The Light of Love Salma

Heart Angle of Injured Dance

Days passed, gossip about the engagement of the prince owner of the pesantren has spread to the corners of the village where the alumni and guardians are located, but none of them knew who the girl who was going to marry the son of Abah and Ummi who was famous for his brutality.

Desas desus news about the girl who will be the daughter-in-law of the largest pesantren owner continues to blow, some say if the girl is one of the students in the pesantren, the, some say if the girl who will marry Kafa is the daughter of a big kiyai some say if the girl is a girl who came from the city, there are a lot of rumors circulating without knowing the truth.

"Salma," lirih Tari, currently the two are sitting enjoying a relaxing day in the backyard of the boarding school, sitting on a corner on a plastic mat that is usual in the title of santri when you want to spend time while enjoying the breeze in the backyard of the pesantren.

"What?" sahut Salma brief.

"Have you heard the rumors about the girl who is getting married to Mas Kafa?" Dari answered Salma's question by asking again.

"Look, what's the matter?" Salma looked relaxed as she answered Dari's question, clearly visible on her face there was not the slightest bit of unrest on her face.

"I sometimes feel funny with all the gossip circulating, they are busy assuming themselves are concerned even relaxed here" said Tari while looking up, looking at the clear sky from the trees.

"I find it funny myself sometimes and feel a little guilty" Salma said.

"It feels funny too a little guilty how does that mean?" Dari now sits cross-legged facing Salma who is still relaxed sitting leaning back while straightening her legs next to Dari.

"Just be funny, though, they spoke as if they knew and I felt a little guilty because of my request that my identity be kept secret many people who said pretentious and even willing to lie to look close to the Ummi and Abah families," Salma explained the reason she said if the gossip she heard sounded funny.

"You're right, they're freaking out on their own while you're here looking relaxed and there's not the slightest bit of pride or happiness I see," said Tari who was still faithful looking towards Salma while watching her facial expression.

"To be honest, I still have doubts about Dance, whether I have made the right decision or vice versa, however, Mas Kafa is not an ordinary person plus his attitude that is always annoying even seemed to hate me further aggravate the doubt that envelops my heart, if if this matchmaking does not exist, if this matchmaking does not exist, I'd be much calmer and happier if I married Ghozi alone" Salma said.

"Ukhhuk .. ukhuk .. ukhuk ...." The dance that had just gulped water from the bottle beside her immediately coughed after hearing Salma's honesty.

"Married to Ghozi? what do you mean by Salma? how can you think that?" Dari immediately asked the question after hearing the name Ghozi called.

"Some time ago, Ghozi asked me, and I couldn't answer him until he finally knew for himself about my match with Kafa, actually at that time I wanted to accept him and be his life partner, really, but I can't let Ummi down, I've already accepted the match and I can't possibly cancel it," Salma told him what had happened, he told me all the details without anything being reduced or added.

"Dance!" panghil Salma when she saw Dari just fell silent expressionlessly with a blank look staring straight ahead.

"Hey Dance!!" Salma again called out to Tari who was speechless with a voice that rose an octave from before.

"Hm," said a short Dance without changing position, he answered Salma's call with the same position as well as the same view.

"Why you?" tanya Salma looked in wonder at Tari the friend who now looks very strange, the attitude and expression of Tari changed since Salma told him that Ghozi had asked her.

"Nothing, I'm okay," reply Tari tried to act ordinary in front of Salma even though his heart was sick and injured because the Ghozi he liked had asked Salma which means he preferred Salma rather than Tari.

"Don't lie to you Dance! your lips say it's okay, but your facial expression says something else, just tell me why! if I can help then I'll help you," Salma was still curious about what happened to Dance and the cause of Dance was just silence without a word.

"Here Salma is, if I say it's okay, that means it's okay, so don't force me!" tari who still did not want to tell Salma anything.

Dance who feels if she does not need to tell about her feelings for Ghozi chose to be silent rather than to be frank, because according to Tari the story on Salma will be free, too, the heart of only God can turn it back, no creature can do that, so Tari prefers to complain and ask to also tell the creator rather than telling stories to fellow creatures.

"Alright, but if you need a confiding friend or someone ready to hold your tears, then come to me!" salma said with a poetic tone.

"You take it easy, if the time has come then I will tell you everything and you must be really ready, because my story will be very long and wide," sahut Tari who now smiles towards Salma, although the smile was once forced Salma can only be silent no longer force Tari to tell a story.

Now that Tari was staring at the beautiful blue sky that stretched far away, life was full of mystery, no one could guess what it would be like in the future.

"How's your engagement plan going tomorrow? are you ready if everyone knows your identity?" tanua Tari tried to divert the conversation.

"Ready or not? what will happen then still happens, no matter how hard we avoid it will meet also if the time has come," said Salma who now looks resigned to what will happen.
