Between Love and Love
Between the sound of the Adhan and the ringing bells.
Don't say sorry, if you don't really know what it means. I'm sick of guys like you. I'm sick of it, Darren."
"Slap me, maki me as much as you. And, let's get married!"
Byur... A cup of Salma coffee splash on Darren's face.
"Brengseek, you still dare say that disgusting word. You just left. You know I was like a madman for as long as you stayed. I feel where my fault is, I cry every night. And alcohol became my bedmate. Once I can get up you just come back and get married. Where's your brain, Darren!" SHOUTed Salma loudly.
Fortunately they were in a private room so no other visitors at the cafe saw their quarrel.
Darren was not angry, he took the tissue on the table and cleaned his face from the coffee stains. He deserved it, even more than he deserved. And he'll accept it all.
"Yes, I'm a brengseek guy with no brains. I also ran away from reality and I was a cowardly man. I can't fight for my love."
Salma sat down and covered her face with both palms. Her crying broke tears had already dripped without excuse. He wanted to embrace the man he still missed. But his hatred is also very great for what Darren did.
After cleaning the coffee stains on the face. Darren is approaching Salma. He sat down in front of the woman he loved. Then saying. "I have a reason to do that. Papa's company almost went bankrupt at that time. And the one who injects funds is his company of friends. Because the village was close and I also knew his son well, finally our parents decided to match us. His name is Sekar, in fact he already I consider a sister. About me changing that woman is just the woman I paid to pretend to be my girlfriend. I want to make you hate me. I want to make you angry and escape me. I'm sorry, Salma."
Darren pulled out Salma's hands. He saw the tears that had soaked the face of the woman he loved. He also could not hold back tears. The lie he thought was for good actually hurt Salma.
" It's all over, now we're canceling our wedding. Come on, come with me and see mom and dad. I'll tell you the truth that you're the only woman I love and I want you to be my wife."
"What is the proof that Sekar has released you?" ask Salma.
"Eat him, come with me to the house!" Darren Pinta.
"Relga." Reject Salma.
"Okay, then let me go to your house."
"Relga."
"All men's mouths are sweet but, also venomous. And I won't be fooled again" Salma said, shaking Darren's hand.
"Ne shall be deceitful, and I shall prove my words to be true."

The city of Aceh is very beautiful. Clouds and Tara sat next to each other in the taxi. Their view was directed to the window that saw the beautiful color of the twilight sky.
"It's so beautiful" said smiling Tara who looked at the window.
"Allah's creation is extraordinary." Saut Cloud.
"Yes, praise God."
"Adzan magrib. If it is still far away, then please stop at the mosque, sir!" Pinta Awan to taxi driver.
"Yes mas, it's jammed in about half an hour we're just up until maybe. There will be a mosque in front, we will stop there!" Said the taxi driver.
"OK sir."
"I'm going to church at seven. Could it be from mosque to church?" ask Tara.
"Can you not be tired? I just got home from the hospital. Can't you do it at home?" The Cloud also asked Tara.
"I didn't go to church last week. So, tonight I'm going to church. This coincidence is unidirectional."
"okay." Answer Cloud.
Between the sound of the Adhan and the ringing bells. Two people who love each other but are blocked by a wall so high. Are they able to unite, or even just let go of each other?
