The Unused Ex
First Meeting

Flashback 2 Years Ago...

Maya stared blankly at the group of people who were visiting her house at this time. While the echoes of takbir still continue to reverberate throughout the country, in order to welcome the holy day of fitri.

The routine of visiting each other that happens now always leaves a bad feeling in the heart of the girl. Because there will always be unpleasant questions. Which will generally be aired by aunts, cousins or also elders and elders in his extended family.

One of them is Maya's conversation with Bi Ros, her father's youngest brother.

"Have you got a boyfriend yet, May? How never to be contacted? Aunty will also want to meet your prospective acquaintance." said Bi Ros from chirps.

"Maya doesn't have a boyfriend, Bi." Maya replied with a short answer.

"ah! Any timing? You are a beautiful gini.. You don't have a girlfriend..?" ask Bi Ros can't believe it.

"Yes, Bi.. Maya doesn't want to date.."

"Now that is it? How do you want to meet a suitable guy, May, if you don't know a guy first?"

"Mh.. Later also if it is time, Maya's soul mate will come alone, Bi.. Maya is sure so.." answered Maya is still trying to be patient.

"Where can it be, May.. The soul mate is also like a fortune. You have to search for it!"

'Duh.deh difficult if already discussed about a mate.. How to escape from here, Maya thought in her heart.

"I mean Bi Ros worked, right?"

"Yes. Must try. The way is by going out, Mel. If you stick around in the house, where can you meet the right guy? Like a turtle clumping in its narrow shell. Aye right?!" exclaim Bi Ros fiery.

Up here, Maya starts to get inflamed. Even though this kind of conversation has often been faced since the last few years. Especially since her graduation ceremony a year ago.

Not only Mother and Father who wanted him about when he would get married, but now all the brothers of his father who lived nearby were almost always asking him that. Until the heart and ears of May.

"Auntie, May is also trying again right now." said Maya defended herself.

"Oh! So you have a girlfriend now? By the way, Mel! Wear all the shame again!" sahut Bi Ros's.

"ee.. May doesn't have a boyfriend, Bi. Maya has often said that May does not want to date.. His girlfriend will be after marriage. So May's current effort is to improve May first. Then hopefully God will pair May with a good man and also se kufu',"

"Alaahh. What the hell is kufu-kufu-an, Mel. Don't be too religious, if you're a real person. There will even be a soul mate far away!"

'Astaghfirullahal'azhiim's chat.. Kok ya even so cursed this way anyway.. Original. want to run away. Where is Bry? Not usually children can not be sandeled!'

Now Maya's eyes began to drift around. He was looking for Bryan, the only brother he had.

Usually Bryan was the one who often helped Maya from unpleasant conversations like today.

"This is it.. Bi Ros help find a husband for you, May? Relax aja.. Bi Ros Cariin you like! What are you the type, May?" cecar Bi Ros is unstoppable.

"Ehh..Maya likes her simple, Bi. Loving and responsible. But the main thing is to read the Quran!"

Maya finally stayed in the direction of this chat.

'Making in yes in aja deh. Yes at least can be happy people are also okay, ' so think Maya.

"The rich, right? Also a handsome?"

"It doesn't have to be rich either, Bi. Wealth can be sought. Not a problem either, Bi. If you are old, you will also be wrinkled. Uh, but Maya was astonished. Bi Ros can still look young gini huh? What's the secret, Bi?"

Bi Ros happily explained all the natural beauty recipes. And this made Maya able to breathe a sigh of relief in the end.

The second conversation only stopped after a distant cousin of the Father came and interrupted the chat.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Rosa! How's he doing?"

"Gee! Brother Yuni! I'm healthy, brother.. Brother how are you?"

"good.. Uh, who is this, Ros? Is your son?" ask the woman called Yuni. His attention pointed to Maya.

"Ooh. It's Maya, sister. His eldest son Mas Teja,"

"Well, it's big, too. Are you married?"

'Oh my! New also survived Bi Ros. This even wanted to be bombed again with these mothers.. Where the hell is Bry??!'

Although her heart was beginning to fidget, Maya still gave a polite smile to the middle-aged woman.

"Never, Aunt.."

"Oohs.. Lah good. Want to be like aunt's nephew. Fia is also single. Pesantren graduate. Just two years ago!" said Aunt Yuni so suddenly.

Just sober Maya was dumbfounded. But his eyes immediately followed the direction of Aunt Yuni's hand which was now holding the arm of a young man beside her.

The man has a sweet face with a nose that is quite sharp and also the color of brown skin. In one look, Maya could immediately recognize that the man was indeed a graduate of the pesantren.

This could be seen from the man's attitude that immediately lowered his gaze when Maya looked at him.

Feeling breathless, Maya runs out of words. He could only comment on a shy smile without being able to answer either an offer or a joke from the mouth of Aunt Yuni.

'Duh.. So shameful! Where the hell is Bry??! Some body please, help me!' maya's inner scream.

"Well, that fits this. What's his name, brother?" bi Ros's voice sounded excited as a matchmaker.

"Name Suhan. Suhan, let's talk! Auntie period also has to recognize yourself anyway?" aunt Yuni said.

"Assalamu'alaikum Aunt Ros.. Mayanist.. My name is Suhan.." The man introduced himself in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft. Just mediocre.

Deg. Deg.

Ba dump's. Ba dump's.

'Ehh..?? Why is this heart? How does it feel so groggy? Azaghfirullahal 'azhiim..'

Maya greeted the introduction of the man named Suhan with a faint smile and a small nod.

Now the 22-year-old girl is busy neutralizing her heart pounding suddenly.

Meanwhile Maya did not realize, that every act of his always paid attention to by Suhan. In his heart the man had established himself that he would anchor his soul mate choice to the cheeked woman before him. Mayanist.

This decision was taken since he accidentally heard every sentence Maya when chatting about the soul mate with Bi Ros a moment before. The woman with a mind like Maya was the one she had been looking for all this time.
