Chapter 22 Surrender

Really this morning was very uninspired Arsen, he saw the wall clock hanging in the room already showed at 06:30. But still make Arsen ogah ogahan walk towards the bathroom.

While still getting ready it turns out Andri was waiting for him in front of the house, Saad who realized the presence of Andri immediately invited him in for breakfast first. At a glance Andri looked at Faiza who was sitting next to Irtiza.

Long enough to wait for Arsen, and the man was well-groomed, he put on a brown suit and walked down the stairs to the dining table where the others had gathered.

“Looh Ndri has arrived ?” Tanya Arsen ignored the others.

“Already from dawn bos.” Andri said and his hand took the bread that had been placed on the plate.

Arsen just stared at Andri and kicked the small shin of the man “Aaauw. Pain boss.” Andri.

Seeing the behavior of the two men who were adrift for three years made the entire dining table smile. Faiza could only look at Arsen with admiration and did not want to take her eyes off the man. The direction of Faiza's gaze had already been observed by Andri, even though he was chewing bread in his mouth.

After breakfast the two men leave for the office, and Andri offers a ride to Irtiza, Faiza also Azel. But the three refused, choosing to be delivered by Saad. Now the car driven by Andri again broke the streets of Arsen housing to go to the office.

“Bos, it looks like my friend Irtiza likes boss.” Said Andri while glancing at Arsen who was ogah-ogahan.

“So, I don't know Ndri. That's none of my business.” Reply Arsen indifferently.

Andri just glanced at his boss, he knew what Arsen was thinking. Although not too familiar with the issue of feelings, because from the first Andri is not too concerned with women's affairs, he only focuses on his career and dreams so far.

Andri is the only child from a family that is less well-documented. But with the intelligence and determination he has made him want to change his family's life. Until the time of Andri college he decided while working in the company of Arsen's father.

This morning Qanita was behind her desk, staring closely at the laptop in front of her. But a second later his mind was fixed on Arsen, he remembered clearly how Arsen's good intentions to preach it, but delayed somehow until when.

“Ya Robbi, I don't know how long I've been with her. Looks like I'm not ready to go back home and meet him.” Lirih.

Immediately he lifted himself from the chair and walked towards the mushollah to perform the Dhuha prayer and calm down. The glance of the watch on the bracelet, the time shows at 10:00 it means he must immediately go to the meeting room that will be held soon.

Meeting at Qanita's office until lunchtime, then he walked towards the mushollah for Dzuhur prayer and lunch. Just before he spooned the food into his mouth, he felt his HP vibrate and the name “Ibu” was on display.

“Yes, Assalamualaikum bu.”

Yes, Waalaikumussalam son, how are you ?

Thank God mom, mom, Fateeh same Nazeen how are you ? I haven't been to Anit's place for almost a week.

Yes son, that's why I called you today, I always said you were okay. But I want to talk to you. Your sister's family how are you ?

“Good buk, God willing later tonight yes ma'am we connect again, Anit should be lunch soon because the break time will be over soon.”

Yes son, it's okay. You just call me later tonight, if you're not busy.

Yes ma'am, Assalamualaikum.

Waalaikumussalam´s chat.

After his conversation with Maya, he immediately ate his food. “There's something Anit wants to tell you about with mom, but Anit has bu.” Mumbled wailing.

After finishing lunch, he immediately rang from his seat and stepped towards his study. Although she is the daughter of the owner of the office does not make her distinguish herself from other employees, for her she also includes employees although the daughter of “Mayadillah”, the largest livestock company and meat producer in her city.

He was used to enjoying his own lunch because it was not so pleasant if there were people who invited to talk for a long time at work.

On the way he met Abdillah, and called him his father.

“Dad.”

Hearing a familiar voice, Abdillah turned around and saw her daughter walking towards her.

“Where to go?” He asked when he saw Abdillah going to the exit.

“Daddy wants to farm, why ? Wanna come along ?

“Hmm, can I ? Anit still has work to be done today well.” Qanita.

“Already, let's come. Not for long. You can also watch livestock. From in the room continue, right sfor.” Tawar Abdillah's.

“Hmm, alright well.” Qanita agreed, and now her eyes were filled with the shadow of herds grazing.

Right Abdillah's speech earlier, the Qanita farm felt a little calm. Green land where grazing livestock, because it is not caged except in the afternoon and evening. His eyes are now presented by green land accompanied by the sound of livestock animals talking to each other like forming a conversation.

A wide seyum now adorned the face of the girl, and again a small hollow was on her cheeks. Abdillah, who had been talking to the company's ranch manager, now smiled as if a smile by Qanita rubbed on him.

“It's been a long time not seeing a smile that wide.” He turned and leaned his shoulders on a pole that supported the cage.

“Caaa, let's go to class. Today it is our turn to present nih.” Take Faiza while pulling Irtiza's arm that is still fun to drink her orange ice.

“There are fifteen more minutes Fa. Nanggung.” He said as he glanced at the watch and stared at the orange ice in the glass.

“Kutdai nih.” Faiza threatened and walked away from the campus cafeteria.

“Eh, uh uh, yes.” Irtiza was running a little to table her steps with Faiza.

When they arrived in the classroom, it still looked quiet and there were only a few students talking. The two of them immediately sat on an empty bench, and fused with the others, not knowing what they were talking about.

Long enough the students in the class talked until they caught a drift from the direction of the classroom door and more clearly, it became clear, it turns out that the lecturer who will teach them is breaking the road to the lecturer's desk in the front right corner of the class.

Seeing the lecturer immediately made Irtiza's throat dry so nervous when she had drunk iced orange, while Faiza immediately felt stomach pain and wanted to go to the bathroom. His lecturer's voice broke the silence of the classroom as he called out the names of the two of them to immediately present them. The two girls stepped towards the front of the class confidently to cover up the nervousness.

“Duuuh, I could have mules. Though it was the umpteenth presentation I did.” Said Faiza upset with herself, and sat on the bench of the campus garden.

“Hmm Ca.” Faiza stopped her saying and saw Irtiza who was checking her HP.

“Hm?”

“Kak Arsen kok do not know me well ?” Ask with doubt.

“Laah, you only met once aja Za, that was already a few months ago.” Irtiza said without taking her eyes off HP.

“Iya Ca, tau.” Lirih. “Caaa, you believe love first sight ?” Ask back.

“Haaa, meaning ? I still don't know what love is.” Irtiza looked at her best friend.

“Iya Ca, from that afternoon I could not make her think Ca, I tried to make my attention Ca. But until now I can't Ca.” honest Faiza with teary eyes.

“Who do you mean Za ?” Ask Irtiza.

Faiza closed her eyes and made the clear liquid from her eyes fall down “Kakmu Ca.”

“Haaaaa, Yes. You, you like Arsen's brother ? Tanya Irtiza made sure.

Faiza was only able to nod her head and wipe her tears. “I'm always looking forward to getting back to meet Ca. Yes I know it's wrong Ca, but I can't prevent my feelings.”

Hearing Faiza's statement, Irtiza stared in every direction, she really did not understand. Soon embraced his best friend, “Zaa, this is not your fault anyway. Love is true and owned by everyone. But Zaa, brother is now having problems with his feelings, precisely with someone who has been loved, preach he is delayed or may be canceled.”

“Haaa, ap what do you mean Caa ?” Faiza asked and kept her body away from Irtiza's embrace.

Irtiza immediately held onto Faiza's two hands. “Iya Za, about two months ago brother intends to menghitbah the girl he has always loved. She loved that girl long before you knew me let alone know her Za. Until the unexpected happens, but I can't tell you the details of what Za.” is Irtiza said slowly and gave understanding to Faiza.

“Who is the girl Caa?”

“That girl Qanita Zaa.” Answer Irtiza.

Faiza instantly shut her mouth unable to hide her shock. He felt guilty that he had liked the man who was also loved by his friend. “Caa, please don't tell Qanita about my feelings Caa, please. I will try to erase this feeling. I like it, humanely I want it but I will try not to like it anymore.” Faiza.

Irtiza just stared in Faiza “ask her prayer Zaa, hopefully they will soon be better and united.” Then re-embrace Faiza “ Thanks for understanding Za, thank you also because you are not selfish with this.”

Faiza just nodded at Irtiza's thanks, and increasingly embraced her best friend.

Arsen is also increasingly ogah-ogahan and not karu-karuan. He looked at it with a pile of nanar map that must be studied immediately. A second later his hands removed the spill and made Andri who was busy doing the task amazed.

Seen by the boss so chaotic, the tie that was attached perfectly this morning and hung neatly on his neck has now been urgency. With a feeling of a little worry Andri stood up from the seat and cleaned the map scattered then put on the front desk of the sofa used to receive corporate guests.

Andri's gaze looked at Arsen's chaotic face looking up while closing his eyes. Whether you realize it or not a drop of clear fluid flows from the corner of Arsen's left eye.

“Sick Ndri, pain.” He mumbled at the assistant.

Andri was only able to close his eyes and chose to sit on the sofa near Arsen's desk. “Istigfar boss, don't be like this.” Andri's Advice.

Arsen only heard Andri's words and was privileged in his heart. “Is it time for me to open my heart to another Ndri. I'm not strong enough to endure pain anymore Ndri.” His words grew louder, and tears flowed more and more at the end of his eyes that were still closed.

Again Andri could only sigh and take a flat object from his pants pocket then send a message to someone.

“We're home now.” Said Arsen and walked ahead of Andri in a state of chaos and hands holding a suit.

Andri stared at Arsen's back at a glance and followed him.

The light of dusk has been replaced with moonlight and stars. Qanita, who had just helped her brother in the kitchen, was lying on the bed looking for her mother's contact.

“Assalamualaikum bu.”

Waalaikumussalam. Have you eaten ?

“Alhamdulillah already ma'am, earlier also all help sister Shi.”

Thank goodness that's it.

“Buu, she how are you ?”

She ? who is he, son ? ask Maya who does not understand Qanita's intentions.

“Arsen bu.”

Hmm, I see she's fine, son. Insha'allah. Qanita's question made Maya smile and Abdillah also revealed her thin smile.

“Thank God mom. Ma'am, maybe it's time Anit opened his heart to another bu.”

Aniiit, what are you talking about, son ? Maya is shocked to hear her son's words.

“Iya ma'am, it looks like we will only hurt each other if together. Not only, Anit is already like this bu.”

Do you know where my son is ? Don't worry about what will happen later. Don't tell me you're gonna hurt each other while you love each other. Maya.

Qanita was only made silent by Maya's words, she did not dodge or defend herself, because it was so.

Before you decide to really open your heart to others, think carefully, son. Don't let one day regret the decision you made. Now you rest, Assalamualaikum. Close Maya

“Waalaikumussalam.” Qanita only closed her eyes after answering Maya's greeting it felt like she was tired of crying, then laid her body on the bed.
