Part 22
Then Malik left Alisa who was still dumbfounded by Malik's words. "I'll make you regret it, Lik. We'll see!" Alisa hissed with a flushed face with anger.
------------------------
"Hmm, what's the problem until you submit this resignation letter, Lik?" asked Yanwar, Alisa's uncle and owner of the company where Malik has worked so far.
"There are no problems at the office, sir. I just don't fit in with Alisa's interference in my career and life." Yanwar nodded, he had indeed heard rumors about Malik's close relationship with his niece Alisa.
"Even though your performance is good you know, I like your professionalism. Did you fight with Alisa?" Malik nodded silently.
"Quote between dating people are common, Lik, I know Alisa is spoiled. You have to be patient with her!" said Yanwar.
"Dating? We're not dating, uncle. I already have a boyfriend in Medan. Alisa knows that too."
"You see, but Alisa said you are special close friends. You've been close since you were in college until now." Malik shook his head, could not understand Alisa's behavior.
Without thinking, Malik told all of Alisa's behavior so far, where she managed Malik's life as well as Alisa's interference with her relationship with Dora. In the end, Yanwar granted Malik's wish to quit his job. That same day Malik took care of all his work files. He did not want to linger in this office any longer.
He also did not want to see Alisa again. Arriving at the rental, Malik intends to contact Dora. But the number is not active. Even though Malik wanted to explain everything to Dora.
"Okay, Dora waits for my brother to come home tomorrow, okay!" he said in his heart.
-----------------
Dora got off the motorcycle taxi in front of her house. Today he felt very tired.
"Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam," Mom answered and it seemed like a male voice answered her greeting.
Dora entered the house and how surprised she was when she found out who answered her greeting earlier.
"Bang Malik, when are you coming?" asked Dora.
"Since this afternoon, Ra, my brother went to campus and said that Dora had gone home," Malik replied.
"Dora went to the orphanage, Salmah's mum is a bit unwell," Dora said.
"Dora also has a habit of leaving her cellphone, Mom also wanted to call, apparently Dora's cellphone is in the room." Dora's mother said.
"Yes, Mom, I forgot to charge it last night so the phone turned off. Dora just stays."
Mama came into the room, leaving Dora and Malik in the living room. Malik looked at Dora who was sitting casually in front of him.
"Dora, I'm sorry brother. You know that you have made a fatal mistake. Dora wants to forgive you, right."
"Hmm yes, Dora forgive a brother."
"Alhamdulillah, I know that Dora will understand. My dear brother," Malik was surprised when Dora slapped her hand that wanted to touch Dora's nose as usual.
"Why is Ra, Dora still angry?" asked Malik in surprise.
"No!" answered Dora without a smile.
"Then, why Ra?" Dora got up from her seat and walked toward the door.
Dora opened the door and motioned for Malik to leave the house. Malik stood up confused, but he also stood up and walked over to Dora. Dora let Malik out with a hand gesture.
"Ra." "Dora forgives you, but Dora doesn't want to see your face again forever."
"But Ra," Malik was confused by Dora's words.
"Dora is sleepy, please come home!"
"But brother still loves and cares for you Ra?"
"Dora no, sorry bro. It's better if you find another girl. Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam."
With unsteady steps, Malik left Dora's house. Tomorrow he will see Dora again. He was sure that Dora would forgive and accept him back. Dora was just still annoyed, he thought.
-----------------------
Malik has repeatedly tried to meet Dora, but Dora seems to be avoiding him. The last time Malik came to his house, Dora was away for KKN activities. Malik almost gave up, not to mention he had to find a job. How many law offices has he submitted applications to, but so far there has been no job called for him.
"Assalamualaikum, Malik where are you again?" a message came into Malik's cellphone.
"Waalaikumsalam, malik is on the road, uncle. Where are you again?" Malik replied to Uncle Said.
Uncle Said is his mother's youngest sister. Om Said has been working as a cook on a luxury yacht. He's been around the world on that yacht.
"Uncle is in the village. You're not home Lik, I miss you."
"Yes Om, tomorrow Malik will come home. Wait, Om!"
----------------
"Assalamualaikum," said Malik.
"Waalaikumsalam, ehh Malik. How are you, bro?" Bayu was surprised to see the arrival of his friend Malik.
"Okay, how are you doing Bay?" asked Malik.
"Alhamdulillah, this has just finished harvesting the last oranges."
Malik noticed that Bayu's employee was lifting several baskets of oranges into a pick-up car. After finishing college, Bayu opened a legal consultant in his village and helped his father take care of their family's orchard.
"How is the problem with Dora, is it over?" Bayu asked startling Malik who was daydreaming.
"Not yet Bay, I mean I've apologized and tried to explain the problem to Dora. But it seems Dora doesn't want to take me back." Bayu sighed hearing that.
"Besides, how come you can just go along with what Alisa Lik says?" asked Bayu again.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I trust him too much. Or maybe I'm too stupid."
"So what now, what are your plans for the future?"
"I'll go with my uncle sailing the Bay," Malik answered slowly.
"Sailing, are you sure Lik?" asked Bayu. Malik nodded emphatically, his eyes far away.
"I want to change my future. Who knows I can achieve success later." Malik said confidently.
"Then Dora?"
"In the meantime, let's put it this way. If we are indeed a match, Dora will also be mine. That's why I came here Bay, I entrust Dora. Take care of her, and help her if she is in trouble." Malik's message.
Bayu looked at his friend without saying anything. Then he nodded with a smile.
