Bike Ontel

The night was so silent, lights were shining everywhere like a sea of stars dotting the sky that night. Highlight the study lamp on the table illuminates a white sheet of paper that reads physics formulas. Zinda kept trying to solve some of the basic formulas that Zaydan had written for her in making it easier for Zinda to learn. Zinda's greatest desire is to be able to achieve A in Physics. For her lover to be proud of her. Sometimes, he feels he does not deserve a lover like Zaydan. However, behind that as well, Zinda was proud to have it. Because ever since he met Zaydan, his life has been like finding the light of life. When Zinda began to be fragile, Zaydan always inject motivation for him to always rise from the slump and sadness that often hit the heart of Zinda because of the attitude of Mr. Reno, his father.

"Remember,! Don't be too pushy to think" Zaydan's message from WhatsApp

"Remember,! Don't be too pushy to think" Zinda said, repeating a message from Zaydan while closing the paper full of scribbles of black ink in front of him.

One third of the night, Zaydan awoke from his subconscious. Enthusiastically he got out of bed. So that his eyelids are not closed anymore.

Now his eyes are wide staring at the bathroom glass. Immediately he sprinkled water on his face to be able to see clearly.

After purifying himself, he immediately grabbed the phone lying on his bed trying to contact Zinda.

Zaydan's phone ringtone woke Zinda up to the sound of her sleeping that evening. Zinda tried to grab her mobile phone that was on the side table where she slept.

"Wake up?" zaydan asked to confirm Zinda's awareness of the dream she might have had.

"Yes," Zinda replied in a word, with her eyes still imperfectly showing her eyeballs on her phone screen.

In a holy state, they sat down on a stretch of green prayer mat. Never did they neglect a Sunnah prayer in a third of the night. Because by performing the tahajud prayer, they feel calmer and closer to the Creator of the heavens and the earth and its contents. Not to forget, they always aspire so that the fabric of their love goes well until death separates. In between waiting for the call of Divine greatness to be echoed, they took the time to chant the holy verses.

Now, the voice of the Adhan has reverberated in every mosque with mutual greeting. The calm and soothing morning wind has accompanied the Muslims who flock to the mosque with a brightly colored mukena that makes the k²aum air look radiant face. Likewise with the Adam who are no less crowded towards the mosque with a neatly folded cocoa shirt and sarong. However, not with Zinda, he performed the morning prayer still on the expanse of prayer on the carpet of his room which he had occupied. After the prayer, He was still in the same place as the prayer ring on his fingers which he drew round and round while saying the greatness of Allah as well as sholawat to His Majesty the Prophet.

"Assalamualaikum, I'm waiting on the bridge." WhatsApp messages from Zaydan are for Zinda

With ambush Zinda grabbed her brown bag that she had prepared on the study table. Not to forget also before leaving he said goodbye to his parents first.

"Zinda left first" he said, kissing his mother and father's hands in turn.

"Then we leave early in the morning?" ask Mr. Reno curious

"Yes yeah. Want to ask a friend for help with the task, there are still questions that Zinda does not understand" he replied.

"Non't you have breakfast, son?" tukas Ibu Nita

"No ma'am, buy it in the cafeteria."

"Assalamualaikum" he continued, opening the door and moving away from home.

It looks Zaydan who is waiting for his girlfriend with his new ontel bike. Because, when he saw Kang Danu take Zinda home on an ontel bike, it was in his smart brain to have an ontel bike as well to be able to take Zinda home from school with him.

Now Zaydan began to ride his bike so calmly carrying Zinda. Accompanied by the cold drops of morning dew soaked the green grass and the yellow of rice. The cold morning wind enveloped their journey.

With the intention of heart, Zaydan invites Zinda to leave early in the morning to enjoy the morning together with his new ontel. On the way, the worms in Zinda's stomach began to sing and were heard clearly in Zaydan's ears.

A sumringah smile adorned Zaydan's sweet lips upon hearing the voice.

Zaydan's plan is within expectations.

Zaydan began to ride his ontel bike with a further path to school.

"Well, how come this way? It's getting further away." Zinda was full of curiosity.

Silence without a word was Zaydan's choice to address Zinda back then. Makes him more curious.

Now Zaydan put his ontel bike right in front of the Buk Marni soto stall whose tires are clearly displayed. Zaydan got off his ontel bike and headed straight for the entrance.

"Cock stop here?" zinda asked curiously.

"Well, you haven't eaten breakfast, have you?" answer Zaydan.

Zinda's sweet smile was thrown spoiled in response.

Zinda followed in the footsteps of Zaydan who was again looking for a seat to eat together. Now, Zaydan stopped right on a chair close to the window until the eye saw through a natural beauty around the Bu Marni stall.

Zinda's view captures an ontel bike visible on the reflection of the open glass beside it.

For a moment he daydreamed.

"Ehh .. "attend Zinda and look at Zaydan with a sharp gaze.

"Why the hell,?" his tan was shocked to make his two eyebrows fused together.

"The ontel bike was yours?" ask Zinda. Again he was surprised by something that made him full of curiosity.

For some reason, Zinda only realized that during the trip she was riding Zaydan's ontel bike.

Zaydan only replied with a nod that was interspersed with a smile.

"Thank God" said Zinda gratefully.

"Isn't that really yours?" ask again to make sure.

"Excuse me." said Ms. Marni, offering two plates of rice and two warm teas on their front desk.

"Thank you Miss Marni" said Zaydan, ignoring Zinda's question.

"Alhamdulillah," again Zinda gave thanks with her holy face.

"Udah, eat first." said Zaydan warmed up the atmosphere filled with happiness and curiosity that was wide for Zinda at the time

Sontak Zindapun put a spoonful of rice at the boundary of the lining of his small lips.

"Astaghfirullah," ambushed Zinda whose lips were overheated.

"Eat him, don't forget to read the do'a first. Don't eat that straight away. Nih, drink it." said Zaydan while thrusting mineral water at him.

Zinda retaliated with just a spoiled grimace without guilt.

After breakfast, they immediately continue their journey to school because the time is almost near at the entrance.

On a three-way intersection near the school, Zaydan pedals his ontel bike faster as time approaches. Without Zaydan realizing the motorcycle from the opposite direction was speeding away.

brackkk ...

The bicycle ontel Zaydan and Zinda were riding was lying away from those who had been unconscious with a red, wicker water splash on Zinda's forehead that hit a rock on the side of the road.

Not with Zaydan. He just lay unconscious in the middle of the road.
