One Love, One Heart
30. Yardstroke

That day after Ilham house we hung out together in the cafe owned by his wife Danu, from there I know a lot about Nanda now.

"Reverse yuk" I said to Nanda who was wearing his shoes, after performing Ashar prayers at a roadside mosque.

"Tar used to be hungry we find food first" he said, "Tu there is a Padang restaurant there just don't have to go far "my word.

"Ok, you are the only girl who invites me to eat at the Padang restaurant" said Nanda.

"Where do you usually eat?"ask me.

"If not to the restaurant, to the mall yes a classy place to eat" he said.

" Out of the money to eat there, it feels the same way better the money love me you can use for others" said I who greeted Nanda laughter.

"In fact, the girls are asking for food at the Mall all shopping" said Nanda.

"Wah dong I want too, how does it feel to be a matre girl" I said. "Come can want to eat all at the mall is also nothing" said Nanda.

"Don't want to mending a meal and continue to go home "my word while entering the Padang restaurant.

"What the fuck?" I asked when there was a notification M Banking entered my account, which amounted to a month of my salary as a High School teacher.

"Make you shop "he said.

"Aseek okay I will spend the money, which often let you get bored and know that I am the same matrenya with your former fiance," I said with a chuckle.

"Why do I keep seeing me?"I asked, "Who told you about my ex-fiancee and insisted you're not the type of woman who likes shopping so you won't be able to spend my money" Nanda said.

"Now answer the question Mas Who told you about my ex-fiancee?"ask Nanda.

"I've seen a glimpse of him at Mas's house, said Vina he was seducing Aunt Anin to allow him and the mas better" I said.

"means you haven't met yet?" ask Nanda.

" Yes not yet Mas I'm going to say a glimpse, so I'm the one who saw and he didn't see me "My speech.

We ate quietly without any chatter only occasionally the sound of our phones was heard.

"Allhamdullilah let's go home until when to sit here" I said.

"Until anytime you have no problem while in your company," said mas Nanda.

"Your death race is not good for me, I am not good with the rich rumble that "say me sprained while walking out in follow Nanda.

"Keep if it does not work with the rumble, mean dong dong as big as a dollar" he said as he chuckled and pulled my hand to his grasp when we were about to cross, because his car was still in the parking lot of the mosque.

"Let's look romantic at "he said. " What is romantic only in front of people doang, romantic is what is without being made up, because what is made up is not natural and unnatural it will quickly fade "I didn't answer Nanda just laughed and ruffled my hair.

"How does it feel that your hand I hold still feels uncomfortable, "he said as he opened the car for me.

Yes I feel nothing no shadow appears I said in my heart. "That's a good start we'll start slowly to remove the shadow, I'm sorry" Nanda said, ruffling my hair before closing the car door and walking to the steering wheel.

The sound of my heart beating fast but not accompanied by cold sweat and shadow.

"After you leave the hospital, you are determined to erase your bad memories from a dozen years ago, you also want to make you believe that love is love and gives happiness. But I asked mas so that Mas make sure first the feelings of mas to you, do not let the mas take the wrong step and end up hurting you again" said Nanda, while driving with an occasional glance at me.

"Therefore for a month Mas tried hard not to contact you or meet you directly. Mas want to make sure if the only natural feelings of guilt then the solution mas will ask for help Mother, but if not only feelings of guilt but also feelings more towards you ,which has started to grow then the mas itself will try to replace the bad memory. Mas know will not be able to erase the bad memory that has been recorded in your memory, because it's gold that will replace that bad memory with a beautiful memory that we will go through together" he said.

"Mas sure I still want to be close to you after what happened to me?"my many. "Mas is not sure but we will try 'Results Will Not Betrayed Efforts" he said.

(The Results Will Not Betray the Effort).

During the trip I just heard everything without answering or responding, until we were not at my house.

The times what Nanda said was true, almost every day I saw him and interacted with him whether it was the morning he went home or the evening home from work. Even he not only established closeness with me but also with my father and mother and neighbors and it succeeded in making me the gossip of mothers.

"Aya does not want to lose with Widya, if Widya gets a doctor Aya can be a police officer" said Bu Fia. I was sitting on the balcony of my room which was above, making the mothers who were gossiping not know where I was. What happens if they know that Nanda a police doctor can be even more excited, he said if we are fooled if they can not be more vigorous they gossip said I in my heart.

"But it seems not just any police proof the car is good that, Widya aja who is the prospective car doctor Pajero" said Bu Arimbi.

"Is Widya threatened with failure?" said Ms. Fia."Yes, I heard because the former wife of the candidate, who is still chasing her ex-husband" said Bu Eko.

"But I don't seem to have accidentally heard the moment again through the nights, they have not been divorced in a state so new talak aja "said Bu Arimbi.

"The person whose brain is empty speaks the most, is always busy looking for the disgrace of others" I said a little loudly while pretending to call back to those under , '''' 'em ,so I'm impressed I don't know where they are.

In a matter of seconds the mothers who were gathering under the menugu vegetable merchant roving immediately moved the place, "Basic-basis mak-mak julid why so busy looking for the depravity of others, so, but not at the introspection of each one".

"Who, brother, who are you talking to ?" asked the mother who was standing at the door of my room.

"Mothers who were naive vegetable traders were brought by Mom, again talking to me and Widya "say me.

"Mom sometimes likes to listen to gossip, I'm amazed how people can know things we don't know about ourselves" she said with a smile.

"Make their words as a benchmark for ourselves to change ourselves for the better" said the mother who saw me just silent.

"So mom's not mad they're talking mommy?"my many. "What makes angry is useless, if we are carried away by their emotions so have additional chatter about us dong" said mother before stepping out of my room.
