MALIA

“About where are we going? ..”

Reiji's voice broke my daydream after I felt clumsy when he talked about kissing and then I chose to turn my face away, staring at the street outside the car windshield afterwards.

I also immediately looked at him. “Dih, can't you reach Ji?”

Reiji did not answer immediately, but I heard him grunt slowly, then shook his head slowly too, which I did not know why.

“Yes is an opinion. Who knows where you're going?... Maybe there is a place you want to visit?..”

Only then did Reiji speak again.

Reiji's attitude and tone were as usual again.

But there was a little stuff in my ears.

Ye?.

He describes himself as you.

And I just realized, some time ago he has started calling me not with ‘elo’ again, but rather ‘kamu’.

Yes, even if it is in certain moments Reiji talks with me-you mention to me, especially if we are with both parents both.

But now, for me, it's weird that Reiji uses my language - you fit together with me like this.

“Why?..”

I gasped a little.

“What?” I asked Reiji.

“Bengong!” Reiji exclaimed as he lightly touched my forehead.

“Who can try? ...”

I also dismissed Reiji's allegations just now.

I'm not really that dumb as well.

Just call ‘kamu’ from Reiji it's a little...

How huh?.

Awkward maybe for me?.

“So there is no specific idea or place you want to come?”

I shook my head.

“Aneh ..”

Reiji said, sounding like a mutter but I can still hear it.

“Kok freak?”

I also spontaneously asked.

“Yes is weird for me .”

Wait, Reiji just talked himself into what?. Me?.

“You're usually a baffle, so be quiet now.” Reiji.

“Feeling time ..” My speech. “Regularly I feel ..”

“You don't feel comfortable walking together with me now?”

And Reiji's question got me all clamped up.

“You're back to what?”

Reiji's second question left me gasping.

Not comfortable it feels less suitable to say why I was more silent when going alone with Reiji as, eemm, a couple can be said at this time.

“Kok you think so?”

I asked Reiji.

I sometimes refer to Reiji with elo, Rei, Ji, and especially if I call Reiji with 'you', - most of the time I get together with Reiji's parents and my parents.

Papa and Mama who like to reprimand me if I call Reiji with the name ‘elo’ or just call his name.

“I feel that said so ..”

Oh my gosh, Reiji is really serious about talking about himself with the word ‘aku’ now?.

“Do not like su’zon”

I also dismissed Reiji's suggestion of the discomfort he thought I was feeling right now.

When Reiji said his last sentence just now, I really became wrong.

“But if you do object, you should not save your objection.I think if you refuse, our parents will understand. I also understand . Instead of your mouth saying yes, but your heart is not sincere, it weighs on yourself. And finally yes like this, you feel uncomfortable.”.

Geez, how does Reiji understand how I feel?.

“Gue instead of ga comfortable.”

I interrupted Reiji's words.

“But awkward, maybe more precisely”

I spoke while looking at Reiji who was looking at me.

“If about matchmaking Insha Allah I have sincere”

I was still staring at Reiji, even though Reiji's focus was divided with him having to focus on the streets and also turning to me.

“Yes, that's right you said. There was a veiled protest of my time at Villa in front of your parents and my parents, in front of Avi as well.”.

And I turned my gaze to the car window in front of me, talking to Reiji but not looking at the man who was my future husband.

“But then I think that our parents are well-intentioned to make their friendship that is like this family, really tangible like family. And well, maybe this is their way. Match us”

Then I turned to Reiji where he was also looking at me. And then Reiji smiled. The kind of smile Reiji had never seen before, because this frozen food freezer guy, the whole life I've known, rarely smiled at me.

“Udah big yes Malia it turns out. Mature thinking” Reiji's speech made me spontaneously throb small. But then I was stunned. “Sini.” When Reiji said. I don't get it. But he spoke again. “Here is his hand” Reiji said again and I spontaneously glanced at his left hand that had been stretched out to me, with his palm above.

I'm speechless. My heart is raging a little. Hand grip? With Reiji?. I was pondering, until I heard a small snort from Reiji as he pulled his hand and moved the car gear.

“Rei.” My speech.

“It’s okay Lia. I get it ..”

Reiji looked at me, he smiled.

But his smile was nothing like Reiji's previous smile.

“Sorry yes, I am in a hurry maybe”

And Reiji's words somehow made me feel bad, feel guilty even.

“Ya already want to continue the road or want to go home? Later if I bablas tetep invite you to walk according to my choice do not protest, huh?.. The toll road is still a bit far.. later.”

And Reiji stopped the chimney, just as I placed my right palm, on the back of Reiji's standby left hand in the car gear.

Reiji was stunned, until then a shady smile like the one he had shown appeared on Reiji's face which swore to add to the handsome man who in the next three months will become my husband.

And when Reiji turned his hand and then hooked his fingers between my fingers, there was a strange feeling that began to creep through my heart. Oh my God, this fast did I fall into the charm of a Reiji Shakeel?.

REIJI

‘Oh man! ..’

That's what I mentioned in my heart when Malia showed up to go with me.

Honestly to be honest, I was stunned to see Malia, to make me misbehave myself because it seems my amazement at Malia was so noticeable, until I was dumb, maybe?.

Worse I was fascinated by Malia to stare in front of my two camer.

It feels, uh it does not feel anyway, since before our matchmaking at Villa, I had not met Malia for a long time, communicate only through just chat aja was not like her.

Malia is very close to Avi.

Not near anymore, you could say. Tight and tight, to be precise.

But not with me. Although the count of Malia who was in fact the same age as Avi was known for his entire life until now with me, but the closeness of me and Malia can be said to be ordinary.

Besides well, I think Malia's like a little sister like Avi.

I never pay attention to Malia intensely, although I realize from the first point of view Malia is undeniably beautiful.

When Malia started college, I started to pay a little attention to her. Until the time he was at graduation and I also came directly to the place where Malia graduation was held, even I martial arts came directly with my pilot uniform and a little became the center of attention.

Ahem!

Understand the handsome guy.

Malia smiled when she saw me coming after her graduation ceremony had just finished and she came out of the building with her parents, my parents and Avi.

That day Malia was at graduation. While Avi is different campus with Malia, just next week the graduation event. I've taken time off for Avi's graduation day. And for Malia's graduation day, I've arranged my work schedule in such a way that I can attend Malia's graduation that day.

Although my relationship with Malia was not tight because we often argued if we met, but I felt guilty if I did not attend Malia's graduation. I was astonished too. I don't know why I had such thoughts. But I'm obviously happy to see Malia at her graduation.

Although well, I came when Malia's graduation ceremony was over. At least I could see the beauty of Malia that day. Until my lips curled up automatically when I saw her walking towards me with a smile that made Malia's face look more beautiful. Until then whether Malia was conscious or not, she just scattered.

Where, that second too...

I felt a strange bang in my heart.
