Part 15
"Um, this is my girlfriend Dora," Malik answered slowly.
"Are you sure? It's also possible that you have a girlfriend. It means you've moved on." Dora looked at Malik who was looking at her too.
"Dora, introduce her my best friend Alisa. She studied in America and has now moved back here." Dora stretched out her hand and was greeted by Alisa with a smile. Dora didn't like his smile, a forced smile.
"You are good at choosing a girlfriend, yes beibs, beautiful." Said Alisa while hugging Malik's arm again.
Dora rolled her eyes, her hands clenched into fists and then she looked at Malik.
"I'm going to class first, let's brother Bayu!" Dora left them.
Bayu just nodded seeing Dora's departure. Malik was about to follow Dora but was restrained by Alisa. Malik knew that Dora had left in a rage. Bayu shook his head, he knew there would be trouble and a big war after this.
Not long after, Malik took his cell phone from his pocket because there was an incoming message.
"We broke up!" a message from Dora with an angry emoji was received. Malik took a deep breath, he put his phone back.
"Alisa, I'll say goodbye first. You talk to Bayu first." Malik gestured to Bayu.
"But beibs, I still want to talk to you," shouted Alisa because Malik had already run out of the cafeteria.
Malik ran like being chased by the devil, he had to meet Dora as soon as possible. He knew Dora had left in a rage. Malik arrived in Dora's class with almost out of breath. Malik was about to enter, when suddenly Minar came out blocking him.
Dora isn't here, she's home." Minar said.
"Really? When?" asked Malik.
"After writing a message for Bang Malik earlier," answered Minar.
Malik immediately ran towards the exit of the campus. There was no one when he arrived at the campus gate. He approached the campus security guard who was also looking at him.
"Sorry sir, did you see Dora come out earlier?" asked Malik.
"Yeah, he came out while running like Malik too and took a taxi that happened to be passing by." Malik immediately took a motorcycle taxi that was stationed in front of the campus after thanking the security guard.
"Can you hurry a little bang, I'm in a hurry bang!" he asked the motorcycle taxi brother.
"Okay ready!" answered the motorcycle taxi brother.
The motorbike was speeding, Malik tried to call Dora's number but it was not active. Arriving at Dora's house, Malik got down and stopped for a moment. He caught his breath and knocked on Dora's door. The door opened, Dora's mother came out.
"Assalamualaikum aunty, do you have Tan?" asked Malik.
Mama Dora looked at Malik in surprise.
"Isn't Dora currently studying Lik? This morning her father brought her, she said there was a quiz so she had to go quickly."
"Oh, so it's not there, Auntie, then Malik excuse me. Later when Dora comes home, please tell Malik, Auntie!" Mama Dora nodded still with a confused face.
Malik walked out of Dora's yard. He was confused about where to find Dora. Malik tried to call Dora's number again, but still not active.
"Dora, I'm sorry brother!" he whispered in his heart.
------------------
Dora wiped her tears, Dora was disappointed that Malik was almost the same as Ridho.
"So where is this, Ma'am?" asked the taxi driver.
"Hmm, just go to the Berkah Orphanage, sir," he answered.
The taxi drove to take Dora who was sad, she was going home. But she is still emotional and Dora doesn't want to talk to her mother with emotion. Mama said talking while not feeling good, could hurt other people's hearts later. Dora went to the orphanage, met Umi and her sisters there, maybe it could calm her heart.
"Sir, can you stop for a moment? I want to buy a cake first." The taxi stopped, Dora got off and immediately entered the cake shop.
Two boxes of brownies are enough for the brothers there, he thought. The taxi drove back to the orphanage.
"Assalamualaikum Umi, why is it so quiet where are Mi's brothers?"
"Waalaikumsalam, Dora, isn't it class time? How come you are here, are you skipping?" asked Salmah to welcome Dora's arrival.
"Ehmm yes Mi, after the quiz, Dora was lazy to study. So come here. Miss Umi." Dora replied.
"Don't skip school often, Ra, sorry for your papa and mama."
"Yes Mi, promise not again." Dora's promise.
Salmah smiled, stroking Dora's long hair. Umi knows that Dora must be in trouble. And Umi also knows that Dora will never want to tell her any problems she is facing. Dora has a mother whom Dora always uses as a place to complain.
"What do you bring, every time you come here you always bring something. Isn't it a pity that your money has run out, Ra?"
"No Mi, Dora doesn't feel lost. In fact, Dora is happy to see the younger siblings are happy to receive Dora's gift."
"You're a good girl Ra, if only we were my daughter-in-law." Umi thought.
"Why Mi?" "Hmm it's okay Ra. Let's eat!" invite Salmah.
Dora nodded, she really likes umi's cooking. Dora felt at home in the orphanage for a long time. Especially after the brothers came home from school. Dora played with them, until the afternoon when Dora had to go home. Mom must have been worried waiting for him to come home.
At first, Umi Salmah asked Dora to wait for Mufti to take her home. But Dora refused, she was tired just got home and was told to be a motorcycle taxi again. Dora chose to take a taxi instead.
----------
"Assalamualaikum Mama."
"Waalaikumsalam, come in Ra!"
Dora came in, took a shower, prayed and had dinner with mom. His father was out of town on duty in a week and just got home. They ate in silence, Mama knew that Dora was always in trouble. Silence, and no more talk. But mama knows that later Dora will tell her. After eating Dora cleaned their cutlery. Mom watches television in the living room.
