Not Ustadz I (Unrevised)
3¹ Memories Berlinang Tears II

..."You say it later, tomorrow, five minutes to ten minutes. Can you set the time even one second before?"...

Weather forecasts state if the day is sunny, but dark clouds state the opposite. Amanda was brushing the bathroom floor as a routine two days after returning home from school and cursed herself who stupidly put her clothes into the washing machine.

"Well, how could I get a shirt in the washing machine anyway?" Amanda was upset.

Being too angry, he accidentally rubbed the WC part too tightly until his hand scratched the edge of his sitting door.

"Ouch.."

Amanda reflexively pressed the wound and washed it with running water, then left her job. Aunt who saw him hurt was trying to treat him, it should be his job that was done by Amanda. Amanda grimaced in pain for a moment when she was given alcohol, and she complied with her aunt, who insisted she rest.

Amanda was pensive in front of her backyard door, she looked at the dark ceiling that enveloped the twilight. He should have seen his favorite orange sky today, but instead blocked the dark sky which seemed to cause a lot of lightning at night.

"May all be well.." Amanda muttered expectantly, as she felt that there was something strange about her today.

(Ting~)

The sound of orders from outside also made him surprised even though he and his aunt did not order anything, his uncle Jeon also never sent anything after service in America other than messages via KakaoTalk. Amanda told her aunt to keep quiet, as she opened the door, a package box from Jeon and Alan came along.

"Is this a coincidence?"

There is a text from whom this package was sent. After a long time getting nothing but his birthday, finally..

'Wait first..'

"I? A birthday? The time! Can't believe!" Amanda said excited to get a happy birthday message from inside her card.

He happily opened one by one the multi-layered parcels, as usual for Mr Jeon who would give gifts with the layered parcels for safety.

"Well, this is a clam necklace, funny thing.."

After a long time Amanda who always get the prize money finally get an item that can be used with a letter beside her. The curious Amanda read it in a slow voice.

"..from Jeon to Amanda's daughter, this is a gift from me even though your brother Liam interfered. But I just wrote my name, asked your brother for money huh! Be a stronger person..."

'Uncle is really cool! I'm moved... Wait a minute, this little piece of writing..'

".. ermm, Don't forget to make a lot of money..??"

The originally moved Amanda finally removed Jeon's gift from her front and switched to Alan's gift. Unlike his brother, he looks more simple and neat. Maybe because of the distance that is still one country, but Amanda doesn't care. He opened two layers of wrapping paper and a pack of cardboard, finally he saw a gift that is a watch.

"Wahhhhh. know if I need a watch again after breaking ten watches lately." Amanda smiled happily as she tried her watch.

The impatient Amanda gave a message to Alan and his uncle to thank him.

("Alan, thank you very much for the gift! I'll take good care of him. But if the watch looks like I'm going to destroy it quickly hehe~ let's quickly go home to my house and say happy birthday to me.")

Amanda smiled happily as she got a short reply from Alan.

"If it breaks I buy again, he said? Hehe, I'd like to, uh but I'm also hehe anyway.I have to take good care of this."

Amanda began to tidy up the scattered trash, and swept the floor. The aunt who saw him cleaning the floor tried to stop him because of the injured hand, Amanda stubbornly refused because she would clean up the mess he made. The aunt who saw him finally gave up but kept a close eye on Amanda's every move, she was afraid something would happen to her little miss.

On the other side where Alan was, he was enjoying the sport before five in the afternoon.

"There's still three hours left before picking up the cake and wishing my best friend a happy birthday... We should be able to hang out with the kids but they're busy in other parts of the world huh.." Alan said with a long breath.

He did push ups, sit ups several times and ran around the park near his housing. Many eyes were looking at the beauty of that moment, the height of Alan who almost reached 185 no wonder to make people fixated. The tireless young soul was painted on that handsome face full of charisma, the number of times he rejected the woman who asked for his contact. Until a pair of lovers are not calm because their girlfriend is unemployed others more than their own boyfriend.

"Angel from which tuch.."

"She was repulsive but polite.."

"Why is there a good person like him?.."

Some of the whispers that were clearly heard were familiar to Alan, but he always felt better if Amanda accompanied him because he was always protected even no one approached if there was Amanda.

'If you think about it he was even an international karate champion, he was a real fighter because he first fought with street kid huhu~' Inner Alan smiled a little.

"Pftt.I can't wait to meet him even though a rainstorm hits my body, I hope that today he doesn't get hit by a storm."

While he was enjoying the fresh air, his eyes were fixed on the old grandmother who was selling trinkets. He was intrigued, quickly came to him and bought a bracelet that read AA.

"Thank you grandma, I'll give it to my friend~" Sincere Alan who responded with a smile from the grandmother.

"Please don't expect too much, just pray for your friend to be happy." Grandma said with her smile.

"What does she mean?" Alan asked a little confused.

"It means don't put too much weight on your expectations because you don't even know when you will die, so just do the potluck and choose which one you can enjoy without making any promises that end up being neglected.."

Usually if there are strange people who say so especially to young children, of course they will avoid or leave it because they do not believe. But Alan who got such a talk returned it with a smile.

"Yes, I know. But I made a promise already, so if I can't keep it maybe this unsettled soul will wait for him to be sincere and let go. But I'll try to make it. Grandma.." Said Alan who was answered by a small nod from the grandmother.

"All right, that's your choice. Do not forget that humans if destroyed can be very destroyed to dust and vice versa, if they succeed can be very successful to the point of losing their minds. Make a will before your big promise, son, don't forget to be grateful." The grandmother said with a small nod from Alan.

Alan spent his time then permission to leave before the sun completely sunk. At Amanda's house waiting with her cell phone in front of her, she looks neat in a comfortable room. While he was playing a game, suddenly his phone rang a sign of incoming messages.

"Waw, why did Alan send a message."

'For my friend Enna aka sister Nikle, don't be mad if I'm late. Later if at any time I have a problem please be understood yes, I have given a gift. Don't wait too much for me. Okay.'

"What the hell, really gini tumben. Usually skull... What good to answer?" Amanda muttered after reading a strange message from her best friend.

("Okay, you didn't promise. But if it can come.")

Unbeknownst to Amanda, the answer made Alan calm and smile.
