The Journey of Love Habibah..
Surprising news

For one week Ricky was in the camp where Habibah worked. He lives with a foreman who happens to be single. During that one week Zelly was always urgency not clear the cause. Everyone he was angry, no exception Habibah also got part of his anger. For one week Zelly almost never smiled let alone laughed. His face was not friendly to anyone. Zelly herself was wondering why she couldn't control her emotions. Every time he remembered Habibah, he somehow always wanted to be angry. Although the girl made no mistake, in her eyes the girl was making a mistake.

Habibah's second weekend came home to take Ricky who had to go home to the city because he had to go to college. Although with a heavy heart, Ricky finally returned to the city. While waiting for travel to come to pick up, Ricky chatted with Habibah's family in the living room.

" Oh yes sir, if one day I come back here, may I not sleep at my father's house?" ricky asked Mr. Rukmana on the sidelines to drink the tea they were enjoying that morning.

" Please.. Our house is always wide open to anyone who comes to visit. During his arrival with good intentions of course we will receive with open arms." replied Mr. Rukmana.

" You heard that Nur, I can stay here if I come back here. So you can't ask me to stay at the inn again huh.." Ricky said to Habibah with his usual potent style. Ricky did not care even though he had to behave like that in front of the Habibah family.

" You're so Rick, I've never met anyone like you. In addition to thick face, you are also smart to take advantage of the goodness of people." mocked Habibah with a smile.

" You are indeed my best friend Nur...!" with anxiety Ricky embraced Habibah's shoulders from the side. Who was immediately greeted with Habibah's eyes glaring at him.

" Sorry..hehehe.." said Ricky blushed in embarrassment, because he had unknowingly done so in front of the Habibah family.

Soon the long awaited travel finally came. After saying goodbye to the Habibah family, Ricky went on a trip that would take him away that day. Before he grabbed the car's door handle, he turned around and quickly hugged Habibah which must have surprised everyone there including Habibah. She didn't expect Ricky to hold her in front of everyone who was there. Before everyone was shocked, Ricky let go of his arms and got into the car. He lowered his window glass then waved his hand with a wide smile. I don't know when we'll be able to meet again. If we meet again, is it still alone or is it already owned by someone? I don't know who will have your heart and live with you. Whoever he is, if you can be happy then I will feel happy because of it. Whisper his heart while looking at the photos of him and Habibah for a week that was on his phone.

Habibah's days are back to how they were. Zelly is no longer angry. Everything came back as usual. But the pleasure only lasted for three months. Because one morning, just after following the morning apple suddenly the girl received a call from someone who made the look on Habibah's face immediately became grim. And Zelly saw very clearly the change in Habibah's face.

" Who called you Nur, is there any bad news?" ask Zelly worried.

" It was from my father, ask me to stop working from tomorrow" replied Habibah slowly.

" Why is that sudden..!? Can't it be delayed..?" suddenly, Zelly panicked. He was not prepared to hear such news. He never wanted to hear those words even if he could only dream.

" The reason why you should stop working tomorrow..!?" ask again.

" because next week my future husband will come. For in two weeks I want to marry sir " replied Habibah weakly. She herself was not prepared at all for the news of her marriage.

" What..!? Marriage..!? You want to get married in two weeks..!?" asked Zelly not to believe what she had heard. He wished that he had heard it wrong, even though he had heard it very clearly earlier. But his heart rejected what he had heard.

" Yes sir, I want to marry." said Habibah briefly.

Zelly leaned her body against the back of her chair. Habibah is about to get married but she suddenly seems like her world is collapsing. That day the atmosphere inside the division office became suddenly silent. They are busy with their own thoughts. No one can focus on their job anymore.

Zelly's attention was only on the girl who was in the office with him. So many questions that he himself could not answer. Because Habibah himself never told about his personal problems. So there's no way he could ask that. But he really wanted to know the truth.

* You why Nur? Since that moody morning..?" finally a short message was sent also to Habibah's mobile number.

" Why not." replied Habibah briefly.

" Can I ask you something?" ask Zelly again.

" yes." replied Habibah even more briefly.

" What makes you moody, is it because of your marriage or because you stopped working?"

" Both." Habibah's reply was short.

" Both..?"

" Yes." The short answer made Zelly feel very anxious. He hoped that Habibah would say a lot to him. Unfortunately, the girl did not do it.

" Can you explain the two things? Because I don't know what you mean..?"

" Yes both . And I can't explain that to you right now. Because there's nothing to explain."

Habibah could not explain to Zelly if in fact he was not ready to get married in the near future and he also actually still wanted to work. Because everything was sudden, mentally he was not ready at all to face both things. But she did not have the courage to convey her heart to her own family or to her future husband and his family. Their communication that day can only be done through a short message, even though they are in one room. The day felt completely different and strange.

Oh my God. How can it be like this? He's in front of me, but I don't even dare to talk to him directly. I just talked to him through a short message? Is crazy..! What kind of man am I?

He sits right in front of you, where is your courage as a man? Come on, Zelly, your guts where to deal with a little girl you don't have.

Zelly continued to scold himself, but he still did not dare to speak directly with Habibah.
