Eps 9 - Comfortable
Gabriel was waiting for Firda so impatiently, I don't know who Firda was picking up right now. While the pentol that was bought by Bi May was finished in his meal was not left.
"Assalamualaikum" Gabriel immediately came out to hear the familiar man's voice. And when he opened the door, he could only raise his eyebrows when he saw Farhan, Firda's father who came with Firda.
"Did he pick up his dad?" his mind cried out in disbelief.
"Son Gabriel, Firda said you needed help. What's up, son?" ask Farhan is friendly. The towel was dumbfounded and did not know what to answer.
"Ep... Actually I was just bored at home" Gabriel finally answered honestly.
"Oh, so. Want to come to our house? There were many people there, there were even madrasa master teachers as well" Farhan and Gabriel's suggestion immediately shook their heads.
"No, Om. Thank you, I'll walk my own way around here"
"Later Om gets lost again" Firda interrupted quickly.
"Yes" muttered Gabriel, but he was sure he would not get lost again.
"Yes, let's go home, Om. Yaaa" persuaded Firda by showing a very adorable face and of course Gabriel immediately nodded if Firda invited him.
"Yes, come on." cried Farhan later.
The three men rushed to Firda's house. Firda walked behind alone, while Gabriel and Farhan walked in front. And Gabriel kept looking back, as if afraid of Firda missing.
Realizing that, Farhan began to feel a concern for his teenage daughter.
"In a few days Firda will go to the pesantren" cried Farhan who surprised Gabriel a little.
"Oh yeah?" that was his response and he was disappointed.
"Yes, how long will Gabriel be here?" ask Farhan again.
"Come, Om. Just a few days"
"Son Gabriel is really on vacation? Because the holiday itself is boring what else does not know the way, or there is another need to come here?"
Gabriel feels he is being interrogated, all this time is the interrogation of the enemy enemy who is caught or his men who look betrayed.
" Just wanting to calm down after the rush of taking care of the company" Farhan only nodded in understanding hearing Gabriel's reply.
Arriving at Firda's house, Farhan invites Gabriel to sit down and Firda accompanies him.
While Farhan goes to his room to see his wife.
"What's up, Mom?" asked Aisyah who saw a different look from her husband's face.
"Either why am I worried about the closeness of Nak Gabriel and Firda" said Farhan honestly.
"Me too" answered Aisha "In the market yesterday, Firda said Gabriel was eating pentol. I'm just afraid Gabriel's interpreting something else Firda's behavior, what else Gabriel is a city person"
"Hopefully not, Gabriel is a grown man while Firda is still a child. I hope Gabriel understands that"
"Oh yeah, so where's Gabriel now?"
"Ahead, same Firda"
"Yes, Mas Farhan accompanied Gabriel. Let me take Firda to Madrasah, let it get closer"
"Yes" answered Farhan and he immediately walked forward. But there he no longer found Gabriel or Firda.
Meanwhile, Firda instead brought Gabriel the way to the school area. Firda did that because there were a lot of people there so it was safe to walk alone with Gabriel.
Many students also greeted Firda.
"Oh yeah, why are you going to the boarding school?" ask Gabriel later. I don't know why he wanted to know.
"To learn, Om"
"Indeed his studying here can't? Isn't this a school?"
"Yes learning to a higher level, Om. Firda is lazy, Om. But yes the name of education is very important, what else is education about religion. Life and death need religious knowledge" Gabriel just nodded his head.
"Wait, Om. Firda wants to buy a snack, Om want?" ask Firda as he walks towards a small shop that sells snacks near the school.
"The feeling of Om at any bargain is the same Firda never refused" said Firda who made Gabriel laugh, because he felt the same way.
"I don't know myself why I can never refuse you" Gabriel said very honestly.
"Maybe Om has a crush on Firda" said Firda, who stunned Gabriel and stopped stepping. While Firda is now busy choosing some snacks for her and for Gabriel.
After paying and wrapping the snack in plastic, Firda again walked towards Gabriel.
"This, Om..." Firda handed Gabriel a small crackle.
"What's this?" ask Gabriel.
"Small, good Om" replied Firda and he opened a pack of snacks like his from shrimp. Firda savored it voraciously, and then licked his finger which exposed the rest of the seasoning snack. Gabriel who noticed that could only gulp with difficulty. His feelings began to go awry, his heart was pounding and his heart was like wriggling, feeling something that unsettled his mind.
"Em, Firda.." cried Gabriel as he also opened the package of the snack and although a little doubt about the health and content of the snack, he still ate it and the taste was very good.
"Yes, Om" replied Firda. The two now walk back to the school.
"It's okay, thanks for being my friend" said Gabriel, who made Firda smile.
"Same, Om"
"I feel comfortable whenever I'm close to you"
Deg
Instantly Firda stopped stepping, Like something had pinched Firda's heart as Gabriel revealed that comfort, what else as Firda looked up and looked into her eyes, that gaze felt very different and as if it wanted to pierce through his heart. Firda shook his head and immediately threw away his gaze from Gabriel.
"Everybody's comfortable near Firda, Om. Because Firda is good and sweet" cried Firda while laughing amusedly and he continued his steps and was followed by Gabriel who walked beside him.
"Firda.." call Gabriel again.
"Yes, Om?"
"My phone is broken, where here can I fix my phone?"
"Yesterday's old phone?" firda asked frowned deeply.
"Yes" replied Gabriel.
"Om this real rich guy or a hoax? That's a old-fashioned cell phone, Om. If it breaks, throw it away, you can buy new. Sophisticated, the latest release"
Not offended, Gabriel even back feeling anxious with Firda who is always flippant never think before speaking. What else Firda even doubted his wealth.
"I have a cell phone, it is deliberately not brought to be disturbed by work. Yesterday's old-fashioned cell phone is also only for important communication" replied Gabriel.
"Well, Om can already speak almost one sheet" said Firda who made Gabriel frowned confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Om has been irritable to talk" said Firda and immediately Gabriel laughed.
"Maybe your contagiousness is also never irritable to talk" said Gabriel and now Firda was the one who laughed.
"Om can already joke too" said his words that made Gabriel smile amusedly.
Now they have reached Firda's house again "Om, Firda take Firda's phone first. The firda has two hp, the other to the pack. Most only in Ciu Ciu watch youtube" said Firda who again made Gabriel laugh, the cat was so noticed by Firda, thought it.
Shortly thereafter Firda came with his cellphone with a pink cover with a picture of a pony.
"There's a card, there's still a pulse on it" Firda said, handing over the phone and Gabriel immediately received it.
"Where are you from?" ask Farhan who came with Aisyah.
"Buy snacks" Firda replied casually.
"Firda, come with Ummi. Son Gabriel please sit down" exclaimed Aisyah and Gabriel sat on the sofa after putting Firda's phone into her pocket.
While Aisyah immediately dragged Firda out of there, Firda still turned her head, smiled and waved at Gabriel. It made Gabriel somehow feel happy and he also revealed his faint smile.
