Auristela (Mu'Alaf Beautiful)
Friendship
The days change weeks, now the months change and the months change again. Auri returned to her work activities. She also started paying bills for her divorce hearing. Yeah, at that time Kelvin paid for everything. And that made Auri feel uncomfortable. He also sent back the money given by Kelvin through a pesantren management account.
Auri really does not want to be related to Kelvin even if only a little. He did not want to remember that painful time. For him life must continue to move forward, not to look back. Because, when walking, if you look back, it could make you stumble and fall again.
His life began to improve. The tranquility of the soul has been obtained. He has also started again for his Qur'an memorization. One desire that is still not so steady, namely the veil. Auri wanted to wear it. Not to hide, but to protect himself, and to practice the sunna.
Every tahajud, always pray want to wear a veil immediately. Until finally, two more days Auri invited in the show I-talk show a national tv, Auri also ventured to wear a veil starting from a few days ago.
"Auri's so pretty with that veil." Goda Endah, one of his team.
"Astaghfirullah's. You don't do that. I'm so scared." Answer Auri.
"Well, I'm scared. Doesn't that woman like to be praised?" Andi is the editor on her team.
"Indeed women are happy to be praised, ndi. But, different from me. I'm afraid of compliments, because they can make a person feel proud and ultimately arrogant. Sometimes too, the more often praised, the more exaggerated man will be in displaying what is usually praised by others." Auri explained to Andi, Endah and four other members of his team who were gathered to enjoy lunch.
"O is that. Ok, next time we will be careful in praising someone." They almost spoke together.
"Are you sure you want to be on that talk show?" Ask Widia.
"Lazy actually, mbak. Kan Kelvin same Marsya also ever present at the event." Widia replied that it was brightly not like Kelvin and Marsya.
"What's the connection, Wid. I'll take the invitation anyway for your extra paychecks." Reveal Auri who finally made them all speechless.
Yes, they did agree with the salary that was not much from Auri. Because their income from content is also not too much. But enough for the life of Auri and her six teammates.
"Honestly, I said. Actually to pay your salary this month is still less. That's why we have to work harder and more vigorously, dong. Aye right?"
"Yes, mom. We'll always be with Auri." Widia smiled as well. Then they made a tos together, then ate lunch.
During the nearly four months of working with Auri, the six people were happy. They work as if playing. Auri always takes them on vacation when not so much work. Auri is also very tolerant, as Widia and Digo differ in beliefs. At first they were afraid to work with Auri, because Auri looked very religious. However, after getting to know her closely, Auri had never even compared compare.
He was once part of both. That's why Auri can be good friends with them and also Mia his best friend. After all, for Auri all humans are the same especially when they have good traits. As long as they do not mock each other's beliefs, then they can be friendly.
Maybe a friend of a teammate considers Auri the employer. But not with Auri. He thinks they are friends, friends and family. Therefore, Auri always played with them, not like employees and superiors. But, like a true friend.
