AISYAH LOVE VERSE

Eye Stares

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I applied a little lipbalm to my lips so as not to look pale. Tonight I'll attend Julia's invitation, celebrate her birthday. Just a moment ago, he called me, made sure I was coming, and told me that soon, his brother, William, would come to pick me up.

Julia, the German Indo – crossbreed girl I accidentally knew, I don't know why I feel so

quickly feel familiar with it. Maybe because of Julia's very friendly personality.

“Grrrrtttt..” My phone is vibrating.

I didn't put a ringtone on my phone, just a vibrating tone. I grabbed my phone lying on the table. A new number is on my phone screen.

With a little hesitation, I raised the call.

“Hai,.. Umm... Assalamualaikum.” There was a voice of a man I did not recognize.

Who yeah??

“Walaikumsalam..” I reply greetings. Because answering the greeting is mandatory law.

“I'm William, Julia's sister. Julia gave me your phone number.”

It was William, Julia's sister who called me.

“Oh, yes. Julia told me that you were going to pick me up.”

“Alright, I've been waiting for you below.”

“Oh yes, alright. I'll be right down, now.”

I put a small yellow gift box in my bag. That's my card for Julia. I bought her a light green scarf. I hope Julia likes it.

I went out of the room and didn't forget to lock the door, because Nuri wasn't there either. Nuri goes with Mia and Ica, they go to the movies. I walked down the corridor, and as I descended the stairs to the first floor, I met Mr. Sumijan.

“You out night minngguan ya Neng?” Saya Mr. Sumijan. He seemed to be out buying martabak, because the delicious aroma of martabak wafted from the bag he was carrying.

“Hmm... Yes Sir, want to go out first, there is an event at a friend's house. Let's Pak.” My solute.

“Iya Neng, please. Mah wants to watch a dangdutan show on TV, Neng. It's already bought martabak for a coffee buddy. He he he...” Mr. Sumijan raised the canticle in his hand while laughing. Right, it turns out he was out buying martabak.

I walked towards Nadira's mother's house. William, Julia's sister, was standing near his car, half-leaning. Not seen Nadira's mother, it seems he has not come out of the house.

As soon as I saw him coming, William turned his head and smiled, then greeted me.

“Hai...” William changed his standing position to upright, he then put his phone in his pants pocket.

“Hai...” I'm standing by the car.

Then we both kept quiet, for a while.

I bowed my head to the door of Madam Nadira's house. “Mother Nadira is not out yet?” I was trying to break the mood.

“Ya, no. Maybe in a minute.” William Sahut.

“Kreeek.” Nadira's door opens.

“Ceklek,” Bu Nadira came out of the house, then closed the door of his house back, and walked over to us.

“Ow... You've been down apparently?” Madam Nadira greeted me. I nodded my head and smiled.

“Sorry if waiting too long William.” Madam Nadira patted William on the shoulder.

“No Aunty, I'm ready to wait for Auntie for another thousand years.” William responded to his aunt's apology in jest.

“You're.” Miss Nadira rent William's right ear, “Come, we should leave now.” Said later.

William opened the car door for his aunt. Nadira got into the car, and William closed the door again.

William walked quickly to the side of the other car, then opened the car door and held it in his hands.

“Are you not coming?” William stared.

“Oh..!” As if I had just realized, William opened the car door for me. I hurried to walk up to him.

“Come in,” William widened his car door, and told me to come in.

“Thanks.” I got in the car. William closed the car door again. He then walked forward, and got into the car.

“Aisyah, my nephew is very good, right? He's very romantic. And that's all he got from his father.” Madam Nadira spoke softly near me. I smiled at Miss Nadira. Confused about what to do.

William started the car, and we left.

***

William's car slowed down, turned into an elite residential area, then finally stopped.

“Aisyah, we've arrived.” Madam Nadira told me that we have arrived.

The car door on Madam Nadira's side was opened from the outside. A middle-aged man who opened up - him.

“Please Mistress.” He said, bowing his body a little.

The car door on my side was also suddenly opened by someone from the outside. I'm turning. William opened the door. “Come, Julia is already waiting for us inside.”

I nodded my head and quickly got out of the car.

“Ayo Aisyah..” Bu Nadira took my hand. “This is my sister's house, Mariam. His mother William.”

“Iya Ma'am, Julia has also told me, that Mother turned out to be her aunt Julia.” I stepped on Madam Nadira's side, while William walked behind us.

I looked at the house in front of me. A magnificent house in the classic European style. White with large poles in front of it.

Hmm.. Right as Nuri said at that time, it looks like Julia already has everything. And now I can see it with just a quick look at Julia's parents' house.

A maid opened the door for us. “Welcome Madam, all are waiting in the park.” He said, bowing his body forward.

“Julia wants a private party in the park, by the pool.” William. Then walk up to me and Nadira's mother.

We walk through the living room, then the outdoor lounge, then turn in the hallways or corridors filled with ornamental plants and gurgling shower here and there. And then we arrived at Julia's birthday party.

Some heart-shaped balloons are seen in pairs in some corners of the park. A long table with a chair lined up on his right left, visible stretching not far from the edge of the pool.

I was thinking, that Julia's birthday party will be very crowded and many invited guests attended. It turns out my guess was wrong. There were very few people seen at this party, probably only around a dozen people.

Julia seemed to be talking to some of her friends, as soon as she saw us coming, she walked over to us.

“Hello My dear aunt.. Let's sit down, we've been waiting for you.” Julia hugged her aunt.

“Halo is also Juli I love, you are so beautiful. Happy birthday to you. It's a gift from Aunty.” Madam Nadira gave a paper bag to Julia. The paper bag had a Gucci logo on the outside. I can make sure it is expensive.

“Ow... Thanks aunty.” Julia received a gift from her aunt, then gave the gift to one of the servants nearby. The waiter picked it up, took it and placed it on a table on top of which contained a pile of Julia's gifts.

Madam Nadira walked up to the table first, and greeted the others.

I'm approaching Julia. “Hai Julia, happy birthday. I handed my card to Julia.”

“Aisyah, thank you for coming. I thought you wouldn't come.” Julia hugged me. “ayo, I introduced you to my mommy. They are also waiting for you.” Julia took my hand. We walked towards the table.

“Hai Mom,” Julia called her mother who was talking to Madam Nadira. “This Aisyah...” Julia winks one eye at her mother, Ny. Marian.

Mrs. Mariam looked at me carefully. Staring at me from head to toe. Then he smiled and shook his head. Then he walked up to me.

“You do look like an angel from Aisyah..” Ny. Mariam hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks. “Thanks for coming. Come, sit down.” Mrs. Mariam led me, I followed her beside her.

Mrs. Mariam pulled out a chair, and let me sit down. “Sit.” Her speech.

“Thank you Madam..” I bowed to Ny. Mariam, then I sit down.

I straightened my seat facing the front of the table. On this long table, various kinds of dishes were served. I looked across the table…

William, Julia's sister was the one occupying the seat across from my desk. And.... It turns out he was staring at me. Staring at myself.

Our eyes meet. I nodded my head at him, to appreciate it. I wished she would do the same, and immediately turned her gaze away from me. But I think I was wrong. William, Julia's brother, did not turn his eyes away. He kept staring at me. Without blinking.

I was puffed out, and tried to turn my attention in the other direction.
