Chased Om Om 2

Darren's Confession

"I like you, Ra," he said very clearly and firmly. 

I lowered both my hands. I don't know why my body feels so heavy. Even my pair of legs seemed numb, I could not deliver. 

Insensitive! It seems to be true. All this time I was too afraid to be considered kegeeran. I don't want to misunderstand and take someone's attention as something undue. This time I was guilty. 

I took a long breath. There was no more anger that exploded, everything disappeared in an instant. It seems that Darren is waiting for my decision. 

"Ren, I can understand how you feel. But .. sorry Ren, a–aku …." 

Darren moved closer. He put his index finger over my lips. "Shh …. Plis, don't say anything, Ra," he said, shaking his head. "Forget what I said. I wasn't expecting anything. I just want to stay comfortable next to you." 

The young man pulled the corner of his lips revealing a beautiful smile. This time my hunch said, Darren is not teasing me. He meant it. 

Maybe after this, I should start to keep my distance from him.

"You're not home yet, Shin?" ask my best friend who is standing in front of the school gate.

"It's Ra …. It's not usually Togar's late to pick me up." Shinta looks so agitated. 

"Have you tried calling him?" my many.

Shinta did not answer yet. A black car stopped in front of us. The driver rushed down and ran over to us.

"Sorry Non, I used to tire on the road. The tires are deflated, there are punctured bolts." The middle-aged man appeared to be covered in sweat.

"Yes, no papa, come home" Shinta told the family's private driver.

"I'm anterin all of you, yuk .." he asked later. 

I see my surroundings. In the parking lot, there's still a Darren black motorcycle. Hmm .. I might as well accept Shinta's invitation. 

"really? You're not hunting today?" my many. 

"No, not much comment. Come along what?" shinta. 

"Okay, I also have to get ready to go to Marcel's studio this afternoon." 

I followed Shinta up to her car. 

"Ra, Darren's tumben's on the bike." Shinta moved her pair of eyebrows, as if giving me an order to look out the window. 

It looks like the young man is turning on his second wheeled vehicle. His face looked so irritated, as if the heaviest burden of life was being borne.

"That bike is usually he's affectionate, never out. He said limited edition anyway, either ... I do not understand the motor." Shinta also saw the figure of the young man who was currently wearing his binocular helmet. 

Suddenly the girl looked like she was thinking while looking at me. "Didn't he come this morning with you, did he?" 

I heaved a sigh of relief as the car started to drive away from my school. My feelings were still muddled after hearing Darren's expression of feelings during the break earlier.

"Ra, are you fighting Darren?" ask Shinta suddenly. 

"Overbrush? Where's ada?" I said with an awkward laugh on my lips. "No, really. We're not fighting." 

"Really?" shinta asked while throwing a suspicious look at me. 

I raised both my fingers, forming a symbol of victory. "Wears!" 

"Gee! It was definitely in the cafeteria, you two were marahan." Shinta pinched my gnarled cheek. "Where to use the chase show like a Bollywood movie scene again." 

"Makanya .. don't lie to me," said Shinta. 

"Emang. Just like him."

Shinta cleared her throat like intentionally teasing me. "Ra, inget you know. Looks like the cupid has sown the seeds of love between the two of you. Hmm .. Just wait a minute before the arrow unites your two hearts."

"Gee! What the hell, ngaco ih. I don't want to date before I graduate school, anyway" I said. "What did he pay you how much for my soul mate to be with him?" 

Shinta's eyes are in a pattern. "What?" he shouted while laughing. "Why did he pay me?"

I patted my forehead. Duh, why am I letting go anyway. 

The girl frowned. "G …. I know, lest he'd have …." 

This time his expression changed. Not only were his eyes rounded in shock, his hands also covered his gaping mouth. 

"Do you refuse him?" tanyanya. 

"No. I'm the same she's got nothing" I said.

"By the way tomorrow's her birthday." Shinta is out of topic. 

"Why is it her birthday?" my many. 

"Tauk ah," he said, beginning to feel annoyed at my answers. "Just tomorrow afternoon I'll take you to her birthday party, period!"

The vehicle stopped right in front of my house. The driver looked back. "It's over, Non." 

I laughed and chuckled at the face of my best friend who suddenly took the sewot. "If I don't want to, what?" tease her. 

I opened the car door and came down laughing. "Sir Togar, thank you …. Shin, thank you." I closed the door and waved to my friend.

Shinta bows her head from the newly opened window. "Four hours in the afternoon. We have to buy a gift before we go to the show tomorrow. Watch out if you run away." 

The girl pursed her lips while uttering the threatening phrase. I flicked my shoulders and immediately entered the house the moment after the car had passed from before me. 

"Home home, honey?" greet my mama. "Fast eat there, he said there's a four o'clock affair."

The hour hand was still pointing to the number three, when I had finished with all my preparations. I've had a shower, dressed up neatly and dressed up in polite clothes for this afternoon's contract signing. 

There's still plenty of time left. I took the time to turn back the interest math book, to repeat the lesson I had just received. There are some things I need to do as an exercise. 

"Ah, how did you get this calculation?" I pecked annoyed and started scratching an opaque paper to try a calculation, until I got the answer I thought was right.

"It's not too hard, though," I murmured. I pulled my hands up to stretch. 

That's when I saw a man walking through my fence. About Damar! But it's still not close to four. 

And soon my mother's voice called out to me. I immediately tidied the books that were on my desk back into my school backpack. 

Once again I looked at myself in front of the mirror, checking if there was anything that did not look neat. Plain shirts in pastel colors combined with black trousers, made me look fresh this afternoon.

I opened the door to my room and grabbed my little bag and immediately set out to meet him. 

The man looked at me with his trademark smile. "Are you ready?" tanyakanya. 

I nodded my head. The smile seemed to grow on his lips. "Good, Tiara. You look so pretty this afternoon."
