The Love Story of Two Pearls
36. Old Friend

The day changed, the quiet night now began to leave, leaving cool air that also delivered a beautiful voice calling the servant to go back to the Khaliq.

A girl with long hair curls began to open her eyes, she who was used to being awakened at dawn has now sat without the help of friends who have been leaving her for a week. The morning prayers that were sometimes so difficult he carried out seemed to pass away so that he could finish them easily.

A sense of desolation returned to the room when he came out of the room, and found no one there but himself.

"Hufth, I thought Yasmin had left me here for a year? eeehhh turned out to be only a week old, bosaaaan" muttered Anna grumbling to herself.

Bored and lonely is what he feels, although almost every day he will be VC with Yasmin, but, as Yasmin said at the time, let go of the longing through VC and meet in person is clearly different.

This time, Anna tried to train her cooking skills, if yesterday she has been good at making fried rice, this time she will try a new recipe that she took on google.

While he was busy cooking, suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Who's here so early in the morning?" he muttered as he walked to open the door.

"Assalamu 'alaikum.. haii Anna, remember me?" said a tall, white man.

Anna frowned, "Who is it?" tanyanya then felt she did not know the man.

"Jeez, I'm Ryan Anna, your old little friend, you don't remember?" answer Ryan.

"Ryan's? Ryan.. Ryan..." Anna tried to remember the name and adjusted the face of the little boy she had in her memory to the face of the man before her now.

"Oooh it turns out you, crazy, are you a Power Ranger huh? I don't recognize your change at all" Anna said, hitting Ryan's shoulder.

"Well, you can, your barbarians don't change" Ryan said.

"I think my barbaric nature is ingrained, hahaha" Anna laughed.

"Ann, I'm not welcome to come in?" ask Ryan stale.

"Sorry Yan, guys can't go into this house unless it's family or in a precarious state" Anna said, embarrassing Ryan a little.

"If you want to say, you sit here Yan, this is indeed prepared for male guests" said Anna pointing to the chair on the front porch of the house, "you sat here first I made you drink" then he continued to enter the house.

A few minutes later

"do you know where I live here?" anna asked as she sat down next to the table between Ryan and Anna.

"From your uncle, yesterday I had time to go to your uncle's house, but said uncle, you again contracted near your campus, so only today I can meet you" said Ryan.

"Ooh that" said Anna briefly.

They talked for a long time, reminiscing about their very close childhoods like stamps, where there was Ryan there was Anna and vice versa. Ryan also played in a marriage with Anna (as he had told Yasmin). Even Ryan had promised to make Anna as the real bride in the future.

Sure enough, Anna was Ryan's first love at that time was 8 years old, however, unlike Anna who was 6 years old at that time was very innocent do not understand about love let alone marriage.

After completing his studies in America, he chose to return to his homeland. In addition to helping his father run the family company, he also wants to pursue his first love again.

Morning in Makassar

Yasmin was currently sitting by the window, looking straight at the children playing together on a sunny morning. It did not feel like he had been in Makassar for a week, honestly he missed his best friend very much.

I went into Yasmin's room after knocking her first.

"Son, how many lamaki would have ta'arruf with Yusuf?" (Son, how long will you be with Joseph?). Ask Shawwal's father.

"Maybe about a month Dad, I will find out the info about Joseph's brother in Ibu Rina" replied Yasmin.

"Good son, ta'arruf it does not need to be done for long, because the initial intention is indeed for marriage, if indeed you already feel suitable for each other, then immediately get married. Good intentions should not be delayed, because the devil always has a way to block a good intention and tarnish a holy intention" said Father made Yasmin nod to understand what his father meant.

"Oh yes come home tonight son, Dad is healthy, I don't want to for the reason of looking after Dad, you so leave your college, especially now you are PKL, you are, it must be uncomfortable to do your own PKL when your friends are done with the PKL and you still have to replace the PKLmu days left behind" continued Dad again before turning out of the room.

Yasmin who heard him was surprised, the plan he was here was two weeks, but the father had told him to return to Jakarta when he was only a week in Makassar. It is true, if he does not immediately return to Jakarta, then he must replace his PKL for 2 weeks itself.
