WHEN I MISS PRAYER

Episode 68 - Don't hesitate

Restless still enveloped Salwa's heart, wanting to forget but unable to. Her more and more sikana makes her want to love him again. When the heart wants to calm down, it comes non-stop. Shake the security fence that has been firmly standing.

While where he can focus on working, joking with his friends, calmly enjoying his day. His chest tightened when he remembered about himself. The time he used to forget seemed free, when Asyam again greeted with a warm smile. Anger that made Salwa hurt, rejection that disappointed. It could still be felt by Salwa, how painful it would be to think back.

Not wanting to be repeated, Salwa took a different path, but still found Asham in it. It was even his attitude that made Salwa again feel the love she once had.

Asham throws a smile as he finds Salwa walking to work. While watering the plants, he took the time to turn towards the girl he knew. But his smile was not responded to by Salwa. Salwa just glanced at him and continued her steps.

"is he still angry with me ?" Inner Ashyam, while thinking.

"mas.. " Sapa Liya from behind, breaking his reverie.

"uh..yeah, what's the matter liya ?" Ask, turning.

"be told to lift the gallon. The water's gone." Liya.

With little sense left in his heart, Ainun emboldened himself to fight back for his old love that had been extinct. Making friends with his nervousness, Ainun waited for Syahrul while eating porridge.

Syahrul came out while tidying up the last button of a cocoa shirt. He was surprised to find Ainun staring at him. This time he was surprised to see her wearing a hijab. Despite her frequent meetings in the mosque, she thought Ainun wearing a headscarf was probably to dress modestly around the mosque. He has actually made his choice.

"someone's looking for you, you stay inside." Said Mr. Shahdan who approached Syahrul.

"yes, sir." Legally.

Shahrul approached and sat down in front of Ainun.

"what's up ?" He asked with a straight forward look that refused to look at him.

"hhh.."

"if there is no important business, I will go to the mosque. There's business." Rigorously.

"i'm coming. May ?" Ask with hope.

"it doesn't seem like anything important." Say Syahrul who began to rise.

"assalamu'alaic.. "

"wa'alaikumussalam." Syahrul answered and stared at the direction the voice came from.

His smile disappeared when he found the face of the woman who was also facing him. His footsteps walked a step back.

"Nad.. "

"astaghfirullah" Whispered Nadia.

"mhh.. father is there ?" Ask Nadia.

"neng geulis. Nyari mr ?" Ask Mr. Shahdan who appeared from the inside.

Nadia smiled to greet him.

"want porridge porpoises ?" Ask Mr. Shahdan.

"yes. As always, sir." Nadia.

"two ?"

"today's five." Nadia.

"a lot of it." Said Mr. Shahdan while preparing.

"again a brother comes." Reply Nadia who does not care about Syahrul.

As usual Syahrul helped beside the father. Nadia waited with her eyes down. Sometimes he picked up and found Ainun watching Syahrul. And the last time, his gaze collided with Ainun who was watching him.

"well, it's already." Said Mr. Shahdan while giving.

"thank you, yes, sir." Nadia said while giving money.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"wa'alaikumussalam."

"sir, shahrul stay a while." Bisik Syahrul who immediately ran.

"shahrul." Shouted Ainun who was trying to stop.

"please continue eating." Said Mr. Shahdan.

Syahrul pursued Nadia's rapid pace. Without a call to stop him, Syahrul immediately faced Nadia. Nadia was surprised as she raised her gaze. His eyes looked at each other, his footsteps stopping at the same time.

"nad.." He spoke with an audible breath.

"you ran away ?" Ask Nadia.

"nad, listen to my explanation." Syahrul.

"i am the same.. "

"shahrul.. " Said Nadia, interjecting.

"i have no right whatsoever to know your personal affairs." Nadia.

"you don't owe me any explanation." The next one that walks, leaves.

Syahrul sighed while rubbing his face and staring at Nadia's departure. He walked back to his house and still found Ainun there.

"shahrul." Sweepings.

"you haven't left yet ?" Ask.

"i. mhh. I still have something to talk to you about." Evidently.

Syahrul saw the clock in his hand.

"my situation is not good anymore. I have to go to work too." Syahrul.

"have you got a job ?" Ask Ainun happily.

"yes.."

"papa must be happy to hear that. Papa will definitely agree with our relationship, shahrul." Her speech.

Syahrul looked at him sharply full of anger. I don't know what kind of feeling it has right now. But it feels so upset, the feeling is not something that can be played. Dumped if not desired, asked to return if expected. Even eliminating it still leaves traces in memory.

"other. I'm asking you to come home now. Don't ever talk about this again if you see me." Rigorously.

"please." Syahrul's words allowed Ainun to come out.

"but. shahrul..."

Shahrul stepped deeper and disappeared behind the curtain. There was no sense left since he had determined for the one name he would fight for if fate had sided with him. Nadia was a healing remedy for the wounded shahrul at the time.

It was not impossible for her to return with Ainun. All the possibilities had been thought if Syahrul chose to remain with Ainun. The difference in treasures their parents had was very much different. Ainun had lived well and well, while Syahrul had to fight since he understood about life.

Which parent will let his child live with a man like him, who is considered unable to finance the life of the days together with the princess. Now Syahrul realized to look for a woman who will respect him and a family that will appreciate him. He's a man who wants no doubt about his leadership and responsibilities.

It was not hate, but firmness that Shahrul had to show Ainun. For Ainun to understand there was no hope that Syahrul gave him.

Nadia gets ready on her motorcycle to visit Salwa at her home. Using a helmet as a safety guard, Nadia left for Salwa's house.

"Nadia's mom." Sapa Liya who was sweeping the courtyard.

"yeh, liya." Reply while removing the helmet.

"Is there nothing at home ?" Nadia asked, approaching.

"mh.. "

"salwa has gone to work." Answer Asham who suddenly came out of the house.

"yeah.. "

"what is it gonna take ?" Ask Asyam.

"want to submit a report anyway, he rarely came. He said if there was any need to go home, he used to report at home." Nadia.

"let me give you later." Say Asyam while reaching out, asking for the map that Nadia was holding.

"makasi ya, bang fun." Nadia.

"this is a report for the opening of a new building, right?" Ask Asyam.

"yes." Answer Nadia.

"i will tell you later." Asyam.

"i'm saying yes. Assalamu'alaikum's chat. " Said Nadia to Asyam and Liya.

"wa'alaikumussalam."

"what's wrong with mas assyam, tumben-tumbenan want to deal with mba salwa. Let it be their business." Inner Liya while looking at Asham who returned into the house.
