Dating (Part 1)

When Ahmad came home from work, he was arguing with his brother.

"How can you do this? What do you think I want to date with Syakirah!" ahmad said emotion.

"Ahmad, brother did this also for your sake! If you hurt Syakirah again, you'll lose. Let's just say it's your last date with Syakirah!" said Rani is not less emotional.

"But brother is outrageous!"

"It's solely for your good as well."

Ahmad left his brother blabbering everywhere. To hell with her brother would be of no benefit to her. Ahmad laid his body on the bed with his right hand on his head.

How can Syakirah agree to it? He certainly didn't want to meet me. Let alone meet speaking directly to me, he would not. I know I was wrong. So I want to fix it. You can be mad at me tomorrow, you can hurt me too. As long as you don't leave me, that's enough for me Ahmad murmured.

Ahmad pulled out his phone and intended to call Syakirah, but he undone. Ahmad sent a message to Syakirah.

"Syakirah, why did you agree to Rani's invitation to XX tour?" sent message.

"I don't know. I just follow Rani's request. This could be my last day in contact with your family. I don't want to feel guilty for staying away from your family for no reason." replied Syakirah.

"You can resist it, no one will oppose your refusal."

"It's okay."

"Well, if you want it that way. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Don't pick me up. I do not want to be a neighbor, especially if you know. I could have been made fun of him and I really hate that!"

"Then, what do you want?"

"We drive each other's vehicles."

Ahmad immediately sat down after reading a message from Syakirah. Ahmad was really surprised.

"Well, you think XX's tour isn't far. I don't want to if we're different vehicles. We'll make arrangements at XX's place."

"As long as you want your vehicle to hit my body it doesn't matter. I'll wait for you there."

What the hell are these words? She's just like Kiya. But Syakirah is more ruthless than Kiya. Kiya can control her emotions, while Syakirah does not. I was so dizzy to see these two brothers. I knew they were brothers, one gender and one blood. But, is there nothing ordinary? Rahman's brother was also cruel when it came to his younger siblings, as he was the eldest of his brothers. His priority was to protect his younger siblings. If, I was not in martial Rani maybe I was already in the hospital at that time, Ahmad grumbled inwardly.

"Well, we'll see you around seven in the morning. The trip takes two hours." Ahmad replied to a message from Syakirah.

"Yes." Yeah."

After that he did not reply to Syakirah's message. He gaped in disbelief at Syakirah's message. Syakirah answers "Yes." only. Ahmad hates most if anyone replies to his message like that.

"Well, how will I see you tomorrow? Now I am very nervous" said Ahmad.

After that he slept and headed to his dream realm.

The next day, Ahmad was getting ready for a date with Syakirah. Consider it a date because Rani's sister told her to. Ahmad wears a black shirt and pants that match his shirt. He also wears shoes.

Is my appearance perfect? I was nervous, he said in a nervous heart.

"Ahmad, are you done getting ready?" ask Rani who has opened the door to Ahmad's room.

"Well, you're so flawless. Ahmad, don't disappoint brother! Brother has tried to persuade Syakirah, so you must repay him." said brother Rani.

"Huh! it's up to the big brother." Ahmad replied in frustration.

"You're done, right? If it's better you pick up Syakirah now. Syakirah is waiting for you."

"Yes, I sent her a message earlier and she's already at XX's place waiting for you to pick her up."

"Alright, then I'm leaving now huh, sis."

Ahmad went out of his room, but when he was in the doorway he turned around and headed to his wardrobe. Ahmad took something in a small box in his closet.

"You still keep it?" ask Rani when she sees the necklace. Ahmad nodded.

"For me this is the greatest treasure I have. No matter what the item is. Syakirah gave me this. Anyway, I also want Syakirah to see me using this necklace."

Ahmad wore a necklace that Syakirah gave him before their relationship ended. Not a necklace, rather a pendant. After that, she went to pick up and date Syakirah.

"Ahmad, brother will help you. No matter if there are many people who berate you later, all you want is your happiness, that's all." said Rani who saw Ahmad's departure with her car.

***

When Ahmad arrived at XX place, he saw Syakirah. His heart was beating very fast, maybe if this place was quiet like a forest his heartbeat could be heard.

Syakirah wears very elegant clothes. The clothes are simple but look luxurious. There were a lot of people looking towards Syakirah. Syakirah also has very red lips, such as cherry. She never wears lipstick at all, just lip balms to keep her lips from drying out.

But, maybe the appearance of Syakirah is a bit different this time. Syakirah slightly put on her face but not too flashy. He also wears green eye lenses. Natural makeup, coupled with the white skin of Syakirah is so clean, making Syakirah like an angel.

Ahmad got out of his car, it was not good to look at Syakirah for so long because it could have knocked Ahmad unconscious. Ahmad approached Syakirah.

"Syakirah." said Ahmad calling Syakirah. Syakirah turned his head and smiled at Ahmad. Ahmad could see the dimples on both cheeks of Syakirah as Syakirah smiled.

Syakirah you'll make me Diabetes later. Going home on a date I will check my blood sugar, I could have diabetes because I saw Syakirah, Ahmad said in his heart.

"I'm sorry if you waited so long."

"It's okay."

"Then let's go."

Ahmad led Syakirah into his car. They each enter. And they began their journey.

When he arrived in the city of XX tourist attractions, Ahmad invited Syakirah to talk because from now on they were both just silent without anyone opening the conversation first.

"Syakirah, have you had breakfast?" ask Ahmad.

"No." he replied.

"You want breakfast?"

"It doesn't seem like it, but if you're going to have breakfast first it doesn't matter."

"I haven't had breakfast yet. I stopped for breakfast."

"Yes. What do you want for breakfast? It's still half nine in the morning, there's already a lot of restaurants open at this hour."

"Hmm. I want to eat at XX restaurant only. You don't mind, do you?"

"No."

"Then we go there."
