The Smile of God for Marissa

Secret Revealed

My days are deserted. I don't want to see anyone at the boarding house. It's not that I'm wrong, but I want to be a little wary. I didn't want to when I shared their story with Sisy and there was a split between us.

All my friends left me one by one, ba’da maghrib they always gathered in Rosa's room with Sisy chattering regardless of me. I know I'm innocent, but as a normal human being, I don't want to defend myself much. I don't want anyone else to think I won by myself.

“Lina, meet me in the square now “ message me via whatsapp on Lina. Two days on my own I felt unwell. There's something I need to know from others about myself. Lina didn't read my message right away. I waited fifteen minutes, Lina replied.

“ Now ? Okey I leave.”

Heart relieved. I prepared myself for where I wanted to go to see Lina and I always hoped that there would be an enlightenment I received from Lina today. I opened the door and stepped into the living room. The wide open door makes it easier to get out of the house. I took a short cut through the side road of the house down the small alley to the elementary school of training. Out of the school gate, I turned left across the intersection of the Bagelen hotel, there were not many people around me. Time still shows at 05:15.

A bright morning. The air is still very fresh. The atmosphere of the city is still empty because only a few vehicles pass on the road. It's a really impressive sight. For a few months I was absent from my morning routine in this city. A few youths in his sports clothes flashed, heading towards the square. There was no greeting because we didn't know each other. That's my bad habit. I'm always ashamed to say hello to men first.

I walk while looking down. Suddenly a bicycle stopped right in front of me and I almost hit it.

“ Daydreaming, yes ?” ask the owner of the bike with a smile.

“ em, ma . . sorry”I can't believe the view in front of me. The man I met in Kemanukan and for a few days bothered me standing in front of me smiling at me. Where's she from ?

“ Brother where to go?” I smiled at the question. He looked at me and an athletic man named Suseno getting off his bike.

“ Why is Sister alone ? Where are friends ?” I was confused as to what answer I would give. My move accelerated so that my stay with him would end as soon as I met Lina.

“ Why is it so fast your step, Sweet sister ?”

I hate his words. He tried to seduce me but today I am really not passionate to respond to his appeal.

“ Brother is angry with Brother? “ with a face full of anxiety Seno offset my steps. He was constantly asking questions, but all of his questions were ignored. Today I really don't want to meet anyone but Lina.

“Dik, stop ! “ command.

Step stop. The anger that since yesterday was not really for him appeared. I looked at his face with annoyance. There was no sound that could make him understand my feelings today because I could only shut up.

“ If there is a problem solve ! Not go and harm yourself.” Seno said firmly.

“I'm not running away from trouble. I want to meet someone who is now waiting for me in the square and it's not you. With all humility, please stay away from me, Mr !” menhiba. Once again he looked at me pity and one hand grabbed my hand. I swiftly flicked his hand but his strong grip did not drop a bit from my hand. I was confused, either according to or rebelled. I'm sitting my ass on the sidewalk. He was beside me, obviously he was looking at me, but I deliberately did not want to look at him. My eyes began to glaze over and I knew he was starting to stretch out his hand to touch me but I immediately shook off. I don't want a man, whoever he touches me before he's officially my husband.

“Did Qomar bother you ? “ tanyanya.

I'm shaking. I saw my cell phone, to reduce the confusion Lina might send a message but nil. Maybe Lina hasn't gotten where I wanted to be. I began to control myself, I raised my face and slowly looked at the man sitting next to me. He returned my gaze.

“ Sister . . . !”

He's nodding.

“ All this time I don't know where Brother lives. There's no desire for me to know because I assume it has nothing to do with me.”

“ Then ?”

“ One day a friend of mine was angry with me. I don't know why, he said that Big Brother was a commander in the Battalion, who won the competition, won a princess for his love. Is that really so ? “

The man in front of me was surprised. He probably doesn't think I know all the secrets.

“ Sister has absolutely no intention of that. In the deepest of hearts, Brother has admired Dik Marissa since the first meeting but Brother did not dare to raise. Once, when Dik Risa passed from the village hall in disappointment with Qomar, Brother secretly watched over perhaps the younger brother who had begun to disturb my attention did something dangerous. I followed until Big Brother was completely convinced that the woman whom Big Brother admired was safe. Furthermore, I did not know that there are my men who turned out to harbor the same taste as me. The three of them had a chance to bicker, until they almost clashed. That's right what Dik Marissa's friend said. But rest assured, we do not make Adik as a travel material. “

“ Then what is Kak Seno's relationship with Sisy ?” my inner.

“ Well, for a while I believe, the one I asked for, from this moment please, do not disturb my composure with messages or meet me anywhere. I don't want to hurt a woman. “

“Same woman ? Who is he ?”

“For now I don't want to think about men. Forget our meeting and assume it never existed. Assalamualaikum” I'll pass soon. I ignored all the calls or excuses Seno made to make myself sit next to her again. I paused my intention to see Lina. I immediately ran across the front of the post office to go to Lina's boarding house in Plaosan.

Arriving at Lina's boarding house, I could only sit on the long chair on her porch. There's no need for me to knock on the door because I know Lina's not home. Breathe in for a moment. My cell phone rang, missed call from Lina I deliberately reject.

“ I'm at your boarding house. “ order soon I send. And ten minutes later Lina had already returned to the boarding house with a murmur.

“You made me daze know ?” he said he was anxious, he wanted to reach my ear if he had not seen the moody look on my face. “ Hey ? What happened to you this morning ? “ he said while holding my hand and taking me into his room. I just follow. Lina's boarding house is very quiet. Apparently he was alone this morning, I don't know. Arriving at the room, Lina sat me down on the couch and she sat on the floor. For a moment he looked at my face and I couldn't hold back my tears. There was a deep sadness that I could not express with words and it made Lina hug me tightly.

“Cry if it can make your load less,” he said. I can only shake. Lina let go of her embrace and looked at me. “ You said you wanted to talk something ? “ continued.

“You know Se . .no ? “ sayku stamped. Lina nodded. “ Dia . . live where you know ? “ connector. Once again Lina nodded.

“ He lives in an infantry battalion. Why is it ?”

“ So he is a friend of his father Sisy who has always loved Sisy?”

Lina shakes.

“For that one I don't know, Ris. What's wrong ?”

“Sisy gets angry when she finds out Seno revealed love to me.”

“What ? “

“He said, I'm being contested by some of the men and commanders in the battalion. The men finally handed me over to the commander and said Sisy, the commander was . ..” I stopped my sentence because I did not want to mention Seno today.

“ Seno you mean ? “

I'm nodding. Lina clenched her hands and punched the floor hard.

“Sisy said right ? Not Seno ?”

“Despite who said Lina. When I was about to meet you in the square, I met him. In front of the BRI we sat down and talked about the commander's victory, and he did not dodge it at all. “

“ Seno admits ? How dare he. Then why did you invite me to meet in the square if you finally met Seno ?”

“ I didn't see him, Lin. I just happened to meet him. He got on the bike and stopped me, that's all. Now I know why Sisy left my room and joined Rosa. She was angry because the man she loved preferred me over her.”

“ Wait ! Sisy left your room and joined Rosa ? Why are you so angry ? isn't that a coincidence. When your heart is upset, it's good that you're alone in your room, right ? Don't be dizzy, Ris. Let's just say this is God's guidance to you. Nevermind ! You forget him. Leave everything to the Almighty. There was a man far better than that commander Seno. We eat yuk ! I bought you a rice pack. I know you just got sick and definitely haven't had time to cook.” It was so light that Lina responded to my problem. This is a privilege that no other friend of mine has.
