Her.. A Choice For Me
A PACKAGE

Kost-an Soka, Morning.

Naya woke up this morning in a still very sleepy state, faintly visible dark circles appearing under her eyelids. Apparently Naya stayed up late with Vita watching a horror movie until two in the morning right after Naya did her college assignment.

" If Abang knew, I would be eliminated ". Naya said as she got up from her bed and looked at the mirror near the bathroom door.

After 30 minutes in the bathroom, he now looks much fresher when taking his face to perform morning prayers and morning dzikir. After he finished worshiping later, other routines were ready to welcome his busy day. Naya sees Vita still sound asleep, but, it feels very lazy to wake up his best friend that morning because honestly he was still very sleepy and did not want his morning mood that was in yellow mode aka sensi can be ruined by scolding and Vita's noise.

An hour later. Naya was tidy, getting ready to go out of the room and get off for breakfast. As she was about to get up from the seat, her eyes inadvertently looked towards the sitting calendar located on the right edge of her dresser. There was a black circle around the date that he remembered very well, that it was his date of birth.

Two more days. His inner.

The actual day does not want Naya to remember, a happy day for her as well as pain because right on that day the 40th anniversary of her ummi death three years ago. Every year Naya has a birthday, ummi always takes her to an orphanage, sharing her happiness with the disadvantaged children there. Just ummi and Naya, yeah, just the two of them.

" Ummi, these three years I've been doing all of our habits alone. Ummi can still see me, right? I always remember everything ummi said on my special day ". Naya's tears finally shed without her control.

" Neng Naya ummi, grow up to be a tough but soft-hearted woman. Yes Robb, meet my Naya with someone who understands her because if she really understands the nature of my son then she will definitely love Naya wholeheartedly ". Naya recited, the words she always uttered at the time of her birthday.

" I'm even still very memorized, the tone of the ummi voice, I'm even still very clear considering every smile that ummi gave me when saying that sentence ". Naya could not hold back, she cried, sat back down to fall to the floor while both hands hugged her folded knees, hiding the face she had polished a few minutes ago, there, there, between the recesses of her crying focus. His sobbing sounded so bitter, his shoulders were shaken violently resisting the jolt of tightness coming out from within his chest.

" I am not strong.O Allah, I am not strong.. Find me with my mother.. ". He shouted, no longer caring about the presence of Vita who was still asleep in his room.

Naya was still crying, so it did not feel the watch on her left hand showed 8 o'clock exactly. He realized that he had wasted his time, slowly he removed the remaining tears on his face and tried to get up, removing the makeup that he had polished thin on his face which was now messy. After being satisfied to see his swollen face, Naya then rushed to take ablution back to perform the duha prayer. He no longer cares about breakfast and the condition of his face is now unsightly. But at the very least, his heart was now a little more relieved.

" I ask Thee, an airy heart for all the events Thou hast laid upon me, O Robb, strengthen me, lead me not to misstep. Forgive me who still often do not receive all the decrees from You, my Robb, but I know that everything that comes from You is good for me... Forgive me... Forgive me ". Naya returned to shed her tears, she cried until her face was wet.

At 09:00 Naya's phone rang. Naya who was not excited about the day, her hands moved lazily grabbed the phone that rang since earlier on the nightstand and pressed the green button the call sign was received without seeing the identity of the caller first.

" Good morning, with Mba Ainnaya? I'm a courier package from Toki, I'm going to transfer the package to Ainnaya's mba address this afternoon, it's okay. Let's go back and forth the route. Please be patient ". The voice of the package courier at the end of the phone.

" Who from sir? I didn't order anything ". Reply Naya was surprised, because she did not feel buying something this week.

" In his receipt there is no name of the sender mba, but the phone number and address is right yes on the street soka kost-an Bu Rahma ". The courier made sure that the address he was going to was correct.

" Is right. You just drop it to the keeper of the boarding house then ". Pinta Naya later, he did not want to linger talking to others now. His heart is in bad shape.

After the phone conversation with the courier was over. Naya got up and went out of the room to the pantry for breakfast. He had wanted to ignore the pain that came to ambush his stomach, but he remembered that this week there will be a follow-up exam that he had to undergo to catch up on some of his courses that were left quite far behind. Her steps came to a halt when her phone rang again. There was a hint of happiness slipping into his heart when he saw a name appear on the screen of the phone he was holding.

" Assalamu'alaikum, morning. Have you finished one course? ". The voice that Naya missed this morning, somehow she felt like she wanted Mahen to be with her now.

" Wa'alaikumussalam, I'm still at the boarding house, not yet or even so go to campus ". Answer Naya lethargic.

" you........ Naya..... take a deep breath, close your eyes. istighfar, as you used to tell me ". Mahen spoke very softly, he knew the girl had finished crying, heard from the tone of Naya's voice that was rather hoarse, interspersed with mild hiccups and discordant sounds typical of tired people after crying for a long time.

" Sister, why always know ". Naya's tears came back, this time she really felt weak. Just this time Naya was crying in front of a man even though in reality in front of her there was no figure.

" Dear. I'm there now ". It was heard by Naya the sound of the chair shifting and the rustling sound of a key that had just been picked up by the owner.

" No, no. I'm gapapa, I'm better, trust me.. ". Prevent Naya quickly so that Mahen undoes his intention to catch up with Naya.

" Want it so but I'm sure you...".

" Boss, the meeting is about to start, you're waiting in the room now ". Rey's voice behind Mahen was clearly heard by Naya.

" Sister, go, I'm a little better because Brother called, just pray I'll stand back today ". Naya gives a sincere and weak smile to her lover even though she knows Mahen can not see it now because they are talking via a regular telephone connection.

" I'll call you back soon, honey. So sorry, I'm staying at the meeting first huh, love you ".

***

Exona, Jakarta.

Mahen stared at the screen of his phone, his call being cut off unilaterally by Naya, again. This time it is not upset that he feels but the pain can not be on the side of his lover when his mood is not good. Mahen let out a long sigh.

" Rey, find out why Naya was crying like that today, she sounded so sad ". Mahen gives instructions for Rey to find out why her girl sounds desperate.

" The temple said, Vita stayed overnight in Nona's room while carrying a horror film, which she said, it seems that Miss also stayed up late boss because the temple said at 1 am still heard the sound of television from Miss's room and this morning Miss has not left the room for breakfast, boss ". Rey reported quickly.

" No it's not that, it looks like there was an event that affected her mood this morning. Order a healthy snack for Naya, drop off to where Naya is, hurry Rey and let me know every 30 minutes about her condition ". Mahen's last order to be carried out by Rey before he enters the meeting room.

" Miss... You've managed to make a bear that's hibernating, bounce back ". Rey muttered that her work doubled if her boss was panicking about everything about her.

" captive.. Vita didn't know Miss was crying this morning, but she was still there until Miss left with me for college. I'm guessing it's related to a date or event, I saw at a glance a calendar that fell under the table, Miss very neat and attentive person with all the stuff in her room, she said, if any of his items are dropped, he will immediately return to his original place. This is just my guess, I'll make sure when I go home later. Copied ". Candi reported a glimpse of her Miss this morning, although not yet detailed but this information is quite giving her an idea there.

" Ok, continue. Healthy menu for Miss already? ". Ask Rey back.

" It's capt, will be escorted to campus in 20 minutes when break matkul and another one will be delivered to work when Miss breaks later. Report completed ". Candi informs Rey by writing secretly when Naya does not see her. Candi must be smart to rotate the brain to update every news about Naya to Rey, because they often spend time together.

" Thanks Can, Take Care ". Deg deg deg deg deg, my heart, why is it so difficult to be conditioned lately, every message sent to the temple, always pounding to the tightness of taste. Rey held her left chest with her right hand, she still felt a loud thump there.

Nightfall.

Mahen was pacing around in his apartment room, he looked agitated and upset, Naya did not answer dozens of calls and dozens of messages from him since noon. He wondered if the girl was angry or doing things that were out of his mind. She is afraid even though her heart denies and believes that Naya is not a girl who is easy to despair. Rey says it's about her birthday two days ahead. Mahen understood and he had prepared a surprise for Naya there, it felt impatient to be able to see her again soon.

" Dear, I know you haven't come home from work, but I'm so scared. Reply to me as soon as you read my message ". Write mahen back, I don't know how many times he sent messages tonight.

*

" Yo Mega, are you here? ". Mega picked him up, it's not like usual, Naya sat down.

" I ran out kongkow, deliberately waiting for you to let all go home together, I bought this also for the three of us at the boarding house ". Answer Mega shows a shopping bag full of food. I was asked by Mr. Mahen to pick you up Miss, your lover is very worried at this time.

" O so, yuk go home ". Finally they both went home to the rickshaw to the boarding house because Naya claimed to be tired.

On the way back to the boarding house, Naya opened her cell phone. Lots of call notifications and messages from Mahen. There was a smile on Naya's lips as she began to read her lover's message. Naya had not yet returned a single message, a phone call coming back to her phone.

" Naya, are you ok honey? I'm afraid, where are you now? ". Although her voice remained soft but there was a worried tone in her speech.

" I'm on my way home, with Mega. Sorry was deliberately not bring the phone to the floor so that it can focus on work because there is an imlek event soon, so it was making ornaments that will be displayed starting tomorrow ". Naya explained in a soft voice, honestly today was very tiring for him but there is a heart that he must take care of there, and his heart is also in need of a booster to get back up the spirit.

" Thank God, thank God.. Careful, I'll call again when I get to the boarding house ". Mahen was relieved, his worries did not occur.

15 Minutes drive from the mall, they finally arrived at the boarding house. Naya goes straight into the room and cleans up before Mahen contacts her again. Food from Mega and Bu Rahma was already in his room with warm conditions. Looks like both of his best friends don't want to bother him tonight. Naya feels today is so pampered even though her mood is not good. As she was eating her favorite salad, her bedroom door was knocked by Ms. Rahma.

" No. There's a package this afternoon, I'm taro on a shoe rack. Don't be sad anymore, Non, I love Non Naya always ". Moments later came the sound of footsteps from my room. I'm sorry Mom, I'm tired tonight. Lirih.

After the departure of Bu Rahma, Naya opened her room door and took the package placed by Bu Rahma earlier. Out of curiosity, he immediately opened his package which turned out to be the contents............

Unanswered by his astonishment, Naya's phone has been rang back.
