USTADZ
68. The Key to a Relationship

Sunday night.

Syahla and Anggika are already sitting sweetly at Gian's house. They were busy looking around the house while Gian prepared his meal.

"Need help?" ask Anggika to offer himself. Syahla had also gotten out of the chair, about to get up to help Gian, but the man hurriedly prevented.

"No, no, no. You are here as guests. So you guys sit down sweet. Okay?"

Syahla and Anggika looked at each other, they felt bad, but then chose to return to land their buttocks on the chair.

Half an hour later, Anggika and Syahla had already glanced at each other. The food in front of them was ready. The smell of fried shrimp has also been tempting Syahla's nose since. The problem is, why isn't anyone else coming?

"Eh, it's the one who was invited to Lo's house just the two of us, huh, Gian?" ask Anggika getting impatient. Honestly, his stomach has also been protesting to be filled since. He deliberately emptied his stomach since the afternoon to fulfill Gian's invitation.

"I actually invited the others, but why haven't I come yet? Try me a check first," Gian finally got up from his seat and exited the apartment. Leave Syahla and Anggika who are silent in their respective seats.

"By the way, although that guy lives here, but neat too huh?" Anggika whispered to Syahla. "Look, the plates are arranged by color and sorted from large to small. Well, if it's rich gini we've lost La,"

Syahla just smiled faintly and nodded briefly. His quarrel with Ustadz Amar made him lazy to talk.

"Eh, why did Mr Amar call me?" Angika frowned in wonder. "La, why?"

"No need to be lifted," Syahla seized Anggika's mobile phone and immediately rejected a phone call from Ustadz Amar.

"Loh, you know, why the hell? Why do you die? It could be important, right? Herein hape Gue," Anggika protested while trying to take her phone back, but Syahla instead put it in a bag.

"No, nothing is important. No need to lift the tree."

"What the hell? Are you with Mr Amar? What's up again? Yesterday Lo was angry because Mr. Amar did not chat Lo at all. Now time on the phone, uh not even picked up. It's so weird, Lo, you're so unstable!" Manyun Anggika while folding her hands annoyed. He became upset because his phone was confiscated by Syahla. "People, can Mr. Amar call me because there is a similar business I! Not the same time!"

Syahla did not respond to Anggika's remarks and instead chose to be busy with fruit ice in her glass. Anggika. He spoke at length but was not heard.

Fortunately, moments later Gian appeared and muted the silence between the two women.

"Where? They're coming?" ask Anggika because she saw Gian back alone.

"Unfortunately, they're all busy again" Gian scratched his non-itchy head. "I forgot that the residents of this apartment are all busy city people. They're on average at work, so it's just the three of us."

"With all this food?" Anggika. "It's a lot!"

"Yes, that's why," Gian let out a long sigh. "Should you try?"

"We share," Shahla gave the idea. "If the residents of the apartment are busy, we share with the security guard below, gardeners, or street vendors around the building. They must have accepted happily," Syahla then bit her lip when she saw the two people in front of her just staring at her dumbly.

"Eh, I just give you some advice" Shahla said awkwardly.

"Good it!" Gian gave a thumbs up. "Because of the long stay in this city, I forgot that there is a culture of sharing. Yaudah, we just eat first, we keep setting aside to share with the people," Gian then took a few large bowls and began to separate vegetables and side dishes. Anggika patted Syahla's shoulder with pride.

"Gue didn't expect to have an angel, '" Anggika joking.

"What the hell!" Syahla shook her head to hear Anggika's words. "Tau gel!"

...----------------...

After eating together, Gian, Syahla and Anggika began to distribute the food they had set aside before to the people around the apartment. Starting from the cleaner, Mr. security guard, until the satay seller who often rode in front of the complex. As Shahla said, they received Gian's gift with pleasure and even gave a prayer bonus for Gian.

"Yes, thank you very much Ganteng. Hopefully launched all his affairs, and accelerated to meet his soul mate," said the satay seller sir to Gian.

"Ofename!" Gian answered loudly. "Add his prayer sir. Hope this is his soul mate,"

"May this soul mate O Allah.. Uh, which one is mas?" Sate's seller looked curious. Gian just smiled as he put his index finger on his lips.

Mr. Sate's seller frowned for a moment when he saw who the woman Gian meant. "Neng Shahla? Loh, it's not that he's already—"

"Gian!" Syahla waved at Gian as a sign for the man to approach. Without waiting for the satay seller to finish his speech, Gian immediately darted towards Syahla. Meanwhile, the satay salesman sir looked at them with an astonished look.

"Isn't Neng Syahla married?"

...----------------...

"Thankyou yes, if it wasn't for you, it would have been a waste of food" Gian led the two girls to their apartment doorstep.

"Yes Gian, Same. Thank you also for inviting us" said Syahla while smiling sincerely.

"Okay, well, good rest then. Good night, girls!" Gian waved his hand and stepped away towards his own apartment. While Syahla and Anggika waved their hands back with a big smile.

"Don't let her fall in love with Lo" Anggika said after Gian disappeared from view. Syahla took a long breath.

"Well, where is it possible?" Syahla decided to ignore Anggika's remarks and chose to open the door code of her apartment.

"So of course, his eyes were shining like that,"

"Lamp times ah, shine." Syahla opened the door and looked at Anggika annoyed. "You're not going in, are you?"

"Yes want dong, dih not very patience anyway," Anggika stepped in first. "So, what other problems do you have? Wh why? Are you angry that Mr Amar is not present on your birthday? Kan Pak Amar has been giving effort by presenting both Lo sisters here. They go back and forth the same day for Lo. What else makes you angry?"

"Not the birthday problem Nggi," Syahla stepped on the somersault and landed her ass on the sofa. "The thing is, Mas Amar brought a girl!"

"Huh? Real ones? What kind of girl does that mean?" Anggika approached Syahla and sat down on the sofa.

"So, I called Mas Amar yesterday. I'd like to know that Marla was vaccinated, just as I miss her. But you know, the time that picked up the phone was even a really beautiful girl with blonde hair! How am I not angry try?"

Anggika rounded his mouth wide. "Seriously Lo? Uh, wait, wait. Context, they just two doang or something else? who knows they're together because there's a college assignment, right?"

Syahla looked at Anggika with a grim face. "Yes, actually, Mas Amar has clearly explained that they are still working in groups. And really rame there. But right, why is that girl holding onto Mas Amar's hape? What urgency? Then, why is he so brazen about picking up someone else's phone?" shahla's hand clenched as she recalled the incident the other day. "Duh, make it go all over!"

"But it's only natural that Lo keles," Anggika nodded her head in understanding. "But, have you heard Mr Amar's explanation until it's finished yet? Yeah, who knows if there's any urgency until the girl holds onto Lo's husband's phone, right?"

"No, yet" Syahla shook her head slowly. "I'm in the hunt for her phone,"

"No, right.." Angika patted her forehead in frustration. "Denger ya La, the key to a relationship is communication. If you avoid communication, you will only make things worse for you! Now, Lo dreadin. Right now, grab Lo's phone, and call Mr. Amar back."

"No ah," Shahla shook her head. "Prestimate the call time first,"

"One.."

Shahla was wide open to hear the words of her best friend. "Why did Lo follow Mas Amar anyway?"

"Two.."

"Oh, Anggi!"

"Ti—"

"OK, Okay! I'm getting a cell phone now!" Shahla. For some reason, the counting method always succeeded in making him give up. It seems Ustadz Amar deliberately passed down the Science to Anggika in order to face Syahla.

Anggika waited patiently for Syahla. Until a while later, his heart seemed to jump out because Syahla shouted loudly from inside his room

"WHY LA?!" yell Anggika worried.

"THAT GIRL DM ME!"
