In the Name of a Mate

In the Name of a Mate
Chapter 32: Unfast


As quickly as time went by, like a gust of wind, day and night like the blink of an eye that passed, a month of marriage and somehow Layla felt their relationship was not getting closer but as if it were getting farther away. Between him and Qais it was as if there was an invisible wall holding back to stay in each other's positions without coming towards each other


"Where's Qais from?" The man had just returned home from the morning when the magrib adhan finished his reverberation a few minutes ago


"From a friend's house"


"Kak Qais has prayed magrib?" Qais's movement that was about to open the door of the room came to a halt because of the question


"Why not yet?"


"We can worship together if Kak Qais has not prayed" Layla replied, somehow he felt that Qais seemed a little offended by his question


"Udah was" Qais replied after that, entering and closing the door. Leaving Layla with a million complicated thoughts raging in her head


.


"You're down at the station again?" Just setting foot in front of the engineering faculty, the question had already welcomed him from Nessi


"Yes"


"Why? Though what is the difficulty anyway ask usherin to the parking lot? Do you want to sell?" Nessi asked with a waistline


"So you want me to be bullied here for being close to their idol?"


"Unfortunately you're not jealous, your husband looks at them?"


"Ness, you obviously know how the story goes until we get married" Layla replied with a sigh


"I can't believe that until now there's no feeling" Layla shut up and sighed. I don't know if he's confused himself, too


The wind that blew was soothing in the midst of the hot sun. The sound of the horn in the red light also witnesses how the heat today to affect the mood of people there. Sahutan klaxon became a sign of how hot their mood at that time


"Assalamu'alaikum Ila"


"Wa'alaikumussalam Kak Zain" Layla looked up at the man. The man who was once part of his heart


"It's really hot today" Layla just replied with deheman


"Are you waiting for someone?"


"Yes, wait for Nessi. We have an appointment to do the job together"


"Now you're the same Bilal never looked at the cottage"


"When we went to college, we were busy with the same task. So there's rarely time" actually, that's not Layla's main reason now. But because his relationship with Yasmin is still fairly not okay


"So can't you nitip something like you?" Layla slightly furrowed her brows then nodded towards the man


"Please give it back to Yasmin" Zain pulled out a beautiful white tasbih from his bag


"Revert it?" Layla asked confusedly. He thought this thing belonged to Zain because he often saw the man wearing it in the ponpes


"Since the beginning of my purchase, my intention was that this thing belonged to Yasmin. So now I'm giving it back to the owner so that I don't keep on being imagined, because I realize it's not me she's expecting" Layla is only able to hear without responding, because honestly he was confused what to say to this man.


"What kind of priest do you think women want to guide them?"


"Every woman must want a priest who can guide her in terms of religion or build a household" Layla said confidently


"Do you think Qais can?"


"Because the man Yasmin liked was Qais" Zain replied as he realized Layla was confused by her question


"Why did Brother Zain ask about that, did Brother Zain think better than Kak Qais?" I don't know why Layla was offended to hear that. Thinking about yourself better than others is not a behavior you like. Not everything can be judged by appearance, including humans


"If based on your answer, I think you know. Qais, the man is the head of a motorcycle gang that hobbies brawl and racing. Even..."


"Enough" Layla paused the man's speech


"I think Kak Zain has not practiced the knowledge gained in ponpes. It should be before judging others Kak Zain also knows that we should not judge just from appearance. Who can judge humans? While we are not necessarily good in front of the God who created"


.


"Every woman would want a priest who can guide her either in terms of religion or fostering a household"


"AKHMU"


Qais sat down and cried out in frustration as the sentence continued to hang in his head. Why is it becoming like this now? Confused by his own choices. He saw Layla talking to the man at the park, when he was about to go over, the sentence was actually heard coming out of Layla's mouth. Make him draw his own conclusions


Qais held his head which pulsed the dizzy effects of alcohol. The sound of music around him makes him dizzy. In this way, he hopes to forget the problem even for a moment


"YOU'RE CRAZY!" Rio came and directly kicked down the table where Qais cupped his head. He called the man and was picked up by Qais. But there was no answer, he only heard a noise until he knew where the man should be


"I want it, even to the point of praying to God. Why am I becoming like this now? I felt unworthy of him at all" Qais said. But Rio knew that Qais was letting out his heart


"Newly aware now? What are your thoughts and thoughts?"


"I love him but I don't feel like I deserve to be loved by him"


"I felt she was too kind and depressed with me"


"I feel..."


"That's just what you feel!, you haven't asked what she feels" the press of Rio looked at the man. It was frustrating to see Qais like this


"Do I need to ask? If the answer is certain" again Qais chuckled like a madman


"You are not a person who can hear your inner voice, you only judge from your view. Ask him how he feels? Do you think with you staying away she'll be okay? Huh uh?!"


"I'm not away"


"Then what's this name? Go early in the morning to campus and come home at sunset. After that go again at midnight, try you think he's not hurt to see you like gini?"


"Go home and talk to him. Don't be a coward who runs away from kayak gini problems" he said trying to lift Qais' body to stand up


"You just make your problems more complicated and make him more disappointed with you"


"From the beginning he may have been disappointed with the fate of choosing me as a couple" Qais chuckled


Rio didn't care about the concoction, he put Qais' hand on his shoulder and led the man out


"BUGH" had not reached the door, a man suddenly threw a punch at Qais to make the man fall because Rio was not ready to hold his body weight
