When Love Only Remains a Name
Forgive Me
Love still survives in the garden even though Alvin has left it alone. Love tries to understand Alvin's feelings. As he pondered, he was startled by Ivan.
"Well, why is he here alone?" Ivan asked, but he knew what happened because actually Ivan was there when Love and Alvin were talking again. It's just that he didn't dare to show himself because he didn't want to disturb the two of them. Ivan also did not intend to eavesdrop on their conversation but how else, he had heard all their chatter.
"Nothing, just a breath of fresh air. How was it, doing it well?" Tanya Love is excited.
"Alhamdulillah smoothly, because it is not too complicated. So I can do it easily."
"Thank God. Elsa and the others haven't come out yet?"
"Not yet, Cin."
"Ah, they must be confused about working on it. But it's their own fault why didn't they study last night."
"Already, Cin. Don't think too much of them. The important thing is yourself and don't be like them."
"Yes, Van. You're right."
"Udah adzan dhuhur. You don't want to be ready for musholla."
"Yes, Van. It's me leaving."
"Yes, come together."
Love and Ivan immediately set foot into the musholla, when Elsa arrived and joined them.
"Where are you going?" ask Elsa curiously.
"To musholla, to shollat. You wanna come?" ask Love.
"No, Cin. I'm Coming to the Moon again. I'll go to the canteen if so." Pamit Elsa, don't forget she threw a smile at Ivan. Ivanpun returned Elsa's smile to make Elsa's heart pounding.
After Elsa's departure, Cinta immediately went to take ablution on the right side of the musholla while Ivan went to take ablution on the left side of the musholla. When they finished they immediately joined the other worshippers.
-----
After the prayer Ivan and Cinta went straight to the canteen to Elsa who was fun to enjoy her food.
"Duh, who's been eating. Nawar nawar." Sindir Cinta then sat next to Elsa. Ivan also sat near Love
"Ah how to nawar, the camera was not there. Elsa replied with a smile, occasionally glancing at Ivan. " Aren't you going to have lunch, Van?" Ask Elsa later.
"No, still full." Ivan said as he stroked elus in his stomach. "You just eat a lot, let's get fat."
"Duh, I'm fat. Don't want to be fat anymore." Elsa stared at Ivan. Love is like realizing that his best friend is interested in Ivan. But he tries to neutralize his feelings, lest the growing sense destroy his friendship and love. He must remember the purpose of his school to find Science instead of looking for a girlfriend.
"El, what was the repeat. Can you?" tanya Love tries to melt the atmosphere so that she does not get carried away.
"Don't be sad, it's his own fault why not learn. Last night I was reminded to learn. Uh even said I wanted to watch tivi. Now feel the consequences."
"Yes, I was wrong." Elsa finally relented because she realized, she was wrong because it was more important to see Korean drama in tivi than to learn.
"Udah bell, come in." Love immediately ends his chatter when he hears the bell coming in. Ivan just nodded while Elsa immediately paid for the food. After that, they went straight to class.
In class, Cinta immediately picked up a book and pen in the bag. He always prepared his books and stationery before his teacher came. Unlike Elsa who is still busy chatting with friends who are behind her.
After Mr. Doni entered, the lesson began.
When Love opened the book, he saw an envelope containing a letter. He only read the letter from whom he put it in his pocket because he didn't want it to mess with his mind. Love refocused towards Mr. Doni who was again engrossed in explaining History.
After 90 minutes later, finally the history lesson salesai. Mr. Doni immediately came out and Cinta was as usual to clean up her books and stationery first.
"Come, Cin. Go home with me." Invite Elsa by chance she takes a motorcycle so she can take Love home together even though her house is a bit far apart dance the same way.
"No, Cin. I have an event today. Sorry yeah. But next time I'll come with you, go home together."
"Okay, heart of heart, Cin. What's the matter directly von me."
"Okay, you're hearted too."
"Ready, boss." Elsa immediately leaves Cinta and goes to the parking lot to pick up her motorcycle.
"You're not coming home, Van?" tanya Love saw Ivan still sitting in his chair.
"No, Cin. I'm still waiting for papa. He came home together. Maybe in 15 minutes I'll be home."
"Oh, I've gone home first."
Love immediately got out of her seat and went out onto the highway. Arriving at the side of the road, he stopped the angkot who happened to pass.
"Where are you going, neng". asked the driver.
" Al Hidayah Orphanage, sir." Cinta replied, he did not show his address just telling him where to go because he was sure the driver would know the address of the orphanage.
In Angkot there are only two people, himself and a father. Love doesn't care about it. Suddenly he remembered the letter he had kept in his pocket. I took the letter and read it..
"Assalamu'alaikum, China. It's me Ferdi, you know that, right?... Earlier, I'm sorry I was so presumptuous to send this letter to you. But honestly I don't dare if I have to face-to-face apalago talking directly to you. I wrote this letter just to express my feelings. Honestly, I liked you the first time we met. Sorry, sorry again. Maybe I don't deserve to talk like this. But I can't hold this feeling for long either. I was tormented by my feelings. I didn't ask you to be my girlfriend nor did I expect you to return my feelings. I just want you to know how I feel. That'sallthatis. All right, here's my letter. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Greetings "Ferdian".
That's the contents of a letter from Ferdi, his upperclassman and friend of Alvin. Love just breathed a sigh reading the letter. He folded back the letter from Ferdi and put it in a bag.
