THE UNIVERSE

A Reality

Alia's memory of Kenzie simply flowed, after ten minutes of glaring at the early morning sky. It's past one o'clock now. Faqih was still watching the female figure beside him.

"I'm confused Tum, said there's no relationship but we're tied to the same heart. It says there is a relationship but we have no status. It could even be easy someday he chose another woman" said Alia

"Then you are the same as me" said Faqih

"You have a boyfriend, don't flirt with other women. Kasian will be your girlfriend" Alia looked at Faqih cynically.

"As long as you want to be with me, my boyfriend can still take care of me. So you don't want Al, if it's me?" ask Faqih.

What kind of man is this chairman, already has a girlfriend but still often seduced other women. Later if the woman who is baper is actually the woman.

"Even if it never will, Tom!" alia said as she looked at her glaring gaze towards Faqih

"Let's see what Al's going to do next.."

"Here you go, let me go home to the boarding house!" Alia is getting upset, so presumptuous this chairman.

"Alright, come! Put on my jacket, it will get colder" Faqih took off the jacket she was wearing and put it on Alia.

Alia only smiled wryly, maybe this was the first step her chairman paid attention to her. Alia was too confident like that. Faqih immediately drove Alia back to the boarding house.

After arriving at the boarding gate, "I go straight home, you sleep yes. Although it will enter the afternoon, surely you are told Fauzan to nemenin him from the morning"

"Don't tell me I know either!" sewot Alia while leaving the figure of Faqih who was still smiling looked at her

The boarding door closed, Alia was already inside. And it turns out he just realized that the jacket Faqih gave him was still attached to him.

Aisshh, why can you forget this jacket anyway?! alia grumbled without a sound.

Forcibly, Alia kept Faqih's jacket on her closet hangers. Alia continued her body cleaning activities before going to sleep. After she finished, Alia immediately laid down her tired body on the bed.

Several times Alia closed her eyes but instead of sleeping the shadow of Kenzie's figure dropped by behind her eyes. Alia had already restrained her anger, she wanted to go to sleep immediately. Then it turns out that the ringing sound of a phone call echoed in his ear.

Alia looked at her phone screen, there was Kenzie's name there.

Geez, it's two o'clock past. Inner Alia. Alia also received a call on her phone, of course with a loadspeaker. It feels like Alia is lazy to look at the screen of her phone.

Source: Assalamualaikum, Al

Alia: Waalaikumsalam, what's up Ken?

Kenzie: True my guess, where are you from this new clock to the boarding?

Alia: I had a meeting earlier with Rayon's son.

Kenzie: Who was sent to the boarding house?

Alia: Come on Ken, this is none of your business. I'm sleepy, I sleep first.

Kenzie: All right, happy break Al. I'll try to see you tomorrow. Assalamualaikum says.

There's a sense of guilt for having behaved like that to Kenzie. But how else? Whereas all this time, who is often surrounded by the opposite sex is Kenzie. Yes, Kenzie easily lured the other students on campus. Who doesn't know Kenzie? Alia felt a tightness in her heart, she chose to sleep instead of having to think of Kenzie Mahawira.

This morning Alia woke up late, glimpsed by the number of hours on her cellphone screen. The series of numbers shows at five o'clock in the morning past forty five minutes.

Alia's phone rang again, with Alia's narrowed eyes trying to look at the phone's screen. Turns out Fauzan called her. Watch the clock on the wall of the room.

Geez, it's half nine! peekik Alia's. He immediately answered a call from Fauzan.

Fauzan: Assalamualaikum

Alian: Waalaikumsalam, what's up Tum?

Fauzan: Where are you again, Mom?

Alia: Ah, I'm still at the boarding house. I go to college again.

Fauzan: Oh yeah, I can't pick you up, there's still an internal meeting here too. But Faqih asked permission to pick you up, just left. You are ready!

Alia: Huh Tum Faqih? Why did you give him permission anyway Tum?

Fauzan : This is sudden Al, let me settle for his majors ospek. I'll wait in the secretariat!

Alia: Oh okay deh Tum, I'm ready first. Assalamualaikum

Fauzan : Waalaikumsalam

Alia still felt her heart was not sad after the incident last night with Faqih. As much as possible, Alia wanted to behave as usual. Alia immediately took a shower and got ready to go to the campus. Because this morning the focus is only on HMJ, Alia will automatically wear PDH clothes (daily service clothes).

Not long after the boarding door was knocked, Faqih seemed to pick him up until he stood in front of the door. Because Alia was ready and tidy, she walked away from the boarding house and locked the door. Not to forget also Alia brought Faqih's jacket last night.

"Have you sorted out Al? I think it's still dancing" Faqih said

"Udah Tum, let's go. It's not good that I'm waiting for Tum Fauzan" said Alia while leaving the hostel.

Faqih followed Alia who had already approached her motorbike in a special parking lot for boarding visitors. They immediately went to college.

It takes about ten minutes to get to the campus from the Alia boarding house, especially because the road must rotate because the campus is on the right while if from the Alia boarding house, they are on the left. Arriving at the campus parking lot, they went directly to the secretariat of HMJ Tafsir Hadis.

Alia's steps stopped when there was a voice she was most familiar with calling her from a distance.

"Alia!"

Alia is looking for the whereabouts of the person, who else if not Kenzie. From the direction of gate —because it just arrived at campus— Kenzie approached Alia. On Alia's side still stood the figure of Faqih with his leisure.

"What's up Ken?" alia tried to talk first

"Are you busy? I want to talk for a minute" asked Kenzie

"But I'm in a meeting at Ken's secretariat, I can't stay. Sa later.."

"You guys talk first, I'll let you go to Fauzan if you go to the toilet. Besides, I'm the chief executive. Calm Al, if I go first Al" said Faqih after cutting off Alia's speech who intended to reject Kenzie's invitation

"Alright, be careful Tum" said Alia.

Alia can no longer reason. Finally Alia invited Kenzie to speak at the faculty park. Alia senses that Kenzie will be addressing an unfinished overnight question answered by her.

There is no relationship, but it is too good to ask 'why' every thing that happens to Alia but is less liked by Kenzie. The reality remains that way. Playing with fire without any clarity of relationship between them.
