Words and Feelings
~You are very slow when spoken to about feelings, it has become a strong proof that Mr. Yusuf likes you.~

“Assalammualaikum.”
“Wa’alaikumussalam.” Answer Shasya and Khaira.
“Ngapain here?” Ask Khaira.
“Gue wants to pay to Mr. Danang.” Say Bayu, yes a man who comes to Shasya and Khaira is Bayu.
“Pamit?” Ask Shasya.
“Iya, I want to go back to the City. My parents' job is done.” Bayu.
“Oh that, Father is inside. Enter aja” said Shasya who got the nod from Bayu.
Bayu set foot leaving Shasya and Khaira on the terrace.
“Now, you have to tell me.” Said Khaira who reversed the topic of the conversation that piece earlier.
“I don't know either, Khai. Suddenly Mr. Yusuf asked me, whether in my heart there is already someone not.” Shasya.
“Hah? That's a great fix if Mr. Yusuf likes you.” Khaira said with excitement.
“What is it?”
“You are very slow when spoken to about feelings, it has become a strong proof that Mr. Yusuf likes you.”
“No way, Khai.”
All of a sudden..
“Gue turning, Assalammualaikum.” Saying Bayu was like an angry person and went straight away without hearing the salutations from Shasya and Khaira.
“Wa’alaikumussalam.”
“Did he hear everything?” Ask Khaira.
“Keep, what's the connection he heard all the same attitude he had earlier?” Ask Shasya.
“I think he's jealous, Sha.” Khaira said with a frown. While Shasya just stared strangely at Khaira who looked a little creepy.
The next day, Shasya and Khaira take a walk around the village.
“If I were told to choose between living here and in the City, I would definitely choose to stay here.” Khaira said while enjoying the cool morning breeze.
“I too. Here it is very cool, still beautiful and the inhabitants are also very friendly.” Shasya.
“Iya, Sha. Oh yes, the house of his Grandma Mr Yusuf which is it?” Ask Khaira.
“I don't know.”
“Loh, aren't you a native of here? How do you not know?” Ask Khaira.
“Yes, because I don't really want to know the people here. A lot of people suddenly called my name and I just replied. I only know the names of the residents here, not the pedigree.”
“You should know, your family is a respected person in this village.”
“Thank God, everyone knows my family. But if I have to remember it is difficult, because in this village it is not just one or two families.”
“Yes too, sih.” Khaira's remarks allowed Shasya's words.
Suddenly, there was a woman who looked younger than Shasya and Khaira, who came to them both.
“Assalammualaikum.” Greetings to the young lady.
“Wa’alaikumussalam.” Say Shasya and Khaira together.
“Mbak Shasya? Mr Danang's son?” Ask the young lady.
“Iya, right.” Shasya.
“Masya Allah is beautiful.” Said the young woman.
“Thanks.” Shasya said with a smile.
“Mbak Shasya, recognize my name Aisyah.” Said the young lady while advancing her hand to shake hands with Shasya.
“Masya Allah, beautiful name as the person.” Said Shasya while replying to Aisyah's hand.
“Thanks, Mbak.” Say Aisyah with a smile.
“That's who Mbak?” Ask Aisyah.
“This is my friend from the City. Known, his name is Khaira.” Shasya.
“Hai Ma'am Khaira.” Aisyah.
“Hai also Aisyah.” Khaira.
“Aisyah alone?” Ask Shasya.
“Ngak, Ma'am. I'm the same Grandma I.” Aisyah.
“Where are you?” Ask Khaira.
“Not that Mr Yusuf?” Asked Khaira who looked carefully towards the outskirts of the rice field.
“Mbak Khaira knows Mas Yusuf?” Ask Aisyah.
“Mas?” Ask Khaira.
“Iya, Mas Yusuf it's my Brother Mbak.” Aisyah.
“Oh gitu.” Khaira.
“Come on, we're there. Let me know Grandma.” Aisyah.
“Sorry, Deck. Not that Shasya Ma'am Khaira wouldn't. But, we go home to get ready to go back to the City again.” Shasya.
“Yah, just met Aisyah Mbak Shasya.” Said Aisyah who looked disappointed and lowered her head.
“You don't be sad. Later if Mbak Shasya has become a Bachelor, Mbak Shasya must come home here kok.” Said Shasya by hugging Aisyah like there was a bond between the two. As for Khaira, just stared at Shasya and Aisyah with amazement.
“Iya, Ma'am. Aisyah will wait for Mbak Shasya to come home here.” Said Aisha crying.
“Udah, don't cry. Later beautiful lost.” Temptation of Shasya that could make Aisyah smile.
********************
Time passed by so quickly, now that Shasya had been in his room alone.
Shasya stared fixedly at the same entire cabin no change. Shasya chose to sleep to rest her body.
The next day Shasya does his habit every morning. Because tomorrow he just entered the Campus, so Shasya chose to spend his time by reading the novel in his room.
At 9 am, there was a knock on the door that stopped reading Shasya.
“Assalammualaikum, Shasha.” Hail Khaira by knocking on Shasya's boarding door.
“Wa’alaikumussalam.” Shasya answered by opening the door.
“Sha, you should know the latest news.” Said Khaira who looked panicked.
“What news? I don't want to do anything, yes.” Said Shasya who walked into his hostel and was followed by Khaira.
“Kevin, Sha.” Khaira said dramatically.
“Kevin why?” Ask Shasya.
“Last night, Kevin came to my house. He said, if now he's already you’alaf.”
“Alhamdulillah, nice dong.”
“But Sha, I'm surprised by him. Yes, last night he blatantly talked to me, if he was you’alaf it was because of lo.”
“Hah? Because I?”
“Yes, he told me himself. He said so he could have lo. Because he had heard the talk of you and Bayu about why you do not accept Kevin when he shot you in front of friends. And one of them is because you guys are not in the same religion, right, Sha?”
“Yes, that's one of the reasons. But I also don't want to date. And you know if I don't feel anything like Kevin, I just think of him as a friend no more.” Shasya.
“Iya Sha, I know about it.”
“So, how should I? His intentions so you’alaf was wrong from the beginning.” Shasya.
“Include you to meet him, you tell me that what he is doing now is a mistake.”
“But, you have to accompany me.”
“Definitely. Let's go ahead.”
“To front?”
“Iya, because now he is in front of the boarding gate lo.”
“Hah? How can?” Shasya asked in shock.
“He was here with me, his intention was to take a meal. But if you both do not want to, so he ngajak me.” Khaira.
“Iya already, let's go ahead.”
Shasya and Khaira came out of the boarding house, towards the gate.
“Assalammualaikum.” Greetings Kevin.
“Wa’alaikumussalam.”
“Pasti lo already know yes?” Ask Kevin who got the nod from Shasya.
“Gue wants to talk to lo.” Shasya.
“Iya already, we go to Cafe aja.” Take Kevin.
“Good.” Shasya.
Shasya boards Khaira's car, while Kevin follows her from behind.
Arriving at the cafe, the three of them immediately ordered a drink.
“Direct keintinya aja, Kevin if you want to be mu’alaf it must be because of God not because of me. Indeed, now you love me, but no one can guarantee that forever you will love me. So, you have to change your intention if you really want to be mu’alaf.” Said Shasya who spoke at length, but did not want to look into Kevin's eyes. While Khaira just stared fixedly at Shasya and Kevin who seemed tense.
“Gue love same lo and it's for forever. This one proof of love to lo.” Said Kevin.
