"Hi, do you know? I don't know why my heart has been so hard to explain lately."
"Can you just shut up?! Tell me what to do?!"
Andin dropped his mama-given doll on his lap. In recent years he has often told his beloved lifeless object. Yeah, how else? Want to tell who it is? Meta, best friend? He was even very far away to her.
No one always listens to Andin. Though before that he was used to tell a lot to Meta about his life. But what is the power. He must indeed get used to the circumstances where he must be alone and continue to be alone in facing the twists and turns of his life.
Ah yes, Ummi told me to go to his room. Hemm, lately Ummi has become closer to me.
Andin immediately put on her hijab. The light blue hijab is patterned with stripes on its periphery. I love the color blue, especially the light blue. To him, light blue was a bright color, as bright as his future. That was the reason why Andin liked that bright color. He looks brighter when combined with his favorite color. She has looked beautiful since she was a child.
"What are you doing there? Come on Andin, come on in."
Said Ummi who saw Andin standing in front of the door. Andin nodded his head and immediately followed Ummi who stepped into his room.
The room is so minimalist. There was a small shelf cabinet and a few books that filled the shelf. Andin sat on the floor while Ummi sat on the sofa.
"Eh, let's sit upstairs with Ummi."
Ummi helped Andin to sit next to him. Andin did not refuse, or even just to deny it.
"Do you know, Ummi called you here because of what?"
"Don't know Ummi."
Mimik Ummi's face looks more serious. Yes, Andin realized that.
"Are you in a relationship with Ustad Zidan Haq?"
Deg.
Aaaaa, end my story. Now what am I supposed to say?!
"Andin, you're free to tell Ummi anything. It's about you and Ustad Zidan Haq. What's going on between you two? Ummi would be greatly appreciated if you would like to tell me what Ummi wants to hear. Hurry up, tell me a story..."
Did I tell Ummi? After all Ummi would not be likely to be a hindrance later. Well, Ummi is also my parents here. He is very good and will always be like that.
"At that time..."
Andin begins to tell Ummi about himself with Zidan Haq. It tells slowly while sorting out the words that if appropriate to tell to Ummi. Yes, of course by not omitting the facts.
......................
"I-i...."
"Hemm, we mean...."
"L-luck...."
Zidan Haq said to Andin. After Andin allowed Zidan Haq to say something he said he was dying to say, Zidan Haq apparently had a hard time expressing it.
Of course it makes You very confused and also curious. What would Zidan say? He doesn't usually have trouble talking that way. Andin wondered.
"What's wrong? What do you want to say?" (asked Andin)
"I-i..."
Again Zidan stammered. Andin was really made anxious by his behavior.
"Is this really important? Ah of course this is very important. Otherwise, you wouldn't bother to say it, would you? Okay, come on. Just say it. I'm ready to listen to whatever you say."
"You sure?"
Andin nodded steadily.
"Father and mother..."
"What's wrong with my mom?! Is she okay? Quickly tell me that my mother is fine." (andin replied impatiently)
Andin looked very worried. Yeah, it's not very far-fetched.
"It's not like that Andin, your mama even your papah is fine."
"Ah okay. I don't care about papah at all."
Whether he got the wind from where, Zidan held Andin's fingers. What was Andin's reaction? Of course it was like he was hanging.
"You want to know what I want to say, don't you?"
Andin nodded slowly.
Oh my God, just say it! I'm afraid all the organs in my body will be removed.
"Emmm, are you very curious?"
I told you yes!
Again Andin just nodded slowly. Within such a close distance it seemed that Andin was afraid of disappointing the person before him. He was afraid that if he let out his voice just a little, it would make a sound that is not sexy in the ear. Of course it will make Andin embarrassed in front of Zidan Haq later.
"Before I wanted to ask you something, you would answer it honestly right?"
"All right, I'll answer."
"Emmm, are you..." (Zidan hangs up his sentence)
"Do you like me?"
"Ehehe, what are you talking about?"
Andin removed his hand from Zidan's grasp. He was surprised by the response you showed. But how else? Looks like Zidan really has to finish his conversation with Andin. Yeah, he won't put it off again.
"Tell me, do you like me?"
Why would he ask me such a thing. It would be a shame if I answered. Never mind, let it go.
"You don't want to answer?"
"Alright, if you don't want to answer. Now let's see my eyes. What are you looking at?"
Andin obeyed Zidan Haq's orders to look into his eyes.
"What do you see Ndin?"
"I see my face in your eyeballs." (obviously without a doubt)
Zidan Haq smiled hearing the innocent expression of the girl before him.
"Didn't you see sincerity in my eyes just for you?"
"Andin listen to me..."
Zidan again grabbed Andin's fingers and immediately grasped them tightly.
"I love you. Even loved you so much. You're the same, right?"
"Yes, I'm sure you have the same taste for me." (again)
Zidan was seen smiling a few times. Andin was silent. He is solemn in listening to the words of Zidan.
"And do you know, even we've been betrothed. You're old enough to know everything, so I've decided to say this now."
Surely Andin was very surprised by the words of Zidan who said that the two of them had actually been betrothed.
What is said by him is true? And if so, I should be happy, right? Wasn't that my dream all along? What's wrong with me this time? What was? Who can help me in answering my anxiety this time. What is going on with my heart right now?
......................
"That's the story of Ummi. The point is that Ustad Zidan expressed his feelings to me. And he said that we were actually set up."
Ummi seemed to be digesting Andin's sentence before he said his rebuttal.
"Did you love her too, Andin?"
"Yes, that's how Ummi is."
That's all Andin can say. It seems he does not want to be too dizzy for his business. And yes, of course he did not want to tell all about himself to Ummi clearly. However, he did not trust anyone this time. Except for her mom and, yeah Aunt Helen.
I miss my mother and Aunt Helen. How are you with those two, huh? May it always be okay. Mom, Aunt Helen, do you two miss Andin too?
SERIATE...
