Hijrah in the Way of God
I'm gonna stay away from you

The Canteen

There was a chattering of students in Kantin Mpok Nani. The canteen was very crowded with students from grade 10 to grade 12. Some months this simple canteen became a favorite dining place for students there.

Dino casually ate the food that had been served on the table. The young man looked very happy to get free food from his best friend.

Tito was seen silently observing the food on the table. He hasn't touched the food. "What do you mean we all eat?" ask her to Indra with a suspicious look.

Indra who was chewing food turned to look at Tito. "meaning?" Indra asked after gulping down some water in the glass beside her.

"Not usually we treat. Usually it is Ridho who often pay us to eat," said Tito still observing the meal.

"Don't suspect it's the same with me. I mean good. There is no meaning," said Indra. He continued eating activities.

Slowly Tito grabbed the plate on the table and started eating. Having just eaten, he looked up as his friends stood up. Get up from there. "Where are you going?" tanyakanya. "Don't go first. Wait for me," he asked.

"Lo is late. Our food has just begun," replied Fiko annoyed. I wonder why he has such a friend.

They all sat back.

"Bro what is your relationship with Rahma. Just fine. I saw Dimas nempel mulu with Rahma. Where Rahma always followed" said Indra. Watching Rahma and Dimas from afar.

"Gue was confused too. Lately Rahma kept me away again," replied Ridho looking sad. He never made a mistake with the girl.

"Gue was sure all this had something to do with Dimas. He must have influenced Rahma to stay away from you" Indra guessed.

"Udah is just aja. I don't want to think about it," said Ridho like not excited. The young man was silent a lot. And don't pay much heed to his friends raving like parrots.

Dino rubbed Ridho's back. "Lo's patient, bro. If you are a mate, you will definitely be united in a beautiful way by God," he said encouragingly. I don't know where he got such wise words. Thought Indra.

Ridho just kept silent not answering. He just left the canteen.

Ridho is already in class. Sit while leaning his head against the table. What happened a few weeks ago is back in his brain.

The flash back

Ridho smiles when he finds Rahma in the back garden of the school. The girl's favorite place. He walked over and sat down next to the girl. It seemed that the girl looked shocked as she was suddenly there. It was obvious that the girl jumped when she turned to look at Ridho.

But, Ridho looked confused. There is something strange about Rahma right now. His eyes looked swollen as if he had cried. I don't know what made the girl cry she didn't know about it.

"Why are you?" The question he finally asked a few seconds ago was in his brain.

The girl was silent for a second and then replied, "Why ask like that?" askalanya. His voice was clearly like crying.

"Have you been crying? Your eyes look swollen," said Ridho looked anxious. "Did something happen to you? Did anything hurt you? Tell me who hurt you?" tanyanya.

The girl sighed. Trying to normalize his voice. "You have hurt me" he said. Her tears fell as she said that sentence.

Ridho looked clueless with the words of the girl beside him. "What do you mean?"

Ridho increasingly did not understand the girl's words. "Why should I stay away from you? Am I wrong? If I'm wrong, I'm sorry."

The girl turned her eyes the other way. His heart ached when he heard the sorry words the young man said. The young man really had nothing wrong with him. If there was any mistake then. He forgot that too.

"Ridho you've been interfering with my life I know not. From now on don't come near me anymore."

Taste of slaughtered. His heart really hurt. Ridho was silent for a moment trying to understand. "Well if that's what you want. I'll stay away from you" he said. Almost her tears were shed. He quickly rubbed the corner of his eye. "I won't bother you. I'm sorry that all this time my presence near you has disrupted your life" he continued. Slowly he left the girl.

Rahma's cry broke. He was no longer able to hold. He doesn't know what to do. Maybe that's the best way. Her thought.

Flash back off

Ridho shouted hysterically making everyone in the class glance at him.

"Lo why, Bro?" The person who had just entered the class looked shocked.

Ridho looked straight at his friend. "Gue's okay" he replied lethargic.

"It's not healthy. Go home just now. Let me anter lo go home," said Indra concerned about the condition of his friend.

"Gue is okay. Lo calm down I'm healthy," said Ridho trying to pull his lips to smile. It was the forced smile he had.

Indra sighed slowly she let go. He understood the situation of his friend.

"Lo has to be upbeat, Bro. Don't give up on Rahma's heart. You have to pursue your love. I'm sure Rahma loves you too."

"No, he doesn't love me. He said that I was a bully," Ridho said, stressing the last word of his speech.

"Ridho," call Hermana. Papa Ridho's.

"Well, what's up, Pa?" tanyakanya.

"You're graduating school soon. Where do you want to go to college?"

"I don't know either, Pa," said Ridho.

"Where would you go to college in London. Take a business major there," suggested Hermana.

"Whatever Papa."

Hermana's lips are attracted to form a smile. Finally, his son followed his wishes.

"Later papa will take care of everything. You just stay in college" continued Hermana.

"Yes thanks, Pa," Ridho replied. Perhaps this way he could forget Rahma. Her thought.

"If I were just a bully of your life I'd stay away from you. Get as far away from your life as possible, "her inner self.
