Love 2 DOA
22 Ch: First Call

At night, after Mary and Grandma finished eating, she went to her bedroom. Later, Maria slowly opened the grocery bag which was a gift from Ahmad.

Maria was really surprised, when she saw that the gift that Ahmad gave was a new Android phone.

For a moment, Maria could only fall silent staring at the gift given to her. When he picked up the phone, he saw it for a while and turned it on.

Maria then observed and checked all the applications, then she saw the name contact and there was only 1 contact only. Strangely there is no name, there is only 1 picture of red heart only.

For a moment Mary hesitated and was a little worried, but she readied her heart and pressed the call button to the number.

Tutt's.... Tutt's..

The sound of calling rang to anyone at the end there. It didn't take long, someone picked up the phone.

"Hallo." said Maria.

"Hi." replied Ahmad softly.

"Ahmadis... I'm guessing, surely you put the phone number on this phone" said Maria

Ahmad only laughed a little at it.

"Where?. Likey? " ask Ahmad who was in his bed while lying down.

"That's great. I don't know how to repay your kindness?" Mary laid her body on her bed

Ahmad was silent and did not reply to anything.

"Ahmad, why?" Maria asked worriedly, because Ahmad did not speak.

"There is nothing" Ahmad said in a soft voice.

"You got a problem?" ask Maria to worry.

"No. Everything is fine" Ahmad replied trying to calm Maria down.

"Can I ask you something?" ask Ahmad

"Can.. Just ask" Maria replied seriously

"Do you think that forced love has a happy ending or even sadness?"ahmad asked in a soft voice.

"Hmmm.. In my opinion, that forced love will end up hurting each other. Everything that is forced is not good" answered Mary softly and seriously answered Ahmad's question.

"so yeah... What does it mean that the struggle of someone who fell in love was in vain?" asked Ahmad again in a very slow tone.

"Ahmadis... There is nothing in vain from the word struggle. Whatever it is, if we fight it will get results. Whether it's satisfactory or not, it depends on our choice"

"As you speak, it is as if you have experienced much of the sourness and bitterness of the world. I felt it when you told me that we were raining some time ago"

"really?. I didn't realize it. It's just that I see the darkness of the world more than the light of the world itself." Mary replied in a firm tone but there was sadness and pain in it.

"Oh yeah, by the way you know I don't have Widya's phone?" guess Mary

"Yes... Are you angry?" ahmad was worried.

"Not at all, I'm used to situations like this. And I'm sure something happened to make Widya say it" Maria replied calmly.

"For a moment, I feel you have a lot of secrets that I don't know, it feels curious" Ahmad said without further ado

"I'm sorry, if I just speak" Ahmad added

"There is nothing good you can take and know, from my secrets and my past. Everything was just a sea of darkness that was ready to devour at any moment. So don't worry, let alone be curious" said Maria as she stared at her reflection from behind the glass.

"Now, you are making me even more curious" Ahmad murmured inwardly.

"Oh yes, there is something I would like to ask between you and Nek Aisyah. Is that okay?" asked Ahmad softly.

"Ohh.. It's not okay. Widya also asked the same thing"

"Mr Aisyah was a great person who helped me and took care of me when many bad things happened and tried to destroy me. She was Mary as her own grandmother. And I love her so much" Maria's words were filled with pride when telling about Grandma.

"i see's.. She's a great person" Ahmad said

"I know" answered Maria briefly.

"Ahmad." call Mary subtle.

"Hmmm." said Ahmad.

"If you have any more problems, tell me. Don't hold it, it'll hurt." ask Maria

"If there is something that you cannot tell me, Ahmad better pray. Don't forget that God is a better listener than anyone. Sorry if Maria is like patronizing, but Ahmad do not forget to pray yes" pinta Maria gently.

"Yes Mar, thank you." Ahmad said with a smile looking at the sky of his room.

"If so, Mary should go to sleep immediately. Tomorrow morning Mary must come to the Church, because tomorrow is my first day to the Church near here" said Maria

"Ohh.. I'm sorry, for taking your time" Ahmad apologized.

"No Mad, I love talking to you. You're a great friend"

The words of the friend, seemed to stab into the heart of Ahmad

"Yes Mar, until later" Ahmad waited for Maria to close the phone first.

"Yes Mad, bye.. " Mary shut her phone.

At 11pm, Ahmad was still lying in bed thinking about many things.

"Only you are Mar, who can make me go crazy like this" Ahmad murmured as he closed his eyes with his arm

Ahmad just fell silent and did not do anything and just stared at the picture of him and Maria while at the house of Nek Aisyah.

Then the photo while they are walking in the City Park while enjoying a variety of culinary. Not only photos, Ahmad even took a video of Maria road next to him and tried roadside snacks.

Ahmad smiled at him himself. Ahmad then put his cell phone and saw it when it showed at 12 pm. Ahmad immediately got out of bed and went to take ablution.

Then he spread out the prayer rug, and presented himself to Allah and did his duty to pray.

Ahmad prayed solemnly and humbled himself before the creator.

"O Allah, O my Lord, I surrender to you for life and all things into Your hands, I do not know what to do with the turmoil that arises in the heart of my servant. let the destiny that You have prepared happen according to Your will.. Amens.. "

Then Ahmad began to tidy up his prayer mat and changed into a nightgown. He walked to the small cupboard in the corner, by the window and opened it.

There was a gray shirt with Naruto and Hinata on it, as well as a towel with Maria. Ahmad stared for a moment and closed the closet again.

"It seems like tomorrow I have to go see Widya. It's late at night, to call him. Better get to his house". Ahmad

"I'm sorry Maria. But it looks like I will plunge into the dark sea" Ahmad murmured inwardly
