"Alhamdulillah," I said as I stretched my muscles. Finally my work was done as well, I glanced at the clock that was coiled around my wrist. The day began evening.
Various kinds of papers and maps I cleaned first on my desk, only after that I grabbed my work bag. My step foot steps led me out of the office, not forgetting the greetings and warm smiles I got from my colleagues.
My mind still floated to the incident when I left for work. But I quickly shook my head and focused back home. It suddenly crossed my mind to buy something for Aisyah.
My wife loved chicken noodles so much, it was so nice to see the smile on her face when I brought her the food.
"The chicken noodle bag five yeah." I said to the chicken noodle dealer on the side of the road.
"Okay sir" I smiled. My bead accidentally met a woman this morning. With a quick step, I approached the girl who seemed to be carrying a swish pouch in her hand.
"Wait!" Prevent me from making his steps stop. He looked at me surprised.
"Eh Sir." Answer's clumsy.
"I was the girl this morning, right?" I guessed, I actually knew it.
"Em i-iya, I'm sorry you left you without saying thank you."
"It's okay." His appearance now looks neater even though it is simple. Her hair looks waving because of the night breeze, really charming and em pretty. His eyes are big but not very round, his eyelashes are pliable. Her lips look natural pink but slightly pale. Her face was sweet with a mole under her left lip and her complexion was lighter yellow.
Athaghfirullah, no! What is this, I look at the face of another woman with a long time like my wife. Aisyah, I'm sorry. I love you so much.
"Em, however, you are very meritorious to me, sir. Thank you very much, and I will try to pay it off." The answer was soft and innocent, so adorable to me.
"There is no need to pay it off, after all, the debts are your father who has it actually. No need to replace it." My heart is still with my stance, I also actually do not have the heart to see a girl as young as it should scavenge efforts to pay off debts that are not small.
"All right, thank you, sir." He looks resigned.
"Oh yeah, where are your dad and your mom? Why do you have to pay it off yourself?" I was curious, and suddenly his face changed and looked down.
Finally I relented, there must be something that made him hurt. "Ehm, I'm sorry if my question is presumptuous and makes you sad."
"No sir, it's not like that"
"It's okay, oh yeah it's night. You're here alone?" My eyes swept around.
"Yes sir, I'm just looking for food."
"Em want me to take you?" I don't know, suddenly my mind moved my tongue to say that.
"I don't want to bother you."
"There's no need to hesitate, let's follow me." Take her. He smiled sweetly, for a moment I admired the beauty of God's creation.
"Oh yeah, you just go in first. I bought something, wait a minute."
"Good sir."
Another one I ordered chicken noodles for him. Even some other foods that are next to the chicken noodle dealer. Looking at him, I thought that he must be very hungry. Several times he was seen rubbing his stomach and I heard a sound coming from his stomach.
"It's enough to get here, sir," he chanted suddenly to stop my driving.
"But I don't see a house here." I cringed while looking around.
"My house goes into that alley, sir." Point it at a narrow alley. It is also slightly bright because of the light.
"Ouh that? Yes already, do I need to take you? Looks so lonely, danger isn't it if you're alone through this alley?"
"No need, I'm used to going through it."
"I don't accept rejection, now let's show you where your house is." I took my car safety and opened the door. I forgot some of the food I bought.
The girl seemed to breathe out, "Alright sir."
"I'm sorry, sir" he said grimacing.
"It is precisely I who apologize for not paying too much attention to the road." I smiled.
"Yes, we've reached Mister."
"So this is your house?" I asked while looking at his house that looks simple but looks clean.
"Yes, sir, would you like to stop by first? Can I make you a drink?" Finally, I thought for a moment. I saw the clock in my hand. Not too late even Isya', I think it doesn't matter if you stop by for a moment.
"Alright, if you don't mind."
Again I saw that sweet and charming smile.
"Oh yeah, we don't know each other's names yet, so what's your name?" I just remembered this. He put drinks and snacks on the table.
"Jihan, my name is Jihan."
Jihan, what a beautiful name. As beautiful as the person, no! My Aisyah is more beautiful, from all sides Aisyah is still the best. Although Jihan is younger.
I shake my head and smile. "My name is Yoga, oh yeah after this you don't call me Sir huh. I'm not that old, nor are we that far away."
"Okay, sister, uh I mean can I call you sister?" Tanya smiled sipu.
The more anxious I thought, "Of course, it's better."

POV Author
Murat anxious and worried plastered clearly on Aisyah's face, not like her husband usually came home the night. The clock is showing at 9 o'clock. But there is no sign of Mas Yoga returning.
"Areally where are you, Mas?" The mess, his feet continued to step to and fro without direction.
Druums.
Aisyah heaved a sigh of relief, thankfully it turned out to be someone who was in the middle of her later arrival until also.
"Mas Yoga," he exclaimed happily and immediately grabbed the body of Yoga.
"Dad." Sahut Yoga smiled, gently behind his head wrapped in hijab owned by his wife.
"Why did you just come home?"
"Sorry baby, I made you wait too long. Yes, let's go straight in. It's night, I brought you this too." Yoga did not answer the questions asked by his wife, could not if he lied. But I also don't have the courage to be honest.
Showing food that is cold. He grimaced and realized it. "Sorry, cold."
Aisyah smiled, "Yes Mas is fine. Can be heated again later."
Yoga enters the house that is already quiet, indeed the residents in this house rarely stay up late. If there was, it would be Intan. That was in his room.
"Have you eaten?" Tanya Aisyah prepared the chicken noodles that Yoga brought.
"Em already. But I know you're hungry, baby. Eat first, let me be with you." Yoga knows well, morning and night. Aisyah could not eat if there was no one beside her.
