At home, Maher looks frantic and looks restless because he is still thinking about the figure of the berniqab woman. Yesterday when he met the beautiful-eyed girl, his calm had not returned because it still took time to get close and get to know the beautiful-eyed girl. However, he himself was confused how to get to know the berniqab girl.
"Argh! Why does that girl always ring in my head." Maher shuffled her hair in frustration.
Even today he who should return to Jakarta also admitted not feeling well to his mother. Yes, in the end the mother who replaced him to Jakarta. He was too serious about thinking about that beautiful-eyed girl.
"Today I have to get his name. Including getting information about the girl. It's insane! I have not seen his face. But, I've been so interested in her beautiful eyes." Maher was frustrated by himself.
Not wanting to get dizzy, Maher finally grabbed his jacket and walked out of the house. This time he did not use a motorbike, but used a folding bicycle. There was just the behavior of the handsome young man in order to get close to Alinda.
"Where are you going, Den? Mamah had ordered Aden not to go anywhere," said the old woman who works at Maher's house.
"Why can't you go anywhere, Mom?" maher asked in surprise.
"Anu, Aden is not feeling well. So said the Mamah, Aden just rest at home," replied Mak Armah.
Maher seemed to gulp his saliva roughly. He remembered that he was pretending to be sick. "Oh yes, Mama. But I was bored in my room. It's getting a little better now, anyway. So, it's okay I'm out for a second, yeah." It is an alibi with a thousand alibis.
"But what if Mamah Nanyain is going to do, Den? Papah is not home either." Mak Armah looks worried.
"Don't worry. Just say Aden has improved," said Maher full of affirmation, "Oh yes, Papah where, Mak?" tanyanya.
"But if there's anything, don't mistake Mom yes, Den," stressed Mak Armah who was greeted by a nod by Maher, "Si Papah Teh is going to the next village, there are those who order vegetables for celebration he said, Den," he continued.
"Oh that's it, yeah I came out first, Mom. Mak is here, take care of the house" said Maher who then rushed on his folding bike.
Meanwhile, Alinda is currently sitting in the saung that Maher used yesterday to rest. Because the weather was so hot, Alinda chose to sit for a while and suck the mineral water she brought from home.
"I have to find a way to help my aunt. They both disagree if I sell the house left by my father and mother. So, I had to turn my brain to help the economy of aunts and mamangs" said Alinda, staring away at the yellowed rice fields.
Yes, Alinda did not know what she had to do in order to help ease the burden of her aunt and uncle. However, he will continue to try hard to think how to help his aunt with his uncle.
In the distance, Maher who was pedaling his bicycle seemed to smile widely and cheerfully when he saw the figure of a veiled woman who was sitting in a saung.
"Assyc! If the soul mate is not going where. Huhuo!" cheers Maher while pedaling his bike very quickly.
Alinda did not realize that Maher approached her on a bicycle. It made him startled when Maher suddenly stopped before him.
"Assalamu'alaikum, ukhti." Maher greeted with his greetings.
Alinda looked surprised and half-uncomprehended with the figure of a man who always seemed to want to meet him deliberately. Yes, he was intentionally.
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wa barakatuh," Alinda replied in a soft voice and almost whispered. He grabbed his drinking water and stood up.
"It just so happens that once we meet again" Maher said lightly.
Alinda rolled her eyes panted and lowered her face. "I'm sorry." After saying so, he quickly stepped his feet and ignored Maher who was smiling to look at him.
Seeing Maher's behavior, Alinda begins to get suspicious of the handsome man. He felt that Maher had deliberately set the time to meet him again. But what does that man mean? Alinda did not know at all.
"Ukhti, can we talk longer? Like the music I've been hearing all night. He was so peaceful that he filled the space in my ears" Maher said as he pedaled his bike back.
Alinda looked a little shocked and panicked as Maher asked her to speak. Especially when he realized that the man was back pedaling his bike and following him.
"Astaghfirullahaladhim's chat. What does this guy want." Alinda fizzed in the heart.
"Ukhti, yesterday I was looking for the hijab that you use in the online shopping application. But I didn't find him at all. You're lying, huh?" Maher opened his voice.
The deg!
Alinda seemed shocked when Maher accused him of lying. He stopped his steps and took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. Meanwhile, Maher seemed to smile with satisfaction and sigh. He also stopped his feet.
"When I want to give a gift to my mother. He must be very happy if I love the hijab gift like you wear," Maher said.
"I'm not lying! Not the hijab that is not in the online shopping app store. But you yourself are lying and pretending!" said Alinda who seemed to suppress every word.
Maher seemed to gasp at the words of the girl berniqab in front of him. While Alinda has now returned to step foot and impressed indifferent to the handsome man who followed her.
"Crazy! It's magical this girl. He could tell that I was just pretending" Maher said in his heart.
"I think I should speed up my footsteps. This guy was following me on purpose." Alinda spoke in her heart. He accelerated his footsteps.
"Wait, ukhti!" Maher returned to pedaling his bike and chased after Alinda who now looked half-run.
"Astaghfirullahaladhim's chat. He really followed me!" Alinda was getting panicked and tense. Although scorching and in the wind, he still ran small to quickly away from Maher.
"I want you to find the hijab for my Mom. I beg you, yes! I'm asking for help. I don't seem to understand the hijab. So, you're the only one looking for her. I'll pay three times as much" said Maher, who now appears to raise his voice.
Alinda didn't budge, she kept running and got more and more frightened. And Maher, the handsome young man continued to pursue Alinda nimbly. Like a starving lion chasing a deer.
SERIATE...
