Islam Learning Fasting
79. Pain and Friendship

"Islam!!!"

The sound of screaming from outside the door made Islam turn his head and quickly rubbed his wet cheeks.

Islam opened the door to find Shuaib standing before him.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone wants to meet."

"Who?"

Islam stepped furiously through the rows of classroom doors while following Shuaib who was seen running towards Abah Habib's room.

What exactly is going on?

Islam stepped in making everyone in the room Abah Habib turned to look at Islam.

From here Islam can see Grandma Una who is crying.

"Islam!"

Una's grandmother got up and immediately knelt in tears in front of the confused looking Islam.

"What's wrong?" ask Islam that does not understand.

Islam knelt down and stared intently at the two eyes whose eyes had blurred while holding both of his thin shoulders.

"Say! What's up?"

"Islam, to..to.please meet Katrin! He's very sick."

"illness?"

"Yes, Son. Please meet him."

Islam turned to look at Abah Habib, Umma Nur, Akbar and Akbir who looked silent.

"But why should I?"

"Katrin has since yesterday called your name, Islam. He wants to see you, "he explained while crying as he pleased.

Islam was silent for a moment. Is this serious or just a trick Katrin who just want to make Islam feel sorry. But seeing the face of Grandma Una who was worried made Islam unsure if this is a charade.

There's no way Grandma Una would cry like this.

20 Minutes later...

Islam stopped its steps at the door of a room. Now he was in the house of Grandma Una.

"This is Katrin's room" she told him and opened the door.

Islam turned to look at Umma Nur who looked smiling then nodded.

"Umma just wait here."

Islam nodded then he stepped into the room. In both pairs of Islamic eyes, he could see Katrin's pale face lying on a mattress with a compress cloth over her forehead.

"Catrin!" granny Una whispers to Katrin's ears.

"l...islam!!! Islam!!!"

Katrin's moaning sounds made Grandma Una wipe Katrin's wet hair.

"There is Islam here, son," he whispered.

Grandma Una turned her head to look at Islam who quickly stepped forward and knelt on the floor.

Islam grabbed and grasped the fingers of Katrin's hand so hot that it made Islam believe that if Katrin was not acting, Katrin was really sick.

"Islam!!!" his moans.

"Yes, Rin. It's me Islam."

"Islam!"

Katrin's left hand is raised and seen reaching every direction trying to find Islam. Islam quickly grabbed and clasped the fingers of Katrin's left hand.

"Islamic?"

"This is me."

Katrin's eyes opened and she quickly rose from her bed and embraced the still-rigid body of Islam. Both hands of Islam were restrained, his hands did not touch the back of Katrin who was now crying in his arms.

Islam can feel the heat of the body of the girl whom Islam admits if she loves him very much but unfortunately Islam does not love beggar girl love from Islam.

"From last night Katrin did not stop crying and called your name, Son of Islam."

"Katrin was so hurt over the cancellation of the match that her body also lay sick like this."

"From last night until now Katrin has not eaten and does not want to take medicine even though the fever is very high."

"Islam, please persuade Katrin that she will eat and take medicine" he continued, stepping out of the room.

Islam let go of his embrace and looked at Katrin's pale face. His eyelids look swollen and the bottom of his eyes are a bit dark. It seemed like Katrin had really been crying and had not slept all day.

"Why?"

Katrin was crying.

"It's all because of you."

Katrin pointed at the chest of Islam with her index finger several times.

"It's all because of you. You hurt me, Islam."

"Why are you the same as me, Islam?"

Islam silent. He bowed as if he did not dare to look into Katrin's eyes.

"Gue less what is Islam? I'm less what?"

"Islam, you look at me!"

Katrin cupped both cheeks of Islam makes Islam inevitably have to look at the face of Katrin who looked at him sincerely.

"Gue less what?"

Islam silent.

"Gue less what?"

Islam tried to shift its eyes but Katrin kept cupping the two cheeks of Islam.

"There are a lot of girls out there but I'm sure no girl has as much love as I have."

"Gue love is the same lo."

"Well I admit that I'm chasing you but please believe me if I just admit it's the same lo."

Islam is silent. Both eyes of Islam stared pusillar at the eyes of sayup who had been tired of letting out those tears.

Islam knows how much pain Katrin feels because it is also what she is now feeling.

The pain he gave Katrin was of course as painful as the one Khadijah gave her.

"But now you're eating and taking your medicine!" the Islamic word that sinks Katrin's fingers from her cheeks.

"Gue don't want to."

"Why?"

"Eating won't make you like me."

Islam silent. The breath escaped from his mouth.

"Islam please! Please give me a chance. Get to know me closer and I'm sure you'll like me" he whispered, cupping both cheeks of Islam.

"Gue please."

Islam silent. Islam believes that the love for Katrin is sincere.

What's he doing now? What he could only shut up and see was Khadijah and Rahman getting married while now in front of him was a girl who loved him very much.

"Katrin, I know how hurt it feels."

"It hurts and I understand."

"Now I'm breaking up to try to open my heart to you."

Katrin's eyes sparkled. He had no idea that Islam would say this.

"I..i....this is se...se...seriously?"

Islam nodded slowly making Katrin let go of her cries while smiling. Katrin re-embraced her Islamic body which looked silent with a flat face.

"Thank you Islam, thank you."

"Gue promise I won't be disappointed lo," he continued.

Islam let go of Katrin's embrace and touched her shoulder.

"Now we're in office first and all that time I'll try to open my heart."

Katrin nodded with a smile making Islam smile too. He glanced at the still-much porridge bowl.

"Well, now you eat, let me bribe."

"Bribery? You want to fuck me?" Stare Katrin did not expect especially when Islam holds the spoon and thrust the spoon towards him.

"Puckin' nguap! Or I'll eat it."

Katrin laughs.

"Look, you're fasting."

"That's a big kick!"

Islam poked the spoon out toward Katrin's open mouth but with ignorance Islam moved the spoon in the other direction.

Katrin's face became sullen making Islam laugh.

"Yes, sorry sorry. What time is it?"

Katrin laughed and made Islam laugh. Outside the door of Granny Una and Umma Nur's room was also seen laughing. He was moved and carried away after seeing this.
