THE DISCONTINUE!¡
CHAPTER 8: DATING
Raport was accepted and the class holidays arrived. Halwah and Kalan had just delivered both Halwah's parents to the station while Kalan's father flew straight to the Netherlands for his new hotel business.
Kalan threw his body on the sofa, letting Halwah look back at the lines of value in his report. No matter what reason, the girl always giggled every time she opened the value sheet of hers. Kalan frowned, he looked at Halwah in wonder; “My grades are funny, huh?”
Unexpectedly, Halwah nodded while giggling slightly. This made Kalan flinch and hide his shy expression. Of course, the value which is only equivalent to the average value, is less than the average value of Halwah 9. Well, Kalan admitted he was a little lazy in studying.
“Kalan, you admit that Math is a monster. But, look at it now! Your highest grade is Math!” halwah's laughter exploded, holding her stomach.
While Kalan, the young man just stared flat and chose to close his eyes again with the right elbow that closed his forehead. Halwah smiled after a satisfied laugh, she chose to go upstairs and put the report of the two of them onto the glass shelf that Kalan bought yesterday. He said, “I want our Raport to be safe, your value is amazing so put it in a place that is awake.” Remembering this makes Halwah feel amused again.
In a bit, he was surprised by Kalan's attitude which sometimes felt warm and cold. Although, her face is not much expression, Halwah is quite sure if her husband is a good person. From the beginning, he did fall in love with Kalan's attitude, didn't he?
“What are you thinking?” kalan's voice that appeared suddenly made Halwah flinch, the girl even closed the glass rack door with a slight tightness. Halwah stroked her chest softly after knowing the voice had just come from Kalan.
Kalan's forehead frowned, like someone thinking of something before the young man walked into the room and grabbed the jeans hanging on the closet door. Then, after wearing it Kalan opened a special wardrobe jacket and took two jackets of the same color, then gave the other to Halwah. Sometimes, Kalan does like to be weird.
“A-what is this?”
“Ayo, streets.”
“Hah?”
“Holiday, want a first date?”
--
Halwah. He clasped tightly onto the string of his milk-brown jacket that was exactly the same as Kalan's, occasionally glancing shyly at Kalan who was walking leisurely beside him. If you can be honest, this is the happiest day for Halwah. There have been many days with Kalan, but this is the second time he is very happy and grateful because he was paired with a man like Kalan.
The first was that as Kalan clasped his hand walking to class, the young man also blatantly gave him advice not to forget to pray before taking the test. That is what invites the perception of people if the smartest students of the class are dating the arrogant conglomerate. In fact, close friends of Halwah until now continue to ask how she can attract the heart of the ice prince of the school. Perhaps, if they knew the fact they would be even more shocked.
Halwah gasped in surprise when Kalan suddenly stopped, she looked up and looked at Kalan in surprise. The young man stared flat into the window of a flower shop. Is Kalan going to buy her flowers? Just thinking about it made Halwah unable to hold back her smile.
“Halwah,”
“I-Yes?”
“You look like something there.” Kalan said, his right hand raised pointing at a sunflower pot that perched sweetly in front of the storefront.
“Hah?”
“I don't know much about the types of flowers, but that's the most beautiful thing I see. You look like that flower, look bright and always cheerful.” Obviously Kalan, unknowingly his words caused a bright smile from Halwah's face.
So, is there any reason Halwah refused Kalan's simple request?
--
They then stopped at a shopping mall. Kalan said he wanted to buy some pieces of the latest lego series and Halwah was free to go anywhere he wanted. But, stupidly the girl instead asked to buy a drink and chose to sit like a fool in front of a lego shop.
Half of the contents of his drink glass has been inhaled, but the trunk of Kalan's nose does not appear. The young man only came out after his drink ran out and Halwah almost died of boredom. Kalan only smiled faintly and gave a slight pat on the top of his head, again inviting a red hue on both cheeks.
Kalan invited Halwah to lunch at a Japanese restaurant, they ordered the same menu that made Halwah want to vomit because of the spicy taste. While the young man before him only showed a mediocre expression. Ah, Halwah does suck at eating all kinds of foods that contain chili.
After eating both choose to tour the mall area, Halwah is busy paying attention to the latest clothing models. As for Kalan, the young man desperately refrained from grasping Halwah's hand which occasionally nudged his hand.
When Ashar arrived, the two prayed and Kalan waited a while in front of Musholla before Halwah came out with a fresh face. And the feeling of something tickling the lower abdomen of Kalan was again present. It seems, the last few days Kalan is experiencing quite serious problems with his digestion and brain. Because, when doing anything sometimes Halwah's face that immediately crossed, even when he urinated he immediately remembered the sound of Halwah's laughter that made Kalan often undo the intention to defecate. He may need a doctor, remind Kalan to contact Nafisah's father who served as the Lazuardy family's personal doctor.
“Halwah,” kalan voiced when the two chose to eat at a street store that offers typical Bandung food, Batagor. The cool halwah devouring his batagor looked up and looked at Kalan with raised eyebrows.
“What is delicious?” ask Kalan
Halwah smiled and nodded in response and went back to devouring her batagor. Until, the girl realized that Kalan's batagor was completely untouched.
“Walk, you didn't eat?” halwah asked, he was worried that Kalan might not be used to food on the roadside. Since childhood, Kalan was born with a golden spoon on his tongue, how could Halwah forget that fact? It seems like he chose the wrong place to eat.
“Ah, you're definitely not used to it. I'm sorry!” Halwah was about to clear her plate and bag, before Kalan quickly held Halwah's arm and shook her head slowly with a knot on her lips.
“It's okay, I just keep watching you eat. I'll eat now.” Kalan said with a smile, again making Halwah blush embarrassed for some time today.
After eating, Kalan's second groceries left to the private driver who came to pick up using a motorcycle at Kalan's request. Then, the two chose to walk after a 10-minute bus ride as Kalan's idea, which he said he wanted to get closer.
Halwah smiled with satisfaction, she looked up at Kalan who was completely expressionless, but still looked handsome from any angle. Halwah looked back to the front, lip smacking and then said; “I'm happy today, you took me for a walk and just wanted to eat on the road with me.”
Hearing that, Kalan painted a knot. With determination, Kalan grabbed Halwah's fingers. He brought the tiny hand into his grasp without turning to the girl who was now shocked by the increasingly visible red tinge.
“Alhamdulillah, if you are happy.”
And that afternoon, along with the appearance of a beautiful twilight bias, Kalan's smile rose.
