(Not) Layla Majnun
Mosaic 25

The waves, no longer a pseudo. The strong wind, I no longer feel hallucinations. The incline, which is this wriggling I am feeling at my feet.

"Yeah!!! The beach!"

I stretched it into my two hands. The wind that was blowing towards me. For a moment enjoy the wind, water and also the land that seemed to want to fly me.

The Surya is going home, resting behind the eastern horizon. To give word to the moon to replace his duty.

"Mother?"

My eyes opened looking behind me. Mas Albi walked over to me, the twilight light made his face into a black pseudo-orange.

His shirt, fluttering back, showed the t-shirt he was wearing. His eyes narrowed, his eyebrows were attracted as it held back the blistering.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't dawdle. In a moment, adzan magrib."

"Well, just meet Mas...." My complaint

I pouted, asking for mercy on him. I put on my sour face.

"Until magrib, bye. That's home.'' His word.

I grinned happily. Mana hold him with my sour face.

"Sholat magrib here, later, magrib out. Afraid, don't hunt down the magribs on the road." My bargain

I saw Mas Albi snarling, wry. I add to my smile, and hopeful eyes.

"OKs. But, promise. Magrib is coming home. No, there's another bargain." Reply, while swinging his index finger.

"Ready, Boss!" I cried, saluting him. Still, my smile I'm not sagging.

Mas Albi let out a rough sigh. Enjoy the afternoon this afternoon. Like the world belongs to both of us. Along the coast, we are the only ones standing on the edge. Mas Albi folded his two hands on his chest, and I just stood beside him. The view ahead is beautiful, but our togetherness is the most beautiful.

"Why, those smiles?, the crotch of her smile, huh?"

"Happy, happy, long time no sunset."

Albi smiled to see me. Maybe he felt my aura of happiness. Ungodly, he looked at me, and then tore my head off. That's the thing he always does when he starts to get angry at me, and then I pretend to frown. Staring at him sharply, and wanting to reply to him. With a prick, I started tickling her stomach. Make him ticklish, then reply to him tickle it. My laughter broke, as his ignorant hands began to tickle. Finally, I ran away, Mas Albi did not want to lose. He chased me, all my way.

No doubt, when I found the coral, I took it and I threw it at him. Makes him want to catch me more.

Even though, he didn't return my clam throw. I know, he wouldn't have done that. As my legs kept running, and my eyes looked back, I accidentally hit someone's body. And in that instant, I fell down in front of him.

Bruuk!!!

The man in front of me turned his body. Surprised, looking at me.

"Girl!"

I saw Mas Albi quickly approaching me, I still did not know who I hit. Because my clothes are full of sand, and I'm trying to clean them.

"Princess shy?"

That voice, and that call, felt familiar to my ears and mind. I immediately raised my head, seeing who had just called out that name.

"That's why, don't run. Falling, right!" Albi helped me get up, and stand up.

"Sorry, yes kang. I didn't see if there was anyone ahead." This time to the man in front of me. His face was still shocked, and perhaps astonished to see me.

"Sorry, yes kang. Brother, I didn't accidentally." Replace Mas Albi, who apologized for me. I see, he's still dumb. His eyes took turns looking at me, then Mas Albi. It was as if we were ghosts, or dead people who had just woken up from their graves.

"Well, this kang, who was with you yesterday, right, Nduk?" Mas albi remembered him, despite meeting him once.

"Yes, I'm Dharma. Assalamualaikum..." His regards.

"Waalaikumsalam, his house is here?" Ask Mas Albi.

"Ah, Yes, around here. You guys, uh I'm sorry, what's his name?" Ask the Dharma. He extended his hand towards Mas Albi.

"Muhammad Qois Albifardzan." Welcome to Albi.

Kang Dharma seemed stunned to hear the name Mas Albi. But I don't think about it much. It's just, why should I meet him at a time like this. In this place anyway.

"Our grandfather's house is near here too, a neighbor of the village. And incidentally, it was the afternoon just come." Mas Albi. Why did Mas Albi explain all of this. After hearing Mas Albi's explanation, he glanced at me for a bit, then then looked at Mas Albi again.

The voice of Adzan. Make two hands that had been shaking, began to be released. The two men immediately turned to the mushola on this beach. The dome of the mosque, visible from where we are.

"Already magrib, Nduk. Come on, we're going to Mushola." Take Mas Albi.

I'm nodding. Before that, Mas Albi said goodbye to Dharma. Saying sorry once again, for my carelessness, and thanking her for offering to stop us at her house. After that we parted ways, I walked behind Mas Albi. It sounded in my ears, slowly but clearly. Kang Dharma uttered "Layla and Qois, just like Layla Majnun. How fortuitous". Hearing that, I immediately quickened my pace. Teach Mas Albi steps, and immediately take him away. I don't know, but I was hoping it was our last meeting.

"You remember, right? He was santri kang, who was with you in the entourage yesterday?'' Albi reminded me.

"Remember,kok.''

"Oh, yeah, he's also the DM at Instragam, you, right?" ask Mas Albi, I'm upset.

"Yes.'' Answer me flat.

Before Albi asked too much more. I'll go to the princess' bathroom. When I want to wudhu I remember, if my clothes are dirty with sand. And that made him Manang to wear it for the pilgrims.

Not to take the queue, I went back to look for Mas Albi. I don't know what to do, I just carry one holster and a mukena in my backpack. And it won't be enough to change my clothes.

''Asslamualikum..."

I looked towards that voice. Kang Dharma, where did he come from? Why else, he's meeting me. I darted, hoping to find Mas Albi, to avoid the man in front of me.

"So, I met your Mas. He said you need a change of clothes. All the clothing stores here are closed. And, sorry, maybe you'd like to wear this change of clothes. Mama's, me, anyway. Somewhat great, but Insya Alloh enough.'' He said while thrusting the medium-sized paper bag at me.

"Mas Albi, where is it?"

''He was taking ablution. You can wait for him, if you don't believe me"

My hands hesitated to accept. My eyes still roam all over the Musholah. Focus on the men's bathroom, hoping Mas Albi will soon emerge from there. But, it seemed like the bathroom was very queued up. Then people walked in and out, and seemed to wait in front of him. Because it was blocked by the wall, I could not see, Mas Albi had finished getting a queue or was still waiting.

"What, are you that scared of other people?'' Kang Dharma's hand went down again, sore because I haven't received yet.

I swallowed spit. Finally, I reached out my hand, asking for the bag.

"From now on, cake. Honestly, I'm not used to talking softly. So, sorry if it scares you." Kang Dharma said. After I received the paper bag, he left, before that he said hello.

''Waalaikumsalam'' My reply.
