Eps 11 - Young Leaf Om Taste
Firda went to Madrasah after performing the dhuhur prayer, he did it on the orders of his Abi so that Firda did not always run around which made him have to meet with Gabriel.
Firda was given the task to teach first class, Firda taught tajwid because it was his favorite. In addition, he has a good voice and knows how to read the Quran in a beautiful tone and proper tajwid.
After teaching, Firda sat in the school yard while playing with his cat who always joined Firda except to the market of course, or his cat will be lost looking for fresh fish. Which will definitely make Aisyah dizzy seven-round, because the cat owner and the cat are just as fond of disappearing.
When Firda was busy with her cat, she was surprised by the voice of Gabriel calling her.
"Hi.." said Gabriel and Firda.
"Oh, hi, Om.." he said as he stood up.
"What are you doing here?" gabriel asked with a fluffy smile on his lips, and Firda felt that smile made Gabriel look very handsome. Doesn't look like Om.
"So Firda taught" Firda replied with a smile.
"Being a teacher?" gabriel screeched as if he was in disbelief and Firda nodded "You can be a teacher?" ask her again.
"Yes, in the lesson that Firda has mastered" Firda replied as he walked towards the long chair there. He also sat there, among the santri who were enjoying his rest. Gabriel was uncomfortable with the crowd, but he also sat at the other end of the chair.
"What are you good at?" ask Gabriel again.
"Tajwid" replied Firda and Gabriel just nodded even though he did not know what was tajwid "Oh yeah, Om what is here?"
"As usual, I'm just bored at home. I was thinking of asking you to take me to a dining place around here" Gabriel said, Firda let out a lethargic sigh, reminded of Abi Ummi's message.
"Em how about Firda call Abi again, to take Om there," said his who now makes Gabriel who sighed lethargic.
"Don't do it, Fir. I'm very sorry for your Abi" Gabriel said honestly.
"The problem, Om. Abi Ummi said, Firda engga can too often walk alone with Om"
"Why? They don't like me?" Gabriel asked quickly and seriously.
"No, but it is not good if men and women often walk together, Om. We're not mahram"
"Then what should I do? Here I only know you and..."
"And comfortable with Firda..." Firda interrupted quickly and Gabriel nodded softly "That's also his problem, Om," he said later.
"Why?" ask Gabriel astonished.
"Firda has explained to Ummi that Om is comfortable with Firda, eh Ummi said that Om was told to meet Abi"
"HUH???" cry Gabriel who understands the meaning of Ummi's orders Firda.
"Neither be surprised, Om. Not asked to apply, Firda has asked Ummi" said Firda again that makes Gabriel more confused.
"What do you mean?" he asked while looking at Firda full of question marks.
"Kok even Om who understands, how the hell" grumbled Firda while Gabriel could only scratch his nape "Oh yeah, Om likes Firda or Firda's crush?" firda asked half a whisper which made Gabriel even more astonished.
"Said Ummi, if the man said comfortable, it could be like or have a crush, hmm Firda understand now, that's why Ummi said tell Om to meet Abi. Because if you like it, it should be preached, right?" Firda said while nodding his head. He just understood what Ummi meant yesterday. Then Firda looked at Gabriel seriously
Gabriel was still speechless, digesting what Firda was really talking about "The matter, was also true said Ummi. We're not mahram, so it's good if both roads continue. Firda is too close too Om" said Firda sighing heavily.
"Married to me? So that we can be mahrams" the word just came out of Gabriel's mouth. What's more hearing the word instead of mahram as if it would be a dividing line between her and Firda and somehow imagining there is a boundary between her and Firda makes Gabriel dislike.
While Firda, in such an application does not make her overwhelmed what more surprised happy. He grimaced, looking at Gabriel with a strange look, making Gabriel misbehave.
"Om seriously?" asked Firda and I don't know what Gabriel thought he nodded quickly many times. Firda increasingly grimaced, he even scratched his head wrapped in a hijab.
"Om weird too, cook his taste buds young leaves. Don't fit, just find another one"
hearing Firda's absurd answer, Gabriel was like numbness. No offense, no happiness, no sadness. He was like a blank and was even stunned, thinking what was a young leaf? Why is Firda's answer out of sync with her question? Does Firda feel gerogi so that it diverts the conversation?
The question filled Gabriel's intelligent brain.
"Firda, what is it..." Firda didn't even give Gabriel a chance to ask. Now the girl had gone away with her beloved cat.
Gabriel is getting blank, and he just proposed to a girl. A girl???
Gabriel scratches his head like a fool, then Gabriel reaches into Firda's cell phone from his pants pocket and while walking home, he contacts John.
"What's up, sir? Is there a problem?" ask John firmly.
"I just proposed to a girl" Gabriel said in a very flat tone, but I can confirm John must have been astonished and might have felt like he was in a lightning bolt there.
"Which girl? Don't play with the village girl, sir. Or they'll kick you out of there. Since when have you had a boyfriend? And are you seriously proposing to her or are you just flirting with her? Or are you just playing with her? Or what?"
Gabriel grimaced, he himself could not answer John's question.
"Let's know, the proposal just came out of my mouth. How else, I feel so comfortable whenever I get close to her, I forget my burden, my problems. And I really don't like it every time he puts a line between us, maybe that's why my subconscious makes me propose to him" Gabriel said in frustration. I heard John breathing heavily across the phone.
"Then? What did the girl answer? She's taking you?"
"He said it turned out that my taste buds were young leaves and it didn't match, he said ask me to find something else"
"Hahaha hahah." there was a loud laughter from across the phone. Makes Gabriel growl.
"What are you laughing at, damn it?" her growling.
"Sir, is that girl very young?" john asked and like him he was trying to hold back his laughter.
"Maybe 19 years old" Gabriel replied "Or maybe even 18" he said in a soft voice.
"You should be rejected" exclaimed John and like him he now laughs in mockery.
"So he rejected me? What does that have to do with her rejecting me with young leaves? Why didn't he reject me so clearly?" gabriel asked again and he was still on his way home.
"The young leaves are nicknames for teenage girls, young, still fresh. So by that girl, you're too old, and it turns out your taste is even a young girl, you don't fit her and ask you to find someone your age, who suits you"
"So sad" Gabriel muttered annoyedly.
