In the Name of a Mate
Chapter 17: Enough of one forever

Memories, a series of events that have passed and are stored tightly in memory and the heart. A story of the past that was once engraved with someone, filled with jokes and laughter. The name of the memory has certainly passed and may not be repeated with the same person. Creator created people with different traits and characters, therefore humans have different memories with different people.

Beautiful memories will continue to be stored neatly in memory to leave longs when the place and time are almost similar now. Even more painful when longing so deep but destiny is not in line to stay together. That was what Naufal felt, as soon as he entered the room that became a silent witness of how his wife grew from small to enter adulthood

The room is full of memories, on the wall is still displayed photos from the red and white period to college, at each end of the frame with a small paper inscribed with the date and events what happened

A sentence in one of Aqila's photos with her before getting engaged to a twilight background on the beach became the object of Naufal's attention

"You're such a beautiful rainbow, but unfortunately fate is like waking up that a rainbow can't last forever"

Naufal twisted memories of the time, they were almost together, but he was in an accident. Then time separated them for five years

"The rainbow still has Qil, because part of your soul is already on me" Naufal rubbed a photo decades ago framed it. Sometimes the moon is always his cry when night comes

The sound of an open door diverted his attention. Naufal looked at someone who had just opened the door. A middle-aged man who has entrusted his daughter to him for life. No, or rather when death picked him up because he left first

"Why do you need anything?" Naufal asked as Papa Arya sat on the bed, he approached and sat next to her

"Did you miss him?" Papa Arya did not not see what happened earlier, even though he already knew what answer he would hear, he still asked the question

"Of course, I will always miss him" answered Naufal according to how he felt, longing always comes every time, even a few days after the departure of Aqila used to call him because he was used to his presence

"It may be hard for you to educate them now, don't you want to need a companion?"

"Did papa allow it?"

"There really is?" Of course Papa Arya was surprised to hear it

"Nothing and never will be. If you're proposing that why are you surprised?" Naufal laughed a little at that. He could see the shock on the face that was starting to fill with wrinkles

"Papa just asked, you might be lonely if you're alone"

"No, I would feel so hurt and lonely doing that. I feel like I'm committing treason to my heart, especially the children will definitely be very disappointed because of this. I'm used to educating them from childhood, starting from guiding them, advising the good and the right, then it's time I just keep an eye on them in an effort to find their identity and companion"

"Have your heart never been interested in anything else?"

"Never, my heart has gone, I will not replace it with a new one, but will wait for time to follow and unite in a place that will be forever with him" Naufal replied with confidence

"I'm proud of your love for my daughter, she must be so happy there to hear this"

"I know, he'd be happy if the rain kept getting coloured"

While not far from the room, Layla tried to answer as many questions as Zara could about Qais. He actually does not know how to answer again, because the average content is a recurring question. The point is about how Qais figures

"But why did Brother Yusuf tell me to stay away?"

"Kan Kak Yusuf said he already had a woman he liked, so Brother Yusuf must be afraid that Brother Zara is hurt"

"But not necessarily Qais already had the woman" Layla so relieved, it is impossible if he answered it himself, afraid to be considered too confident or make Zara even hurt

"But who is it?" Zara could only guess by herself

With the thick of the night that collides with the cold of the cold, especially the smell of wet soil due to rain gives off a distinctive aroma, quite soothing in the sense of smell of a man who is now seeing something on his cellphone

"You can have fun first, wait a while and then get ready because the angel of death is waiting for you" the man smiled slantedly at the sight of someone in his work suit appearing in a video shaking hands with a foreign investor

"Given clearly how you cruelly saw the blood dripping with no guilt at all" he rubbed the tip of the gun he just pulled out of his pants pocket

"This gun of the same kind that you use, I'll use it for you too. Isn't that fair?" He muttered softly with a grin rising from his lips

"Qais!" the man immediately put the gun he was holding into his pants pocket. He snorted to see who opened the door without knocking first, indeed he was also wrong because he forgot to lock it

"Why Brother? It's a shame, I'm sleepy" Kenzo snorted at his sister's answer

"If you're sleepy there's no way you're still sitting on the balcony like that"

"Why? Any more problems?"

"Sister's asking you that now. You got a problem anyway? Brother can call from a lecturer who taught one of matkul, he said you never came and it's just matkul him alone"

"Who? The bald?" Qais asked back casually, without sounding a tone of fear though

"He's your lecturer, who taught you, polite little why the hell? She has a problem with you?"

"Ask the same kid who likes the centile, I don't like his son"

"What is the relationship between the teachers?" Kenzo was anxious to hear the reason he thought was absurd

"He always thought his daughter was right, he never wanted her to be wrong. He chose the love of his students. She always denied that her daughter was a bully"

"Qais, this is the same thing with her daughter. You go to college and learn a quiet course, let someone help you to manage this business, it feels like brother so twice as fast if you like gini" Kenzo to rub his hair rough. It was clearly a dark circle under his eyes

"That's why don't be grazed"

"You want us to go bankrupt? You have no capital to marry someone's child later" joked Kenzo

"If I marry you soon, how will you?" Qais instead took his brother's joke seriously

"Do you have a candidate?, Brother, the horror of your friend's gossip, he said you never want to be close to women"

"It's precisely because I have that's why I don't want to deket each other"

"Who?"

"Sister also knows, his father is very familiar"
