The Story of My Time

Episode 88's

Ripa'i and I stayed up all night, she kept me company, listened to my stories about her, clasped my hands tightly as my voice shook, giving me comfort.

We were sitting in chairs all night, I was resting my head on the shoulder of the ripa'i, and he was holding me, putting his hand on my shoulder, his other hand holding mine.

When dawn came, I looked at her face, and she fell asleep. Probably tired all night with me and listening to me until she fell asleep.

I looked at that calm face, I really felt sorry for him, behind his calm attitude all this time it turned out to be so much tension, deserved he always praised me about all the trips I went through.

' what could we be together? Could it be that you will still be mine, who am I? Only a girl who is too far from perfect, even a good word if by your side it feels inappropriate for me, sorry if one day I let you down! ' my mind is too far away, or too scared, I don't know if I can understand it myself.

When I wanted to move my hand, releasing it from the ripa'i hand, it turned out that movement woke the ripa'i.

I looked at her face, she smiled as well seeing me, ah, wrong looking at me maybe that's the right one.

" You are beautiful in the morning" he said, with a distinctive sound of waking up.

I didn't say I just lowered my face so that the ripa'i would stop looking at me, but the ripa'i would deliberately tease me by following my every move.

" Ripa'i, I want to fulfill my duty! " My flat, because I'm not comfortable with the ripa'i temptation.

" obligation? Which obligation, aren't we married? Or it's a code so I can immediately justify you "he said with a sly smile on his lips.

" Stop ripa'i! I wanted to do the dawn prayer, so let go of my "soft hands I said, somehow I felt sorry for what he said just now even though I knew he was joking.

Ripa'i let go of her hand, I also stood up from my seat. Ah, it turned out to be quite enough to make my body pegel sit on the bench all night.

I took my foot to the bathroom, when I got to the bathroom I just remembered that I didn't have any prayer equipment, I came back out of the bathroom, too,

" Pai, I don't have a prayer kit! " I said, ripa'i turned around,

" Just clean yourself up, when you get out of the bathroom it's all here! " She said, I did not argue, I went back to the bathroom to clean my body and ablution.

True ripa'i remarked, when I returned to the room the prayer equipment was already on the bed, I glanced at ripa'i and smiled at him and he returned my smile.

Just a quick glance, because I don't want to delay time.

When I put on my prayer gear, Ripa'i went into the bathroom, probably wanting to clean her body.

A few minutes later, I finished my prayer ritual, not forgetting that I prayed for my parents, as well as all my affairs, including the ripa'i.

I circulated my gaze, looking for the figure of ripa'i, it turns out that he was neat with his prayer equipment.

If I used to say he was very handsome when using prayer equipment, but only in Vidio's call. This time I saw him in person, he was really handsome.

" It's over "he said, I nodded.

" Well, can I borrow the alphabet? " Saying again, I smiled and nodded back.

Ripa'i runs her prayer rites. Waiting until the ripa'i is done, I open my phone. I saw some incoming messages maybe from last night that I haven't opened yet.

I opened the message icon on my phone, there were many messages from people closest to me, also from my family.

# Janie, when do you come home? Brother Kangen, it feels like a long time not to see you # My brother.

# tth, Indri permission to go with Indri friends huh? # the youngest

# Jani how are you? # harris

# is tth okay, if needed I'll catch up with #Fitri

# tthou want to go home to see mother, have you come home? # the Rendi

# how, everything okay? # Andie

# Asiah asked me to drive him home # Gibran

And many more, but I read immediately on the last message.

# make sure ripa'i go before sunrise #anta.

I don't like to read messages from Anta a little bit, but I know it's for my own good and for the mission we're investigating.

# he'mh, I'll make sure it's # My message was sent to anta.

I glanced at Ripa'i, he was raising both hands, maybe asking for something or praying I don't know.

When he was finished he sat down beside me,

" What's up? " Slowly asked.

" Let me look you in the face this time" I said.

" Do it, for as long as you want even if I'm willing to "do it all my life.

" Not only this time "i said, and I watched every inch of ripa'i's face, nothing was missed, I felt unwelcome in my heart when I realized who my opponent was this time.

I stopped staring at ripa'i, it felt like I was weak at the moment.

" Say what's wrong? " The soft one while holding my shoulder

" Nothing, it's just that my confidence is small this time! " I answered without meeting ripa'i.

" why? " Ask again,

I smiled faintly and took a deep breath, "do you not want to wait for me this time, just for a moment "he said back, I was still silent.

" I beg you, a little more, I don't want to promise this time, but I'll make sure everything's okay "the words come out again to convince my heart.

I glanced at him, though,

" I know your heart ripa'i, but you also know who my opponent is this time, whether I should force everything, if I should force it all, I'm afraid it's impacted the family I've been fighting for and protecting "I said flatly, not wanting to ripa'i see how fragile and sad I am right now.

" What do you know about him? " Ask me.

" Eemmm, I know who he is, I also know the power he has through his parents, even the connection he has really makes me a little uneasy" I explained.

" Oh, I will try even if I don't know what the end will be, and I'm sorry if I always let you down again and again, I will try to convince my heart, you know I'm not that weak "I said back, didn't want to make ripa'i feel camped too because of my words.

Ripa'i smiled, and kissed my lips long ago, just touching channeled love and love that is limitless. I hugged her as she let go of her kiss.

" You must go now, lest they realize I'm here for you" I said, after taking off my arms.

" He'mh, I go, stay alert, and don't get too close to you "he said, he came back to kiss me but the forehead.

I looked at the ripa'i back that was stepping away, like his steps, maybe he would also stay away from me.

At exactly 7am, someone knocked on the door and entered my room, who else if not anta.

She smiled mockingly at me, anta sitting beside me.

" Overnight with him, what are you doing? " She said with the sly smile she showed.

" Many! " My reply came from, I saw a dislike look from your face, maybe he expected another answer from me.

" Come, let's go home "I said.
