After the meeting, it suddenly rained. Soon Abira found a place to shelter, followed by Kaffa behind him. Abira knew very well that his body could not be exposed to rain water. If he was raining, his body could have a fever and his papa would have worried about him. For him it is better to take shelter for a while until the rain subsides.
Silence exists among those who stand at a considerable distance. Facing the drops of water that fell in front of them, hoping that the water quickly stopped. Roll hands to the chest to hold each body occasionally wiping the arms.
"Wear my jacket, I know you're allergic to cold" Kaffa said, holding out his jacket
Abira only glanced slightly without taking the jacket. In his heart he wondered, where did Kaffa know if he was allergic to cold.
"Hhm. Come on, don't be stubborn. Lower your prestige a little. You can be short of breath if you continue like this. I'll call your papa again if we get caught in the rain"
Actually Abira felt a chill all over his body. Plus the rain is getting heavier and never subsides. He had to take Kaffa's jacket and cover himself.
Silence came back between them.
Kaffa's cell phone rang not long before someone called her. In Abira's heart he guessed, it must be a call from Alya his friend who worried about the state of Kaffa. Even Kaffa had to stay away a little bit from him. Maybe he didn't want Abira to hear the conversation. Abira just bowed coldly while continuing to clutch her body tighter and tighter.
"You know Abira, no matter how much you change now, you're still the Abira I knew. The Abira I admire. The world is really narrow. All these years I've been looking for you but without me realizing we're so close" Kaffa said, breaking the silence inside Abira
Abira, who did not know that Kaffa had returned near him, was shocked to hear this. Abira was silent, but his heart kept wondering what Kaffa meant.
After a few minutes the rain stopped and they continued on their way home. Arriving home...
"Sorry om too late because we were caught in the rain so take shelter first"
"yes it's okay, you better take shelter than rain. Abira could be sick"

After the shower cleans herself, when she enters the room, Abira realizes that Kaffa's jacket is still on her. Because it was too cold Abira forgot to return it. He let out a long sigh due to his carelessness and intended to return the jacket the next day.
"What does he mean he said that ? admire me ? years looking for me ? does he feel and do the same to me ?" abira's inner murmur questioned all his heart's lament over all of Kaffa's utterances
"Astaghfirullah's.. What I thought. Hus hus go devils do not try to incite me" said Abira with a huff
While Kaffa in his room kept remembering second by second he looked at Abira's face under the rain in silence. Sometimes he smiles at his lips. He was lucky that Abira who kept avoiding him did not realize that.
"Remain beautiful Abira, her face shines even though her countenance is very cold" Kaffa muttered with a smile
Kaffa recalled how the children of Abira's guidance in the garden of the Qur'an approached him. They were so happy that Kaffa brought Abira to the place that they could feel the upbringing of someone who was so sincere in teaching them.
Without realizing it the smile returned to Kaffa's face.
"Why is this me ? do my feelings for Abira really come back ? ahhh no Kaffa you already have Alya woman who has been faithful to help you" muttered Kaffa's inner self who tried to shake his feelings

"Abira..pardon that's like Kaffa's jacket huh ?"
Abira who was shocked approached suddenly by Alya realized that Alya must be thinking no-no with him because he was holding the jacket.
"Ohh this is Alya. Last night we rained, Kaffa lent him because I was cold, I was allergic to cold Alya, I could be short of breath if I kept cold while the rain was long enough" Abira said trying to convince Alya
"Today I'm going to give it back, or can I ask you a favor ? please return this jacket to Kaffa" Abira asked as she stretched out the jacket in her hand
Without answering Alya just nodded and took the jacket from Abira's hand.
Throughout the lesson Alya's mind continues to pass. Negative thoughts began to enter her. He wondered what Kaffa and Abira were. What Abira said is true. They're in the same office, whatever they're doing while Alya's not there. They always come home together.
Alya felt over thinking. He had to meet Kaffa immediately to ask for everything while returning his jacket.
"this is your jacket, Abira asked me to help return it to you" said Alya gave the jacket in his hand
"Ohh yes thank you Alya"
"Kok can your jacket be on him ?"
"Today we met and went home at night. When it rains. I remember back in school when Abira couldn't get rain water, and she was allergic to cold and could be short of breath. He was willing to help me, so what's wrong with me is helping him as well" said Kaffa staring fixedly at Alya, Kaffa knew that Alya was jealous
"You don't think weird. Look at him even asking you to give him back to me. You yourself told me how she took care of herself. We work professionally only. There is no personal communication between us. Trust me" Kaffa tried to convince Alya
Seeing Alya who kept silent and did not respond to his explanation. Kaffa immediately kissed Alya on the forehead. While saying...
"Don't think anything"
Alya was instantly devastated by Kaffa's treatment and chose to brush off all the pain in his heart. Alya trusted the man she loved so much. Alya chooses to forget her jealousy rather than her relationship and Kaffa has to run into trouble.

The weekend arrives. Abira, who is very comfortable with silence and peace, visits her favorite place on every college holiday. A famous artificial lake in his city. There Abira is very comfortable spending hours even if only alone. Sitting on a chair by the lake, under a shade tree that provides coolness.
Seen from a distance there was a pair of eyes that were silently watching him...
