Unite In Love

This is what it feels like

The sun had just revealed its light, yet I was a simple girl who had to run towards the broadcast room while tightly holding onto the sandwich I bought this morning at the subscription cafe. My breath began to gasp but I paid no heed to it because I had to get to the newsroom this morning.

Lulu. What's wrong with your life? Why are you always like this, can't you live a normal life like everyone else in general? I grumbled as I quickened my footsteps.

"Twenty minutes, I'm sure I can finish everything in time." I said while carrying a bag that almost fell.

Huhhhh! Huhhhh! Huuh!

The sound of my breath beating the sound of a cell phone ringing coming from the bag I was holding with my left hand.

"Lu! What's wrong with you? Are you running again?"

There was no answer from me other than a small nod of the head. Anisa, my best friend asked while shaking her head. The strange girl flicked her lips while thrusting out the mineral water that she had already opened her lid.

"You should have followed my instructions. What if Miss Naya fired you on the grounds that you were always late."

"Don't worry, I'm not late. I still have ten minutes." I said while tidying up my head covering.

"Aren't you hot? Why did you decide to wear a headscarf if this cloth could not provide ease for your hard life? If it was me, I would have taken it off without a second thought." Said Anisa while shaking off the cloth covering my head.

Seven years ago, I decided to emigrate. I mean, I decided to wear a headdress. Not because of anyone's compulsion, it's purely from myself. No need to care about anyone's words after establishing the heart to live everything. Even Anisa always asks the same question, why did you decide this? Why did you decide that?

"Isn't this too rushed? You're not married! What if your husband rejects a woman wearing a head covering?" Nisa asked while patting my shoulder.

"Miss... Love changes a person for the better. If the love that came to me tried to change me in the way that he forced me, then by God I say. I won't accept it, and I'll definitely leave it behind." My reply to Nisa who always worried about my future. Because according to her, I used a hijab not in accordance with her modern lifestyle.

"Yes already. It's up to you." Nisa hung up her sentence while shaking her head.

There was no reply from me other than a nod of the head, a second later I walked towards the make up room. Miss Elisa's already there, she must be waiting for me to polish her pretty face.

In the makeup room, Miss Elisa is waiting for me while playing her phone. That pretty face looks upset. Is he upset with me? I don't know, I don't know that! In retrospect, what was he upset for, I came in time. There's still five minutes left of my free time.

"Good morning, miss!" I greeted him with a smile, the person I was addressing was even indifferent. I think I want to touch his head. How could this person in front of me be so arrogant.

"Lulu... Have you always been like this? Don't you see the time? Why would you use a watch if you couldn't make it on time? Basic suck." Said Elisha, frowning his forehead.

A dick? You said I suck? You suck a lot worse! If only I didn't need the money I would have left a rude woman like you. I muttered while pretending to smile.

"Miss, I tried to arrive on time. Anyway I'm not late. There's five minutes left." Reply with a slow voice.

"Are you against me? Are you tired of working with me? Seeing your face pisses me off." The rude woman spoke in a high tone.

He said he was upset to see my face? You strange woman. I could only grumble, while both of my hands were busy tidying up the makeup tools.

"Aren't you going to dress me up? Why are you quiet like a loser!"

Whoa... I'm really upset. It sucked and now it's a loser. This is why I can't hold back my emotions. I returned grumbling while breathing out a rough breath.

"Do you think you're great? Do you think you're amazing? An angry woman like you should be put in a museum so that every time you open your mouth you will not hurt the heart of the person who hears your words. A loser? A dick? It's bullshit." I said in a high voice. Once in a while I had to talk rudely to him, at least he wouldn't dare to bully anyone again.

"What, Museum? Don't you like your job anymore? You're fired." Reply Elisha, his eyes light up.

"Fuck the job! Instead of hearing your scolding every day, I'd rather resign.

Remember, you didn't fire me! But I resigned. You suck." Reply again, this time I opened my lips, a second later I left Elisha regardless of the anger of the pretentious lady.

Aaaaaaa...

Elisha kept shouting, what do I care? She's just a rude woman who shouldn't need to be around me. Because of his presence, my life became heavier, hearing his scolding made my ears feel hot. And this has not happened once or twice, but every day for the last five months.

"I can't let that pretentious witch always act rude to me. You know that, right? His words are very poisonous.

Every word that comes out of his mouth always pisses me off. And today the limits of my patience have been eroded away. On TV he was always graceful, when in fact he was very bad." My words are self-defense.

Lulu Andriana's. You did the right thing! You did the right thing by giving that rude woman a lesson! I murmured in my heart to comfort myself. Whether this decision is right or not, I can just give up and pray that everything is fine.

"What are your plans for Hus..." Nisa's words were stuck in her throat as I closed her lips with my right palm. My phone rang, seeing the name on the phone made me feel anxious.

Ssssss! My words reminded Nisa to slowly lower my hand from her lips.

"Assalamu'alaikum..." Saying the owner of the voice over there, his voice sounded worried. And I can feel that.

Did that kid cause trouble? I hope it doesn't. My chest is pounding, tight. I think my heart will jump out. I tried to improve my sitting position while hearing what speech the owner of the voice would say over there.

"Mom should come to school. Husain fainted." Connect the owner of the voice.

The duarrrrrr!

Like being struck by lightning in a hole, I was shocked amazing. How did the boy pass out? That question filled my chest cavity. And without a second thought I immediately ran away leaving Nisa who looked worried looking at my scared face.

...***...

I ran like an insane person for the sake of leaving that forty-fifth floor building as fast as I could, I really couldn't hold back my tears, my gaze blank as my focus was only one, until school.

Bruckkkk!

Just out of the courtyard of the luxury building, a car I did not realize his arrival hit me until it hit the floor.

Aaaahhhhh!

I tried to endure the pain that came from my knee. Looks like my legs sprained, I can't even stand up. The useless car owner came out while showing off his flat face. Whether he feels guilty or not, I really can't read his mind. He tried to help me while thrusting his hand, I refused while trying to get up myself.

"Do you have no eyes? Why are you so frivolous? I don't know what kind of nightmare I've had until I meet a reckless driver like you." I said without taking my eyes off her handsome face.

"Hay miss... How dare you blame me? Didn't you deliberately jump in front of my car just to get attention and compensation?"

Wahhh... My chest is really hot. I don't know where this strange creature came from and pissed me off. Does he have no mind? how dare he accuse me recklessly. I looked at his handsome face with a sharp look.

"Hi master... Don't just talk like you know me. Hearing that shit coming out of your lips makes me want to puke." I still say with great regret.

Without thinking, I got into his car. Her face as if she wanted to skin me, she raised her hand trying to scare me. Unfortunately the strange man was dealing with the wrong person, I was not afraid of anyone.

"What are you doing there? you hurt me and now you have to take responsibility. Take me to my destination." I said without hesitation.

Aissst!

The strange man was seen screaming. Because of him I lost the cab I was supposed to ride. Then it wouldn't hurt to force her to drive me to school. I knew I was wrong for forcing her, how else I had no choice.

Lulu Andriana's... What the hell are you doing? You're sitting in a foreign man's car! What if this becomes a problem later on? Aren't you scared? Look at his face! He looks very angry, his eyes look as if he wants to skin you.

Oh my... Is this what it feels like to be in tension? All my body felt shaky. Even the pain of getting hit earlier was nothing compared to the turmoil that filled my chest cavity! I said it at length but in a slow voice

The stranger sitting next to me was driving without asking anything. For a moment he stared at my knee, the white skirt I was wearing was torn off at the knee and showed blood. The handsome man sounded out sigh. Apparently, he felt guilty. I don't care how I feel because all I care about is getting to school as fast as I can.
