A Wound
Chapter 14's
Hartono's car stopped right in front of the Ara campus. And after saying goodbye and kissing her father's hand, Ara got out of the car.
“Assalamualaikum, Dara.” greet someone when Ara just got off her father's car.
“Waalaikumsalam, sir," replied Ara awkwardly glancing at her father who was in the car.
Understanding the existence of Hartono, Bima lowered her head intending to greet the middle-aged man.
“Assalamualaikum, Om!” her sap is smiling.
“Waalaikumsalam.. remember do not like the two-age, not yet muhrim,” said Hartono accompanied by a small laugh.
“Iya, Om. Sure,” replied Bima who came to laugh a little.
“Ya already, then I say yes.”
“Iya, Om. Careful!”
After the departure of Hartono, Bima and Ara walked together into the campus.
“Which father is from?” ask Ara.
“Yes from home, you are how the hell.”
“I mean car Father where? how to get down here?” Ara widened her gaze, looking for the whereabouts of her lecturer's car.
“Ah yes, I took a taxi, my car entered the workshop,” he explained smiling.
Ara just nodded, then lowered her gaze to notice her footsteps that turned out to be in rhythm with the footsteps of the lecturer, and it made her laugh. Even the smallest thing can make him feel very happy. How much he likes that guy.
“Oh yes, Miya where? some days I did not see it,” asked Bima.
“He went home to his parents.”
“Why? pain?”
“No. His parents intend to match him with the son of his papa friends, therefore Miya asked to go home first to be introduced to the man of his choice of papa,” explained Ara.
“Wahh Miya great yes, secretly want to marry only.”
“Not immediately married, sir. said his mother if they fit they will be engaged first, married later after graduation he said.”
“Good idea,” said Bima nodded her head at the explanation of the girl beside her. And both corners of her lips lifted as an idea flashed through her head, “you want to be unlike Miya?” tanyanya stopped her steps.
Ara was made to gasp when able to interpret the intent of the lecturer's speech. “Means, Father?” his question was looking for justification for what he was thinking right now.
“If I invite you to get engaged too, how?” Bima looked at Ara seriously.
Ara only silently stared fixedly at the man before her, before finally waking up and circulating her gaze looking at the passing students around her. Not a few make them a matter of attention. Not a good time to talk about this, he thought.
After a while waiting for the answer of the girl before him, Bima again opened her voice when she did not get an answer from the girl, “at least so that there is a bond between us,”.
“But, Pak__”
“If you agree I will talk to your father, and after that I will tell my parents.” Bima just kept staring at the girl in front of him who seemed to be thinking, “hm?” he muttered asking for answers.
“Alright, it's up to you,” replied Ara nodding in the end.
“Yes see you in class. After my class is finished I will meet your father.”
“Yes, the goodwill people say don't be delayed." Bima smiled as she rubbed Ara's head and left the girl.
Ara again circulated her gaze, feeling embarrassed if until Bima's treatment of her was seen by others. And sure enough, the few students who saw her, threw seductive smiles at Ara.
Ara resumed her steps while bowing her head. But a question from someone made him re-raise his gaze.
“Do you guys have a special relationship?” ask a student named Gita.
“Ya?” sahut Ara was confused.
“Looks like you and Pak Bima are so close, are you guys dating?”
“Not really, we are just close,” replied Ara.
“But it seems Mr. Bima likes you. What...” Gita raises next to her eyebrows, “Pak Bima knows all about you?” tanyanya grinned.
“You mean?” Ara knitted her eyebrows together, not understanding the meaning of the woman's words.
“It's okay, I was just joking,” she replied laughing then passed leaving Ara.
After Gita's departure, Ara kept thinking about the woman's words. Until he could understand the meaning of the words that the woman had put out.
If it is true that Bima will invite him to get engaged, should not he tell everything about himself to the man. And will the man accept all his shortcomings.
"Hey, how are you daydreaming?" arumi asked, looking at Ara who entered the classroom with a blank look. "You got a problem?"
"Ah, not really!" answer Ara quickly. Knowing Arumi's irritable nature, he decides not to tell her about what Gita told him.
"When are we going to college for a restaurant?" bring Arumi.
"Yes, I can." Ara nodded her head while sitting herself on one of the benches.
"Ahhh..so I can't wait to meet my love," said Arumi while imagining Dion's handsome face.
Just by looking at the face of his heart's idol chef, Arumi's heart had flowered. Somehow it would be if until the man returned his feelings, what might his heart have become a flower garden.
A few minutes later Bima was seen entering the classroom Ara with a smile that expands, making anyone who saw it as if bewitched and smile at it.
No exception with Arumi. "What's wrong with her?" asked Arumi without letting go of her smile.
Arumi turned her eyes to Ara, as her eyes caught her lecturer throwing a glance at her best friend.
"Or don't-don't.. You guys are already?" ask Arumi enthusiastically.
"What the hell, don't nag," he refused to refrain from smiling. What happens if he tells his best friend that Bima intends to invite him to get engaged.
Ara turned her gaze forward. Staring at the handsome face of the lecturer, made Ara smile small. How beautiful is the work of God that is before him. But Ara was pensive again after recalling Gita's words to her.
