The day is getting late. Jasmine had fallen asleep as the clockwork pointed in the direction of eleven nights. But at 3 p.m., the girl woke up from her sleep. After relieving her drowsiness, Melati walked to the bathroom.
Jasmine then take ablution. When she finished, the girl exited her bathroom, walking to the corner of the room to pick up her prayer mat and her Mukenah. Wearing it. Then began to perform the Tahajud prayer service, and Istikharah.
Melati khusuk in his prayers. When he finished, he immediately raised his hand. Praying to the Creator. Ask for the best choice . Finished praying Melati rubbed her face. Wishing the Creator to grant his prayers and wishes. Then he lay back in his bed. Trying to close his eyes for a moment. While waiting for dawn.
...***...
This morning the Hendrawan family had gathered in the dining room. Breakfast with family is a joy in itself for Melati.
In the past when he was still in Sedayu village, Melati always had breakfast with his Father and Adoptive Mother. Although not fancy but while telling stories, joking is really delicious.
"Mel..what time's college?" asked Anita while feeding a small piece of bread with her favorite peanut butter.
Melati looked at the Mami ."Afternoon Mi.so there are four courses today.two in the morning and two in the afternoon."
"Don't forget lunch. Even though it is as busy as it is" Anita warned. Melati replied with a nod.
"Where is Rey's branch.is it safe?" this time he asked Hendrawan. Reyhan who was enjoying kwetiau noodles immediately raised his head. Looking towards Hendrawan.
"Alhamdulillah. Pi.stock ink is still a lot. There are also many pi. Kemaren. Hexamindo has already submitted a contract for fabric tender to our company. And it's in Resnu's same handle." Reyhan's story.
Hearing Resnu's name, Hendrawan and Anita immediately looked at Melati. The girl raised her eyebrows next door when she saw her parents looking at her.
Anita smiles.
"Why am I squirming?" tanyanya then looked embarrassed.
" Haha..Melati salting Mi...!" reyhan chuckled. Melati pursed her lips.
"Where? has Mel decided.?" anita looked at her daughter's face.
"Not Mi. Last night Istikharah prayer. Tomorrow Mel try again. If you have any guidance from God. Will Mel like to know Mami, Papi and Mas Reyhan." he said.
Anita, Hendrawan and Reyhan nodded. They're all waiting for Melati's decision. May whatever decision Melati makes, the best be the hope of her parents and siblings.
Melati glanced at the clock that was coiled around her wrist. It's been seven past thirty minutes. Melati then said goodbye to her parents and Reyhan, to leave for the office.
On the terrace, the driver who used to drive and pick up Melati was ready with his car. Mr. Heru is Anita's personal driver.
"Go to campus Non?" asked Mr. Heri while glancing at the front rearview mirror.
"Yes sir,"
Shortly after, the car started to run. Exit the complex and then enter the highway that began to crowded.
About forty minutes, the car carrying Melati has arrived at the parking lot of Abdi Bangsa campus. After getting out of the car, he went straight into his class. In front of the class was Reva his best friend and the others.
Jasmine approaching Reva.
"Hey..busy chat aja. ampe did not want me to come?"
Reva looked at Melati right behind her.
"Yes pardon.sorry beastie.not look at me.sorry yes.." Melati. Reva chuckles.
"New nyampe lo?"
"Yes.in between Mr. Heru,"
"Oh, isn't it the same kind of handsome you are, is it?"
Melati. Reva immediately pulled out Melati's hand. Take him to class. He sat on the number two bench from the front.
"I think you're sleep-deprived, Mel?"
" Not really!"
"Ah cook anyway? apparently..."
"Udah ah.don't look me in the eye that's why!"
Reva chuckled at Melati's annoyed voice. Not long after the lecturer entered. Two hours they were engrossed in listening to the explanation of the Emir Doctor.
After tidying up her books and stationery, Melati followed Reva's steps to the campus cafeteria.
Reva and Melati choose a chair in the canteen. View the menu list.
"What do you want to order?"
"It's like grilled rice and manggo juice." said Melati while staring at the menu list.
"OK."
Not long after, the waitress came to them.
"Order what Mommy?" waitresses take notes. And ready to write the menu ordered by the two beautiful girls.
"She ordered grilled rice with mango juice, I ordered chicken noodles, same orange juice."
"There are still others .mbak?"
"That's it," replied Reva flatly. The waiter leaves Melati and Reva, returning to the kitchen room.
Ten minutes of food was ready. Melati and Reva enjoy in silence.
Finish eating, both directly to the mosque on the edge of the fence Campus. They walked to the toilet. After finishing taking the second wudhu, go straight to the mosque and perform the prayer of the Zuhr.
As he was about to step outside the Mosque a voice called out the name of Melati. The two girls looked towards the voice. They look at each other.
"Cowok you tuh. Gih sana meet. Not yet in class!" advice Reva.
Melati. He didn't know what he was going to say to Resnu. Melati looked at Reva again.
"There go!"
"Wait for me Rev?" pinta Jasmine. Reva nodded. Then walk leaving Melati towards the campus park. The campus has a garden, growing bonsai with a beautiful shape. And under the shady wood tree, there are several long chairs made of iron that are in shape so that the shape is very beautiful.
So Reva sat on the park bench. While his eyes can not be separated to pay attention to Melati and her lover.
"How are you doing Mel?" soft Resnu greetings. Melati stared at the face of Resnu garden at a glance then looked at Reva who was sitting on a shady tree.
"Well," he said short.
"Sorry I haven't seen you yet, because I'm busy . And also take Pakde and Bude pilgrimage to the tomb of papa and mama."
"We're sitting there, will we?" haggar Resnu because he felt it was impossible to chat in front of his campus. Too many people will walk past them. Melati nodded in agreement. Then walk behind Resnu. The man felt a little strange. Why is Melati so changed. 'Is it the same with jasmine?' whispered of Resnu's heart.
After getting a seat on a shady tree, the lovers sat next to each other. Melati is still down. It feels so sad. Loving the man who turns out to be the nephew of the man who has given grief to his family.
Pak Harjo's torture to Mr. Herman, Mr. Jasmine's adoptive father. The love in her heart slowly disappeared. Melati wants to tell the truth, but she does not want to make Resnu disappointed.
But if this relationship continues, it will definitely make Melati's feelings more hurt.
"Mel..kok be quiet? Why not get excited?"
"Don't you like meeting me?" tanya Resnu stared fixedly at the pretty face of the girl.
Melati glanced at Resnu's face. Then his eyes looked ahead.
"Mel is okay..It's just that, for now, Mel wants us not to meet first. Because Mel wants to make sure. Does Mel still want to be his partner Mas Resnu. Or back off" Melati replied slowly.
Melati's answer surprised Resnu. He did not think at all if the girl He loved and loved was still doubtful of his love. How could?
"What makes you doubt so Mel? Isn't it from the beginning of our relationship that you want clarity of your status? Then what is the cause. I really don't understand. Since the time of
your home is with Pakde and Bude. You never answer the phone or reply to Wa mas.What's the matter?"
Melati took a deep breath. Then he looked at Resnu's face.
"No.the reason can't be Mel say the same Mas now. Mel wants us not to meet first!" said firmly.
"Sorry Mas. Mel still has class this afternoon.Mel entered first," said Melati. Then immediately left Resnu who sat dumbstruck staring at the departure of Melati.
Resnu was still sitting dumbstruck, until the shadow of the girl's body was no longer visible.
