Between Love and Love
I love him because of God, and I choose not to be with him because of Him.

"What are you doing here?" ask Salma who just came. He was surprised to see Anton standing at the door.

"Neverything." Anton cuek answered and left Salma.

"Basar old man labile. Asked nicely instead he answered like that," Salma felt sorry for Anton's reply.

Chequek...Salma opened the door.

"Good morning every body." Salma.

Tara quickly cleaned up the remaining tears that were still wetting her cheeks.

"Lo, it's quiet. Not yet come, huh? Or are they all going straight to the field?" salma said and sat down his body.

Instead of answering, Tara immediately got up from her seat and left Salma.

"Ra, where are you going? Tara, Ra!" ask Salma who was ignored by Tara.

"So Anton now Tara you guys are why the hell. I'm so confused worried about shadowing." Shirrup Salma to himself.

After a few minutes Anton entered the room which was then followed by Tara. The two are silent and do not greet each other. Salma who saw that was astonished.

" You guys why? Just shut up. Uh, Tara, how are your eyes all over you crying, huh?" Ask Salma.

"Relga." Answer Tara.

"Anton, what are you doing Tara? I saw you guys just shut up." Salma ruffled her waist towards Anton asking for an explanation to the man.

"There's nothing." Answer Anton.

"Here you go, free to ask for an explanation from both of you. Free not to talk either. Ah, I want to go out. Here I look at sculpture cooperation again." Salma picked up her black bag on the table and walked out of the room.

A few days later.

" Tara what does this mean?" ask Salma. He shows a message from Merry telling him that Tara is resigning from her job.

"Why? Morning habits scorch themselves." Tara answered calmly.

"Lo wants to leave me? Why do you want to get out of work? Why, Ra?" Salma slightly shouted to Tara.

"Hem, can you say it slowly, no? I'm not deaf."

A sad feeling that will lose his best friend. They had worked together for almost two years even when Salma was down, Tara was the first to provide the shoulder for him. But why is Tara leaving now? Is there something he doesn't know?

"Later I tell you. Now we work first, right? Work hours are still an hour away. Oh, yes we are shopping yuk! In addition to eating at a nice and cheap restaurant, I'm the treat." Tara calmly answered Salma's question.

"Ra, you ain't nothing, are you?" salma asked again, now her tears had begun to fall.

...----------------...

Elsewhere Awan and his family are on their way to the house of the woman of his parents' choice. Without meeting the Awan had already agreed to the match. First because as a dedication to both parents and second he thought it would be impossible for himself to unite with Tara.

"Why have you been quiet since?" ask the mother who saw the clouds just daydreaming while looking out the car window.

"See the view of the mother. I haven't seen that green-green gini." The clouds lie.

" I thought you were why. You think of that woman in Jakarta?" ask the mother of the clouds.

His mother knew about his relationship with Tara. His love for the woman he hurt was so great but he could not obey his ego. There are many things that he considers to choose a woman who is betrothed to him rather than Tara. Love is not wrong and we cannot prevent when it will come and who it will come to.

"Yes, just think about Mom. No more, because I know we can't be together." Answer Cloud.

"Are you sure about that, Mom? Who knows, the woman wants to change her faith for love just like Awan. Nothing is impossible in this world." Chirps Hafis.

"Maybe he doesn't want to. He also worshiped. And mas don't want it just because his love for mas makes himself wrathful with his beliefs. As long as we are together never once mas ask him to move faith as well as him. She was like a normal friend to him but there was a feeling between us. Sometimes mas tell the story of our prophet Muhammad SAW. Even still remember when the story about the favorite daughter of the apostle Fatimah Az Zahra she shed tears. His heart is kind and he is easily touched by even the little things. His face was slightly jutek when first acquaintance with people. But when you get to know him you'll find an amazingly sincere kindness from him. I really want to be a support for him, to be a home for him really all because of God." Clouds say at length when remembering his togetherness with Tara. He looked down and the tears escaped without excuse.

His love is short but feels impregnated not the happiness given to Tara but the wounds he incised. Even the clouds can't sleep every night. Frequently getting out of the room, walk out to see if Tara's room lights have gone out to make sure the woman has slept well. How he refrained from sending Tara messages even if he only said good night or good morning. Not that he wanted to break the cord of friendship but in that way so that he could forget Tara.

"So you never asked him?" ask Hafis again.

"Ngga deck. Because also at that time the mas in the village have been betrothed. Mas has agreed to the arranged marriage that my father arranged and in a few minutes later he sent a message himself to build a relationship with me. There's nothing we might not match. I'm sincere, and so is she."

" Wouldn't it be that love is fought for? But I think I haven't fought anything." Again Hafis asked Awan and expressed his opinion about the efforts of Awan to get Tara.

" What kind of effort? If love and he's so great. For example, ask him to move beliefs does he want? Or vice versa. He asks for proof of love, and asks the mas to follow his beliefs do you have to fulfill?" Instead of answering the sister's question, Cloud asked back.

Hafis and everyone in the car fell silent with what Cloud said. What he said himself was right. And maybe parting ways is the best way for them.

"I love him because of God, and I choose not to be with him because of God. It's my decision."
