The Life of Introverted Girls

76

It's been a month...Syifa took part in the scientific contest and won it.

"Congratulations Syifa..kamu managed to win the race.Means you go to Jakarta dong ..iya right??"Gladis's great-grandson was enthusiastic, he was very pleased with Syifa's victory.

"Hmm.iya"Jawab Syifa flagrantly responded to Gladis.

"Why don't you get excited, you should be happy to win this race"

Syifa forced her smile.She was sad this victory can only be shared with her best friend.His close family no one knows its success.

Gladis looked at Syifa's sad face, and she saw Syifa's hand held her gently.."I always support you Syifa.if you go to Jakarta later I will come with you, do not be sad again,oke..!!"Gladis said giving spirit to Syifa.

"I was confused how to ask his permission to Kak Maliq, he never responded to me when talking to him".Since Maliq was sick, Maliq increasingly ignored Syifa, as if he had never considered the existence of Syifa at all.

"You can try to talk to your in-laws, who knows your in-laws will talk to your husband" Sul Gladis looked for a way out.

"Don't.yang there Mamah will be even more angry to Kak Maliq.Mamah knows I'm with Kak Maliq is fine.If I say goodbye to Mamah, then Mamah will be suspicious again".Pekik Syifa disagreed.

"Well.so what's dong"..Murmured Gladis listlessly.

"Later I'll think of a way out, we just eat first my stomach has been rumbling.."Tukas Syifa.They are now in a cafe across from their campus.

"Oo.iya we eat first"Seru Gladis while eating the dish in front of them.

For a moment Gladis was stunned staring at Syifa face.

"why are you looking at me like that Gladis??"

"Emmm..I'm just surprised, why your face is so similar to my cousin.Especially if you smile, it's very similar.But your nature is 180% different.he is cunning and hypocritical, while you are gentle and sincere.."

"That's my mom's next cousin.if the bule is next to me"

"Ooh.."

In the afternoon Syifa was sitting in the garden gazebo behind the house.She deliberately waited for the arrival of Maliq.She wanted to ask permission from Maliq about his departure to Jakarta to attend the scientific work competition of envoys from his province.

Shortly thereafter..Syifa heard the roar of cars stopping in the garage of the house.

"That must be Kak Maliq.Do I ask permission now or wait for Kak Maliq to finish dinner??".Shifa muttered doubtfully.

Syifa welcomed the arrival of Maliq, grabbed Maliq's hand and kissed the back of Maliq's hand.Every day this activity is routine he did although never get a response from Maliq.

"Sister Maliq want me to make coffee?"bargain Syifa on Maliq.

"Hhhhhhh."Maliq continued his steps with a cold gaze towards Syifa.

Syifa still serves Maliq as where it should be.although Maliq still remains cold to him.Syifa does not matter.She will keep her own pain, she tries to keep everything with sincerity.

Syifa followed Maliq steps into the room.Gegas she prepared a change of clothes for her husband.She was very sure Maliq will shower after returning from the office.Finished preparing Maliq clothes, Syifa sat on the sofa in Maliq room.

Maliq came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist.Syifa threw her gaze out the window, she felt uneasy with the view in front of her.

"Well, you were there?Maliq on Syifa.
