“Bang, what makes you want to accept the wedding?" I was furious, but the tone was slowed down.
"What's wrong?"
"No, Nisa doesn't like it. Accept that wedding!" my firmness.
"But my brother accepted it, Nisa!" press it but with a softening.
I'm hissing. "What should we marry? But that brother was just Abang Nisa. If Nisa accepts it, it seems that Nisa has no choice but to marry her own brother.
The huft!
I folded my hands in front of my chest. Lucky this room is quiet. Teachers are not much here. Some of them seem to be following meetings.
"Here you go, there's no need for Nisa to worry about everything. This is probably the best. And the decision was accepted, brother," then back to clean up the student's workbook.
"Oh, I refuse! if not.... "
Not yet able to continue my words, the school bell has rung. Azzam rose up to tidy up the books that were strewn about his desk.
"If not Nisa... " Azzam cut my words.
“Already, already... I think now Nisa does not need to worry and think strangely. Now go back to class, the bell has sounded,” he said, as if deliberately to quickly throw me out of here, so that I do not continue to force to change the decision.
"After this, you want to see Mr. Hasan first later we will talk about it, yes."
Azzam went by leaving me still standing in front of his desk.
I sizzled at him, peeling in my heart.
"Basic! Bummer!" my lady, stomp my feet to the floor. Then, turned away leaving the teacher's room with his face bent.
I breathed heavily for the umpteenth time.
The huft! What fate do I accept now Lord! I'm ingrained.
My leg bones are softening. I walked to class with a wave. Looking ahead with a blank stare and without regard to the left and right sides.
The people who greeted me also ignored me.
Presumably now I look more like a person who is possessed by demons. Walk with a blank look, not knowing the purpose. There was a lot of weight on my mind, from the graduation exam, to the matchmaking. I don't know what my fate would be like if the match was true, how would my relationship with Fey be? It's hard to accept all of this.
In the middle of a looming mind. Suddenly someone grabbed my shoulder. I lazily rolled my eyes to ascertain who he was.
“Hey, where are you from?" fey's voice ambushed.
“From the teacher's room,” I answered accordingly.
Both of Fey's eyebrows shot up. "What's wrong? Reprimanded again?"
"No!" I said shake.
Fey nodded slowly. "Good!"
The man next to me walked over while occasionally looking at my face. "Tumben is it cloudy?"
Hearing his words, I threw my head up into the sky. "Not until the sun is bright gini," I said seeing the sky is still bright, even the sun emits its rays with incomparable spirit.
"not sky. But your face is cloudy today. Why?"
I shook my head weakly.
“No, again males aja,” I replied indifferently.
“Aih, any problem? Story who knows I can help.” Fey stared so closely.
I paused for a moment my steps, then gently touched Fey's handsome face with both hands. Now our eyes meet each other's eyes. “Fey, if one day there was a woman more beautiful, kind and sweet than me, would you go with her and stay away from me?”
Fey held back both of my hands that were still attached to his cheeks. “You asked me what, anyway?"
“Answers Fey!” I asked immediately, with a pressing tone.
Fey smiled. “No, I'll stick with you,” reply.
“Okey,” my answer is short. Then I continued my stalled path.
“Hey! is that ajah? What does that mean, tumben nanya so?” fey asked while running slightly to equalize the pace with me.
“Ngak. Wblekkk"
“Wah, brash." Fey tickled my body, as soon as I squirmed as I was amused.
Without them noticing, a pair of eyes were looking at their familiarity from a distance.
His mind was still trying to deny what he saw. Azzam must have known first of all about his match with Nisa, and his mind has also accepted sincerely and sincerely. But what is now the question is what about Dhanisa, whether she is also able to sincerely accept Ustadz as a husband who incidentally is a teacher and his own cousin.
***
It seems like tonight dad and mom are going home late again because it's busy. I walked into the kitchen. I open the fridge, my eyes roll looking for something. Although the fridge is full, there seems to be nothing to eat. This is the result if there is no desire to learn to cook. ‘Huh! basic Nisa! Nisa!’
I complained. I closed the fridge back. “Do I have to eat noodles again tonight?” my spoken. Enough for these two days in a row I eat instant noodles, this night eating noodles again, maybe I'm more stupid. I walk into the room. Blank. Silent. Uh! this is my illness when I stay home alone. There's no other choice. I then reached for the phone on the desk, then searched Fey's name with my finger nimble typing a message to be sent immediately to Fey.
📞Dhanisa
"Fey, where is it now?" type me on the phone screen. Before long, Fey's reply appeared.
📞Fayzulen
"At home, why Nisa? misses?"
📞Dhanisa
"Hisst, yes I miss, as well as laper. Fey, it just so happens that my mom and dad aren't home. And now I'm really hungry so we go eat the usual place yuk?"
📞Fayzulen
"OKAY. Yuk!"
📞Dhanisa
"I'll wait another five minutes in a normal place!"
📞Fayzulen
"okay!"
After about thirty minutes I waited for Fey until he finally arrived at the Mak Ittah stall using his big motorbike.
“Slowly you are!” nadaku. "Almost half an hour I've been waiting here, lucky I haven't gotten mossy, Fey."
Fey then asked Mak Ittah to make him a cup of warm Nescafe.
“Sorry! I had a little business,” he said giving an excuse while his hands were busy tidying his hair that was ruffled due to being blown by the wind.
I looked at Fey with the slightest blink. As usual I tried to read her face when she gave me an excuse.
“You didn't lie!” I asked a little to ambush Fey.
Fey bit his lips. Instantly his gaze was shifted in another direction before he looked at me back.
“Oath! It's hard to lie to you, Nisa,” Fey replied.
I laughed as soon as Fey confessed, “That's you know, you want to lie, but the problem is you're less clever.”
Fey just shook his head.
“You've ordered food yet?” ask Fey.
“Already. Just now.”
“Telah.” Fey replied short.
Not long after that he smiled and raised his hand towards someone who was behind me. Spontaneous I looked. Suddenly my blood rippled when I saw Azzam was looking at the two of us here. His eyes seemed to pounce on me. Unwilling to meet him, I chose to turn my eyes to another object. I'm biting my lips. There's a little fear. Why did Ustadz come here these nights?
“Ustadz, buy eat here too?” ask Fey.
“No Fayzulen. I just want to take an order,” replied Ustadz Azzam.
Fey nodded. “Hmm, Ustadz stopped by to eat with us here.”
Hearing Fey's words the instant my expression changed. ‘What the hell did Fey make! I know I'm lazy to look at her face! make me no appetite’.
“Fey!” I clenched my teeth while purposely stomping his feet. Suddenly, he jumped in pain.
“Aww, why Nisa?”
I grimaced at Fey.
“No need Fey, you two hurry home after eating, because it is not good if men and women who are not both parents, because it can bring orgasm” said Azzam, though there is a special purpose to insinuate me.
“One message to me, do not often bring girls people to wander the night." He said as his eyes glanced at Fey, before long his gaze was shifted towards me. Being lazy to look at him I immediately threw my gaze in the other direction.
“He-he Yes Ustadz. But there's no intention of us getting there Ustadz." Fey denies.
“In the beginning there is no intention but if the devil has come to tempt, what can man do."
I put my head on the table. Crazy one! if it were so that I married her, I would have gotten a lecture every day from this ustadz.
“Then I go first, Assalamu’alaikum,” greetings Ustadz Azzam before going home leaving us.
“Wa’alaikumsalam”
Fey spoke again when he saw Ustadz Azzam's car begin to disappear from a distance in the street.
“Nisa, you heard Ustadz Azzam say, right? He talks like that as if we're so grown up that we think we're going to do something no-no."
Fey shook his head.
I responded to Fey's words casually. “Fey! Fey! You don't seem to know. He lives far above us. We are only 18 years old, while he is 27 years old, of course, he thinks he is different from us. That's why he talks like that."
Actually I mean defending Azzam's brother, just a little bit actually age is not necessarily a benchmark for one's maturity, but at least with age can mature and mature someone. That's ideal.
After explaining to Fey, I resumed the delayed meal due to the presence of Ustadz Azzam. Tonight is like normal nights, the moonlight and the stars are scattered in the night sky. During the night, I saw a lot of people stop by this Mak Ittah stall, not just want to eat, but this stall often they make as a place to gather, informal deliberation, or play chess. Just like us. It's just that tonight we just came together, no Jihan, Jovan and Sadam. Actually there was no intention of us wanting to gather together and the genk today, just because I was so hungry then I just invited Fey to come here.
“Nisa, after this we go to the dam, fishing,” invite Fey suddenly.
“Hmm, great idea. But who do we borrow?”
“Borrow only have Mr. Karyono, whose house beside the dam.”
Fey tried to help me remember, after seeing me think a little. Pak Karyono's house is adjacent to the padang where they usually fish, they also have no feelings of reluctance with Pak Karyono's family because they have often stopped there.
After all the food that was filled on the plate we ate, we immediately rushed to the dam, where we used to fish. The distance is also not too far from the Mak Ittah stall, so we enter our motorbike at the Mak Ittah stall only.
Fishing has always been interesting to me and Fey. We both have the same favorite. Everyone does have an alternative to free themselves and enter a world without limits. For me, this world is my favorite in fishing. Because there are times when I need space to forget for a moment on the heavy burden in everyday life. All problems, whether related to things that are inside or outside the house. At first I didn't know how to find a comfortable place to put it all. Until one day Fey, advised me to go with him to go fishing activities that he often did, wherever it was, he said, until I finally found a world that seemed different from the real world that I met in everyday life.
The streets were well lit that night, helped by the moonlight. The night breeze felt as we started to get to where we were headed. Fey's sighing was wasted, as Fey began to pull out the bait from the aqua plastic bottle. I sat next to him. The fishing rod is installed and just install the bait. Fey helped me hook that bait on my hook.
“We relax first here, while waiting for the fish to eat our bait earlier.”
Fey took a sip of Pupple Orange in a bottle, then offered it to me as well. However, I refused it because I felt my stomach was bloated after drinking a lot earlier in Mak Ittah stall. Finally I just grabbed a Chitatos snack lying next to the orange drink.
“Nisa, if after graduation later. Where are you planning to go?”
“Hah! continue on? Further lecture means?” many ensure.
“It is, the future of marriage anyway,” Fey said laughing.
“Ish, who also continues to marry,” kilahku, whereas in the heart in the near future I will have a marriage with Abang Azzam. “I plan to find a scholarship to England Fey,” I replied about the desire from the bottom of my heart.
“Hmm, I'm also coming.”
I glanced at Fey. “Why is that? you should choose according to your instincts and purpose in life what you want to take after this.”
“What do you want to take?” He's Fey again.
"Engineering and Physical Sciences"
“Well, I did too,” said Fey.
I frowned. “Fey!”
“Yes, I want us to go to the same place, graduate together. And ..” Fey did not continue the next word, deliberately trying to make me curious.
“Dan, what?”
Fey's been nudging my nose. “And proposed to you ..”
My smile expanded to hear the words coming out of Fey's mouth.
"I promise you that after graduating from college, I will come with you, to ask for your parents' blessing" Fey looked seriously and expectantly.
"Promise?"
Fey nodded. "Yes I promise."
The two of them that night dissolved in laughter. The surrounding grasses seemed to sway violently as strong winds blew. I rubbed my hands with the intention of easing the cold that I felt at that time. Fey who saw me like that, immediately grabbed the bomber jacket zipper so that my body could be driven from the cold air.
