Let Me Fall in Love
37. Think Candidate, Apparently?

Ami frowned. In an empty classroom. Curious to look under each table at random. No bags are stored. The first clock is chemical. Is everyone in the lab? He thought hard there might be info that forgot. "It doesn't feel like there's a lab practice schedule today." Ami said inwardly with confidence.

Bruck. The classroom door suddenly closed violently. Surprised Ami who is still pensive. The feeling starts to feel bad. It could be that his friends are planning a surprise on his birthday. He opened the door carefully.

"LUCKYOO!" The compact shout of his friends made Ami cover both ears. Because it is very noisy, far from the word melodious choir.

"Happy birthday Ami 🎶...." Led by Marga, all of them were compactly singing cheerfully accompanied by applause. Ifa holds a beautiful black forest cake with a candle number 17 that has been lit.

Ami smiled broadly. Unexpected to get a surprise early in the morning. He blew out the candle after the song ended. "Thank you, guys. But my gut feeling is that this is the cake I have to pay for, right?" He looked at Ifa.

It's not just the Ifa that giggles. Kia, Sonya and the others were the same. Until Yuma the class treasurer reached into the paper from his pocket.

"Mi, here's the bill. I used cash first." Yuma said as she spread her tongue. He and Ifa yesterday afternoon went to the cake shop after discussing with Marga and the others.

Ami twisting eyeballs. Never mind receiving the receipt of the purchase of the cake for 190 thousand. "Yuma, take a break for ya! Everything has to be part."

The clock also sounded. All the students who had been compactly hiding in the MIPA 2 class, now entered the class cheerfully. That's because Ami announced she would be treating meatballs after school.

"Mi, happy bestday ya." Ozi approached Ami's desk while handing over a paper bag containing a medium-sized gift.

"Allegend, Ozi. Go get tangkyu ya, Zi." Ami smiled broadly accepting Ozi's gift. Replied Ozi with a thumbs up.

The rowdy voice turned silent as the chemistry teacher walked in. Because of the preoccupation with chatting with Kia, Ami forgot to keep her bag under the table.

"Eh, how hard is it?" Ami ducked when her bag could not be put in, stumbling with solid objects. "Geez!" He shrieked softly as he looked at the scene under the table. There are several gifts of various sizes. When a gift is pulled, the name Kia is written on it.

"Don't look at the price, Mi." Kia's whisper was accompanied by a knotty smile.

Ami feels speechless. He was curious to see another gift. There are surnames, Ifa, Vino. Three more gifts he has not checked his name because the lesson has begun.

Apparently the sweet seventeen surprise still continues. When the subjects change Bahasa Indonesia and will end, the door of the class is knocking. The focus of all the students was on the teacher who walked to open the door.

"Rahmi Ramadhania! There's a guest." The teacher called the name according to the person who came accompanied by the picket officer.

Ami rushed over with a questionable look. Who is visiting. Getting more confused as soon as he saw the teacher smiling. He also looked at the guests. Her eyes widened with her mouth open.

"Thank you!" Said Ami after taking a picture next to the gift he received. He took pictures at the request of the courier next to a one-meter-high Jumbo doll. Want to prance around at that time while hugging Panda. But aware of the situation. Although not accompanied by a greeting card, clearly on the chest of the Panda doll there is the initials of the name APB.

"Happy birthday, Rahmi. Blessings always throughout the ages." Say Mother Teacher Indonesian before leaving class because the break bell rings. He just found out Ami's birthday because of Panda's gift.

"Aamiinu. Thank you, Mom." Ami smiled and nodded politely.

"Amiiii! Whose gift is this from? Aihhh, gemoy." Sonya scuttle Ami's steps while playing the Panda doll's hand in a frenzy. Yuma and Ifa also approached because they were interested in holding too.

"Husss, don't hug! It's from someone special." Ami dodged and immediately sat in her chair with the doll on. Ignoring the disappointed Sonya Cs. He hurried to open the phone. Hope there's a chat from London.

[Die, Cutie. Happy level up]

[I hope you always to be happy and awesome]

[If ATK, hug dong doll pandanya 🐼]

[MU every day, Adekku darling 🙂]

Ami smothers her mouth with a smile that tries to be covered because Kia watches him while messing around. Various flavors that draw joy fill the chest. He hugged his puppet tightly. Then hurry to return the message.

[Ish, Brother Akbar. He said he would give me his vision]

[So surprise. Argh, want celebration deh 🤸]

[Please, Brother. ATK 🙃]

"So this morning I haven't answered to join her. Still doubtful. I'll ask again. Why, Kia?" Ami looked at Kia.

"No papa anyway. Just wonder how crazy Sonya and Ifa ask for more photos. Every cogan's look likes a scene." Kia also giggled. He became familiar with Zaky because every day always hitchhiking home. As usual, get off at the red light. Ami responded with a chuckle.

"Mi, here I bring! Let me carry the doll. Whose gift is this?" Almond intercepts Ami's move. He had been waiting under the stairs because he broke up first.

"From the fans I dong." Ami refused Almond's help. He was so possessive of his dolls. No one is allowed to hug that special gift.

"You and Kia are in my car." Almond.

"I picked up brother, Mon. Another friend on the vehicle too. So we're just in a convoy." Ami saw a group of boys already riding their respective motorcycles. Ifa hitchhiked in Marga's car. Sonya brought her own car and two people hitchhiked to her. The rest carry their own motors.

"Mi, who gave me a doll?" Zaky was surprised to see a large doll put in the car.

"From my fans dong. I forgot your sister is a celebrity." Sahut Ami while fixing the position of the doll to sit sweetly in the seat. Intentionally use a safety belt so as not to touch.

"Nyesel is it." Zaky piqued for Ami's narcissistic answer. While Kia giggles. He became accustomed to hearing the fad of the brothers since hitchhiking with Zaky as his driver.

"He's sitting in front! I want Panda to sit down. Ami closed the door without waiting for Kia's answer.

"Oh, Ami." Kia wanted to protest but Zaky told him to come in and get ahead of the wheel door. Be him sitting in front with a feeling of gloating.

Arriving at the location, Zaky just dropped off Ami and Kia. Not join so that his sister's friends are not awkward. He will visit his SMK friend who did not continue college but opened printing services not so far from the meatballs.

Almond approached Ami who was ordering meatballs. "Mi, I want a table with you!"

"Yes. But gotta..."

"Smiles. Yes I inget. This from earlier also grinned until dry teeth." Almond cut off Ami's speech. Kia who was listening, held back a laugh.

By late afternoon, almost all the tables were filled with buyers in white-gray uniforms. Boiled by laughter. Due to the ultimatum of Ami, Almonds can melt and blend. No more fighting with Ozi.

Blessings were obtained by the trio Sonya, Ifa, and Yuma. The presence of Almond tub crushed durian collapsed. They can take pictures with handsome men of Arab crossbreeds who have been difficult to approach it. Plus got her contact number because of Ami's help.

Akbar went down the stairs with a pillow face. At midnight, we arrived home after a business trip to London. He was joined by his parents and sister who were having breakfast.

"Bar, Aunt Ratih, let us have a family. Mama just found out her venue in Seruni. Mama, Papa, and Iko will attend. How many years have we not been to the lake. So all nostalgic with the meeting place Mama and Papa used to be. You want to attend too?" With a sparkling face, Mama Mila looked at Akbar who was rubbing some fresh bread with pineapple jam.

"Love at the first sight Mama and Papa at Lake. Iko in Singapore. That's Mas Akbar?" Iko preceded commenting on Mama Mila's remark while glancing towards Akbar.

"On the skul." Sahut Akbar is short. He started biting his bread with a relaxed face.

"Skul at the reunion means? Cie, that means Mas Akbar already has a candidate. What city, Mas? When to go home? Let my friends do not think Mas Mas is still single. They're on a shawl." Iko enthusiastically waited for Akbar's answer.

"Eh, but Mama can chat link from Leo. That's who's Bar? His account name is amiselimut. Your photos are good, matching. Prewed caption. Mama thought it was your candidate. Pass the scroll down, it is still SMA. Silat athletes yes. Beautiful but still beautiful." Mama Mila excited.

"Ah Iko curious. Wanna see." Iko chewed her fried rice breakfast faster. Family rules should not bring gadgets to the dining table. I want to finish breakfast soon.

Akbar sprained the bread so difficult to swallow because of the cerocosan Mama Mila discussed Ami. He drank from Iko's glass until it ran out.

"Ah, Leo did not confirm first. Look out!" Akbar nodded with a furious tone. Though already have a stage plan on how to introduce Ami.

"Mam, that's Rama's youngest brother-in-law. Puput has three sisters. Aulia who became his future wife Panji, continued Zaky who studied in Singapore, the last Ami who was still in high school. Akbar took a picture with Ami when he appeared on Panji's proposal." Akbar. During Panji's application, her parents were in Singapore.

"Oh that. Well, Ratna and Ratih have the same besan. Also yells." Mama Mila chuckled with astonished eyes. "So Akbar will come along?" He repeated the unanswered question of his eldest son.

"God willing." Akbar moved from his seat. Bring black coffee just made by ART. Bring it upstairs.

Sunday mornings usually Akbar likes to exercise running around the complex. But not this morning because the body is still tired. It is better to sit on the balcony of the room. Sunbathing on a sunny morning, accompanied by a cup of coffee. Bluetooth headset installed in the ear. Start calling Ami.
