The End of Two Semesters
Chapter 24 – Don't Scream


After breakfast, Arya invites Santi to a shopping center. Arya's car stops in front of a shop that is still covered by two floors. Rolling door is painted light blue it still looks tightly closed.


“Whose shop, Ar?” ask Santi.


“Come down, I'll tell you inside,” replied Arya.


“Inside? Meanin? This store is closed, Ar?” Santi is confused by Arya's words, but he can only obey her, Santi gets off the car, following Arya who is opening the shop door.


“Come in,” invite Arya.


Seen in the store there are already several storefronts, mannequins, and a pile of clothes that are still in the plastic. Arya gave all this to Santi. So that Santi manages his shop. Actually, it also belongs to the parents of his father. There is an intention to be sold, but Mr. Rozak said unfortunately if sold, renovated and contracted, because if contracted there is a turnover of money. Now Arya rented this to her father, yes even though this belonged to her father, and later it will also be hers, she still rented, fortunately the one who rented yesterday was not willing to continue the rent anymore.


“What's this, Ar?” ask Santi.


“So you are not saturated, I want you to take care of this boutique,” replied Arya.


“But, Ar? I've been too much trouble you, the house you rent, you want to marry me, even though until my son was born, now you even love like this? This is you renting or how?”


“I rent, where can I buy a two-story shophouse, San?” answer Arya. “Don't think about the rent, you grow your business here, I believe you can. You are a designer, plus a model. So it is suitable if you manage a boutique, and in your boutique this sells the results of your design, yes maybe the beginning can start with this stock. You just need to develop it, San. I'm sure you can,” said Arya.


“Arya .. You are very good, this already has stock goods, it is complete etalasenya, there are shelves, mannequins, and others. When did I just arrange things? I'm confused as to what this is gonna do, Ar. I can only thank you. That's all I can do right now. I do need a job, so that I am not saturated, and I also need money for my living expenses later with my son,” said Santi. “One more time thank you, Ar.”


“Have thought this was a gift or wedding gift from me. I promised you would find a shophouse? It's pretty expensive here shophouses are for sale, so I usually just rent, San. It's okay, right? The important thing is that you are busy, you are not saturated, do not think about anything else, you can turn your brain again to business, and to the positive. Start from zero, San. I'm sure you can kok.”


“Hmm .. I won't let you down, Ar. Thank you my contact husband?” he said with a chuckle. “Already I want to set this up first, keep me looking for a good day for the grand opening of this store.” Santi immediately looked at the stock of clothes that were already available, he looked around the model. All good, and the model is current.


“Ar,” call Santi.


“Ya, how? The model isn't old-fashioned, is it? I have acquaintances suppliers of batik clothes, dresses, and others, this I take from them all,” said Arya.


“Good, this model is all contemporary, yes the taste of young people now. Batik couple clothes are also models now all. Maybe if it's good I should invest in this store too. I did get money from my mom yesterday, can I contribute for capital in this store?”


“Bby, but if you need, yes no need. If you want the money to spin and so much, yes please make capital. You have a husband. As long as you are my wife, I will bear all the burdens of your life here. I'll take responsibility for everything, but one that I can't do.”


“What, Ar?” ask Santi to be curious.


Arya smiled anxiously at Santi's very curious face. Arya approached Santi, she rubbed Santi's head gently. Arya looked at the beautiful looking Santi with the divorced hair, Arya tucked Santi's hair behind her ears, and tidied it up because it was a little messy. “I can't touch you like a husband and wife, that's what I can't do, San,” she replied by commenting on the smile in front of Santi, her hand still gently rubbing Santi's head.


“I guess what, Ar. If that's what we talked about before marriage, right?” said Santi.


“I—iya, yes already yuk I help this arrangement, later I also help you find a good day for the grand opening of this boutique,” said Arya.


“About the name of this boutique what is it, Ar?” ask Santi.


“Can I give you a name?”


“Ya, please,” replied Santi.


“Anindya Boutique, good no?”


“Anindya? Who is Anindya?”


“Name your child, later if born female,” replied Arya.


“If it's a boy?”


“If it's a boy, Anindito maybe? Uh but not good, good, but less sreg only. I will think again if our child is born a boy,” replied Arya.


“Our son?”


“You are my wife, your son is also my son, right?” arya replied casually.


Santi just silently heard Arya's reply. Arya is very concerned with Santi, he is good, and very attentive with Santi's pregnancy. Arya is also always watching the intake of food and drinks Santi so that the child in the womb is healthy.


“Why are you ready to name a daughter?” ask Santi.


“Because you are beautiful while pregnant, continue to cry and quickly sulk,” replied Arya chuckled.


“H nyebelin you!” santi Tukas.


“Can the reality, Santi? Last morning you were snooping, right?”


“Where do I not crave, already know I'm hungry, even the same phone oky jelly drink!” the upset.


“Naira, not oky jelly drink!” arya said fix it.


“Finally it's your hungry procrastinator anyway, he said he was hungry, it's still a phone call!”


Arya just smiled. He continued to put his clothes into the storefront. He took a few models to hang and he put them on a mannequin. Even so, he arranged clothes into a new window he rapped.


“Ar, you buy this storefront all new, what is used?” ask Santi.


“There is a used one, but it is still good stuff. This is what in front of me, this I buy the same person that Mbak Sri introduced, he said it was selling storefronts and used cabinets that. Yes I tried to go there, but it was good, I took that one, to complete,” explained Arya.


“Iya because it still looks good all, and still new like.”


Until noon they clean the shophouse and arrange all the stock items. They arranged neatly, just the two of them, while chatting and getting more familiar.


“Eat yuk, San?” bring Arya.


“This moment is still not finished,” replied Santi.


“Bby, which is important tasty and filling,” replied Santi.


“Ya I've booked for a while.” Just about to open the app to order food, Arya's phone rang. Who else if not Naira, Arya directs the phone from Naira. He appreciates Santi, and learns from his experience this morning, when he wants to eat Naira call him. But, Naira calls him again, Arya is forced to accept.


“Nai, sorry I'm busy, call later, yes?”


Arya turned off the phone from Naira. Santi smiled at Arya who spoke like that.


“I'm not too hungry yet, Ar. Why is that answer? Later Naira was angry, I was once called Fano was angry anyway, call again gih. I'll order it myself is also okay, but it's important, right?” said Santi.


Arya knitted her brows, her forehead wrinkled and raised her shoulders. “This is you weird?” Arya is confused by Santi's attitude.


“Whim how, Ar? I said, I am not hungry yet, so I can still relax, the lion has not come out fangs and horns,” replied Santi chuckling.


“Horns? Since when is the lion horned? There seems to be no horned lion?” arya said with a chuckle.


“There, the song is Santi,” replied Santi.


“You're all there, San. What message do you want?” ask Arya.


“You order now? Didn't call Naira?”


“Iya now, I am hungry,” replied Arya.


“Pengin nasi padang, two servings dong, Ar. Wear parchment 3 equal rendangnya 2,” pinta Santi.


Aryan eyes rounded to hear Santi who asked for rice paddocks two servings with three parchments, and rendangnya 2. “What are you possessed by, San? Yesterday also ate rice paddies without running out?”


Santi giggled at Arya's facial expression. “Yes not possessed by anything, Ar? You play believe it anyway? Already one portion, use rendang, and two parchments. Keep vegetables and gravy in a lot of.”


“Oke, I order now. Just have a warm tea, huh?”


“Ih ice orange.”


“Do not ice, warm orange, yes?”


“Iya deh, same mineral water also yes, Ar?”


“Iya, Santi.”


Arya orders food for Santi and herself. He saw Santi who was very happy, and excited. Maybe because he will not be saturated anymore, because he already has the effort. Arya wanted to get a call from Naira. Right said Santi, Naira must be angry, and it turns out Naira was really angry, until chat many times to Arya.


“You're not usually gini, Ar. No matter how busy you are, you will still pick up my phone, unless there is your mother and father, you do not dare to pick up the phone from me. Your mother is outside, you don't have a reason to have your mother, I see your mother in the store! How are you different from yesterday, Ar? Who says they want to fight for this relationship? I'm tired, Ar! My father and mother have agreed, but you haven't moved to talk everything out with your mother!”


Arya riled with a rough rub of her head. Naira was really angry, until she called again.


“Is your girlfriend really angry?” said Santi who saw Arya riled from after the food message. “Telefon !” santi's Order.


“Let's go, eat up,” replied Arya.


“Do not later. Is your face also nervous? Don't be bad with me, I'm not hungry because, you know that hungry people are restless?” Santi chuckled at Arya's cute facial expression.


“No need to be her face, Ar?” Santi again tidied up the items and arranged them in the storefront.


“I like you who are restless, gemes see it,” said Arya.


“My turn is restless, ntar did you run away? There's Naira's phone again, before the lion's horn comes out!”


“Lion has no horns, Santi?”


Arya comes out of the store, she calls Naira. Santi exhaled his rough breath as Arya called Naira. There is a strange feeling in Santi when she saw her husband calling Naira, who is none other than her lover.


“Kok gini the hell it feels? Don't gini dong? Don't baper, Arya isn't just a temporary husband? Don't wear a heart, San. You don't get hurt by men anymore, just the last Fano, who hurt you. Don't mess around anymore, empty your heart first, and focus on your pregnancy,” said Santi by looking at Arya who was calling Naira.


Arya's face looks so bright, maybe Naira is not angry anymore, it seems Arya has managed to persuade Naira. Santi came out because he saw an online ojek who delivered his food. Not yet out she heard Arya speak softly to Naira.


“Don't sulk, Nai. I miss you too. Already yes, I'm busy outside.”


“Iya, love you too Dear ...”


Santi did not come out, he turned his body around with an unwelcome feeling. Her heart ached to hear Arya express love for her lover, when it was clear their relationship was opposed by both of their parents.


“Santi? How to get in again?” Arya had indeed seen Santi coming out to receive food from ojol, but she went straight in again.


“Ah want to grab a wallet in a bag,” replied Santi nervously.


“Wallet? What's that in your hand?” Santi did not realize he was holding his wallet.


“Ah yes it is a wallet, but the money is inside, use the money just later I take in the bag, how much in total? This is hundreds of thousands of money in the wallet, maybe his brother ojolnya no change?” nervous answer.


“It is not necessary, let me just pay,” said Arya.


Arya took her order. Then bring him in. Santi prepared a place to eat, they ate in the back room. There is a small table for eating, and there are also kitchen fixtures.


Santi immediately opened his food, he was hungry actually, but he could still hold it, because he was happy. It's good because it won't be at home anymore. He has a job, so he is happy, although it was a little hurt to see Arya happy when calling Naira.


Arya rubbed Santi's lips which were smudged at her fingertips. Santi was a little nervous, but he tried to get used to Arya's treatment. He no longer wants to get carried away, he does not want to take a sweet sip what Arya does.


“I must be ordinary, I must not be too late with the feeling that increasingly dominates the cavity of my heart. No, I can't be too comfortable, until love for Arya arises. Remember, he's only helping you, he's just helping you, so don't be haunted by his sweet deeds. She has a boyfriend!” santi said in her heart.
