How To Love You
Chapter 161

Ashar's adhan echoed on Tantri's cell phone, keeping Miko awake from her sleep that afternoon. Slowly Miko woke up while yawning and rubbing her pair of eyes.

When Tantri came out of her room, she was surprised to see the figure of the man she was holding woke up.

"Astagfirullah. It turns out that Miko, just ngagetin" said Tantri.

Miko just smiled in response. After Tantri passed into the bathroom to take ablution water, Miko followed. He also wants to wash his face that still feels sleepy after waking up.

Miko with a distinctive face woke up and set her eyes towards the curtains near Tania's room door. He waited for the occupants of the room to come out to fetch water ablution just as Tantri did. Because the wait did not come out as well, he asked Tania to Tantri after the girl came out of the bathroom.

"Tantri, where's Tania?" ask Miko without further ado.

"Son Tania is on the same path as Radit" replied Tantri.

"Oh." said Miko with a slightly weakened tone due to disappointment.

Though Miko was happy because she thought she would have more opportunities to be close to Tania. Miko exhaled a rough breath and then went into the bathroom.

Tantri becomes convinced that Miko likes her older sister, Tania. He recalled the incident some time ago when they both went to SKG City. He caught Miko always stealing a glance at Tania when they both visited the room of Bu Indah and Pak Rudi at the hotel where they were staying at that time.

After the Ashar prayer, Bu Indah told Tantri to go to harvest sweet corn in their garden because he did not have time. He still has a lot of work in the garden behind his house. Tantri is like a boy, she can do whatever her mother tells her to do.

Tantri walked out carrying a neatly folded sack in her hand. He finds Miko sitting alone on the porch because Hendra and Tasya have not yet woken up. Tantri also intends to invite Miko to accompany him to the garden as well as taking Miko for a walk around her village.

"Sir Miko!" call Tantri.

"Yes, what?" miko Sahut.

"Follow me yuk!" take Tantri.

"Where?" ask Miko again.

"Walk, around the village. Wouldn't you?" answer Tantri.

"Can, come!" exclaim Miko enthusiastically.

Miko felt very happy because Tantri took her for a walk. From earlier he was bored at home because Tania girl adjaan his heart was out with his girlfriend when he was asleep. Mr. Rudi was in the rice field, while the others were still asleep.

Miko and Tantri take a walk using Tantri's beloved matic scooter. Miko really enjoyed the natural beauty presented in the village. In his city, he could not possibly find the coolness in the afternoon like today. There was only stuffiness and pollution everywhere.

"Sir Miko wants to come in or just wait here?" ask Tantri.

"I went in." answered Miko.

They also went into the garden.

"Wait here, brother. Don't go anywhere! Let me get in the cornstarch." Tantri told Miko to wait for her at the edge of the garden.

Tantri then split the row of corn plants that lined up neat and orderly. Miko did not heed Tantri's words, she walked in following Tantri who was picky corn one by one that was already worth picking. Tantri snorted angrily when she realized that Miko was behind her.

"Well, God, brother. Why did Miko come in?" ask Tantri.

"I'm also curious about how to cut corn" Miko replied.

Tantri shook her head listening to Miko's answer. He had his own reasons why he forbade miko to enter the corn line with him. He did not want Miko to itch just because her skin touched the corn leaves because Miko there only wore a short-sleeved shirt and knee-length jeans. Unlike Tantri who is clearly wearing long clothes because he is hijab.

"I don't take responsibility if Kak Miko itches" said Tantri then re-pick her corn one by one and put it in the sack that she brought.

"Then anyway? It's itchy corn, huh?" ask Miko.

"Well, it's not sister. Does Brother Miko ever see rake-scratching corn?" canda Tantri is still at her disposal.

"You're this, kidding. I'm serious about it" explained Miko.

"The leaves are Kak's tablets that make itching, not the corn." explained Tantri.

"Oh, that's it." said Miko understood.

A few moments later,

"Eh, yes really. My cheeks are starting to itch" Miko said as she scratched her itchy cheeks.

"That's right, I said what, too. Sana cepetan out." said Tantri.

Miko rushed out, because her face, hands to her arms and calves had started to feel itchy because they touched the corn leaves that she passed earlier.
