My Lovely Neighbour
Heart Word
Inside his room Rafa kept thinking about the incident just now. He did not understand why this happened to him. Rafa had been tempted by the incident just now, especially for a long time he did not feel the warmth of a woman's caress.
Since his separation from his wife Nazwa, Rafa has not been able to open his heart to other women. This is not because he still loves Nazwa, but he is still traumatized by his failed marriage. He was afraid to approach a woman. Already several times his coworkers wanted to match him with a woman, but Rafa himself refused.
Three months ago, his close friend Taufik wanted to match him with his wife's cousin Taufik. But Rafa rejected it at the time.
Taufik secretly invites Rafa to come to his house. Taufik deliberately did not tell Rafa because he was afraid that Rafa would reject him. Rafa comes to Taufik's house with Kayla.
“Ayo Rafa, please come in,” said Taufik welcomed Rafa's arrival when Rafa just arrived at his home.
“What's his name Darling?” ask Kayla Taufik.
“Come greetings,” said Rafa to his daughter.
Kayla immediately dived Taufik, his wife and also his wife's cousin Taufik named Dinda. Dinda does look quite beautiful with a high body as high as commensurate with Rafa. But at the beginning of the meeting, Rafa had no sympathy for Dinda. Seeing Dinda who is not dear to children, Rafa can feel when they chat with Taufik and his wife. Dinda looks cute towards Kayla. Dinda did not show any affection towards Kayla. She asked Kayla not a single question even as Kayla nudged her glass so that the water inside the glass spilled, looking Dinda with an angry face cleaning up the spill.
“Eat him next time be careful,” said Dinda in a tone like yelling at Kayla.
Seeing that Rafa immediately did not sympathize even when going home Taufik and his wife looked very fond of Kayla because of her cuteness. Taufik stroked Kayla's head several times and so did his wife. They seemed very anxious to see Kayla's cuteness, while Dinda was so ignorant that there were no bases on Kayla.
Because of that, Rafa immediately decided to reject the match. Rafa bluntly tells Taufik that he is not ready to remarry. Taufik who knows Rafa's personality can't be pushy. He appreciated Rafa's decision. Rafa is traumatized by a previous marriage that led her to close herself to another woman.
But when meeting Revi, Rafa's feelings immediately change. He had never felt his name falling in love at first sight like it had happened to Revi the first time. Look at Revi Rafa's heart dag dig dug. His chest was racing and he looked nervous. The feeling is growing more and more fertile so that makes it difficult to forget. The more he tried to forget Revi's shadow, the stronger Revi's shadow clung to his mind.
Since meeting at Revi's engagement event, Rafa feels like a young man again. His dark life slowly rose again. But unfortunately all his wishes are just a dream because a loved one has been owned by someone else. Rafa had ignited himself because he had wrongly loved someone, but Rafa believes before the marriage contract began Rafa still has a chance to have it if it is desired by God.
Rafa always prayed to be given strength and patience in the face of this very tough test. When he falls in love with someone, but his love is unrequited.
Rafa again reflected on bi Surti's attitude which seems to have changed lately. At the beginning of bi Surti working at Rafa's house looks polite, but lately his appearance has been different. Even his attitude has changed. This can be felt by Rafa with the recent incident. Usually bi Surti sleeps until late at night because when Rafa will sleep Still heard the sound of a TV that lights up in the middle room. That means he's still watching TV. If Rafa was alone, after Isya's prayer he went straight into his room with Kayla. They watch TV in the room and Kayla always plays with her dolls. While Rafa if not doing office work, he usually watches TV. At nine o'clock in the evening, Rafa invites Kayla to sleep. Even if Rafa wakes up at eleven or twelve in the evening, usually the TV in the middle room is still on because Rafa is listening to the broadcast from the TV.
‘Don't bi Surti lie to me by pretending to be sick or he deliberately wants to trap me.’
Rafa finally got dizzy himself thinking about it. He tried to close his eyes and forget about the incident just now, but to no avail either. Finally he went to the terrace to calm his mind. He then smokes on the porch while watching the passerby in front of his house. Although the road in front of his house is not too crowded but there are still several vehicles that are auctioned past in front of his house.
Rafa who is curious about Kayla's story makes him want to meet Revi. He then sent a message via messenger.
“Mas would like to see you now because there is something you will ask. Now mas wait under the mango tree beside home.”
With Rafa's heart racing waiting for a reply from Revi. Revi who was about to sleep hurriedly opened his phone. As soon as there was a messenger message from Rafa, Revi's chest skipped a beat. There was a feeling of kangen and hate engulfing his feelings at this moment.
‘Ngapain these nights mas Rafa wants to meet. What will be discussed. What do I have to answer?’ inner Revi.
Revi sat down while thinking for a moment.
‘I meet or not ya.’
There was a feeling of fear in Revi's heart. She's afraid of getting caught by her mom when nights like this meet Rafa.
‘Mommy will be angry if you know I was alone with Rafa.’
But Revi who is already in love with Rafa cannot lie to him. His desire is very strong to meet Rafa even though on the other hand he wants to hate him. It is undeniable that his love is greater than his hatred.
Finally Revi made up his mind to meet Rafa. Rafa who was already waiting under the mango tree could not wait for Revi's reply.
‘Why not answered too, even though it has been read. I just wait a few minutes, if he does not come too, then I enter,’ Inner Rafa.
After the predetermined duration of time runs out, Rafa will enter the house but suddenly heard the sound of sandals rubbing against the ground. Rafa immediately turned his body and saw Revi walking towards him. The two also look at each other so that their two eyeballs face each other. Both of them were silent only their hearts spoke.
