“Don't ask me, what is it in love?” / Melanes

There was a noise from inside his room, Kiran had guessed that inside his room was the most noisy person if he came to his house. She's Nadia Maftuhatunnisa, Kiran's cousin, there's just some silly behavior she'd do if she was in Kiran's room.
“I beg God, give me peace for today only!” kiran said as she slowly opened the door of her room.
Her favorite makeup tools are messy on the table due to Nadia's actions. Everything was so messy that it made Kiran's anger burn.
“Nadiaaaaaa ..” shouted Kiran.
Bruk ...
“Oh no,” Nadia was shocked so dropped one of Kiran's lisptics.
“Jeez, Nadia what other mistake did you make?" Kiran this time only resigned to the behavior of Nadia.
“Ah, I just tried make up kak, this is the first time I learned make up,” said Nadia a little scared.
“If that's your way, you'll spend all my makeup tools, quickly clean up!” kiran's anger this time was unusual.
It obviously made Nadia put on a scared face, so rushed to tidy up all the makeup tools that Kiran had.
Kiran looked at her phone, already showing at 15:00 p.m. There is no specific schedule today for Kiran, so she can relax until tomorrow.
Trings ...
Voice incoming messages from Kiran's mobile phone.
Nadia who was then finished cleaning all Kiran makeup tools, accidentally saw the incoming message. The name of Herman Sebastian was Kiran's classmate.
[Is there a special schedule today?] _Chat from WhatsApp._
“Hmm ..” Kiran thought for a moment.
“For what did he ask that?” inner Kiran.
I don't know how many times Kiran ignored Herman's messages. Because before that it was like that too.
Nadia with her lips flattened Kiran.
“Cie .. in search!” Nadia Ledek.
Of course Kiran immediately looked at Nadia by narrowing her eyes. “Don't bother me little boy.” Kiran put on an annoyed face.
“Kak Kiran is not exciting, I am not a child brother. I'm in Class 2 High School, I think Class 2 High School is still playing doll-doll!” this time it was Nadia who turned around annoyed with Kiran.
“Haha .. crashing, Nadia crank,” Kiran even laughed at Nadia's annoyed behavior.
“He's sister!” Nadia was lying on the bed.
Nadia recalled the male figure who was with Kiran a few minutes ago, eager for Nadia to ask Kiran that.
“Kak Kiran, today I want to vent. Can?”
“Tumben, about what?” Kiran was curious about Nadia's story, so she approached Nadia and lay down beside her.
“Kak, I saw Anggara's brother in front of the fence right?” Nadia was still staring at the ceiling of Kiran's room with star decorations.
“Kok you know? You know Anggara?” Kiran turned her head to the side looking at Nadia's face which was still staring straight up.
“Hummm .. that's it brother. Maybe only I know him.” Nadia stopped her words.
“She's the sister of my friend, sis,” Nadia even keep the truth a secret.
“You want to vent it?” Kiran was confused with Nadia.
“Actually not that,” elak Nadia then switch the conversation.
“If I like someone at my age, what can I do? I fell in love at first sight, whether it was first sight or not. But I always see it, make me feel happy sis,” said Nadia.
Kiran is silent, in the dictionary Kiran falling in love is the most difficult thing for her. Because often expect to make him hurt, so he forgets what it is to fall in love.
This time Nadia turned her head sideways to see the look on Kiran's face. There is obvious concern there. Nadia wanted to ask again, but she paused.
“Silver is fine? Why glum?” nadia's question made Kiran realize.
“Ah, that's okay,” a sentence that the female mainstay 'doesn' but is actually not okay. That's how women easily hide their feelings.
“What brother has ever been in love?” suddenly the question came out of Nadia's mouth.
“...”
Silent, no sound came out of Kiran's mouth, no 'yes' or 'no' answer'. A simple question that is hard to explain. For Kiran, there were too many wounds that she felt, so there was no more happiness in her heart let alone having to fall in love.
Nadia felt guilty she forgot if her cousin's sister, too often hurt so that happiness was probably difficult Kiran felt. Nadia did not want to burden Kiran's mind, the questions she had given no answer from Kiran she ignored. Nadia stopped not going to ask again even though the curiosity was so great.
“Don't ask about it again Nadia, I can't answer it.” replied Kiran.
Nadia knew what the answer meant from Kiran. Only silence struck at that moment.

With a smooth hand it moves the brush up, down, to the left and right side repeatedly to create a beautiful masterpiece. For the work made this time is so special, because a painting of a small white object that sparkles liked by many people is 'Pearl'.
