Started In Paris
Plan


From Place de La Concorde we walked down the street looking for the nearest restaurant. Since Abiel knows that if I am a Muslim, she wants to eat at a restaurant that provides halal food around here.


It did not take long to find the restaurant, we soon found a restaurant that serves halal food. L'Ardoise, is a restaurant providing halal food on the Rue du Mont Thabor road. The place is not too big, but the food is enough to prop up the stomach.


Reynard doesn't mind eating there. The three of us sat at the table by the window.


As usual, Abiel ordered my food. The food is simple, only fried rice and orange juice. However, thank God I can find halal food that I can eat in this country.


When our food arrived, we ate immediately. Given our time there was not much, so after eating we immediately left the restaurant. Arriving at the Place de La Concorde, I was amazed by the beauty of this place.


True Abiel said, this is the uniqueness that I see firsthand. The lights were everywhere, the trinkets sparkling like pearls. Subhanallah. Visitors were not too crowded as usual, so I was a little free to take the clip.


For hours, I walked here and there. Well, it must be totality if it starts something. Until I finally got tired and chose to sit on a bench near there.


I poked my leg out, then hugged her again, afraid that someone might stumble. Today I do not wear boots, jaya ordinary shoes that I often wear while still in Indonesia.


From a distance I saw Abiel was still busy with her photography, the girl seemed not to have the slightest fatigue, she was so enthusiastic in every activity. Sometimes I worry about his health, hopefully nothing happens. He helped me a lot in this country.


"Hey!"


Beware someone. It turned out that Reynard was sitting next to me, some distance away, and we were separated by a small brown bag of mine.


"Ah yes" I replied awkwardly.


There was no conversation after that, only silence. The voices of other visitors are more filling, very crowded.


"How's Zulfa?" Ask.


"Everything went well" I replied.


He's nodding.


"Today is exhausting, isn't it?" Ask again.


"Little"


"I hope you feel at home here"


I was a little surprised by his words, but I tried to brush off all my thoughts that were floating everywhere. I smile.


"Hi!"


Abiel approached us, carrying his camera he sat between me and Reynard. He leaned his body on the back of the bench, I saw he took a deep breath. This girl seems to be very tired.


I was thinking about missing a day for the clip, but I also needed their approval. Since the conformation time is still long, it may be good also if you are absent for a day. Just to rest the body.


"How about we rest tomorrow"


The words successfully blew me away. I haven't said it yet, but a voice has succeeded in breaking the silence. Abiel and I looked straight at Reynard. I wonder, is he a fortune teller?


It's a good idea, because maybe now Abiel is very tired. Every day we have to go to different places, from morning until nightfall, sometimes on foot, because we don't want pocket money to run out.


Abiel and I fell silent, we looked at each other. I saw Reynard's eagle eyes waiting for our answer. Actually I also agree on the idea, but what about Abiel?


"Maybe we need a break" Abiel said as she nodded her head. He turned to look at me, his facial expression as if waiting for an answer.


I took a deep breath, then nodded. Maybe it's a good decision.


When we finished, we decided to go straight home. But I want to stop by the mosque first. I haven't been there in a long time. I deliberately forced Abiel to take a taxi, troubled to break I persuaded him far to take a taxi, and to fruition, he finally wanted.


It's just me and Reynard. We both walked down the street. Since Abiel took the taxi, no words have come out of our mouths. The sound of the roar of the vehicle was heard in the ears, but it was unable to fill the silence between us.


I told him I wanted to stop by the mosque. He was filled hard to drive me there, I who could not do anything was forced to agree to his request. Although I'm actually awkward not playing.


"Tomorrow is there time?" Ask.


My brain is trying to figure out what this question means.


"Yes there" I replied. "What's wrong?"


"Can we go out tomorrow?"


Honestly, my whole life I've never walked alone with any man. Indeed, I used to fall in love with Abi, but now I try to forget him, yes because he is not my soul mate and not my right. He's happy with his companion, I don't want to interfere with that feeling anymore.


I was confused as to what words I would say to answer Reynard's question. This man is so patient, and kind. I can't if I refuse, but there's no other way, if I go with him tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll be slanderous.


I'm not in my own country, here my purpose is the reason I'm here. Messages and messages from Abah and Ummi became my benchmark to always hold wherever and whenever I was. If I break it, I fear the angel will curse my every step and not be guided by God.


I kept quiet, not knowing what to answer. On the one hand I do not want to make a gap in his heart, and on the other hand I also do not want the pleasure of God to just disappear. I am a Muslim, I have to take care of myself.


"It's not like it, but Reynard..."


"If you want to invite someone is okay" he said cutting my words.


I'm getting drowned in this labyrinth. She was so kind to me, would I give her a crack in her heart? I nodded in silence. Don't know what I'm saying.


"I'm sorry" I said.


He smiled, "it's okay, do I need to pick you up tomorrow?"


"No need, I'll go with Vani tomorrow, if he's not busy"


"Tomorrow weekend, maybe college students are at home", in silence, "if there is a problem just contact me" he continued.


Aduuhh, Reynard I'm getting caught up in the labyrinth you created.


"I'll tell you where we met and where we're going" she said, smiling at me, returning her smile.


I'm wheeling in my heart that tomorrow Vani has time, given Abiel's current condition it feels impossible if I invite her tomorrow.
