Salma and Ustad Andi left the restaurant and headed straight for the parking lot.
"Ustadzah Salma really don't want me to take you home?" tanya Ustad Andi's.
"Thank you Ustad Andi for the offer, but I'll bring my own vehicle" Salma refused politely.
Ustad Andi rubbed his nape because of the wrong window.
"Oh yeah already then, be careful on the road."
Salma nodded her head.
"Let's Ustad, I go first." said Salma and Ustad Andi.
Salma headed for his vehicle, while Ustad Andi continued to pay attention to Salma who was walking towards his car, until the car that Salma was riding drove off the parking lot.
"Hhhuufftt .. , it turns out this is what love feels like to be rejected" said Ustad Andi.
* flashback on
Salma who had just finished teaching and entered the teacher's office. As he put some books on his desk, Ustad Andi called out to him.
"Salma's Foundation."
" Yes Ustad."
"Some thing I want to talk about."
"Oh yes, please Ustad. Ustad want to talk about what?"
Ustad Andi shook his head. "I don't want to talk here, would Ustazah Salma have time if I had invited Ustadzah Salma to speak outside?"
Salma frowned. "what's Ustad about?"
"I'm sorry if I can't this afternoon. How about tomorrow."
"OK beso, tomorrow I will tell you again yes," said Ustad Andi.
Salma nodded her head.
The flashback
Today Salma received a message from Ustad Andi saying, invite him to lunch at mall x restaurant. Salma was about to refuse but felt bad because she herself invited to meet on this day. Eventually, Salma came to the restaurant.
Arriving at the Ustad Andi restaurant invited Salma to eat and after eating they spoke.
"So what does Ustad Andi want to talk about?" ask Salma.
Ustad Andi seemed to take a breath before speaking, like he wanted to relax himself.
"I'm sorry when I was earlier. Actually, I have long held my heart and feelings for Ustadzah Salma, I know that I am not worthy to be a companion of Ustadzah Salma, just ... it's just that I don't want to keep this flavor for too long. Whether the Ustadzah can accept me or not, I am relieved that the Salma Ustadzah can know how I feel."
Salma was so shocked by Ustad Andi's frontal confession, but she tried to master the situation and remain calm. Before speaking, he tried to relax himself.
"Thank you in advance for the feelings Ustad Andi has had towards me. Speaking of inappropriate and inappropriate matters is his right of God, it should be me who does not deserve to judge all of it, he said, I think it is not a matter of merit or inappropriate Ustad Andi to be my companion at this time, but more to me who does not intend even ready to foster or have a bond with someone. Maybe Ustad Andi has heard stories about me before, apart from wanting to set my heart, I want to improve myself for the better. There is still a lot I want to achieve. Sorry that I cannot accept Ustad Andi's feelings at this time, I hope that the rejection I give does not make our friendship become tenuous."
Ustad Andi who listened to it just smiled bitterly Although he was disappointed at least he felt relieved that he had conveyed what he felt.
"You are truly special Salma" Ustad Andi said in his heart.
"It's okay, I just thank Ustadzah Salma does not hate me because I have been presumptuous to put my heart towards Ustazah Salma."
"It could be Ustad Andi, the matter of the heart is the above business. Is not Allah turning over the hearts of men, and we do not know what will happen in the days to come."
Ustad Andi smiled hearing what Salma said.
