The Energy Of Love 2
The Wrong Feelings (?)


Once I was really in love. But why does falling in love lead to girls of different beliefs? Is this what you call a wrong feeling?


***


Bryan in front of Cathedral Church (The Cathedral Church of St. Jameso). His heart was electrocuted. Seeing Anna worshiping in the church, made her have to accept the reality. The seed of love begins to grow in the heart. But in reality, faith is very different.


Bryan's presence in front of the church, not empty-handed. The right hand was carrying a large paper bag containing his coffee products. Far away from Semarang, Bryan wanted to give coffee products directly to Anna. Anna didn't ask for it.


The church bell rang out. Bryan's gaze focused on a brunette girl unraveling. The former Bryan was hard to be attracted to women. All her life, only Anna was able to break down the difficult feeling of being attracted to girls.


Anna turned around, the brown hair fluttering in the wind. His charm was able to make Bryan's heart beat in awe. From a distance, Anna is consciously noticed by Bryan. While Fira's younger brother is misbehaving. Bryan turned his body.


Anna was delighted with Bryan. Along the corridors of the church he continued to run while carrying bags and books. The girl clad in a brown and white box blazer arrived behind Bryan.


"Hi, Bryan, what are you doing here?" greet Anna. (Hi, Bryan, what are you doing here?)


Bryan was still looking at Anna. Both of his shoulders go up and down like his breathing is blooming. Because Bryan never turned around, Anna then stood in front of Bryan.


"Are you okay, Bryan?" ask Anna. (Are you okay, Bryan?)


"Eh, I-I'm okay. I'm here for you. I mean, I bring your favorite coffee product" Bryan said. (Eh, I-I'm fine. I'm here for you. I mean, I brought your favorite coffee product.)


"But, I didn't order coffee products from you. And how do you know I'm in church?" (But, I didn't order any coffee products from you. And how do you know I'm in church?)


"I know you're in the church from your Mama. I had time to stop by your house, hehehe." (I know you're in church from your mama. I stopped by your house, hehehe.)


"Who gave you my address?" (Who gave you my address?)


"Henry, hehehe." Bryan scratched his nape due to the wrong behavior towards Anna.


"Is Henry here with you?" (Is Henry here with you?)


"Henry was here because he agreed the inauguration of the Excellent Advertising Company. He was not alone, there was Kak Fira who accompanied Henry." (Henry is here for attending the inauguration event of the Excellent Advertising Company. He was not alone, there was Brother Fira who accompanied Henry.)


"Oh, yeah, Henry's really in charge of the company that's now his. Ah, maybe my dad's there."


"From now on why speak Indonesian, my tongue is sore," Bryan murmured and said, "yes, it seems so."


Bryan gave Anna a large paper bag containing the coffee product. Anna was overjoyed to receive a gift from Bryan. A pair of brown eyes sparkled when looking at the contents of the paper bag. After that, the second step left the church.


Anna took Bryan on foot. Enjoy the summer in this maple leaf country. I don't know who started first? Both look great in conversation. Bryan shaded to see Anna, his longing as if treated for meeting Anna. While Anna kept raving about this city of her birth.


"So you're really Canadian?" ask Bryan.


"Yes, right, I was born and raised here. Uh, sorry, the language is so I'm gini," replied Anna.


"Hehehe, no problem. You and I are getting closer" Bryan said.


"I'm fluent in Indonesian because at Harvard I met friends from Indonesia. I like Indonesians, ", Anna said.


"If you like me, don't you?" bryan muttered.


"I'm sorry if I trouble you. So you brought me coffee products."


"Oh, I don't feel bothered. I'm just glad to see you again."


"What do you mean?" Anna frowned.


The prayer came from the Toronto Mosque @ Adelaide. Bryan stopped his steps. This man listened to the Adhan while muttering to answer the chant of the Adhan. Anna's steps also stopped. As if there was a cooling breeze, Anna was amazed to see Bryan who was closing his eyes while answering Adhan.


***


Two different people from this country arrived in front of the Toronto Mosque @ Adelaide. Bryan first took off two shoes before entering the mosque. Anna stood in her place. Given Bryan who took the time to wait for her in front of the church, Anna felt like she wanted to repay Bryan by waiting for the man in front of the mosque.


"Are you okay waiting here?" ask Bryan.


"But the weather is quite hot. You'll be hot."


"That's no problem for me. Go inside the mosque, I stay here."


Bryan nodded. He along with other male worshipers headed to the place of special wudu men. Just a few minutes after the wudu, Bryan rushed into the mosque. Anna saw Bryan from afar, the man grabbed his hair so it looked charming. Plus the rest of the water that dripped from his hair to his face. Anna blinked once in a while, unwittingly mesmerized by Bryan's charm.


While waiting for the imam to pray, Bryan sat down cross-legged while reciting to Allah with his fingers. There are already some Muslims and Muslim women who are in the mosque to perform Dzuhur congregational prayers. The congregation there is not only from local people, some are present from other countries.


As Bryan drifted in glorifying the greatness of God, a young man working in a Turkish restaurant patted Bryan on the shoulder. Bryan gasped with a pat on his shoulder. Bryan turned his head sharply to the young man. The young man smiled at him. Really Bryan was still upset by the attitude of the young man beside him who was this pretentious.


"The same thing yesterday was his friends at the restaurant, huh?" tanyakanya.


"Did, you know. It wasn't my friends, but my brother and sister-in-law" Bryan replied with a sneer.


"Oh, I don't know."


"What are you doing here? You're stalking me, aren't you?"


With a grinning laugh, the young man's gaze was sunken. "The person is also pretentious. I also pray here dong. By the way, whose name is it?"


"Why ask my name?"


"Make friends from Indonesia. My name is Lucky Ramansyah, who loves singing."


"Eh-eh, cute that's enough of me. You are amit-amit. Oh, that last night you and your band were singing in the town square."


"Do you know, Mommy? Follow me, huh?"


"That's not so!"


Bryan is out of Lucky. Move to saf salat. The muezzin now proclaims the iqamah, a sign of prayer will soon be established. After iqamah, the imam of the mosque noticed the saf salat of the male worshippers. The middle-aged man with a white beard directed the male pilgrims to tidy up the saf salat. Saf prayers of male and female pilgrims are neatly arranged. The imam of the mosque turned his body to lead the Dzuhur prayer.


A few minutes later, the worshipers had performed the Dzuhur prayer. Bryan had not yet moved from sitting. He still thinks of God. Praying forgiveness for Allah and praising Allah's Asthma. With dhikr, his heart felt cool and serene from anxiety.


The age of paying dhikr to God, Bryan immediately recalled the words of Henry, Ratih, especially Fatih, his father. The advice from Fatih was quite striking in Bryan's heart. Bryan realized of course parents want their children to match with the same soul mate. Bryan worried about sticking with his feelings of falling in love with Anna or ending those feelings?


"You're I'm wis gede. Nih, rungoke Father, not kandani, any parent must want anake match with sing seiman. If it's different religion, it's tough, Bry. Mbok, yes, you think mature again. Ojo ngutamake napsumu, ojo bucin too. Remember the Gusti of God," said Fatih. (You are an adult. Here, listen to the Father, want to say, any parent would want his child to match with the same faith. If it's different religion, it's hard, Bry. Mbok, yes, you think mature again. Don't give priority to your naps, don't wash them either. Remember the Gusti Allah.)


"If you're just friends with that girl, yeah, nothing. But, if to be a companion to life, yes, you should undo that intention."


Fatih's words were ringing in Bryan's head. Bryan took a deep breath then exhaled violently. Pilu is right his heart. If Bryan had to try to turn his back on Anna by liking other girls - of course, it would be difficult. During these twenty-six years, the girl that attracted him the first time was Anna.


"It seems like Anna and I are better friends. It would be nice for me to keep this feeling in my heart. Anna doesn't need to know about my feelings. If you know, fortunately if he rejects me, yes, even though I risk heartbreak. Well, if he accepts my love? Haaahhh, have business," Bryan said.


"Once I'm really in love. But why does falling in love lead to girls of different beliefs? Is this what you call a wrong feeling?" continued.


Bryan out of the mosque. The round eyes with black eye seeds were cold to see Anna's sweet smile. Bryan became uneasy at Anna who was already deigned to wait for him in front of the mosque. The man clad in a moss-green sweater rushed to wear two shoes. He immediately approached the girl of his tribe.


"Are you tired?" ask Bryan.


"Absolutely not. I'm glad to see you and them worshiping in the mosque. It feels cool to the eyes" replied Anna.


"This summer makes the throat dry. Would you like a drink with me at the cafe?"


"Hmm, or should we just drink Coffee Ice in my house? What say?"


"I'll come, hehehe."


"My family would love it if they met a Coffee Shop owner like you. Okay, now we'll get a cab."


"Meeting you is enough to make me happy. I can be this close to you, but it doesn't seem to be with my heart to be one with yours." Bryan muttered bitterly. Bryan's pretty eyes, it's a good thing Anna didn't see it. Anna was looking for a taxi on the street.
