First Love
Chapters. 17

After that day, if you meet or cross paths with Mr. Gilang in the campus corridor. I smile more often and look down at me.

Sometimes at first glance I see Mr. Gilang returning my smile. Or when I walk with Tantri Pak Gilang just look at me without smiling.

It does not feel like semester four has entered the end of the end. Just to finish a few courses, a long holiday is in sight.

I finished my final course to coincide with Percy's and I'm transferring positions. A month at Dad's house this time I went through a little differently.

There is a special impression in my heart. I prepared my books and also the books loaned Mr. Gilang to me. While taking the thick book I put on the buffet. A piece of paper fell out of the book, I grabbed it and I reopened it.

Brochure with photo of Mr. Gilang. I opened the thick sheet of the book to look for the tissue I had stored in the same book. I grabbed the tissue and moved it into another book.

I want to return this book, if Mr. Gilang finds out I still have this tissue, I can die a tick.

"Terry." Dad's voice called me.

I went down the stairs with a little run. I put my backpack on one shoulder. With Pak Gilang's book in hand, I walked out of Dad's house.

"Awhile Dad. Want to turn back the book belonging to Mr. Gilang." I said when I saw Dad standing in front of the car door.

Dad just nodded, I crossed the front asphalt of the house and knocked on aunt Namira's door. A stranger stood behind the door.

"Eh, Terry. What's up, honey? Miss Gilang yes, just also a holiday, have missed it." said Aunt Namira without pause.

"No, Aunt. I just want to return the book belonging to Mr. Gilang, Aunt." I replied a little embarrassed.

"Geez, what's behind. Just bring it, if you can, the book was exchanged for the same book that had a picture of the garage only. How's it?"

"I mean Auntie, report the SD kid?" many confused.

"Ih ... How did you report Terry? the book that has the emblem of his garage, which cuople-an the same Gilang." said Aunt Namira.

"This mama has a guest not told to enter, even in a strange order." continued Mr. Gilang who came from the middle room.

"Come in, Ter." ordered Mr. Gilang as he walked towards us.

"Tuh right, Auntie forgot because of the garuda book. Let's go in Ter, Auntie make some juice?"

"Eh ... No need for Auntie, I've been waiting for Dad. Just want to return this book, sir." I gave my hand to give up some books that were loaned by Mr. Gilang the other day.

"Oh.." Gilang took the book from my hand. "Would you change places, Terr?" ask Mr. Gilang.

"Yes, Sir. Then excuse me, sir, Auntie." I said to them.

"Terry, play here a lot. Will it be a holiday, later Gilang kangen loh if there is no you."

"Mama.." said Mr. Gilang lazy.

"Let's be quick to make a book of garuda." continued aunt Namira with a smile of meaning.

"What's a Garuda book, sir?" finally I asked, wondering what a garuda book is.

Mr. Gilang just shook his head and shuddered his shoulders. His face was red, for what reason.

"A Garuda book that there are two, Ter. Who was loved after the marriage contract was completed." replied aunt Namira who made me and Mr. Gilang misbehaved.

I smiled looking at Mr. Gilang who scratched the nape of his neck. It's just right from earlier Mr. Gilang like evading. It turns out that means it. I smiled while nodding my head.

"You're nodding, the sign will be, right? ain't you?" said Aunt Namira girang.

"Wouldn't you ever leak once?" said Mr. Gilang shy.

"Indeed Mama's bucket, leaking?"

"Mama's more like a leaky can. It's leaking, it's noisy again."

"Hey ... Sparkling. Look out for you, don't ask Mama to make Terry's proposal, yeah. Lamar himself!"

Aunt Namira's words made me blush even more. I shook my head and covered my forehead with my palm.

"Sir, Aunt. Then I say yes. I've been waiting for Dad. Assalamualaikum." I said immediately severing this conversation.

Aunt Namira, why can the boat? so bluntly speaking. I'm the only one who heard him embarrassed, especially Mr. Gilang whose son, as well as my lecturer. But exciting too times yes, if you can in-laws like that.

I clap my forehead while walking towards Dad's car. What do you think Terry. The longer, why the more messed up your mind.

The bell placed above the glass door of the flower shop Mother rang. Signs a customer enters the flower shop Mother.

During the holidays, I spent a lot of time in the flower shop, just helping Mother and also caring for the flowers around the garden of the store Mother.

"Sir, give me a bouquet of tulips." said the customer.

Instantly the movement of my finger that was writing the Mother's shop income book stopped. I turned my body back and saw the owner of the voice.

My lips turned back wide when I saw the man in black jeans and the dark red checkered shirt.

"How much is this?" the man asked as he picked up a bouquet of pink tulips.

"Fifty thousand, Mas." said Ms. Eva while tidying up the display again.

"Go to the cashier, Mas." continued Eva while pointing to Rini's brother who was behind the cashier's desk, whose position was opposite to mine.

The man was standing right next to me, as the scent of his hair gel burst into my nose. The man handed him a hundred thousand bills.

"Terry, there's fifty grand?" ask Rini to me.

When the man looked at me, his face was confused and he turned back to smile.

"Terry" he said cheerfully.

"Hi, Yudha."

"You here?" tanyanya then walked to the front of the glass door and saw the signpost name of the flower shop Mother.

"I don't see that" he said, pointing to a flower shop sign he designed himself.

"Mom, where's the money?" I asked Rini.

I took the hundred thousand and gave fifty bills to Rini.

"Your change, Yudha." I give Yudha the change.

"Enh, Ter. Want to get out with me for a second?" yudha asked when she received the change from me.

I nodded and smiled, following Yudha's footsteps out of Mother's flower shop. Yudha and I sat on a chair on the lip of the street near the flower shop.

"You date? how to buy flowers?" ask me to open the conversation.

Yudha smiled and shook her head.

"You look at a friend in the hospital."

"Emh." I replied.

For a moment the atmosphere became silent, I and Yudha just stayed, enjoying the warm atmosphere while I was beside Yudha.

"Kirei, you want to go for a walk?" tanya Yudha broke the silence of the atmosphere.

"You're going to the hospital, Yud."

"May, tomorrow, or the day after."

"It's not good, Jud. Your friend will be disappointed."

"Even if he's disappointed he's still my friend, Kirei" Yudha said, looking at me seriously.

"But it's not good to cancel an appointment so easily."

"I haven't made a promise to him, just the intention of going there because it's just a little bit of a stretch."

I took a breath and shook my head.

"Yes, but you still said you wanted to go there?"

"I'm just saying that it's bad, Kirei. It doesn't have to be today, right?"

"But still he will be disappointed, Yudha."

"When he's disappointed he won't go out of my sight. But when you're disappointed, finding you is harder than finding a needle in a haystack."
