Let Me Fall in Love
61. Surprise Without Saying

Umrah worship has given wisdom and sweet memories to Ami. Wisdom, the level of faith to rise and make it a more mature person in attitude. More grateful and very happy to have a mother and brother who get along well and love him. Out there, there are still many children who are not as lucky as him

Sweet memories, of course, because of the togetherness with Akbar who met every day despite different travel agents. Ami was able to assess the adult male was so protective and nurturing and patient motivating until it reached touch Hajar Aswad. The feeling of love by itself the level is getting higher.

When the plane landed at Soekarno Hatta airport, Ami and Ibu stayed at Puput's house again last night. It was only tomorrow to return to Ciamis because the school holidays are two days away.

Starting the second semester, Ami kept going day by day until changing months, filled with routines as usual. What is amazing is about feeling. After Umrah worship, his determination grew stronger to decide to marry young. All forms of attention and support Akbar with intense communication despite LDR, further fostering love and affection for the owner of the Seruni hotel.

"So, you're awake yet? There's vegetables sown with onions. Come sahur, Ayang."

Ramadan has been running for five days. It became a routine for Ami to wake Akbar with a voice message at half-four at the request of Panda. If there is no response for up to five minutes, he will repeat by calling.

Voice mail is blue tick. Ami waited for a reply from Akbar before he left his room.

"Yes, this is waking up. Selasih wrapped in ribbon. Thanks for the love."

Ami giggled softly after listening to a reply to a voice message that sounded hoarse typical wake up. Akbar from day to day is more adept at balancing his combalan. Can quickly answer abbreviations or pantun. The Ami virus has spread to the blood. Making the CEO of Pulangpergi cool and calm is often funny if you are on a phone or video call.

After parting ways in Mecca, Ami and Akbar had not met face to face until now. Counting more than three months. Risk of backstreet relationship. There was no reason for Akbar to visit her house. But after Lebaran, the discourse of family gathering at the Seruni hotel will try to be realized. It will be the moment of the meeting of the two.

"Mom, today is my class schedule on the street. Can you take the car to school, ma'am? Weather's hot. The location of his salary on HZ."

Ami looked at Mother who sat facing each other at the dining table with a capacity of six seats. This year, only two. After losing Zaky who studied in Singapore, now lost Aul who now has his own household.

"Yes, I don't wear it. Today, I am not going anywhere. Want a guest of Bu Agus with Bu Rani. He said he wanted a 30 box per day rice order to donate to the mosque for two weeks. Want a discussion about the price and the variation of the menu."

"My class also wants to do a program for takjil on the road. Anyway during the fast will be padet activities until the afternoon."

"May be able to take care of health. Keep trying to open the fast at home. I don't have any friends to open up if Ami's bukber's outside."

"Yes, Mom." Ami lifts her old dirty dishes and ex-Mom's. His task is now to brew two glasses of warm milk as a cover for the sahur as a doping to fit throughout the day.

Ami parked the car to the left of the Almond car which entered the school gate in tandem. The classmate finished parking first and helped direct the parking to move forward.

"No fasting, Mon? It looked very hard." Ami cradled her backpack after pressing the remote key. Start walking with Almond.

"Yes dong fasting. Not too long from the beginning. Should the fast be 3 L? Weak, tired, lethargic. You are fresh and shining. Is it not fasting? Again M, huh?" Todong Almonds.

"I fasted. My face is always gini, Mon. It's his factory suit. I think I just found out." Sahut Ami relax. Two index fingers are used to pull the corners of the left and right lips and then to squeeze the tongue.

Almonds laughing. That is what is liked by an Ami who is always confident without seeming arrogant. The one instead spontaneously laughed because of the annoying but adorable expression.

"Mi, yuk bukber!"

"Fasting hasn't been a week yet. Can't."

"It doesn't have to be now. Planning first. When usually?" Almond turned to Ami who was both climbing the stairs.

"Whoever else does it, I don't know if I can join the bukber. Kasian I broke my fast alone at home."

"What is the bucket at Ami's house? So you don't have to leave Mom, do you?"

Ami turned his head and stopped his steps with a frown. "Your father can too, Mon. Okay, I'll schedule it. I want to invite other friends too."

"Be aware that I forgot to be invited!" Threaten Almonds before splitting directions on the second floor. Just answered by Ami.

Entering the classroom just to wait for the arrival of Bu Elin who will escort the activities of Njai on The Street. Because during Ramadan, the lesson schedule changes where the first four hours filled with Njai on The Street activities take turns starting from class 11 IPA and IPS, then class 10.

"Guys, who wants to ride in my car, has a quota of six girls. Miss Elin I'll take my car with me." Ami announced in front of the class. Of course the shy Kia was invited the earliest.

"Me, Mi." Sonya, Yesi, Ifa, hand in hand.

"I'm in a gang of motorcycle convoys." Sahut Yuma's.

"I'm coming, Mi. I'm not sitting in the back with the Dawn." Shouted Ozi from his bench on the left corner.

Grrr. The sound of laughter broke out in one class. Meledek Fauzi who clearly did not listen to Ami's announcement. That the one who can ride is a female student.

All students of the third IPA class have arrived at the location of teaching, which is the pavement of the center of the shop. One group of four people, held a mat and began to take out the Qur'an from the bag. Being the center of attention. And of course, it gets a positive community reception. So there are some road users who capture with a cellphone camera. In addition to the documentation carried out by the school through drones also photos.

Not felt, Ramadan has been running sixteen days. Dapoer Mother's restaurant is always crowded and full of events open together. You even have to make a reservation to get a place.

[Despite fasting every 19 hours, I am strong. Especially if you pay attention to this every day]

[Krimin kolak kernels salak dong, Sekar. The same gurame roast seasoning kecombrang. What a miss for Mom's Dapoer menu. Especially missing you]

Ibu Sekar extended a smile reading a reply message from Mr. Bagja. He simply asked 'Where is the fast today, Kang?' But the sulking reply he received. Though he idly asked while waiting for magrib time another hour. As well as waiting for the arrival of friends Ami who will open together at home.

Fasting in Germany this spring is indeed very long, 18-19 hours. Start fasting from three o'clock in the morning and only open at ten o'clock in the evening. That is why Ibu Sekar was very curious about the condition of Mr. Bagja and Gina who fasted very long. But the retired considered it a special concern.

"Until this moment I'm more comfortable making friends, Kang. However, the love for children is greater than loving yourself, let alone others. Especially for Ami. Another girl who needs attention and affection. If I get married again, I'm afraid I can't just share the attention you and the kids have."

"I told you I would love your children like my own. It's okay if you stick with the stance. I can wait patiently for you. Until the time you feel tired and defeated until your heart gives up."

"The stubborn one."

"Not stubborn. But never give up."

Sekar's mother let out a long sigh recalling the long distance conversation earlier in the fast. I don't know when exactly. Mr. Bagja asked to be called Akang. At first it was awkward to change the call. But over time, I get used to it.

[If Akang returns before Lebaran, I will cook it for you and Gina myself]

[It was a long time ago kang, there are friends Ami want bukber]

Sekar's mother kept her phone to the room as soon as she heard a rowdy sound coming from the living room. Ami has just welcomed the arrival of his friends numbering 10 people.

"Mi, there's a courier." Say the last incoming clan.

Ami frowned. Not feel order. Unsurprisingly he came out to a yellow-jacketed courier standing under the porch.

"With Ami Tea Blankets?" The courier asked along with a smiling expression. May feel amused by the recipient's name that feels unique.

Ami nods. "What is this, Mang? I didn't order anything today." It is still filled with wonder. Moreover, the courier who came in yellow jacket. Not a green jacket like his.

"The address is clear here, Teh. This is the order on behalf of the APB." The courier showed the app on his phone.

Only then did Ami wake up and nod with a cramped face. Whereas last night during a video call after tarawih, he only told Akbar that there would be friends to go home to open together. And Akbar responded by putting on a frowning face because he was jealous of the opportunity to open together.

"Goodoo, Mang."

Ami peeked at the contents of two large, white plastic bags that turned into her hands. One bag contains three doughnuts of honey. One more bag of ice drink kuwut Bali. He immediately reached into the phone in his pants pocket to contact Akbar.

"Sister..."

"What, honey? Shocked to get a delivery." Akbar first cut off Ami's words. Already guessed the direction Cutie spoke of it.

"Yes. Ish, why do you like to make surprises without saying anything."

Akbar laughed off the other end of the phone. "If deket I answer your lips. Where's the surprise confirmation first, Cutie."

Ami normalizes lips. Akbar could tell that his lips were pursed. His position called while shifting to the end of the wall for fear of sounding Mom.

"I deliberately just order a snack because the meal menu must already exist. Happy bukber, Cutie. I was also again in Kelapa Gading, invited bukber same friend who was a birthday. Happy for you and all."

"Thank you, Panda. Take care of your eyes and keep your heart! Remember yes in Ciamis there is an ATK!"

"Yes, honey. I am already sorry-Ami. Where can be contaminated with toxic. The kangennya has spilled this. I can't wait to get laid."

Ami bit her lips with both hot and blushing cheeks. It is not necessary to describe how warm the heart every time it is called 'honey'. The connection ended after he said hello.
