"Why talk about Aqila? ".
" Yes, I just want to ask. You have more feelings for Aqila? '.
"No, just like brother and sister, just it".
" But Aqila likes you".
"But I'm not".
Arshaka took a breath" Ra, listen !from the beginning I only considered Aqila like my sister because it was almost 7 years we were together I noticed her like I was watching Arayyan, Zyzy and Abizan, but it was the difference, indeed, ever since he was a baliq I have not dared to come into contact with him again, let alone hug. Just giving attention like a brother to his sister ".
" You do not realize that your attention actually makes him like and love you? ".
"My mind didn't get there, Ra. He got carried away feeling maybe because he was basically an only child, suddenly getting attention. But my attention and Arayyan's attention to Aqila is the same.why does he just like me, why not the same Arayyan? ".
" Yes, how do I know! ".
Arshaka gave a small smile looking at the face of Jutek Zara, very adorable, he pinched Zara's cheek with anxiety.
" Sobbing, huh? ".
" So, who's craving? ".
"That, her face pouted so, can't put that face in front of the husband".
"Lt!".Zara hits Arshaka on the shoulder making Arshaka laugh.
" I want to hug you, okay? ".permit Arshaka.
Instantly Zara misbehaved "why use permission all the way? Just hug".
"Can this? ".
" Yes! ".
"Don't be rejected huh, cook I should be diem hugging you fit again sleep aja? I also want to hug you in a conscious state".
" Let what? '.
"Let's feel more comfortable".
Arshaka pulls Zara into her arms, hugs her warmly, makes Zara feel comfortable by leaning her head against Arshaka's chest, Zara silently stares at her smile.
"Your hair smells so good, how many shampoos are there? ".asked Arshaka while inhaling the fragrant aroma of Zara's hair.
" A liter".
"really? ".
" Hm? ".
" When you're ready, say yes".
...****************...
The next day Arshaka returned to the Pesantren, Zara also joined him, because he did not want to be home alone, Abizan had returned to Pesantren while Zyzy and Arayyan were in college, since morning Zara just sat on the sofa of the room led by Pesantren. Looking at Arshaka who is focused on working, I don't know what the man is doing, Zara also does not understand.
"Mas, can I go out? Go around Pesantren".izin Zara.
Arshaka turned his head, he moved his hand asking Zara to come closer to him, Zara came closer, and Arshaka immediately pulled his waist, bowing Zara on her lap.
" M-mas".
"What is the circumference of Pesantren? It's often better to accompany your husband who's working". said Arshaka.
Zara sighed, she stared at the laptop screen that Arshaka was using, honestly when she did not understand what Arshaka was doing, she thought all this time Arshaka's job as a leader was to watch over the Pesantren alone, he thought that Arshaka was the leader, but it turns out wrong, Arshaka refocused his work, making Zara feel bored, he opened the desk drawer immediately surprised to find a lot of colorful mail envelopes.
Zara took out an envelope of pink letters, and opening it, she read the letter inside.
From:Aqila
Assalamu'alaikum, hello Bang Shaka how are you? Today is the 362nd day of Aqila in Singapore, almost a year, Aqila kangen Indonesia, kangen Bang Shaka, Bang Arayyan, Kak Zyzy, and Bizan. This is the 12th letter that Aqila sent to Bang Shaka, so that Bang Shaka is not able to get this letter from Aqila every month. Because papa ga can't hold Aqila mobile phone other than to learn. Bang Shaka is fine, see you soon!.
Zara put the letter back in, then took out a light blue envelope.
From Aqila
To:Bang Shaka's.
Hi, Bang Shaka! How are you doing? What about Aqila? Bang Shaka likes it? Good huh? Do you like paintings from Aqila? The calligraphy painting was Aqila who made it himself. 3Day, hihihihi do not forget to display on the wall of Bang Shaka's room. Aqila will soon return to Indonesia, see you Abang".
Zara puts the envelope back into the desk drawer, while Arshaka is unaware that Zara has just read the letters from Aqila.
The girl moved from Arshaka's lap making Arshaka switch to staring at her.
"Why? ".
" Gapapa, I think I want to go around Pesantren aja nyari fresh hot breeze here. Later if it's late, I'm back here, Deh, Mas. Assalamu'alaikum ".
Zara kissed the back of Arshaka's hand and immediately came out of the room making Arshaka frown confused" Walaikumsalam, Hot? Does this room have AC? What's hot? ".suit Arshaka's.
