Watching You With Do'A

Chapters. 11: Fighting to Forget it

This morning was the last day of the exam, and Aida really felt sad because after today she would not be able to be reunited with Gus Umar. Because Aida decided that she would soon be the boyong of the pesantren, for the good of all.

Aida felt sad, because the other day Gus Umar had openly expressed his feelings, while the two of them could not possibly unite.

Along the way to the school which is still a complex with pesantren and kyai Abdullah's residence, Aida continued to think about the words of Umar gus that morning. "... I'll keep your name in my heart,"

And the sentence continued to ring in Aida's ears, sounding beautiful if only they were two lovebirds who might still be united, the sentence sounded stifling because it was spoken by someone he could not reach.

"Da, if your sister's match is cancelled, you'll be my sister-in-law?" Laila asked softly, but was able to make Aida surprised and realized from her daydream.

"Sst, why are you talking like that La? Pamali knew La,, no, no not a good idea" protested Aida, reminding her best friend not to talk bad.

"I'm not wondering Da, I'm talking about what's going on. Brother Umar spoke to me last night, he said in Mecca later brother will pray for you to be a match, and brother will also talk to you, about the feelings of brother to you Da," replied Laila, while looking at his best friend.

"Don't La, please tell your brother Umar that he doesn't do such a stupid thing La?! Don't say anything to you, I don't want to be worried about this. Please La, you prevent it?" Pinta Aida is hopeful.

"Oh la part, Zahra's ustadzah is very good La. and he is very suitable with Umar gus, right?!" Aida continued while staring at her best friend, and from her gaze implied that Aida uttered her sincerely.

Laila snorted in annoyance, hearing Aida praising other girls, even saying that Zahra's ustadzah was more suitable for her brother. Because for Laila, her sister only fits with her best friend. "I don't think they both fit!" Ketus Laila's.

Aida took a deep breath, and blew her slowly. "We've arrived, and there we go. I also want to go to my room," said Aida when the two of them had arrived in front of the exam room Laila, her sense Aida had been lazy to discuss about her feelings and also about Gus Umar.

"Sit here first yuk, there is still ten minutes," refused Laila and then sat on the bench on the terrace of the room.

Inevitably, Aida also sat down even with a heavy heart.

Laila was still talking about her sister, about her brother's intention to really seriously fight for Aida. But Aida was silent, and did not respond to the conversation of her best friend. "Dengerin aja Da, and do not you enter into the heart, so that you do not expect too much at the effort of Umar gus," murmured Aida in the heart.

Enough is enough that Aida feels pain by knowing the fact that her love ran aground in the middle of the road, and he did not want to add to his heartache by hoping that they would unite and that the match between Umar and Zahra ning was void.

A bell rang, and stopped Laila who had said many things about the possibility that her brother and his best friend could unite.

"La, I'm going to my room huh," Aida immediately got up from her seat.

"Yes, later go home from school do not forget. directly to the house yes, help me pack clothes," said Laila reminded her best friend, because Aida has promised to help Laila prepare everything for her needs to leave umroh tomorrow.

Aida nodded and immediately passed towards her room which was at the end.

Throughout the task, Aida felt unsettled. His mind could not be compromised to concentrate on just thinking about this exam alone, but the shadow about Umar and his love statement continued to mill around his head. Until Aida momentarily closed her eyes, trying to throw away all the heartbreak and its causes.

After a few minutes Aida was silent, she continued to work on the final exam in her hands, and when the time-sign bell had ended rang.. Aida had finished the final exam in time.

Aida then leaves her bench following her other friends who have already first dropped out of class. As soon as she got outside, Laila greeted her with a beaming face.

Aida just smiled, and then the two beautiful girls passed by leaving the school with their own thoughts. "my struggle even just started La, the struggle to be able to forget your brother and heal the wounds of my heart," aida's murmuring in the heart.

The two beautiful girls continued walking, returning to the residence of kyai Abdullah.

When they arrived at Ndalem, they went straight through the side door because it was like kyai Abdullah was receiving guests.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said his second greeting simultaneously.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, "" replied Umar who happened to be going out through the same door.

"Have you come home?" Ask Gus Umar, who does not need an answer because Gus Umar knows that today the younger brother has only one test. "It just so happens, accompany the shopping sister for the day after tomorrow. so we can all pack, because later tonight the suitcase must have been delivered to the agency office," pinta gus Umar to his younger brother.

"Yes, Laila, there are also some items that you want to buy. Wait a moment, brother, we change clothes first" Laila replied enthusiastically.

"Dik Aida is coming?" Pinta gus Umar, a glance at Aida who immediately lowered his head.

Laila immediately dragged the arms of her best friend to get ready.

"I still hope, we can be together someday dik," murmured Gus Umar, while staring at Aida's back that was getting away.

"La, I don't have to go with me," Aida subtly refused, after the two reached Laila's room.

"No, you have to come. I like to forget what I have to buy, if there's nothing you remind me of" said Laila, who wanted Aida to stay.

"Can you take La first, what do you need?" Advice Aida.

"Ah, at last, my sister is waiting. Nih, you change clothes too," Laila took her change of clothes for Aida, their clothes were the same size and they also often exchanged clothes.

"You're a habit, La, you have to start learning not to depend on me, La, you're going to college, and you're going to be away from me?" Aida tries to advise her best friend, who indeed relies on her more often.

Laila is indeed a spoiled girl, a little bored and can not be neat like Aida. That's why he always needs Aida, to remind him in many ways.

"Have you promised me that we would go to the same college? Don't tell me you're gonna run away from me?!" Guess Laila, who seems to know that her best friend will indeed go as far as her brother's life, because if the two of them are still together surely Aida days will always hear the name of Umar gus called by his sister.

"Well, are you ready? Let's go, "take Laila, holding her best friend's hand.

"O Allah, why is it that when I want to struggle to forget, you bring us closer by often meeting us and giving us the opportunity to continue together?" Aida muttered inwardly, following Laila's fast-moving footsteps.
