Azhar read the message Julie sent. A few words of love and kangen were sent by Julie. Nothing made his heart beat. Not like before.
Azhar feels like she has changed a lot. Her relationship with Julie has been fine despite having heated up due to an incident of bouquets and chocolates. But why does his heart feel empty.
Azhar looked at Caca who had just finished praying. Celingukan find its presence in the middle of this crowded cafe.
Azhar waved her hand. Caca looked at Azhar and smiled and walked over to her husband. Seeing Caca's smile, it made Azhar's heart warm up again.
Azhar's heart was pounding again. Azhar was strange with the feeling she felt.
"Did I really love Caca now?" ask Azhar to herself.
"What message?" asked Caca who was sitting in front of Azhar. His face looked fresher after the prayer.
Azhar is back with Caca. "That's it, I order risol and pull tea. A little long time coming. Maybe it was fried when I ordered. What do you want to order?"
Caca looked at the menu on the table. "Everything's good! I want all!"
Azhar smiled at Caca's words. "Relatedly? Just ate rice Padang loh!"
"Oh yes! Yaudah I want to order a snack. The ice teller looks good. I'll ask for your risol!"
"Yes!" Azhar rubbed Caca's hair lovingly.
They enjoy live music while eating snacks. Talk with each other and get to know each other even more.
"You go home all the time, Ca?" ask Azhar.
"No, Mas. If you come home often, Papa pity. Better to save the money to pay the cost."
"No semester payments?!" ask Azhar again.
"No, Mas. I got a scholarship. Gratis. Papa just paid me for the cost and the money to eat everyday. If it's pocket money I like to help make the thesis. Pretty money. Can make snacks occasionally and eat angkringan as much."
"You work while you're in college? Can you?" Azhar grew curious about Caca's life.
"Yes, Mas. Poor Papa for financing me all. Papa won't just finance me." Caca realized his mistake.
"You mean? Whom else is Papa financing?!" ask Azhar.
"Yes... Costin Mama, Mas. I work because I want to be independent. Don't bother Papa and Mama. Let them enjoy their lives without worrying about my tuition."
"Wow... Cool it's you!" azhar is amazed by Caca. "When I was in college I spent all my pocket money, savings and even credit cards that I had to over limit."
"Oh yeah? Make what?" ask Caca.
"Create... Buy Julie's favorite things. The branded goods that he sold when we broke up for the reason of having no money." sounded disappointed in Azhar's voice.
Caca sees a golden opportunity to make Azhar even more dislike Julie. "sold? Isn't it better to keep gifts from loved ones? Indeed, Miss Julie to such a hard yes, how the goods given Mas until sold everything?!"
"That's the one that disappointed me. Julie's used to living good. Despite living without parents, he inherited insurance money that guaranteed his life until he finished college. We broke up before we graduated college. Julie says she needs money to survive until she gets a job. So yeah... Sold all of them." said Azhar.
Caca clasped Azhar's hand. "Patience to you, Mom. Maybe at that time Julie really needed money."
"It shouldn't have sold all my gifts, Ca. He didn't know how I sacrificed to buy him the things he liked. Mommy and Papi are my breakfast. It was sold!" gerutu Azhar's.
Caca then holds Azhar's necklace. "I'll keep Mas's gift necklace. This is how I appreciate you. Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of it like I'm keeping love."
Degs...
Caca wasn't ready to take it. It's too fast and... Caca was so unprepared.
He did not expect that he would be so quickly loved by Azhar. Some time ago, he was only a secretary of Azhar but now?
Caca's heart is beating faster. Azhar looked at him with love. Almost had his heart jump out because it was too fast to beat.
"M-Bag... I'm..."
"I know you love me too. You handing over your crown to me is the most special thing to me. You're the best, Ca!" Azhar held Caca's hand and kissed Caca's back.
Caca blushed in shame. He bowed after hearing Azhar's love statement. He often heard from other guys, but only this time that felt so conveyed to the heart.
"Did I love Azhar too? Yeah, I'm sure I'm getting entangled in Azhar's love. Otherwise, why am I so happy to hear that? Conscious, Ca! This is a good opportunity! This is according to your plan!" inner Caca.
Caca smiled realizing that his plan was in accordance with what he had arranged. "I also love Mas Azhar. A good man."
"But it's stupid to marry Julie." Caca added inwardly.
"I'm so flattered that Mas loves me. It was not in vain that I gave my honor to Mas. I'm taking care of it just for my beloved husband." Caca felt his acting was getting better. Look how Azhar was fooled by what Caca did.
"I'm lucky, Ca. We go for a walk again! I'm gonna buy you something!"
"okay! I pray ashar first yes, Mas. Let's just calm down." said Caca.
"Aren't you going to pray?" ask Azhar.
"Mas wanna come?" take Caca.
"I... Not yet able to be a prayer priest, Ca. I'm not-"
Caca cuts Azhar's word. "Nothing. We pray each. What matters is that I want to pray."
"Yeah. I want to."
"That's so dong! A good and righteous husband will be with his righteous wife in heaven."
"Aamiinu. Remind me to continue being a good and good husband huh, Ca!"
Caca nodded. "In sha Allah, Mas. Let's pray!"
Caca stretched out her hand, asking her husband to pray. Azhar received Caca's hand.
They walked to the side of the cafe, separated in place of ablution and prayer in small prayer hall respectively. Azhar had not entered the mosque in a long time. He felt peace in his heart as he entered the mushola.
The peace he felt was even more pronounced as he began to pray. Although somewhat forgotten because it had not prayed for a long time, but did not make the calmness in his heart decrease.
Caca praying while crying. He felt himself so evil. The grudge within him was so great that he had not been able to dispel the anger within him towards Julie.
"I'm sorry Caca, God... Sorry Caca...."
