Vibration of the Heart of Nirmala
Expressions of Love

This afternoon Kevin seemed to be getting ready to leave. Before leaving, he intended to stop by Nirmala's house first. Incidentally, all day he was busy in the kitchen making cakes. Nirmala's favorite cat tongue cake, she's been studying it for quite a while. Even secretly he learned specifically to make the cake. He hoped that Nirmala would like him, however he had studied it for 3 months.

"Hopefully Nirmala likes this cake." Kevin's mind while arranging one by one the cake in tupper ware.

It's still hot so there's no need to close it, and I'd better get it right away.

Kevin then walked to Nirmala's house carrying the cake with the lid slightly open. Upon his arrival at Nirmala's house, he met with Pakde Slamet.

"Good afternoon sir." Kevin said when he saw the man was washing the car.

Pakde already knew that Kevin had come for Nirmala. Pakde knows exactly how Kevin feels and Pakde also sometimes teases Kevin. In any case, pakde Slamet was also young of course and had felt what is currently felt by Kevin.

"Den's good, let's go in Den, Non Nirmala's inside." Said pakde Slamet while letting Kevin in.

"Don't go in here, sir." Said Kevin.

Kevin has no intention of lingering because he wants to accompany his best friend to the airport. He only wanted Nirmala to taste his cake while it was warm.

"Yes, then let me call Non Nirmala."

"No need, no need sir, please just tell this to Nirmala." Said Kevin.

Suddenly Nirmala came out and saw Kevin coming.

"Hm .. just came here to go." Nirmala said as she looked at the cake that was still in Kevin's hands.

"Sorry Mala, just want to give this, I hope you like." Kevin said while thrusting tupper ware into Nirmala's hand.

"Gee ... I'd love it, thank you." Nirmala said with a smile.

"Then, excuse me. Assalamua'laikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam." Answer Nirmala and pakde Slamet simultaneously.

Nirmala walked into her house and smelled the delicious aroma of cake. Suddenly Mr. Slamet stopped his steps.

"Nl ... Non Nirmala's. Pakde ... Pakde also dong Non cake, it looks good Non." Say pakde Slamet while pointing towards the cat tongue cake.

"I'm sorry Pakde, this one is specifically for Nirmala. Pakde asked for the same bi Sona." Nirmala said as she continued her steps again leaving the Slamet pact.

Nirmala went into the house and put the cake on the table and went to the kitchen to see Sona's bi who was making fried bananas. Nirmala asked for some bananas fried Sona bi and put it on a plate in the form of green leaves, just like real leaves.

Bi Sona thought Nirmala's appetite was being good to the point that she took so many fried bananas. Though Nirmala took the fried banana for pakde Slamet in exchange for cat tongue cake.

Nirmala then went ahead to meet pakde Slamet again and gave a fried banana made by Sona bi.

"Pakde, this is for pakde." Nirmala.

"Gee ... Mantul Non, steady right." Said pakde Slamet laughing.

"Thank you, Non." Saying pakde.

"Yes sir, the same." Nirmala.

Suddenly bi Sona came to the front.

"Goddess ... Weelb ... Turns out make pakde to?"

"Definitely sir who told Nirmala to give this to Pakde?"

"No, who told you. Non-Nirmala himself who gives thanks, yes non yes?" Said pakde Slamet while nodding his head and looking towards Nirmala.

"Yes bi, Nirmala herself is loving." Nirmala.

"Yes, Nirmala went in first Bi, Pakde." Nirmala said as she walked into the house.

Elsewhere, Kevin was driving his car to Chika's house. From the beginning, Kevin was always ready if Chika asked for help. This afternoon Chika asks Kevin to accompany her to pick up her parents at the airport. Jeff did not want to do it. Every school holiday, Jeff prefers to spend his time in the bedroom or go hanging out with his friends.

Not long after, Kevin had already arrived in front of Chika's house. He got out of the car and rang the bell at Chika's house. There was a sound of Assalamua'laikum when the bell was struck.

Jeff came out to open the door. When the door was opened, Jeff saw his competitors were in plain sight.

This crocodile, how dare he come here.

"What's it gonna take to get here?" Ask Jeff ketus.

"Don't let his guests in first, is that a polite deed?" Kevin said back to asking.

"Why did I tell you to come in, just sit on the porch." Jeff said as he pointed at the porch of his house.

As Chika's footsteps came from inside, she heard that there was a bit of commotion at the door.

"Kevin, is that you?" Tanya Chika from inside the house walked outside.

Jeff was very upset whenever he saw Kevin's face.

"Soky looking." Said Jeff.

Kevin just smiled.

"Are you ready for Chika?" Kevin asked Chika who was now in front of him.

"Already dong, let's go." Said Chika.

"Jeff, are you sure you don't want to come?" Ask Chika.

"There you go." Jeff said annoyed.

Chika and Kevin rush to the airport. In the car, Chika, who feels bad for her brother's treatment, tries to apologize to Kevin.

"I'm sorry my sister?"

Kevin smiles.

"Not to think about it." Kevin replied while driving.

Not long after that, they arrived at the airport. It turned out that both of Chika's parents had been waiting since.

"Mommy, Daddy ...." Sapa Chika hugging.

"Chika Darling ...." His mother said, hugging.

Chika looks so happy, Kevin is also happy to meet his parents. Kevin then helped carry their suitcases to the car. They walk in tandem. Kevin is indeed very good, he also has great respect for both Chika's parents.

Arriving in the car, they enter and Chika still continues to hug her mother. His father sat in front beside Kevin, while he sat behind him with his dear Mother.

"You must be Kevin." Said Chika's mother pointing towards Kevin.

"Yes aunty." Kevin said nodding while throwing his trademark smile.

"Chika often tells me about you." Mother Said.

"Mommy ...." Chika said shyly.

"Jeff why don't you take it?" Ask father.

"Don't want to take Dad, Jeff didn't want to come." Answer Chika.

They kept talking in the car. Both of Chika's parents said that they liked Kevin very much. Chika's mother also praised Kevin's good looks.

"Mommy thinks Jeff Mami's son is the most handsome, turns out his sister-in-law is much more handsome." Praise her mother Chika.

Kevin, who was focused on driving, suddenly stopped his car. He braked very suddenly making the passengers shocked.

"Sorry, sorry." Said Kevin.

"So when are you planning to get married. We agreed, didn't we, Dad?" Said her mother Chika while looking towards her husband.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Chika's father.

Chika looked at Kevin's face, Chika knew from the look on Kevin's face, Kevin did not like this conversation. Fearing that Kevin would be angry, Chika then answered her mother's question.

"Mommy, what is this mom talking about? we're just friends." Chika said as she continued to look towards Kevin.

Kevin returned to his car. Unwilling to make both of Chika's parents wish for more, Kevin says that he already has a choice and it's not Chika. Chika is his best friend. Hearing Kevin's words like that, makes Chika disappointed, but actually Chika already knows that Kevin does not like it and prefers Nirmala. Chika already knew that.

"In that case, we're sorry we misunderstood." Said Chika's mother.

Kevin nodded and smiled.

"It's okay aunt." Her word.

They finally arrived home. They get out of the car, Kevin also comes down and helps to bring down their belongings. After that Kevin said goodbye to go home. He was already impatient to meet Nirmala and enjoy his homemade cake.

"Not come by first?" Said Chika's mother.

"No aunt, next time. Thanks." Kevin said, bowing his body slightly.

"We should be the ones to thank." Said Chika's father while patting Kevin's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, aunt. Chik, go home." Said Kevin.

"Yes, be careful on the road." Answer them simultaneously.

Kevin then gets into his car and soon passes from Chika's sight.

Chika who was initially very happy and hoped that Kevin would open the door of her heart suddenly looked very sad. Both of his parents have entered the house looking for Jeff, while Chika is still outside. Her heart crumbled softly remembering Kevin's words while in the car earlier.

His heart that was broken like a bolt of lightning during the day made a hole of hatred, very deep, not sad anymore that he felt at this moment, but more than that a hatred. Deep hatred for Nirmala.

"Nirmala, the girl ...." He muttered while imagining the face of Nirmala who wanted him to claw.

Chika tries to adjust her breathing to look calm before she enters the house. His two hands that were originally clenched started to open. His face that looked flushed was furious, gradually returning to normal following the feelings of his heart. He is very good at hiding everything. When he enters the house, his parents are not suspicious at all, but Jeff sees something hidden by his brother.

"What's wrong with Chika's sister." Inner Jeff.

Jeff followed his brother to the room.

"Sister," said Jeff.

"Big brother why?" Ask Jeff again.

Chika doesn't want to talk to Jeff, she tells Jeff to get out of his room and shut the door. Jeff then went out to walk to the front of his house. Meanwhile, both of his parents were resting in the room.

Suddenly Jeff's phone rang. Again Anah who called, usually Jeff will reject the call from Anah but this time he picked it up.

"Hallo Anah, what's wrong?"

"Jeff, your voice is so sweet." Said Anah.

Gosh darn. Inner Jeff.

"What's the matter exactly? If there's nothing important, I'll call her."

"Don't, don't, don't. Time in matiin anyway? Don't you miss me?" said Anah.

Gosh darn. Inner Jeff again.

"Then what happened? Tell me quickly."

"Jeff, go home to school tomorrow? I still can't get into school. I miss ... so much you."

"Can't." Answer Jeff.

"Yes, I still have a lot of business." Jeff said, then turned off his phone.

It's in matiin. Said Anah from a very distant direction there. Anah was so happy to hear Jeff's voice, it could slightly treat the longing that had been tormenting him.

Now I want to call Nirmala, if Jeff can't come. Nirmala can definitely come and help me. After all, Nirmala is a matchmaker. He once managed to make Jeff apologize, he also this time must be able to persuade Jeff to come here.

Nirmala, here we go. Said Anah.

Anah finds the contact name on her phone and immediately presses OK.

Not long after, Nirmala who was helping Sona cook in the kitchen picked up her ringing phone and walked out of the house.

"Hallo, assalamua'laikum Anah, how are you?" Ask Nirmala.

"Hallo, wa'alaikumussalam Nirmala. I'm fine." Answer Anah.

"So you can go to school tomorrow?" Ask Nirmala again.

Now that Nirmala was sitting on the terrace on the phone, she saw clearly Kevin was heading towards her.

"Nirmala can't be, so I'll call you."

"Tomorrow after school, you go home?" anah Pinta.

"God willing." Answer Nirmala.

Now Kevin was close to him, without further ado Kevin sat beside Nirmala. Look at Nirmala's face, especially her lips.

"Usahakan come yes Mala, you invite Jeff also yes, please ...." Said Anah pleading.

Jeffs. Inner Nirmala while looking at Kevin, Kevin looked back at her and smiled.

"Yes Anah." Said Nirmala who was starting to not focus on her conversation on the phone.

"Thank you, Nirmala, you are my best friend." Said Anah.

"Yes are the same."

"Okay, bye." Said Anah ending his call.

"Bye." Nirmala said as she turned off her phone and placed it on the floor, right next to her sitting down.

"Call from Anah, huh?" Ask Kevin.

"Yes." Yeah." Nirmala.

Kevin sat very close to Nirmala, making Nirmala awkward and shifting in the other direction in order to get a little further.

When Kevin and Nirmala were sitting together, suddenly pakde Slamet and bi Sona out. They wanted to ask Nirmala's permission to go to the supermarket to buy kitchen necessities.

"Be careful Bi, sirde." Nirmala.

"Ready Non." They say.

Now only Kevin and Nirmala live in that house. Kevin continued to look at Nirmala with a smile. Nirmala looked down embarrassed even though she occasionally looked at Kevin. Kevin's expression was wild.

They were still silent and created silence in the corner of the terrace. The silence they created was neither a silent silence nor an uncomfortable horror. Their silence was a stillness that seemed comfortable and relaxed.

In that silence Kevin was like expressing a tender love and did not need words to express it.

Nirmala was washed away in Kevin's eyes, he looked like he was bewitched by Kevin's good looks. Now they look at each other. Kevin didn't waste this opportunity. He tried to bring his face closer to Nirmala's face, getting closer. And Nirmala looks resigned.

Kevin noticed Nirmala's lips from now on, there was a possibility that he wanted to kiss her immediately. They stared at each other, eye contact was so intense and melted. It was already a strong signal that Nirmala did not reject the desire of Kevin who wanted to kiss her immediately.

The eyes and facial expressions of the two had already revealed the deepest desires of each.
