Tidying Up Asa, Inviting Hidayah
111. Special Gift part 2
🌵Women's heart will melt, will be a sincere gift.🌵
Jenar looked at Hara who was casually smoking while occasionally sipping iced tea. He did not run out of thought, how a man like Hara could have an idea of giving gifts beyond estimates. The contents in the box are clothes, hijab, watch, bag, or other items that are commonly given by a man. Not a small thing that he already had a lot at home.
“Why did Pak Hara give this to me?” jenar asked while closing the gift box given by Hara.
“I think it is an item that you really need,” replied Hara after hissing exhaling cigarette smoke slowly.
The man then flicked a cigarette over the ashtray, so that the ash at the tip of the mouth fell. Just he continued the sentence, “Kyai Ali once said that if you give a gift, is an item that is needed or at least can be useful long term. So, not only just the eyes, but also can be used all the time. Thus we can continue to get the reward.”
“Kyai Ali said like that to dad?” Jenar felt doubtful, because it was impossible for a cleric like Kyai Ali to suddenly give advice to a Hara.
Hara shook her head, “No, anyway. I heard when he filled out the study some time ago.”
Mangosteen strings, “From where do you know I need these items?”
Hara smoked a cigarette, then turned her face when exhaling the smoke so as not to hit Jenar.
“Because as far as I know, you often come home from college raining, never bring an umbrella and the next day Saysumi mama hangs your shoes. Maybe you don't have an umbrella and sandals.” replied Hara.
Jenar lowered her head, hiding a smile. There is a sense of haru running the heart, only this time there are people who are very attentive to it. Even a small thing that escaped his own attention. Inevitably, he was touched by Hara's concern.
“You are a prospective health worker, will be a helper of people's safety later, but health itself is not cared for.” Hara grumbled.
“No matter the health, sir. I just don't want to bother carrying an umbrella, because my bag is heavy enough to carry books and other college supplies. No longer fit if you have to bring an umbrella, let alone sandals.” Jenar.
“If only add an umbrella and sandals, I don't think it will be too heavy. After all, the two objects did not weigh up to one kilogram,”, said Hara.
“Try thinking! Which is better? You bother carrying a heavy bag because of the increase in umbrellas and sandals or every day you are rained and eventually sick. Yes, if only an ordinary wind that has been healed for three days, what if there is an evil virus that stops by with rain water? Influenza, diarrhea, or thypus, for example. If your bag is heavy the most troublesome and difficult to carry it is just you, but if it hurts many people who bother.” Hara was like a father lecturing her son.
Jenar exhaled, then sipped the drink with a straw. His ears suddenly felt hot, because he had to listen to Hara's words. He felt like a child being advised by his father to not be able to answer every word that was thrown.
“True?” call Hara.
Jenar who was playing a straw in a glass, looked up. Seeing Hara's serious face, even to the point of turning off the cigarette, he immediately placed the glass on the table. Waiting for the goods the time the man wanted to say something important to her.
“Are you going to bring those two items if you're away? Like you always carry your faith and books everywhere?” ask Hara seriously.
Jenar thought for a moment before answering, “Ehm .. insyaalloh. If not forget.”
“I remind every day, let you not forget.” cut Hara quickly.
Jenar smiled small, “Indeed Mr. Hara has no job, want to ngingetin me every day. Only for carrying umbrellas and sandals.”
Not Hara if you don't have the answer to every question cornered, “That would be my additional work now, ngingetin you don't forget to bring an umbrella and sandals every time you want to go. If necessary, I write on the exit of your room, so always remember.”
“As for you,” said Jenar resigned with Hara who always could not be debated. He took a glass, sipped a drink that stayed a little.
Silent. Jenar and Hara were silent to each other. They moved to sit outside the tent, because visitors increased and the place in the stall was not enough. The seller offers a place outside the tent, so they can enjoy the dish while looking at the traffic on the highway. Not only that, the sounds of people conversing, the smoke billowing from the frying pan, the smell of food were appetizing, blending into interesting harmonies within the simple tent stall.
Hara looked into the stall, and it seemed that some people were enjoying a simple meal. Some come alone, with friends, spouses, even family. In this not-so-broad place, he could feel an aura of happiness and togetherness.
The same with Jenar. He never thought, that Hara - people who always look neat and have a luxurious circle - could actually eat in a narrow place with commoner-style dishes in general. Moreover, the gift that the man gave was trivial but he thought it was very special. Only this time there was a person who gave a gift, thinking about his needs. Inevitably it also touched the deepest recesses of his heart, until he almost forgot the event that had disappointed him.
“Pak Hara?” Jenar called after a few jokes just silently.
“Heem,” Reply Hara.
“Are you not angry with me?” asked Jenar hesitatingly.
“Is there a reason I am angry with you?” Hara returned the question, not yet fully understanding the direction of Jenar's conversation.
“Maybe Mr. Hara was angry because he had to chase me. Sorry because I interrupted my father's meeting with the woman,” jirih Jenar while looking down. He tried hard to gather strength to admit his mistake, “I'm sorry ...”
“What do you mean?” Hara frowned, completely clueless as to what Jenar was saying.
“Ehm ...,” hesitates Jenar repeated her sentence, “Women who were with Mr. Hara at the mall earlier, should have lunch with him, right? Then take her home, not even with me like now.”
“Oh! About that,” Hara began to understand the direction of the conversation Jenar, “He brought his own car, has already memorized the area of Yogya compared to me. After all, there was a personal assistant accompanying her, so why would I drive her home? We just accidentally met.”
Jenar nodded, Hara's explanation was not enough to make her feel guilty as well as her spirit was gone. However, he still felt to be a destroyer time together Hara and the woman. On one hand the tightness of seeing the familiarity of the two of them still felt in the heart.
“She came to wait for clients while having lunch. Because I haven't eaten and waiting for you to finish praying must be long, so I agreed to be invited to the food court. I think, you can also all eat finished salat.” Hara added an explanation.
“Father need not explain to me what he came for and who he is,” Jenar refuted Hara's explanation just like that, before even getting to the end of the sentence.
Hara smiled, when she saw Jenar's face look riled up. If possible, he expected Jenar to be jealous of Cecilia, but it seemed too early to conclude.
“While I have prepared an explanation, you know. Maybe you're misunderstanding me and him.” Hara said lightly.
Jenar shook her head violently, she did not want Hara to explain anything, because worry was not what she wanted. However, of course Hara did not just stay quiet, she felt she had to explain who the girl Jenar meant. So that there is no misunderstanding between them.
“His name is Cecilia, she's my cousin. We are familiar because since childhood together, even now he lives in my house if he is in Jakarta.” explained Hara.
Jenar looked up quickly, surprised that Hara explained the relationship with the woman. For a few jokes he just kept quiet, listening to Hara's whole speech carefully. Then he became wrong because he had mistaken the man.
Hara watched Jenar while smiling meaningfully. In the heart appeared a light of hope, a chance to fight. The gift he gave to Jenar was not a luxury item, but it could be special because it was given sincerely and at the right time. Eliminate the wrong prejudices that have approached.
