Destiny Gintani
Removing Traces

A month after the incident refused ta’aruf and Gintani honesty. The relationship between Gintani and his grandfather began to improve. Little by little Wira's grandfather began to understand Gintani's difficulties so that he could let go of his future for the sake of his life and health. The relationship, which was initially awkward, is now changing as usual. Grandpa Wira wants to say hello to his grandson. Grandfather Wira realized, if he wasn't weak, maybe Gintani's fate wouldn't be like this.

But despite his regret, Grandfather Wira was unable to change the fate that had happened. The only thing he can do right now is chant do’a so that Gintani's life becomes better. He hopes, someday, Gintani can feel happiness like a girl in general.

“You didn't pay today, Tan ? Isn't today the study schedule at the ta'lim event that you often follow ?” ask Grandpa Wira when they are doing breakfast.

Gintani just kept quiet while stirring his food. Ah somehow it feels like today she refused to go to college. Ever since he learned of Husni's intentions, he became uninspired to pursue studies again. He was too afraid if the heart that he always kept his sincerity in gaining knowledge, finally had to be tarnished because he saw the charm of Ustadz Husni. If Gintani can be selfish, Gintani is also fascinated by the good looks the young ustadz has. But Gintani is a very self-conscious person. The traces of his past would be impossible to allow the man to enter the throne that had been broken in his heart.

“Tan, grandpa talking even you ignore ?” reprimand grandpa Wira.

“Eh...ma..sorry, cake ! What was his grandfather ?” asked Gintani who did not hear his grandfather's question because of daydreaming.

“Why aren't you ready to go to school ? Soon Raisya will come to pick you up." Grandpa Wira repeated the question.

Gintani smiles. "Grandfather, take it easy, Raisya won't come !" Gintani. "Gintan has sent a message to Raisya, if Gintan will not attend the study first. Gintan wants to help Rakib mang just like Susan for the papaya harvest." said Gintani. "today the papaya is harvested, right, cake ?"

Grandfather Wira only smiled faintly hearing the reason for the girl. "Grandfather knows son, all this must be because of the young ustadz right ? You don't want to see the look of a disappointed face in that person, do you ?" ask the grandfather. "You don't have to worry, everything will be fine" he continued.

Gintani smiled again.

"Yes, continue eating ! Grandpa wants to go back first to check all our harvest preparation later !” said Grandpa Wira.

Gintani nodded and began to scoop up his food. After a few minutes, Gintani has finished with his meal. As usual, she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes of the former eating her and the grandfather of the Hero. After his kitchen work was completed, Gintani went to his grandfather's garden to help his grandfather who was harvesting the dung.

Get there. Gintani saw that there were already dozens of citizens who would petrify them to pluck papaya. Understandably, his grandfather's garden is very wide, so it will not be finished in a day if Rakib and Susan bik harvest it alone. They are asking people to help him.

Gintani is very happy to try something new for him. For the last 2 years, he was just busy learning to sew. Actually, Gintani himself is very proficient in sewing clothes. But he did not have the courage to open a sewing business. In addition to her fear of not being compatible with her customers, she also felt bad if she had to compete with her own teacher. Hmmmm. But the provision has already been arranged. Time and again Aisyah's own mother advised Gintani to open a sewing business, but Gintani did not listen to her. He even chose to help Aisyah's sewing business.

The sun continued to crawl from its quarrel. The light seemed to spread throughout nature. Without feeling the time has shown at 10 o'clock past. Bik Susan began calling the workers to rest for a while and enjoy the various cakes that Susan had prepared from night. When Gintani was stabbing his favorite cake, suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind.

“Astagfirulloh !” gintani said in shock. Instantly he looked back. Raisya was standing behind him. "Ish, Yes! You just want to !" gintani said a little grumbling.

“He...he.he, sorry !” raisya's answer can only be grinned without feeling guilty.

"Just come home, son Raisya ?"

Suddenly the Hero's grandfather was already standing before them.

“Eh, yes cake !” answer Raisya. “Eh Grandpa Wira, can Raisya invite Gintani to play to Curug Cimedang?” ask Raisya again.

Grandfather Wira smiled, he also agreed to Raisya.Yes, who knows with Gintani go to enjoy the coolness in the waterfall (waterfall), the turmoil in his heart will disappear.

Without changing clothes, Gintani also accepted the invitation of his best friend. On foot they walk down the path for several kilo meters. Finally Gintani and Raisya arrived at Curug Cimedang.

Curug Cimedang is located in Malaganti Village, Raharja Village, Sariwangi Subdistrict. The distance is about 1 km from the garden owned by Gintani's grandfather. This waterfall is still part of Mount Galunggung. It has a 5-meter-high waterfall and a small pond underneath

The pool water is very clear and refreshing. With a width of 10 meters and a depth of about 1.5 meters, making this pool safe to be used as a water playground. The atmosphere is also cool and shady because of the many trees around it.

Curug has its own uniqueness, namely on the left side there is a hollow wall like the mouth of a cave. There are also many interesting spots that can be used as a background for taking pictures. Curug is still not much visited by tourists, because it is still not so well known. This makes many visitors can take pictures alone with the background of flowing water and also the pool. To add to the impression of the Curug as if private property. 🤭🤭

Gintani was very surprised when he saw a man sitting on a rock near the pool of Cimedang. He looked at Raisya with a question, what does this mean ?

Raisya clasped Gintani's hand, "Sorry Tan, ustadz Husni asked me to do all this. He wants to talk to you. Go !" Raisya.

"Listen buddy, I know you have a problem with ustadz Husni. Go and solve your problems ! I'll wait for you here !” raisya said again.

Gintani could only stare at Raisya. Right now his feelings are really messed up. But Gintani had no choice but to approach the sacrificial man. After all, the man had seen his arrival. It was impossible for Gintani to dodge again.

“A...assalamu'alaikum, ustadz !” gintani said as he faced off against the young ustadz.

Ustadz Husni smiled, ah what a smile that could melt the heart of every woman.

"Wa'alaikumsalam !" the answer. "How are you, Tan ?” ask again.

“Ba...good...!” gintani answered nervously.

"Alhamdulillah. I thought you were sick, because I didn't see you at the lecture. Sit down, Tan !" pinta ustadz Husni invited Gintani to sit next to him.

Gintani nodded, and he sat down beside Ustadz Husni.

Ustadz Husni shifted, trying to provide distance between himself and the girl who had refused bertha’aruf with him. Silence occurs for a few minutes.

“Ma..sorry Gintan, ustadz !” gintani's weak voice broke the chastity between them.

Still staring at the small waterfall, Ustadz Husni just smiled at Gintani's words.

"That's it, forget it, Tan ! It was all my fault. I never asked about your heart's readiness and I couldn't prevent the overzealous abi and umi from finding a soul mate for me either. I'm sorry, Tan !" ustadz Husni.

Gintani could only silently hear ustadz Husni.

"May I ask you something?” ask ustadz Husni.

Gintani just nodded.

“Did you never have a taste for me?” ask ustadz Husni again, with eyes still staring at the Curug water racing each other running around to arrive at the bottom pool.

Gintani is shocked to hear Husni's ustadz questions reminding him of his past.

"Ma.sorry ustadz. Ji.if Gintan can be honest. Gintan had removed the trace of the taste from Gintan's own heart. "Please never ask me why. Because Gintan would never be able to say a reason for that. Thank you for the goodwill of ustadz, and Gintan apologizes for disappointing ustadz" Gintani said as he stood to leave Ustadz Husni.

"I won't mind if you want to erase that trace of taste.But can you let me carve out a new imprint for a new taste in your heart ?” ask ustadz Husni.

Gintani. The shadow of Argha who was peeping his forehead full of tenderness began to crackle in his memory.

"Sorry ustadz ! It's good ustadz carved that trail with a woman who's worth his own ustadz. And that woman is not me. Excuse me, assalamualaikum !"

Gintani left ustadz Husni who was trying to quell the roar of his wounded heart because of his rejection. Afterwards, Gintani asks Raisya to take him home. Honestly, this is the first time he has traveled to Curug Cimedang. That's why he doesn't memorize his path.

Along the way, they could only keep quiet with their respective thoughts.

Seriate....
