"What's wrong?" Argan asked shortly after he landed his body in the steering chair.
Next to the man's eyebrows raised indicates that he who is confused about the response of the girl next to him, Grey who is silent with his face bent makes Argan feel strange.
"Is there something bad inside?" ask Argan back
"No" Grey replied briefly, turning his face toward the window
Knowing if the feeling of the person who was in one car with him was in a state of mood finally Argan began to turn on his car engine was about to drive away from the boutique.
This was not the nature of Grey before, being a person full of expression in just less than two months made the girl seem to forget about her own disposition. In his mind only a question that was always terbesit 'what's wrong with him?'.
It is difficult to cover what is felt if the character and behavior has been reconciled by others, changing a little will be a question of a lot of people around him. And that's what Grey is going through now.
Although not very responsive to every question or sentence from Argan, but in fact he heard clearly and understood what was said by the man.
His gaze only focused on the night sky that seemed to be getting dark, the cool breeze had pierced the skin to make a dim on his hand.
"Close the window, Grey!" Tell Argan to see how Grey rubbed his hands
There was no reply from Grey but his hands spontaneously followed the orders of the car owner.
"It's actually not strange that you act as quiet as usual," Argan paused, "Gue was just curious that something made you uncomfortable in the boutique earlier?" he continued asking while glancing at Grey
"Don't think anything, '" replied Grey flatly
Argan only smiled faintly in response to Grey's reply, though dissatisfied with what he had heard but at least the girl was now willing to speak.
God's plan is no one knows, when you want to plan smoothness then God gives a meaningful opportunity. Only a fraction of a minute after Argan told Grey to close the window because the night wind was so cold, but suddenly the sound of lightning accompanied by a torrent of rain soaked the earth.
"Armghhh..!" Grey squealed in shock with both hands attached to his ears and eyes that closed tightly.
Lightning from lightning seen from the windshield makes Grey impulsively curled towards Argan until the man spontaneously stopped his car, fortunately, Argan just drove his car slowly because he anticipated if the rain suddenly fell.
"Ar, I want to go home!" shirih Grey
"Yeah, Grey. We're going home, you calm down." Argan tries to win Grey over while his hand rubs the girl's shoulder
The only son of Raufan was back to drive his car but only a few meters away drove nature back to play with him, the sky seemed not to make him get home quickly.
"W-What's up, Ar?" Ask Grey
The man let out a rough sigh as his car came to a sudden stop, several times he tried to start the engine but his efforts were meaningless.
Argan turned to Grey and shook his head. "Break" he said briefly
"Are you kidding me?" Grey appears to have slumped his shoulder
"Gue seriously," said Argan with a pretty convincing face, "This is Dad's car, and I've never used this car before so I don't know if it's going to be this good," obviously Argan leaned back
"Ah shit..!" His grunt when looking at his phone that meyala but can not be used to make calls because the battery power is only a few percent left
"Why?" Grey is increasingly upset to hear Argan's grumbling, clearly he knows that the problem is not over and that it is compounded by him also forgetting his phone. "My phone left me at home" she said before Argan asked
Hearing Grey's words made Argan bite his lips upset, this was the first time he was in such a situation especially his phone which was also the first time he did not notice the battery power.
"Th.."
Argan who was called his name turned his head, his eyes suddenly sad to see the face of the child of Arum who was full of worry and fear.
He confronts Grey and raises both hands to hold Grey's slumped shoulder.
"Don't worry, we'll be home soon" said Argan gently trying to calm down with a hand rubbing Grey's shoulder.
The girl in white nodded obediently, for the time being she had to trust the man in front of her.
"Lo wait here, I'm gonna go out for a minute and get help." Tell Argan to take his hand off Grey's shoulder
"Aarghhhhh.." The sound of lightning was so welcome that Grey quickly pulled Argan's hand open the door.
"Ar, I'm afraid" he said
Seeing Grey like this undo his intention to come out, it was first for him to see Grey in a state of fear that was completely apparent from his sweet face, she said, Argan smiled softly and then brought his body closer and pulled Grey in his arms.
Too many firsts for Argan tonight and that coupled with Grey returning his embrace is no less tight.
"Ar, I'm afraid," said Grey
"Lo don't be afraid, I'm here!" For the umpteenth time Argan tried to appease Grey.
The beautiful-looking man raised his hand and rubbed Grey's head gently, the memory of the first time he met the baby Grey was immediately twisted in his brain.
Grey who immediately asked to be carried when little Argan just came home from school, as well as Argan who immediately liked the little Grey. That moment was the reason Argan wanted a little sister.
The hour-long meeting was so memorable for Argan, being an older brother in a day made her happy and had made her whine to both her parents when Grey and her family returned to her grandmother's village and it made little Argan cry for a full day.
And now, in different circumstances and at different times but with the same person, that feeling comes back, a happy feeling that is clearly different from the feeling of a few years ago.
Well, Grey's face that was drowning in his arms made the man smile thinly, though, although in a precarious state like this but it is undeniable if he is happy because indirectly he knows that both then and now the little girl is still comfortable in his arms.
"Grey?" Feeling no movement from the girl in his arms made Argan bow his head trying to peek at Grey's face.
Argan smiled and then rubbed back the top of Grey's head when he got the girl to sleep comfortably in his arms.
"Cheat, Grey!" whispered Argan while kissing the top of Grey's head
