"Ayra Drum Bodol?"
"Yeni?"
One name comes from Ayra's tiny lips. He remembered one name when both of his netra photographed a woman in blue with a white veil that was wide enough.
Yeni Saputri, one of her best friends when Madrasah Tsanawiyah and they separated when Yeni just sat in 1st class Aliyah. He was picked up by his mother who was in Jambi. The departure of Yeni's father who made his best friend from Ibtidaiyah had to drop out of school.
From the moment the first class Aliyah they separated. There is no communication because they do not have a cell phone. And not yet know the sophistication of technology such as email or other social media.
Ayra got off the table. He whispered something to Aisha. Aisah nodded quickly. Aisah forwarded the mandate of CEO MIKEL Group's wife to Bram's bodyguards who are loyal to protect Ayra.
One of the guards approached Yeni. While Ayra chose to go to the room that Bram used to occupy when her husband visited the subsidiary of the MIKEL Group company. A room with shades of yellow gold and a lot of wood carvings, which has the peculiarities of floral motifs and waves Musi River.
The carving has a characteristic color that accentuates gold as a symbol of grandeur and luxury. Ayra sat on the red sofa.
Before long appeared a woman who was fat and a little short. It was Yeni. Yeni stood in front of the entrance of Ayra's room. He observed a woman whom he had once believed to be Ayra Drum Bodol. His best friend when mondok in Kali Bening.
Ayra's smile adorned her face. Ayra's eyes narrowed. His cheeks he developed and the tip of his nose he raised. A distinctive face that he often shows when he sulked at his best friend.
There really is a look of disbelief from Yeni. He was absolutely convinced that the woman who had just claimed to be the wife of the CEO where she worked was Ayra Drum Bodol. The affectionate call that Yeni made to Ayra.
Because at that time Ayra who was still a teenager and just exposed to Menid made hormones in her body so fertile. Until his body is fat. His weight once reached 70 kg with a height of only 140. Not to mention his appetite is so great during the period of Junior High to High School.
Until when Ayra will start memorizing the Qur'an, He asked Umi Laila to undergo fasting Sunnah fast which is most preferred by Allah ta’a fasting Dawud. Dawud fasting is the same as fasting in general, which is from the sunrise to the sunset.
The timing of the Dawud fast can be at any time, except on the forbidden days of fasting. That is the day forbidden to fast, is on the feast of Eid al-Fitr or 1 Shawwal. Eid al-Adha, tasyriq or 11, 12, and 13 Dzulhijjah.
So that Fat Ayra's body became what it is today. He became slim. No more round faces and fat bodies. Though his intention is not to fast for diet.
Yeni ran over wanting to hug Ayra but the two men in silver suits quickly stood in front of Ayra. Ayra finally moved forward towards her best friend.
"Yen.... Why did you get here?"
"Ayras. Are you really Ayra Drum Bodol?"
Ayra pulled the tip of her lips and nodded.
A hug and a cry from the two women made the two men who had taken Yeni to the room Ayra just gawked. Aisha also gave the code for the two bodyguards to come out. Aisha who seemed to understand that her boss was meeting her old friend came out of the room.
Ayra broke her embrace.
"Why don't you ever reply to my letter Yen?
"My house burned down Ay. afterwards I moved to this town with my mother. Ay, is this really you?"
The two soft but quite chubby hands were holding both of Ayra's cheeks. He stroked Ayra's cheeks gently. Bramantyo's wife also looked at friends with longing. A happy cry because meeting old friends also makes him forget that they are still standing.
"Let's sit down first."
"I'm the one who should be asking why you can take all my fat first? Do you know how delicious chocolate bars are? hehe.... "
"Why do you still recognize me by how I look now?"
Because Ayra was very curious. When compared to his body during Junior High School and the beginning of High School, people will not recognize him now. If in the past he was often ridiculed by friends because of his body with the call of Ayra Drum Bodol, then when he has become lean people just call him Ayra for school and college friends, then when he has become lean people just call him Ayra, or Ning Ay ay for her cottage one friend.
"Because your intonation when you say Ayra Khairunnisa's name is not the same. Even if you turn into a skull, I will recognize your confident voice and intonation when you say your name. Then I'm sure that that speech was you Drum Bodol. Haha...."
He did not realize many times he slapped Ayra's cheek slowly which now he should respect and displeased because he was the temporary leader and wife of the owner where he worked.
Instantly the woman named Yeni put on a shocked face because she only realized that the cheeks she used to pinch often and pull it were the cheeks of her big boss.
"Hehehe... Sorry Ay. I'm kebablasan. Hehe.... I still feel you're Ayra Drum...."
Yeni covered her mouth with both hands. He almost slipped his big boss' wife by a name that impressed ridicule.
"Drum Bodol's? Hihah.... I miss your voice that will call me Yen. I miss you who would buy me chocolate bars secretly without umi knowing. I also miss pulling your collar like I used to. Now I'm not strong enough to lift you up with the end of your collar like Hehehe.... "
Ayra's laughter was so loose and sounded happy. Aisha who just entered was quite shocked. It was as if he saw another personal from the CEO's wife. This time the jolly side of the boss is so thick because it is heard from the sound of his laughter, although not so loud but enough to state that the owner of the voice is happy.
Aisha shared an OB who brought several boxes of food and drinks that had been prepared by the company. The OB put a drink and a rice box on the table. As if the owner of the room was giving up longing, he did not pay attention to the activities of the OB and the presence of Aisha.
"Yen.... I'm not fat anymore."
"But the way you sulk it still hasn't changed."
"You yourself why it could turn out like this. You used to like to tell me. Ayra Khairunnisa, you will not marry because of your appearance. No man likes a fat girl."
Yeni gently stroked her head.
"I'm wrong Ay, it turns out there are men who like women with bodies like me. The proof is that I now have three children from a man who received me with my body. Hihah.... I remember how you would pull my collar when I woke up in the middle of the night. And I don't wake up hahaha.... "
"Hehehe.... I'm sorry Ya Yen. I am ashamed to remember those times. How can I be so strong pulling your body up to the mosque. But you don't do what I did to you."
"You see me now, that's how I saw you first. Hihah.... I wouldn't dare Ay. Can get me fired from here, is Mbah Bank what I want to eat if I get fired. Hehe."
The two friends let go of longing by telling stories of good times when Junior High and entering High School. Ayra when Junior High was fat. He who during the first grade of the new Junior High menstruation made his appetite quite large. His body hormones also make him fat.
Yeni who used to be tiny like Ayra. Now they're upside down. Ayra has a slim body. It does not feel they tell stories until Ayra reminds if you still have to go to one other company. Until Yeni asks Ayra to stay at her house. Ayra also promised if she would ask permission first to her in-laws.
When he returned to the hotel to ask permission from his mother-in-law, the flash of his memories with Yeni again reflected in Ayra's memory. And the story made tears wet Ayra's cheeks.
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
Aisha who saw Ayra cried in confusion. Because just a moment ago the woman laughed and was happy. Now she was crying for no reason. The thing that made Aisha monologue in her heart.
"What a pretty weird personality. Instantly polite, instantly spoiled, instantly firm, instantly jolly, instantly moody. Ah Your character is confusing Bu Ay."
