A Thousand Flowers
Chapters 20. Misrepresenting

Izzah. He didn't think Dimas would have such naive thoughts. How could the man think he was going to commit suicide just because he was walking over a guardrail that slightly jutted into the sea? That's a shallow thought, isn't it?

“Hah! Who said I wanted to kill myself?”

“Lah ... that was why did you walk on the guardrail?” Dimas gawking ***, don't understand.

“Hahaha .…” Izzah helplessly held back laughter looking at Dimas' expression.

Dimas is getting gawky. Izzah regained his senses and quickly covered his mouth with both hands, hiding the remnants of his laughter.

“Yes Allah, Mas .. I also know that suicide is sin and perpetrators remain in hell. I walked there instead of committing suicide, but practicing balance. Mumpung no chance, yes I wasted,” obviously Izzah felt guilty had caused Dimas misunderstanding. Dimas patting the jidat.

“You said dong from the beginning. So, I don't misunderstand and don't need to do things like that.” Dimas felt wrong.

“Alaaah! You perverted guy. Always looking for opportunities,” ledek Izzah.

“What? I'm not a pervert guy. I'm a good guy. It's still a good thing I tried to save you. You weird chick!” Dimas is upset and retorts Izzah.

“Oh yes? Your first impression is already perverted. Breadlocks!” spray Izzah.

Dimas immediately imagined his first meeting with Izzah. How he was so fascinated to look at the girl from the top of the tree branch, before finally falling down in shock to hear the screams of Izzah. Dimas was ashamed.

Izzah immediately blurred seeing Dimas glaring furiously. Dimas is after Izzah. Izzah continued to run and down to the beach, enjoying the soft sand of the beach.

Izzah looked back. When he saw Dimas was far behind, he stopped, sat down to put the shoes he had grabbed while running.

Breath Dimas panting. For a moment he stopped breathing, staring at Izzah far ahead.

“Crazy! Run Izzah fast. The girl was really full of surprises,” grumbled Dimas in the middle of his breath that was still wheezing. He did not know that Izzah was a former sprint runner and marathon while still in school.

“Izzaaah .. wait dong!” Dimas yelled out. Izzah just waved at Dimas.

Dimas surrender. He lay on the sand. Seeing that Izzah felt pity. He stepped into a small shop by the beach, buying mineral water.

Dimas still lay weak. He's really tired. Sweaty pouring.

Izzah came with two bottles of mineral water. As soon as I got near Dimas, Izzah smiled seeing Dimas still lying with his eyes closed.

Dimas was unaware of Izzah's presence. Long enough Izzah observed Dimas. Dimas was still motionless. Izzah started to worry.

“Mas ... drink first!” said Izzah offering a drink while sitting next to Dimas.

Dimas remained silent, pretending not to hear Izzah's words. A nosy idea popped into his head.

Seeing no response from Dimas, Izzah turned his head.

“Do not faint,” thought Izzah was a little anxious. But a moment later, he smiled cunningly.

“Hem .. don't-don't nih ngerjain.” Izzah suspected

“Ya already if you do not want. Good night to you!” Izzah.

Staggered dimas. In his heart he cussed, “Damn! Intentions to enjoy even dikerjain.”

Dimas opened his eyes, immediately sat down and grabbed the bottle of mineral water in Izzah's hands. Izzah smiled triumphantly. He sat down next to Dimas. Dimas and Izzah downed each drink straight from the mouth of the bottle.

Dimas wiped the water spills around his mouth with his right arm. Izzah looked at the ocean full of admiration. He always felt calm whenever he saw the blue sea that stretched.

After feeling fresher, Dimas took Izzah down the beach. Sometimes Dimas raises Izzah. Izzah ran away every time Dimas splashed water on his body because he didn't want to get wet.

Enjoy the beautiful beach atmosphere. Dimas takes Izzah to the restaurant. Only then did he drive Izzah home.

“Enter your number here!” dimas orders, thrusting his phone before Izzah sets his favorite alawat.

“Sorry, my number is off,” reject Izzah.

“Oh .…” Dimas just realized something.

“Ya. Just take it for you! I still have another phone,” he said later

“Not working, Mas. I don't need it,” reject delicate Izzah.

Disappointed dimas. He was not used to being rejected, but the girl had rejected him many times. The disappointment turned into anger. Dimas felt unappreciated.

“Then, how can I contact you if something happens with Kak Tiara?” tanya Dimas tried to keep his anger.

“I'm sure Kak Tiara will be fine. After all, I can contact Ki Daud. Hasn't he been the healer of the Mas family all this time?” izzah replied.

Dimas was getting upset, but didn't lose his mind.

“Ki Daud has no phone.” Dimas grunted, origin replied.

“Take it!” Finished saying that, Dimas dropped the phone just like that on Izzah's lap.

Izzah wanted to protest, but did not see a flash of anger in Dimas's eyes. He took the phone and kept it in his backpack reluctantly.

“Yes!" Dimas cheered in his heart. He managed to find a way to keep in touch with Izzah.

Dimas and Izzah arrive at Ki Daud's house ahead of the magrib.

“Assalamu’alaikum ..” Izzah said hello.

Naimah opened the door immediately. After saying thank you, Izzah stepped in without further ado to invite Dimas.

“Not stop by first, Den Dimas?” naimah said when she saw Dimas straight back into the car and start the engine.

“No, Bi. Thank ye. Next time only. Still no business,” refused Dimas politely, then left Ki Daud's house.

***

Izzah came out of the room to the dining room. Help Naimah prepare dinner.

Thirty minutes later, Izzah, Naimah and Jumali were already sitting at the dining table. Izzah did not see Ki Daud's presence. He was surprised, not usually Ki Daud missed dinner.

“Ki Daud to where, Bi. Tumben not eating together?” Izzah asked Naimah.

Naimah and Jumali exchanged looks. Makes Izzah even more astonished.

“S-bedtime. He does not like when his sleep is disturbed,” replied Naimah rather nervous.

Izzah felt something was strange. During his stay at Ki Daud's house, he had never seen Ki Daud have a habit of sleeping after magrib.

However, Izzah was too hesitant to ask any further. He chose to shut up and continued eating.

“Oh yes, Zah, later after eating, we chat in the living room yes,” pinta Jumali.

Izzah grew convinced that something must have gone wrong with Ki Daud. Jumali and Naimah's attitude looks awkward. Their faces are also very beautiful.

Izzah nodded, agreeing to Jumali's invitation. The dinner passed in silence.
