Musa brought the car up to the beach of turtle bay. time shows at 13.15 WIB. The afternoon weather was a little cloudy, the sun was like hiding behind a mega. So it's not too hot to play on the beach even during the day like this.
" We look for a mosque or mosque first, it is almost over time Dzuhur", Musa invited Sari to take a walk to find a place to pray.
" Tadz, Sari can't wear this here", Sari took off her high heels because she can't wear high heels like that on the beach sand. Sari also raised the height of the batik skirt with a mermaid model, in order to step freely.
" There is no plan to go to the beach yesterday anyway, so do not bring a change of clothes, surely all eyes will stare at Sari because of the clothes that Sari wears this", muttered Sari while manyuning.
Moses did not think to get there. " You get in the car for a minute, I get you a shirt, at the store it usually sells clothes".
Musa quickly bought two sets of clothes for Sari and a set of clothes for himself. After paying for all the groceries, Moses heads back to the car and hands Sari a beach T-shirt.
" Change your clothes in the car, I wait outside" Moses said, closing the door.
Long enough Sari changed clothes in the car, because the kebaya in use using a lot of buttons on the front.
Sari got out of the car wearing a beach shirt. " Ustadz, where are the sandals?", asked Sari as she glanced at her non-sandals feet.
" I don't know your size, we'll look for it together" Musa said, then took turns getting into the car and changing clothes.
Moses only changed his boss, because all this time Moses was not used to wearing knee-length shorts, must always use trousers, so Moses decided only to change the top only.
" Widih..the ingredients are the same, so buy a couple an nih, hehehe", Sari chuckled at seeing her clothes twinned with Moses.
" It turns out ustadz so sweet as well, not stiff very stiff", inner Sari.
After Moses got out of the car, Sari took his Sling bag where he put his HP and wallet.
" We find flip-flops first yes, maybe there are in the row of shops earlier", Moses walked to a row of shops in the follow Sari who tailed, and found a seller of home flip-flops.
" This wear is not papa yes, the existence of ordinary flip-flops" said Moses while pointing at his sandals. " What's your leg number?".
" Number 10", replied Sari briefly.
Moses paid for the two sandals, only they both returned to find a place to pray Dzuhur, the time is very late.
After praying, Musa and Sari walked back to the beach.
" Ustadz this", Sari gave two pieces of money a hundred thousand.
" This what does it mean?", asked Moses astonished at Sari's attitude. And refused to accept the money from Sari.
" Sari actually heard about the myth that says that if people date and give gifts of clothes, it can make their relationship break up, therefore, Sari gives this, Sari gives this, to change the clothes that Sari was wearing", Moses who had just heard of such a myth so smiled to himself while shaking his head.
" But when you also buy Koko's clothes for me, do I also have to give replacement money to pay for Koko's clothes?", asked Moses while giggling amusedly.
" Ooh.if it doesn't need Tadz, then there was no commitment between the two of us. So don't change it".
Moses nodded his head.
" Other than what other clothes can I not buy for you?" asked Moses.
Actually Moses did not believe in such a myth, therefore Moses still refused money from Sari, but Moses wanted to respect Sari who believed him by trying to ask.
" I know that" replied Sari.
Sari and Musa continued to chat while walking along the beach, occasionally his footsteps were hit by small waves that removed their footprints both on the sand.
Sari shouted so cheerfully that she felt herself in the middle of the open ocean, because at that time the sea water was a little tidal, so when Sari selonjoran sat on trekdam, her feet reached the sea water.
The waves that hit the reef make the atmosphere on the beach so calm.
Moses sat next to Sari, of course still with phisycal distancing, aka keep the distance.
Moses did not want to be forgotten if he had made physical contact, even if only intersecting.
" When did you turn 17?" asked Moses, staring at Sari.
" Why?, is Ustadz really going to marry me?, Sari does not want to marry young" answered Sari honestly.
" Just in case, if there is a loss, and avoid sin. Actually with the two of us like this, it is also not good, but I also do not deny I want to both be with you. While being with you, there was a sense of comfort and happiness here", Moses pointed to his heart.
Sari immediately melting heard the words of Moses. But Sari could still think sanely. And rejected Moses' invitation to marry young.
" But Sari is afraid that getting married means having to do the rights and duties as a wife. Sari is not ready for ustadz".
" As ustadz said at that time, if ustadz will support Sari until Sari can achieve Sari's ideals, Ustadz still reminded with the promise of ustadz?", asked Sari.
" I remember, and do you remember your promise back then?, when Grandpa came home from surgery".
Sari tried to remember.
' Sari's promise will help Ustadz if someday ustadz needs Sari's help, as long as Sari is able, God willingly Sari will help'
Sari remembered the promise she had made to Moses.
" Sari had promised with frills of the word 'if capable' in that sentence, and now Sari has not been able to become Ustadz's wife, SORRY!", said Sari firmly.
" If ustadz wants to wait until Sari reaches the ideals of Sari ya alhamdulillah, but if ustadz already married, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER CANDIDATE !". Sari stood up and walked towards the car back with an erratic feeling. Of course Sari is very sorry and feels pain in her heart, when saying 'please find another candidate'. Because those words just came out without his mind first.
Moses stood up and followed Sari.
" It seems the myth is forbidden to buy clothes is true, just a few minutes wear clothes gift, already want to finish this story", Sari's mind while feeling arrogant towards Moses' car.
In the car on the way home, Moses and Sari were still silent, no one intended to start the conversation.
Suddenly Moses spoke.
" Sar.. actually I just want to be able to reprimand men who approach you, like Rohmat earlier, but our relationship is this. I myself am still confused to call our relationship how".
" I will certainly wait for you, but sorry if what I do is not as romantic as men in general, because as long as we have not come to faith, I have limitations in behaving like you", musa said softly, but Sari could hear clearly.
" Sari knows, ustadz people who know religion, for that reason Sari accepts ustadz, because ustadz is different from men in general. So ustadz don't have to worry because I'm not the type of woman who likes relationships that use physical contact" Sari explained.
" I'm sorry for my selfishness, we're fine, right?", asked Moses gently.
Sari nodded as she took out the two hundred thousand pieces of money earlier. " We're fine, but accept this, I don't want us to finish just like that" said Sari still discussing the myth.
Moses had to take the money and put it on the dashboard of his car. Although it is still not out of thought if Sari children today, still believe such myths.
What is important is that the misunderstanding can be resolved quickly.
