The Left Behind Story

21 ~ Feeling Jealous

The following days, Fadil regularly sent breakfast to the Dewi apartment but unfortunately, the girl never touched the gift of Fadil. Najla himself did not dare to touch the food because he remembered the words of the Goddess at that time.

“At my residence there are still those who believe in the science of mercy. What if the verse is read to the food and the food is eaten by the person who is intended to eat the person will be bound by his heart and mind with the reader of the verse earlier.” Dewi said using Malay for some vocabulary suapa makes it easier for Najla to understand.

From then on, let alone asking, peeking never again. Dewi and Najla compact give the food to the wild cats outside the apartment.

In Indonesia…

Ayi was a little surprised when she found that her former friend was already standing in front of the house after greeting her. Eva smiled, “Sorry that my arrival bothered you.” Ayi sighed then asked Eva to come in. They were sitting in the living room, Ayi's parents were in the back with her sister.

“Are you still mad at me?” Ayi looked at Eva annoyed.

“Considered? We are friends but why would you hurt the Goddess? Is she wrong with you?”

“Yi, all these events are not entirely my fault. I love Fadil and he also approached the Goddess. Where is my fault? I'm jealous and angry because of the Goddess, Fadil so go away from me.”

“That's wrong with you. Know why? Because from the first you hide your relationship. If Dewi knows or you introduce her to us, of course Dewi will not give a gap for Fadil to approach her. And I'm also sure that if Fadil knew that the Goddess was your best friend, he would definitely not invite the Goddess out. Does not rule out the possibility that Fadil actually approached another girl. You know for yourself that Fadil is unfaithful. If Dewi is evil, she could have cheated on Fadil without your knowledge.” Long lebr.

“So do you hate me too?” ask Eva lirih.

“Come, Va. I'm dreaming that all this really happened in our friendship.”

“Yi, I know I'm wrong with the Goddess but I'm the same you what? I was wrong for betraying our friendship but I wasn't completely wrong either and I'm just like you as I am Rani. We have no problem but why do you hate me. I met Rani yesterday and she still thinks I'm a friend. He forgave me too. Don't you want to be friends with me anymore?”

The mother of Ayi came to bring drinks for them, “Iya, Yi. It's not good to be hostile let alone you ever be friends.”

Ayi sighed, “I've forgiven you kok.” Say Ayi.

“But it doesn't sound sincere huh?” sindir the mother. Ayi looked at Eva then said, “I did forgive you but not for being in a relationship like before. Sorry, Va. I find it hard to get close to people I already know the ugliness.”

Eva sighed softly, “Ya already then. I go first.” Eva tells Ayi's mother and leaves the house.

There was no mysterious photo this time because Eva had come there just to be sure of something. After that, Eva went to the inter-city bus terminal. The girl smiled and closed her eyes during the trip. He can't wait to surprise me.

While in a boarding school, Fiqi was busy teaching without knowing if at home there was an important meeting.

His parents received a guest who was an important figure and they respected a lot. The important guest is a couple of married pesantren owner where Fiqi studied before graduation and continued his education S1 to Cairo.

“Bah, it is an honor for us because Abah would like to visit our simple house.” Saying Father of Fiqi.

The old man smiled with his wife, “Bapak, Mother, our arrival here is actually a noble purpose. We would like to apply for Fiqi for our daughter who will graduate in Cairo in the near future.”

“God, we did not expect to hear this good news from Abah. We are very happy and agree but Abah has to ask Fiqi directly because all of our decisions are left to him. Honestly, if in our opinion as parents, we certainly strongly agree and accept, but it all goes back to Fiqi.”

“Alright then, I will convey directly to Fiqi about my proposal. Actually I had intended to convey directly to Fiqi but considering he still has parents then I chose to visit first to Mr and Mother.” Abah said politely.

The conversation about the proposal was over and the couple was ready to go home. Fiqi's parents massaged their chests almost in disbelief at what they had just heard.

“Pak, I'm very happy if we reply with Abah. We follow the respect of people after knowing that we besan Abah.”

“Iya, Buk. My father thought so too. Not to mention at the reception. There must have been many important guests including the officials who came. We must persuade Fiqi to accept the proposal.” The couple nodded at the door waiting for Fiqi to come home.

While the waiting is actually reciprocating a message with the lover in the neighboring country. Fiqi instantly sent a message as usual to the Goddess after finishing teaching. Routine activities that he never neglected because this was the only way to maintain their long distance relationship.

“How to lecture, Ukhti?”

“Alhmdulillah smoothly, Akhi. It's just that Ukhti got bored a long time here. Ukhti longs home.”

“Sabar, Ukhti. What Ukhti feels today is a form of struggle and will bear sweet fruit after success later. Just like Akhi used to be. Does anything make Ukhti restless or uncomfortable there?”

Degs…

“Should I be honest and tell him about Fadil? But what if Akhi gets overwhelmed with this problem?” inner Goddess.

“Ukhti, why not reply? Busy huh?” Dewi is surprised then returns to reply to Akhi's message and of course remains secret about Fadil to him. The Goddess was unwilling to break the concentration of Fiqi there.

After being satisfied with the message, Fiqi returned home. There was something different from his parents' gaze this time. Fiqi directly sat in front of them, “What is this?”

The husband and wife who were no longer young smiled. “Nak, Abah and Ummi came to our house.” Fiqi was shocked in disbelief.

The leader of the largest boarding school in the area came to visit without wind and rain, of course, very surprising Fiqi.

“They proposed to you!”

“INNALILLAHI!!”
