EL NATH (Glorious Regrets)
BonChap - Hair (7)

Nair was sitting in front of a girl he had loved since he was 18.

Nair was always hypnotized at the graceful-looking girl with a calm manners who always displayed a thin smile on her face.

Nair is 24 years old. So is Naira. The certificate of education of the doctor's profession program is already in their grasp. After graduating from medical school, they continued with professional education or commonly called a doctor koas for one and a half years in one of the hospitals in this city.

"After this, what's Nai?" Asked Nair who was no less calm with the girl in front of him.

Naira seemed to think for a moment. "New internet for a few months, Nair."

Internship is the termination and establishment of new doctors to graduate education for the alignment of educational outcomes with field conditions. For the benefit of doctors to be ready and proficient later when self-practice.

"After that, take a special education, maybe," continued Naira.

"Maybe?" Asked Nair with a frown. "Tumben hesitates."

Naira breathed a heavy sigh. All this time he did know Nair had special feelings for him. He also knew, Nair had asked him from his Abinya even though from his Budenya lips.

Her brother never said anything about Nair and any young man who sent her CV.

Not insecure, Rahardian just does not want Naira to feel burdened with marriage and marriage problems. Rahardian just wants Naira to focus on achieving her dream of becoming a doctor.

Because after marriage, the responsibility for her daughter is no longer with her. What if whoever becomes his son-in-law does not allow Naira to continue her education as a pediatrician?

Rahardian is just an ordinary man. He is like a father in general who always thinks about the happiness of his daughter.

"No doubt, but I still want to enjoy the quiet times. Don't want to worry about education."

Nair laughed softly. "Capek huh, all this time like a romp?"

Naira nodded. "Open the chase anyway Nair. But I'm totally fixated on the target. Anyway this year should be this, next year should be this."

"Oh my God, sometimes wonder, too ambitious?" Naira said to Nair.

Nair nodded with a small laugh. "That's really. Sometimes I'm not grateful for anything to target."

"But sometimes think too Nai, while there is still a chance and the way is right, why not?"

Nair and Naira, years only make them establish a relationship only at the boundaries of friendship. There is no expression of affection that Nair tells him because he does not want Naira to feel uncomfortable when with him.

And today, Nair revealed everything for the first time.

Nair saw the condition of the cafe is not too crowded, where the two sit while enjoying lunch.

"Then..."

"Yes..."

"Ehm..." Nair seemed to doubt.

"Why?" Naira asked the man in front of her.

"I'm..." Nair silent.

"What the hell is Nair?" Naira asked because Nair seemed hesitant and did not want to continue her words.

Nair took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

I hope now is a good time to start again.

"I love you, Nai."

One short sentence that managed to make his chest rumble violently. His heart was beating uncontrollably. Naira repeatedly held a distinction in her heart.

Oh God, why is my heart overreacting. Why is there a happy feeling in my heart. I know, Nair used to ask me from Abi and should have known that he had feelings for me.

What made me not expect was that Nair admitted plainly even at times like this. When we are in a relaxed situation.

"I know this is sudden for you, Nai. But I don't know why my heart says I have to say this."

"Not from yesterday or a year ago, but from many years, from the beginning we are back in the meet."

"I fell in love with the melodious voice of the girl who read the Qur'an in the campus mosque."

Naira turned her eyes, shocked. Nair heard me read the Qur'an in the campus mosque?

"I fell in love with a woman named Al Naira Rahardian, whose copy of the name was tucked neatly between the sheets of the Qur'an that I found."

You see that name, Nair? Is that why you can easily find me in college?

"And I became more and more convinced of how I felt when I found the same name in the photo album from Kindergarten. A photograph of Al Naira Rahardian."

"Naira, please...."

"If my feelings are reciprocated, and one day you're ready to go home, tell me immediately."

"Because I'll be coming to your Abi right then."

"Naair..." Nair waited for Naira to speak.

Reply to my feelings Nai. We have been friends without ever fighting. We have been sharing stories about many things. All this time we helped each other during one of the tribulations. Is there not the slightest feeling for me, Nai?

"Naair..."

Naira looked down inside. "I'm..."

"I feel the same way about you."

Nair directly rubbed his hands on his face. "Thank God, thank God." he was happy.

Naira who heard that immediately looked at Nair who was seen developing her smile.

"But.." continued Naira.

Buty? Oh, my God, not a deal yet?

"I can't be married anytime soon, Nair."

"I still want to achieve my goals."

"I'm afraid that if I get married any time soon, I'll neglect my duties as a wife." Naira squeezed the tip of her hijab. I don't know, he was never this big when he was with Nair.

"I still have to continue my education for the next four to five years."

"I hope you understand, Nair?"

Nair nodded. He understood what Naira was feeling. However, he must know that there is a big responsibility behind the status of the wife.

A lot will change if he is married. Nair knew, the girl couldn't possibly decide everything without thinking long. There are parents that he might invite to discuss this issue.

This was what Nair liked about the girl in front of him. The girl who always acts calm, and not grouchy.

But at least Nair was happy. Feelings reciprocated. Loving in silence that he has been doing, in fact, is not in vain. Naira loves him too.

"So, how's Nai?"

Naira was silent for a moment. "What about Nair?"

Nair is wrong. "Our status and relationship?" Nair himself was confused, after this what status they held. Are you friends or dating like any other young couple?

"Our status and our relationship nothing has changed Nair."

"Stay the same."

"That can change us only the process of ta'aruf, khitbah (lamaran) and akad." Naira smiled faintly.

"Actually, starting today, we who are just the two like this should also be avoided, Nair."

"By guarding yourself against adultery."

Nair nodded. Actually this is wrong, but they're not really the two, there's a lot of people here. Nair also always tried to keep his views and orgasm.

"Thank you for returning my feelings, Nai."

"May Allah ease my path, your path and our path together."

"God willing..."
