Love But Different
Episode Twelve

After a long and winding process. Full of struggle, draining energy, mind to matter. The end of the thing that I am most looking forward to arrived also, after passing the lecture period for 4 years and 3 months, the end of my graduation also and officially hold a degree as a Bachelor of Economics. Although I am not among the students who graduated with the best predicate, but I am very satisfied with the value of ipk that I achieved. A few months later, Rendi also graduated. Now the status of students in ourselves has been separated, but this is the real journey of life. We have to compete, to get jobs with thousands if not hundreds of undergraduate graduates out there.

*tringg .. tring ...

My phone rang, with slow hand movements, I tried to grab my phone from the table.

" Hello, good morning dear." soft warm greeting I heard from the end of the phone.

" Yes, morning." I replied in a lethargic tone. Understand I just woke up.

" Hey, let's get up, dong."

" Yes, this is waking up."

" Oh yes San ... Today I have an interview, doain me yes." said Rendi told you.

" The spirit is .." I said to Rendi.

Then Rendi ended her call. I, who was still struggling with the blanket that morning, was surprised to hear my mother's voice calling me.

" Saniiiiiiii ..." her cry. I was surprised and woke up.

" Yes Mother."

" Said today there's a job interview, this hour hasn't been up yet."

* Degg ....

I had forgotten that today I had an interview, thankfully my mother woke me up with her golden voice. Well ... even so I thank him, for waking me up.

" Astagfirulloh" I said, patting my forehead. Then I hurried to get a towel and took a shower. As I passed by the mother who was busy with kitchen spices, she looked at me with a sharp gaze. Maybe you are furious with my behavior that is always lazy if you have to help him cook. Especially at this hour, I just woke up, God what kind of girl I am. I don't know, after years of living in a cosant, made my habits change. Habits in the cosant, who often wake up during the day, now I bring it home. Ah ... base me!

" Just woke up, jagan?" sapa mama quipped. I just chuckle at your mother's words.

" Sorry bun, don't help cook, I'm in a hurry" and then I sneak into the bathroom.

I don't know what demons, I took a shower that morning, very fast, lightning fast.

" Tumben cepet." said Mommy while putting a bowl of soup on the dining table.

" Hehe .... Hurriedly."

" It's not that it's still morning" said the mother insinuating me again.

" Nyindir terosssss .." I replied and ran away.

When I was ready, before leaving I took the time to eat breakfast.

" Where do you want to interview?" ask the father who is still relaxed in front of the tv.

Ah .. I don't understand why my family is so relaxed. Yes I know, Dad is a merchant, so it can be as he pleases, when you want to go to work.

" In the pawnshop." I replied while sneaking rice.

" May be accepted."

" Amin Well, thank you." I said then breakfast.

This afternoon is so hot. The sun is above the sea. I saw the clock in the hand, it turned out to have shown at half 12 noon. I also wanted to find the nearest mosque.

Today, I went to the area where my college used to be, all remembering the times when I was a student. Missed it too.

While riding a motorcycle, I felt my phone continue to vibrate. Then I put my motorbike off on the side of the road, to see who called. The voice of that phone call, apparently from Rendi. I decided to call him, who knows if there's any important business.

" Hello Ren, what's wrong?"

" Where else?"

" On the street, my college direction first."

" Oh same, I'm also around" he told me.

" Where are you?" I asked Rendi.

" In the photo of the copyan near the mosque, here is San." he asked, I agreed.

Then I drove my motorbike to where Rendi was.

Upon arrival, I saw Rendi sitting on a plastic chair, like she was photocopying something. I finally got to see Rendi, after a long time of not seeing each other.

Then I approached her, me and Rendi smiled.

" Have you been here?" my many.

" Not yet." replied Rendi, pulling the plastic chair and told me to sit down.

" Where are you going?" ask Rendi.

" Out of interview."

" What's the same dong, how do you go?"

" Today is still an interview. Later get an email, accept it or not." I replied. " Well, what about Ren?"

" Praise God, I received San." concluded with sparkling eyes. Thank goodness I was happy to hear it.

After a long time we talked. I heard the sound of the Adhan, a sign of the dhuzur prayer time.

" It was Adzan" said Rendi. I smiled, then nodded.

Well, this is how we are. Although different but still respect each other, remind each other to practice their respective beliefs. I don't know when it will be like this, but I'm very happy to be with Rendi until now.

" Are you done?" my many.

" This is" he answered and then paid for the photo.

" Where are we going after this?"

" Eat yuk." take Rendi.

" okay ... But I pray first. You just wait here, I'll be here again."

" Gk ah, I'm coming."

I also agree.

Then me and Rendi rushed to their respective motorcycles. Our motor began to drive away from the place of the copyan photo. Upon arrival in front of the mosque, I parked the motorbike at the place that had been provided.

" You wait here." I told Rendi.

" I'm going to wash my face" he said.

" Okay, yeah."

We both stepped towards the ablution place, of course I headed to the ablution place specifically for women, and Rendi to the place of male ablution.

After that, I performed the dzuhur prayer. No matter how busy I am, no matter where I am, thank God I never leave the five prayers.

When I was done, I came out of the mosque and I found Rendi sitting in the mosque waiting for me.

" Why wait here?" I asked while fixing the pink veil of salem I was wearing.

" Yes, Males wants to walk to the parking lot. Aren't I here?"

For a moment I looked at him, there was a hint of a feeling of dread that enveloped my heart. The moment I started in the thickets of fear, would Rendi and I be like this forever? will Rendi and I be together forever? That feeling that sometimes haunts me. Because I know, our relationship is not an easy thing to go through. Moreover, if both of our parents do not know it yet, ah I don't know if I want to think about it.

" It's not papa, it's yuk."

Rendi just nodded.

Seriate....
