56. Suddenly Emergence of Ex-Boyfriend of the Late Brother

I just came down the stairs with a gawking expression as if I could not believe what I had just heard.  My beloved woman has just praised me as cute and innocent!  Imagining the situation again, I couldn't help but cheer internally on my happiness.

For the first time, I listened to my adored woman praise me.  Well, even though I'd actually rather be hailed as the male or masculine type of man.  But that's okay, even I'm very very very very happy because it came from the lips of my beloved woman.

“Hehehehehe.”  I can't help my happy laugh.

I can still vividly remember the voice of Nafisah who called my name with her soft voice.  Plain and cute?  It seems that I have a lot to learn both of those things so that I can increase my value in the presence of my adored woman.

But I can't think of this as a green light that there is hope for Nafisah to like me too?  I need to be more confident.  Yeah, that's right!  Spirit, myself!

Without me knowing, apparently I had provoked the attention of people around me for laughing and smiling themselves in the middle of the road with a strange look.  I could clearly see the gazes of those people with slightly disgusted expressions on their faces.

I who finally realized with the attention around me, then immediately corrected my expression while spreading a weak laugh to return the gaze and then rushed to leave the place while holding my shame.

However, when I was walking for a few steps, without me expecting it, a woman suddenly approached me.

From behind, the woman greeted, “Anu, is it true you are Dik Adrian?”

I turned around to look at the woman's face.  Apparently, she was a young woman who seemed to be the same age as me with a very beautiful and classy look.  Her dressings are inconspicuous, but it is easily predictable that she comes from a conglomerate family.

“What is this rich lady suddenly greeting me?”  I murmured in my heart.

For a moment I was silent, looking at what had happened while trying to look around in my memory about whether I had met this woman before.  If he called me Little Sister, does that mean this young-looking woman is actually older than me?  In that case, she is quite ageless and I would not have missed this ageless beautiful woman in my memory had we ever met.

Just one explanation, we have never met.  Does that mean this woman misidentified me with someone?  But he said my name, Adrian.  Little chance that he's wrong.  I'm the only person named Adrian in this faculty who has a handsome face.

Feeling unfamiliar with the woman, I asked, “Who is it?”

“Dik Adrian no longer recognize me?”  I'm Selantri, Faridh's ex-girlfriend.  I used to play at your house a lot.  Adrian seems to have forgotten yes?”  Looking disappointed, the young lady looked at me with teary-eyed expressions.

I then did a flashback in my brain about my old days.  I also actually found the figure of the woman in my memory fragment.  He was the one who used to fill the niche in the heart of my brother Faridh, Selantri Widiasarja.

But what is this?  I know that this Brother is beautiful, but not as beautiful as Nafisah.  But beyond that, it turns out that this Brother can be quite young.  If not wrong, my brother's last girlfriend's age is 3 years older than him.  That means, the age of Selantri in front of me is around 26 years.

However, even though he has entered the age in his twenties, it has not been seen at all the first signs of wrinkles as a sign of the growth of adult women.  His face was still chewy like he was in his early twenties.

I saw the young lady's mouth twitch in a smile.

“Thank you, Adrian.  It turns out that you are still the same as in my memory, a child, no, now you are already a big huh so it is worth mentioning as a young man?  The kind young man.  You have grown well, Dik Adrian.”  Selantri said to me with a gentle smile.

“Thank you again Brother.”  I said with a smile.

“So, what are you doing here?  There are still about 45 minutes before my school hours.  I can take Brother to where Brother wants to go.”  I went straight to the point to offer my help to Brother Selantri.

“Oh, I'm here to see you, Adrian.  I found out about your whereabouts through Syifa.  I have something to give you.”  Said Kak Selantri while looking groggy the contents of his bag.  Ah, do not-don't, the woman that was meant by Kak Syifa who was looking for us to give something is this Kak Selantri.

“This is Faridh's diary.  Incidentally, while we were dating, we exchanged diaries together.  Who would have guessed that such an ill-fated thing would happen to Kang Mas Faridh.  As his family, I thought it might be more appropriate to leave this to you guys.”  Said Brother Selantri once again, this time with a very sad tone.

“It has been five years since his departure.  I think it's time I forgot about it.  Hiks...hiks...” Kak Selantri tried to say again.  Suddenly, her tears could no longer be blocked.  She was crying so much, maybe beyond her wishes she recalled the memories with my brother Faridh.

I stroked Selantri's back to calm her down.  Actually, I really want to accompany Brother Selantri who is in this unstable condition.  But what a power, I had to go to college immediately and now are the key moments of graduation assessment.  I can't just skip class.

“Lho, what's the matter with his Brother crying, Adrian?”  But suddenly Nafisah was back in front of me.

Fearing that Nafisah would misunderstand me, I quickly explained, “Oh, she is the ex-boyfriend of my late sister Faridh, Nafisah.  He came to me just to say something about my brother Faridh.  We have nothing to do.  He cried probably because we mentioned about Kak Faridh's past.”

I tried to explain it as calmly as possible because the panic would only attract more suspicion.  Of course it is true that the ageless woman before me had nothing to do with me other than just my late brother Faridh's ex-girlfriend.

I see, the expression of Nafisah is flat.  Whatisthis?  At least I expected him to show a slightly jealous expression.  Does this mean that Nafisah has no romantic feelings for me and only thinks of me as a friend?  I also feel disappointed.

Then again I heard Breath say, “Then let me accompany his brother Adrian.  He seems to be currently unable to be left alone.  I'll take her to the student discussion room to calm her down.  You go to class there, it's late.  It's a time of assignment and a quiz for assessment, right?  Don't let you don't graduate because you missed his class.”

Dewi pujaanku Nafisah, indeed a hearted figure of an angel.  He will never leave anyone in distress.  By being under the watchful eye of Nafisah, I was able to freely leave Kak Selantri for a while.

“Thank you, Nafisah.  I'll pick him up again soon after college.  Incidentally, it seems that there is something that Brother Selantri would like to talk to me about.  Before that, I leave Brother Selantri to you yes, Nafisah.”  I said with a smile trying to look handsome in front of Nafisah.

“OK, Adrian.”  Reply Nafisah while returning my smile with a smile that is very vibrating heart that really reflects the figure of the goddess of my worship.
