How To Love You
Akhi & Ukhty

After everything was done eating, Tasya helped Sarina maam clean up and wash dirty dishes. After all the work was done, the girl decided to walk out in search of the wind, as well as take a look at the scenery around.

Tasya decided to sit under the shade of a shady mango tree while playing his smartphone.

"What else is Fathur? He must be busy at this hour." Tasya muttered as she looked at her picture with Fathur on her phone screen.

Meanwhile, Fathur is busy working with his laptop. He was working on his parents' end-of-month financial statements. After he returned from the city of Marakas, he was believed to take over and manage the business, while his papa was busy with their other family businesses.

"OK done," said Fathur, closing his laptop.

"What is he doing right now? Try me on the phone." Fathur started leaning against the back of the sofa while trying to make a video call with Tasya.

Meanwhile somewhere else.

"Eh, Fathur called. Also just remembered. Hehe." Tasya smiled to herself while tidying up her hijab before answering Fathur's call.

After the video call they are connected.

"Assalamu'alaikum yaa Aki." Tasya answered Fathur's call while adorning his face with a smile.

"Wa'alaikum salam ya Ukhty. Ukhty doesn't miss me?" ask Fathur.

"Mm .. Tell me? Hehe."

Fathur smiles. "Where are you? The one behind you is like a tree trunk." Fathur misfocused on Tasya's leaning spot.

"Oh this, I'm under the mango tree again."

"Under the mango tree? Not you in the store anymore."

"Oh that, today the store is again closed. So I don't work."

"Why not say? What if I pick you up later? We go for another walk."

"Mm .. That, that ...." Tasya is confused as to what to say to Fathur.

Am I being honest, right? Lying is not good either. Instead of saying the problem is even added to the problem. Yes, I better be honest with Fathur.

"That's what?" ask Fathur. He began to suspect.

"But you promise not to be angry. I'll make it all the same for you later" Tasya said.

"What was it before? Why are you being so weird?" Fathur's feelings are starting to get bad. His expression had also started to flat, not as usual before.

"But you have to promise me you won't be angry with me. I'm not a macem either."

"Hem ...."

"Kok just said hem, said yes dong ...."

"Okay, I promise I won't be mad at you."

Tasya smile. "That's dong."

"Yes, say it quickly." Fathur was already impatient to find out what exactly Tasya was hiding.

"I .. I'm on the same road as Hendra. No, it's more precisely he that I meant to make him come with me."

"Oh." Fathur was relieved. His expression changed even better.

"Kok you just said oh hell?" Tasya was disappointed that Fathur's reaction was not what he expected. He had thought Fathur would be angry or jealous, but his reaction was mediocre.

"Keep, what should I say? I promise you you won't be angry. Wonderful."

"Jealous around that cake." Tasya pursed her lips.

"Haha. Why am I jealous? Anyway, I know that you don't like him, and I'm sure, he's not going to mess with you either."

"Are you really not jealous? Then you don't really love dong ya same me." Tasya began to wander.

"Yeah. Do I have to bed you now so you can trust me that I love you so much?" ask Fathur.

"Hehe. Don't dong. I'm just going to college, wait till I graduate."

"Ah, that's the delay."

"Tasy," call Fathur.

"Yes .." answered Tasya.

"Being honest now with Hendra," said Fathur.

"About what?" tasha asked, she was a little confused.

"Yes about your feelings for Hendra. That way he'll stop bothering you."

"You look so sure."

"It may be because we're both men."

"Mm .. yes. I'll try to make him talk."

"okay."

"Eh, the guy's coming. Yes, yes, Aki."

"Yes, Ukhty .. take good care of me" Fathur said before the two disconnected their video call.

Hendra was walking towards Tasya. After the young man got near the girl, he then sat still beside Tasya with a distance of approximately 2 meters.

"Who's the same video call?" ask Hendra.

"Fathur's Sam."

"Oh." Hendra felt his heart throb at Tasya's reply. It seemed like defeat was getting longer and longer on his side.

"Sir Hendra, I want to talk to Hendra."

"What?" hendra asked, throwing small stones and pieces of earth into the water. The feeling is getting worse. Feelings of tightness, sadness, disappointment, heartbreak, and jealousy seem to have blended into one.

"Mm .. i-" Tasya's words were suddenly broken by Hendra.

"Shut up first. Can I talk first? I want to say something to you too."

"Yes already. Brother Hendra just talk first, later I later."

"alright. Please listen to me carefully."

Before starting to speak, Hendra momentarily looked at the beautiful girl who was beside him. The beautiful girl who had dashed her hopes, faded her happiness. The girl who managed to make him feel a huge heartbreak.

"Tasya, you know, don't I love you so much?"

Tasya nodded slowly. He did not dare to look at Hendra.

"Do you want to know why I never gave up and stopped fighting for your heart even though I knew clearly that you didn't care?"

Tasya. He doesn't know what to answer. From Hendra's tone, he was sure that the young man was heartbroken because of him.

"At that time, almost 2 years ago, when I just returned from Kartaja, I visited the house of Rahmat. That's where I first saw you. Surprisingly, I instantly fell in love at first sight with you, and worse still"

Hendra took a deep breath. It wasn't finished he said everything, but the tightness in his chest had already spread everywhere. If he were alone there, he might shed his tears.

"Do you want to know what's worse?"

Tasya remained silent and lowered. Frightened as he spoke up, Hendra would feel even more hurt.

"What's worse is .. I'm so sure that you're my soul mate. That's why I never gave up all this time."

Finally Hendra could reveal everything, even with reddened eyes held the pain in his heart.

"Tasya, answer me. Do you like anyone else?" Hendra said as he stared fixedly at Tasya.

"Yes, Brother." Tasya was still down, he wasn't

he dared to look at Hendra.

"Is that person Fathur?" again he wanted to make sure.
