The End of Two Semesters
Chapter 15 - Dating

Arya invites Santi out to enjoy nature, breathe fresh air, cool the eyes with the atmosphere of hills and green trees.

“We're going to the mountain, Ar?” ask Santi.

“We want to have a casual coffee while chatting in a cool and beautiful place, anyway you must love the atmosphere,” said Arya.

“Hmm ... Surely you come here often?” ask Santi.

“Ehm ... not yet, just this time. I asked the same friend of mine who has been here, he said it's good the place,” replied Arya.

“I thought you were here with your lover first?” said Santi.

“Never, don't talk about it. We go there, we want to talk about us. We need a cool, clear atmosphere for our minds. So that it is not as sweet as it continues,” said Arya. “You also seem to need a fairly fresh atmosphere, let your mind calm down, see the green nature, feel the coolness of nature, and make us relax,” added Arya.

“Iya anyway, the atmosphere is quite pampering the eyes, Ar,” said Santi.

“Everything I brought you here,” said Arya.

After traveling for a long time, Arya and Santi finally arrived at a beautiful place. Arya immediately parked her car, and took Santi for a walk to see the beautiful scenery before she reached the cafe.

Arya's hand from earlier kept on muttering Santi's hand. It was all because the terrain was rather steep, and somewhat slippery as well. So, Arya looks after Santi, afraid Santi slips or falls.

After a happy walk. Arya invites Santi to rest, she chooses a cafe to rest while enjoying coffee and food. Arya also wants to convey something to Santi about his meeting with his parents.

“Santi, I want to say to you, but you don't get angry, yes?” arya.

“You said what?” ask Santi. “I'm not angry if you don't tell me to go home, I'd rather get married while with you, than I was told to go home,” he said.

“Oke, I want to be honest with you, if yesterday the time I returned to Jakarta, I met your parents,” said Arya.

“Already thought, surely you met him? What the hell, Ar? Am I following you, Ar? What do you want anyway?” santi said annoyed.

“I'm just saying, if I took you away, I also said I'd marry you. But, papa you forbid it,” explained Arya.

“Crazy you! I'm sure papa will tell people to take me home! Ar, I don't want to go home! Surely this city has a lot of people papa!” santi panicked. “I don't want to marry that guy, Ar?” Santi was really scared and panicked, that his papa would send people and pick him up home, then be told to marry the paid man of his papa.

“Papa you won't be here. Will not catch up with you. Take it easy, you're safe here. Papa you seem to be very disappointed with you, San. He let you go, and told me not to marry you, so that you would be alone, living by yourself. But, unlike your mama, your mama gave me permission to marry you, and that dress, it was your mama's gift, your mama made it for you. Your mother also left this for you. He is very worried about you. Actually, he'd love to attend our wedding, but your mom is scared of your dad. You know what your papa is like, right?” obviously Arya, by giving her the brown envelope she took from inside her sling bag.

Santi fell silent, not feeling his tears dripping because he missed his mother. Her mother is the only one who understands Santi, and knows what Santi is feeling. Santi opened the brown envelope Arya gave him earlier. Didn't expect his mother to give him a lot of money. Santi knows, surely his mother drained all the money from his savings, because the amount is very much.

“Have not cried, if you want to talk to your mama, this is just a phone or video call,” said Arya.

“I'm not ready to talk and look into my mom's face, Ar,” Santi said.

“Ya will be later when it is ready. Already do not cry, the food is eaten, then we go home, yes?” arya.

“I'm relieved, have already told this to you, San. I am from yesterday confused, how to say it, I am afraid you are angry with me,” said Arya.

“I'm disappointed with you, but how else, you've been there. That should be so, you said goodbye to my parents to marry me. I don't care papa does not agree, as long as mama has approved,” said Santi.

“My mom and dad knew too, and they also blessed me to marry you, Santi,” Arya said. “Even you persuaded your father to grant you to marry me. It turns out that the father is familiar with your father, but after your father rarely to the shophouse in the land of brother who is close to the shophouse owned by the father, so they rarely see you again. But, your papa clean hard does not want to bless the marriage while we are,” added Arya.

“Your mother and father? Sure they agree? And papa knows your father?” santi asked unexpectedly.

“Yes, he said we'd be here if we got married. I don't want to lie to mom and dad, because getting married is something sacred, Santi? Although our marriage is in agreement, and will only last one year,” said Arya.

“Yes, my father knows your father,” replied Arya.

“Thank you, Ar. You really are a good man. I don't know what to say but thank you. Once again thank you, Ar,” said Santi by holding Arya's hand.

“Iya both. So we have a witness that we are married, and we do not lie to our parents, even though we are lying, because married on a contract agreement,”, said Arya.

“Iya, Ar. At least they know, even though my papa does not want to know,” said Santi.

“Perhaps papa is still disappointed with me, I am like this, even though papa loves me very much. But the way you love me is so wrong. Not affection but restraint,” said Santi.

“Already, don't be like that? Later also your father will melt his heart. Yuk's gone home? There is still much we have to prepare,” said Arya.

“Yes already yuk, but before you go home want no photos with me there, on the bridge? The view is beautiful, Ar,” pinta Santi.

“By yuk to it,” invite Arya.

They took pictures together. Change some poses to get a good photo. After being satisfied with the photos and seeing the natural scenery from the top of the suspension bridge, Santi invited Arya to go home.

On the way home, Santi continued to look at the results of his shots earlier. He saw the photo with Arya. Santi smiled looking at him, not expecting the results of his photos are very good. There is a photo taken by people, which shows Arya slightly close her body to Santi's body, like hugging.

“If only I had met Arya a long time ago? Must not be like this story? Don't fantasize about you Santi! Good thing you know and run away with good people? If not impossible he gave money deposit from this mama?” santi Gumam.

Arya from earlier noticed Santi who was smiling herself looking at the photo on her phone.

“Funny anyway, anyways fall in love how the hell?” said Santi.

“Ya time only?” arya.

In the middle of the trip they were caught in heavy rain, so the distance to the front was not visible because it was covered in heavy rain and wind. It is impossible for Arya to drive her car home and break through the torrent of rain, because it is very dangerous, especially the terrain is also dangerous.

“Santi, let's find a shelter for a moment, huh? Let the rain go a little. It doesn't look like a way,” said Arya.

“Ar, where are you going? It's in the middle of the forest?” said Santi.

“It looks forward a little more there is a villa or what. We're going there?” ask Adhan.

“Ehm .. if going home is dangerous, we better pull over, Ar,” replied Santi.

“Ya we have a way forward a little more,” said Arya.

“Slow down, Ar,” says Santi with a little fear.

“Yes, this is slow? And the rain is getting worse, Santi? It is really dangerous if we continue the journey to go home,” said Arya.

“Ya already, so we pull over first, Ar,” said Santi.

Luckily there was an inn along the road that Arya and Santi went through. Many people also shade there, because the rain is really very heavy. Many cars pull over there. Luckily, there is a cafe next to the villa.

“We go down, keep going into that caffe huh?” bring Arya. “Or do we rent a villa? In the room?” he nodded with a chuckle.

“Gak! Ntar you macem-macem same me!” the answer.

“Ya time only?” arya. “That's next to the umbrella, you just wear it,” said Arya.

“Then you?” ask Santi.

“No need, you only,” replied Arya.

“Yakin? It rains hard, huh?” said Santi.

“Ya already here umbrella, we use together,” said Arya.

Arya came out, and opened Santi's door. They walked towards the cafe next to the villa. Didn't expect the weather to be this extreme. Though from a bright afternoon, after the afternoon even heavy rain, until the road is not visible.

Arya orders a warm drink for Santi, and a snack for him. They talked while enjoying warm drinks and snacks. The worms in Santi's stomach were already kicking again.

“Hungry, yes?” Arya asked who heard Santi's stomach ringing.

“Iya, Ar. Hungry once,” replied Santi.

“Awhile I order food for you.” Arya immediately ordered food for Santi. Luckily the food menu at the cafe is quite complete and varied.

Arya sat down again after ordering food for Santi and herself. Santi was still enjoying the toast with a glass of warm chocolate milk that he ordered earlier.

“Waiting, yes? Still can be stuffed milk and bread is hungry?” ask Arya.

“Still, anyway. Thank you, Ar?” said Santi.

“Iya both. If you're hungry, you say it, Santi? Let's not gini. Pity your child, fortunately we are in a cafe that is complete with food menu? If not? Pity your son,” said Arya.

“Ya actually I am from earlier still hungry, but embarrassed to say you,” replied Santi.

“It's worth a snack in the car spent all of you?” joking.

Arya still sees the face of Santi who looks very beautiful and natural. Accidentally, Arya's hand was moved to wipe the lips of Santi who had brown milk marks.

“Ih, what is Ar?” santi asked in shock, Arya's hand suddenly stretched out to rub her lips.

“Before, you are overwhelmed, there is chocolate milk left on your lips,” said Arya by wiping Santi's lips.

“Masa anyway? Thanks, Ar,” he said with a little groggy.

“Iya, equally. Don't be a little boy dong?” said it.

“Wh what the hell, Ar? How do I know I'm a straw?” said Santi.

For what sakes Santi really nervous. His heart rate is increasingly racing to get Arya's treatment like that.

“Quiet, Santi. Don't be provoked. Arya Gini is just a concern? Not more?” santi Gumam.
