Dara Manisku
That love starts with compassion.

Mama Dara was worried about what things Ihsan would ask her.

"What is Mom really related to Tiger Gang Boss?" Ihsan asked while holding Mama Dara's cold hand.

Mama Dara was silent.

"I'm sorry, maybe my question made you surprised, actually this question has long wanted me to ask Mom, just delayed because the time is not right". Ihsan.

"I found it strange when suddenly Tiger Gang Boss pulled back all his men, as well as Dara's words saying that this was all because Boss had promised Mother that she would not bother Dara again". Reveal Ihsan while looking into Mama Dara's eyes that bowed anxiously.

"What's wrong Mom, what's wrong? do you know that Tiger Gang Boss?" Tanya Ihsan was getting curious.

Mama's still quiet, she's fretting how to. There was no way Mama Dara would tell Ihsan everything.

"How will Ihsan respond if he finds out that Dara is the daughter of a criminal!" Whisper Mama Dara's heart.

"No, I can't possibly be honest with Ihsan!" thought Mama Dara.

"eemmm, what do Ihsan mean? how could I possibly know that Tiger Gang Boss, the first time I saw him when he walked into the ICU room, that's all!" Mama Dara replied while looking away unable to look Ihsan in the eyes.

From his gaze that could not look Ihsan in the eyes immediately made Ihsan suspicious. "Why did Mama Dara lie?" Ask me in my heart.

"All right ! I'm not going to force you to be honest, I understand it must be difficult for you to tell me everything, I won't ask you this again, I'm sorry Mom?" Ihsan gave a response to Mama Dara's questionable answer.

"But if one day you want to say it, I'll be ready to listen!" Reveal Ihsan while stepping back to Dara's room.

Mama Dara bowed in shame, Mama Dara knew that Ihsan knew she had lied.

"I'm sorry Ihsan, I'm forced to lie, because I'm afraid you'll leave Dara if you know the truth". Mama Dara said softly as she saw Ihsan stepping away.

"Ihsan, how ? have you asked Mama yet?" Dara asked who saw Ihsan enter her room with a face like a person who was thinking hard.

"Goddess!" call Dara again.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Tanya Ihsan was shocked to hear Dara's call.

"Kok bengong, I asked you already asked Mama?" Ask Dara again.

"Oh that, about it has been answered by your mother, she does not know the Tiger Gang Boss, the first time I met ya time in the ICU room, he said.

"Well, what do I say, there's no way Mama knew that villain!" Dara said satisfied that his estimate was correct.

"You fasted Dara?" Tanya Ihsan switched the conversation. Ihsan approached and sat down beside Dara.

" Alhamdulillah still, why is it?" dara replied while asking back.

"heemmm, you're sick again, you're hurt, why are you fasting!?" obviously Ihsan

"that's why it hurts my forehead, not my stomach!" Dara replied, denying Ihsan.

"bad boy, cute but strong too!" Ihsan said while rubbing Dara's head covered with a veil.

"I'm a little boy what!" Dara replied spoiled and then took Ihsan's hand which was holding her head.

They laughed and unconsciously their hands touched each other without any restrictions, namely the gloves that Dara usually wears.

Their hands clasped tightly together. As if it can't escape.

"DIG!" the heart of Ihsan was beating fast. Ihsan's feelings for Dara who was buried for so long, seemed to be unable to hide anymore.

So did Dara, their eyes looking at each other.

Unknowingly Ihsan got closer, her handsome face started to approach Dara's face covered in a veil.

Dara was silent as she was sculpting, her heart pounding even more.

"Astaghfiullah!" Ihsan regained his senses when he saw Dara's veil.

"I'm sorry !" Said Ihsan feeling embarrassed and clumsy.

"I'm sorry !" Said Ihsan who immediately turned away from Dara and walked out of the room.

Dara looked at Ihsan with embarrassment.

"what just happened!?" Dara unexpectedly, her heart was adrift so quickly by Ihsan's gentle eyes.

" Athaghfirullah!" Dara rubbed her chest.

" What's up, Dara?" Ask Mama Dara who suddenly entered the room and saw Dara stroking her own chest.

"Why, does your chest hurt, does it feel tight?" Ask Mama Dara worried.

"no Ma, my chest is fine, only my heart was beating very fast". Dara replied while remembering the incident earlier.

"no Ma. I'm fine!" Dara assured her Mama.

Ihsan walked in the hospital hallway looking for a toilet.

"Sorry sir, where's the toilet?" Ask someone who passed by.

"turn left!" Briefly answer the man.

Arriving at the toilet, Ihsan washed his face many times. Others who saw it to astonishment.

Collar shirt blue Ihsan to get wet exposed to splashes of water.

Ihsan sighed, her hands checking her heart which was still pounding.

"crazy for you, realize, she's Dara and what she likes is Axel, not you Ihsan!" Said Ihsan in front of the glass while rubbing her soaking wet face.

"what am I thinking, then I'm embarrassed to look at Dara!" Ihsan said annoyed at himself.

Ihsan took a phone out of his pants pocket, he was about to call someone.

"Assalamualaikum Ummi, what else is Ummi at home?" Ihsan asked by phone

"wa'alaikumus greetings warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, eh Ihsan, Ummi again in the kitchen to cook for iftar, you have arrived son?" Ask Ummi back

"Alhamdulillah is Ummi". Ihsan answered while walking out the toilet.

"Ummi, can I talk to you for a second?" Tanya Ihsan who seemed to want to confide in Ustadzah, the adoptive mother who had been taking care of Ihsan since Ihsan was 5 years old.

"Yes son, speak up, Ummi will listen!" Answer the gentle Ustadzah.

"Ummi .. is it normal for a man to suddenly have his heart beating near a woman?" Ihsan asked plainly.

Although Ihsan is a young Lecturer, she has never felt the love of a girl.

Ustadzah who heard that smiled knotingly.

"On which woman does your heart beat Ihsan?" Ask Ustadzah

"a Ummi veiled woman ". Reply Ihsan who unknowingly answered honestly Ustadzah's trapping question.

Ustadzah heard it smiling again.

"Eh. You know so I'm Ummi! I mean another man, there was a man who asked me Ummi !" Ihsan replied stammering her face reddened in embarrassment.

"Ihsan, my dashing son, don't be ashamed of Ummi, tell me again what makes your heart beat? let's just tell her it's okay!" Persuade Ustadzah to his son to want to tell a story without feeling awkward.

"I almost kissed an Ummi woman, and it was more crazy ...Astaghfirullah.he's a veiled woman! Thank God I quickly realized Ummi, Forgive Ihsan Ummi, so weak Iman Ihsan". Ihsan replied while bowed down sadly mixed with embarrassment.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah Ihsan, that is your faith strong son, you can resist the temptation of lust, then realize, That is great dear!" Answer Ustadzah with pride.

"Son, no man is perfect, you're not an angel without lust, so it's only natural that if you're interested in the opposite sex, she's beautiful, right?" Ustadzah explained to Ihsan not to be discouraged.

"Thank God, God is still guarding you from adultery, Now go home, and rest at home, son ". Pinta Ustadzah to Ihsan to go home soon.

"Thank you Ummi, listen to Tausiah Ummi my heart is calm now". Ihsan replied with teary eyes.

" Yes Ummi, I'll be home soon". Answer Ihsan then say hello and turn off his HP.

"I have to say goodbye first, but..HUF..!" Ihsan took a deep breath, she still felt embarrassed to meet Dara.

"Assynoga". Ihsan entered Dara's room.

"wa'alaikumus salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" replied Dara.

'wa'alaikumsalam" replied Mama Dara

"Mom, I'm saying goodbye, go straight to the boarding school !" Ihsan approached Mama Dara and salim.

"Be careful, dear Ihsan, greetings to Ustadz and Ustadzah!" Answer Mama Dara.

"Because, I said yes ". Said Ihsan who still felt awkward unable to look at Dara's eyes.

Dara answered Ihsan just by nodding her head, her mouth unable to speak.

Mama Dara saw the two of them acting strangely so she wondered.

"What's wrong with them? did they fight?" thought Mama Dara while smiling at Ihsan who left.

Dara just stared at the steadfast back of Ihsan who was slowly moving away.
