The Shy Duda
Her shadow

Day after day passed already. Now Fadlan has realized that he likes Rania. In the past few days, Rania has started to look in the shadows wherever Fadlan's eyes look. Fadlan himself did not expect if now he experienced the same thing with Rania first, if Rania's face began to be imagined. The day is shadowy and the night is dream-blown. Fadlan sleeps, Rania's shadow is present beside her, Fadlan goes to the bathroom, Rania's shadow follows her to the bathroom. Rania was always present wherever her eyes looked.

Fadlan is now out of his room, , intending to have breakfast, this time making him breakfast is Sarah, because some days Fadlan cuisine is always preoccupied.

On his way to the dinner table, Fadlan was silent to see Rania sitting with Pipit and Zidan for breakfast. Fadlan also sat with them while staring at the shadow of Rania who was smiling at him.

"You here?" Fadlan asked who saw Rania's reflection.

Zidan and Pipit had exchanged lyrics, not understanding Abinya's question.

"Yes of course I'm here, when I have to have breakfast at Aunt Dewi's house anyway." Zidan. Zidan thought that if Fadlan asked him when Abinya was asking Rania's shadow.

"Did you see Aunt Rania here?" Fadlan asked curious about the figure of Rania who was now smiling at him. Back Zidan and Pipit exchanged lyrics, but this time they were already smiling.

"Cieee, Abi asked Aunt Rania in the morning." Said Zidan, there was a tantalizing tone in his sentence.

"If Abi wants Aunt Rania to have breakfast with us, I can tell Aunt Rania to come here right now." Pipit.

"Don't, don't." Fadlan hastily forbid it, he only realized that Rania who is now smiling at him is only a shadow. Fadlan had been preaching earlier. His brain and mind are now overpowered and filled with his daughter Doctor Husna. Especially now that the shadow of Rania approached him had even sat on his lap. Repeatedly, Fadlan repeatedly beristighfar, but instead of leaving, the shadow was getting closer.

After breakfast, Fadlan instead sat daydreaming on the sofa. Pipit is approaching.

"Abi's thinking about a pretty aunt, huh?" Ask Pipit. Fadlan simply smiled as he stroked his head Pipit.

"Abi, Aunt Rania's a nice guy, beautiful too, I want her to be Abi's wife." Pipit. Fadlan looked at his daughter.

"Do you like Aunt Rania?"

"Hmm."

Pipit was nodding.

"I like it too." Zidan sat next to Fadlan.

"I agree that Abi is married to Aunt Rania." Zidan gave his blessing. Fadlan just smiled.

***

That afternoon, Fadlan was deliberately waiting for Rania to give her something. Usually Rania likes to hang out on the edge of the plantation or on the bridge. But this time Rania was sitting on the edge of the plantation. Fadlan met him with Pipit.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur."

Rania immediately smiled seeing the arrival of Fadlan and also Pipit. Fadlan was seen carrying a medium-sized paper bag.

"Duda Bag, Pipit."

"Sorry to bother you, I'm here to give this to you." Said Fadlan while giving the paper bag. Rania immediately accepted it, unexpectedly if Fadlan would give her a gift.

"It was unexpected that this Duda mas would give me a Gift. If it is not gamis, it must be a diamond because it may not contain a sack of rice. My hands are shaking like this." Inner Rania.

"Thank you."

When Rania opened the paper bag, she frowned, then she smiled to see her shoes were missing and only the right was in the paper bag. Rania looked at Fadlan.

"Mas Duda found it?" Ask Rania.

"Sorry before Rania, your shoes all this time I kept. I know this is your favorite shoe that your father gave you when I was alive, actually I have wanted to return it but I used to be afraid of the oath you made. You said if someone found him, he'd be made a husband." Fadlan.

Rania is smiling.

"So now Duda is not afraid if I ask Duda mas to marry me?" Ask Rania. Fadlan lowered his head in shame making Rania even more anxious.

"Ikh if the nyubit as nyium is not sinful, want to feel like I'm now kissing and pinching this shy Duda, gemeezzz." Inner Rania.

Finally Fadlan was forced to tell if the shoe hit his face at that time until his nose immediately nosebleed. Rania was surprised to hear that.

"So this shoe floated and hit his face duda mas?. I think the time of the nosebleed was just hot Duda in, oh no idea got hit by my shoes huh. I'm sorry, but my shoes took their toll." Rania felt guilty.

"It's okay ko, oh yeah, your veil that I found on the farm, I was going to give it back, but Pipit forbid me, she said to her veil, let it be a memento."

Pipit instantly smirked.

"It's okay, ko."

Rania sincere.

Pipit suddenly approached Rania and whispered in her ear.

"Tante, lately, Abi has always seen the shadow of Aunt Rania, the face of Aunt Rania is always in the shadows." Whispering Pipit, until Rania smiled to hear it. Fadlan was silent, he began to narrow his eyes, suspicious of his daughter's whispers to make Rania smile.

"What did my daughter whisper to Rania so smiling?" (Fadlane).

"Wah mas Duda felt the same way as I had felt before. My shadow is always present wherever his eyes look, surely if the day is shadowed and if the night is carried by dreams." (Rania).

"Hi hi hi." (Pipits).

"Duda felt the same way as I did?. Is my shadow starting to haunt Duda now?" Ask Rania.

Looks like Fadlan can guess what her daughter told Rania. Fadlan was suddenly embarrassed to admit it until he could only duck, occasionally wiping his nape.

"Duuh saw the Duda mas shyly so, my hands suddenly itchy want nyubit. GEMEEEZZZ." Inner Rania.

"Rania, I'm the same Pipit go home first." Fadlan.

"Let's not answer Aunt Rania's question, ko went straight home anyway." Pipit a little protest.

"Ssttth." Fadlan's already given the code. Rania could only smile.

"Assynogaic"

"Mosur."

Fadlan had looked at Rania who was now smiling sweetly at him, immediately Fadlan looked down again, he walked away from Rania while holding her hand Pipit. Being too down with shame and gerogi, Fadlan finally stumbled until he fell.

BRUGH'S.

"www."

Rania was surprised, as was Pipit. Actually Rania wanted to laugh, but she was detained, it was funny to see Fadlan who was gerogi to cause her to fall . Want to help, but he believes that Fadlan would not want to be held.

"Mas Duda is okay?" Ask Rania.

Fadlan immediately shook his head, feeling embarrassed as well when falling before Rania.

"It's okay Duda, maybe now just fell tripped, who knows tomorrow fall in love with me." Inner Rania was hopeful.

Fadlan again continued his steps while holding his hand Pipit. Suddenly Rania called out to him.

"Mas Duda."

Fadlan stopped her steps then looked at Rania who was now smiling.

"I LOVE YOU."

Fadlan only answered through a smile.
