"bang assyam.. "
Unknowingly Salwa was in front of him.
"yes.. "
"sorry, is liya there ?" Ask Salwa who does not want to get stale with Asham.
"liya. liya was out with noha." The answer.
"later please tell me that I'm looking for it, bang. " Salwa said.
"oh, yeah. I will later convey. " Reply Asham with a beat in his chest.
"that's my excuse, assalamu'alaikum. "
"wa'alaikumussalam."
Asyam rubbed his chest while sighing and went back into the room. Instead of a shirt with a white cocoa shirt and back out of the house to go to the mosque.
On the way, a heart that never ceases to pray to the Apostle for forgiveness. The shadow of Salwa who used to be kind to him appears in memory. And how cold he was to repay Salwa's kindness only because his heart was still clinging to Asma.
Intention comes to the mosque to calm the heart. But reality says something else. There was a girl he knew sitting and ready to welcome his arrival. With a friendly smile, the girl greeted Asyam while standing up.
"assalamu'alaikum, bang." His speech.
"wa'alaikumussalam." Answer Asham.
For a moment, they were silent and staring at each other. Ainun showed his awkwardness facing Asham.
"do you need ?" Ask Asyam.
"mh.. "
Ainun thought about what answer to give, the words that swirled in his mind looking for the right place. In front of him Ainun froze. He who can behave as usual to anyone he faces, is now silent stiff.
"i'm here because there's a need with brother. " the answer.
That is what must be said, honesty that must be revealed.
"yes, please." Said Asyam who was still seriously responding to his meeting with Ainun at this time.
"mh..why...why didn't you come to teach at home ? why is my message always not responded to ?" Ask Ainun who was still with his doubts.
"uh. astaghfirullah. " Sayam said while rubbing his face.
"sorry, ainun. I'm busy." Short reply.
"my message ? Is it so busy that you don't hold a cell phone ?" Ask Ainun.
Questions that sound like a couple quarrels.
"sorry for that, that's my right. To pay it back or not."
"but it's also my right to know. Why didn't you come to my house." Ainun.
"And that's my brother's responsibility. Brother is not responsible for not coming and telling. " Strictly Ainun.
"mas assyam.. " Who a woman hesitates.
"liyas.. " Reply Asyam who was surprised when he found the figure of the girl who is now disturbing his mind.
Liya watched Ainun with a questioning look.
"You guys need to ?" Ask Liya.
"yes. Want to discuss his duties mba salwa yesterday mas kasih." Liya.
"just go straight to the room." Asyam.
Liya still gave her last look to Ainun before leaving her with the kaka. Liya continued her steps towards the secretariat room while occasionally watching the kaka who continued his chat.
"you know this woman ?" Liya asked as Salwa opened her locker.
"her friend's asthma." Answer Salwa.
"yes, don't ask anymore. We focus on our business, okay ?" Say Salwa with a smile while putting the file on the table.
"assalamu'alaikum." Said a man who came.
"wa'alaikumussalam."
"what else is it ?" He asked as he stepped in and picked up what he needed inside the locker.
"design of financial statements." Answer Salwa.
"ask yourself to the person concerned." Salwa replied as usual joking with Syahrul.
"liyas.. "
"yes.. "
"nga anything. Call ajah. " Ledek Syahrul who was immediately met with a sharp gaze by Salwa.
"out no !" Strictly Salwa while pointing towards the door.
"hihi. yes, yes. " Reply Syahrul with his little laugh.
"disrupt me." Salwa.
Syahrul came out with a small laugh still on his lips. As he went down the stairs, he saw Ainun sitting by himself. Syahrul did not want to care about it because there was no more business between him and Ainun.
The love story he once told was finished. There is no residual taste that he wants to knit again at an age that is fairly ready to get married. At this time there is one name that he wants to fight for together on the guarantee.
When the legs want to continue to step, from the bottom look Nadia who wants to climb the stairs. Ainun stood up when he found Nadia in front of him, but his gaze was not on her. But to someone who is further away from you. Ainun turned his gaze and found Shahrul behind him.
"shahrul." Ainun.
Nadia who at that time thought that Ainun was having a need with Syahrul. And found the face of Syahrul who was surprised when he looked at him, as if his meeting with the former was known by the woman he liked.
Nadia immediately stepped her feet up the stairs, passing through Ainun and Syahrul.
"nad.. " Sayahrul said that he wanted to stop it.
"i have to, I go up first. Excuse um. " Said Nadia.
"Sadr." Said Ainun who climbed the stairs to get closer to Shahrul.
Syahrul did not return his greeting for the second time. He just put his eyes straight ahead.
"you .. how are you ?" Ask Ainun.
"alhamdulillah, as you see today." The answer.
"it's been a long time since we've talked to each other." Ainun.
"sorry, ainun. If there's nothing important to talk about, I beg you to leave." Syahrul.
"she's the girl you like ?" Ask Ainun.
"excuse me. Assalamu'alaikum." Syahrul said leaving.
"wa'alaikumussalam." His reply was like a whisper while staring at his disappearance.
The figure of the loving Shahrul, which he once felt was very contrary to the present one. The figure who always cared and was kind to him, even became a tranquilizer when he was in grief. Become an encouragement in his anxiety. The figure that until now he has not found as a substitute, except for Asham who is fun when teaching him to teach.
"let's just say you know, rule. I'm always waiting for you, I always want us to be like the old us. I need you. I miss you who can always keep me calm."
"no more stories about you and me. Right now the angel I want to fight so much, I even want to take care of her heart even though there is no time for me to take care of her." Shahrul.
"if I'm entitled, I feel like I'm jealous. But love is still in my heart. Why do I tire my heart with the indistinct pain of its wound. O Allah, the All-Knowing, I leave the affairs of my heart and my love to You, O Allah. You know what's best for me." Nadias.
"Nad.. ko daydreaming ?" Salwa asked who saw Nadia only holding the report papers.
"uh.. O Allah. I'm thinking again. " Said Nadia with a small laugh.
"thinking syahrul ?" Ask Salwa who used to tease him.
"start yes.. " Said Nadia.
"yes. kali ajah. His abis was your shahrul nanyain. You must have met him outside too, right ?" Salwa.
"not really possible if you do not meet, because the new shahrul out, keep not long you enter. " hereinafter.
"yes, right ? you guys must have talked first, huh..? " Task Salwa who is still teasing him.
"salvana... " Said Nadia.
Liya just held back her laughter seeing the joking fun of these two companions.
