Edo returned Ida's gaze.. Edo was still staring at him which seemed to be a mystery there.
"do you still have doubts about me Da?" Edo lowered his head in a soft voice..
"Sorry do. that's not what I mean. I mean if you're really sorry and sorry. You won't mind any reason why I rejected you.. but my principle is strong about this one problem.I do not want to give empty hope to all men Do. not just you, but every man who approaches me.. but if it's just a friend I gladly accept..!" obviously Ida again does not want any misunderstanding.
"I can understand and understand Da. I will wait until you are ready." said Edo as he reached for Ida's hand..
"No Do. Don't be like that. There must be a girl who can love you. better than me. if you want to be close to me we are good friends.. can't be more. I don't want you to be more disappointed" said Ida flat while pulling her hand...
Edo was still silent as he looked at the girl. He feels disappointed and hurt in his heart.but he also cannot force Ida to accept his love.he must respect Ida's principles. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly..
He covered his face with both hands to relieve the sadness..
Ida still sat quietly watching Edo who looked upset.he knew the man was disappointed with his decision.but in his heart he would not betray his loyalty to Ilyas.. but that was the secret of his heart.only he and Allaah SWT knew.
"Ok Da if it's your decision.I also can't force you to make like me too. Slowly I will try to eliminate this taste.." said Edo lethargic.
"I'm sure you can do. I like you too. But as a friend, I never really hate you.."
"Well Da. from now on we are friends.as long as you are not cold to me anymore..!"edo said slowly eroding his expectations after being silent for a while thinking his best..
With a bitter smile extended his hand. Ida looked at him feeling kasian had also made him disappointed, but what could be made of him not to open his heart and give empty hope to Edo. Irrespective of doubt he also received Edo's helping hand and shook it with a smile.
"From now on we are friends.There is no more hostility between us!!" said Edo quietly
"let me be your best friend Da. I promise I will still love you and take care of you even if only a friend" inner edo
"Alright, because we are better and friends.I will not be cold to you anymore Do. and you do not hesitate to confide in me.. Ok!!" reply Ida with a genuine smile..
"Ok.. alright sweet lady.. It's night let's go home!!!" take Edo with you while stepping..
Ida moved to follow Edo's steps.they went hand in hand but no longer with a cold and awkward atmosphere. Until it does not feel already in front of the gate of the princess dormitory, even though Edo hopes he still wants to be with Ida.
Ida opened the dormitory gate that had not been locked and asked the permission of the officer there.he stopped and turned to Edo..
"Thank you Do. You go home and rest." he said with a smile..
Edo was amazed by the way Ida just now who for almost more than a month drove him has never been treated as sweet as that..
"Ok. I go home first.dada.." he said as he waved..
Ida entered the dormitory and stepped towards her room. There was a sense of relief in his heart and mind that had been plaguing him all this time..
"may Edo be sincere to be friends with me" he prayed in his heart.
After cleaning up.. Ida broke down her tired and sleepy body, as usual before going to bed did not forget to grab the watch from Ilyas and put it next to his pillow.
"Yas Alhamdulillah.I feel relieved and happy.I did not betray you Yas. have you slept Yas.I miss you too.do you miss me too.. this clock is always in my hand because I'll never let another guy like me and have to let go of this clock"
The night was getting late, until it did not feel Ida was asleep in her thoughts about Ilyas.
ILYAS
As usual Ilyas and some theme organization in the platoon do the night in the dormitory. at 21 students must be already in the room and should not be noisy.
Tonight he got some offenses committed by the students..
there was a student who had just entered the dormitory 2 minutes late.. Ilyas stopped the student's hurried steps..
"Stop!!" yelled Ilyas firmly..
Students who are not aware of the presence of Ilyas stopped on the spot.he turned nervous.he realized that he was wrong but only 2 minutes lhoo.. his nervousness was even more pronounced after seeing the face of the owner of a voice that was notoriously firm, merciless and ice-cold as a block.
"Where from?"ilyas asked approaching the student..
"Ready.I'm from the outside looking for food!" the student replied firmly despite being nervous.
"What's your fault?" ask Ilyas flat
"Ready. I'm 2 minutes late!"
"As punishment you puss ap 20x" Ilyas orders the student.
"Ready!" the student quickly denied his sentence because he knew that denying his sentence could be more severe..
"One .. two.. three.." the student counted decisively until the sentence was completed..
after he finished he stood in front of ilyas.
"get ready. I've already carried out the punishment!" he shouted firmly with sweat on his body.
"You can come in!" said Ilyas no less firmly..
After the student entered Ilyas stepped towards his room because the patrol was done and his friends had also disbanded.. Ilyas was left alone because he was punishing.
Until he was in his room as usual every time he poured his body he immediately grabbed his cellphone which he always hid under the mattress..
Zaki who saw the habit of Ilyas was just smiling seductively.. "The bucin is starting to be narcissistic.."
"Don't be noisy don't disturb the imagination just sleep there" Ilyas jolted..
And his best friend just laughed a little and re-enjoiced.
"sad how you are tonight.I miss you so much. when we will meet..
what is your face like now.. "
and the thought was always in the mind of Ilyas who took him to sleep in his thoughts.
Never a day is missed without dreaming about Ida. long longs buried in his heart make him stronger to love the figure of Ida.. although he knows the risks that he will face later in the day must be dashed hope when Ida with other men.
