Let Me Fall in Love
86. Early School

Ami unlocks the room door after hearing Akbar's brief explanation. It is forgotten if the time to ask for blessing is in sight. Though it has been discussed when the mojok next to the house at the wedding of Mother. It feels deg deg ser from now hearing the cue of the Panda.

The door opened Ami. He shook his waist in front of Rasya who came ushered in Puput. "You again. You you again. Ah bored meuu." After the protest by singing and pressing Rasya's nose, he rushed up again to the mattress and hid the body under the blanket.

Rasya follows jump into the mattress and crush Ami while laughing. "You again. Don't bump into kamuuu," he soared on the surface of the blanket accompanied by laughter.

"For, Ucul. Enggapp." Ami pops her head from under the blanket. Roll over Rasya's body to lie next to him. Tickled the waist of his ignorant nephew.

"Ante Kunti, hihihi."

"Ate, don't play. Time to sleep at night." Tigur Puput. Rasya awakens because Rayyan bullied him. I want to go to bed with Ate Ami.

"Tuh dengerin said Umma. Sleep on!" Ami hugged Rasya and rubbed his arms.

The pupil sits on the sofa while paying attention to the one on the mattress. Pensively for a moment. Not a good time to talk to Ami. He replaced the bright lights with sleeping lights.

The internal meeting led by Akbar is taking place seriously. Business competition in the field of online ticket and hotel booking services is getting tougher. Need new innovations to stay afloat and increase customer growth. Hearings from the managers of each division are rolling in. Only one thing made the CEO focus for a moment as the phone in his pocket vibrated. Must be from Ami, guess.

[Sister, I've landed at the lake. Otewe Ciamis]

Not the wrong guess. Two hours ago Ami reported that he was at Halim Perdanakusuma airport, preparing to return by plane to Tasikmalaya.

[Alhamdulillah. MU, Cutie 😘]

A quick reply has been sent. Akbar refocused on listening to the presentation with a calm feeling. The lover has returned safely to his hometown.

A long distance away hundreds of kilometers, Ami and her parents had just arrived home after being picked up by Mang Kirman at Tasikmalaya Wiriadinata airport. Traveling by air certainly cuts time faster. It's just that the flight schedule is not routine every day.

The house looks empty. There was only Bi Ela who welcomed. Ami went straight to her room and hugged her pandas tightly.

"I miss you, Panda. Three nights we didn't sleep together. You are lonely. Duh the laundry." He kissed the panda's nose sitting on the head of the right bed.

Ami switched to picking up the phone in her bag. Two days have begun the new school year. He had permission before. I also miss meeting my friends at school. Yesterday news from Kia, learning the first day has not been effective because class 10 is in school orientation. It is effective today.

"Kia, I'm home. God willing tomorrow start skul. What's the news today?" Ami sat down in front of the dressing table while observing the newly popped pimples near her nose.

"Today the 12th grade has been effectively studied, Mi. And our homeroom teacher, Miss Elin again."

"Wow Miss Elin again. Surprises. I'm so yes."

"There's one more news...."

"What?!"

"Take a look at yourself."

"Hey, Kiaaaa. Don't make me curious."

"Haha. So sorry, I'm lost. If I leak it can be intercepted at a red light. Haha."

"Ish, even if this is the case, I'll think. Can't sleep. What's the news?"

"Either so happy news for Ami or not. That's definitely not bad news. Yes, yes, Mi. A teacher came in. Bye."

Ami still wants to talk to Kia but first the connection is cut off. And of course leaves a high curiosity. "I have to wait for tomorrow. Does Sonya know what Kia means?" his inner monologue ended by dropping his recumbent body on the mattress. Can't wait for tomorrow morning.

Ami observed again his neat appearance in a white uniform of ash and a white veil. Padma just called and took off for school. He consented. Plus it's been kangen with his bestie that starting today the prime wearing a high school uniform. He glanced at the phone ringing on the dresser. Video call from Panda.

"The morning spirit that wants to skul." A handsome face with a big smile filled the screen of the phone Ami was holding.

"The morning spirit that wants to work. Hmm, the sun pantes suddenly dim." Ami turned his head towards the window with a shriveled forehead.

"Because the light moved on your face." Ami giggled while peeling her tongue.

Akbar cupped his nose which made Ami laugh.

"Cutie, you know how different you are from the sun?" This time Akbar did not want to lose to avenge Ami's fight.

"Hm, what is it?" Ami sat down the phone by leaning against the glass. He also sat in a chair. There's still time before we go down for breakfast.

"If the sun rises from the east, it sets from the west. If you rise in the eyes, sink in the heart."

"Arghh, I want salto to keep fainting." Ami prancing and then slashing the body until invisible on the screen. Akbar's voice laughed crisply.

The joking morning had to end because of the limiting time. Ami should leave school soon. What a short communication that became a booster for both.

"Mom, Papa didn't eat breakfast?" Ami pulled out a chair to prepare for breakfast for my mother's fried rice.

"Other father runs in the morning. Breakfast is also at 8. Let's eat first." Ibu Sekar became accustomed to breakfast at 6 because it used to accompany children to breakfast before leaving school.

As usual, Ami used to pour rice on Mom's plate. Then I poured rice for him. He started to devour while glancing at his watch.

"Mom, I'm leaving not with a motorbike but with Padma. Padma delivered Anjar's father. Just a little nyampe."

"How's home? What's together too?" I noticed Ami eating fast.

"Bareng too, Mom. I only hitchhiked this once. Think of it as a Padma supporter who is officially a high school boy today." Ami raised her eyebrows.

"It's weird to use there's a supporter's term all." Sekar's mother looked at the crybaby youngest. Wanted to wonder but yes Ami.

The car horn sounded as Ami prepared to exit. He kissed the hand of the mother who followed him to the terrace. Anjar's father's car was in front and was seen talking to Mr. Bagja who had just returned to sports.

"Mother, look! Padma's wearing a white ash uniform." Padma accidentally got down first from the car and walked with a half-face in front of Ibu Sekar who drove Ami to the front of the gate.

"Centil ah, Munaroh." Ami turned the eyeballs to see Padma giggling.

"Congratulations, Padma. I don't feel like Padma is getting older. The spirit of learning." Sekar's mother smiled wryly at the happiness of her sister Panji.

"Yuk ah, don't be late. The gate can be closed." Ami reminded after seeing her watch. He approached Mr. Bagja and said goodbye by kissing his hands. Padma did the same.

Ibu Sekar is still standing in front of the gate after the car driven by his iron drove away. He turned to look at the sweaty husband and asked, "How many kilos, Pa?"

"A total of 5 kilos round trip." Sahut Pak Bagja after seeing the stopwatch feature on his watch.

"Purely strong run that long or jointed on foot?" Ibu Sekar smelled a smile. Little mocked.

"Let's go to the room! Yesterday there was still no evidence that I was Opa who was still mighty." Bagja raised one eyebrow.

"Why talk about it." Ibu Sekar turned around, stepped in first with both cheeks met red. She clearly heard her husband laughing while closing the gate.

In the car that Anjar's father drove, Padma chose to sit in the back with Ami. In the middle of the journey, the IPA 1 disciple opened his palm with a smile. "Ami, Padma collect the debt now!"

"When do I borrow your money?" Ami tried to remember. His forehead wrinkled.

"Not debt money, Marimar. But debt explanation. Who is Panda? He said he was waiting for Padma to wear a white ash uniform. Padma was acute. Don't want to be spotty." Todong Padma who now wiggles Ami's arm.

Ami put her index finger on her lips with her eyes twitching. Afraid of hearing Anjar's father. Padma immediately folded her lips.

"Monday Saturday night could not stay at my house? I'll tell you a story. And Padma will be the first one to hear my curses about Panda. Because Padma was my first bestie." It was clearly Ami who said half a whisper.

Padma nodded. "could. Padma will be nginep. That's why Padma became stubborn," he said while holding his chest.

"Normal. It means it's still alive." Ami's casual greeting gets a toyoran gift from Padma.
