The Heart You Sick

The Heart You Sick
A Day Without Albert



Today Fatimah works as usual, but not as usual. Something is missing, something is lacking.


There was no chocolate, no flowers and no message Albert always sent to him. Usually he always felt uncomfortable because Albert always sent a short message to him every hour.


But this time, his phone felt very quiet. No messages were sent, only messages from the operator.


"Damahhh!" Fatimah seemed to be breathing heavily.


Again he continued his work, occasionally checking his phone. Every now and then he looked towards the entrance, hoping that what Albert said was a lie.


Unfortunately until the afternoon, Albert did not go there. Only the visitors came to change.


"It turns out he really proved his point" said Fatimah.


After saying so, Fatimah immediately decided to return to Aby's house.


At Aby's house, Fatimah went straight into her room. He immediately threw his body on the mattress, he looked at the ceiling of the room while thinking about the man he had not seen all day.


"Oh my God, just one day not to meet feels missed." Fatimah closed her eyes and imagined Albert's face.


He smiled and chuckled when remembering the silliness that Albert often did just to please him, comforting his condolences.


"Astagfirullah, does this mean I've really fallen in love with her? Does this mean he's the soul mate God sent me?"


Fatimah immediately sat down and rubbed her face, so she thought if she had to pray istikharah back to find the answer with certainty.


Sure enough, Fatimah woke up at three o'clock tonight. Fatimah got up and took the water. Then he also performed the tahajud prayer, after which he performed the istikharah prayer again.


He wanted to steady his heart, he wanted to ask for his pointers. After the prayer did not forget Fatimah also returned to pray to Allah.


"O Allah, forgive me all my sins. I again ask for guidance from you, O God. If indeed Albert is indeed the soul mate you sent me, unite us in marriage. If Albert wasn't my match, keep him away from me so no one would get hurt between us. Aamiin," do'a Fatimah.


After the prayer, Fatimah read the holy verse of the Quran until dawn and after the dawn prayer she did not sleep as yesterday morning.


However, he immediately did sports so that his body felt fitter. Every day that's what Fatimah does, if she feels bored because Albert didn't meet her. He will look for activities by going to the park or anywhere that makes him feel calmer.


A week later, Fatimah decided to go to the park after returning from Aby's Caffe.


Not to forget he also asked permission first to Aby, Abi also allowed. Although at first he felt heavy-hearted, because it was too late in the afternoon.


But Fatimah managed to convince Aby, if she could take care of herself. Inevitably Aby also allowed Fatimah to leave


"Go, Brother. Take good care of yourself, if there's anything call me immediately." Aby rubbed Fatimah's arm gently.


"Yes, my sister, honey. You must take care of yourself" said Fatimah.


After getting permission from Aby, Fatimah went straight to the park not far from Aby's Caffe.


Fatimah even walked to get to the park, because she thought it would be more fun.


Arriving at the park, he immediately sat down while looking at the children playing together with his parents.


Fatimah's heart warmed, she wanted the same thing. She wants to go home and have beautiful sons and daughters.


"Al, if we get married I want to have a child like that" Fatimah muttered unknowingly.


That afternoon Fatimah's smile never receded, she felt very happy to see the children playing back and forth and there.


He was also entertained by the activities of the teenagers who skateboard there, there was also a group of teenagers who play games together there.


It feels like it can make Fatimah feel very happy, until she unknowingly saw her cellphone which turned out to be the time it showed at 6 pm.


When the magrib prayer had arrived, Fatimah decided to leave immediately. He walked quickly out of the park, as he had to find a taxi in order to get back home quickly.


Arriving at the side of the road, suddenly there was a group of drunk people who approached Fatimah. They immediately surrounded Fatimah, Fatimah looked very frightened.


"Hi, Pretty. Why are the nails covered like that?" ask a man.


"It should be opened, let it look more beautiful." One man came forward and pulled the coat that Fatimah was wearing.


"Don't!" exciting Fatimah.


Hearing Fatimah's cry, the group of men immediately laughed out loud. What else when he saw the frightened Fatimah while hugging her own body tightly, making a group of men more eager to prank Fatimah.


"Follow us yu, Beautiful."


One man came forward he was about to pull Fatimah's body, but from behind suddenly there were three men of great stature directly hit the group of men.


Fatimah immediately crouched down while holding her head, she was so frightened. Before long a man immediately lifted Fatimah's body and took her away from there.


Fatimah looks thrashed and asks to be released, she is afraid that she will not survive this time.


"Let go, please don't hurt me" said Fatimah.


"Ra, don't be so rich. Later we can fall together, can you please diem."


Hearing the familiar voice, Fatimah opened her eyes. When Albert's face was what he saw, he immediately hugged Albert tightly and hid his face in the recess of his neck.


"Al!"


Between sadness and happiness, that is what Fatimah feels right now. He immediately cried as he pleased, Albert immediately brought Fatimah into his car.


He occupied Fatimah very carefully, he was afraid of hurting his woman. Albert sat down next to Fatimah.


"Road, Sir!" albert said full of tone of command.


"Ready, Mister," replied the driver.


The car then drove towards the Aby residence, Albert looked at Fatimah and stroked Fatimah's shoulders gently.


He tried to calm the heart of his woman, getting a touch from Albert Fatimah directly looked at Albert very closely.


Then, without Albert guessing, Fatimah immediately hugged Albert very tightly.


"Thank you, Al. Thank you for saving me" Fatimah smiled but her tears still flowed.
