Endless Longing
Gathering

Tomorrow morning, Taqi and Salwa depart after breakfast to the hotel where the wedding, breakfast and dinner moments they both enjoy, a place where they argue and joke, Salwa can tell her work, and the, so is Taqi.

On the way to the place of wedding, Kriing,, kriing,, hp Salwa reads,

"Hello, assalamualaikum"

"Waalaikum hail, Sal healthy? busy with weddings?"

"It's common, nemenin AA, healthy ateu?"

"Thank God be healthy, this is asking for his prayers Om Hari Sal's care"

"Innalilahi where is teu? why?"

"Udah a week ago complaining of dizziness, had finished morning prayers fainted immediately taken to IGD Harapan Kasih Hospital, now again waiting for the hospital room"

"Where is Om, already aware of you?"

"Not yet, this is infused, how's Sal's mother doing?"

"emmmh,, I haven't called Salwa yet, I'll get a word out"

"Gini Salwa is actually Om passed out shortly from your mother's phone, ateu also do not know what d obrolin, ateu phone back no mother has not been active Sal" ateu Hana was crying

"Oh so, I also have not talked to Salwa for a long time, now try Salwa contact yes teu mother, later Salwa kabarin again, ateu who in the hospital?"

"Yes sorry Salwa so ngerepotin, This is the same Ridho, happened to go home first nyiapin needs at RS"

"What's wrong, later Insya Allah Salwa to the Hospital ya nengok Om Hari"

"Yes thanks Salwa, assalamualaikum"

"greetings waalaikum"

"Why de? Om sick day?" taqi asked with a worried face

"Yes a treated, just a, Ade call mom first"

"How do you want to stop the car?"

"Do it while walking"

Om Hari is the only mother's sister, Suddenly Salwa felt so uneasy, because all this time the mother's figure always makes uncomfortable. Salwa is an only child, originally living in Bandung from birth with his mother and father, when Junior High School 2 moved to Bogor picked up om Hari. Since then om Hari and Ateu Hana became the guardian of Salwa. Om and Ateu have 3 children under Salwa, Sani, Raihan and Ridho. Not wanting to be a burden, finally Salwa continued to study at the college bond with scholarships majoring in accounting. Stupid with a Taqi was all arranged by Ateu Hana and his son Sani was Taqi's coworker.

Several times Salwa contacted no. The mother was still inactive. Taqi noticed that Salwa was beginning to fidget, she rubbed Salwa's head and shoulders trying to calm down, since connecting with her in-laws must have made Salwa hurt. Salwa glanced at Taqi and smiled "why a?" ask Salwa

"engga, see you're nervous so worried, call mom hard?"

"yes, the number is not active"

"yes later also active, why nelfon mom de?" tanya Taqi, because after all, Salwa's mother had never been to Bogor or contact Salwa except urgent.

"hmmm, want to tell your mother" said Salwa did not want to add to Taqi's mind

"later also active de, mother is that, we go to the mini market first yes, what do you want to titip de?"

"hmm what yes, how aye". They also park in the nearest mini market.

Taqi knew Salwa was thinking about her mother, maybe something happened. In order not to think too much about Taqi buying Salwa's favorite coffee and drinks. From the first to know him, Taqi memorized all Salwa's favorite foods and drinks, because if Salwa already likes it never change or try. While queuing at the cashier Taqi glanced at Salwa in the car, seen still trying to call her mother. Seeing Salwa busy with her HP reminded Taqi when he first met Salwa.

Early met Salwa when stopping by Sani's house to bring a portfolio of designs that must be presented, but Sani could not attend because of illness. Taqi mistook Salwa for Sani's sister. From the beginning of the meeting, Taqi was interested in Salwa, that time was Saturday, still clear Taqi's memory of meeting

...******...

TWO YEARS EARLIER

There was a knock at the door

"Yes for a moment" answered Salwa

"Assalamualaikum" Taqi said

"Waalaikum greetings, friend Sani huh?" greeting Salwa, Taqi was fascinated with Salwa's sweet face, thin lips, round eyes and a petite nose like her body

"oohhh, Yes, let me introduce Taqi to take a portfolio of designs, he said Sani is sick"

"Yes Ka Taqi is now going to the doctor, please come in first let me bring you"

"No coincidence in a hurry to continue the meeting"

"Oh well awaited ya ka"

Taqi noticed Salwa's departure, sweet and friendly to Kaka, she said with a smile. Before long Salwa came up with her portfolio of designs,

"This is ka, there's a message from Sani,,,"

"the message is definitely design already details should not be changed huh?!"

"oh yeah, Sani must have called Kaka"

"engga is a habit of being authoritarian, patient who is Sani's sister" Taqi joked

"sorry, I'm Sani's cousin" Salwa replied with a smile

"oh sorry that his sister looks younger than Sani, lives here?"

"yes, it just so happens that SMP is here"

"oh this is the same Salwa, isn't it?! Sani ever tell me about you, again on holiday?"

"yes to ka"

"what work?"

"i am the auditor"

"oh yes must go to the meeting to know my greetings Taqi, pangil AA aja do not Kaka assalamualaikum"

"greetings waalaikum"

Taqi never expected to meet Salwa, still recalling Sani's conversation two days earlier in the office

...*******...

"okay when?"

"yes in about 4-5 months"

"sama Aldo?"

"who else is the same?"

"wuiiih steady sampe pelaminan also nih child"

"haha why envy ya Qi, so wedding really dong do not WO aja taken care of"

"yes there is no match for cariin dong!!! what month is what day what date"

"the date will be a definite day Saturday or Sunday, the date is still waiting for news from the building"

"how can you?"

"yes, the date is soon San"

"uhhh really you ask for a soul mate with me?" ask Sani

"maybe, I'm lazy to date there's no time"

"yes it's weekday work weekend also your work is full"

"yes, find a mate who can accept my condition San, ga bawel ga ga like angry like you, patient understanding thankfulness-graceful beautiful"

"that's you'll be happy"

"yes, how else, I'm out of condition like gini"

Suddenly hp Sani rang, apparently Salwa who called, Sani hardened the sound hp because the stage again made the design

"How about sal?"

"Assalamualaikum San, still overtime?"

"yes, why mama nanyain?"

"we haven't eaten together in a long time"

"the auditor has gone home"

"hehe Alhamdulillah again not much work"

"eat first, Sal, want to finish the design so that the chepet goes home"

"okay assalamualaikum Sani"

"yuuu"

"hey is his greeting answered try" Taqi said

"uh huh?! nguping huh?"

"why not? your sister?"

"salwa is a cousin who lives at home. oh would you like Salwa Qi?! she's the kind of girl who is calm, even rarely really angry or baffled, fit with you, she's older a year with me"

"hmmm" Taqi replied

Taqi used to not pay much heed to Sani's talk, but now what needs to be promoted yes, ah but it will be Sani's marriage proposal, yes later, Taqi murmured.

...*******...

Furthermore, meetings between Taqi and Salwa began to occur frequently due to Sani's wedding preparations. Sani's engagement, Salwa helped with the decoration and preparing souvenirs, Afi was greatly helped because of the presence of Salwa. His help continued until Sani's recitation and marriage. There was an embarrassing incident on Sani's wedding day, as usual Taqi went into the building and checked everything, during the meeting. Come Salwa wearing a wedding family uniform that has been done, without realizing it

"Subhanallah Salwa you are very beautiful" Taqi said suddenly with a loud voice

Salwa immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, and spatteredly sat down beside Afi

"cieee cieee Abah was blown away" led her WO crew

"let's get started" Taqi replied

"teh like Abah likes it the same" Afi whispered

"ahh all girls if dressed are also beautiful fi"

"hmmm but Abah is different because the new tea is now nervous to see girls, usually cuek aja" Salwa was smiling and did not respond too much.

Taqi tried to hide his embarrassment. But indeed Salwa is different from the others, the more Taqi pays attention to him, the more clear that Salwa is good, patient never fuss, especially regarding Sani and his family, Salwa is always ahead. Between Sani and Salwa is more beautiful Sani, but looking at Salwa's face never bored. He always smiles, but if approached very difficult, predicted Taqi Salwa single. While arranging WO as a field coordinator many times Taqi saw Salwa, somehow the idea of matchmaking from Sani was increasingly imagined. How yes, my age next month 28 years, Duh why so think gini age, and why thinking of same-sex marriage he haduuh.

"we eat first" said Salwa,

duh who is thought to come, make a gurgle said Taqi in the heart

"ehh Sal yes, later this gig"

"yes this Salwa bawain baso tofu from the stand, all of you brought it for om and ateu"

"wuaah thank you very much, it's good that you want to say the same ateu who have the same wishes usually eat last aja" said Taqi while devouring baso tofu from Salwa "have eaten?" tanya Taqi felt bad, so hungry Taqi immediately ate but forgot the same Salwa.

"yet"

"yeah why don't you eat?"

Suddenly, Afi came

"bah eat first gih, in take over the same Edi bah, kasian was also Abah ga sepet breakfast. Sal temenin Abah yes" Afi said as he winked at Taqi.

"nitip yes, yuk Sal we eat, do not queue later Taqi bring the committee rations from catering"

"oh yes ka" Salwa replied as she followed Taqi.
