Fakhri and his three friends were still talking about Keinara, as a man with a backpack on his back approached the girl. The arrival of the man did not escape the sight of Fakhri and friends.
“Assalamu’alaikum ukhti.” Greet the man named Dion, smiling and greeting Keinara.
“Wa’alaikumsalam Keinara replied with a greeting, and smiled.
The two then talked. Dion's witty carrying, often makes Keinara laugh until the edges. The conversation that was interspersed with jokes between Keinara and Dion, could not be separated from the attention of Fakhri. Is Fakhri jealous? Yes definitely. Fakhri is jealous because Dion can make Keinara laugh, while she's the other way around. Like something was clogging up Fakhri's airway, when he remembered what he had done to Keinara.
Ten minutes later came two pairs of young men joining Keinara and Dion. The four young men were friends of the Keinara campus, just like Dion. They purposely gather, to do group tasks, given by their lecturers. After a short conversation, the six math teacher candidates began to discuss after ordering food and drinks. Keinara who is considered the smartest among them, in the daulat as the leader of the discussion.
Occasionally Keinara glanced at Fakhri and his friends. His heart questioned why Fakhri had not left. The existence of Fakhri is the cause of the gerogi taste that he is feeling. Because Fakhri's gaze is often on him. Keinara tried to cover up his geroggi and remained focused on his activities until their discussion was over. After paying for food and drinks, Keinara and his friends moved on.
This time Fakhri was envied by Dion, because the man could hook Keinara without rejection, when he was about to go out of the cafe. Laughter Keinara and his five friends add to the bustling cafe, before they actually get out of the cafe.
“Kei..you bring motor,” Tanya Dion.
“No, I was here with friends.” Keinara answered while looking at her phone.
“I'll drive home huh?.” Ask Dion again.
“Not need...I've pesen ojol kok.”
“Oh yes already..I first yes. Bye...bye..pretty.” Pamit Dion blinks one of her eyes.
“Bye...bye Dion...be careful yes..” Reply Keinara while throwing a circle of tissue in his hand.
The two finally laughed until Dion passed away from the courtyard of the cafe.
Seeing Keinara walking himself out of the cafe area, Fakhri intended to catch up with him.
“Bro..I say goodbye first. We gather again sometime.” Fakhri said as he took out his wallet. He took out a card and handed it to the servant he called.
“Where are you?.” Ask Doni.
“Most want to chase the bluff, who knows can be in sosor again ha...ha...” Vano.
“Damn you....Already well, I go first.”
Finished making the payment, the man rushed out of the cafe. Fakhri seemed to be looking for the existence of Keinara who was standing under a lie near the highway. Girl in pastel color hijab, is waiting for the online ojek in the message through the application. Fakhri approached Keinara along with
the arrival of the motorcycle which is the Ojek order Keinara. Before Keinara got on the motorbike, Fakhri suddenly preceded the girl's move towards the ojek's brother. Keinara is shocked by Fakhri's sudden arrival.
“Mas, sorry my boyfriend did not go up, because I have come to pick him up. I love money as compensation.” Fakhri said while giving two pieces of money in red.
Ojol's brother accepted happily without any rejection or protest. Then the man left.
Keinara still could not believe what he saw. Fakhri again upset him.
“Sorry Kei, I didn't mean to upset you. I just want to ask you for a minute. Can?.”
“I'm busy, no time.” Reply Keinara in an annoyed tone.
Fakhri scratched his non-itchy head. His desire to quickly make up with Keinara increasingly urged him. But Keinara seemed reluctant to forgive himself.
“Yuk I'll take you home.” Fakhri softly said.
“Still, I can go home by myself, no need in inter.” Answer Keinara while opening the ojek application to order it back.
I don't know what's on Fakhri's mind, so he quickly picks up Keinara's phone, and takes her away to his car.
“Mas..what are you doing, give me back my phone.” Shouted Keinara recklessly chasing after Fakhri who kept going.
After arriving at the car, Fakhri opened the car door for Keinara.
“Kei...I will restore your phone if you want to sign in.”
“I don't want to..cepet give me back my phone.” Shouted Keinara annoyed.
“I won't return it, if you don't want me to drop off.”
“Mas...please, return my phone.” Keinara's voice is high
“You're not in?.” Ask Fakhri in a slow tone.
Because many people were paying attention, Keinara was forced to finally get into the car. Fakhri smiled triumphantly. Witnessed by his three friends who had become spectators.
Fakhri answered by holding his thumb up high, while getting into the car.
“Where is my phone, quickly return it!.“ Keinara said sharply, with outstretched hands asking for the phone that Fakhri kept in his pants pocket.
“I'll definitely give it back. But later.”
“Now...!!!.”
“Now Kei.” Fakhri replied with great emphasis.
Keinara was really upset. Her face flushed. He finally chose silence, and turned his face out the window. Letting Fakhri take her somewhere.
Fakhri let Keinara with his attitude and focus on driving her car somewhere . After a fifteen minute journey, they arrived at a place with such a beautiful view.
“Down yuk Kei..” Bring Fakhri.
Keinara rushed down and left Fakhri for a gasebo. Moments later, the two were sitting opposite in a gasebo set in a vast lake surrounded by flower gardens and shady trees. Keinara still threw away his face. While Fakhri was only able to look at the girl who seemed to be holding back his anger.
“Now what do you want to talk about, quickly say. I don't have much time.”
Keinara was still in control of his anger. But that doesn't make fakhri intent to ask for
sorry receding.
“Kei..I want to apologize for my actions at that time. I was really happy at the time, it all just happened. I didn't intend to do it. Really Kei, all because of the anger and jealousy that has closed my mind. Maybe my mistake was so big that it hurt you, and maybe my mistake was not worth forgiving. I regret Kei. Allow me to keep wishing you an apology. Please forgive me, just open your sorry door for me, Kei. I'll continue to be haunted by guilt if I haven't got an apology from you.” Fakhri said sincerely and regretfully.
Keinara still threw away his face. The girl seemed to take a deep breath. Trying to ease the emotions that have dominated his heart and mind. Set your heart to be more calm facing the man who is waiting for an apology from him. Though hesitant, the girl tried to straighten her head, straightening her gaze at Fakhri.
Look into his eyes deeply. The little lips of the keinara finally unraveled the word, which represented his heart.
“Mas Fakhri's....Whatever the reason I can't accept what you did. I feel like I have been degraded. But as a human being far from perfect, it feels arrogant if I don't forgive you. Although it is actually difficult, I forgive you Fakhri.”
A word of apology for Fakhri finally came out of Keinara's lips. It brings happiness to Fakhri's heart.
“Is that Kei?.”
Kei nodded slowly with a flat face.
“Thank you Kei.” Fakhri said with a radiant face.
“I sincerely forgive you mas. But I ask, after this we don't have to see each other again. Stay away from me and I will stay away from you. Let's forget each other. Suppose we never met and knew each other.”
Fakhri's heart that had just felt happy, in a matter of seconds again felt bitter. Like a clear sky suddenly turning cloudy. Not expecting the girl he loved so much, asking him to stay away after apologizing.
“Content kei, have opened your sorry door. But the request to stay away from you feels heavy to me Kei. I doubt I can do it. My love is too deep for you, I can't stay away from you Kei. So please don't ask for it.” Fakhri begged.
“Sorry, this time Fakhri can not force me. Because basically we shouldn't be friends, considering who I am and who Fakhri is. We better not know each other. What has happened between us, suppose never happened.” Keinara said with a trembling voice.
”And I think enough of our talk. Please give me back my phone.”
Fakhri hopes that what is happening is a dream, but unfortunately everything is a reality that he must be able to accept. With a heavy heart Fakhri returned Keinara's cell phone, which had been stored in her pants pocket.
“Alright Kei. I'll try to stay away from you, even if I'm not sure I can do it...” Fakhri tried to harden his heart.
“
Mas Fakhri please go home first, I still want to be here.“ Keinara's speech cuts off Fakhri's speech
not finished.
“Kei, let me take you home, for the last time. Because for the next, I will try to fulfill your wishes.But that if you are willing to take me home, I will not force.”
“Sorry, I can't go home with Fakhri. I still want to be here. Mas Fakhri come home.”
“Alright, if that's what you want Kei, I'll go. Thanks for forgiving me. And thank you for being present in my life lately. I'm pampering. I love you Kei.....Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Wa’alaikumsalam.” Keinara replied quietly with a trembling heart hearing Fakhri's expression of love
With heavy steps, Fakhri left Keinara alone where he had been with her. The heartbroken young man drove out his car but not for long. Because the young man returned to park his car not far from where it was originally. Fakhri wanted to wait until the girl came home. Fakhri parked his car between
another visitor's car. From inside the car, Fakhri can see the unmoved Keinara from his place.
