I'm Beautiful#Part 2
episode 21

Pieter understood that and was about to open her mouth to speak but was cut off by Indah, "And.we promise not to pry each other's personal info right?" sahutku

"Well" answered Pieter lazily, we spent time talking about Pieter's life and a little bit about me, also discussing about the various courses that I will study in this one semester, which I will study,

But of course my feelings are very unpleasant, because in the middle of my laughter with Pieter and Nita there are Nio's eyes that watch in silence, without saying a word, and what makes me very uncomfortable is that Nio always acts that we just know, sometimes even acts like I don't know myself,

That feeling always stuck in me, but I really don't want to think about things that make me more chaotic, because tomorrow I have to prepare myself to be frank with Nio,

"Ndah.., I hope yah.., I want to go back" said Nita,

"With ya.., Piet makasi yah for all sharing his info to me" said I,

"Same - same Ndah. thanks also have kept his lunch date promise, even though there is a mosquito repellent from earlier, ahahahahaa" tease Pieter, me and Nita also laugh, and Nita also laugh,

"Oh yes to the phone number." pinta pieter,

"Well?! isn't Ospek uda pas loved on paper?" my tofu, my,

"The paper accidentally hit the water Ndah.." - Javav Pieter.."For yah.., let me help you work together or whatever.." woo Pieter with a smile.

"Dad.., here's the phone" I asked and Pieter gave me the phone, I quickly saved my number, "later text me well.., let me keep Pieter's number too" I said kindly,

"Thank you very much, be careful on the road" said Pieter,

I also walked away from the canteen, without looking at Nio sitting, was it not Nio who wanted to make this situation in public, we did not show our interest in each other.

On my way home my mind drifted back, I really felt alien to this new relationship of mine, sometimes I felt Nio's attention, I felt, sometimes I feel that Nio is afraid that his reputation will be ruined by having a relationship with an ordinary girl like me.

________***________

For the past few days, I've been a little quiet because I wasn't bothered by Mathew's calls and texts, but my heart is back when I remember today I have to prepare myself to meet Nio and reveal my flaws fully.

In the midst of my anxiety, I recalled my promise with Kak Ayi again, I hurriedly sent a short message to Ayi.. "Please pray for me brother." My message was sent.

"Dad Ndah. pray brother also. may today everything be smooth well Ndah.." replied Kak Ayi.

I just read it with a smile, while sitting quietly in my bedroom alone, who was holding back an unbearable sense of unease. whether he would accept everything well God, I muttered in my heart, Ahh... I'd better not be so hopeful, I heard again.

"Good night Auntie.." said Nio out there, without waiting for me to get out of my room immediately, the first sight I saw was Nio's familiarity with mama, mama really liked Nio, she really liked Nio, it felt like Nio was the future daughter-in-law of his Dreams.

"Hi.." I said,

"Hi Ndah.." Nio said,

"Ma.. Lovely goodbye well, mama did not go to Kak Ayi's house?" my tofu, my,

"Go. later mama together with Aunt Nonik, you guys heart-heart on the road well.." that's the message of mama, mama,

"Dad Te.., Good night." again rebuked Nio politely, followed also by me, we hurried to move from my house, I said,

On the way, I ventured to start a conversation, "Nio,

"Alright, it means we hang out on the beach first well...., Ayi's mother's birthday event at what time?" ask Nio

"It's started, but there's still like the study first so, we came late for nothing" I replied

"Where can we speak calmly" I replied,

"All right.." Then Nio turned the direction of our car to where Nio meant, "Yesterday the lunch date seemed to be smooth.." the sarcastic sentence came out of Nio's mouth,

"Dad was right, very smoothly.I have to thank Nita who helped me smooth my date" I replied with a sarcasm as well,

"Hehee..., why is it right in tanya already have a boyfriend you do not want to answer?" ask Nio

"Do you want me to answer that I already have a boyfriend?" now I turned my body sideways so I could see Nio clearly,

"Didn't you have a boyfriend? why should it be covered.." he replied again,

'really too long talk, just say yes then I understand' my speech in the heart, then one question comes back in my head,

"When anyone asks about my status then I will answer as it is." I said as I stared fixedly at Nio's face, and I saw a thin smile adorning his handsome face, and I saw a thin smile, I gave a little pause before continuing my question "And.if anyone asks who my boyfriend is, then what should I answer?" I mean, now that there's no smile on Nio's face, he's been quiet for quite a while until finally a sentence comes out of his lips

"Just say secret, they know enough about your status without needing to know the name of the person who is your girlfriend" he replied firmly, saying,

I smiled wryly, then turned my body again to sit properly and look at the road, a moment later our car was parked on the beach, can be heard clearly the roar of the waves that hit the rock.

"Well, if that's what you want.., I'll keep my boyfriend a secret to everyone, and I guess without in the mint you'll do the same thing" I'm just trying to be normal,

"Beautiful..don't misunderstand me, I just don't want anyone to bother you, and ruin our relationship, do you believe me completely Ndah?" asked Nio longly, because it was not usual for him to say - a word at length,

"I will try to believe in you Nio," I replied softly,

"What do you want to talk to me about? hem??" the question is soft,

I took a deep breath and slowly threw it away a few times so that my unfriendly heart would become calmer,

"Nio.., I just want to be honest with you, I don't want any secrets between us especially regarding my flaws,"

"Speak.., I wait" said Nio

"After this it's up to you Nio.." Now Nio looked at me and I tried to stare at him but I could not bear, my heart thump was even heard clearly with the whirring of the waves breaking on the rocks along the beach, After a short pause I forced my moody tongue to speak,

"Nio.., I'm sorry. I'm no longer a virgin.."
