This morning Shofia and Nur were out of the cabin. They were buying textbooks as well as shopping for necessities while in the cottage.
After getting the wanted, they decided to pray Dhuhur in Al-Ikhlas mosque. Shofia was waiting for Nur on the porch because he was idle.
"Hi Shof's. Alone." the voice startled Shofia who was reading the book she had bought.
"Assalaamu'alaikum gus." said Shofia when he found out that Gus Zakaria was greeting him.
"Wa'alaikum hail Shofia. Looks like we're really Shof's soul mate. So far you've gone and we've met here" Zakaria said.
"It's just a coincidence Gus."
"There is no coincidence in this world Shof. Everything is predestined by God. And now we're destined to meet here."
"Yes Gus."
"Yes! It means you admit that we are partners" said Zakaria, clenching her hand into the air.
"Sorry Gus, that's not what I mean."
"So you don't want to be fooled by me?"
"It's not like that Gus."
"Then?"
"If it is predestined by God, we cannot refuse."
"And I will never refuse. I'm so happy to be able to make a fool of you."
"Gus even our age is still a dozen already talking soul mate all." Shofia pouting. Zakaria is getting more and more excited about teasing Shofia. He kept talking about the problem.
"Already Gus. Why do you like to make me angry."
"And I told you that your pouting is getting adorable."
"That's enough. Excuse me." Shofia immediately tidied up her things. Zakaria smiled at Shofia's behavior which she thought was very funny. Several times his goods fell because so many items he had difficulty carrying them.
"If you're having trouble, you should say the same to me. I'll be happy to help you." Zacharias tried to reach Shofia's shop.
"Don't!" shofia reflex's hand hit Zakaria's hand slowly. "Sorry Gus. Not intentionally."more aware of his treatment.
"I'm sorry on one condition." Shofia squinted her eyes.
'when the blow didn't hurt at all. I just love to tease her.' Inner Zachary
"What terms?"
"You're saying you want me to anterin back to the cabin."
"No, thank you."
"I'm not going to forgive you"
"I know my punch didn't hurt."
"It doesn't hurt. But I'm a little hurt from being hit by a woman."
"It's okay. Just so you want me to take you with me."
"No!"
"Antar!"
"No!"
"Antar!"
"Sucks." Zakaria smiled as she managed to tease Shofia. Now Shofia has surrendered. He sat back in silence while listening to the person next to him continue talking. Face bent. Lips pouting. It made Zakaria continue to develop her smile.
Not long after coming. He was astonished to learn that there was a man sitting not far from his best friend and saw the two as if they were arguing.
When Nur approached, he was shocked to learn who was sitting with his best friend. He smiled hearing the debate between Zakaria and shofia.
"Come Shof. This time I'm taking it."
"Guses. I'm not here alone."
"I've brought you guys."
"no need. I don't want to bother"
"Not troublesome at all. I'll take you and your friend."
"Later he thinks we're the ones messing around"
"Leave it. Just one of a kind. How about you."
"Sh Gus! Why the hell are you always so annoying!"
"Ehem" deheman Nur made Zakaria stop the action. Shofia was nervous as if she was caught off guard.
"Assalaamu'alaikum Gus." said Nur.
"Wa'alaikum salutations."
"Let's go home Nur." take Shofia immediately to clean up her things.
"Can I send you?"
"No thanks" Shofia replied.
"By Gus." answered Nur.
"Nur we can go home alone." Shofia refused
"Why go home alone. Gus Zakaria has offered us a ride."
And this is where Shofia is now. Sitting sweetly behind the steering wheel. Zakaria smiled behind the wheel while glancing from the rearview mirror.
Nur looked at the face of his best friend sitting next to him. He looks really upset. It was very different from before he left it for the prayer earlier.
Nur then observed Zakaria who looked smiling. Now he realized there was something between the two.
