Endless Longing
Someone who hears

Before long Taqi came up with two consumption boxes from catering, then they sat in the cosmetology room to make it more comfortable to eat them.

"how's wedding?" ask Taqi

"good you, I don't really understand the event, but from a smooth event with a very steady timing"

"want to join Sal's crew? you're so painstaking about Afi losing"

"haha, Alhamdulillah if I work kepake ka, but in the office full nih, a lot of overtime is afraid not to back up"

"where is the auditor?" ask Taqi

"at PT INVESTAMA"

"it's been working there for a long time"

"from college 5 years"

"ohh, same Taqi also in The Rains Design from graduating college has not moved around"

"Sani is also the same, meaning it has been a long time with Sani"

"iya haha, from the beginning very polite tuh son, now wuaaahh already dare he is the same senior"

"hehehehe nice means ka, good senior Kaka, I've tried many years of seniority is still thick"

"hehe, but all these years with Sani, you know Sal" Salwa just smiled

"Sani and I are an alma mater after college" continued Taqi "so Deket already that, already know, let alone Aldo is the same age as me"

"ooohh means you were studying in UK Jakarta?"

"Yeah, I'm back Bogor work here if Aldo he stays in Jakarta until now, great they can get married gini haha"

"yes, their relationship is turned upside down?"

"well hahaha, Aldo likes the same story Taqi"

"wuaaah Sani also confided to Salwa, Ampe dizzy with his horror"

"iyaa there is aja they, break up, drama LDR an hadeuuuh ribetnya, so see Aldo dating aja dizzy, Taqi choose singles deh"

"oohhh, you know, Taqi didn't have a girlfriend yet?!" ledek Salwa's

"yet, Deket a lot, just a storm gtu gtu lho Sal, males deh. Salwa when is marriage? don't forget the WO uses the Taqi yes"

"hahahaha, there's no ka yet"

"do you have a boyfriend yet?"

"never been"

"ahhh time?! but Deket exists, right? who likes?"

"yes is ka, just that secret admirer"

"cieee secret everything, office temen?"

"all right, back in college, he's in Riau now PNS"

"why aren't you chasing Sal?"

"embarrassed ka hahaha, but he married again, married same-year friends also on campus"

"yes, my heart is broken"

"you know, time has never been Deket Same guy?" tanya Taqi was curious

"this is Deket ka, normal right?! hahaha" joked Salwa while pointing towards the two of them

"opening, do you mean Taqi has nothing else to do?!"

"the Deket a lot, ka Taqi kept a few coworkers who were one part, yes Deket ordinary aja ka"

"there's nothing special about that"

"martabak kali hahaha"

While eating, they continued chatting, Taqi was finally able to confirm that Salwa had no relationship with anyone. Just confirm to Sani to finish the show later, Taqi thought. He had to thank Afi who helped him now so he could chat a lot with Salwa. Now Taqi needs to know Salwa's parents, how to get started there. Suddenly,

"Dho haiii" called Salwa as he waved his hand at Ridho, Sani's youngest brother

"hhh Salwa tea sought after from earlier"

"yes always eat here find a cool with ka Taqi, what's up Dho"

"there's wa Asti tea" Ridho said

"hhhh, is mom coming?" ask Salwa

"yes, just finish first, Ridho to the building yes"

Kriing,, kriing,, ringing hp Salwa

"Assalamualaikum ma'am, where? how to go to Bogor now? even though Salwa already wants to pick up mother kemaaren"

"Yes de, sorry mom took care of a lot of this mom already in your building where?"

"again eat ma'am in the makeup room, I want to come here?"

"ohh that way, I want to see you Hari first" replied the mother

"well, Salwa to mommy's later"

"Your mother Sal?" tanya Taqi was curious, for months taking care of Sani's wedding only this time Taqi knew that Salwa's mother existed. Taqi Salwa is an orphan.

"iya ka mother in Bandung, also from a small time I lived there, class 2 Junior High just moved here"

"oooh, if you also d Bandung?" ask Taqi

"emmhhh, so gini ka, my mother's father divorced during Junior High, the case is quite strange. Finally you leave me on om Hari, because you go straight back to Java, to his family home in Semarang"

"ooh, just heard Sal, sorry"

"yes you ain't nothing, Salwa ain't never told anyone. My family has never discussed my problems with their children. That's why being a parent to me, staying with them every day and never discussing my mother made me so grateful, so it's a burden. If you discuss the issue of Ortu, only three between om, atheu and me"

Taqi nodded and smiled "great you Sal can be tough"

"excuse me ya ka so many stories gini hehe" replied Salwa while looking down

"it's okay, you can trust me. But sorry it's not long time Sal, later if you relax I'll be there for you"

"iya sorry ya ka, just flow the story directly maybe because the atmosphere is good"

"yes no matter what, Ayuk we go to the building" Taqi asked as she moved and rubbed Salwa's head.

Warm, that was Salwa's first impression on Taqi. Ahhh stupid me, why is this time so a story of someone I just knew a few months ago. But justinlah, after the wedding Sani will rarely meet again the same ka Taqi. Think of the wind and then hehehe. Salwa comforts herself.

Without feeling, the burden on him slightly reduced. Maybe this is what I need, someone who wants to hear my heart. Ahhh misses so much. Without feeling any tears welled up in the corner of Salwa's eyes. Perih and tired of the loneliness that is always there in his heart increasingly felt. During this time Salwa did not have someone to share the story and so on, because Salwa was difficult to get along with. His close friends from SD until now can only be counted fingers. Very different from Sani, Sani and Salwa are indeed close. Salwa has always been Sani's place of confidement, but Sani never forced Salwa to tell stories. What Sani always did when his mother's father chatted with Salwa was to hug Salwa in the room, yes they were roommates from Junior High School. After the hug Salwa must have cried herself to sleep. And the next day Sani never asks why Salwa is crying. Sani's treatment was invaluable to Salwa, and now that Sani is married he feels lost.
