Chapter 14

First date?

A blouse tosca tufted at the end of the shirt combined with black toad pants and cream-colored pashmina hijab and black flatshoes to be an option Ane wrapped her tiny legs.

Their smiles were unceasingly directed at Ane when the girl was in front of her eyes. The two compact farewell to Ratna and Rangga, especially Bhanu asked permission to take Ane for a walk. Bhanu and Ane walk together towards the car, even Bhanu did not forget to open the car door for Ane, a soft voice belonging to Ane was heard back in Bhanu's ear when the girl said a word of thanks.

In the car there was silence, but it was only a few moments when one of them opened his voice more precisely Bhanu.

The tail of Bhanu's eyes glanced at Ane who was sitting quietly holding his hand staring straight at the passing car.

“Where are we going?”

Ane heard the voice suddenly glanced at Bhanu who made it too even though just a glance, the girl shook her head slowly if she did not know, but so deeply, in her heart, Ane grumbled because Bhanu invited him and now why Bhanu seemed to not know where to go.

Bhanu thinks it's a good place to take Ane. Attached to his mind is Jogja City Mall as the place they will go, after thinking about it is not a bad idea, because in the Mall provides many options for them later.

A few minutes later they had arrived, Ane tidied up his appearance before getting off the car, not forgetting Bhanu opened the door to Ane.

“Thank you, but the next time I don't need to, Ane can just open the door yourself,”

Bhanu replied with just a smile and let Ane walk first and then he followed and walked along. The two steps were in harmony, Ane was still confused about where especially Bhanu also did not say anything.

“You hungry?” Bhanu turned to Ane who was rewarded with a headband. “Ya we have watched it run out of food,” he continued deciding because if you give Ane an offer or choice Ane will definitely answer whatever or just do not know.

Both entered the cinema, they were presented with a choice of 4 feature films, 2 Indonesian films and 2 western films. Ane's eyes seemed to focus on staring at a screen featuring posters of Indonesian films with the genre of comedy—romantis, Bhanu who had been confused could finally determine the choice of watching a film that was a movie poster from earlier Ane look.

Bhanu chose a seat that was in the middle, not to forget before watching Bhanu buy snacks to accompany them during the screening. The row of seats Bhanu ordered were apparently filled by men until he decided for Ane to sit in a corner and himself sat right next to the other male audience. As Ane walked towards the chair, Bhanu walked slightly tilted to the left covering the back of Ane's body so as not to come into contact with other men.

Bhanu gives drinks along with popcorn and other snacks to Ane.

“Mas, how do you love me all, have which mas?” ane wonders to Bhanu because the snacks Bhanu bought are all given to her.

“Iya, let Mas buy for you, it's easy, Mas is quite the same,“ Bhanu raised a cup of coffee-based drinks on Ane.

Ane rolled her eyeballs and then said again, “ya already this for both of us,” Bhanu just nodded with a smile. Both focus on a large flat screen because the film has been started, up to 15 minutes in progress, Ane began to eat popcorn while Bhanu looks anther does not touch popcorn or other snacks. Ane just choose cuek, so it does not feel popcorn is half of the package. Ane then switched to plucking the waffle and eating it, her eyes glancing at Bhanu as if not bothered at all, so focused on watching the movie. Ane turns to a package containing a chicken burger that smells so tempting, when he wants to taste it, Ane thinks if he should offer Bhanu first what if Bhanu actually wants to just be ashamed of him.

“Mas,” Bhanu so focused that he did not hear Ane call. Until making the girl touch Bhanu's hand, of course, Bhanu immediately turned her eyes to watch Ane's hand touch her hand.

“Sorry,” Ane pulls her hand and instantly looks disappointed from Bhanu for Ane's action, whereas Bhanu is eager to feel Ane's touch on her longer, even though she is still feeling the pain, honestly, since earlier Bhanu refrained from touching or grasping Ane's hand because he did not want to make Ane uncomfortable.

“Its okay, why?”

Ane take a burger to be given to Bhanu, “Mas want to try?”

“You've tried?” instead of answering instead Bhanu gave a question to Ane—the girl shook her head and then Bhanu again said, “you've tried it first only later Mas try,”

“But later Ane dong, Mas! If Mas want not papa eat only, Ane eat the waffle,”

“Gakpapa, anyways the same as Mas's own wife, yaudah eat first,” said Bhanu.

Ane became misbehaved, it was possible that her cheeks had blushed. Ane then began to bite the burger, his eyes still watching Bhanu who had been focused on watching the film. Ane thought why Bhanu was so sure of him. Ane will question that later. Bhanu drank his drink, when he was about to put the cup in his place, Ane grabbed the cup and replaced the burger he had tasted but he thrust the burger in the part that Ane had not yet bitten.

“Eat first!” exclaiming Ane narrowed her eyes as if threatening Bhanu to immediately obey her orders. Bhanu pointed her mouth at the part that had been bitten by Ane just by making Ane fixated for a few seconds.

“Mas, how to bite in the former Ane? Kan earlier Ane accidentally love the part that has not been touched,” Ane pursed her lips glared at Bhanu.

“No papa would be a wife,” chirps Bhanu smiling sweetly towards Ane.

Ane instead blushed like that but now put on an annoyed face and even imitate Bhanu's speech.

“No papa would be a wife,”

Bhanu laughs, “dosa loh, tease the future husband like that,”

Ane puffed her cheeks upset, “yah, mas that too, anyway! Was Mas the future husband of Ane? Since when?”

“Since yesterday,”

Ane spontaneously hit Bhanu's burly arm in annoyance.

“Tau ah, dark!”

“Ya, it's dark dear, the film is not finished,” timpal Bhanu.

Ane wants to be angry but not so, hearing Bhanu call him dear makes him feel awkward, he said, in the heart of why Ane does not feel uncomfortable or disgusted when all this time if Ane gets the call from a person who is not so close will feel uncomfortable and disgusted at that person. Thinking about it made Ane dizzy himself and chose to re-chew a snack on his lap.

An hour and forty-five minutes later, the movie ended. Ane and Bhanu get out of the cinema, Bhanu invites Ane to eat before returning home. Sushi became Bhanu's choice, it was a long time he did not eat sushi and approved by Ane.

A variety of sushi dishes are served at the table. There are spicy crispy roll, salmon fried roll, salmon jelly sushi, Chicken katsu and spicy miso ramen as well as iced passion fruit tea and strawberry froz tea drinks.

Spicy miso ramen is an order Ane—the girl devours food solemnly to forget the question to be asked to Bhanu while the man is the same as Ane who so deliciously ate his order, namely chicken katsu and do not forget to taste one by one the ordered sushi. Ane's ramen bowl was running out, she was tasting salmon Belly sushi and the others. In between the two enjoying the food greedily, Ane could not help her curiosity anymore.

Before saying a word, Ane took a drink of her strawberry froz tea and folded her hands on the table, her eyes straight at Bhanu chewing.

“Mas,” said Ane, Bhanu heard it looking up at Ane, one eyebrow up and a gaze as if saying what is wrong. Ane did not immediately make a sound, waiting for Bhanu to finish chewing it then he would return to ask questions.

“I want to ask something and I have to answer honestly!” demand Ane, who is possessed by Bhanu, again chewed the rest of the chicken katsu owned by the man. “Mas, really like Ane? How can?”

Bhanu was still chewing, he did not rush to swallow fear of choking, it was finished that he drank iced passion fruit tea up to half.

“Mas also does not know, only the first time Mas see you yaudah mas like and Mas try to convince themselves the same feelings mas by praying it turns out after the mas pray the heart mas more sure not just the feeling of like, but the feeling of love, but sure God willing if you are the best for the companion Mas,” replied Bhanu full of confidence as when visiting the house of Ane and met Ratna and Rangga.

“Padahal Ane spoiled child, Mas. Many want, chatty, sometimes also nyebelin, Mas-mas Ane aja sometimes like to be upset with Ane,”

Bhanu chin-backed looking at Ane's face, “no problem, mas like you spoiled,”

Ane turned her lips, then changed the statement about her, “gak deh, Ane is independent does not like to bother people, even Ane likes to do it all herself,”

Bhanu shook her head again, “oh yes? Nice dong, but still mas like even though you are spoiled, just to mas not the same other,”

Ane lowered her head and grabbed the fried salmon roll and then chewed in silence. Bhanu chuckled amusedly, she straightened her body still looking at Ane's face seriously.

“Just whatever you want, insyaallah Mas will be ready to face your spoiled attitude, chatty, or even while you are, insyaallah, because Mas accepts you as you if indeed you are like yes already mas will not make you become as you want,”

Ane became confused now, he seemed to have to pray for guidance on the feelings and attitudes that would be given to Bhanu.
