110. The Musdalifah
What made Musdalifah fall in love with a Santoso? If I'm honest, Musdalifah will definitely say that he actually has not felt love like a couple.
Musdalifah has not felt love since the last time his heart was broken. A man who approached her for three years, but only dated her for six months.
The man was his friend when he was in college. Six months into the relationship and falling in love with the man, Musdalifah learns that his girlfriend is suffering from leukemia.
The last two months he spent his time accompanying the lover to undergo treatment. Transfusion after transfusion, until one afternoon, a man lying in a hospital bed called him over.
Musdalifah sat on the edge of the bed with an awkward face. He realized something strange about his girlfriend. Since yesterday, the man said that he had been in love with her for a long time.
“I've liked you for a long time. But, you're so funny. To the extent that all the little letters I had tucked away, were returned.” The man laughed loudly.
Musdalifah said nothing. His hand only grasped tightly the hand of his beloved who was always cold as if not flowed with blood.
“Luckily, you finally got me. I love you, Fa .... Promise, yes .. You will be a great secretary like your ideals. You're a hardworking woman, Fa. I am proud and happy to be your girlfriend. If I had a longer time, I would have applied for you.” The man tried to tighten his hand. But, his hands did not release a quarter of the energy when he was healthy.
“You can apply me now,” pinta Musdalifah. “We can get married. Why not?” ask Musdalifah at that time.
“No, Fa—. I don't want to be selfish. You must find a healthy man, who is good, and loves you. Who will live a long time, and become your friend until old age.” The man raised his hand and touched the head of Musdalifah.
Musdalifah's shoulders shook, shedding his tears. Thin white sheets of a hospital bed, instantly drenched when soaked. Two months he had been holding back his tears. Try to be strong and dismiss the fact that the man he just loved could die at any time.
Musdalifah. A regret he will always remember for life. Wasting the attention of a good man who was trying to seize his heart. When he realized and reciprocated the love of the man, it turned out that the time was not enough. Musdalifah felt that he had wasted a lot of time.
The next morning, the white man with the perfect oval face shape, did not wake up again. Musdalifah lost her lover.
It's too young for a heartbreak that's too deep. It's too early to feel traumatized to be in a new relationship. Musdalifah did not want to dismiss the men who tried to approach him. He just wants to linger to enjoy a period of grief that he himself does not know when it can be ended.
Until Musdalifah spent years working at T&T Express and met a kindly director. The marriage relationship is three money with the courtship relationship he once lived.
His longtime director was dating, but only married for six months. Musdalifah deeply regretted his superior household. He felt that the couple were in love with each other. But, there is no way he gives advice about how to establish a good relationship, while he himself has not married.
Musdalifah mixes his role as a secretary and friend who observes his best friend from afar. Handsome superior. Everyone must know that the owner of T&T Express is a handsome crossbreed man with the status of a divorced widower.
His friends also had suggested to Musdalifah to approach his superiors. Who knows, they say. But, his feelings for the owner of T&T Express named Toni, is nothing more than subordinates and superiors.
If another woman comes to his office it will linger to turn to Toni's room. Musdalifah was even a little bored with the face of his superiors who he considered too handsome and too unlikely. It's impossible to look at him.
Musdalifah called it that way not without reason. His boss is still often looking for information about his ex-wife. Who is his girlfriend, what he is doing, what his business is. Although the attitude of his superiors was not too obvious, but Musdalifah knew that the couple could definitely get back together at any time.
Although, sometimes Musdalifah branded his boss as a jerk. A normal fucking guy. It's not nice to hear, but that's how normal men are. His boss is handsome and has a lot of money. Getting a surrogate woman is always as easy as changing clothes. Fortunately, the woman his boss was dating was not much. As for the woman who had an impromptu date with the man, Musdalifah did not have time to count it.
Out of all of them, his superior was the best superior he had ever known. A boy who was so devoted to his mother. And now, Musdalifah is leaving for an area at the behest of his superior and wife.
A man who had married her almost two weeks ago was driving with a serious look. The man who at first was not so lyric, but pursued him desperately.
His name is Santoso Thahir. Graduated master of law a bona fide state university in the country. Intelligent and persistent man who loves to talk with unique word equivalents.
The squinty man is easier to catch the eye because in addition to his prominent physique, also because of his controversial speech. For some reason, the man could always find words that were irritating, as well as not to blame.
Subconsciously, he became more willing to know about the man. Married, it turns out. But he really didn't expect anything. It's impossible to think. That's his boss' friend. And from looking at the man's style, being able to be his assistant alone was already incredible. The man was like a thorn.
Apesnya, Musdalifah's fad observing the man, caught hands. That slippery guy's name is Dean. As if he wanted to punish him for being detected as overstimulating his attention, Dean's behavior grew more annoying. The man continued to suppress him with an unflattering authoritarian attitude.
The positive thing that Musdalifah can reap from the incident is, he became more curious about the figure of the woman who can accompany the man.
After scraping the info to and fro in silent mode, Musdalifah got information that he never thought before. The woman who looked so adored by the man turned out to be just a housekeeper in his family residence.
Musdalifah. The attitude of an adult human can change according to mood, but the nature that has been formed will not easily change it. In fact, it's almost impossible.
From the figure of a man who is so ketus and always filled with complaints, then turned into a figure so soft in front of his wife, it must not be something easy. There is a calm woman figure, but it is so influential for the life of the selfish man.
Finally, he even admired the figure of the man's wife. Not that guy anymore. Musdalifah chose not to look at the man for long. His heart was pounding irregularly, his nape was bristling and his blood pressure was definitely soaring.
The man's face was always irritating to him.
“Home of this difficult area signal, Mus ...”
Santoso's words again brought Musdalifah to the atmosphere in the car.
“Iya, Mas. Mr. Toni also talked about it. Mas Santoso, is it laper?” musdalifah asked to glance at the clock on the car's LCD screen which was still wrapped in thin plastic.
“Later, we invite you all to eat. That is if he wants to come directly with us,” said Santoso. “I'm in the mood for Asih. Hearing your story, Asih is indeed suitable to be lectured again. He is still too young and his life choices are still many.”
Musdalifah nodded in agreement to her husband's words. “Pak Toni and Bu Wulan are good, yes, Mas. They still want to send a message to Ms. Anderson. In fact, Ms. Anderson again did not want the same Asih.” Musdalifah glanced at the hand of her husband who was on top of the gear stick.
“Yes, they're good people. Dean's good too. Our superiors, good all, Mus.” Santoso glanced at his wife.
Musdalifah clenched his mouth and gave a small nod. Slowly his hand was raised and he put it on Santoso's hand.
A little surprised, Santoso turned to his wife. The Musdalifah never touched him first.
“Mas Santoso is also good,” Musdalifah said. He should have said it early. He does not want to lose time to love those who love him.
Life is too short to waste what it gets for free. Something that if just a little felt more sensitive, could definitely be easily grateful for. Feelings of being loved without any selflessness by someone.
Santoso smiled, flipped his palm and stretched it out for Musdalifah. The little hand of Musdalifah rests upon the hand of her husband. They then held tight.
Perhaps that is why the term husband and wife is more often said to be a companion to life. Someone who will eventually become a friend throughout life.
