Between Me, You And Them

DAY 4

ELISE

I rubbed my eyes while getting out of bed.

What time is it now?

I'm so sleepy.

Because last night I only slept for a few hours.

Because what?

I immediately covered my face with my hands. I'm back nervous if I have to remember after school I have a road appointment with bang Nanda.

My heart that yesterday was as hard as a rock finally melted also because of her sweet attitude. Not a sweet thing to do, he did good to me.

I think what's wrong with me just once walking with her? count the count to avenge all the bad things he had yesterday.

Yesterday on the road he drove me home, yes, for the first time I want to take him home again after the incident that night. He said that after school we went home and he would pick me up at home.

I refused it, I didn't feel too dependent on it. So I offered to meet at the place.

He asked me to come to a fairly large mall and at the same time there is a place to play in it. I don't know what he's looking for, he didn't tell me yesterday.

That's why last night I was busy in the room with a pile of my clothes that I had. I'm confused about which clothes to wear tomorrow.

I want to look sweet, but I don't want to look too "dressed up" for her.

Ribet? yes it is complicated.

And all day at school I didn't meet Bang Nanda. It seemed like he was again busy with his myriad of activities. Which I don't know what it is myself.

We met after school.

His WA message came in when we were opposite in the middle of the field. All I could do was smile after reading it. He smiled at me too.

I didn't meet him at school either. I see he's still in class. Like her there was additional guidance in her class at the time.

In my heart there was a little concern about canceling the event today, fearing that he would return home in the afternoon.

But I just ignored it and got ready to go home.

Right at 15:00 I ordered my online ojek. Last time he said he was 10 minutes ago.

I asked him why it was too soon, he said let him wait for me there first.

I decided to wear a light blue casual dress with a Chamomile flower motif. I also wear white shoes and a matching bag.

I pinched my hair and put a ribbon on the end.

I didn't have to ask if I was pretty today, because Elmi had somehow come home early today from school, saying,

"Tumben." with a flat face as we passed in the living room.

Which can be interpreted today I am beautiful, because usually he will not respond to anything and as if he never saw me singk his.

Not to forget also I "shed" Parfume into my clothes, so that I do not rival her fragrance by Bang Nanda. I want to smell like him too.

"Yes, my heart, yes..." Mama said across the street when I got permission to walk this afternoon. But the truth is, I authorized it when I got to the place.

I called bang Nanda who said it was otw. Only 2 times the connect tone he has raised his. Like he was waiting for me.

"Have you reached El?"

"Already bang. Where's brother?" Ask me. But I don't think I need to look for him far away. Because my nose is already smelling a very familiar fragrance.

I flipped my body, sure enough he was behind me. I hung up the phone and came to her.

"Dude..." Say hello to me when he is still turning his back on me. He was surprised I could find him. For a moment he was silent to see me. My looks.

"Ke, why bang? Weird huh?" Ask me wrong. I pulled out my hair that I thought was a mess.

"No! Not really!" He answered with a brick.

"Why do you want to squirm that?"

"Elsi is beautiful."

Hearing her my face immediately heated up. I patted my cheek softly.

"Hm... Brother is also handsome today." Reply me. I don't know what else to say to break this awkwardness.

"Well not from yesterday?" She said while tidying up her hair. Obviously, he was just teasing me.

"Iss what the hell is bang." I pinched his little hand. He laughed seeing me who had succeeded in his jahili.

"Where is El going?"

"How did you ask El? Did he say you wanted to find something?"

Hearing my question he patted his eel like a man who forgot something.

"Oh yeah, isn't that brother who asked for it?"

I squinted my eyes at him.

"Hmmm... Brother bote again huh???"

"Not really a lie."

"Well, what are you looking for? Watch out for bote!"

"Even El, Brother asked me to find something...." He hung up his sentence.

"You find a good place to hang out with El." He continued on again while laughing showing off his sweet smile.

"You know, I guess you just want to walk the road."

"Don't like it?" Her question was lethargic.

"Yes should be honest just want to invite El-date. that's it..."

"Yes! So now we're updating this?"

I just nodded answering his question.

"Yes! Means we're going out with dong..." He shook his hands in excitement. I can't stand her attitude anymore and pinch her again.

"What a fuck!"

******

"Let's go in..." Bang Nanda let me in her car.

We spent 4 hours having fun.

Yes, I am very happy. I don't know why I like to walk with him. Even though yesterday I met her I was nauseous.

Now that feeling just disappeared somewhere. Is that how fast I feel to be back as before? I felt yesterday it was just the effect of my shock.

I sat down next to the steering chair. I immediately remembered that incident. This car smells. Makes me remember what happened that night.

Remember how awkward and silent it was at dawn. And the day after that made me feel uncomfortable.

But I don't know, I'm here now the aura is different. Although still remembered the incident, but the strange feeling no longer appeared.

"Will it go again?" Tanya bang Nanda while putting up the seat belt.

"Hmm but where are you going? The road is already, eat too. Ice cream has been." I try to remember everything we did.

But then I suddenly remembered something.

"Geez!" My screams.

"Why why?!" Bang Nanda panicked.

"Can't bang, El just remembered there's a task for tomorrow." I said lethargic.

"Mathematics again..." Continue me.

"Jeez, I thought El had forgotten something or something..."

"Oh so El wants to go straight home because he wants to do the job?"

I nodded resignedly. Honestly, I still want to walk.

"Do you want to help me do the job?"

"Don't bang! kasian's a tired brother."

"Loh no papa, brother is quite good, adek other classes often ask with brother."

"Yes really. So it is thought that many brothers have a crush, even though the girl asked the brother to help her do her job."

"Ah that's their wits so that they can be close to brother." I said jutek.

"Kok brother want to?" My neighbor again.

"Kan brother is paid. Hehehe...."

"Huh!? The vow?"

He nodded confidently.

"Abang is paid to play games or help them make assignments. There's a tariff on it." He said with pride.

"Wah means for example tonight El asked for help, El pay dong."

"No... Special El free. A lifetime."

"That could be? Why is El different?"

"Yes because it's different. Hehe..."

Our car left the Mall area.

"El..." Call bang Nanda, this time his tone is more serious than the chatter that already has.

"Yes?"

"El don't be mad at you for talking about this."

I nodded and waited for his words.

"Brother's offer is still the same El...."

"Abang.... Wanna be El's girlfriend..."

"Not now, papa. Another month, another year, or when we graduate. No papa. I'll wait for Elsi..."

I was silent to his words. I was shot again? My chest started to thump.

"You want to wait for us to work later, no papa. Allow your brother to always be close to Elsi..." Continue again.

"Dude..."

Bang Nanda looked towards me.

"Why? Why is that Elsi?"

He was silent to my question. He thinks while driving. A moment between us was silence.

"Why then? Hm.... Don't understand."

I frowned hearing his answer. I'm not satisfied.

"What if you like there must be a reason, right?" Continue again.

"Abang if asked why should Elsi, yes honestly bang have no reason. Because it was Elsi. That's." He went back to explaining.

We fell silent again. If you think, really. If I was asked the real reason why I could fall in love with her, I was also confused as to what to answer.

Because handsome? The others are handsome too.

Because smart? Purna is smart too. But not the man in my eyes.

Charisma?

Because good and diligent saving?

I also can't answer. If forced, the possibility of being perfumed. But time because of that?

Bang Nanda parked her car right in front of my fence. He took off his seat belt and helped me too.

"Mama's home, right?"

"It looks like there's a bang."

"Abang can already say goodbye to mama no?"

I remember, the first time he drove me yesterday he was totally not allowed to go down and the car.

"Bo..can..."

We went down together. I knocked on the door hesitantly. I don't know why I'm nervous. I know my mom won't why.

The door opened, but it was Elmi who opened it.

"The Scene of El bang. Elma."

But the basic Elmi, she opened the door and let go leaving us both at the door. I called her again.

"Which mom?" ask me.

"MAAAA, THERE'S ELSI SAME TEMEN NYAAA!"

Uhhhhh basic Elmi crazy! He's screaming!

"Sorry bang, he's so." Bang Nanda just laughed.

Mama came out of our kitchen, carrying a rice pouch in her hand.

"Oh come in first. Bring it in El." Mom welcomed both of us.

"You're saying ma." I signaled to my mom.

"Yes aunty, I'd like to go straight away."

"Feed first? Have you eaten yet?"

"Udah aunt already. Thank you very much. Oh yes I am Nanda aunt. Elsi's friend."

Bang Nanda thrust her hand and welcomed by mom.

"Sorry, my aunt came home a little late."

"Oh no papa, Kan Elsi has also reported earlier. Really don't want to eat first?"

"There are many aunts. Maybe at another time."

After saying goodbye, I drove Bang Nanda back to her car.

"Now you know where the beautiful El can come from." Her chirps.

"Starting off bang..."

"really. Elmi aja handsome. Must be a girl idol at her school."

"Ah who wants to be the same super cute guy." I answered the origin.

"Oh yeah, a minute."

Bang Nanda left me and got into her car. Soon he came out to me again.

"May I borrow his right hand?"

I raised my hand towards her. He coiled a cute bead gelak.it was light blue and there was a Chamomile flower in the middle. Exactly my shirt today.

"So when El went to the toilet, Brother played a fad. I see there's a bracelet that matches El's shirt today."

"Great man can get it."

To be honest I was amazed, because playing the claw is not that easy.

"After 10 attempts." Said relaxed. I glare.

"I swear???"

"Oath. About his brother desperate should get this one. Hehe..."

"Jeez brother... Thanks yeah... Very pretty bracelet. El likes."

"Beautiful right? rich Elsi."

"Will...."

"Hehehe.. Yes, my brother is ready. I'll see you tomorrow." He stroked my head and walked into the car.

All night, all I did was stare at the bracelet with a heart full of Chamomile flowers.
