Let Me Fall in Love
108. Wednesday Guests

I love Monday's. One sentence that became an encouragement for Ami who left school this Monday morning with Padma by driving a car owned by her mother. Because it has been promised after school will go to the bookstore in the mall in the Tasikmalaya region. Ami feels today is a new day. A new history in his life due to the achievement of the blessing of the family that influences the mindset. That future planning is clearly directed now. She will become Madam Akbar after graduating High School.

School is flowing as usual. Until the hour comes home. Ami persuades Kia to take part in the mall. The friend was initially hesitant to come along. But after being convinced will be treated, Kia nodded resigned. Be prepared to leave three.

"Hey, all three. Mi, where are you going. I think I'm going for a walk, huh?" Todong Almond met in the car park. Both will go home.

"We're going to the mall first, Mon." Sahut Ami after pressing the unlock in the remote of his car.

"Can you follow me, Mi? Relax, I'll buy you three a meal." Almond looked at Ami expectantly.

Padma poked Ami's back with a glare. Unlike Kia who stood beside Padma, waiting for Ami's decision.

Ami felt sorry for rejecting Almond. Padma also agreed. "okay, Mon. But this time I'm the deal. If you mind, don't go with me."

"Yes, Mi. Okay-okay I'm a manut. Anyone want to come to my car, right? I'm alone." But both Padma and Kia shook their heads. Almond was following Ami's car. Driving alone.

Arriving at the mall, Ami took her friends to the main destination of the bookstore on the third floor. Not only did he treat Padma, Ami also allowed Kia and Almond to choose a preferred reading book.

"I am not a book lover. Because of your offer, I became interested in trying to read a book." Almonds who followed Ami and Padma looked at the title of the book on the shelves.

"Well to play a game, Almond? Which can make you forget time, lack of sleep and lazy prayers, right?" sahut Padma with eyes.

"Hehe. Yes, Padma. How do you know that?" Almond had not yet chosen a book. Even approaching Padma who was taking a book .

"So my classmates had it. The second lesson hours even sleep. Reprimanded by the teacher he said last night maen game until one hour. I was too sleep deprived, the body was not fresh, learning was a mess. Loss you. You don't do that!" Padma turned to the opposite shelf because he was interested in looking for science fiction books.

"Hm, it's hard if you're addicted to games. Thanks Padma, you care for me. Hm, can't you always take me? Because usually if you have a game, forget to eat, forget to pray, forget to learn. Rarely does anyone bother me. Because Mami Papi is in Jakarta. I'm in the lake living with aunty."

"No way, Brother Almond. Because I don't know your number." said Padma without looking. He changed his position to observe the titles of historical figures.

Almonds pull the corners of the lips with sparkling eyes. "Where is your phone? I'll save my number."

I finished choosing a book. Approaching Ami who is on the shelf of psychology theme books. "Mi, I picked this book. Is it worth nothing?" He showed me a book that was a motivational story novel for him. With a synopsis in the form of a story of the struggle of a santri who wants to go to college in limited economic circumstances.

"Santuy don't look at the price. I also bought a book." Ami shamelessly pointed out the book she had chosen.

"BEFORE YOUR DAY WITH HIM. Instructions for preparing for marriage." Kia deliberately spelled out the title of the book in a slow voice. "Wuahh, Ami actually prepares maximum. I'm ready to be Madam coach Akbar." he said accompanied by a seductive smile and flashing eyes.

"Must dong. Let the maximum preparation be born inner." Ami smiled knots then played her eyebrows. He invites Kia to go to Padma and Almond who are now in front of a table containing a new arrival book display.

While in Jakarta, Akbar just finished contacting Zaky in Singapore. With the intention of confirming ready to come to Singapore and when his brother Ami had free time. Unfortunately, the number you are calling is not active.

Akbar moved quickly after last night getting word from Ami about Zaky's request. He immediately responded and asked for a contact number.

Two lines of messages are sent via the chat app to Zaky's number.

[Hi, Zaky. It's Akbar]

[Cabarin if you're not busy. I want to call Zaky]

Half of Zaky's habits Akbar knew from Ami. If the phone is not active, it could be that Zaky is in class or there is a busyness that does not want to be disturbed. But in Singapore, it must be five in the afternoon. There's no way Zaky's having class. There may be group tasks or other activities. The conclusion of Akbar's thought.

Gita came in after knocking on the door. Her always graceful steps lead to the sofa where Akbar was sitting there holding a laptop. Every time he would face Akbar, he would always look at himself. Ensuring his appearance is always plenary.

"Sir, Mr. Boby's secretary has confirmed tomorrow so come at ten."

"OKAY. The meeting file is ready, right?" Sahut Akbar with a gaze still focused on the laptop screen. His ten fingers were agilely dancing on the keyboard keys. I'm typing a reply email.

"Already, Sir. Oh yeah, for an outfit to wear a suit of what color?"

"Sir Boby is a potential investor, sir. So, the appearance of Mr. Akbar must be perfect. Yes even without wearing a new suit, your appearance is always perfect." Gita smiled as she rounded her two fingers.

"I have two new suits at home never worn. Oh yes, Gita. From now on you no longer have the task of managing my outfit. There's a private secretary already taking care of it."

Gita's face when entering was so bright and sparkling eyes, now began to dim. Although he already had a guess, he was curious to ask to convince his guess. "Who is he, Mr Akbar?"

"My future wife."

Gita gulped trying to act ordinary. Although his heart ached and disappointed, he nodded his head in no way to protest . "Next week I take annual leave, sir. The form I submitted to HR this morning." He could have asked Akbar for his signature. But everything has to go according to procedure.

"OKAY. Before the holidays, make sure all your duties have been transferred to Pongky." Akbar will not prevent it even though there is a possibility next week he went to Singapore. Because annual leave is the right of all employees.

"Good, Sir. Then excuse me." Gita came out of Akbar's room. Grunted and threw his butt in his work chair hard. Surprised Pongki who was his deputy secretary who was typing.

"Why not Git? Tumben out of the room Mr. Akbar bete that. Usually likes to smile on their own." pongky ledek accompanied by pussiness.

"Diem lo! I want to eat people know."

Pongky no longer ticks his senior. Folding her lips held a smile because she already knew how Gita if she was angry.

"It's still not a deal of time because Zaky is busy completing many tasks. So I'm just waiting for news from Zaky. With a note of choice on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. That's it, Cutie."

Ami mangosteen. It's been eight days since the video call with Zaky. And now he listened directly to the latest information from Akbar who had communicated with Zaky.

"Emang was A Zaky last week's story too. There are many more tasks. Sometimes until night still on campus doing group assignments with his friends. Have patience, brother." Ami smilingly looked at Akbar's face whose position was now in the dining room. He accompanied virtually, Ayang Panda who had dinner alone until it was over. She said Mama Mila and papa Darwis were going to the wedding anniversary.

"Don't worry, Cutie. I will always wait for one last ticket. I can't wait to see that." Akbar was smiling while raising his eyebrows.

"What is the client? What is clear dong."

"There is."

"Ih, Brother Akbar is not fun ah. I'm closing this." Threaten Ami with the index finger preparing in front of the screen.

"Related to hope? He said he wanted to start kangen-kenan first. Tomorrow I'm going to KL two days can not video call." Akbar gave a smile looking at Ami's face.

"alright. This time Neneng will not be kepo. Hopefully yes fit Kakar again in KL, continue to jump to Singapore. I was wondering if A Zaky would like to have a chat later."

"I hope so. Yes, of course, talking about our relationship dong. Uda, don't think that makes you worry. Me and Zaky are gonna have a nice coffee together and have a nice chat."

Learning activities on Wednesday is more draining the brain to think hard and smart. Because all the subjects on this day simultaneously held a repetition. Almost all of the faces in the classroom were adorned with wrinkles on the forehead and the atmosphere was silent. The male student even had his hair partly standing as if electric shock was so unconsciously randomized while working on physics problems in the last lesson hour.

The sound of the bell is a sign of time to go home and time to collect the paper. The sound of rough breathing but full of relief sounded earthy. Ami calmly handed the replay paper to the teacher's desk. Successfully working on all the multiple choice and essay.

"Mi, I'm not nebeng huh. Want to ride the angkot only because want to go to the uwa house first. We're different directions "Kia walks out of the class to teach Ami steps.

"OK on." Ami held onto Kia's arm while walking down the corridor. Until separated by waving each other in the motorcycle parking lot.

"Hey, wait!"

Ami stopped riding his motorbike because he saw a woman with black eyes approaching him.

"Your name is Rahmi Ramadhania, right?"

"Yes right. Sorry about who?" Ami smiled kindly looking at the beautiful but unknown adult woman.
