"Asthma!" call Fay and Nau at the same time.
The call, made the girl standing in front of the window raise her right hand while hinting at two fingers. Then refocus on the call that is discussing something, then end it with a farewell greeting.
''Assalamu'alaikum, why are you still standing?" Welcoming Asma once turned to face her online friends, eyes that clashed with each other as if convincing themselves that the meeting was real. "His legal greetings are required, you see."
Nau and Fay gasped, unimaginable for a meeting that could be considered a small possibility for a meeting up together. "Wa'alaikumsalam, sorry, Ka."
"It's okay, who is he?" Asma turned her attention to Satya who was still silent with an unblinking look, making Nau immediately pat her on the shoulder of his friend who immediately jumped in shock.
"Satyas. My college friend, Ka. It just so happens that we have a haunting task to examine some buildings as a reference to create a collaborative design." Obviously Nau who returned relaxed, somehow like no need for tension in the actual meeting was awkward.
A direct explanation gives a definite answer. Jeni invited the guests to sit down and ask what they wanted to order, making Asma shake her head slowly. Rey did allow herself to stay in the room, but sent the woman to stay with her.
Well, for almost thirty minutes less. The atmosphere in the room was unpleasant. Not tense, but it is like being in an interrogation room without asking questions. Maybe because he was busy cleaning up a job, while Jeni did not know what to do other than stand still in front of the sofa.
"Jen! There is no Mas Rey or Ka Bagas. So it doesn't have to be formal, after all we can sit together and chat casually." Tukas Asma tried to remind the situation not to be as cold as a running refrigerator.
A different aura. Jeni felt her boss' wife was more calm even her eyes remained calm. Is it all because of the arrival of guests who have now sat facing each other? Or indeed the girl has forgiven her past mistakes. To be honest, he still felt ashamed of his brazen attitude.
"Well, are you guys going for a walk around the hotel?" Nau distracts all with the submission of one question, he does not want to release his cousin just like that without certainty.
"Nau, didn't you promise to allow me to walk around unattended? Don't tell me there's a new condition, again." Fay's protest refrained from remaining calm with eyes fixed on his cousin's brother.
Seeing the situation, Asma leaned back onto the sofa while smiling thinly at Nau's possessive attitude towards Fay. The brothers have a unique relationship. Sometimes feel entitled, but still have boundaries that cannot be broken. I understand enough of a brother's worries.
''Nau, Fay won't go alone. That's my promise. Besides, I don't know anything about the streets of Jakarta. We will leave, if Mas Rey and Ka Bagas have finished the meeting.''' explained Asma gave certainty, making Nau rub his face rough.
Can't get in the way of the cousin's holiday because all the conditions are met. Moreover, Ka Asma also gives a business card with a home address with a home phone number and some information that can be a place of inspection. If something happens.
''You know, the other kids are waiting. We have to get there.'' Satya reminded with her panicked face, eyes fixed on her phone.
Not wanting to increase the level of anxiety of the cousin sister. Fay picked up his phone, then handed it to Nau, ''You want a phone?''
A good offer, but will it be useful? Not wanting to reduce the trust of brothers. Finally Nau moved from his place, and then said goodbye. He did not forget to leave Fay to Ka Asma. The responsibility that should be on his shoulders, instead he left it to others. I don't know what would happen if my family knew it.
"Jen, take them all the way down!" alatah Asma got a nod to the head of the secretary belonging to Bagas.
The departure of Nau, Satya and Jeni, makes Fay and Asma accompany their steps with a wave of goodbye hands. Let one by one the back disappear from behind the door of the room which is now increasingly quiet without a crowd. So quiet that the sound of a heart beat sounded very clear.
"Fay, sit! So how's the journey going?" ask Asma while removing the blazer covering her short-sleeved dress.
The question is not the usual curiosity. Honestly, when I got to know my sister online. She knew the status of the girl in front of her was single, but today she already had a husband and sister-in-law. Quite surprised, but still patient to get an answer at the right time. Moreover, suddenly living in the city of Jakarta with a life that is quite astonishing.
"On that," Asthma tries to neutralize her emotions, "I got married just a matter of weeks and all just happened. As we usually argue. Whose soul knows? Now this is where my soul mate is."
"Ka Asma cheated, but congratulations yes. May it last, sakinah, mawaddah warohmah. Finally the single status was permanently deleted." Fay said with gratitude for the happiness he got online.
The conversation of the two got further with interspersed with laughter, although initially had to find the right word. The rest just flowed without having to think about which way the sharing the two girls did. The meeting that was immediately fused like it had not met for a long time, after a long wait.
Surprisingly, Jeni did not come back. Though it had disappeared for twenty minutes from his departure, it was enough to distract Asthma. Intentions want to find out, suddenly the door of the room in the open without excuse. The scent of perfume that he was familiar with poured into the room. A brief conversation about the end of the job sounds pretty obvious.
"Butterfly, have you decided where to go?" Rey asked after Bagas responded to all his orders, but once he saw there was only Fay in the room with Asma. Eyes circulated throughout the room. "Where are your other friends?"
"Rey, they're college kids coming in for assignments. Of that company that is free without duty is only the girl in front of us. Didn't you?" clearly Bagas asked for approval, a stare of prying eyes rained down on Fay in dislike or doubt.
Obviously, Bagas was annoyed by Fay's existence, but could not do anything about it. All because Asthma's desire is more important than her thinking. While Fay is self-conscious about his existence that is not expected by the man. I don't know, why become like a reborn enemy. Strange feeling, but it is better to forget without thinking.
"Fay, meet my husband. Mas Reyhan," Asma pointed towards Rey who was walking towards his seat, then turned to point towards Bagas who was still standing like a statue in front of the door. "Ka Bagas, best friend, brother and right-hand man Rey. What say?"
What just now, Ka Asma asked for her opinion or judgment about Bagas? Sounds absurd, but it definitely has another purpose. It's not just Fay who feels he's being tested for eligibility. Rey also realizes that his wife is trying to match the two people who still do not know each other. Is it a form of revenge or just want a joke?
"Dee! Don't start what you shouldn't." Bagas reminded Asma with serious eyes, but the younger brother did not want to listen to him. Seeing that rejection, it would be better to stay away from the problem. "Rey, I'll go to the office first."
It seemed like Bagas was angry because of his overly frontal attitude. Not wanting to make a plan today failed, in the sambarnya blazer mixed on the sofa. Hurry up to wear it and not forget to bring a cell phone lying on the table. Footsteps following leaving the room room without permission, making Rey not stay silent.
Bagas walked fast enough that Asthma could not catch him, but when he wanted to use the card on the glass door. Suddenly the door began to move. Instantly he retreated his footsteps away from the front of the glass door, but at the same time. Asthma reaches its place until an accidental impact occurs.
Afraid of something happening to his sister, Bagas reflex checked Asthma's forehead until his body turned back to the position of the glass door. Where a scantily dressed woman featuring a seductive cleavage enters the VVIP hallway. Definite footsteps with the sound of shoes heels disguised because of the stand on the floor covered with thick carpet.
From the opposite direction appeared a girl who ran a little towards him, but followed by a man who was very familiar to him. "Rayyhan!"
The call stopped Fay's footsteps, as did Bagas who looked up to find the source of the familiar sound. While Asma was still wiping her arm that accidentally hit the wall, Rey herself was still walking without caring for the call. It was a confusing atmosphere for everyone.
"Rayyhan!" calling him once again, made Asma turn her head towards the woman standing in front of him. "Is she your wife?"
The woman's hand pointed at Fay who was standing not far from her with a peeking gaze from overhead to toe. Is it used to judging in that way? While the one being stared at was still silent trying to digest the situation. How the demeanor, gaze, and smile that was left behind only had one word of conclusion. Jealous.
"Elora! Why are you here?" Bagas was forced to distract the woman in front of him, but after standing in front of Asthma so as not to fall into the sight of the doctor who has emotions is always passionate.
