Halalku Waiting
Part 8's

Arriving at the cake shop I walked into the cake house and asked Ummi cake order to the waiter in this store.

"Assalamualaikum mbak Mia, I want to take the order Ummi is ready right? and here's the money.

"Eh, waalaikumsalam, wait a minute, Miss Syifa" said one of the waiters at the store named Mia.

After waiting for a few minutes the waiter arrived.

"This is a cake ordered by Umm Rahma, and this is the change, thank you for stopping by here" he said kindly.

" Yes thank you again mbak, then I go home mbak, assalamualaikum.."pamitku.

"Yesa.. waalaikumsalam "

When I finished, I continued on my way home.

A few minutes later I was in front of my house. I saw in front of the house there was a red and black Scoopy vehicle, yes it belonged to my friend 'keyle' who had been waiting for me at home. I went in and said my greetings.

"Waalaikumsalam, eh Syifaaaa..lama very sehh" he grumbled.

"Sorry Key, wait a long time.."

"Yes, this is how you went to the cake shop? He asked with a look of wanting to eat up.

"Yes, why? Ask me wonder.

"Ko you didn't say say that if the cake ketoko I can take yesterday's order..." 

"Well, I don't know the key.."

Miris answered.

"It's okay, but after we walk you have to come to the store again, I want to take the order, okay"

I just nodded with Keyle's will.

"Eh Ummi's son has come home, where's Ummi's cake?" Ask.

I also showed you the cake I had placed on the table just now.

Then Ummi took the cake and brought it to the kitchen.

"Key, let's go to my room first, yeah, I'm gonna take a break just a little tired of me..."

"Yes already," he said resignedly.

And we walked up the stairs to the room to relax for a while.

"Fa, what were you doing with Fathan? He asked, I saw him laying on my favorite bed.

"You know if I went with Fathan, who told you? Ask wonder.

"So by chance when I came to your house, I accidentally met Abi, said Abi you came out with Fathan." he explained.

I who heard the key explanation just boooh ria.

"What happened earlier?" Ask again.

"Not why do ko, just that. Then key cut it.

"Just why??? Ask enthusiastically, 

"So gini.so that's the same as me, he said you why the crying time when the car was also crying, what's wrong? Did something happen to you? That question makes me speechless key" on the sidelines explained the incident was a little heated my eyes, yes.I want to cry at this time but let me hold it first.

"To gito's question, do you cry?? There's a little pause. I who heard the question just nodded. Then he continued his questions.

"Keep answering what..?ask her again.

"i said I'm okay..."

"Laa laaa answered that..?why that? You should have told her why you were crying...Oo, I know you're crying because of HER, right??!" Key emphasized the word He in front of Syifa. 

I can't say anymore, I resigned that this friend of his lectured him sakarang. If you knew my feelings key, you wouldn't force that question for me to answer my inner_.

"Syifa, Syifa.are you serious not the same? Or you just think of him as your outlet. I hope you're not like that, I know you fa, we've been a long time since childhood..." 

"And as for Fathan, I'm sorry key I haven't been able to love him." I said again.

"Oh Syifa, you just have to try not even like this, you have to get up, I'm sure ko someday if you are familiar like a husband and wife, surely the love comes by itself, I'm sure ko, you just need to open your heart to Fathan..." 

Key's words just made me feel a little weird, somehow.

"Fa believes that God, who fosters our love, affection, or hatred for someone, is His will, so we as humans are just trying to keep asking God for the best. We must not be selfish, all God has planned before we are born, we are just ordinary humans who are told to run according to the scenario..." Keyle.

This chest is rumbling again. I want to feel like I'm crying but I have to be strong, I'll hold on as much as I can to not cry.

"Hm, it felt so heavy, before I accepted Fathan's proposal, I was so confused, on the other hand I was waiting for Arfan, waiting for him to come, my heart was not rebellious even though it was a long time, even though it was a long time, I'm fine and it makes me happy, but on the other hand, Abi betrothed me to someone I never knew, I couldn't help but accept the proposal, because Abi Fathan and Abi were friends when they were at the lodge, so I did not want to make them disappointed, by accepting the proposal they would be happy but.....what was very disappointed at that time until now was my heart, the pain felt key..sakittttttt.."not to feel anymore the clear circle flowed swiftly, I was really not strong with all this, really!!!.

I scattered the tightness of my little best friend's hug.

"Prophey, fa, be assured with Allah that Allah has never tested his servant beyond his means, meaning that Allah judges you are able to face all of this, rest assured fa, whenever there is sadness there must be happiness after that.." I just try to smile at the word keyle that makes my mind a little calm.

'Hm.. Where is your arfan now? Are you okay there, I really miss you!_inner'

"You don't have to cry anymore, remove your tears, someone will suddenly come here and see you like this how?"

I also nodded in keyle's words. Then I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and after I finished I walked to the dresser, and smeared a little powder in the face and a little bit of liptin not to look pale.

I saw Keyle was lying down while playing his phone, occasionally he laughed, no matter what the child was doing, suddenly my idea to interrupt him just came.

Slowly, quietly, and finally I got behind the keyle, when I saw him he was on a video call with a man, but even more strangely no one spoke, just smile at the rich smile of a madman.

Astagfirullahhalazim.truly this child is as comfortable as a smile again, rich madman aja_batku. I saw him only with my head.

'Aha I have an idea.I video ahh.'my girl.

Then I picked up my phone on the table by the bed, I walked slowly and tried not to make any noise.

After I take it I open my phone, and open the camera app then move the camera mode to video mode and I press the red button, and look! I laughed silently at the strangeness of these two human beings.

Long enough I video Keyle and I saw him stop his video call and I quickly save the video and save my phone.

The one who looked at me behind him was astonished.

"Ngapain you?? Ask keyle wonder.

"Hmm.gak ko, just look at the mosquitoes through..."

I lied, then I turned around, really!! I can't help but laugh, I want to laugh as hard as I can, but for now not first, not the moment.

"Em, yes it is" 

I saw him smiling to himself, I don't know what he was thinking

O the basis of this child's bucin_inku.

"Oo yes key bentar again azan magrib, later you will not go to the mosque across there.." pointed me towards the mosque.

The location of the mosque is quite far from my house, therefore if you want to go the mosque must hurry if necessary before the mosque reverberates, so as not to miss the rakaat.

"Em, you're alone, I'm in a hitch" he said.

"Yes, I've left first, you stay here, or you meet Zahra there she is also an obstacle..." I said while preparing the prayer equipment.

"Okay ah, don't want to! your sister's too annoying for me." she growled.

"Haha, it used to be that way." I cheered. Then I sat down for a while on the sofa by the window.

"Yes already there hunt azan magrib hunt later." he expelled.

"Yes, then I go first. assalamualaikum..." Then I stood up and left after I heard Keyle's greeting, I saw he was very busy with his phone.

Then I rushed to the mosque, at this time I was just walking, hmm.a beautiful atmosphere_my inner.

After a long walk, I have not had time to go inside until the azan magrib reverberated. Then I went inside and sat with the people around me.
