BROMOCORAS
Sobri's Heartbreak

"How are you, brother?" Ask Ajimukti to Ajeng while sitting enjoying a cigarette in the living room of Prastowo's house. Ajeng who was sitting next to his mother immediately looked up and slightly looked at Ajimukti, looking a little awkward.

"Ba.well, Kang. Kang Aji himself how is he?" Tanya Ajeng flipped.

Ajimukti smiled, "Alhamdulillah as you see, Sister."

Ajeng then simply replied with a smile as well as a slightly held nod.

"Possibly in the next two three months the building santriwati is ready to be used. The pesantren have also planned to open registration for students who want to stay here once the building is ready for use. Later when you're all ready, you can help me there, right? I really hope your science is there?" Say Ajimukti later.

Ajeng then nodded, "God willing, Kang. If it is knowledge that I have been able to find useful, there is no reason for me to reject it." Sahut later.

Ajimukti was quite satisfied with Ajeng's answer, "Later you are not alone, Dik. The plan I will also invite Habiba also my nephew brother from Jogja." Say Ajimukti afterwards.

"Daraba, Kang?" A slightly frowned upon hearing that name.

"Yes, Brother. Habibas. You guys are good friends, right? So it will be easier to socialize later." Ajimukti.

Ajeng smiled a little, honestly he was happy with Ajimukti's plan to invite Habiba to teach at Pondok Hidayah later. However, during his pesantren in Pacitan, he and Habiba are always together, they are even like brothers, of course this will make them not need to adapt again later.

Different from Ajeng. Sobri actually felt worried about all that in the future. However, Ajeng's feelings towards Ajimukti are still so pronounced even from every movement and his gaze towards Ajimukti. Silent silence Sobri sighed. He dismissed all his thoughts, he was sure, going forward, with Ajimukti had decided this, of course with all consideration, and must have found a solution for all his decisions.

After a long time of talking and chatting, Ajimukti also resigned from the Prastowo house.

"Then I'm the same Sobri excuse me first, Lek. I still have to check out Lare Lare." Ajimukti concluded his conversation with Prastowo this morning.

"Yes, Mas. Please." Prastowo Sahut.

"One more time say thank you to our family for Miss Nyai Kartika ya Mas Aji for by her. Give our regards to him too." Sumiatun Imbuh.

"Yes, Miss Lek. I'll tell you later." Sahut Ajimukti.

Ajimukti will soon step out of Prastowo's house.

"Before, Kang Aji..." The call of Ajeng arrived to make Ajimukti stop his steps and return to rotate his body. The call of Ajeng also made Sobri's attention, Prastowo and Sumiatun immediately turned to him.

"Sorry, Kang Aji. Emmm, can I borrow Kang Sobri's time today. I have to go to town. I intend to take Kang Sobri with me. That's also if Kang Sobri's not doing anything." Say Ajeng then.

Ajimukti smiled, he then nodded. But Sobri, immediately swallowed to hear Ajeng's words just now.

"Please, Sister. It just so happens that Kang Sobri is loose until Azar later. Yes, Kang Sobri." Say Ajimukti while nudging his elbow to Sobri.

Sobri was a little nervous, "I.iya, Gus." Said later.

Ajeng immediately revealed his smile. "Thank you, Kang."

Ajimukti smiled then nodded.

"Then Kang Sobri is here waiting for Dik Ajeng to be ready. I'll just go back myself." He said to Sobri.

"I'm with you back to the pesantren, it's okay, Gus. I'll be here again." Sobri Sahut.

"It's not necessary, Kang. I went back to the pesantren myself. Kang Sobri's just here." Say Ajimukti while blinking one eye and then smiling.

Sobri then just nodded in shame. After that Ajimukti also passed from Prastowo's yard and walked himself back to the boarding house.

"Why are you going to the city, Nduk?" Sumiatun asked Ajeng a little curious.

"Emmm, don't want to do anything, ma'am. Just walk the way. The old Ajeng did not see the atmosphere of this city." Sahut Ajeng while a little bit smirky.

Sumiatun could only frown. This time he felt strange about his daughter.

Sobri was again sitting on the terrace of Prastowo's house waiting for Ajeng to prepare. Prastowo has returned to his chicken coop to continue his morning routine.

"What to make coffee, son Sobri. Waiting for Ajeng." Said Sumiatun later.

"No need, Miss Lek. Already been. Later even klempoken." Sobri was a little joking.

Sumiatun then smiled, "Emmm, Bu Lek said to Ajeng yes, Nak Sobri. Bu Lek sure Nak Sobri someday will definitely be able to win his heart Ajeng."

"Pangestunipun Bu Lek kemawon. Whatever the result, I'm with Kersane Gusti Bu Lek." Sobri's voice was calm while slightly curling her lips.

Not long after that, it came out from inside. She dressed up pretty relaxed this time. Ajeng's appearance is different from usual this makes Sobri for a split second daydreaming to look at Ajeng.

"Why, Kang? How come you see me so?" Ask a little misbehaved.

Realizing his mistake, Sobri soon istighfar inwardly then casts his gaze on Ajeng.

"It's okay, Sister. Ready already?" Ask Sobri later.

"Already, Kang. Here's the key to my bike. We'll just use the bike, Kang." Ajeng said while thrusting the motor key on Sobri.

Sobri immediately grabbed the key of the bike and then stood up from his seat.

"I say goodbye to Mr. Lek and Bu Lek first, Dik." Sobri then stepped towards Prastowo.

After saying goodbye, Sobri and Ajeng set off and passed from the courtyard of the house. For the time being, there was honestly a sense of awkwardness and erratic feeling that Sobri was feeling in him.

Along the way Sobri and Ajeng are more silent. They seemed to speak only a few words, even when Sobri asked Ajeng's purpose.

Before long, Ajeng invited Sobri to pull over to a city park that was quite crowded even though the morning had crawled to noon.

"Kang Sobri ever dated?" Ask Ajeng when they have chosen a seat on the edge of the park.

Hearing Ajeng's question like that, made Sobri's heart beat erratically. He then just frowned and felt astonished by the question Ajeng threw at him. He did not dare guess the meaning of the Ajeng question. But when looking at the expression on Ajeng's face with a slight raise of his eyebrows that seemed to wait for Sobri's answer. Sobri then just shook his head lightly.

Feeling that he had received an answer, Ajeng actually looked to laugh. But Ajeng's laughter this time increasingly makes Sobri in a blanket of curiosity.

"Emmm, sorry, Kang. Kang Sobri must be confused why I asked so. Maybe my question is wrong. Now I change the question, Kang." Say Ajeng then.

Sobri just looked around expressionlessly.

"Kang Sobri never fell in love?" Tanya Ajeng continued her words.

Sobri still in his position turned to Ajeng. This time Sobri slightly curled his lips.

"If you knew, brother. For the first time I felt how falling in love with His creation that wasn't my mahram was just like you." Inner Sobri.

After a moment of looking at Ajeng, Sobri straightened his gaze parallel to his body position, then sighed.

"Right, Sister. But I'm not too optimistic to win her heart." Sobri later said.

Ajeng frowned, he was a little curious about the reason for Sobri's reply.

"Why, Kang?" Ask later.

"All I know is that someone else has already occupied his heart. It's hard for me to shift it. Let alone shifting it, slightly making it give me no loophole I have no confidence." After saying that Sobri turned his head back towards Ajeng and curled his lips.

"Why pessimistic, Kang? Remember the saying, before the yellow janur curved there is still a chance, Kang. I'm sure the girl would be very happy if she knew that she was getting a special feeling from Kang Sobri." Say Ajeng while smiling.

Sobri just sighed, "Is that right, Dik? Would you be that happy girl if you knew you were that girl." Inner Sobri again.

"Fight, Kang. Vim. Arwa'u maa qad yakuunu an tasy'ura bil hubbi, wa laakinnal ajmala an yasy'ura bika man tuhibbu. The most beautiful thing is when you fall in love, but it is more beautiful if the person you love realizes your love. Isn't that right, Kang?" Say it again.

Sobri once again smiled, "Maa ash’ab an tuhibbu syakhson bi junuun wa anta ta'rifu annaki lahu lan takun. How hard it is when you love someone that you yourself know will never be yours, Sister." Sobri Sahut.

Hearing Sobri's words, Ajeng then fell silent. He sighed. He also remembered Ajimukti. However, he also does not know how Ajimukti feels about him. Will that love be in him alone.

"Kang Sobri is right. Alhubbu kal harbi, minas-sahli an tus’ilaha, walaakin minash-sha’bi an tukhmidaha. Love is like a war, it is easy to wage it, but it is very difficult to extinguish it." Say Ajeng then.

Sobri did not say, he only then cupped his palm and put it between his chin and mouth.

"Lau arofal hubbu miqdaaro hubbii laka, latamannal hubbu an yakuuna habiibati. Laukaanal hubbu sentences tuktabu, lantahat aqlami. Walakinal hubbu riihun. Lau jama’tu ayyaama ‘umri min farohin, maa tusaawi lahzhata min waqtii ma’aki. Uhibbuki fii kulli lahdzotin. Akhofu alaika min ayyi huznin yasriku ibtisamataka. If love had known the magnitude of my love for you, it would have hoped to be my lover. If love were a word to be written, my pen would be finished. Fortunately, love is the air that keeps blowing. If I had collected all the happy moments in my life, they would not have been able to match the wonderful time I spent with you. I love you all the time in my life. I've always worried about you from any grief that would steal your smile." Once again Sobri can only express his heart in his heart. For now he did not want to hope for more, although he could no longer avoid all the turmoil of his feelings for the girl who was now sitting not far from him.

For a moment the bench was silent. No more conversations, only the sigh of each one that hints at the feelings of the two.

The sun is getting worse. The spotlight also began to lick some previously unspoiled places. Then the visitors of the park is still like when they came. The chatter of several people passing in front of them sat almost inaudible due to the noise of vehicles from the highway not far from the park.

Seriate...
