like Rama?

Naya is not prejudiced because prejudice is bad and good prejudice is always good. Wherever suuzdon (bad prejudices) and khusnudzon (good prejudices) will always be different. Bad prejudice will bring gloomy feelings, while good prejudice will bring a feeling of calm.

Until nightfall, Naya had awoken to hear a strange voice for her outside her room. With eyes still sleepy from just waking up from sleep, Naya opened the door slowly to see what was happening. Naya was astonished for a moment to see Ida was making a phone call with someone. From the way he spoke, Ida seemed familiar, even intimate. The woman spoke while walking back and forth between her living room and her room.

Naya looked at the wall clock in her room and she furrowed her eyebrows.

'Oh my God, it's almost midnight but Ida's still calling'

But because of sleepy Naya continued her sleep, tomorrow morning she must immediately start her activities as usual.

Naya meets Rama while Rama is having lunch in his office cafeteria. The time they use to talk is not much, that is, as long as Rama waits for his order, when the atmosphere in the cafeteria is very much as usual.

Naya just said, "Rama, now that I have friends, someone has rented my room. Thank you, all for your help. Thank God, so I have friends now."

Rama glanced at Naya, then looked at her food and said, "Oh yeah, who is she?"

Naya sighed in hearing Rama's question. And answer her honestly, "beautiful, very pretty."

Naya gave Rama a drink and said, "do not make sense of yourself if you are busy, do not have to go there too. Moreover, just want to know what a beautiful person is not." replied Naya sniffled and pouted.

Seeing Naya pout Rama laughed and left Naya and enjoyed her meal, along with her friends at a table.

"cave, that girl, who's elo? I think you are very familiar with girls" said one of Rama's friends.

"Heh, look out for him if you tease him. She's my thuggish widow.. You don't know!" rama replied calmly.

"Cih, where do I know. That's elo's business! How about gini day lo mau macarin dowager. He, Rama. open your eyes, who has not married yet!"

"That people's feelings can be regulated, right? It's good to set the feeling of the cave. Well the cave demenya ama she wants what lo, ha?"

All of them who were at that one table laughed while enjoying the food.

"Lo want not to bet, Rama can not dapetin tuh chick?" said one of Rama's other friends.

"Make what maen bets everything. She doesn't want to find a husband anymore, let alone a boyfriend. Dizziness me too. Though I haven't liked girls for a long time, now there's a girl I like, uh, she doesn't like me!"

"Yes...!" there were boisterous sounds from some of the men on that one table, they exclaimed loudly.

"Love clapped her hands together? Her pain is right here, Kasian.eat lo, Ram!" said Rama's friend while pointing at his chest.

"Not only eat ati, the heart is as good as abisin cave!"

"Hahaha.." there were loud laughter again from some of the men.

"Lo on nertawain his own friend, fucked up! laughing over my love rejection, lo?" rama said annoyed he immediately left. Sorry to have spoken to his friends, "gue unplug first!"

"Eh, Rama is angry, elo!" said another friend.

"Belvin. Consider it a fart."

"Haha...!" again there was a loud sound of laughter. But everything around me doesn't really care because jokes and laughter are so common at lunch like this.

Rama has loved Naya ever since their meeting on the train. Ssat sees Naya crying as soon as the train starts to run, as evoking a desire to protect and love her. Especially after seeing Naya's face that was so soothing to the eyes, making her fall in love even more. He does not know if this is love because of**** or not. All he knew was that different feelings just appeared after a long time.

But she did not expect that Naya was a woman who separated from her husband and she did not know why Naya did not want to get married again, even impressed very much to keep herself from men. Until now Rama still keep his feelings and do not force his will. He appreciates Naya for who she is. Being a friend and being able to help Naya was enough for her. True love is unselfish love, right?

"The love of a man will be halved if he has succeeded in having the woman he likes. That's a fact, based on the research of an overseas household expert there," Naya said one time as they chatted.

"Ahk, I will keep my love intact if I meet the woman of my choice." said Rama.

"Aamiin," Naya replied, smiling, "usually if women are so, they tend to care for and maintain their love."

"But usually too, men will be smarter to ignore the shortcomings of a partner than women who always see the shortcomings of their partner."

That's a little bit of the difference in love in men and women. God created man to complement each other. Allah has overstated a group of men to cover up the shortcomings of other men.

"Eh, I've had experience. He said he's not married?"

"Had been dating, haha."

"He, the courtship can't."

"Yes, now I know. That's why I want to marry you."

"Find a better woman than me. I'm not ready for that."

'And never will be ready'

It was already late afternoon when Naya waited for the public transport that would take her to the market, Naya intended to shop today after work. As he stood on the sidewalk, he heard the sound of a child crying not far from where he was standing, Naya turned towards the parking lot in front of the office building where Naya worked.

Naya was about to step in to make sure the voice she heard was a human voice or perhaps someone who needed help. Up there, Naya saw a little boy who was crouching while crying he was sulking. His parents were there persuading him. At that time the faces of the small family were not visible because they were in a position to turn their backs on Naya.

Deg. Naya's heart beat faster when she saw a child she knew all along and accidentally always crossed Naya's mind.

'Joni? Why does that kid look like Yoni? If it is true that Yoni and Mr. Ares, it means Mr. Ares is married. Alhamdulillahot. But why is he here. Is this office also his new office?'

Naya returned to her original place, stood up briefly and stopped the public transport that happened to pass by. He brought all the curiosity with him to the market.

While someone saw a shadow of Naya with sharp furrowed eyebrows from the glass window of her car. Naya had just gotten into the public transport when the man behind the wheel saw her.

"Be a good boy if you want to meet your old appointment!" the man said to the little boy sitting behind him.

"Who do you mean?" said a beautiful woman sitting next to him.

"You don't need to know!"
