MY BOYFRIEND LECTURER
SN 79'S
“Faisal,” call Bu Fatima making Faisal's footsteps stop and turn his head.
Ms. Fatima noticed Faisal's neat appearance, her fragrant aroma and bright sparkling face.
“Why, Mom? Speak up, I want to go see Zalfa immediately, I'm sure he must be waiting for me now.” Faisal looked impatiently wanting to immediately step out of the room.
Seeing Faisal excited, Ms. Fatima fell silent instead.
“So you've already told me about what happened to you during your disappearance, then it's time for Mom to tell you about what happened here during your leave.” Fatima's mother approached Faisal.
Faisal scrunched his forehead. Wondering to see his mother's face stiffening.
“Speak!” faisal waited patiently. Both ends of his hands went into the pockets of his pants.
“Forget Zalfa. Zalfa is getting married.”
The voice came not from the mouth of Fatima, but from Mr. Ibrahim who was standing in the doorway.
Faisal did not show a surprised expression, did not ask much, nor did he look in shock. Mr. Ibrahim was devastated to see Faisal's calm attitude after earlier seemed eager to meet Zalfa. Precisely the attitude of Faisal who was silent and down made Mr. Ibrahim understand that Faisal was holding back various kinds of flavors that raged in his heart.
Faisal could not speak anymore. Has Zalfa's heart been filled with other men? Has Faisal's name been erased and replaced? No. gabe. Faisal wanted Zalfa to maintain their relationship. To this day, Faisal still expects their love to unite. If indeed Zalfa had found a replacement for him, why did he see the loving gaze from Zalfa's eyes while at the airport?
Ibrahim walked over to Faisal. “Not wrong Zalfa if he's looking for a life partner. For during your departure, everyone must have thought that you were gone, even though their hope was different. And during your departure, Zalfa was the one who suffered the most from having to fight with his own feelings to give up that reality. Many things are difficult to explain until Zalfa took the road to marry another man in the time not long since you were declared missing.”
Pak Ibrahim's explanation was perfect to make Faisal freeze on the spot. Did ya? Was it true that Zalfa had found another man to shift his position? Oh my God, it hurts so much to hear that. Faisal wanted to come face to face and have a one-on-one conversation with Zalfa. Faisal wanted to hear directly the explanation from Zalfa.
“Faisal,” call Bu Fatima with a sharp eye highlight. “Where are you going?”
“Meeting Zalfa.”
“Although after the explanation you heard?”
“Ya.”
“Today Zalfa is getting married, no longer need you meet him.”
“If the marriage contract has not been spoken, I still have time to marry him.”
“Do not step foot to meet the woman. lest you know, just a few weeks you go out of town leaving Zalfa, the woman has slept with another man. What kind of woman is she?”
“Bu, don't go on!” ban Mr. Ibrahim.
“Let Faisal know the truth, let him know what kind of woman he considers that angel.”
Mr. Ibrahim did not respond to his wife's remarks, he looked at Faisal and said, “It is true that Zalfa is already on the brink of marriage with another man. But we don't know the reason behind her marriage, I'm sure there's something we don't know why Zalfa could do this. In that case, Bpak agreed with your mother so that you would no longer bother Zalfa. But I don't mean that the reason you forbid you is the same as your mother's thought. You say this because you don't think it's right if you come to Zalfa to mess up their beautiful wedding plans.”
Faisal silent. Just looking at Mom and Dad, alternately.
