This new year has finally arrived. The year that Irsyad said had to be paid by vacationing together, to make up for the holidays that were not implemented because of Irsyad's neglect.
They decided to visit Kila's parents' house. Irsyad hasn't seen them in a long time. He also wanted to say that he graduated in less than five years.
Today is their second day of stay. As usual, Kila's parents were both so busy. They could only allow Kila and Irsyad to enter the house, then continue working again. Irsyad so not able to berkilaturahim with the in-laws because of busy.
"Crazy, you don't want to go for a walk?" ask the neat Irsyad. He always dressed neatly at Riska's parents' house. Likewise with Kila who always dressed neatly, hoping to be able to invite Irsyad dating. But, now he was lucky because Irsyad who first provoked a chat about the streets, will likely end up with a date, thought Kila.
"Streetings, huh? Yes, too, brother. At the bosen house. It's neat, too. Play to the mall, yuk, sister," suggested Kila.
"Ke mall is just a walk, right?" ask Irsyad to make sure. Not the Irsyad type for a walk to the mall. He only went to the mall to accompany his mother to buy boarding children's equipment, sometimes if Citra was lazy to go, Irsyad himself went to spend it.
"Like most people, Iha. We go for a walk, watch, eat, go to the bookstore, hang out, that's the point, sister," replied Kila posing like counting.
"It looks so young, doesn't it? I'm old, I don't deserve to do it all" Irsyad said.
"Not only young people, really, who already have children have grandchildren have great-grandchildren so usually the activities. Besides, Irsyad's still young, you know. Because Kila said about the hobby of drinking bitter tea that is like his hobby parents, Kak Irsyad immediately like it, consider that he is old. Brother's face is young, you know. No one knows if his older brother is thirty years from the look of this big brother," Kila explained.
"Actually I am still twenty-nine years old, Kila," Irsyad said in the most important part of Kila's speech.
"Geez, sorry, sister. Kila thought because it was eight years different from the age of Kila--," said Kila hanging. Afraid that he might have to say the wrong thing again.
"How old are you?" asked Irsyad because of the awkwardness Kila connected his words.
"Twenty-one years, sister," replied Kila.
"Your birthday is March three, right?" ask Irsyad again.
"Yes. Why, Brother?" ask Kila back.
"I was born on the thirtyth of March, our birth month is the same. For now I still counted twenty-nine years until thirty March will arrive," explained Irsyad.
"Yes Rabb... Why did Kila just find out, Brother?" asked Kila in a surprised tone at the fact
"No problem, the important thing is that you now know," Irsyad replied calmly.
"Yes, don't worry about age. I think all women are very sensitive about their age, and so am I even though I am not a woman. Importantly, for now I am still twenty-nine, not yet a three-head. Haha. Let's walk now!" exciting Irsyad.
"Loh, are we going to the mall, brother?" ask Kila who is getting confused.
"of course. You said I was young, right? So, I thought, why not do things at the mall like you said?" answer Irsyad with a question.
"But if not Kila said, things are so Kila said if not just young people who do not do it," said Kila explained his previous remarks.
Listening to the straightforward words from Irsyad made Kila a little misbehaved. And again, Irsyad even took Kila's hand to hold. Kila can only follow the flow of Irsyad if this is the case. Smile expands on Kila's lips, her desire to date Irsyad can be realized this time.
...****************...
Arriving at the mall, they were already in a restaurant after having time to watch and go to the bookstore. Kila no longer hesitated to order a lot of food in front of Irsyad. After all, Irsyad already knows his hobby of eating Kila.
"Eat you greedily, Kila. Until you are not aware there are food stains on your cheeks," said Irsyad on the sidelines of their eating activities. Irsyad did not talk too much with Kila because the condition of the restaurant was not conducive. Let them finish their meal first and talk about things later.
Kila who heard Irsyad's statement began to feel his cheeks. Feeling cheeks near the lips like stained, he also rubbed the stain. He looked at his hand that had rubbed the stain and there was no stain on the cheek that he had wiped. And so it continued until the third time. Irsyad was anxious to see that, but he enjoyed it.
"Not that one, but this one." Then Irsyad immediately cleaned the stain on Kila's cheek.
"Thank you, sister," said Kila slightly blushed.
"Yes, you're welcome." The right answer from thanks. Because actually Irsyad is also grateful for Kila's carelessness. He can mode to touch Kila's cheek.
After eating, they decided to stop longer at the restaurant chatting a lot of things that had not been talked about during the meal.
Irsyad talked about something that made him stay away from Kila when he had done good to Kila by lending her a jacket. The conversation they had delayed due to the preparation to go to Kila's parents' house.
In detail, Irsyad explained why he had stayed away from Kila at that time. Irsyad's growing feelings towards the individual of his creation made Irsyad forget his love for its creator. Everything that happened when Kila was shunned by Irsyad was purely because of that alone. Initially, Kila began to feel inferior to Irsyad's piety when telling it. But, he remembered the words of his two friends who strengthened him at that time. Kila also felt that her fear had improved since marrying someone who was so scared like Irsyad. Despite the motivation of the charge at that time to compensate Irsyad But, now the piety is sincere and because of God alone.
"Sister, it's like papa Kila, deh," said Kila who saw someone like Gilang.
"Which one?" ask Irsyad.
"Two people just sat there. That table was empty, right? Well, just filled it like papa, sister," point Kila.
"Ooh, that's right. Wow, what a coincidence to meet here. Let's go to him both" Irsyad replied.
"Both you?" ask Kila wonder.
"Papa Gilang came with women, right? It was definitely Mama Riska. Let's go!" exciting Irsyad.
"No, Brother. My mom is not like her stature. Who's coming, huh?" kila wondered. The woman was taller than her mother, and her body was also more shaped even though her clothes were wrapped in hijab.
"Do we need to get closer to papa to find the truth?" irsyad.
"I don't think so, brother. Later papa is aware and even impressed to disturb papa if papa did meet with his client here. We're watching from here, brother."
"Well, it seems like it was indeed the best idea," Irsyad replied in agreement.
