ATIQA
Chapter 12: Getting Closer

"Thank you for nganterin. Malem, go home. Tomorrow do not be late to pick him up" said Atiqah after getting off the Ardi motorbike.

"Can I go to the toilet? kebelet nih" Ardi opened his full face helmet.

"May" Atiqah nodded, entering into the porch of the house.

tock.tok.

"Dek, this is mba. Are you sleeping?" Atiqah knocked on her door. I heard footsteps. "Awhile..." Robi snaps from inside. He fell asleep in front of the television.

"Sorry deck..Have you eaten?" ask Robi when the door is opened.

"Udah, I bought fried rice pakdhe Man. How's mba?" robi replied, his gaze towards Ardi who stood leaning against the terrace pillar.

"Father has been moved to a hospital room. Tumben pakdhe Man roving. Usually in the front post. This is temen mba. Go to the bathroom. You slept there again" pushed Robi into the house, into her room. Ardi.

"Which toilet is it?" tanya Ardi was right behind Atiqah who had just closed the door of his sister's room.

"I-it" Atiqah was nervous because her face was so close to Ardi's face.

"OK..." Ardi headed for the bathroom in the corner next to the kitchen. A simple house with three bedrooms, a living room that blends with the television room, dining room, kitchen and one bathroom.

Atiqah sits in the dining room, a room close to the bathroom. Waiting Ardi.

"Udah?" atiqah asked when Ardi had just opened the bathroom door.

"Udah.." he answered nearing Atiqah. Ardi's stomach rang. Honestly, he was hungry. Had not been able to fill the stomach, minumpun not.

"You're laper?" Ardi grimaced, nodding. "I made you some boiled noodles, will you?" bargained for.

"You.mau..if there are eggs just as vegetables can also" grimaced at Atiqah.

"Okay, wait here. Just sit. Oh yes..pake chili?" ask Atiqah again.

"By, two. Don't do much, my stomach is troubled" Ardi still looked at Atiqah, until he turned around and focused on cooking boiled noodles for her.

It took 10 minutes, two servings of boiled noodles had Atiqah put on the dining table.

"Cook eaten?! I'm sorry it's a bit long" giving her a spoon and fork, Ardi accepted.

"No, I'm patiently waiting" smiled sweetly.

Atiqah and Ardi enjoy their dinner together, although it is not a romantic and luxurious dinner in the style of a restaurant or cafe, for them is enough. The two are not a couple.

Ardi's face was sweating, sweat spots on his forehead. Her lips are red.

"Geez.I'm sorry, I forgot to grab a drink. Just a moment" Atiqah opened the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of cold milk. "It's a drink first" put in front of Ardi's bowl.

"Cock milk?" Ardi is not ordinary, he wants cold water.

"Susu can relieve the spicy taste. Try first" Ardi accepted Atiqah's advice. Sucking with a pipette until the toilet is not left.

"Well, is there more? uh. bener. The sense of pain is gone" Ardi was amazed by what he had just felt. The spicy taste of burning his mouth disappeared after drinking the milk.

"Gosh...You just found out? he said the student was smart and exemplary, the chairman of the osis again. Ckckck" ledek Atiqah.

"Nobody is perfect atiqah" he said.

"Cih.alesan" raised his bowl and Ardi's.

Ardi was still staring at the back of Atiqah who was washing the dishes. His heart is racing a little fast. Wanted to hug Atiqah from behind but he realized, they were nothing. Still just a friend.

"Yes not papa, it's too malem" Atiqah wiped her wet hands with a rag. Take Ardi to the terrace.

"I'm home first" waved his hand.

"Yes, be careful on the road" returned Ardi's hand. Atiqah wants to say if it has arrived, contact immediately. But his tongue is a tongue. Who am I, Atiqah thought.

It was as if the universe was siding with Atiqah. Ardi sends a message with terminated emoticons 😘. Atiqah hugged her phone while rolling right and left. I'm fucking crazy. Because of the emoticons, I'm crazy. Gosh darn.

📩 I have arrived. tomorrow I pick up. good nite, sleep tight. dream me yes. ATIQAHKU 😘

*****

Atiqah restlessly waited for the morning, waiting for Ardi to come pick her up. Atiqah only sleeps for 4 hours. The feeling of dizziness in his head slightly interferes with morning activities.

"She, eat some bread. Mba dizzy nih" Atiqah opened the bakery in the kitchen. Bring some sheets and he put them on his brother Robi's plate.

"My husband mba" Robi asked for her favorite white milk.

"Yes this, for a moment" Atiqah stirred a glass filled with white milk for her sister. "Nih.." give me one glass of milk. "Entar you go first. Mba with temen. He'll pick her up" gobble up strawberry jam bread.

"The semalem? mba's girlfriend, huh?" search Robi. Because only this time there is a brother friend of his brother who came to pick him up.

"Ssttt.still little boyfriends. He's the mba. He's the one who helped us, pay all the hospital fees of the father" Atiqah did not want his sister to think of all sorts.

"The rich man's son must be. The motor is really cool. Later if I'm already big, I want a rich bike also have a mba theme" his eyes sparkle talking about Ardi's big motorbike.

"Yes the rich man's son. Therefore study diligently so smart work trus dapet money a lot, buy deh that motor of your dreams. Never ask for it with your mother! trying on his own deck" his younger brother Robi nodded in agreement. Robi is a type of understanding child, he never demands on his parents.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded. "That's like meen mba already came. Did you finish your breakfast? bring the bags"

"Yes yes.sabar kali mba" grumbled Robi.

Sure enough, Ardi stood in front of the door with his new uniform and a maroon and black jacket. His smile rose like the morning sun, mesmerizing Atiqah.

"I'm leaving first mba. Don't skip the courtship, huh?! I'll tell my mother" said Robi directly go out of the terrace. His eyes occasionally glanced at the big motor Ardi.

"Daughter?" his forehead crept.

"Do not listen to my adek. Kids love to talk about ngawur. I'm leaving now" Atiqah pulled Ardi's arm.

The big motorbike buzz sounded quite loud around the Atiqah home environment. Ardi drove his motorcycle towards the school. Without needing many words, Atiqah had already embraced her. The yellow cardigan adds to the sweet look of the Atiqah this morning.

It turns out that the disaster can bring the closeness of the two of them. Hard heart and attitude jutek Atiqah melt instantly. For him, if a man is good with his parents, it is certainly good also his behavior.

Without Ardi knowing, he is now able to shake the heart of Atiqah. Fill a little heart of his class sister who he pursued desperately.

"The ardi? The atiqah?" Echa was surprised to see the man she had loved since Junior High was in a relationship with Atiqah. From inside the car, Echa clenched her hand. Grumpy, irritated mixed into one.

"You know them? oh yeah.they're at school with you. Yesterday my father accidentally bumped his father Atiqah out of your anter to school. Good thing Ardi helped me. All the hospital fees are also paid for Nak Ardi. Fortunately, the boss is not angry with the father, even though the front bumper is dented" explained Mr. Hartono at length. Echa rolled her eyes at the story her father had just told her.

Seriate....
