Love But Different
Episode Seven

It's been 10 minutes since I read whatsapp from Rendi, but I haven't responded yet. I was confused as to what to reply and where to start.

" Sani's? Did you sleep? How is it just to read doang?" Rendi sent a message back.

" Eh, not yet."

" You're angry, don't you like my words?"

Well, I'm so confused how this should be. I also don't want Rendi to be wrong because whatsapp I never reply.

" I'm confused Ren." I reply

" Bewildered why San? If you don't like it, I don't mean it."

" It's not Ren."

" Keep what?"

" I'm confused as to what to say and what to do."

" Why be confused. You just reveal your heart, even if you don't like it I don't know why."

" Yes Ren." I replied briefly because I was completely overwhelmed with confusion.

" Yes what San?"

I was still hesitant to say "Yes Ren I like you too" until a few times the sentence I wrote then I deleted it again just so many times. Until finally Rendi sent whatsapp again.

" What exactly is it that you already have San's girlfriend?"

* Degg..

Kok Rendi even thought so, my inner self. Some time I started to bounce my heart and gathered all my courage to say 'Yes' to her. I started to press whatsapp keyboard and write..

" Yes Ren, I'm actually a little embarrassed. But I like you too." I pressed the send button.*plongg

It was so good to have told Rendi the truth, even though there was still a sense of shame covering me.

Two minutes passed by the message I sent to Rendi was not yet blue-tongued, I was more and more anxious waiting for a reply from her.

A few moments later

" It's serious" I replied

" So we're dating now?"

" You think?" I asked back.

" If I think starting tonight we're officially dating." reply Rendi with an emoticon smile.

Tonight the peak of my happiness feels so perfect. But I still feel like a dream if me and Rendi are now officially dating. Ah my dear Rendi.

" Hehe is."

" I'm grateful, Yes, you're asleep now" Rendi told me.

" Yes you too."

" Okay, good night baby." Rendi's reply made me flower.

Hah tonight I can sleep very well with a matchless feeling of happiness.

The days keep passing. My relationship with Rendi has entered the 6th month. All this time our relationship went well, although sometimes interspersed with small fights, but I think it is natural in every relationship.

But the more I got to know Rendi, the more I caught something different from her, the more I started to suspect something. Not suspicious of Rendi because she has another girl or something. But this is more of a personal matter that I don't really need to be involved in. But as long as I'm dating her, I just feel weird.

For example, every Sunday. Every Sunday morning until noon Rendi never told me. He will call around 2pm and it always happens on Sundays. Like his thing again every Friday I always told him to go to the mosque, to perform Friday prayers like men in general. But Rendi was always tickling, she always had a reason to refuse my orders. Once and twice I could still accept every excuse he gave, but as time went on I felt strange and suspicious.

Even I had thought if it turned out that all this time Rendi was not a Muslim. But as soon as I can clear my strange thoughts.

Some time ago precisely on Sunday, my classmate never accidentally saw Rendi out of a place of Christian worship. But she was not so sure if it was Rendi, but from her gait and posture it was indeed Rendi. When I heard the story from my friend, I didn't believe it at first. I was thinking maybe my friend was wrong to see, or it could be that the person he saw was a person who only resembled Rendi.

I actually wanted to ask Rendi directly, but I think it's disrespectful. Ah I'm so confused now.

Seriate....

Look forward to the next story in Episode Eight.
