5. Seed of Love

Adhan Fajr has been reverberating. I who usually built mother this time woke up alone because of hearing the sound of Adhan. I got out of bed and stretched my muscles. 

I didn't shower with my phone. Curious about Zaki's birthday party photos last night. I've been following Zaki secretly for a long time but not with a real account name.

"The rich man's birthday is different."

I stopped at some Poto that turned out to be Sinta there. Even Sinta held Zaki's hand with a happy laugh. A little upset indeed if you remember his attitude last night but I do not want to find trouble and will bother my parents.

I'm constantly scrolling Zaki's Instagram. And I saw Poto Hanan there. They held each other's shoulders while raising orange juice. They look so familiar. Seems friendly a long time ago.

"Adelia it's time to wake up, son." Mom knocked on the room door.

Turns out I was too pampered about Zaki until I forgot the time. 

"Yes, Ma'am Adel is awake"

I also took a shower and worship. Prepare for school supplies. This time I don't wear hair or clothespins. I let my shoulder-length hair unravel because it's still a little wet too.

I went down the stairs and greeted my parents.

"For Dad" emmbhh "morning Mom" emmbhh

"Mom's Tumben is also kissed usually just Dad." My mother complained that she would start a commotion in the morning.

"Dicium protests not kissed also protest trs want Mom what the hell?" Answer me a little upset.

"Not be extended. Quickly breakfast Del." Dad said cut off my and Mom's conversation.

"Dad always was. Always defend Adelia's favorite daughter." Answer the jealous mother.

"Indeed, if not Adel who I love who else Mom is already Daddy dear first before Adelia." I tried to tease Mom

"Ah Father put it to shame" Mother blushed in embarrassment at Dad's words.

"Cie cie reminiscing about cie cie's youth…!" I embarrassed Mom and she went to the back and Dad just laughed and continued to eat breakfast.

"Del this don't forget the suit temen you've been washing and ironing. I also entered the pastry as a sign of gratitude to your friend." My mother gave me a goody bag that contained Hanan's suit and Mother's handmade cookies.

"Makasi ya Bu really good." Tempt me at Mom again.

"Don't start later on, I'm pinching it." Mom's hand was ready to pinch my waist.

"Oh yes, my God, ma'am." With a smile I raise my hand up like a man with a gun.

"Del's gone Daddy's scared late."

"Each commander let's go.!"

When I arrived at the school gate, I kissed the back of Dad's hand. But something was strange at the time. Dad's hands are so cold. Dad's face looks so weird too.

"Dad, how could there be anything different?"

"Is Dad getting handsome?"

"Ahh, that's right." I smiled as I opened the car door and got out.

Dad lowered the car glass and said,

"Take care of yourself, son. Study hard and reach your mind and love. Keep your promise to Daddy."

Deg deg deg

Suddenly my heart was pounding faster because of Dad's words.

"Dad, don't make Adelia afraid of your words just now." I approached the open windshield and kissed Dad on the forehead.

"Dad who must promise Adel that Dad will always accompany Adel until Adel gets what Adel wants?haa?"

Dad just smiled. Then waved his hand and closed the windshield of the car and slowly drove away.

I turned my body back. Turns out there was Zaki right behind me earlier. He smiled as if he was proud and signified I was a kind-hearted child that his parents loved so much.

I walked towards Zaki.

"Since you kissed your father's forehead. You love your father so much, Del?"

"of course. Dad is my hero. Everything to me. Dad always supported me no matter what I did as long as I was happy and it was posi..." I haven't finished talking my legs tripped and made me almost fall.

Zaki who realized I was going to fall directly held my hand then my waist. Of course it makes us look at each other for a moment with a very close distance.

This incident caused a school. They clapped and whistled. Some even say that Zaki is not single.

The clumsy and embarrassed Zaki hearing the sound of a sudden scream made him release his hand on my waist. But it's a pity that I haven't stood up properly that I almost fell down again and for the second time Zaki held onto my waist and again the shouts of the schoolmates grew even more furious.

I stood up straight and so did Zaki. She's a little shy. What about me? Of course I'm more embarrassed than him. This is the first time I've been close to a guy.

Zaki looked around while sticking his thumb into his mouth. A sign to tell silence because we are more embarrassed by their cries.

"Let's walk otherwise they'll be more and more." Zaki held my hand leading me into the hallway. His steps suddenly came to a halt making me crash into his back.

"Oh." I was shocked and then I rubbed my hands.

"Sorry yes Del because everyone was going to tease us later." Zaki regretted his actions earlier.

"Eh you don't get it wrong. If you hadn't, I would have been hurt and now I'm in the hospital."

"Swstttt…. Amit-amit is." Zaki tapped on the wall three times for an unlucky throw-away don't let what I said happen.

"Hmb.." I shut my mouth trying to hold back a laugh but Zaki felt strange what made me so funny.

"You why Del? What's so funny?" 

"ha-ha-ha." I who could not help but laugh finally let go of my laughter while patting Zaki on the shoulder.

"Why Del." Zaki is confused.

Blasting my laughter little by little to explain to Zaki.

"You're funny Zak, just this time I saw a guy say amit-amit use a knock-knock event all wall. With gemoy again. Ha-ha-ha…!" I still can't help my laughter.

"You're so pretty Del if you laugh like that. Before I only saw you smile it was also from a distance."

Degs…

Zaki's words managed to stop my laughter. Even my cheeks are red with embarrassment.

We walked to class. Without us noticing there were eyes watching since we were in the hallway. I know it was Sinta. I just glanced at him. Then I saw Hanan. I smiled at him and nodded my head intending to greet him. 

"I'll give you the suit later when this break is about to enter the lesson."

Just as I turned my face to Hanan, she walked towards me.

"Hi Bro!"

Zaki immediately looked over.

"Eh elo Nan. Let's go together."

They embrace each other and smile at each other.

I cut off their path and made them stop stepping. Then release each other's hands.

"Emh..Hanan this suit you sorry ya troublesome. And thanks for your help." I gave a goody bag that I had been with since I came home.

"Okey." Hanan's answer was only that short and made me a little upset.

"Do you know each other? How can you pinjemin your suit Nan. It's just good you didn't wear a suit last night." Zaki was so astonished. 

"If that's how I go first." 

I also accelerated my footsteps. I don't want to get a lot of questions from Zaki. Let Hanan explain if he wants to.

"Eh Del.." Zaki tried to hold me back.

"Udah let's just tar us late again." Said Zaki who seemed also reluctant to say last night's incident.
