Night comes, bringing a silence that blends with the silence of the heart. Night bug rumbles began to be heard accompanying him who was sitting on the porch of the house while enjoying a glass of coffee alone.
Ilyas was still thinking, will he be able to come at the wedding of his best friend? If calculated, the time of year is not long. While sincerity has not been present in his soul. He still regretted that the woman he wanted to live with in one ark would apparently belong to someone else.
The bespectacled man sipped his still steaming coffee carefully. As his mind begins to wander into the past. The time when a black-hooded girl with a white long-sleeved shirt and a long skirt that was the same black as the hijab was standing among the row of people who got punished for being fifteen late minute.
Flashback...
Ilyas who became the head of the kating while still in the student orientation at that time seemed to be standing looking at those who had to accept the punishment, namely asking for the signatures of the senior level as a condition in order to join the new students line-up.
Some people have managed to get Ilyas's signature, only one last person left behind and the only woman to get the punishment.
The man was stunned when the girl with a simple appearance who had a clear face even without makeup was thrusting paper and a pen towards him.
"Assynoltom.... Afwan, I'm late today, brother. And I was asked to get the signature of chairman Kating."
"Hmmm!" The man cleared his throat before saying Istighfar. Ayudia Qonniah's sweet face momentarily bewitched her. "How many minutes?"
"Fifteen minutes," he answered while keeping his eyes on him.
The man raised his arm a little just to look at the clock. "You lied. It's over forty-seven minutes late."
"But I'm late because I'm in another kating law too, brother. I was only fifteen minutes."
"Yes, it can't be that. Just let you get in front of me for almost an hour."
Qonni sighed. "Well, how do you want me?"
"But, nantangin!"
"Who is rude? I asked because it was forty-seven minutes late."
"Well, he said it was only fifteen minutes, right? Now I'm forty-seven minutes late."
"That's because you said that!"
"So which one is it? Fifteen minutes or forty-seven minutes?"
"Whatever that big brother is! what matters is that I have to follow the line. Sign now!" Qonni whose patience was only as thick as a tissue on the two sides began to cobble.
"Kok even so loud? Want to ask for an autograph, huh?"
The girl quietly sighed again after that nodding. It is better to be patient than to make this trivial matter become more runyam. Because everywhere senior if again ngospek so the song, tengil!
"You wrote your data there first." Ilyas pointed at the paper that was still in Qonni's hands. The girl also said, immediately wrote the full name, the faculty he took, and majors.
"Udah, Brother." Qonni handed over the sheet of paper. Ilyas read it right away.
"Where's the address, same phone number?"
"Should ya?" Ask the unsuspecting Qonni at all.
"It has to!" the stern answer immediately made Qonni hand again grab the paper in Ilyas' hands and write the address and phone number. Then handed it over again which Ilyas had read.
"Boyfriend's name?"
"What?" Qonni frowned.
"Boyfriend's name. You have a girlfriend once." Write them down."
Really weird? Just this time to fill in the data using the name of a girlfriend?
"I'm not dating. Parents also forbid me to date," she explained short. Until it raises a thin arch on the lips of the bespectacled man without knowing Qonni.
Girl inshaAllah awake. Somehow Ilyas' heart suddenly rippled. Could it be that he has love syndrome at first sight? No, no love comes with just one face to face except lust. Ilyas immediately broke himself.
"Parents don't want you to date? Do you mean to marry directly?"
What the hell is it? –Qonni who feel uncomfortable starting to be uncomfortable with the question from the Chairman of Kating.
"That's great anyway. The relationship will produce nothing but sin. Good, keep it."
"So what's his signature?" Qonni cutting. He really did not want to linger in front of him. Because even though many people, but they only talk alone.
"Just get in that line."
"Well?"
"Yes, just go in there. You no longer need to sign. This is the paper already in the same content of your data." The man squeezed it and put the paper into the trash can which made Qonni's eyes slightly widen.
Dumped? –innya beaver. How much trouble did he write on a piece of paper without a platter, now he sees the paper being thrown away? So why did he ask Qonni to write it all! The girl moved both her neutrals up. "False, Brother. Excuse me. Assalamualaikum!"
With a bad feeling the girl flipped over and walked while stomping her legs in annoyance. While Ilyas was smiling, he took the paper back into the trash before putting it in his alma mater pocket.
Flashback off ...
From a long conversation for the first time even though it never repeated again. The man was increasingly curious about the girl who even participated in an Islamic organization on their campus.
In doing activities, Qonni never even a little accentuate himself in front of Ilyas. He never asked questions during meetings like the other members. On the contrary, the girl continued to avoid. I don't know if he was about to cross paths then he suddenly turned, who bowed. Or even just turn the direction. The point is Qonni's like completely avoiding Ilyas.
The man finished his coffee until the remaining pulp at the bottom of the glass. While calming the soul that lately suddenly not excited in living his days.
"Ohuk..uhuk...! Uhuuuk!!" There was a faint sound of coughing that never stopped from within. He also moved to see the condition of his mother who was lying in the place of the dispute.
