September Song
Her favorite month of year is coming. She doesn’t have any specific reasons beside that she was born in the same month. Maybe there is a correlation between her favorite number also, nine. September is coming, her month is coming.
It’s twenty minutes after midnight, they were still talking about anything. They are moving from Shophaus to 24-hour noodle store not far from there. Instant noodle would be nice in this kind of weather. She was flashback her memories to three hours before.
Right after he came to Shophaus, soaking wet, and she ordered hot chocolate and Pisang Goreng for him, they were talked about them.
“So, how did you end up here, drenched and all?”, she asked after back to the table.
“Oh, and I’m really sorry for didn’t coming last week. My boss asked me to join with him to the meeting, and I didn’t have your phone number. So... sorry about that.”, she continued.
“It’s okay. You know, truth to be told, I also didn’t come last week.”, he answered with a grind on his face. Two dimples appeared on each side of his cheek. Cute.
“What? How come?”, she is surprised.
“Well, believe it or not, I had a sudden meeting with my client. They were like a huge client who will hold a huge event on the last weekend. I was worried that you would waiting for me last week. But I’m glad you’re not.”, he said.
“I had a thought that you might be come tonight to this place. So, right after I finished my work, I rushed here and get rained on the way here.”, he continued.
She is smiling. There is this warm feeling when she heard his explanation. She knows that she shouldn’t feel that way. They are barely knew each other.
“Hey, why are you quiet all of sudden?”, he disrupted her stargazing.
“Nothing. I just think this coincidence is amazed me. Actually, I don’t believe in coincidence. There is no such thing. Everything that happen had been planed by Allah, even our meeting. But still, you know..”, she replied.
“I understand.”, he said.
They were in silence. He was enjoying his drink and snack while she was enjoying the music that played.
Our love was strong as a lion Soft as the cotton you lie in Times we got hot like an iron You and I
Our hearts had never been broken We were so innocent darling We used to talk 'til the morning You and I
We had the mixtape on every weekend Had it repeating, had it repeating
You were my September song, summer lasted too long Time moves so slowly, when you're only fifteen You were my September song, tell me where have you gone? Do you remember me, we were only fifteen
And I, I remember the chorus, they were singing it for us You were my September song, tell me where have you gone? Do you remember me, we were only fifteen.
Lately she knew that it was a song by JP Cooper. She wants to claim that song is her new September song themes.
She is learnt something from what just happened. Nothing is impossible if Allah’s will.
“Innama Amruhu Idza Arada Syaian An Yaqula Lahu Kun Fayakun” - (QS 36:82)
“His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.”
