A Light of the Sajadah
Eps. 9

The business alone was finished for now, he had been here for about a week today he turned to return to the capital. Decided to go ahead with what had made his life purpose.

"Be careful there, son, take good care of yourself" said his ashes while gently stroking the child's hair behind his veil.

"Baby Abi!" just say it gently After greeting the Abi with love, it is now the turn of the umi.

"Get health! Don't stay up and don't forget to eat!" His words are long-lasting.

"Of course it is Umi! Just will not forget about food," he said with a deliberately joking smile, indeed if the matter of food he will not forget.

"You're!" Just hugged the umi and he also said goodbye to aunt.

"Be careful, non!"aunt feels sad that the lady is leaving. It will be a long time before they can meet. Just hug her and smile warmly.

"And remember avoid her name boyfriend-dating!" Commemorate her mother before just getting into the car was waiting for her. Just nodding because where he wants he assures anyways he already has a lover.

Goodbye hometown we will meet in the next year if destiny still bless us the mind alone behind the open car glass he little look outside to leave his beloved residence. He did not go far and not abroad but his heart ached unwillingly. In his heart he wants 😭 but embarrassed if seen by the driver so he paused it. Then he leaned back in the chair. " I'm coming home! sorry I didn't have time to stop by the mas" just sent a message to someone other than Adnan kai.

"yeah! it's okay to be careful there remember to eat!"the man replied after reading the message from alone, he was in his room.

A few hours passed.....

"It's up to deck!" The driver repeatedly said.

Uh!"reflexes just a little.

The journey was quite long until the afternoon he just arrived, causing him to fall asleep well in the car.

Just been outside. After paying the fare he walked to a house where he had lived all this time, after passing through a small hallway about 20 meters from the highway.

Uh! Just as he threw his body on the small mattress, his eyes focused on the ceiling of the room. Tired of traveling too! This is not how if he wanders abroad it takes a long time. Actually he wanted to work abroad after graduation if there was a chance but he thought again if working in LN was not a little time. And besides, he will not be able to withstand extreme weather. Ah thinks of her so dizzy she chooses to clean her body then take a moment of rest.

In the morning just rush to the campus after being inside immediately maybe up the stairs to his room, but accidentally he hit someone to make his book fall.

"I'm sorry" said the man, a man just helped take his book.

"It! said the man but for a second maybe the man was silent to see him, "belimahkasi," his reply.

"Sorry I wronged me! He said once more while putting his hands together as a form of apology before leaving. But there was no answer from the man. Because I don't want to be late to leave.

"He was a student at this college!" muttering the man stared at the back alone that had passed, she was the woman who made her heart pound that day turned out to have the same campus as her, coincidentally or her destiny. The man stared at the woman's departure, there was a sense of admiration.

"Just go to the canteen!" Invite Karina, just now she wants to invite her, just stand first" come on! I've been starving since!" His words interspersed with laughter while holding his stomach showing his to friends.

"Tumbin!" Karina raised her eyebrows just looking at the one who was so greedy eating her. Only just mangut-mangut while enjoying SOP yam made by Mbah ati which he thinks is the top. It was his favorite meal he had eaten during his last year.

"Slow dong! Said Karina pouting to see the mouth of her friend who was full of joy. He could only sigh at her and eat her food as well.

......................

"Since I go first, well" said Karina immediately outside her room, she passed by leaving alone who was also ready to leave because the teaching hours were over.

"Yes" just stepped away towards the campus library he intended to search for a reference book for his research, he looked at the watch in his hand and it showed it was still Afternoon before he went to the mosque first to do his duty.

Just been at the table with the book he had collected and he opened it and began to read it little by little.. Without him realizing since earlier what the man in the corner there was looking at him seriously the man looked admiring, even very, very. This is his third meeting. Not meeting! The third time he saw the woman. From that moment in the small town and the moment it hit her, then this one she was purposely looking for a chance to be able to see her again, he accidentally looked outside the mosque and he followed it and pretended to read a book as well. Why did he have such thoughts but his heart felt at peace. All this time he was unaware of his existence. Probably because he is an alumni of this college. During this time he was busy with his college eyes even ignored some women who liked him, there are some women who are willing to do something to please but he always rejects it but this is different precisely he himself secretly to see the woman who he thinks is special. Sweet ayu face, Langsat skin according to him it is very beautiful itself in his eyes. Whether it is love at first sight or just an admiration for it. If about to admire since the first time that time he has admired her. Without realizing it, he stood up from his seat and kept the book. Quickly the man also stood up and followed.

"Assynnya!"

"Assalamualaikum deck!" Call her once more because the woman she followed secretly did not hear her.

"Waalaikumussalam sorry mas I think talking to anyone" just realized after seeing no one but himself here.

"I'm talking to you," the man smelled his smile.

"Sorry! What's up, huh?" Just ask very curiously he does not know who this man is, but he can see that this man is also a student at his college, moreover, he saw it earlier from the glass of his phone when he played it earlier when he went outside. And he forgot that he had just met this morning.

"you remember I didn't!"

"Include my name rehan, the man on the stairs," the man stared fixedly but not too conspicuously to see it.

"yes, I just remembered,"a small smile after remembering her.

"What's wrong, mas?" just ask confused, why is this man here and invite him to talk.

"There's nothing! oh yes you live where, let's go home together," he asked, he hoped to take this woman to get to know her more closely.

"I'm sorry, I didn't refuse, but I don't think it was her house that I took away."Saja tried to refuse subtly. not that he did not like this man but indeed because the place he lived in just needed to walk had arrived. They also do not know each other.

"o well sorry to bother, I'm sorry" said the man, passing by, just nodding and smiling a little.

"God! I forgot what his name was!" the man said after being in his car and it was gone.
