Hacking Flavors
Pick up Rinaya

I finally found out that my big motor was given by Laila to Nunik. For the reason, I guess it was to keep the feeling of Kiyano who did not like the existence of my motorbike.

Hh. yes, it is. Wanting to admit it now feels free. Although the truth is I'm still a little bit upset with his decision, but I think it would be better when compared to the bike I have to be stripped or become old junk.

Just as I was about to close the gate, a voice called out my name.

"Erlan's? Are you healed?" Sapa Karina's.

I saw him riding his bike, still in his work uniform that he was wearing this morning. I frowned dislikely when I saw the skirt she was wearing was slightly exposed up a little.

Karina followed my line of sight, then she immediately came down from the top of her bike and took her bike forward.

"M. M. I go in first, yeah!" Just cut it off before it finally passed.

A moment later I realized that I had not answered her question.

"Hhh.how can he ride the bike. When to wear a skirt like that? Is she ashamed or what?" My grumbling with a soft voice.

Then I went inside. Following Mark and Labib who preceded me.

That night, the three of us ate a satay brought by Labib.

It was during the meal that I was finally able to find out the true character of Labib. Through our much more intimate conversation that night.

***

The next few days, Labib was still living with me and Mark. His plan he wants to propose to Nila at dinner at Nila's birthday celebration and also Mark.

After my long talk with Labib on several occasions, I was finally able to judge that the man was a good man, humorous, and also religious.

Labib told me that he had actually asked Nila several times to be his Iatri. Since he began working as a research professor at a private institute that researches Archaeology.

Labib never asked Nila to be his girlfriend. He immediately proposed to Nila to be his wife. Because he knew, by asking Nila, it became his highest form of respect for my daughter.

"Saaya doesn't want to date, Bang. I was afraid to invite Nila to sin in that uneventful relationship. I just want to marry her. But Nila always rejected me. I applied twice. But Nila always refused me" Labib told me on the balcony.

"Why don't you give up, Bib? Why don't you find another woman?" I asked me to investigate

"That's because I'm sure, Bang. If Nila was my soul mate. I am sure that a thousand are sure, if one day, his heart will definitely be open to me," Labib replied with complete confidence in his simple face.

"What makes you so sure, Bib?" Ask me again, curious.

"Because every time I finished praying istikharah, I always dreamed of the face of Nila. She, with the veil she was wearing. Smiling at me, Bang. ahh, remembering those dreams, I wanted to dream about them again, Bang," Labib said, hoping.

"You're sure that dream is God's answer to all your prayers, Bib?" I asked her to try to shake her faith.

I wonder how determined the man in my deoan was in fighting for his feelings towards our Nila.

"I'm sure as sure as sure as his Bang. Honestly speaking. After the first rejection from Nila, I had time to stay away from her, Bang. I am busy with my work in the lab. I really hadn't thought about Nila at all for quite some time" Labib said.

"Then I approached an ukhti. He is a quiet man. Salihah, hafizhah. We met in the ta'aruf process. Ta'aruf is like getting acquainted through the intermediary of a teacher or something like that, Bang,"

"Our relationship will almost trace to a more serious level. If only one night I hadn't dreamed of Nila's face again. For three days in a row I dreamed of his face. Though I almost forgot my feelings for Nila, Bang.."

"From there I am sure. If Nila is my soul mate, Bang. I just need to be patient and keep trying my best!" Labib said with a firm look that made me feel salute to the young man.

Seeing Labib, I remembered myself. When I first realized how I felt about Laila.

Although Laila was in close contact with our boss, Kiyano. But I never wavered. I was able to avoid Laila. But fate eventually brought us back together. Until we finally got married. And almost have a baby.

If the accident hadn't happened, I might still be..

'Astaghfirullah..'

I hurriedly turned my mind to the deepest regret I had felt in my entire life. The fact of the accident still leaves a mark that is difficult for me to accept. Even to this day.

***

The twins' birthday dinner will be celebrated in Mark's house. And Nila's gonna stay here last night. Then go home the next day.

"Bang Erlan wants to come get Nila?" Mark asked me after we got out of work.

"Mm. sorry Mark. I promised Rinaya I'd pick her up this afternoon. He came home from the hospital today as well," I replied refusing his invitation.

"Ohh, yeah, that's okay. But later tonight my brother joined his dinner show huh. Nila ngeharusin Abang to come along about her," Mark reminded me.

I nodded and gave my promise.

"Yes, Mark. The show's at home, right? Finish picking up Rinaya, I'm not going anywhere!"

After that, Mark drove me to the gate, before finally continuing his journey to pick up Nila.

It was still quite day. About three and a half hours. Mark did take permission to go home sooner. So too with me.

I immediately cleaned myself up and changed clothes. And after Ashar, I went to the house next to Mark's.

"Lan, I'm sorry, make you bother again. About her Rinaya insistent oingin really picked up with you.." said Karina as soon as she opened the door of her house for me.

"Yes. It's nothing Rin. I made a promise to Rinaya. We're leaving now?"

I checked the watch in my left hand. The hour hand shows four o'clock less than a quarter.

"Yes. But, can you really bring a car? If not, the city asked Mr. Adi anterin we first deh.." said Karina looks anxious.

Yep. I offered Karina to be her driver when I picked up Rinaya. It is also impossible for us to pick up Rinaya who has just recovered, with his matic motorbike?

"Rin, Tennag. If my car is often enough, bring Mark's car. So don't be afraid that I'll hit the pole again" I joked a little.

Karina laughed.

"Haha! Just be careful if your words miss again, Lan. I'll hold you accountable!" Threaten Karina while giving me her bright smile.

I smiled back at her smile.

'She is beautiful. It is fitting that Mark is always fascinated every time he meets her.

'Ah! What was I thinking?' I rebuked myself for bouncing thinking about Mark and his affinity for Karina.

Even when I think about it, I feel a little uncomfortable. I don't know. Maybe.. I slightly disagree if Mark chooses Karina who already has children?

Hm..

'It would be more fitting if Mark chose Lala. She's like her good girl.. If Karina really deserves it with.' I continued to chant.

But my daydream was cut off by a reprimand from Karina who patted me on the shoulder quite tight.

"Lan?! How come bengong anyway? Here's the car keys. You sure you can take a car? Or we go on a grab. how?" Karina asked again, unsure of my ability to drive a car.

I took the key that Karina was going to hide from me. And I hurriedly walked to his garage.

Rolling door has opened. Without saying anything else, I got into the car, started the engine, and parked it out of the fence perfectly.

Once the car was parked neatly in front of the gate of his house, I opened the car window on the left, and I greeted Karina who had noticed me in driving her car.

"Where? Smooth right?" Ask me while smiling.

I saw Karina slowly raising one of her hands. Then he gave his thumb to me.

"Well, that's pretty good." replied with a thin, seductive smile.

Hmm. and I like that smile of hers.
