"Assalamu'alaikum" said greeting Akbar, who then immediately got into the car.
Slowly, Akbar's luxury car left Bu Saidah's courtyard. Just when Akbar turned the car to the left, from the right came a taxi which then stopped right in the yard of the house.
Fatiya and the mother, who were about to go back inside, stopped and saw who was coming.
"Daniel?" muttered Fatiya asked, her net sharpened staring at the figure who had just descended from the taxi.
"Fa, isn't that, Daniel?" tanya Bu Saidah who also ensured his eyesight. "Why did he take a taxi?" continued the mother with a deep frown.
Fatiya put his shoulders. "Fafa doesn't know yet, Mom. Daniel didn't say anything" Fatiya replied.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am, Dik," said Daniel's greeting with a slight nervousness. The young man then saluted Bu Saidah and kissed the back of his hand just like Fatiya used to do.
Daniel also greeted Fatiya who was smiling faintly at Daniel. "Sorry, Sister. I came here at night, there was a little obstruction on the way," Daniel said, still shaking Fatiya's hand.
"Son Daniel, is that blood?" asked Saidah when she saw Daniel's shirt with red spots.
"Oh .. yes, ma'am," replied Daniel who then observed his own clothes. Fatiya's prospective husband also seemed to have just realized, if it turns out his clothes were stained with blood from the victim of the laka then he helped earlier.
"blood? Why is there blood? What, Bang Daniel's been in an accident?" tanya Fatiya who was starting to worry about the young man who had filled his days for these four years.
"Yes, Brother. But Thank God, I'm nothing, really," replied Daniel who was used to saying thoyyibah sentences like Fatiya. "This was the blood of the accident victim I helped" he explained.
"Come on, come on in, kid!" bring Bu Saidah. "We're talking inside." Saidah immediately entered the simple house, which was followed by Daniel and Fatiya.
"Son Daniel came here by taxi, does this have anything to do with the accident?" ask the curious Mother Saidah.
"Yes, Mom," replied Daniel. The prospective son-in-law of Bu Saidah then told about the accident that resulted in Daniel's car being badly damaged in the front and had to be taken to the workshop.
"That's why, Daniel's last here. Earlier, the taxi also happened to be a long time ago" Daniel said with a bad heart because time had shown almost nine o'clock in the evening, when Daniel glanced at the old clock that was stuck on the wall, the color of the paint has faded.
The atmosphere in the alley where Fatiya lived was also very quiet, like there was no life because people prefer to stay at home watching television with family, after a day struggling with work that drains energy.
Yes, Fatiya lives in an alley in a densely populated village, the majority of whose inhabitants are manual laborers.
"Oh, thank goodness Daniel's son is okay. If only the car is damaged, it can still be taken to the workshop," said Bu Saidah who was relieved.
"Yes, you guys talk first. I made you some hot tea for Daniel's son."
"Let's just Fafa, Mom." Fatiya immediately cleaned Akbar's used glass, the girl then moved.
"Let me, you accompany my son Daniel," the mother asked, taking a glass from the princess' hand.
Fatiya could only nod obediently. The hijab-wearing girl then sat back in her place, in front of Daniel.
"Dik, what was that car, Akbar's?" daniel asked after Saidah's back disappeared behind the door.
Fatiya nodded. "Mas Akbar who had brought Fafa home, after an hour more Fafa waited for Bang Daniel to rain but Bang Daniel did not come and also did not send Fafa a message," replied Fatiya honestly, tucked a protest from his words.
"Sorry, Sister. I had no idea you were calling and texting me. When I got there, you were already in Akbar's car and you were gone" Daniel replied.
"So, Bang Daniel saw Fafa? Why aren't you on the phone?" fatiya protest. "Fafa will be able to go down immediately if you know your brother is coming," he continued with pursed lips.
'I'm calling you, Fa. But it turns out I was wrong because I did not pay attention to the phone screen. Usually, the one on the top call is your number, Daniel.
"No, Sister. Because I thought you were angry with me" Daniel replied, when in fact he was angry was unclear.
"Why angry? Why should Fafa be angry with you?" fatiya fishing line.
"Yes, because I'm late to pick you up, brother," replied Daniel. "So late in the afternoon, I was very busy. I didn't even have time to open the phone and without seeing the phone, I went straight to the showroom, but it turned out I was too late" Daniel said.
"Fafa is angry with you" said Fatiya later. "But not because Abang was late to pick up Fafa and without giving any news," he continued.
"Abang all day seems to avoid Fafa, even though there are important things that we have to talk about!" he added with a full suppressor at the end of the sentence Fatiya said.
Daniel's heart was beating fast. 'What would Fafa talk about, has something to do with Santi? Does Fafa know everything?' daniel asked with a feeling of anxiety.
