TMS EPS 22: HAPPY TO HEAR IT

"I'm glad to hear this good news. Hopefully Erika will recover soon.

And about me. I don't worry about God's plan for my life, nor my soul mate, because I'm sure God knows when it's best for me to get it.

Because if we are fooled. God will certainly get closer, not distanced," said Syma so calm. His face lifted, as if telling Nora that he was not afraid of what would happen later.

"Basar ja*ang is shameless ! you can talk like you're a good woman. And you're just trash, who's been ruining people's households." harden Nora sharply.

"You're right. I'm not a good woman. I realized that my bad deeds were probably far more than my good ones that could only be counted on the fingers.

And if it were not for Allah covering up my disgrace, it would have been made certain that I was so despicable. I'm not a good man, but I always try to be good." Syma paused for a moment before continuing her speech. Showing Nora that she is not a weak woman who can be bullied.

"Then...What about yourself? What by reproaching others, you already feel so much better? I'm not a good person... But I'm also not sure that you're much better than me. Remember one thing Nora, we are basically equally despicable. It's just that God covers our disgrace !" Syma spoke while leaning her body.

Nora was already so furious with him. But it looks like Syma's words have not been finished until there.

"And one more....

don't like to judge others worse than you just because you know they've made some mistakes. You never know what you look bad at him turns out not to be something bad for others," Syma said deliberately emphasized his words.

His eyes turned to look at Ersad who was descending the stairs and stared at their collars with a questioning look. "Nora didn't say anything bad to you, did she?" asked Ersad who was immediately greeted by a warm smile from Syma.

"Em, I don't think so. Nora just reminds me of kindness" Syma looked at Nora. "Allowed Nora? I thought that was what you said earlier," he added.

Nora did not answer at all. The woman showed her hostility openly. And passed without saying a word.

While Ersad who has been very familiar with Nora's attitude. Surely knew that the girl had been rude to Syma.

"Don't mind anything he says" said Ersad, giving a light kiss on his wife's forehead. And also Zea. "I go first" she added again and Syma kissed the back of her hand before leaving.

"Be careful on the road, Mas."

Ersad smiled in response.

While Syma herself felt something strange inside her. A fear. Afraid of the time that will roll fast and will make them part. And this made him realize, that his words that seemed to show that he was a strong woman, were not worth his heart.

'Patience be kind, one day there will be the best place that can be your last port,' inner Syma looked at her husband's slowly disappearing back.

He really has given up whatever will happen later.

*****

As usual, Syma came to the orphanage. Different atmosphere because there is no more Alma there. But Syma could not forget it. It was only this place that made him feel that Alma was still nearby.

"Nda... Ze wants to play with Aina's sister" said Zea asked permission from her mother.

"alright sweetheart. Don't be naughty."

Zea immediately went to Aina to play. While Syma is still busy with her job to enroll some children who want to enter high school.

'All files are done. Looks like I have to meet the chairman of his foundation now' murmured Syma rushed away from there.

Syma stepped foot to meet the chairman of the foundation at the favorite school there. Which is where he used to go to school. Being a tauladan student because of her intelligence so she got a scholarship

there.

"Please come in" said the guard there.

Syma immediately went in there and found the chairman of the foundation was busy with his files.

"Assalamu'alaikum," Syma gave a greeting.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Syma was surprised by the chairman of the foundation. His face was not so unfamiliar, yet he also could not remember who the man was.

"What do you need to come here, madam?"

"I'm the counselor of the As-Benefit orphanage. I'm here to ask some of my foster kids to enroll in your favorite school, sir. And these..... "

"What do they have until how dare you enroll them in my school? You know for yourself the registration fee alone is very expensive, especially the month," he said half underestimated.

"You're right. We will not be able to pay the cost. But they are high achieving students. I came here to apply for a scholarship for them, sir."

Unexpectedly, the man chuckled at Syma.

"You seem to be very confident that your foster child is very smart. Do you not know that in this school so many students and students whose intelligence exceeds the average. They are well educated, and also fed a diet full of nutrients.

And your foster child? I think eating meat alone might be once a year, right?"

Syma laughed at hearing it. 'His looks are like this man, not in accordance with his ahklak. He can demean others so easily.

Although as strong as Syma, still his emotions began to be provoked. But he tried his hardest to hold it.

"But... "

"The school does not accept any more scholarships. If you want to go in, you have to pay. If there is no interest anymore please get out. " Once again Syma's speech was immediately interrupted with his spiciness. Then the man showed a rude gesture of expulsion.

Syma's hands were clenched tightly. His emotions are already in the crown. It was eager for him to tear apart this arrogant man before him.

"Based on cocky!"

Syma immediately moved from there with a feeling of annoyance. He did not stop rubbing his chest to be privileged.

While the man stared cynically at Syma who began to disappear from behind the door.

'You can forget who I am, Syma. My grudges will never be forgotten. You'll see how I'll make life difficult like you always made it difficult for me'

His name was Hariz Enggar Wijaya. The new chairman of the foundation, who had just been sworn in after succeeding his father.

High stature and thin athletic body. White with a face that has its own charisma.

It's been a long time since Hariz's grudge with Syma that has kept him in trouble. And now, he wanted to sue back with the woman. In a way that complicates his life. Hariz deliberately planned everything. Just to see Syma feel what she's been feeling before.
