...There was a time that brought me back to a time when we were still together...
...However, there was a time when I forgot everything that reminded me of you....
...And now, I'm in a time where I understand that all things are not good if they are too forced....
...Therefore, I try to make peace with the situation even though in the heart of other desires....
A clear Sunday morning in the rainy season. The sun shines brightly after the rain is relentless overnight until dawn.
The chirping of birds behind trees welcomes the day to rest for some people from his dense routine.
Including for Nabila who is this week is free from all activities, except the agenda goes to the market to shop for groceries and all its printouts.
He was sitting on the porch, watching the complex mothers who were busy crowding the vegetable maker while waiting for Zahra who was preparing inside.
He chuckled to himself at how excited the mothers were to sort out vegetables with occasional gossip and laugh, what a pleasant morning view in enjoying.
“ Ra, in front there is a greengrocer !!! wanna come with? I'm gonna go get a snack up front. All in order not to know the complex mothers, will soon want to stay here !! ” Shouted Nabila on Zahra who was somehow still busy what was in there.
Zahra is seen walking a little run up to her with the occasional tidying up her hijab and her appearance.
" Maybe, all friends are with neighbors. What do you want to buy anyway? Not that we want to go to the market.”
“You buy small pastries. Make a stomach odd. As well as want to kill the mothers in front, it has long been like he did not talk to them. ” replied Nabila while stepping towards the vegetable seller who stopped right in front of the gate of his house.
“ Asalamualaikum, morning mothers.” greet Nabila when the two of her join the others.
“ Waalaikum greetings, eh doctor Nabila, added clear aja Neng. Tumben out to shop yes?” reply to another.
Nabila shook her head while smiling
“ Not really Bu, just another pingen snack. All of you want to know a friend, who will later also stay here with me.” Nabila replied with a nod by all those who were there.
“ Whose name is neng, doctor too huh? “ ask mom RT. Making Zahra instantly smile and nod kindly to the mothers in front of her.
" Yes Bu, precisely his prospective doctor. "sahut Nabila quickly in tandem with zahra piety beside him.
Then Zahra cupped into her two hands to the front of her chest, smiling kindly greeting all. “ recognize Bu my name is Zahra.” Answer her politely.
“ Ohah, wuayu tenan euy her friend neng Nabila this, equally beautiful.” Connect Odah's mother who lives next door to Nabila's house.
They all laughed, when they heard the praise for the two.
Nabila and Zahra can only smile, not input in the heart. Because mothers are like that. There are topics that can always be discussed every day.
Speaking of mother, Nabila so miss his mother who was at home. He now thinks, Maybe he'll call her later.
“Mang yoyo, there is ayu putu no ya?” ask Nabila to the vegetable seller.
“ Ada Neng, but only six pieces left.” Answer mang yoyo.
Nabila nodded, “ is okay mang se_ there is only.”
He then paid fifty thousand in mang yo-yo and immediately wanted to leave, but once stepped he was called back.
“ Uh, wait Neng. In a hurry, this is his change.”
Nabila shook her smile.
“ his change in simple just make mang yoyo.” Reject it while giving back the change.
“ Mature suwun Neng.”
“ Yes mang equally. Moms let me first excuse me. ” his farewell to everyone who is there.
Just now Nabila wants to move again from there, but the voice of Bu RT again stops his steps.” Neng Nabila wait !! Just want to ngingetin aja, next week do not forget his recitation turn at the mosque Nurul Qur’an. The pesantren is very famous and great, he said later to commemorate khaul one of the founding children of the boarding school.”
" Whoa...., the end after a long wait, the completion of the study there also ya ma'am. Can not wait after waiting in line for so long, the Majlis taklim we can study there as well. "sahut fat mothers.
Nabila was fixated, her legs suddenly heavy to step, her whole body felt limp instantly. Accompanied by various kinds of thoughts that are breezing buana somewhere, just last night he wanted to start making peace with the situation, he said, but this morning he was again faced with a situation that led to a past that he was eager to forget.
" Yes, Neng Nabila should come. Said the mothers of the next complex who had studied there, the mosque is spacious. And the content of his studies is very weighty. What are the other Santri, really. !!"
Nabila could only look at his best friend with a soft look, and as if he understood Zahra immediately took Nabila's hand for him to hold, channel a little into the strength to keep the spirit with his initial intentions last night that will start making peace with all of his today.
Zahra nodded, gesturing for Nabila to immediately agree to the request of the complex mothers. “ Yes Bu, insya Allah Nabila comes as usual.” He replied, turning to walk towards the house. Making Bu RT and the mothers a little surprised by the look of Nabila's face that immediately changed one hundred and eighty dejat from the originally cheerful to sad.
" It's okay Bill, we'll face it together okay. Don't keep dodging because it's not good" Zahra said as she walked and patted her hand.
Nabila breathed her long breath. " Bishimoo. God willing I am ready to try to make peace with all of Ra. "
" good. The spirit!....excite!! "
