When Talak Has Spoken

Chapter 93 Meeting Old Friends

“Do not ever ask me to return,” Ajeng's voice is firm when saying it, “Please if his father Lala wants to restart.”

Bisma shook her head hearing Ajeng's words. It was hard for him to break down the wall that was built.

“Baiklah .... “ Bisma relented.

For a while he will follow Ajeng's wishes. But to back off, don't call him mystic, if he doesn't get what he wants.

Ajeng's cell phone rang out slashing the silence that occurred a while later.

“Assalamu’alaikum ..” his cynical face instantly fades with a rising smile when answering incoming calls.

“.... “

“Ya mas, we're already on the way.”

Bisma understands who contacted Ajeng. Withholding emotion, he revived his car. For the sake of Lala he will be patient and look for his weak point, until Ajeng accepts his offer.

No more conversations occurred during the trip to SMK Persada until they entered the school yard which is quite famous and in demand by students in the city of Malang.

With the help of Google map, Bisma managed to find the location of SMK Persada.  Arriving at the parking lot, Bisma went down quickly and opened the door before Ajeng could grab the handle.

Despite seeing the delicacy of his sharp eyes, Bisma only smiled as Ajeng passed by. He leisurely walked behind Ajeng who was in a hurry towards the meeting room.

“Wah, mrs Ale there is an escort now,” pak Seno as the curriculum waka has been waiting for him along with Mrs Ratih the homeroom and Dawn and Audina.

Spontaneous Ajeng turned his head, he was surprised to see Bisma standing upright behind him. He smiled not commenting on Mr. Seno's remarks.

“Seno .... “ Bhishma mentioned the name while pursing his eel trying to make sure that he knew the figure of the fat man.

The man she called approached and looked at her carefully.

“Abim ..” Seno looked at Bisma in amazement.

The two immediately embraced after a long time of not seeing each other, making Ajeng and the others just look silent.

“Abim this friend kongkow me while still white blue in Surabaya ...” Seno recounts the closeness of the two in the past.

“Alright bu Ale, we can go directly to class,” said bu Ratih when the atmosphere began to calm down.

Dawn and Audina followed him to the class they were about to enter with the props that Dawn and Audina had prepared.

After the three passed, Seno and Bhishma immediately sat on the sofa in the curriculum waka room.

“Wah, prosper you now?” Bisma said casually as the two of them were already sitting opposite each other.

“Alhamdulillah, as you see ..” Seno chuckles, “You are more valiant than our most geeky friend in class.”

Bhishma could not help but smile broadly at Seno's jokes. The two began to remember the Middle School period full of fun stories.

“Eh, have what tail?” Seno began to ask serious questions.

“New one,” Reply Bisma quietly, “Yourself?”

“Five. The first was second grade High School. Most bontot age 7 years. ” Seno said excitedly, “Still remind with Restia that we idolized at Junior High? ... She's my wife.”

A look of pride when Seno tells of his extended family. The bisma is just the mangosteen listening. He did not expect Aryo Seno whose body was most squeaky when in school is now fertile prosperous.

“Eh, I was wondering why you came along with Ale?” now a full gaze was drawn on the face of Seno who looked carefully at Bisma.

He has told a lot about his personal life and family, while Bhishma only hears without any desire to share the story. Very high curiosity he can not hide about the personal life of his Junior High friend.

Moreover, his arrival together with Ajeng without any interest and business affairs, because he knows Ajeng widow with one child.

“You're close to bu Ale?” Seno immediately shot him wanting to ascertain the prejudice that was present instantly in his mind.

Bisma smiled, not answering. He let Seno guess and found the answer himself. Their closeness in the past made the two casually chat in the morning towards that afternoon.

“Or don't-don't ..?”

“What do you think?” challenge Bisma could not help but smile at Seno's plotting on her.

“So you're her ex bu Ale?” Seno was immediately fixated with a nod of Bhishma confirming her question.

He shook his head in disbelief at the truth which was already implicitly acknowledged by the Bhishma who in his eyes was so perfect.

“Female as perfect as bu Ale his widow Bisma Dirgantara Purnama?”  Seno looked at him still with an incredulous look.

“I want to fix everything and invite him to refer,” finally the greeting came out of the mouth of Bhishma after being silent for a while.

Seno gaped at the confession of Bhishma. So long did not meet it turns out the life of his friend who had been sultan since childhood was not as happy as he thought.

“Which woman can resist the charm of a Bhishma?” Seno chuckled as she said it, “I'm sure bu Ale must have with open arms accepted your goodwill.”

Bisma shook her head with a sigh, “Instead she refused and asked me to get married so as not to bother her anymore.”

“Wait ... “ Seno gawking at the story of his blue white friend, “Sekelas Bisma Anggara rejected women?”

“That's what I want to fight back,” murmured Bisma slowly.

“You are being careful?” Seno became curious about the story of Bhishma.

He believes it is impossible for households to be divided just because of trivial problems. And most of that happens usually because of infidelity, even though in reality there are still people who survive because of the consideration of children.

“That's an old story I want to forget. We split up already three years,” said Bisma with a distant look.

“But it's true because of women?” Seno wanted to ascertain what he revealed to Bhishma.

It feels awkward for Bisma to be frank and tell her disgrace in the past. But he needs someone to pour out his place and share his anxiety in fighting for his love again.

And he was very grateful, his steps accompanied Ajeng made him rediscovered with Aryo Seno, his close friend when Junior High School in Surabaya.  He was sure, all this was a decree from the Power so that he would not be daunted in accepting Ajeng's rejection.

After a moment of thought, Bisma was convinced that Seno was the only person most appropriate for her to share her grievances, and gave him the spirit to fight for Ajeng back to build an ark that had been shipwrecked due to his stupidity in the past.

“ ... so marriage because matchmaking does not make you happy, plus you meet a widow, to double bu Ale?” Seno shook her head after hearing the curses of Bhishma.

“I am a fool!” Bisma admits honestly.

“The dumbest man I've known in my life,” kekeh Seno, “It's only natural that bu Ale refused. Women's feelings are subtle. Especially Ale's mom has a lot of fans. It's impossible for him to take you back. I'll just think a thousand times ...”

Bisma was not offended to hear the truth of his friend's words. Because he knew, among his classmates, only Seno was the most sincere.

“Then what's your next plan?” Seno could not resist his curiosity deeper.

“I was struggling to listen to the yes answer from Ajeng,” Bhishma said expectantly.

“She is worth fighting for,” Seno added, “You need to know, many single teachers here are trying to approach her. Even our widowed principal Ragil sir is trying to get close.”

Bisma frowned her eyes at Seno's confession. It was as popular as his ex in the eyes of men.

“I only wish you the best. May Allah grant what you aspire to,” sincere Seno speech makes Bhishma smile.

“Still No.” Bhishma shook Seno's hand as the school bell rang signaling the break.
