The Dilemma of One Night Love

The Dilemma of One Night Love
Chapter 7


The overflow of the heart on the prayer mat brings Airin in a deep sense until he fell asleep. Passing an exhausting night.


Krekmk ... Krekm ...,


A noise outside the door, woke Airin from sleep. Slowly open your eyes with a blow followed by heavy breathing. Airin walked open the door an inch, saw what people were doing this morning blind.


A young man looked over, his gaze fixed on Airin who opened the door. A little gap made the two look at each other and greet with a smile. The sound of squeaking duct tape stopped, Airin saw some dus in front of his room, while the person in front of him closed it tightly with duct tape. There was no chatter, just staring at each other, then the man's gaze returned to taking care of his work.


Airin again closed the door of his room, removing the charger from his contact. Seeing that it was still at 3 am, Airin folded the prayer mat on the floor.


His eyes returned to staring at the phone screen, trying to venture into social media to find work by relying on his SMP diploma. Several job postings in the store in screenshots one by one. Hope there's one store that can hire pregnant young women.


2 Hours still at home staring at the cellphone screen, until the sound of dawn was heard just awakening Airin to rush a shower and perform dawn prayers.


'I can definitely!' inner Airin is hard, encouraging her to get through the new life.


After bathing and praying, Airin went out of cost to shop at the market. Buy some groceries, and also stoves and other equipment for daily use. Walking to enjoy the cool air in the morning in the city of Bandung, Kosambi Market has been seen in front of his eyes. Some traders roll out their trades along the trail even before entering the market.


Choose a few bowls and plastic cups on the roadside at a low price, five thousand three. Some people crammed until crowded and the seller until invisible. Then switch into the market to buy a stove and gas, after that with the body staggering because of the weight, Airin took the time to stop by and buy some vegetables and kitchen spices to process.


"Snack, tea?" Said a man standing in front of Airin with a small towel on his shoulder.


Airin was silent for a moment, thinking about it.


"No bang," replied Airin, after thinking about the meaning of this time's sniffing. Airin sauntered away with a heavy breath and then stopped when there was no more energy, sat over and then continued to travel again to his cost on the road cipaera.


Breath began to be relieved when, had seen the boarding fence. Airin pulled both shoulders again carrying 3 kg of gas and black plastic containing vegetables in the right hand, while the hand on the left side carried a stove and 1 1 liter bottle of mineral water.


Climb some stairs to the second floor, while briefly holding your breath and then deflated after being at the end of the stairs.


"Astaghfirullah," muttered Airin, then lowered the gas and plastic, left him briefly to put the stove and bottled water in the room, then again lifted the gas and plastic.


Airin lay on the floor trying to breathe, making her diaphragm lift, inflate perfectly and deflate. Airin wiped the sweat on his forehead, then kicked the door in front of his feet slowly until it closed, because there was no more energy to get up.


Airin took the phone in his pocket, staring at the phone screen with sadness because his parents did not call him anymore, his older brother Ikmal also did not seem to care anymore with Airin.


"New kid?" said a friendly young lady pointing towards Airin.


Airin nodded and also returned the young lady's smile.


"I'm Milea, I live on the 3rd floor. You're so young, college kid, huh?" Said a woman named Milea who wanted to start a familiarity.


" No, I .. I just stay and look for work here" said Airin, bowed awkwardly.


"Oh, in the front shop there is a vacancy. Shoe shop that is on the side of the road, I work there really .. want me to know the same who has?" Milea said, pointing towards the highway that Airin had just passed.


"May tea, may I," replied Airin, looking back at Milea with an expanding smile.


"It's 9 o'clock, I'll wait here!" Milea said kindly, then walked up the stairs. While Airin was still stunned to see the beauty of Milea even though only her shadow seemed to slowly leave.


After not being seen again, Airin rushed to go to the grocery store and buy rice according to his original intentions.


Huh .. huh .. huh ....


Airin blew his forehead, until the top of the hijab floated. The room was very stuffy when the boiling vegetables exploded. Though the door was wide, but the heat from the steam was still billowing in the room.


After the meal was over, Airin sat down and ate his breakfast. Tears slowly fell on the plate, remembering this was the first time breakfast was unaccompanied by Mother, Father and Brother. Usually every morning, Airin and his mother cook together for the family, after the trial, lined up at the dinner table Father and Brother out of the room, while giving praise to Airin's cuisine, and then the family's family, end with a joke and a prayer before eating.


The laughter was only a memory, and the praise could no longer be heard in the ears. Airin stuffed one o'clock of rice and vegetables into his mouth, with a trembling heart. The loneliness felt very, very, although only two days ventured away from home.


The warm rice turned cold, when several times it was just busy wiping away tears rather than eating. Vegetables also taste bland because they are not touched by salt that is usually sprinkled from the lentic finger of his mother.


The burning passion for life left his family and friends this time shaky again, there is a great desire Inging back home and meet Angga. However, after getting a threatening message from Mona, Airin again leaned his back against the wall while wiping his tears.


'Did you drop it? please don't make me suffer. What about my mom and dad? They would be really sad if my relationship with Angga ended. Didn't you say my family is your family, too, drop it and come back. I'll forgive you, and I don't consider that a mistake happened. You want me to suffer and go crazy, if you go back and tell Angga that.' Fill in a chat message from Mona, which makes Airin more tortured and lost.


Airin did not reply to her and preferred to block Mona's number from her contacts. However, his heart was racing when the call of someone he missed called him.
