Loving Brother Lift
Chapter 27

"I'm sorry, La. Make you disappointed." Dimas could feel Nirmala's disappointment from his tone.

"Aren't you going home at 4, brother? Permission, today, yes. After all, it was like in an office that used to work until 4 aja? Unless you're overtime? How are the rules so different now?" Nirmala is still trying to negotiate hope Dimas wants to prioritize him from his job.

"No way, La. My old work is the same now it is different. I used to be a regular mechanic, now I'm in his office. Not in the workshop like before. So the working hours are also different, longer. Also I do not feel good, if only briefly moved to work here already dare the permits to go home spit. Again sorry, La, I can't accompany you to buy her sportswear. Did you buy yourself, papa? I'll send money to your account to buy." Dimas reaffirmed but still provide a way out.

"Judah no papa, brother. I really want to meet Dimas. Apparently can't. Yaudah, tomorrow next time. I bought my own clothes, no problem. He said there's a clothing store near here, I'll just go there." Nirmala relented, she could not force it, because it was related to Dimas's work. Rather than Dimas getting into trouble, right? It was better for him to swallow the disappointment of not being able to meet Dimas. Yesterday they had just met, so it was okay, he thought.

"You can still use an ATM, right there? Not collected to the manager?" Dimas.

"There you are, brother. Still the usual. Children can still bring ATMs. The important thing is to take care of yourself, and if it is lost, the manager does not want to take responsibility." Nirmala explains the rules at her cottage.

"Okay, I'm transferring, yeah." Dimas.

"okay, Sis. L waited. Thanks, yeah!" Nirmala said flatly, not as cheerfully as earlier. Because the goal is not just money, but meeting Dimas is the priority.

"Okay, I transfer after this is turned off." Dimas.

"okay, Sis. Yaudah I turn it off first, afraid to interrupt work, if the phone is too long." Nirmala decided to end her call alone, rather than her growing disillusioned

"okay, La. Ma'am...." Nirmala ended her call, before Dimas finished his closing words.

Without notice, clear grains flowed from the corner of Nirmala's eye.

"Just the first day has been like this, how next? Dimas still prioritizes his work. Even though if the position is higher, it should be easier for permits. What's wrong with going home an hour early? Not every day, right? Hhh. Yes already. I'm not a priority for Dimas." Nirmala muttered to herself. Although many santri passed by, he did not care.

Shortly after the call was cut off, a single message went into the HP that Nirmala was still holding tightly.

[Udah I'm a tranfer, La. Sorry can't you buy her sportswear.]

Nirmala immediately retorted even though she was irritated, but she did not want to make Dimas think.

[Okay, Brother. No papa. Many thanks. Don't reply again, his HP I want to give to Ustadzah.]

After sending the message, Nirmala immediately deleted the message she sent and she received. He did not want his message with Dimas to be read by Ustadzah or any other santri.

"Ust, here's the HP. Thank you very much, yes." Nirmala returned the HP to Ustadzah, then returned to the room.

After that, Nirmala gave permission to the head of the room to go to the ATM and buy sports clothes. Although it felt weak because it did not meet Dimas, but he had to keep walking to the ATM also to the clothes store. Unfortunately the two places are opposite directions, making the close distance feel far away. After getting what was needed, Nirmala returned to the room. He established himself, he must be ready to follow the activities at the cottage or at school later

The following days, Nirmala followed the activities in the cottage and at school well. Although sometimes also subject to punishment, but there is no punishment that hurts, the punishment is only memorizing and depositing memorization only, according to the level of wrongdoing made.

In school, it was like school in general. There are both male and female students in the same class. Not distinguished, as in the cottage. So, santri son and daughter can still meet at school, if they are at the same school.

"La! Look, the Dony from earlier look at you!" Rahma who became my friend Nirmala whispered to Nirmala.

"Judah, justin!" Nirmala cuek's. He still loves reading the comics he brought from home. Comics give Dimas first.

"I think he likes you." Rahma has not given up.

"Well, why should I do this?" Nirmala still does not care about Rahma.

"Yes, you don't have to do anything, anyway. Just a little strange, you are considered a handsome guy and as cool as Dony really do not want to do that. Do you have a boyfriend? How come you never told me?" Rahma was anxious with Nirmala's attitude which she thought was too indifferent.

"No, I don't have a boyfriend, I do." Nirmala finally lost focus, she closed her comic book.

"By trus? Why aren't you interested in Dony?" Rahma was still curious.

"Are you not going out? Fear sins? Wow, that's cool of you, La!" Rahma clapped her hands softly while shaking her head, mimicking the style of people who often appear on TV shows.

"Geez, I'm not that bad, Ma! Oh, crazy, I changed drastically. Complete prayers only after here, cover the aurat also since here, so do not be happy right? How many sins are there?" Nirmala did not accept being considered that way.

"Oh, kirain. Hehe. Why don't you take that Dony?" Rahma returned to the topic about Dony.

"How should I be nanggepin? The guy he's not doing anything. Also say no, I don't want a caper-caper first. Ntar is calculated to-PD. Ih, shame!" Nirmala gave her reason.

"Yes too, yaudah tomorrow just wait for time. He's been giving you more codes for a long time." Rahma smiled seductively at Nirmala.

"Udah ah, don't think that hasn't happened yet. Do not expect something uncertain, fear even heartache. Disappointed by his own expectations." Nirmala said smartass.

"Weh, what a hell of a bitch, La! I think it's from the heart." Rahma laughed, hearing Nirmala's words of pearl.

"Laughter keep going!" Nirmala just sewot.

"Haha, yeah, sorry, sorry." Rahma nodded, without feeling guilty.

In Nirmala's heart, "You don't know, Ma. I can't open my heart to anyone else. No matter how good he is, I am still inferior compared to the person I like right now. The only problem is that he is married, and his bodon I still continue to hope that one day I can be with him. Sometimes I have to be disappointed. It's been my choice of risk."
