Lon Galak Gata??

Sitting on a park bench behind the house. Slightly windy afternoon slightly, swinging the tip of the hijab and skirt following the wind direction. He was a little disappointed, apparently his brother had not arrived. Still on the way. Probably at home by 9 p.m.

"Why pout?" Nico who just came from the direction in the house, immediately menjwil chin taper the wife.

"I should call Bang Candra. Kirain was there, apparently still on the road. I was going to my brother's house now. Not being a-"

Suci had to patiently resist his desire to meet the brother in person, to ask for souvenirs of the meeting at the Lake.

"Will be able to ask over the phone, baby." Nico asked Saints to shift his seat to the end of the bench. He then spread his head against his wife's thigh.

"It's better to meet you, Mom. I'll be there later." Suci stroked the hair of the husband and gave a light massage on his head.

"Tomorrow Anita will come with her husband, Mas Jimmy and her son, Naura." continued Nico. The gentle massage of Holy hands on the head made him relax.

The saint responded by simply nodding his head. The wedding reception will be held on Sunday night. Just waiting five more days. The big family started coming.

"Tomorrow afternoon Umi will also come. We're staying at Bang Candra's house huh Mas ? I miss Umi."

"Can." And Nico invited Suci into the house because soon adzan magrib.

Holding each other's hands, they entered the house. Mother called out to the two when she saw the child and the daughter-in-law was going to climb the stairs.

"What's up, Bun?" Nico sat on his back on the long sofa beside his mother. The saint chose to sit on the sofa beside him.

"Your perception is in a moment. Even though he was married, he had to go on a pingitan for three days." Mother stared at Nico and Saints.

The protest reaction was apparent from Nico. He tilted his body with a shrunken forehead. "Not do it, Bun. Why should everything be cut. I couldn't get away from him" Nico's gaze turned to his wife as she said the last sentence, accompanied by a blink of an eye.

"That's a shame, Bun." Sacred rolled his eyeballs. Her husband's behavior in front of Mother made her ashamed.

Mother reviewing thin senyun. His son seems to love his wife so much.

"It has to be cut. It's tradition. Starting Wednesday, you need to split up. I'll see you at reception tonight!"

Saints breathed a sigh of relief. Her face looks crisp because it will be temporarily detached from her husband who always clings to her every night.

"I'm following Mother. From tomorrow I will also move to Bang Candra's house because Umi and Rahma will come."

Another is the surly Nico. Clearly he objected to the rules of the Bundanya which he thought was making up.

The call of prayer magrib has been heard. Saints pulled the hand of Nico who was reluctant to wake up because his protest was not responded to Mother.

"Let's go Mas, already Adhan" Suci passed first to the room to prepare her husband's sarong and cocoa clothes.

Two days after his return to his hometown, Salma began to have his own busy life with his cellphone. Her father's request to get married soon made her open up to befriending men, who were single of course. Invite friends in social media that he always ignored is now confirmed.

Candra came out of her room ready to go home. He stared in wonder his secretary was still sitting sweetly in his chair with smiling lips. The presence of someone who stands in front of his desk until he is not aware of it because of the focus of replying to chat.

"Eh."

Deheman Candra's voice managed to make Salma raise her head.

"Eh sir, want to go home?" Salma keeps her phone on the table. His smile was glimpsed as the boss stood looking at him.

"Yes. You tumben haven't come home yet?" Candra's forehead is still shrinking. Because not usually Salma is still relaxed at his desk when the clock comes home.

"I'll be home in a minute, sir. There's a meeting appointment first." Salma spoke as is.

"Male or female?" Unknowingly, Candra stared fixedly at the beautiful face that always appeared fashionable with polite clothes and long hair neatly arranged.

"Male is musty. I started moving on again. Let's go home later and bring a girlfriend. My butterflies have been hot asked only when married to the Father, the same neighbor. Huft." With a chuckle, Salma casually told the reason for his meeting.

"DON'T, Salma!" Spontaneous Candra is approaching the edge of the table. He leaned his face sharply into the secretary's two brown eyeballs with both hands resting on the table.

"I mean what if that guy's no good. I'm worried, Salma. I've looked like my sister." Candra can first master the situation. There is something strange about his feelings. Why is it like not willing Salma will meet other men.

Why do I feel unhappy is only considered a sister by her.

Salma tried to smile, neutralizing her nervous feelings as Candra was still staring at her intensely.

"God willing I can take care of myself, Bang. I studied silat at school. So be safe lah-" Salma-style take out the style of the horses while frowning wide.

A noise was heard from Salma's phone which he hastily opened. Unknowingly, the face of the man who was still standing resting on the table was looking at him with a huff.

Salma sparkled after reading the message she received. "Sir Candra, I'm sorry first. He's waiting for me at the front restaurant. Bye Pak -"

In the spirit of 45, Salma grabbed her bag, leaving in haste to leave the transfixed Candra with a flat-faced look.

Arriving home, there was already Suci and Nico who had picked up Umi from the airport. The once sour face again brightened to see Umi in the family room was gathering. Candra immediately hugs the mother with feelings of affection and longing.

"Abang, take a shower first. We're going to dinner." Suci stopped Candra who was busy talking to Umi. Candra immediately got up, half running up the stairs towards her room on the 2nd floor.

His curiosity still lingered in the heart. After dinner, Suci asked for time to speak with her brother. On the upper balcony, the two stood with their hands leaning against the pillars. The thick of the night becomes beautiful because of the decoration of the stars scattered.

"Bang, so what are the results of the friendship to the Lake? I can't wait to know from yesterday." Suci seemed enthusiastic and excited waiting for his brother to tell his story.

A moment Candra was silent. Last time he had promised the Saints, would introduce Rachel as a future wife.

With many breaths, Candra began to tell her story starting when she did Istikharoh until her separation.

The saint was stunned after hearing everything in detail.

"So you're a mystery." Candra said to herself with her gaze fixed on the sky. The flickering of the distant star nu as if smiling gives comfort to a heart that is disappointed.

"Yes, Bang. And I've experienced it. Now you also have to experience it. It turns out that someone who is at heart, just becomes a story of the past. Not until it becomes the future."

"Don't know. There was someone who loved my brother all this time. He is always faithful to his feelings, loving in his heart, in silence. He kept it for 1.5 years." Sacred turned her head to look at Candra by his side. He smiled looking at the older brother who was surprised by his words.

"Who, Dek?" A look of curiosity was clearly visible on Candra's face.

"S-A-L-M-A." Saints spell slowly, letter by letter.

"Don't joke! Seriously, Deck!" Candra shook her head. He did not believe the words of his brother.

"Thousand rius, Bang. Try to check your heart. How it feels to interact with Salma. Is there any sense of comfort, pleasure, loss if he's not around. Or just flat?"

Spontaneous Candra palpated her left chest. Salma's flashback says "I like someone, but unfortunately he's not on me."

What is the man in question, me?

Candra recalled Salma's reply this afternoon at the office.

"*You are a man, sir. I started moving on again. Let's go home later and bring a girlfriend. My butterflies have been hot asked only when married to the Father, the same neighbor. Huft." Chuckling, Salma casually recounted the reason for his discovery.
