Childhood Match
Pick up Shaza at the Airport

Two months since Riko's engagement to Shaza. They never specifically communicate even though only through cell phones. The two chose to keep quiet not to contact each other if there was nothing important. Until finally, Ms. Fina called Riko. He asked to pick up Shaza at the airport. Today he is going to Harvard University for his S1 degree tomorrow.

In accordance with Kanjeng Mami's orders, at one noon American time, Riko arrived at Boston Logan International Airport. He waited for Shaza at the arrival spot. While playing her phone, Riko waited for Shaza. After about 30 minutes of waiting, Shaza finally arrived. He seemed to be walking towards Riko.

"I'm sorry that I have made Riko wait" said Shaza.

Riko immediately turned to look at the voice. He saw that Shaza was already standing there with some items that he put in one bag of size is quite large.

"No problem. We're leaving now?" riko and Shaza nodded their heads.

The two walked towards Riko's car park. After being in the car, Riko also drove her car.

About 30 minutes walk, finally Riko stopped his car.

"Come down.we've arrived." said Riko.

"Where did we get?" tanya Shaza looked towards the right and left.

"In my apartment! As long as you're in America these few days stay in my apartment!" answer Riko.

Shaza was surprised to hear Riko's reply. How can he live in an apartment with a man who is not his mahram. They are already engaged. But it is not a guarantee that the two will be married couples as long as the ijab qobul has not been implemented. Especially with Riko's attitude that is still cold. It's not impossible that they can't get married.

"You calm down! As long as you're in my apartment, I'll stay at the hotel. You are a woman, you better stay in the apartment and I stay at the hotel." continued Riko.

"Huuuhhh. I think I should stay in an apartment with that guy Judes. Turns out he's understanding too." - shower Shaza while getting off Riko's car.

"Let me bring it!" pinta Riko when Shaza was about to take the heavy enough Shaza bag.

Riko opened the apartment door. There Shaza saw a clean and neatly arranged living room even though the owner was a man.

"Sit down and rest, I'll get you a drink" Riko said as she walked to the kitchen to get some water.

Shaza sat on the soft sofa. He is still a little awkward because he has to be with Riko. Because as he knew, the man was only forced to be engaged to him.

"Drink." said Riko shortly after he took a glass of water and put it on the table.

"You can sleep and rest in my room. In the refrigerator there is enough food. You can cook, right?" ask Riko.

Again Shaza just nodded his head.

"Be good.cook what you like and think of it as your own home. Take a break, tomorrow morning I'll pick you up and I'll take you to college. Is there something you want to ask?" ask Riko.

Shaza shook his head. He was still hard to believe, the cold man turned out to have a good side as well. As he believed all along.

"If so, I'll go now. If you need anything, just call!" riko said as she got up from her seat.

"Sister Riko...!!!" the girl opened her mouth too.

"What's wrong?" ask Riko.

"Thank you. for everything." said Shaza.

Riko just stared coldly at Shaza without saying a word. He disappeared from Shaza's sight in the blink of an eye.

Shaza Prov.

Really strange guy! Like an iguana, his attitude changes as he wants without thinking about the feelings of others. O Allah. Why do you have to meet me with a man like him? What exactly are you planning for my destiny? Is that cold guy really my soul mate? If so, can I live with a man who has no love for me? And strangely...why do I still survive in this place? Even as if I had no power, I could not refuse this match. Obviously, the man did not love me. Give me your guidance, O God, so that I can continue my life in peace.

The next day, Shaza woke up as usual to perform the morning prayers. After the dawn prayer, he went to the kitchen to see what Riko had stored in his refrigerator. After Shaza opened it, it turned out to be true what Riko said. There is meat, some types of vegetables are also fruit, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, even the refrigerator is almost full of various food supplies.

After cooking and cleaning the apartment, Shaza immediately went to take a shower and prepared to go to campus. After finishing the bath and getting ready, Shaza came out of his room. Shaza was surprised to find Riko who was already sitting on the living room sofa.

"Sister Riko? Why is he here?" bathin Shaza's. He just remembered. Of course he can come here whenever he wants. This is his apartment. He then walked towards Riko who was busy playing his phone.

"Sir Riko when is coming?" ask Shaza.

"Recently." replied Riko without turning to Shaza.

"What time do you go to college?" riko.

"Awhile more...! I've been cooking. Does Riko want breakfast first?" ask Shaza.

"Thank you... But I'm still full." Riko replied lying. Obviously, he didn't have breakfast this morning.

"Try me, little brother! I cook it a lot. Who wants to eat?" Shaza was a little pushy.

"Aren't you horrified? I said I was still full." replied Riko.

Shaza's face paled hearing Riko's reply. "Patience... Shaza... sabaaar." Shaza tried to entertain himself. Finally, Shaza walked to the dining table alone.

Shortly afterwards Riko came and sat down at Shaza's table as if without the slightest guilt had offended him. Riko take the rice, vegetables and side dishes on the table without saying anything. For the first time Riko tasted the coercive fiancee's cooking. His tongue felt an incredible sensation. It was fortunate that he changed his mind to go and taste Shaza's cooking. If not, he will lose his entire life for skipping the meal this morning.

"Lumayan delicious also cuisine this girl.." Riko bathin while eating the food on her plate.

In his true heart Shaza wanted to laugh but was afraid of sin. He said he was still full, now he ate two dishes. Mercifully... Shaza was relieved that the jutek man did not complain about his cooking. After breakfast, the two left for college.

*****

In the afternoon after returning from campus, Riko drove Shaza back to his apartment. Before returning to the hotel, Riko took a break and went to the bathroom.

"I'm back at the hotel now. If you have finished your business on campus and want to go back to Indonesia say so. I'll take you to the airport." said Riko before leaving.

"Yes, Brother... Thanks." replied Shaza.

Riko left the apartment.

Shaza walked into the room to rest while laying down.

"Alhamdulillah.ahirnya passed as well.." said Shaza relieved while looking at the diploma that was already in his grasp. What else kumloud title he managed to achieve.

"🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼" heard the voice of the phone reads.

Soon Shaza picked up the phone in his bag. He felt strange because there was not a single incoming call on his phone, but the voice?

Soon Shaza searched where the source of the voice was. Finally from the room table, he saw Riko's phone left behind and was ringing there.

"Oh Allah..Riko's phone missed the time to go to the bathroom, how is this?" shaza.

Shaza did not dare to pick up Riko's phone. His heart suddenly thumped while reading a nickname in Riko's phone that read "My Sweet". The call stopped because no one picked it up.

Somehow Shaza's annual curiosity was so deep in who exactly had just called Riko? Shaza wants to open Riko's phone but is afraid because it is not his right. But he feels there's a bright spot about Riko's mysterious life as he learns who the name's owner is.

When Shaza was in a grove of anxiety, suddenly Riko's phone again rang with the same name. Will Shaza pick up Riko's phone? Or will he just leave it?
