My student's my future husband?
(C2) Ep 26. Rivalries
The sun is getting up, the atmosphere of the meeting and the longing is still going on. Heavy dishes are served on the buffet table. Now the guests take turns taking the menu of dishes available, lined up neatly queue in the rows they make themselves while choosing about what menu is preferred.
The line of parents first took the food menu before the dzuhur adhan arrived. While teenagers, still fun to play with his own busyness. Arsene is still holding Finn who is now getting bored, whether sleepy. He tried to calm her down while patting her gently on the back. While Zaara was still engrossed in swinging around with two little children in front of her.
“Why not bring it to his mommy?” zaara asked to see that Arsene was still busy holding Finn by his side.
"Stage" Arsene replied.
Finn put his head on his brother's shoulder, it looks like he's sleepy. His puffed up hands were cuddled inside his own mouth. His eyes began to fade.
“He slept no?” arsene asked Zaara.
Zaara came down from her swing, because from there she could not see Finn's condition bowed to Arsene's shoulder. The girl approached Arsene's back, then bent her body slightly while looking at Finn's face. True, the baby is now closed in the sling of the brother.
“Finn is asleep, Sen!”
“Bener?” arsene asked unsure.
“Iya!”
“Thank God,” says Arsene.
“Great yes, can boboin baby!” puji Zaara's.
“Haha, this is a secret ability. There are still many other secrets that I can work on,” said Arsene made Zaara look at him in wonder.
“Emang what?”
“Naklukin your heart,” his god chuckles.
Zaara gave her a whiff, but she blushed also from the look on her face.
“I go to the room first yes, want to come?” goda Arsene again.
“Arsene!” Zaara glared at him.
Arsene just smiled in response, he passed from there, still holding his laughter because he managed to make Zaara blush groggy. Whether Abi and Umi Zaara noticed them or not, she just felt her feelings for Zaara were getting bigger.
Without realizing it, a sharp gaze was fixed on the two who were now separated. That gaze highlighted them from the very beginning Zaara went into that swing. The owner of the gaze sighed in annoyance, because he felt useless at this meeting, even though his initial goal was to meet his beloved girl who was actually together with other men.
“Mas Raffa, eat first. Bring Graceful!” said his mother, Sita.
“Iya, Ma!” lazy answer.
“You why the hell, bete's face?” ask Sita who has taken her lunch plate.
“Gak why-napa.”
“Tuh ajakin Zaara eat! You guys chat there, same Arsene also let not bete!” sita Exclamation.
Hearing his mother's words, Raffa immediately went to Zaara who was taking a glass filled with lychee syrup.
“Ra, eat yuk! Let's be together!” raffa exclaimed after he also invited his younger sister who was still Junior High School. Because the teenagers there have not taken the lunch menu, they become awkward. Zaara followed Raffa who had taken his plate first and stood behind Anggun. The three headed for a chair close to their parents, and ate there.
Arsene returned after putting Finn to bed in her parents' room. He searched for the figure of Zaara who turned out to have been sitting next to Anggun near Raffa. The man with the sharp-nosed man exhaled, then turned to Rainer and Zayyan who were chatting while taking shelter under a tree.
“Rain, Yan! Let's eat first!” he shouted at the two familiar young men.
“Yuk ah!” bring Rain.
Arsene was still watching Zaara from afar while enjoying her lunch under a shady tree with Rain and Zayyan. There are no other teenage girls, so Zaara has no friends here. Just try if there is Fea, Zaara will definitely not be lonely. Unfortunately, Fea was in Jakarta, the girl was visiting her parents.
Raffa got up from his seat and put his old dinner plate in a place provided. Then the man took two small plates of sweet pudding with vanilla vla sauce.
“Ra, here for you!” raffa said as she offered her pudding.
“Eh, thanks!” zaara answered, taking the small plate, without rejecting it.
“Make me where, Mas?!” graceful protest asking for her pudding ration as well.
Forced Raffa to give the other plate to his youngest brother, then again take it for him again.
Arsene noticed all that, how Raffa tried to be nice to Zaara, so he rushed into his house to the kitchen, taking some special cupcakes that he had stored in his storage cabinet. Cupcake is indeed made special, seen from the many creams and sauces and blueberries and strawberries on it.
With a tray filled with some special cakes, Arsene walked towards the back porch of the house. He approached Zaara like a waiter in a restaurant.
“You try?” she smiled as she offered the beautiful looking cakes. The man also stole a glance at Raffa sitting there, seen swerving towards him.
Of course, the beautiful decoration of the purple and pink cupcake attracted Zaara's eyes, let alone her favorite taste there. Zaara seemed confused, which variant she should choose. Blueberries have been used, but they love it. As for the strawberry cupcake, he had never tasted it at all. He wanted to take both variants.
“You can take two too,” said Arsene as if knowing the desire of the girl in front of him.
“Truth?” zaara asked unsure.
“Yes, for sure!”
Two cupcakes were taken immediately after getting an answer from Arsene. The man also offered Anggun and Raffa who were there. Just like Zaara, Anggun took two cupcakes, while Raffa seemed to be taking them, so the man rejected them subtly.
Arsene offered the cookies to other guests. Ferdian said that the cakes presented here, namely cupcakes and cookies are all made by Arsene. Of course, Arsene was a flood of praise from the guests, making the young man blush, but there was a sense of pride, let alone it happening in front of his rival, Raffa.
The seat next to Zaara looked empty. It made Arsene, who had just come from the kitchen, to put the cake back in, pull the chair and sit down to take a distance from the girl so that she was closer to Raffa.
“Abang Raffa lecture where?” arsene asked open the conversation of the young people.
“Call Mas aja,” he said with a stiff smile.
“Oh, Mas Raffa, where is college now?” Arsene repeated the question.
“University of Earth Pertiwi,” the answer is short.
“What semester, Mas?”
“Now want semester 7,” answer again.
“Iya hopefully. Where are you going, Sen?” ask Raffa.
“Um ... still upset, hehe!” answer Arsene.
“Ra, where do you want to go to college?” this time Raffa asked him.
“Kanya want to try in the science of communication or literature for the second choice,” replied the girl while trying to clean the crumbs of cake or cream in her mouth.
“What university?” ask Arsene.
“If not in UBP, I entered UM aja.”
Arsene and Raffa nodded at the same time.
“Ask UBP only, FIKOM is good. FIB is also popular.” said Raffa responded to Zaara's wishes.
“Iya, wanted. Hopefully you can pass the test later,” said Zaara.
“Hopefully, you are pinter and beautiful. Definitely pass!” raffa said praising Zaara, Arsene glanced at him, Raffa like a close acquaintance with Zaara only, can-can praise like that especially plus the frills of the word beautiful, is not that the mode of his name. Fortunately, Zaara did not respond too much to Raffa's praise. Arsene is not too hot.
“What majors Ra?” ask Arsene.
“If fikom choice of communication science, if literature choice is English or Indonesian.”
Arsene seemed to be thinking seriously, he knew his great desire was to take up a cooking academy at Le Cordon Bleu. But somehow the desire was getting lost, he felt that something was lacking in him so he wanted to pursue it first. He'll find out first. The course at Le Cordon Bleu will begin in six months. He felt he still had time to determine his future from now on.
“Ra, can I have whatsapp number?” raffa asked.to Zaara's surprise.
“Sorry for what, Mas?”
“Who knows need help information related to UBP, I happen to have friends in FIKOM and FIB.”
“Ooh ... later the most I contact via Aunt Sita aja yes?” said Zaara sungkan.
Raffa bowed while nodding.
Hearing that, Arsene is eager to talk about Raffa who continues to mode for pdkt. He doesn't even have Zaara's number despite almost a year of being my countryman. They communicate via Karin, and that too if there is a need.
"Zaara never checked my teeth?" ask Raffa.
“I often do,” he said smiling.
“Your teeth are good right?” ask Raffa again.
“Alhamdulillah, I diligently brush my teeth at least 2 times a day,” replied Zaara.
“Good! The important thing is that teeth are maintained, and check with the doctor regularly so that there is no relief if there is a damaged tooth,”, explained the prospective dentist.
Zaara smiled as she was reminded.
Arsene is aware that Raffa is very interested in Zaara. Arsene had to figure out a way for Zaara to become interested in him, so that the prospective dentist next to him slowly withdrew.
“Ra, do you like to read novels?” this time Arsene asked.
“Great joy,” replied Zaara looked enthusiastic.
“What novellikes?”
“Roman religion so deh, hehe rather how ya?” he blushed.
“What are the tastes of people will be different, the important interest in reading is great,” replied Arsene appreciated.
Raffa looked down on Arsene who started to control the course of their talks. Moreover, Zaara looked enthusiastic about the topic.
“What novel do you like, Sen?” ask Zaara.
“From childhood, mommy gave me classic children's literature books. So now my reading is also not far from it, but I prefer the fantasy genre.”
“Well cool, umi also likes that story. But more complaining anyway, because umi does not really understand the contents, because the English is heavy, hihi!”
Arsene laughed with Zaara. His heart was content to feel it won the wheel of that conversation from Raffa.
“Mommy has many novels above, want to see?” haggard Arsene.
“Novel what is it?”
“How much, I have not seen all the collections. Just not all classical literature, there are also rich popular novels by J. K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, Stephenie Meyer. There are also works from Indonesian novelists as well.”
“Wow, cool!”
“Come if you want to look around, Mas Raffa also yuk might like to read novels!” arsene said enthusiastically.
Zaara seemed to be smiling stiffly at Arsene's invitation.
“Still. But later only sometime, not good also the same people here,” said Zaara sungkan. The girl was of course uncomfortable, let alone the people being gathered all here. Should he be alone or threesome with these handsome guys in the house? It seems impossible.
“Ah yes!” arsene's response, looks a little disappointed.
This time Raffa is seen trying to hold his breath and laugh, because Arsene's invitation was also rejected by Zaara. It looks like their competition's match score is 1-1, or maybe it's still 0-0. I don't know.
