Happy reading ....

The charm tonight is very pampering for the eyes. A perfectly round moon with scattered stars adorns it.
The roar of vehicles in the distance does not necessarily reduce the cold of the night. Even a purposely lit cigarette cannot warm a Ghaisan's night.
Ghaisan let the night wind sweep his face and made his earlobes seem to freeze, as well as the tip of his nose. Right now, he was leaning against the outer wall of the Adisurya residence gate.
Ghaisan smoked a strong cigarette between his two fingers. Hoping that what was stifling his chest would be carried away by the smoke and just disappear in the air.
Sometimes he looked at the big house behind him. Inside there, there was a beautiful girl who became his soulmate. Ghaisan was bowed deeply, as if wanting to temper the erratic taste in his heart.
Once home, Ghaisan was surprised by the simple welcome of his mother. Dinner with Ghaisan's favorite menu, as well as many other menus that are rarely served at the table. Not only is there a mother and also her aunt, in her house there is also one of Rika's friends complete with their husband and daughter. Despite not knowing personally, Ghaisan knew his mother's friend's daughter was Angel, a student who had been the target of Raka, his best friend.
Initially, Ghaisan thought the dinner was intended for Rika's family. In order to appreciate the guests, the reluctant Ghaisan ended up eating too.
How surprised Ghaisan was, when in the middle of their conversation, Angel and Rika's mother discussed the engagement which she said would be held on the weekend. And most unreasonably, Angel will come with him when he returns to New York and settles in his residence.
It's a crazy decision that doesn't even exist in the shadow of Ghaisan. There was a long debate between Ghaisan and his mother after the return of the guests from their home. However, Ghaisan was in a dilemma whenever the mother showed sadness on her face. Various reasons expressed Rika only to bind the son.
"Agas has a girlfriend, Ma. Seriously with him." He spoke in the middle of their debate.
"But mama wants you to marry Angel, honey. Angel's father was a close friend of your father's. Mama still remembers well, papa used to say, 'my manpita' every time he met Angel while still on duty in the city of J. You remember that? The girl who loved to take you back then, yes Angel. Please, Honey. Mama only has you. Mama expects a lot from you. Is that wrong?"
"But, Ma. This is a matter of the heart. I can't."
Ghaisan felt an overwhelming dilemma. The look on his mother's face looks very sad and honestly he feels guilty and heartless.
"Agas talked about it first with Angel, Ma. Couldn't Angel have a boyfriend like Ghaisan?" Ghaisan tried to give.
Ghaisan was quite confident. The reason, according to Raka, Angel likes other men until he could not accept Raka's invitation to date at that time.
Ghaisan turned to the front of the Adisurya family home. He was determined to maintain his love and happiness with the lover who was sleeping in one of the rooms in there.

*Love pairs walk in silence with slow steps. The woman was pampered in her man's arm and they looked happy. Every now and then their gazes collide, from the gaze that is implied the very love of the two.
Suddenly a hand pulled the woman. The hand kept him away from the man. In his quest to regain his love, a woman took the man and took him by.
The man walked while looking at his lover. The glare of her sad eyes represented her heart of gloom. It continued like that, until his figure disappeared in the darkness.*
Annisa nodded from her sleep. In the dream, he felt sad until he unconsciously had tears dripping.
"Astagfirullah. Why would I dream of Agas like that?" he murmured while rubbing the liquid at the end of his eyes. Shortly thereafter, a dawn azan rang out. Annisa got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
After the prayer, Annisa opened the window. There was a distinct feeling in his heart that was hard to decipher. Annisa turned around to pick up her phone. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he called Ghaisan.
"Not active? What else is in cas?" annisa Mummets.
"Ah, stop. Maybe I'm overreacting. This must be because of the dream earlier," Annisa added while putting down her phone.
Annisa was about to stand up when suddenly her phone rang. Isti's pretty face was seen on her cell phone call. Annisa lifted him up while lying on the bed.
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
Annisa frowned in surprise at Isti's raucous voice.
"You're okay, right?" ask Annisa.
"Nisa," said Isti lirih and then sobbed. Annisa was surprised and immediately asked what happened.
Annisa was stunned to hear Isti's words very slowly. To be honest, he confirmed the attitude of Isti's father. However, it is also impossible if he has to corner Isti by advising him. Because Isti himself has realized the location of his mistake.
"Don't tell me the same, Ray. I don't want him to feel guilty. I'm telling you this because you're the only one I can talk to." Said slowly.
"OKAY. Inshallah yes. How is next? You're moving out? Don't dong, Isti."
"I don't know, Nis. I don't want to move either. Maybe I'll break up with Ray."
"There's no other choice. Confused as well," Annisa said.
"I'm backing off slowly, Nis. Avoid, until Brother Ray gets bored of himself."
Annisa could feel what her best friend was feeling. But Annisa also could not bear if Rayhan was not given certainty.
"Isti, is it not better to talk to Brother Ehan? Let's clear. If you break up, break up. Don't hang his brother Ehan, "proposed Annisa.
"I don't want to break up with Ray, Nis."
Annisa scratched her head which was indeed itchy. If it is like this, he is confused what to give advice.
"It's up to you. How good it is. Every decision has consequences. But honestly, I agree with your abi. Sorry yes, Isti. I didn't mean to corner you. Because maybe I myself can't necessarily stay away from things like that. Because anyway, if it's the same boyfriend, many demons, hehe."
"Yes, Nis. I-i understand. I just wanted to say thank you. I am more and more convinced of my decision. Umi once said, a good friend, is what can remind us of kindness. Not friends who support our mistakes just because they want to be called loyal friends. Thank you, Nis. Please don't tell me anything about Ray. Because I don't want to regret my decision and load abi disappointed again. It was just the first."
"But you didn't move, did you?" ask Annisa.
"Powerful. Another year's liabilities."
"Thankful deh. We're still best friends, right?"
"Yes dong, definitely."
"OKAY. Calm yourself yes. If Brother Ehan is your soul mate, it must be reunited at the right time. But if not, there will be the best match for you later. Don't be sad. Sure enough, everything will be beautiful in time," entertain Annisa.
"Yes, Nis. Yes, assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullah," concluded Annisa.
Annisa pondered what she had just heard from Isti. Is that dream a signal for Isti and Rayhan's relationship?
"But in my dream, there was another girl. And it was clearly Agas. Aaah, what the hell? It's just a dream" Annisa said monologetically scratching the nape of her neck.
Annisa also passed out of her room to enjoy the morning atmosphere while helping Bi Susi water the plants.
