The Love Story of Arumi
Eps2

In a cafe, there are about 10 people who are now alumni of babussalam boarding school.

They held a meeting event, to raise cottage funds, this has become a routine 2-3 months for some alumni.

Because right now, they are the ones who have finished and who will continue this routine every month.

They are currently waiting for the arrival of 2 more friends, Zahra and Joseph who have not arrived since.

"Why hasn't 20:00pm arrived yet, have they not joined the meeting this time?" one of the other friends had asked, the drink they ordered was over.

"We should hold this meeting after the maghrib prayer, so the specified time must also be missed, until after the prayer isya'."

"Because maybe, there are some people who have meetings like this one of us, assume their friends will wait until everything is gathered."

"What, should we start?" The other friend had started to feel bored, waiting too long.

"Wait a minute! maybe they'll come, if they don't come, they'll tell us, right?" said Arumi.

He was also waiting to see Joseph, he wanted to know the news at this time.

"Arumi is right, at most they will be back again until," Widya continued.

Finally they told me what campus and where, also when after getting out of the boarding school.

A motorbike stopped in front of the cafe, Zahra and Yusuf had arrived.

One of the friends there, saw the 2 people shaking hands.

"Eh, look at me. Zahra is dating Yusuf, don't you think? why always stay together, then it must be both, boncery anyway."

This time they became the center of attention, looking towards the two who had just got off the bike.

"Two bonkers keep yah? not afraid of slander, they're just friends, not mahrams."

"Astaghfirullah," said Arumi

holding his chest, which felt tight.

"You why mi? you're not pa-pa, are you?" ask Widya. Invite the attention of other friends.

"Why mi?" askthem.

"I'm okay, you guys calm down! I'm just thirsty" said Arumi.

Immediately drank his drink, while glancing towards Zahra and Joseph, who were heading towards where they were sitting at the moment.

"Where was suf? new nyampe at this hour, dating first huh?" ask Ali Yusuf's friend.

Hearing that, Widya directly hit Ali's arm.

"Any thing you li, can't date sins tau no," Widya said a little angry to Ali. Then he turned towards Arumi who had been looking down.

"There are you li" Yusuf replied, glancing at Arumi as he sat near the male friends.

Unlike Zahra he never once denied, he just smiled accused of his friend dating Joseph.

Zahra and Yusuf have been friends since sitting in elementary school (SD), wherever Joseph went there must be Zahra, but because now they are both adults assuming different people.

The tightness in Arumi's chest the more pain, the stiffened face held back the crying, no matter what he felt.

But he always thought positively of Joseph, remembering when Joseph used to call himself and say.

"I'm with my parents and I will meet your family to preach, God willing, after we finish college"

The feeling of pleasure when Yusuf said that, because of his affection and admiration for his smart and good self towards Arumi.

Arumi was afraid of losing the figure of Yusuf whom he had just known since entering the boarding school.

Indeed, lately Yusuf and Arumi rarely share news, can be said not at all after graduating from school and out of the cottage to continue college.

"What did you talk about, can we start? it will be too late for us to go home" Yusuf said, glancing at Arumi.

"We are waiting later here suf, until rust," said Ali.

"Yes, you are far from old li" replied his friends.

They all laughed, except Arumi and Joseph.

"Partially, we make a pact after the Isya prayer' departs, this already wants the new tahajud prayer until."

"I'm sorry everyone, I still have business, fortunately Yusuf is waiting for me," said Zahra smiling at Joseph, Yusuf also returned a smile.

"When will I be with you again? it's going to go together, so the house must also be together, is it okay mi?" zahra said developing her smile.

Asked by Zahra, Arumi raised her head and replied.

"Why ask me ra, the one who brought Joseph's motorbike is not me."

"But I'm afraid you're jealous of me, because of Yusuf's mutual bondage," he said, as if he felt bad.

Arumi became nervous and a little embarrassed Zahra said that, because she had nothing to do with Joseph.

"What do you mean ra?"

"Already mi ra, we just continue all of it," Widya became an intermediary.

Then they continued to discuss, about donors in the babussalam boarding school.

...**********...

"Assalamu'alaikum, morning mother father, zy immediately leave yes, afraid late." Run from the top down the stairs to the dining table.

Arumi is called Zy by her family.

"Wa'alaikum hail, breakfast is for a while." Mother Faza does not want her child is late to eat.

"Why hurry, son? sit down for a minute." Salman's father doesn't like it if Arumi does something in a hurry.

"Yes father, mother, zy is afraid of being late at the first ospek on campus," Arumi said as she scooped the fried rice onto her plate.

"Since breakfast just left, do not be too rushed to eat slowly and also when driving, take care of the safety of the child." Salman's father reminded him that eating should be enjoyed not the way the devil eats.

After finishing breakfast Arumi say goodbye, to immediately leave for campus.
