The Pending Wait

Disappointed

Chapters. 6

After feeling relieved, as usual they spirit the morning by pedaling a bicycle to school. On the way, Piah was still thinking about the tomorrow he would face.

He is still worried about his decision.

He remembered his love for Heru.

The words were still ringing in his mind.

*** A week has passed, the day promised to give the decision has arrived.

Piah's heart was pounding harder. The dawn is rising.

Time shows at 05:47 WIB. Phone's ringing. His hands were trembling, his heart was unruffled, cold sweat began to pour out. He ventured to see the name on his phone screen. Mas Heru's.

The name he was waiting for was now on his phone screen, but he did not dare to pick up the call.

He held his head while blinking his lips. Twice the call he ignored.

A moment later, however, it rang for the third time.

He raised his call and said his greetings with a trembling voice. In this conversation, they had argued for a long time about the principle of life and desire, especially by Piah until finally Heru is really impatient and expects certainty from his heart that has filled the space of his heart.

“How de’ Piah... I will not force this feeling, only the one I ask, be honest with your feelings, do not lie to yourself and your feelings

de’...”, pinta Heru expectantly.

“Mas... I... I...”, said Piah stammering and trembling.

“De’, I seriously love you, I want to make you happy if God allows... De’, will you be my girlfriend?

”, this time Heru asked with full decisiveness. Piah paused for a moment then said briefly with a heart still filled with thumping,

“Iya Mas... I want..” In the distance there Heru's face looks radiant, he is like getting the moon he always awaits. Now he can reach that month. But on the other hand, in addition to that happiness, Piah felt unrelieved, unsettled by the decision he just said.

Dating. One word that never existed in the dictionary of his life, now he became the culprit.

Piah's days have been colourful ever since he knew Heru, especially since he was with Heru. However, he always felt the most stupid when he finished doing tahajjud.

“Yes Allah.. Forgive me if I have made a wrong decision.... What should I do???”, Piah prayed with tears flooding both cheeks. It did not feel like he had been with Heru for a month.

The first week he fell from the bike, something he had never experienced before to make his best friend shocked half to death.

The second week, he was almost hit by a car as he was about to cross the road in front of the school. It was so amazing by his friends.

Piah who is famous as a meticulous and careful in stepping in his life, he even looks careless at that time.

While the most fatal are the third and fourth weeks after he was created, the value of Try Out UAN decreased.

“Is this a coincidence or is this Your wrath against me, O Allah…..?

”, asked Piah in the heart when the sun began to show its light. Having a life partner.

That's what Piah's been waiting for all along. However, he did not expect to take it by dating.

“Hmmm...”, he let out a long sigh. He felt that he had sinned. Since then Piah no longer pay attention to the phone from Heru, he was as much as possible to avoid when Heru visited the house he occupied.

Mr. Kiai until the head geleng saw the behavior of his protege.

A month passed, there was never any communication between the two. Therefore, Piah felt that he was really overdue. That relationship should never have happened. He shouldn't have to indulge his passions to forge bonds that he shouldn't.

He also felt guilty for not giving news or explanation to his girlfriend for his attitude so far. He picked up the phone and searched for the name he wanted to call.

Mas Heru's. A name that he considered sacred since their anniversary. Tut..tut..tut.

He tried to call back. This time there was a greeting from that direction, Piah answered the greeting gently as usual.

“De’ Piah Darling..., how are you doing? Mas miss you so much Darling... Why ade’ never picks up the phone from Mas? Why has there never been any news from you, ade’? Did Mas have any wrong on ade’? Please do not silence Mas like this. Mas love you, ade’ku dear…

”, Heru revealed at length. The chain question further irritated Piah and wanted to get angry.

Moreover, “Sayang” calls that increasingly make his ears uncomfortable. However, Piah undoes his intention to get angry when he recalls the purpose he contacted his beloved girlfriend.

“Pardon ade’ ya Mas.. Sorry if as long as we know, ade’ did too much wrong either ade’ intentionally or not…

Thank you for all the kindness that Mas gave ade’ yes..”, Piah said carefully.

For a moment both were silent. Heru was more confused by the words of his heart. Therefore, Heru asked for an explanation for Piah's words. They spoke softly as usual
