"Thank you, Mba' Naziah and Mas....?!" eka said thank you and thank Naziah and Adi. But the sentence was held back, because it forgot the name Adi.
"Call me Adi. No effort to add frills Mas." said Adi smiled sweetly towards Eka.
"Oh. yeah. Thanks, uh, Adi!" repeat Eka thank you.
"Hem." answered Adi briefly.
"Yes already, because the car is on and in shea Allah can walk as well. Now, time has almost entered the prayer isya. Your home, how far is it from here, Mba' Eka?" ask Naziah.
"Em.. is still about 20 kilos away from here, Mba'." answered Eka.
"Hem... still pretty far huh! Is it okay, if you go home alone?" naziah said again, with worry.
"It looks like it's okay, Mba'. It's not too late yet. And usually, at this hour. Still quite crowded with other people driving. So, in shaa Allah is still safe, Mba'." answered Eka, reassuring and did not want to make the person who had helped him. So the more hassle with having to deliver it to get to his house as well.
"Aamiinu. Alright. Then go home first. My message, if it passes through deserted streets. Drive your car faster and be careful. Don't mind! If anyone wants to ask you for a ride. Focus on getting home, okay! Go!!!" naziah warned Eka before telling her to go home.
"Good, Mba'. I'm going home. But, I have to pay for the radiator water that Adi has brought. How much is that, 'Di?" answer Eka. And then I asked Adi.
Adi who was just about to say something to answer the question thrown at her was. Instantly became urgently because Naziah had already cut the answer.
"Not necessary, Eka. Let that be my business with Adi. Go!!! Not that I kicked you out. It's just, hearing your best friend's story earlier. Honestly, I'm a little worried. If only I had brought my own motorcycle here. Maybe I'll take you near your house!" clearly Naziah with the look on his face that did look worried for the safety of the girl he had just known a moment ago.
"Oh my God, Mba'! Thank you for worrying about me. I'll make sure I get safely to my house. But before that, can I ask for your phone number, Mba'?" ask Eka to Naziah. While reaching into his blazer pocket and taking out his cell phone from there. Then show it to Naziah.
"Of course, I can. Here!!!" answer Naziah quickly. "This. Have I saved ya?!" he picked up Eka's phone and started charging her phone number there.
"Yes. Once again thank you, Mba' Naziah, Adi and all. I'll go home first. I hope we can meet again next time. Assalamu'alaikum!" eka said goodbye.
"In God, aamiin. Wa'alaikumusalam." replied Naziah and Adi together.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" said Rega, Devan and Ifah also together.
Eka started riding in her car and did not forget to wear her seatbelt. Then start the engine of the car. Then, by driving slowly he directed his car to enter the road and join other vehicles that were passing there.
After Eka's departure, Adi also said goodbye to Naziah.
And so intelligent Naziah quickly understood the meaning of his friend's gaze.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Introduce, he.." replied Naziah with a slight twist of his body that had turned his back to Rega and Devan to face. To introduce the two other men who were with them to Adi.
But Rega, who had glanced and found a sign of Adi's view on Naziah. Immediately back cut off Naziah's words and introduced himself to Adi, the male friend of his future wife. Just like that he introduced himself to Eka.
"Did you know, my name is Rega. I'm her future husband Naziah. In shea Allah will marry her in a week from now!" rega said with an emphasis tone. While extending his hand towards Adi with a smile full of compulsion.
As if affirming Adi, that he is the prospective owner of Naziah, the only one. So, don't try to approach Naziah again.
Heard Rega's words like that. Adi could barely speak anymore. Fortunately, he was able to master himself and reintroduce himself to Rega. Although in his heart was so shocked by the statement from Rega.
"Well, nice to meet you, sir! My name is Adi. I'm a friend of Naziah's. We have known each other since he came to this city for the PKL during his college years. And we became more familiar after he often visited the workshop where I work today, at his leisure." said Adi introduced himself and welcomed Rega's hand. Then a little explained about his closeness to Naziah at this time.
"You're very lucky, sir. You can get a woman like her. So take good care of him. In order not to fall into the hands of others." added Adi. But in a way whispered into Rega's ear. So that his words were not heard by Naziah.
"of course. I'll take care of him. Thank you for reminding me." replied Rega.
Meanwhile, Naziah heard Rega's words. The one who again cut her words with high confidence introduced herself as her future husband. Make him pry in the heart and curse Rega.
'Why does he always cut me off anyway!!! How regrettable! Does he know that I will only introduce him as my friend and not as my future husband. After all, what a harm if only introduced as friends!!! And why is he so keen to introduce himself as my future husband. So strange?!! Is it... Am I that special?!" batin Naziah felt both annoyed and excited in his heart. Because Rega was so proud to be her future husband.
Naziah turned his eyes the other way. When Adi was closing in on Rega and whispering something in her ear. So, when he again heard an ambiguous sentence for him and said by Rega. Naziah seemed to be finking at the tip of his inner forehead, confused. But trying to be indifferent and thinking, maybe the two men were discussing male affairs. So women like him and Ifah can't hear it.
After Adi finished getting acquainted with Rega. He also met Devan. After getting a little acquainted, Adi immediately resigned to go home.
"In that case, I'll go home to Zi'. I've been out of the house long enough. Mom must have been looking for me because I didn't have time to say goodbye to her, just now." said Adi
"Yes. Oh, my God, you were. Why didn't you just come out! Yes, go home! It's money to pay for your radiator water, just now" Naziah said slightly punching Adi's upper arm. Then hurriedly reached into his blazer pocket to retrieve his wallet. And gave the money to Adi.
"Aauh.." said Adi pretending to be in pain while rubbing his arm that was punched by Naziah. "That's it... Not necessary. I sincerely help you and also your friend earlier." declined Adi. "Don't forget to invite me! Assalamu'alaikum!" he continued whispering towards Naziah as well as immediately moving away while saying hello.
"Alright, thanks. In Shaa Allah, Wa'alaikumsalam. Be careful on the road! Greetings to your Mama!" answer Naziah.
"Hem. I'll tell you. Huh...!" adi said again. And then he started riding his bike leaving Naziah, Ifah, Rega and Devan.
