Ustadz Idol
An Answer

" Why does my sister keep quiet?".

" Did you really have the same feeling?, Dimas loved Linda too?".

Dimas still kept his mouth shut. Like I wanted to answer, but I still doubt.

But the doubtful facial expression that Dimas showed Sari, made Sari deduce her own answer.

" Sister once loved her, but sister dodged her for feeling inappropriate for her".

Sari got up from her seat, carrying a stone cobek, and a used plastic dish where slices of fruit were washed into the kitchen. Leaving Dimas alone in the gazebo.

" Mba Sari, his Musa ustadz was waiting at the place to eat", hearing that, Sari immediately looked at Bi Nunung.

" When has Moses come home?".

" 10 minutes ago maybe, when auntie was preparing dishes to the dinner table".

Sari immediately approached bi Nunung and said softly, "did Mas Musa hear my conversation with brother Dimas?".

Bi Nunung shook his head, "He went straight to the dining room when he saw that Sari and mas Dimas were chatting".

Sari immediately washed her hands, took ablution water, performed Dzuhur prayer a little late because it was chatting with Dimas first.

Of course Sari did not want when Moses asked him whether he had prayed or not, and was answered not by him.

Dzuhur prayer saris so quickly, deliberately choose to read a short suratan, so that it is finished immediately, without reciting and praying after prayer. Then walk straight to the dining room.

There was a grandfather, Moses, and a brother Dimas sitting there waiting for him.

" I'm sorry, wait a long time..."

Sari took the rice for Moses and Atmo's grandfather, only then took it for herself.

" Let's eat" said Sari still misbehaved.

The four of them ate together, all quietly enjoying bi Nunung's cooking.

Moses only occasionally looked at Sari, a questionable gaze, but was reluctant to speak. Moses had never asked Sari to explain anything she did not want Sari to tell.

Just like this afternoon, Sari thought about not telling Moses about Dimas, and Moses did not intend to ask him first. Moses always let Sari have privacy, because if it was time, Moses knew for sure Sari would tell it herself without being asked.

The atmosphere of the night was so dark, the clouds were cloudy and the wind was blowing quite fiercely.

Sari who was sitting on the porch of Atmo's grandfather's house, thought about Linda's problem with her brother, Sari waited for grandfather and Moses returned from the mosque after praying Isa congregation, because the night wind felt increasingly cold, because the wind was getting cold, Sari chose to wear a thick jacket so as not to get cold.

Dimas who was in his room decided to go out and sit next to Sari.

" I'm not a good man..."

The sentence of Dimas made Sari turn her head, facing towards him.

"... and it's not appropriate for a good girl like your friend Linda".

" He deserves to be with someone better than me".

" Honestly, I once felt comfortable walking and chatting with him".

Sari did not intend to speak anything to her brother at this time. He just stood still and wrapped his hands in front of his chest to relieve the coldness that was getting inside.

Moses and Atmo's grandfather entered the gate. And Sari was immediately invited into the house because the wind was getting stronger.

***

Sunday afternoon, Sari and Musa decided to go home, on the big road, Sari asked Moses to stop by one of the cafes they passed by.

Linda was waiting there.

Linda who is usually so cheerful, at that time her face looks cloudy.

Linda greets Moses and invites Sari into the cafe.

" Just go home first, Sari will go home with Linda ".

Moses nodded in understanding, giving his wife space to spend time with her friends.

Eli nodded his head greeting Moses, and went inside the cafe joining Sari and Linda.

Moses decides to drive his car and return home.

" I'm sorry it's too late, you guys have been talking for a long time?", asked Eli who had just sat next to Linda and Sari.

" We're also new" Sari waved her hand at the waitress and ordered a light menu, fries and milkshakes.

Eli and Linda ordered the same menu, just different flavors.

" So have you talked to Dimas?", Eli who took the initiative first asked, of course Eli knew if Linda would feel awkward to Sari.

" I had a conversation yesterday with Brother Dimas, and he said that he was still the same Ayu, probably going to a more serious stage", Sari looked at Linda with a guilty look.

" Why don't you ever tell me that you've been close to Dimas' sister?", Sari looked at Linda whose eyes began to glaze over.

" I'm sorry if my words hurt you, Brother Dimas said he never did anything out of bounds with you".

" He also admitted that he had spent the night at the hotel together with you, to confide and just chat", Sari's speech grew louder.

While Eli sighed to hear Sari's words, "but if you're in Linda's position, last night nginep in the hotel alone with a guy who is not a brother".

" Since it is often invited to meet and walk together".

" Aren't you baper if a guy treats you like that Sar?".

" It's also true that Eli, where there are girls who do not baper overnight in the hotel with a guy, even though just chatting and not talking, will certainly foster feelings that are more than just friends", batin Sari's.

" But if you are not sensitive and the same guy Sar.., maybe if you are in Linda's position also will not have a crush on the same guy".

" What is clear is that just give hard code you are not sensitive" Eli said.

Sari only grinned in response to Eli's honest remarks, but was a little spicy.

But Sari did not want to extend the discussion of Eli's satire sentence. What Eli said is true.

Sari just wanted to clear up the problem of Linda and Dimas, so that there would be no more misunderstandings and awkwardness if they met later.

Sari picked up her phone and fiddled for a while, then placed it on the table.

" You are a beautiful and kind girl Lin, brother Dimas does not pantes get a girl as good as you, she is a nyebelin, so you can not nangisin a rich boy brother Dimas", he said", sari said convincingly.

Linda finally started talking.

" Maybe I'm too brave with your brother's attitude all along"

" If he's back with Ayu, and he's happy, I'm happy for his happiness, that means I should be able to forget him soon".

" Because he didn't love me, it's worth it so easily he forgot all our moments together".

" Maybe a shared moment that seemed to me so memorable, but to Kak Dimas, it meant nothing at all".

" I'm asking you guys for help, the goal is to make it clear exactly how she feels about me, and what kind of relationship we're in".

" Now I have the answer, thank you for your help".

Sari and Eli looked at each other and grimaced at Linda's words. His gloomy face tried to be covered up with a forced smile. Makes his face look like a Joker.

" What if you I know Mas Musa together?, let cepet move on from Kak Dimas?".

" Kak Dimas it does not pantes you love", muttered Sari.

" I want to rest first, do not want to connect with other men, want to spend time and pamper yourself, it looks like it will be fun", a look of hopeful face when Linda said that.

" Because you two came here at my request, I bought your food" Linda smiled as she sipped her favorite strawberry shake.

" Thank you again" Linda said.

Sari took her phone off the table, and returned to fiddling with it, then put it in a bag.

Inside the room, Dimas opened an audio message sent by Sari and listened to it.

Sari's conversation with Linda came from her cell phone. Dimas can only bow to his kebo-do-han.
