There are many things Om Zidan has told me. Starting from how to wear good clothes in front of a man who is not my mahrom. How to behave in front of them. Of course I heard very well what he said. And also carry it out.
"I'm monitoring you!" said Om Zidan before the door closed. I can only smile at his words. That was how he was, with his jealousy and also his possessive attitude.
At exactly 14:18 Vino, Gilang and Tiara arrived. Vino came with his own bike. While Tiara was hounded by Gilang. And not to forget too, they brought the necessary items to make the craft.
"Assalamu'alaikum.." politely the three said hello to me. I who stood greeted their arrival with a smile of hospitality.
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Come on, just get in!" I pulled Tiara's hand. Ask him to come in first. While Gilang and Vino followed while carrying one big blue crackle.
"Sit down and drink first, Ra."
Four glasses of cold water I have prepared on the living room table. There were three jars of snacks there as well. According to the order of the Class Chair.
"It's for all Tiara, huh?" vino said giving a sharp satire.
"Hehehe. Please drink Vino .... Spelter." I averted my eyes when I mentioned Gilang's name. Choose to look into the corner of the room.
"Drink, Lang. Consider it your own home!" Vino patted Gilang's shoulder slowly. She just smiled a little. I don't know what his smile means.
After drinking. Vino also took out all the tools and materials from the blue crackle earlier. He began to explain and divide the task in making the craft of this group. The plan, we will make a ship made of ice cream sticks.
Tiara and I got the job of cutting, gluing, and painting sticks. While Vino and Gilang who will make the skeleton and also compose it.
"Create the Titanic, Vin!!" tiara. The girl looked at Vino seriously and expectantly.
"Titanic's? That's easy, mah!" Reply Vino with his arrogant style.
"Seriously, yes! I want to be the captain!" Tiara exclaimed in excitement. Greeted with thumbs up from Vino and Gilang.
"Eh, but you two are the Jack and the Rose!" Vino looked at me and Gilang took turns. Then he smiled awkwardly while stroking his nape. Because we didn't get any response from the two of us.
After that, the atmosphere became a little stiff. Even Gilang never let out a sound or even raised his head. He only focused with a pile of sticks in front of him.
I don't know and don't want to know what happened to him. None of my business.

"Eh rest first," I said as I placed the tray filled with cold water again on the table. "Furthermore, after the ashar prayer!"
"Have a rest, Lang!" Vino again patted Gilang's back. Make the man stop his activities.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom. Can't you?" silang. Staring at me.
"By, straight. Under that ladder!" I pointed towards the stairs towards my room and Om Zidan.
"Oh, yeah. Thanks." Thanks." He got up and walked in the direction I pointed.
"Emmm, Manda?" Call Vino as soon as Gilang's shadow disappears from our sight.
"Yes?"
"May I have a lot of things?"
"He'em. What do you want to ask, Vin?" I shifted a little backwards. Keep your distance from Vino.
"Whose daily nganter and invite you to school who?"
"Om Zidan," I replied without hesitation.
"Oooo, so he's your Om, Manda? Aaaa... Can you not be her boyfriend?" Sahut Tiara's. The girl pinched her own gnarled cheek.
"Damf. Girls can't see the good-looking ones, can they?!" Vino Cycads.
"yeah. Goodlooking is necessary too, Vin. To repair the descent!" Tiara did not want to lose the debate apparently.
"Khemmh. But baby, Ra. Zidan has one!"
"Huhahahahaha....." Vino's laughter instantly broke after hearing my words. "Patience, patience, patience, yes!"
The man stroked Tiara's back. As if he was mocking him.
"I still exist" said Vino slowly.
"What the hell, Vin. Nakjis!" The girl thins Vino's hand. Then he shook his hand in disgust.
"Dwelling. Kidding too!"
Haha. I just nodded slowly at the behavior of the two.
"Eh, I'll stay a while. Want to prepare a place of prayer for you!" I said as I looked at Vino and Tiara.
"I'm coming, yeah, Manda!" Tiara Whine. "I don't dare to be alone with Vino here! I'll be fucked with him!"
"Dwelling. Not*****times!" lead Vino is upset.
"Hahaha, yes. Come and help me get ready! Wait a minute, Vin."
Me and Tiara came out of the living room. Simultaneously, Gilang came out of the bathroom as well.
"Vino's still there?" Ask.
"Yes, it's still, Lang," Tiara replied.
"Bell it!"
The man just walked past us.
"I think he likes you" whispered Tiara.
"It's impossible, Ra." I shook my head hard. Refusing the revelation from Tiara.
"Oath, Manda. The way he squirmed you that-"
"Susssti... Don't talk about it, Ra."
I looked at Tiara with a plea. Not without reason I don't want to talk about it. I just don't want to provoke a jealous fire in Om Zidan.
It was enough that he refrained from appearing in front of my friends. But don't let him get hurt from hearing what we're talking about. Because he's now monitoring us from his study.
"OKAY. I won't talk about it anymore." Tiara smiled and then followed my steps back to the guest room.
Me and Tiara blared the carpet there. And then there was another prayer on it. Two fancy suits and two sarongs I took out of the closet.
Once everything is ready. Tiara and I called Vino and Gilang. We also do the Ashar prayer. With Vino being his faith.
And earlier, I asked Om Zidan for permission. He allows, even with a slightly bent face upset.
"It's going to be finished now, or what?" vino asked as he watched the half-finished ship.
"Now, Vin. I want to enjoy my day off tomorrow!" Answer Tiara.
"Deliver?" Vino looked towards Gilang.
"I'm just following you."
"Hehehe... The mandanda? Don't we eat it now?" ask Vino to me as the Host.
"Yes, not papa. Just relax!"
We continue to do our job. And paused for a while when the adzan magrib arrived. That was when Om Zidan suddenly came out of hiding.
"Manda!" Call Om Zidan. It made me and the others look straight at him. Without further ado, I went straight to Om Zidan.
"Why, Honey?" Whisper slowly.
"Rest first, get them to eat!" Om Zidan lowered his hand that was about to touch my cheek. "I've prepared food for you!"
"For Om?" I looked at him for a moment. "Udah's been booked, too, right?"
"Udah, just calm down. I don't want to starve to death and let you be a young widow. Na'udzubillah!" candelessly.
He smiled and walked past me into the kitchen.
'Thank you for being patient, dear.'
"Why, Manda? You're not angry, are you?" tiara asked as soon as I returned to sit beside her.
"No. Just ngingetin to eat. Yeah, take a break. Om Zidan has prepared food for us!"
"I'm not good!" vino said slowly.
"Look out, Vin. Consider it your own home!" I said and was only repelled by Vino. In contrast to Gilang who even more quiet. No comment's.
A few minutes' delay. The door was knocked. It seems Om Zidan's message has come. As I walked closer to the door. Suddenly Om Zidan held my hand.
"Let me," he said slowly.
I took a step back and turned towards the kitchen. Prepare drinking water and dishes.
"Is it okay to eat with you?" Om Zidan asked as he placed the two white crackles he had brought on the table.
I smiled while looking at him. "Of course, honey," I said slowly. In my heart I started to worry myself.
Om Zidan helped me bring the dishes to the living room. Which makes Vino, Gilang and Tiara face each other. As if asking each other.
"It's not a problem if we eat together?" say Om Zidan is friendly.
"Eh, yes, Om. It's okay." Vino put away some stuff beside him. Give some empty space to Om Zidan.
"Please. Enjoy the dinner."
"Thank you, Manda."
We ate in a circular position. To my right is Tiara and to my left is Om Zidan. While right in front of me there is Vino and Gilang.
The atmosphere was initially quiet. Until suddenly
"Ohuk....." I choked after my eyes and Gilang's eyes had looked at each other.
"Drink-" Spontaneous Om Zidan and also Gilang directly thrust drinking water for me. The difference, Om Zidan while stroking my back.
"Drink first!" The glass Om Zidan was holding was already stuck in front of my lips. Inevitably, I had to drink from that glass.
I closed my eyes. Unable to see how Vino, Tiara and Gilang reacted.
"Other times slow down!" Resolute Om Zidan. I just nodded slowly.
The incident made the atmosphere more quiet. Until dinner was over, no one made a sound. Maybe everyone is busy with their thoughts.
At exactly 20:45 our task is done. Slowly and proudly, Vino placed the ship that did not look like Titanic on the table.
"You're the one who brought it to school, yeah, Manda!"said it.
"God, Vin!" I replied smiling awkwardly.
"Oh yeah, if so, we'll go home first!" Vino and Tiara got up from their seats. But Gilang, he looked at me with question marks.
"What does that mean, Manda?" Sluggishly.
"Emmm, what do you mean?" I asked back. Without daring to return his gaze.
"Lang-"
"Shortly, Vin. I want to hear Manda's explanation!" Resolute Gilang.
"Khemmh. Let me explain it!" Om Zidan's voice sounded from behind me. I tightly squeezed the end of the shirt I was wearing. Fear yourself to listen to what Om Zidan will say. Tau himself, right. How was he when what was already his was being bullied people!
"Me and Manda-" He touched my shoulder. Squeezed it a little. Then with one breath he said.
"We were married a year ago!"
Deg. My heart was beating fast that instant. My eyes feel hot. And I'm sure the reaction of the three is not much different from mine. Shocked and would not have thought about the facts they had just heard.
"Is that right, Cha?" Lirih Gilang asked.
I can't say anymore. And just stuttering your head in response: yes, it is true!
"Congratulations on your marriage." Gilang got up from his seat.
"Congratulations, you're so lucky to get a soul mate like Manda! Please take care of him. I'm saying home. Assalamu'alaikum!" he said then he just disappeared.
"Om Zidan, Manda, we're saying goodbye, too" said Vino and Tiara.
"Wait a minute, keep this a secret. I believe in you guys!" said Om Zidan.
"Goddessa. We're not gonna tell anyone about this."
"Thank you."
"Either. Then we say goodbye, Om Zidan, Manda. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Be careful!" I flipped my body to face Om Zidan. He looked at her with a slightly disappointed look.
"Sorry, Manda!" He pulled my body in his arms. "Sorry, I ruined everything!"
I was only able to remain silent in Om Zidan's arms. I want to scream angry I can't. Maybe this is the way. Whatever the risk is going forward. I'll try to accept with a chest.
