The End of Hope
Eps 61's. Time Will Not Wait
Naya turned her eyes away. I was upset by Aris' reaction which he thought was excessive. He also wondered why this man was looking for an excuse to talk to him. After taking a deep breath, Naya then replied,
"Sir. Ria likes me, she says it's the same to me."
Hearing Naya's words, Ares tensed his neck in wonder, he asked back,
"What if he likes it?"
"Yes, I don't feel good about him, sir," replied Naya.
"What does it have to do with you, what has to do with you, me!" Ares said. Naya again furrowed her eyebrows at hearing Ares' exaggerated comments. Then Naya asked with an even more astonished feeling,
"What does my relationship have to do with my father? Our feelings have nothing to do!"
Naya tried to close the door but then Ares held her back with one leg while saying, Naya,
"Wait for me not to finish talking."
Angrily he said, "what else to say, I have followed what you want, I have taken care of Ria."
Ares was silent for a moment, thinking, then saying, "Oh yes I haven't thanked you. Moreover, you do not want to receive rewards from me, even though you have bothered to take care of your neighbors."
Smiling faintly, Naya replied, "I don't expect anything in return from you. I just hope for God's reward, you don't have to thank me, don't worry about Ria, I'll be with her until she comes,"
Ares tells Naya to close the door, tight. There was a sense of sadness in him. Naya very clearly kept her distance from him. Of course he keeps his distance, it has to be like that right? Because she is not the type of woman who likes to tease men when there is a chance.
Naya picks up her cell phone and a couple of makana, for a snack. Then he went out of the house and went to Ria's place, returning to accompany her until her mother came. He did not expect Ares to still be standing there. Naya did not care, she seemed not to see the man in front of Ria's house. He entered Ria's house just like that, thinking of Ares as air.
Ares takes a quick look at it, making sure that Naya is already at Ria's house and shuts the door. He returned to the office with a facial expression that somehow hinted at what kind of feeling.
When Naya was inside Ria's house, she saw Ares's food that was not spent.
'Well, this Mr. Ares must be taught, about food so as not to waste'
Naya clenched her lips and then cleaned up the remaining food on the table, taking her to the dishwasher at Ria's house.
'Honey, the food has to be thrown away? If there are around here who have chicken or fish can be made animal food but here there is no, so yes forced to be thrown away'
After finishing cleaning the table, Naya sat down beside Ria while playing her phone Ria stared with narrowed eyes, saying, saying, Ria is looking at her,
"So Mr. Aris went to your house? What are you guys talking about?" Naya turned to Ria, then replied,
"She asked about you, last night bothered about it, that's it."
"What do you need to answer?" ask Ria.
"I answered the truth, how we were last night. Everything's fine, right?" naya said calmly.
" Why, you wonder? Why was it, you did not just talk until the food ran out, dear it was wasteful the food did not run out," said Naya. And Ria answered,
"Well, I asked Mr. Ares to finish his meal, but he left after you."
"Oh," awab Naya.
Ria asked again, "Do you really not like her?"
"So. If you're worried, I told you you like him."
"What?" ria said enthusiastically, "what did he answer?" ask Ria.
" He was silent." said Naya without turning her head, she replied while sliding the screen of her phone.
"Oh," Ria nodded, her lips pouting. He concluded that maybe his taste was clapping one hand.
During the time waiting for Ria's mother to come, they chatted as necessary. Outside of prayer and eating, they are busier with their phones. They are more concerned with the lives of celebrities, the bourgeoisie who like to spend money in their own way, even by sharing, still sharing them still opinions vitback which is also much larger. Or comment on some viral news in the FB column, an app everyone uses to share whatever they want to share, even personal issues. Thus the journey of life of every person who is never the same every episode, while time will not wait.
In the afternoon Ibu Ria had arrived, the arrival of the woman was greeted enthusiastically by Naya and also Ria. They talked for a moment. From the chat they make Naya then know that Ria's mother is a person from the same village as her. Ria's mother brought some souvenirs typical of the area. Nayapun said that a few days ago he visited his hometown, he brought food that was very similar to the food brought by Ria's mother.
Because they feel that they come from the same village they also engage in a very interesting conversation that creates a warm enough familiarity, even Ibu Ria gives some of the food to take home. Naya returned to her home after saying thank you. Ria's mother told her that, as long as she was there, she asked Naya to think of her as her own mother. Naya smiled in response.
There are people who want to make themselves as brothers let alone ask that he is considered to be a mother for others, is something valuable. Desire like this should be best appreciated. Of course Naya would think of her as a mother, and it was true that she was a mother who had given birth to her child and despite all that reality, Ria's mother was a parent to be respected.

The next day, Naya started working.
On the sidelines of his work, he often receives messages from Ares, asking about Ria's situation, or asking about the mainstay menu of the restaurant today, because Nha maam every day always changes different mainstay menus.
Actually Ares's only intention is to find a reason to stay in touch with Naya. But when Naya sees a message from Ares that she thinks is unimportant, Naya ignores the message. Ares did not give up, a few moments later a message from Ares asking the same thing. When Naya ignored him back then some time later the same message will appear again.
Naya was upset that she had never been bullied like this before. For Naya, Mr. Aris who according to him is an adult and even has a teenage child of the same age, Ares' attitude is very childish. Haingg finally he answered Ares's message that had been neglected consecutively,
"Sorry, sir. I'm still working. What if you are disturbed like this, even though there are many more jobs? Ria is fine. His mother has come, and the mainstay of the restaurant special menu today is crab boiled chilli sauce seasoning, now it is available, please come if you are interested"
Naya turned off the phone, then put it in a typical restaurant aphron that was worn as the uniform of everyday servants. And elsewhere. Ares who was still sitting at his qubicle table, laughed. So that attracted the attention of some of his friends whose cubicle was beside him.
With Ares's gesture indicating that he was laughing on his phone, he showed his phone screen showing a chat column with someone. Seeing that the colleague next to him sniffed his shoulders and returned to doing their respective activities. Ares re-reads the message sent by Naya and knowing that her phone had become inactive, she then muttered, on her phone.
"I'm not interested in the food but I'm interested in the waiter, so I'll definitely be there"
Naya had unwittingly sent a message that provoked someone's feelings. Ahq...Naye.
Lunch arrived, many restaurant visitors. Among the visitors was Ares. But he saw that Naya did not approach him at all. He saw that Naya had only kept some ordered food or drinks from others, including herself but that the one approaching her shirt was not Naya so Ares did not have the opportunity to say hello or talk to her. There was a slight disappointment sneaking in his heart.
Until the lunch break ends, which causes all employees and employees to return to their respective places. With a heavy heart Ares left the restaurant. He saw Naya at a glance, he seemed busy doing his work and obligations at the restaurant.
There was regret in his heart. Why didn't he bring Yoni back then. Because he believes that Yoni is with him, Naya will try as much as possible to spend her busy time with her work. But since his lunch time was over, Ares left while sniffing his shoulders and passed towards his place of work.
All the employees have left the restaurant. Naya was still tidying her belongings into her little bag when she approached Bu Nha.
" What's up, bude?" asked Naya with a smile.
Ma'am Nha replied, "this is for you," the fat lady was acidifying an envelope to Naya.
Naya thought with a slight furrow of her brows, she felt like she had recognized this envelope. But the thought was so much that he smiled, then said,
"this is what bude?" naya's question was as expected, until Nha answered, saying,
"I'm sorry I didn't give you anything yesterday, in sympathy, because your father is sick."
Naya is astonished because this is unusual, an employee who gets alimony because her father is sick. And then answer,
"It's okay, Bude, now my dad's fine. Bude doesn't have to bother like this,"
Then Mother replied again, "just accept it as an apology."
"But really, is this a sign of apology? Sorry that's enough to say sorry. Bude don't have to say anything. Shame on me" said Naya.
"Not to be ashamed, just accept it" said Ms. Nha. Naya accepts the envelope with some hesitation but she does not want to disappoint the woman in front of her.
"Yes, then, thank you bude" said Naya, smiling and leaving after saying goodbye.
Naya stuffed the envelope into her little bag, then stepped in thinking.
'What am I supposed to do with the money in this envelope? Do I divide it, yes, to mushola or bought food, keep the food divided as well as the same?'
Naya felt unworthy to receive the amount of money that was inside the envelope. He charged her with carrying the envelope was the envelope Ares gave her a day ago. And the man left it to Ms. Nha for reasons that were made quite strange. During my time working at the place and when some employees asked for permission, because there was a sick family, Ms. Nha never gave a reward as a sympathetic greeting, but for now Naya received it.
Because of such feelings Naya finally decided to infuse some money that was there to the musala-mala that was around where she lived she walked from one musala to another musala until she arrived at home when it was late at night.
Unexpectedly in front of his boarding house he saw someone he knew very well And after being close to the man, Naya said, saying,
"Kanda? What do I need to come here? You know where I live here?"
The man was Rudian, he was standing waiting for Naya there for quite a while. When he saw Naya coming home in the late hours of the night, he smiled and he said,
"Well, whoa. Apparently you're free huh, no husband of yours, can go home all you want like this...?"
"What does Kanda mean?" said Naya.
Hearing Naya's question, Rudian chuckled and replied,
"Kanda... Ahks. You can still call me that name? That means you don't really hate me, do you?" rudian
" What does kanda mean?" Naya replies and goes back to asking, "where do you know I live here?"
"Oh, that doesn't matter" Rudian said as he waved, "it's easy to find out where you live, as long as you're still in this town I'll know where you live?"
'So maybe this is the purpose of the aunt talk at that time. That it is not easy to live in one city or one place for a divorced couple. If both of them still live in one city then every information will be easy to get. Especially if one of them still can not mengikhlaskan. Then there will be distractions in their next life. Hopefully I am a sincere person'
"Are you spying on me?" ask Naya.
Then Rudian smiled again as he said, "again you call me Kanda, that's a beloved call, right?"
Hearing Rudian's words, Naya then corrected her words, saying,
"Rudis. What do you mean you came here? We have no relationship anymore. If you don't have any more needs then I want to rest okay?" naya said as she stepped to the front door and unlocked the door.
"you must leave here, I do not want any slander because here is a boarding place, must not accept people who are not muhrim in the room... Aren't you tired of standing here?"
After Naya spoke at length Rudian said as he took something from his jacket pocket,
"This. I just want to give this to you" Rudian said while handing over the envelope containing some money.
"What's this?" ask Naya.
"it's three months' worth of money, so don't accuse me of being irresponsible, during iddah. Use the money well" Rudian said again, making Naya furrow her brows.
'When I was your wife, you never gave me anything except after I sued you for being unjust. And now that you've got a new divorce, you're giving me money on the grounds that you don't want to be accused of being an irresponsible husband, it's funny'
Naya accepted with a heavy heart, but her lips smiled faintly. He must appreciate this gift so that Rudian is not hurt because he feels he is not appreciated by Naya. However Rudian had been a part of his life and he was not hypocritical that the man in front of him had ever been loved. In fact, the remnants of love are still there, only the shape has been shattered into pieces.
"Oh so it's like that, alright then. I hope you and Yola are okay and she can give birth to a child that I want." Naya said.
"You don't need to worry, I'm fine," Rudian smiled wryly.
Whereas during Naya there was nothing she felt that something was missing. Is not usually people will realize that he really needs other people, when others are no longer on his side. That may be the purpose of God creating the longing for man to appreciate what is before nothing.
"Alhamdulillah. You told me mommy that I'm leaving?" ask Naya.
'Mom's definitely happier now'
"Had, Mom said, I hope you can marry that man" Rudian said.
"Which man?" Naya asked in wonder.
"The one you helped at that time..."
"Oh. Mr Ares you mean?" Naya said with a small laugh.
"Yes" Rudian said firmly.
"If I'm the same as him, are you jealous?"
