I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 11.17)
He had grimaced with pain and even I had seen him holding his knee because he could not bear to feel the stimulation of pain.
"It's not serious, it's just a small wound." He's clearly lying.
"Then get some rest here. If you feel better, Ustad should leave immediately so as not to cause slander."
I wanted to turn back to my bed but Ustad Azam called me not to go.
"Don't go, sit here and let's talk about our relationship."
Ah, why would he want to talk about this matter at such an inopportune time? I no longer have the courage to face him.
"No way, I'm afraid someone's coming and thinking something about the two of us."
"We don't need to worry, Ustad Vano has already isolated this floor so no one dares to climb up here."
Ah, is this just a coincidence?
I hear that the second floor is always open for men when our curfew is up.
"Sit down, we better take advantage of this time to solve the problem of misunderstandings that occur between us."
I'm so nervous. I wanted to go but my heart refused to go away because I still loved her very much. Then, if all the misunderstandings are cleared up, can we go back to continuing this relationship?
"We can talk about tomorrow." Because I'm so embarrassed to face him right now.
"Faster is better." He obviously rejected my advice.
"Well.all right." I had to sit on the floor a distance further than before. But we can still hear each other from a distance so far.
"I've heard it all."
"I know." That's why I don't dare to look at you!
"First, I never broke off our engagement. Your parents suddenly came to my house and talked to my parents. They say you want to end our engagement because you want to focus on school first and don't want to think about love before you really grow up. I initially refused their request because even though we were engaged we had never met since I went to the cottage. But they insist on deciding on the grounds this is a direct request from you. I'm disappointed, forced to grant their request on condition that you go here."
What the hell is going on here?
"Mega, this is the truth. I never wanted to cancel our engagement, but it was you, your parents said that you were the one who wanted to cancel our engagement. At that time I was very angry but could not reach you even though I called many times. Not even the messages I sent were any that you replied to. Are all your actions fair to me?" His tone was slightly higher, he was unlike the Ustad Azam I had always seen.
But what he said about me was completely untrue. I never asked my parents for that ridiculous request and I never even thought I would break off my engagement to Ustad Azam, my first love!
"This is not true, what Ustad said is very contrary to what I experienced. That day, my parents suddenly came home with sour faces. They said that Ustad himself wanted to break off our engagement because Ustad wanted to focus on studying first. Mama and Papa told me that so how could they have said different things to, Ustad?"
I really don't understand this.
"I don't know either but by Allah, everything I say is true, Mega. If you don't believe me, ask my parents." He's very serious.
"If what Ustad Azam said was true then why is there a photo of Kak Sasa on the phone, Ustad?"
He couldn't argue about this picture because I saw it with my own two eyes.
"Sasa, is it wrong to keep a photo of your own sister?
Huh, sister?
How-may-ah, Sasa..Arumi Sasaqila?
Is he. Arumi?
"I mean Ustad, he's Arumi?"
"Yes, who else if not him."
Oh my God, I was in shock!
How could I not realize that Sasa was Arumi, the younger brother of Ustad Azam who had been going to mondok following Ustad Azam for years.
