A Handful of Love for You
36. A date?

Alena POV's

“Where are you going? Want to escape?” the accusation.

“No!”

“Why do you want to go alone. I told you I was waiting downstairs. Why did you leave me?”

“So I was looking for you from the basement of the building to the parking lot, but I didn't see you. Yeah, I thought you were gone and cancelled your lunch plans,”.

I saw him seem to think of something.

“Oh, someone invited me to talk first. Maybe you don't see me because it hindered others.”

“Means if you talk to beautiful women do not forget the same around. Do not feel that the world belongs to you two alone,” I replied annoyed.

“Eh, who is chatting with perempu... ooh, you are jealous huh?”

“Do not fantasize! Who is jealous?” I don't accept the accusation.

Who is jealous? Jealousy is a sign of love. Who is in love with him? You little guy bummer. What sin did I meet and know a guy like him?

“We ride my motor only.”

He pulled my hand towards the motor park.

“No need to pull hands all. Release!” I tried to get my hand out of his hands.

“Fear of escaping again.” He clasped my hand even tighter.

“Not going to escape. Release!” I held my hand out of his grasp.

My hand finally slipped out of his grasp. He looked at me and I looked back at him.

“Nih, wear the helmet.”

He put a helmet on me. Damn it, he could have taken me on a bike with a makeup like this. Didn't he realize I was dressed like this?

I looked at the helmet without any desire to wear it.

“Sini!”

He took back his helmet and put it on my head.

“Eh,”

“You have never been on a motorcycle and wear a helmet?

“Not so..”

“Or are you ashamed we went on a motorbike ride?” tanyanya sharp.

“Not so, but..”

“Later we will often ride the motor. You have to get used to.”

“Haah..”.

"Who would want to go with a cowboy like you. You little guy over pede," I'm in my heart.

Then he turned on the bike and told me to get on.

“Quick up and hold on if you don't want to fall.”

I obeyed his orders immediately climbed into the motorcycle seat and held on to the iron behind the seat.

“Hold my waist!” his orders.

“No need. I grip to the back of the seat.”

“Ya already, it's up to you. But if you fall don't blame me.”

I hit him on the back from being annoyed by his words from earlier.

“Quick the road and don't fuss. I can take care of myself.”

We got to our destination after 30 minutes. Quite far away is also the distance of the campus with the cafe where we had lunch.

“Why just for lunch we have to travel a long way? Around campus there are also many good places to eat,” my protest.

“Here the view is beautiful. You must like it. You workers refreshing so as not to stress with the burden of your work and also not often angry with me.”

He pulled back and grabbed my hand.

“Can't you if you don't have to pull my hand? Just show me the way, I follow you from behind.”

It seemed like he didn't listen to me, proving he didn't let go of my hand.

Ah, nevermind. I'm just following his will rather than a commotion again. I've been tired of arguing with him ever since.

“Beautiful,” lirihku when seeing the scenery from the top floor.

“What I said. Here, the view is beautiful. You must like.”

I'm nodding.

“You like?”

“Ya.”

“We sit here only,” take him.

We sat near the guardrail.

“What do you want to order?” he gave me the menu book.

“What food is special here?” ask me while flipping through the menu book.

“You just choose whatever you like. The food here is all good.”

I was still looking through the menu and confused choosing.

“If you are confused, I can recommend foods you might like.”

“What?” my many.

“Sup ribs burn good if you like. Here all the menu of traditional food and no western food such as steak or what is food from outside.”

“Yes already, I ordered iga burn only.”

I no longer care about the food menu because my stomach is starving. I am not a picky eater, if I am hungry anything I can eat halal and can be eaten.

After waiting for a while, our order was placed on the table.

He ordered the same menu as me. Bake it with warm fresh tea water. The menu is simple but the price is not simple. I see the price of a portion is already quite expensive. Will he be able to pay for both of our orders? I'm not underestimating him, but he just graduated and doesn't have a job yet. I'm just worried.

I saw the waiter delivering our order nodding respectfully at him. Does the waiter know him? It's up to me whether he knows me or not. Now it's time for me to fill my stomach with food that looks delicious and tempting.

We eat quietly. It seemed like he was starving as well to the point of finishing his meal quickly.

“What food do you want to order again?” he asked after I devoured my last feed.

I'm shaking.

“Many good snacks here. We're still here a long time. So if you want nyemil, just order.”

“Ngapain long-time here? I thought we were going home after finishing our meal. I still have a lot of work.”

“Do not lie. You no longer have class, right?”

“No class does not mean I have no other work,” I replied annoyed.

“Don't be too tired to work. You're here first. Enjoy the view here.”

“Difficult to talk to you.” I snorted in annoyance.

Although I was upset by his talk but it turns out he was right. The view here is beautiful, baby for just a moment. According to what he said, I really enjoyed the natural beauty that was emblazoned beautifully before me.

After enjoying the beauty of nature, I took her home.

“Let's go home, it's afternoon.”

“Ya.”

Tumben doesn't argue with me. Usually he won't accept what I say.

“We first pray here. After the prayer, I will take you straight to the apartment. Your car lives on campus. Tomorrow morning I'll pick you up.”

“Can't!”

“Can!” said firmly.

Because I'm tired, I'll do what he wants. After all, it is also futile if I argue with him who is stubborn because he will definitely force his will. Instead of spending energy on something futile I would rather just give up.

Azan Magrib's time almost reverberated when we arrived at my apartment.

“Tomorrow I'll pick you up. Don't resist and don't run away!”

“No need. Tomorrow I take an online taxi.”

“I told you that I will take you to campus.”

“Serah!” I answered while handing over the helmet and turned straight towards the entrance of the apartment building.
