For days I thought about what Irma said about ta'aruf. I don't know, I really feel weird about what Irma said. All I know is that when someone has a partner, it's called dating. And the courtship is divided into two categories. Some are healthy, and some are unhealthy.
I often see some of my friends who have had a partner. Some do live it normally, and some others live it in an excessive way. That may be called the concept of courtship between healthy or unhealthy courtship. Then the concept of ta'aruf itself, is the same as the concept of healthy courtship?
Ah, the longer I think about it, the more this throbbing my head feels. Finally, I could only harbor feelings and allow time to answer all of those concepts.
Yes, although it has no meaning, but my relationship with that cold man has made little progress.
"I'm glad you were able to take part in the studies conducted by IREMA" Fatwa said as she approached me after the end of the study.
It is true, after knowing Fatwa, I began to often follow the studies conducted by IREMA. Not infrequently I see the astonished gazes of the newspapers, but I try not to pay attention to it.
"It's been so late, come on, I'll take you home!" said again.
I was shocked to hear the Fatwa's call. Oh my God .. did I not hear wrong? my inner.
"Kok even daydream, come on!"
Now, that cold man was standing before me. With my chest still shaking, I got up from my seat and followed the Fatwa's call.
"Hehehe, yes Fat," I replied in embarrassment.
We walked to the parking lot at the school. After finding the bike, Fatwa invited me to ride the bike. With a sense of uncertainty I got into that vehicle. A moment later, Fatwa launched his motorbike.
Quiescent. That was the only thing that accompanied our trip. Nothing is said of our lips. Honestly, my tongue feels muddy when faced with him. Especially this close. Ah, let this togetherness pass even without language.
After a 20-minute drive, we finally arrived at my house. I offered him to stop by. However, since it was already very late afternoon, Fatwa just said thank you and another time.

After a few days passed, I suddenly started to feel awkwardness in school. I don't know, I saw a cynical look from the IREMA children when I returned to the study. But, I tried to suppress my curiosity and ignored that gaze.
After storing the school bag, I went to the cafeteria to meet my three best friends.
"Do you know of any hot news trending topics in our schools?" ask Tika to my two friends.
"About Chi and Fatwa?" timpal Kak Lastri's.
I actually wanted to approach them, but when I heard Kak Lastri mention my name and the name of the stranger, I undo my intentions. I tried eavesdropping on their conversation to find out what kind of news it was about me and the man.
"Yes, I heard the news. Ish, I'm really sprained, who dares to spread such cheap gossip? Look out if I know, I know someone!" grouse Irma while clenching her hands.
The deg!
My heart stopped beating. A rumor? Aboutwhat? Why involve my name and the name of that cold man. The man who was even as unknown as his existence was due to an introvert.
Unable to stem the curiosity, I finally approached them.
"What rumors? Did I miss the news just because I often left you guys to follow the IREMA study?" I try to neutralize my emotions and assume that they're not talking about me.
"Eh, Chi .. when did you come?" asked Kak Lastri who was quite surprised to see my arrival. Actually not only Kak Lastri was surprised, Irma and Tika were just as surprised as Kak Lastri.
All three of my best friends looked at each other in response to my questions.
"Cock on those lyrics, anyway? Does this have anything to do with Chi?" I asked, trying to look further.
"Hhh." I heard Kak Lastri sighing heavily. "Actually, it's about your closeness to Fatwa, Chi," said Kak Lastri.
I was surprised to hear what Brother Lastri said.
"Me and the Fatwa?" ask me while frowning.
I saw Irma and Tika nod.
"Hey, what's wrong with us? Why should we be a source of gossip? Celebrity cake alone, hahaha," my gura covered the distress in the heart.
"Chi, this is no time for jokes. Currently, you are being the talk of children throughout SMA 1. For the children of IREMA, they are talking lo!" irma said in an annoyed tone because of my joke.
"Gue's not kidding, Ma! What good is it I joke about. I just don't think, what the hell are they gosipin about me? I'm not a celebrity, not a top model at this school, either" I said.
"Ish, you are Chi! Jan takes matters too lightly, napa?" irma murmur.
"Udah deh, justin aja, after all if you are tired, they stop themselves," I said.
"Ish, Chi .. you can't do it! You have to clarify. It concerns your self-esteem. I don't want my friend to be accused of being a no-no." Irma spoke in a furious tone. His face began to look red as it held in anger.
Actually, for me personally, I don't worry too much about what people are talking about me. But seeing Irma that emotion, I became curious, what things can actually be a trending topic in a school as popular as this?
"What are they talking about me about?" Finally, the question that triggered my curiosity was thrown out as well.
"It's about the closeness of lo ma Fatwa? They say, you enter IREMA just to get the attention of Fatwa doang. They say you're aggressive and you must have been tuh guy iced & yesterday he anterin lo go home! They accuse you of doing things beyond your time limit of getting lost, first," Irma said.
Uhuk!
I who was swallowing the bakwan finally choked also because of surprise.
Tika immediately took the glass mineral water, pierced the lid with a small straw and handed it to me.
The pain in my throat made me swallow that mineral water. After being swallowed, I wiped my mouth and looked at them one by one.
"Seriously?" manyaku.
My three friends just nodded their heads.
Ish, who's the mergokin I went home with. It was late afternoon and there was no one else around the school. I have to explain this to Fatwa, I don't want her to think badly of me, my inner self.
I quickly got out of the chair I was sitting in. "Girls! I'll pull it off, okay?"
"Chi, where are you going?"
I just waved my hand answering Irma's question. I want to meet the cold man immediately and try to clarify the rumors that are circulating.
