(Not) Layla Majnun

(Not) Layla Majnun
Mosaic 39


Ahead of the group magrib has arrived at Rest Area Km 575 B Ngawi. The santri are encouraged to rest for a while while waiting for magrib.


In addition to extensive parking, in this rest area also prepares a variety of travel needs travelers. From food outlets, minimarkets, places of worship, security posts, toilets to SPBU.


My feet came out of the bus. My eyes immediately looked for Layla. He came out earlier than me, along with his fellow students.


As wide as the eyes looked at me I did not also get his figure. Maybe he went to the bathroom, or was looking for a place to rest.


I stepped my feet by watching every place. Some friends are looking for a coffee shop, and also a place to eat.


At a food stall, I found Layla along with one of her friends. They were sitting on one of the benches, the dining hall. Maybe waiting for an order.


I close my smile when she sees me. Not that he turned back, and pretended not to see me. Finally I, too, entered the store. Find a place close to him. When I found out that I intended to get close to him, without further ado he immediately invited his friend to leave their bench. I sat in a place close enough to her.


I saw him staring at me intently, before he sat back down on one of the chairs close to the glass window. Once again, I put on my smile. Patience Dharma, she really is a daughter of shame, who does not like to be held. Even if touched, he would hide his face. That is, she is the girl I adore, with all her charm and self-respect.


For a few moments I no longer noticed. I stepped away from my place, and I did not seem to myself anymore in front of him. I wonder what he's gonna do.


My smile broadened as the tail of her eyes began to look for me. He stared at where I was, and explored the entire room. I could see it clearly, from behind the snack rack near the cashier.


His gaze stopped after a servant presented his order. He then focused on the dish in front of him.


While observing himself. I ordered a cup of coffee for myself. What exactly am I doing now? I've never even done this before. The feeling of enjoying her face made me not stop smiling.


Someone gave me my coffee order. Just then, his friend asked permission to go to the toilet first. He still continues to eat. My ignorant soul thrashed, wanting to surprise himself.


I walked up to him and sat directly behind him. More precisely, behind him. I realized his shock, but I casually placed my coffee on the table in front of me.


He looked up at me, probably wanting to protest, but not daring for fear of anyone seeing our interaction.


"Princess Shame, are you okay?" ask me. My eyes glanced at her, I gave her a smile as well.


"Stop calling me that. That's not my name," he said.


Although with anger, I am relieved that he is no longer indifferent to me. He began to answer my questions. His eyes again highlighted sharp, ayu face made fierce. The more it makes me, interested in wanting to keep working on it.


"I like it, it's a special name for yourself." My word.


He was silent, his eyes began to lurk at the direction of the female toilet in the corner of this booth. Maybe he hoped his friend would come back soon and I'd leave quickly. I don't know what happened to that friend. But I'm grateful that he didn't come back.


"I got a message from Mas Albi_"


Hearing her brother's name, she immediately turned her head towards me, staring at me without pause. I was a little nervous at that look, not to be distracted.


I think only the name of her brother can knock her silence and indifference. The proof, he immediately wanted to know about what I was going to say.


I don't want in my approach, in the veil of many lies. In order to find her trust, I showed her the contents of her brother's chat. He stared at the phone, reading it with a mimic that I didn't know what it meant. Right now he's not even taking a single glance from my phone screen. I feel jealous of my phone screen. Even I've never seen him like that.


"Do you want to call her?" ask me. A second later, those eyes just turned to me. There were sparkling eyes, then dim. He was still silent, yet I found hope in his eyes.


"Can, really." Add me.


Maybe she feels sad if she has to call her sister on my phone. A streak of doubt flashed clearly on his face. Waiting for him to think I hit Vidio call Mas Albi. Connect, and connect directly.


"Generic, Dharma!" Greetings from Albi. On the screen, there was a smile on Mas Albi. He's changed, put on a Koko suit and a sarong. His black peci had already quarreled above his head.


Lyrically, Layla, she was staring at the phone screen. No more caring about the food in front of him. My screen hasn't been pointed at Layla. I still control it myself.


"Layla is together, you Dharma?" ask Mas Albi. Maybe their bond is very strong. I haven't talked about Layla yet, but she thought I was with her.


"No, Mas. I haven't seen him yet." Answer me. While furrowing my eyebrows. I put on a flat face, so he wouldn't know if I was lying to him.


"Who? Didn't you go where he went?" ask Mas Albi. From his voice, he started to growl.


I glanced at Layla, she was already pouting. His lips had already advanced forward, pursing. Not daring to speak, just directly looking away. Even so, he still stole my talk with Mas Albi.


"Indeed I have to follow where Layla goes, huh Mas ? She wanted to, but I don't think Layla would." My timpal. I complained to her brother. Let him not misunderstand, if the time with him now is also because of his brother's wishes.


"Oh, so, now he's not with you? You don't know where he is?" ask Mas Albi. His face began to worry. As if it was a fatal thing. Looking at her worries, made me soften. With one move, I pointed my hand, approaching towards Layla. Appearing, the form of his sister on my phone screen.


"Alhamdulillah, I was working!" The Mas Albi. I chuckled at her frustration.


Layla was already smiling in front of my phone screen. An expanding smile, which he had never given me. Boro-boro smiled like that, just a wry smile, she never showed it to me.


I handed Layla my phone. She hesitated, but saw her brother on my phone screen. Finally, he killed his ego, and received my phone.


To make it comfortable. I went somewhere else. Not leaving himself, just making space open for himself. She was so happy at this moment, she was also like a rose that was bursting with beauty.


There will be a time when we will meet. Seek each other out, and then sit together in one chair. Joking, sharing stories and also grief. Throwing smiles and laughter.


For some reason, my faith in Layla is very strong. She is the girl who will be the mother of my children.


"Gus!!!" Sarip. I chuckled for a moment, almost the coffee in my hand fell.


"Yengan (You) just smile at yourself, tho?" ask Sarip curiously. He followed my eyes, and instantly found Layla there.


"Oah, see Najwa again?" guess it.


I told him to leave immediately, because he, already disturbs the scene.
