Utami Khoirunnisa's
23. With you like autumn

This time, Utami deliberately went home early and missed the rote deposit, she was lazy to remember anything, only Abi was on her mind.

Well, they do not know closely, although still in the same area, Utami does not know where Abi's house, do not know what the man was like and how he lived his day.

But really, Utami misses him, hoping that the man will come quickly to the mosque because he is alone now.

"Assynnya!"

Sure enough, the Voice of the Heart always leads to the truth, Utami's hunch is true, whether by chance or what, but Abi comes with a white peci and her cocoa shirt and black sheath, handsome as usual.

"Waalaikumsallam" Hearing the existence of sahutan, Abi was surprised and could not believe that Utami had been gathered in a corner holding tasbih granules in his hand.

"Eye?" He walked over and sat in front of her.

"Sorry, your Tasbih is broken" he said with his glassy eyes, Tasbih was given Abi, valuable for him, but it is broken now, the number of grains was much lost.

"No papa, I'm wearing a new one!" he again took off the twists of the prayer beads that were always embedded in his hands.

"But-"

"Ambiil" he started installing the mock mode again.

"Keep this one?" Utami showed me her broken prayer beads.

"It can be stacked again, there are many other details at home" With the heart of Abi received the prayer beads so as not to occur physical contact and not to cancel the wudhunya.

"You miss me?"

"Huh?" Utami asked reflexively, hoping she didn't hear wrong.

"This hour should still be in school, right?"

"Yes, I'm actually a little worried" Utami bowed to hide the red hue on her cheek.

"My same?"

The girl nodded faintly.

"Si Agus if the story likes to lie, surely he said I want to change schools and boarding schools right?" guess exactly.

"That's not true, I still want to be here, Besides my intention is good enough, I want istiqomah, I have a teacher, and I have you" he continued

Utami blinked a few times, glued to the last sentence.

Silent!

The man doesn't talk anymore, doesn't he realize he said that? Is his face red too? Utami wanted to look up but did not dare.

"Ekhm" Abi cleared his throat salting, he scratched his non-itchy nape.

"Ke Magrib is still far away, want to walk around the complex first?" bring

"Two?"

"Yes, skuy" his smile then moved, walking first, followed by Utami half a meter behind him.

Not a bad thing either, It feels like this afternoon you see like autumn, leaves on the roadside flying in the wind, dried leaves scattered all over the road.

They sat on the stump of a new tree. While enjoying the afternoon breeze and the high sky.

"So you miss me?" Abi asked back.

Utami just chuckled "noose"

Smiling again, Utami really did not know what to say.

"Greetings from mom"

This time the face dared to look at Abi with full of surprise. "Your mother?"

Abi smiled and nodded "From dad too"

His smile widened, not knowing why, his heart wanted to explode. Can't look at that handsome face for long.

PLUGS!

Until a dry leaf falls into his veil. "There's tenacity falling into your veil" Abi said, scaring the nakuti.

"What really?" Utami's question instantly froze, amused himself.

"Yes that..."While pointing amusedly towards his veil.

"Abi don't joke" reflexively held Abi's hand in fear, instantly feeling cold. Success made the man laugh funny looking at Utami's expression.

"Seriously, please singkirin" he grunted in annoyance.

Abi's smile did not fade, his hands raised to take the dried leaves, making Utami misunderstand and close her eyes tightly.

If only Utami had seen, Abi's smile was so glittering as she stared at her beautiful face, clearly in unconsciousness. It always just happens.

"Udah!"

Slowly Utami opened her eyes, and immediately turned her face while saying istigfar because the distance of their faces was too close.

"No, our ablution is void" said Utami aware that he had just held his wrist. "You anyway!"

"Sorry" his grin is innocent.

For a moment, the situation was silent again, Soluble in each other's minds, but a topic came back to Abi's mind when he saw Utami began to move his prayer beads.

"I'm sorry" he repeats his sentence seriously, then keeps his distance.

"From that I've gone too far with you" he said again.

Abi went back, followed by Utami, but this time they walked in tandem with a distance of one meter.

"I always couldn't stand myself" He glanced at Utami without looking into his eyes.

The girl was still silent, just waiting for Abi's next sentence.

"All the women who were my girlfriends at that time, I took away their honor"

Barely believing, hearing it like a nightmare, as depraved as Abi's behavior, why did Utami's admiration begin to diminish a little in just an instant? He squeezed his long veil a little hard.

Seeing Utami's change in attitude, Abi again explained. "But that was then, and you can judge me now"

The ever-simmering net now turned cynical. "Why did you bring your past to me?"

"Let's not expect too much about me"

Right, Utami looked too perfectly at Abi.

"Everybody has a past" he said, aware of one thing. The shadow of his past also turned back around, like a recording in his head.
