The Story of the Children of the Juragan
23. Finding a book
"Aren't you afraid that one day you will be colored by my understanding?"
A difficult question for Wulan to answer. His heart was racing back quickly.
There is no way he could have pawned his faith in the name of love. Especially if both parents knew about it, he could not imagine it.
But what about the affairs of the heart that cannot be forced?
Why, should there be a dividing wall separating us?
The dilemma comes back to haunt Wulan. It turned out that the reality he had to live like a spark of fireworks. Which can't last long.
"I can't answer it now, brother. Wulan just goes with the flow of life."
Silence between the two, until finally Salman spoke. Because feeling bad already makes the girl in front of him bow down sad.
"Let's get another book, which one you like to take."
Wulan nodded and then stood up to the bookshelf. He looked at the book one by one before opening it. Then put it on the table. After that he went back to the shelf and did the same thing as before.
He scrunched his forehead as he tucked away a book that was strange enough for him among business books. Because he was driven by great curiosity, he finally opened it and read a row of sentences that amazed him.
'It is fitting that in every word he is always able to amaze me and demand me to think.'
He decided to put the book in his bag first, so that Salman would not know.
After that, he again observed the book on the shelf and looked for a book that contained more or less the same as the one he found earlier.
His eyes again sparkled when on a shelf there was a book that was more or less the same content as the first book he found earlier.
The girl immediately picked up some of the books and slipped them between the business books she picked up.
"Sister, can you please get me some plastic?" wulan deliberately told Salman to take plastic, so as not to be caught having taken any book.
Salman got up and walked out looking for plastic for Wulan. Then the girl immediately put her book on the table and tidied it up first.
Not long ago, Salman has returned with large plastic.
"Bukain all dong kak." pinta Wulan, Salman also returned to comply with his request. And the girl entered the book carefully so that no one fell. That could have drawn suspicion from Salman.
A smile rose on Wulan's face when all the books were put in plastic. He also breathed with relief. Then he took his drink back.
"How many days are you going to return this many books?"
"Just read it yet, have asked when to return it." replied Wulan relaxed.
"Borrowing the goods has a contract (agreement). If you say you will return it within a month, yes within a month must be returned. If within a month you have not been able to return it, you should contact the lender to ask for additional time."
Wulan was amazed to hear every word Salman said.
"Well, after a year I'll return this book."
"What! A year?" salman was shocked. Wulan giggled amusedly at the expression of Salman who he thought was funny.
