My Love lawyer
Accidentally Meet

Lani threw her body on the bed. His heart still ached considering the incident earlier this afternoon. He did not expect Andre to say rudely to him.  Lani took a breath, trying to expel her heartache. All this time he had tried to convince himself that Andre was actually good, but today that belief evaporated. But, yes it is.nobody is perfect, he whispered.

Lani gets up, she has to take a shower to get her brain fresher. However, his intention was stopped when he heard the sound of crying someone –tadi Lani was too upset to realize that there was a body lying on the bed with a prone position, Lani said, Lani approached the origin of the voice.

“You why Fah? “ Lani sits on the edge of the bed.

Latifah's crying is getting louder.

“Fah, why? You're story

dong equals me. “ persuade Lani.

Latifah turned her body, then sat down facing Lani. His eyes were puffy, his cheeks wet in water

eye. Lani was surprised, Latifah's tumben was so strong. What's up, huh?

“Ilham stop ta’aruf process. “

“Why? It'll be one more step. “

“The mother changed her mind again. “

“That means disagree again? Didn't you agree yesterday? “

“Iya, but..after the process so far, his mother changed again. “

The ta’aruf Latifah and Ilham process is the longest process Lani has ever known, almost five

moons. It was all because Ilham still needed to persuade both his parents – especially his mother – to receive Latifah. Because, Ilham's mother did not want to have a daughter-in-law who was not Sundanese, Latifah happened to be not Sundanese but Minang people. Latifah himself had once declared retreat, but Ilham still insisted to continue the process. After four months, Ilham received permission from his mother. Latifah was introduced to them and everything went smoothly. Ilham was introduced to his parents in Padang even though only through video calls. Next week Ilham and his family plan to go to Padang to propose to the girl officially . Latifah herself had prepared herself for the need

her wedding. And now, Ilham even declared retreat.

“What is his mother's reason? “

“Still stay the same. And worse, he will match Ilham with his distant kinsmen

coincidentally doctor also. “ said Latifah while wiping her tears. “ I'm ashamed of Lan, ashamed of my family. I don't know what to say about mom and dad. “

Lani embraces Latifah's shoulder. Latifah hugging Lani.

“Ilham said she can't do anything anymore. If he stays forward, his relationship with his mother may not be good forever. “

Latifah remembered once the expression of the face of Ilham this afternoon; sad, ashamed and disinclined mixed into one.

“Sorry, I can no longer continue this process. “ Ilham said with a vibrating voice. “ I have no power against the will of mother. You can see all this time I tried to survive, but now.I'm really overwhelmed.“.

“It's okay. I-i understand. That means not a soul mate. Why continue if it will eventually bring division in the family. “ Latifah tried to withstand the turmoil in her chest. As much as possible she held back her tears from spilling.

“Mbak didn't expect it to be like this. “ Said Mbak Atikah the ‘mak matchlang’.

“Yah..mau how again. We leave everything to God. You two are not fools. Hopefully each of them will get better. “ said ustadz Haris, the husband of Mbak Atikah.

“About Latifah family, let me talk to them. “ says Ilham

“Oh, no need. Let me be, I'm sure they'll understand. “

Latifah wiped her tears again. “ I should have indeed retreated from the beginning huh Lan. Why should I

following the will of Inspiration to survive. It was a sign not to continue. “

“Yah..something forced is not good. “

“Maybe God wants to warn both of us of the sanctity of intention. Is it still pure

solely because of Allah or may not have been mixed with other things.“

“Can be Fah. Everything has its silver lining. God willing, you will get better. “

Latifah smile.

“Gagal so mom doctor not pa-pa dong. Could be the council's mother. “

“Lani…..!!! what the fuck? “ Latifah pinched Lani's stomach.

Lani. “ Pain tau! “

“Biarina. Rese’ anyway. “

They laugh.

The orange-red tinge began to peek at the eastern horizon. Its light has given color to the inhabitants of the earth. Lani looked at the timid king of the afternoon. Sunrise in the capital city is not as beautiful as Lani's hometown. In his village, he could still hear birds chirping in the morning. But, here, in this city there is even the roar of vehicles. The air is also not as fresh as the air in the village. But, the atmosphere of the morning is the most

fun for Lani – no matter if the air is still fresh or not –because every morning Lani feels like she has just been revived and thrown into a new world full of hope.  Lani is grateful that God is still willing to give him a life loan so that he can improve himself to be better. That gratitude is always manifested with remembrance and a new spirit.

Today is Sunday, a holiday. The day Lani can be full time at home. Usually the time on Sundays will be spent doing homework; washing, ironing and cleaning the house. After that, Lani usually spends time reading or just chatting with her college friends first. In the afternoon he did not forget to attend the pressurization.

“Lan, we go to Mall yuk? “ invite Latifah who just finished drying clothes.

“Ke Mall? Whynot? “

“Ya shopping. Masa’ yes want to swim. “

Lani.

“Actually I want to look at a book. There is a bookstore in the mall, Lani. “

“Makanya. The mall is near here. “

“Which is far away is also not pa-pa. We sometimes go for a walk. I'm bored too, huh. “ Lani actually wants

telling me about the event of hitting a tree with Andre's car, but there is no point as well, especially Latifah is still in a sad atmosphere.

“Then it is, so dong huh? “

“Siip..”.

They both walk around the mall. His main goal was to go to a bookstore. Lani is also tired of rereading her existing books, so she wants to buy a new one. Today Latifah smiles more as Lani unceasingly makes jokes.

In the bookstore.

“What book do you want to find Lan? “

“Novel.“ replied Lani steady.

“Novel. The other dong."

“What would others buy? “

“Many things to buy. “

“Today the priority is novel. I'm dying again, so I want a light reading. You are also a lover of novels, right? “

Latifah smile.

Lani heads to the shelves of fiction books and begins to pick out the lined novels. After getting the desired book, Lani put it in the grocery bag and moved to the shelves of law books. While being engrossed in picking up books, he accidentally collided with a tall towering body. When he found out who he hit, Lani was shocked not to play.

“Pak Andre? “

Andre looked at him with a cold look.

“Sorry, Sir. Not intentionally. “

“You are always careless." Andre passed.

Lani sneers. “Bikin mood broken aja. “ murmur.

Latifah approached Lani. “Kok even bengong here? “

“Bust I hit Andre Maulana, SH. Famous but also famous lawyer cocky.“

“Andre? Huh uh?! Andre, the advocate who works where you intern? “

Lani nodded.

“Where is the person? “

Lani pointed at a tall, white – male wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and

standing sneakers are not too far away from them. So this is the style of the lawyer if outside the office, very ordinary. Lani used to see Andre with a shirt, tie, suit and pantofel shoes.

“Oh...” Latifah.

“Eat yuk...you're done, right shopping for the book? “

“Udah. Yuk...”

After paying for the book they bought at the cashier, Latifah and Lani head to the food court on the fourth floor of the Mall.

Lani ordered her favorite chicken noodles and lemon tea ice, while Latifah ordered meatballs and orange ice. While eating they talk about books

the one Lani just bought.

“Eh, where is your Mas Andre staying anyway? How can I meet you here? “

Lani shrugs her shoulders. “Where do I know. “

“Never nanya? “

“Create what? It's not important. “

“Usually you like a prank. “

“Enak aja prank. Same guys?  No, yeah. Especially just as arrogant man as he is. ”

Latifah nudged Lani's arm, trying to tease her best friend.

"His face looks good."

"Don't judge book by its cover. He's a good cover, it's dilapidated." Lani grunting.

"Astagfirullah, so be it, say. Wh why? You fight with him again?"

Lani took a breath. Then the story flowed about yesterday. Latifah listened carefully, from the look of Lani's face when telling stories, she concluded, her friend was very disappointed with Andre.

"Prophey yes, Lan. Hopefully in the future your communication will be better."

"Capek, Fah ngadepin him. Banget. When I made peace with my heart and tried to convince her that she was a good person, it always made me sad and angry. Don't know, same as him."

Latifah sighed.
