Halalku Waiting
The Part 18

Arfan POVs

"Hoamm" I just woke up from sleep after coming from Cairo last night, I feel like my body is still tired, but today I have to go with Anna, because today Anna's taking me to her best friend's wedding.

After we finished leaving, but what I am confused about at this time..Why my family also come? Were they invited? I don't know! 

A few hours waiting for us to arrive. Right now I'm at a wedding of Anna's best friend, I don't know her, which Anna must have forced me to go to this wedding. After returning home from Cairo, he is shocked by Anna's coercion to keep him company wherever he goes. Strange this child_in me.

Flashbacks

"Abaanggg, Anna tomorrow is proud...Anna wants to go to Anna's friend's house, yes yes yes, want yaaaa.. please" she said to weld in front of me with her cute face.

"Iiisss Anna why would you try that there?? tuh Fitri will be there, take him away.."my sergeant.

"Eee, this brother, how about you!! people are invited all too, our families come there, later you also know who.so you have to come, period!! Anna doesn't want to hear rejection again okay!! The cerocos.

After saying those words, it immediately passed leaving me who was still confused.

Flashback off

"Anna, Arfan, Ummi same Abi want to go in first yes, can't wait to see Rahma this..." Ummi Anna.

"Yes Ummi" we said, then Ummi passed into the house of the bride, I have been used to call her Ummi because that was her request when I was a child. 

I was really confused by all this how could it be so ummi familiar with Anna's best friend's mother, what is the relationship? And even more confusing all my family came to this event, ah errata! Not all of them are just some of Abi and his ummi Anna, and also Fitri and Aunt and om.

"Bang inget you know, you have to follow Anna, no fear of rejection anyway!!! Ayo..."

Not to mention that I said, he first pulled my hand, I was forced to just follow from behind.

"Where's Anna?? My toot.

"Iiisss This brother asked a lot, do not ask napa.."cerocosnya.

"You're this deck of habits never lost in the past." My hand even while ruffling his head

"IIii Brother!! It will fall apart." he said kesel.

I have considered Anna as my own sister, although she is my cousin, but I am also her half-brother, it was when Ummi and Abi went to Umrah when I was a child that Ummi left me to his parents Anna. And at that time they did not feel the heart to see me who continued to cry, even though Ummi had already tasted me with formula milk that would be my food at that time, he said, but it turns out that I refused to drink it. And be Ummi Anna who gave Asi to me.

"Ee Brother, let's follow Anna..." Sneaky.

"Yes dekk...."

Then I walked with Anna, but I was confused why come here, second floor why?_inner.

"Anna's...

Haven't had time to continue the next word until Anna cut it.

"Ssttt, no question whatsoever, have already participated.."sergah Anna.

I just followed where he wanted to take me. When I saw Anna enter the pink room. I didn't dare go there and I decided I'd wait for him outside this room.

Long enough I waited, arriving somehow pulled from wherever I tried to see Anna. What are you doing, a long time_in Me.

Until in front of the door...

"Araban....

I heard him say my name, does he know me?_inner. I looked more closely at his face until I knew who was in front of him.

"Shypha....

Yes he is Syifa, the person I miss so much, but what does all this mean?_asked inner. 

Bridal outfit? Don't-don't you marry this.....

O Allah strengthen the servant..What does it mean for Anna to accompany her wherever she goes during this marriage?

I wanted to ask her but she suddenly ran to the balcony. Until Anna told me to go there to see her even if it was just for a little while.

What I see now is he is crying.

Does he not want to see me anymore?

Too many questions stuck in my mind. Though later tonight he will soon be his life companion, but it turns out he has been preached by others. It felt crowded, when I had to watch this wedding.

"Syifa.welcome, at least you don't linger for me, I love you for her, despite the tightness I feel.."lirihku. Errata!! Why do those words have to come out of my mouth!!

"I'm sorry, I can't keep a promise I made to you that day." I said.

I didn't expect to get those words out in front of him. But whatever my day is, I'm not who it is, I have to learn to be able to recapitulate it.

"Syifa.have your heart to accept 'He' as your companion, God has sent someone who is best for you, I believe he is a good man, believe me..." After saying that then I left and I should also try to leave all those memories by force, I should be able to.

"Anna Abang first down, if there is anything look for aja Abang down, assalamualaikum.." pamitku.

Now I don't know the purpose of my life, I don't know why I can't accept all this, but I can't be selfish maybe this is the best of God for me and for you Syifa too.

'Forgive me for a long time.'my inner.

"Afwan mas, ana accidentally." I said flat.

"I.i.e., it's okay.." she replied a little nervously.

Then I walked away from here, as I wanted to walk the path to relieve this little bit of tightness somehow I felt like someone was following me from behind, when I looked and it turned out they were friends of friends he accidentally hit earlier.

They approached me and introduced themselves to me, I could only shut up. There's a little confusion running through my mind right now, but I can't think of anything bad.

"Assynoltom..." Say one of the men who wears the same robe as me.

"Waalaikumsalam.ada what yes mas" asked me.

I see they are just looking at one and the other.

"Can anyone help you? Ask again.

"Assynoltom...

Suddenly came someone who he just hit earlier.

"Alhamdulillah you came to Fathan." said one of his friends.

"Greetings to napa! Serge someone who is rather ideal of his posture.

"Hehe, sorry, waalaikumsalam ustazah.." replied someone who was originally.

Platkkk!!

"The habit!! Udeh silence!! Don't make me sprain!! Sergey the guy I hit earlier.

I want to feel like I'm out of this state, but how special my inner self is.

"Ar...faan...are you Arfan?? Ask someone I hit.

I who heard my name was called said yes, but from where did he know my name.

"Alhamdulillah, I can meet you. introduce me Fathan her future husband Syifa..." 

The deggg!!

Where does he know? Has Syifa told you everything between me and her? 

I don't know!!

My mind is in chaos now.

It felt like the claustrophobic was getting bigger, how did he have to get out of here.

O God I beg you to help me now.

"And this is my best friend, this one is Raihan and this one is Farhan.." he added.

Then I introduced myself to them.

"Generic..." I forcefully smiled at them.

"I know everything..." 

Jebbb!!

"I mean...? My words were flat, even though I was still confused by her words just now.

"I know that you still love Syifa right? Ask.

Duarr!!

I don't know what else he's gonna tell me. His words struck my heart a little.

"Where do you know? Means back. By trying not to show surprise in front of people he just knew.

"I'm sorry, I'm presumptuous, this.(while handing Syifa's diary over), you better read the first and last pages and if you're sure you'll know what I mean..."

I who heard her only fused my eyebrows together, confused? I'm confused what this all means?

"Afwan, I don't understand, what do you mean? I was surprised by the formal language.

"Just read it.." continued Raihan.

I who did not want to think for a long time immediately took the book that Fathan handed me.

I saw Fathan just looking at me and then I nodded to agree with Fathan's words to read the book he gave me.
