Chapter 13 Opening the Heart

The sound from the direction of the mosque woke Arsen from his sleep. Still holding back his sleepiness, he uncovered a blanket covering his body and began walking to the bathroom to clean himself up before performing the dawn prayer in the mosque.

After that he got ready and started to step his feet out of the room. Sure enough he found his papa had been waiting as usual while his youngest sister was traveling with staggering and ogah-ogahan because of holding back sleepiness and was traveling to Saad who was in the living room. It feels like every dawn of Azel must be like that, but from childhood they have been accustomed to congregate in the mosque.

“Come, I want your adzan tuh.” Bring Saad.

“Zel is very sleepy pa, Zel is not a mosque today just pa. hoaam.” Nego Azel withstands sleepiness.

Seeing Azel who yawned immediately Arsen's hand shut his sister's mouth “If the mouth was closed, not good. Ntar new fly entry tau rasa.”

“Ih, just dawn-body.” Ketus Azale.

“Come, no nego-nego.” Saad pulled Azel's hand, while Arsen had already walked towards the door.

“Ma to go first. Assalamualaikum.” Pamit Saad, Arsen, and Azel.

“Iya, Waalaikummussalam.” Diana answered, who was walking toward her three men to close the door.

Arsen saw Rizky in the mosque with the rest of the ablution water still dripping on his face. If there were a woman who was looking at Rizky in such a situation then it would inevitably be hypnotized. Men who inherit a sharp nose and big eyes of the father, thick eyebrows black and regular mother, mature skin typical of Indonesia, jaw is firm, the jaw is firm, and high stature is increasingly a plus for a Rizky Alfaiz.

“Is he happy or is it the other way around?” the Arsenic on yourself.

Then he called Rizky, while Rizky raised a smile and stopped waiting for Arsen who was getting closer to him. Both of them also walked towards the mosque and joined in the kyusyu’an with other pilgrims. After the congregation, Arsen and Rizky make small talk. Some of the time they spent was too long.

“Ky, I said yes. Afraid of being late. Papa same Azel also already left me nih.” Arsenic.

“Eh yes, we stay here. Haha. I want to go home too. May your days go well Ar. Assalamualaikum.” Rizky said and greeted Arsen. The two also separated, because the direction of the house was opposite.

Arsen who walked alone to his house, was currently passing through Qanita's house. With a reflex of Arsen's gaze, he stared at Qanita's house. Sure enough, Qanita was in front of her house and was staring at Arsen as well.

For a long time they were clashing, as if they did not want to let each other go. Then Qanita woke up and took a stand. Soon he turned his back on Arsen and went back into his house. While Arsen is now walking slowly with various questions in his head.

“Tumben, I usually get picked right away. Uh jerking. Last night if it wasn't wrong I got a message from him. Am I dreaming ? Jeezaa HPku.” Arsen muttered and ran towards his house.

Arriving at home, he immediately accelerated his steps up the stairs that led him to the room. His bustling room door, then began to circulate his gaze looking for the tiny item. Long enough to search, and now his hands found the item under the bed.

Bruuk, up,,

“Aaauw.” He screamed because his head hit the side of the bed.

“Feelings are not very hard I throw this HP. How to get under the bed all the time.” Gerutuya while checking the HP side. Lucky there are no significant blisters.

It was given the HP and there was a Qanita message notification, it also indicated that he did not dream last night.

“Jeez, bearati last night I didn't dream dong. But why is he night-night ngechat.” Arsen spoke to himself and began to open a message from Qanita.

Assalamualaikum, have you slept ?

Arsen wondered with Qanita's message. Then his finger started typing a reply from the girl's message.

“Why nights chat ?” He replied to a message from Qanita.

Arsen left his HP on the bed and got ready for the office.

***

While Qanita since her gaze collided with Arsen, making her feel something that had never been felt before. His memory seemed to not want to be separated from Arsen's gaze. Istigfar said many times and continued his activities to help Maya cook. After helping Maya, she now steps into the room to get ready for work. He checked HP and saw a message sent to Arsen last night get an answer.

“Telat, late. I chat when you reply when.” Own shame.

Late, I chat when you reply when. The sentence was sent to Arsen. After that, go to the bathroom.

Until after getting ready, there was no notification from Arsen for Qanita. He immediately put his HP in his backpack. Then join the others for breakfast.

“Good morning brother.” Goda Nazeen's.

Qanita just cleared her throat without wanting to talk to her youngest sister.

“Darling what today it's okay you go to work ?” Maya asked a little worriedly.

“Nothing. Why did you miss ?” Ask back. “Anit does not hurt.”

“Not her body Anit's sick sister, but her heart.” Nazeen said in a style that seemed more tempting.

Just contact makes Nazeen get a view that is like intimidating. Except for the Qanita who doesn't understand.

“Haaaa, meaning. Why is the heart sick. Why me ?” Qanita was confused.

“No, that means. Kan last night brother gave a tuh answer, the abis trus his face was not good like there was something awkward like that.” Fateeh explained.

“Jeez, Anit is fine. Why-why not. Although Anit again is a bit upset with people. But that doesn't mean Anit's heart hurts. Ihhh on excessive anyway.” He said with a face holding back his annoyance.

“Already, let's finish your breakfast. What time is it. I also need to get to the office. You are also Anit.” Lerai Abdillah with her three children.

After breakfast, Abdillah escorted her two sons, while Qanita was getting ready for work. Again this morning his eyes were staring at the car that was picking up Arsen. Qanita was still staring at the car that had passed in front of her house with a faint smile. Then start to run the motor.

Just as Qanita was about to break up the street in front of her house, she was startled with a horn. So surprised Qanita was made to turn around to see who was glakson it.

“Neither people, not the same motor cempreng.” His grunt.

“Aniii. Assalamualaikum.” Greet Irtiza with a big smile.

“Waalaikumussalam.” Qanita replied with a smile she made.

“Depart with yah. Hem, hem, hem we're in the same direction.” Take Irtiza with a little flirting.

“What breakfast were you having ? It's getting weird anyway.” Say Qanita, and immediately turn on the motor.

Irtiza just looked at Qanita with annoyance, she turned on her motorbike and followed Qanita.

For a long time they drove on their own motorcycles, and now arrive in front of the campus Irtiza. As a sign of his resignation to Qanita Irtiza mengklaksonnya, the same thing was done by Qanita but did not stop the speed of the bike.

When going to park his motorbike, Irtiza was surprised by the girl with a gray headscarf and a matching color robe.

“Assalamualaikum Irtiza beautiful.” Surprise Faiza.

“Waalaikumussalam. Zaaaa you said make a surprise aja.” Reply Irtiza while stroking her chest.

“Ngot. You honked who's in front of campus.” Ask Faiza.

“Candidate sister-in-law.” Answer Irtiza ketus.

“Hahahaha, patience, patience. Lah, do you know where I'm honking people ? Irtiza asked back.

“I was behind you, so I know. I'm sure you don't know that the one behind you is me. Habits.”

“Emang do not know, it is behind me also a lot of the same motor car. Not only are you your bike.” Irtiza defended herself.

“Heeem, let's go to yuk class. We debate not finished.” Take Faiza. Then it was taken by Irtiza.

Arsen is now in his room, seen notif from Qanita but has not wanted to open or reply.

“Ndri, my schedule today what is it ?” He looked away at Andri.

“Jam nine there is a meeting with the officials to discuss the development of the company. After lunch there is a meeting with the client, and lastly there is a contract signature with the company X.” Clearly Andri while looking at the tablet in his hand.

“It looks like it will be home tonight again. Yes already before the meeting I will study these files first Ndri.” Arsenic said.

Andri just looked at Arsen without speaking a word.

After a while Andri again said “Sorry sir, it's already nine o'clock, meaning we have to immediately run the meeting place implemented.” Andri was more polite.

Arsen just sighed, and started to get out of his chair. Not to forget Andripun followed him by bringing some maps.

The morning changed, and the afternoon was now welcomed in the afternoon. But Arsen is still on his way back to his office after signing a contract as scheduled. It feels like he came home but some files must be studied and must be completed no later than tomorrow because the day after tomorrow will have to be presented. Arsen company is engaged in all fields of agriculture, not infrequently also Arsen had to go down field to see the agricultural land managed by his company.

“Ndri what time is it ?” Asked Arsen while closing his eyes and twitching his forehead.

“Jam 15:30 pak.” Answer Andri and refocus on driving.

Arsen was only able to sigh.

“Already I suspected Ndri, with papa devoting his work at the head office to me, I will be more busy.” Arsen said while looking out the car glass.

“Iya sir, I did too. Will more often face anger, urgency also gala mr.” Andri said honestly.

Arsen just stared at Andri sharply without any intention of answering. While Andri, playing his eyebrows to add to Arsen's annoyance.

***

“Ndri, already Isya. Come home, this is it too, right ? After the day of the presentation, the same employees in the field.” Arsenic.

“Iya is already sir. Father if you object to go down directly to the field to be represented only sir.” Andri's Proposal.

“Ngak Ndri, you know. If we also have to establish emotional closeness with the employees in the field. Not just in the corporate environment. The day after tomorrow let me all refreshing to green land, bosen see the same wall you mulu every day.” Arsen.

“Makanya cepet nikah, so you can squirm wife also every morning sir.” Andri said no less.

“Indeed you are already ?” Asked Arsen and got up from his seat leaving Andri in the room.

“Yes too anyway. Boss wait.” Soon after Arsen who was not seen behind the door.

They were both in the car to drive Arsen back home. Arsen suddenly remembered Qanita's message this morning. Opened HP and read a message from Qanita.

Then ? It was only a reply to a message addressed to Qanita.

Put HP back in his pocket, and did not feel they had reached the front of his house Arsen. Shortly after that he got into the house and the car slowly left in front of Arsen's house.

After receiving a welcome from his family members, Arsen is currently cleaning up and preparing to perform Isya prayers. After he went to the dining table, he found a side dish that had been prepared by the mother and her sister. Even though you have to eat alone, it does not dampen your appetite.

After eating he took his plate to the sink and started washing the dishes he used. Although there are several household assistants at the house, Arsen is used to doing this and does not want to bother others.

Upon his return Arsen to the room checked back HP and found a message notification from Qanita.

What was it then ?

“Your message has not been 24h I did not reply. It pisses you off. And what about those who wait years. But in fact I should see you with others ?” The message has now been sent to Qanita.

I wanted to tell you about my answer to him last night.

“What's in it for me to know your answer ? Do you intend to hurt me even more ? Because you know I'm weak with you, then you want to give me more ? Enough already Qanita.” Sickly and determined to stay strong even though it was not going to be easy he sent the message that was quite insinuating.

Well, I want to tell you my answer to your feelings.

Getting such a reply made Arsen sit up from his sleep, starting to digest Qanita's message. A second later his finger began to dance on top of his HP screen.

“What ? Did I get another rejection ? ah of course.”

Don't you know, you know what I have in mind ?

Again Arsen was made to wonder about Qanita's intentions. “Then ?” That was the only reply to Qanita. Not long ago he received a reply to his question.

Last night I rejected Ta’arufnya brother Rizky.

And again Arsen was made very surprised by the message from Qanita and again just the word “Then ?” which can be sent to Qanita.

Never mind, not then. It's up to you.

“While he is.” Mumbled. He thought for a moment and a big smile rose in his lips. Then start typing the reply “What does this mean I still have a chance Qa ?” and send that message.

Don't know. I'm sleepy.

Arsen's smile again rose in his lips. “Then I make sure to make the most of the opportunity. Please help Qa.”

What if I don't want to help you ?

“Means you are sinful, but you can help me.”

Congratulations to Mr. Petakilan. Good luck.

“I will succeed if you are willing to help.”

I'll try to help.

Thank ye. He said sleepy, why is my chat reply still ?

Arsen's smile unceasingly expanded from his lips. While the last message has not received a reply from Qanita.

Elsewhere, Qanita was smiling sweetly. Then he started to open his laptop to do the work he brought home.
