Cracked Pearls

Enticings

I thank you for this beautiful day.

Disbelief still lingers in my mind.

The presence of Om Krishna became a new force. Three times a thank you, representing another thousand to a pair of old men who felt like water in my thirst.

The event passed, Om Krishna and Aunt Maria took me home, after I was satisfied to cuddle with friends, take pictures, and others of course.

I agreed because there was no other reason to stay.

Everyone is busy with their own business.

Me and the old man walked towards Om Krishna's car. But then ....

“TIARA!” A call stopped our movement for a moment, then turned at the same time.

“Zhio,” call me.

The guy walked over to us, then stopped right in front of me.

“Siang, Om, Aunt. Sorry to interrupt for a moment,” says politely Zhio decorated smile pull.

“Siang.” The couple replied briefly.

“What's up, Zhi?” my many. Gets a stiff glimpse at Om Krishna and Aunt Maria who are waiting. I'm a little uncomfortable with this.

His big glasses legs straightened Zhio just before then talking to the point, “Begini, Om, Aunt. I want permission, take Tiara for a walk. Auntie doesn't mind, does she?”

I'm pretty surprised by that. My feelings were upset, kicking eyes at Om Krishna and Aunt Maria - afraid they would not like this. Because, Algi used to be reckless to do this once, but Om Krishna's answer made me creep. And finally Algi came home with a limp shoulder leaving the door he started knocking confidently. Also Budi our complex neighbors who had come with a flower intended to take me on the road, also did not escape the subtle om Krisna that night.

“Please! But don't come home too slow!”

Ha?!

I was clearly flabbergasted by that answer.

Does Krishna allow?

“Still, Om.” Zhio smiled happily.

“Be careful. Do not let Pearl there is a blister when you return to my home!”

The commemoration of Aunt Pearl was embraced by Zhio with vigor. “Definitely, Auntie!”

“Ya, already. We're pampering. Careful.”

Me and Zhio nodded. Staring at the two parents who started getting into his car and drove away from us.

“Come, Tiara.”

With a slight reluctance, I accepted Zhio's helping hand.

We walked past the rows of cars and motorcycles that were still crowded parked in that place, and stopped at the end of the row.

One car door opened Zhio. “Come, login.”

I stammered in my place. I feel familiar with this treatment. My shadow ran on the Korean dramas I often watched in Bandung.

Zhio is so sweet.

“Still,” I said as I sucked myself into a car that looks and types .. a little old-sorry.

Zhio circled around the front after closing the car door that swallowed me, then entered through the other door and sat at the steering wheel.

Before running the machine, the guy threw a smile at me who was still still watching all his movements.

“Why did you see that? I'm handsome huh?”

Weee???

I turned my face away, quite surprised by the question. “Apaan the hell you are! I'm just surprised, you can drive a car,” I replied.

“Well, did I ever tell you I couldn't?!” Zhio chuckles. The machine starts running.

“No too!” I pursed my lips with my eyes straight ahead. At first glance, Zhio seemed to still chuckle.

.....

“Where were you? How come I didn't see you in the hall?” my question broke the silent atmosphere when the car had gone far enough to leave school.

“I have business outside. All graduation business I have submitted with my guardian,” replied the man.

Getting me a striped smile, Zhio will definitely play a puzzle.

But I'm not worried. He's too good to suspect.

All right, I'll wait for what he's gonna do, and where he's taking me.

The longer, the farther away it feels. There was no conversation between us. I'm getting sleepy. My gaze bristled, the heavier it supported the eyelids to open. And ....

.....

I feel my cheeks dicoel-coel. A soft palm with a sturdy fingers, I caught it and then I removed it with an annoyed pat, so as not to disturb my calm.

“We're here.”

“What the hell?!" I rebuked the voice with my eyes still closed.

This time it moved into my head.

“Tiara, we have arrived.”

The voice repeats, and ....

Ha's?

My heavy eyes widened instantly. Scroll left and right, then aghast later.

My gaze met Zhio's smile, then descended to the man's shoulder.

Realizing something, I threw away the face with a shy ringing that made everything feel red.

How could I have fallen asleep so soundly-on Zhio's shoulder ...?

Oh, My ....

“Come, down.”

Again Zhio who had exited the car first opened the door, then extended his hand towards me.

I grabbed it a little awkward.

I looked around, right after my feet stepped on the earth covered in hexagon paving blocks that were not so wide.

A clothing store!

The building is glazed with statues dressed in all sorts of women's clothing, transparent to the outside. I looked at him with a frown.

“Kok to here?” tanya wonder.

Not answering, the man then took my hand and pulled up our legs and walked towards the door of the shop.

Once inside, I was dumbstruck, responding to the behavior of Zhio who continued to remove some sheets of clothes on my front body, while muttering, “This is not suitable, this one is too flashy, so it's too big, if this is a flurry, this one, hmm ... rich lemper must be your dipake.”

Countless of them he had put back into place because they did not suit his taste.

“What are you doing anyway?” In the end I asked.

“Buy clothes for you! Yes, you want to use the road here and there,” explained Zhio while taking one of the tops of the hangers lined up.

I took a long breath. “Cowok this .. why not say from earlier, anyway! I can choose myself!” omel my heart. “I choose myself!” my breakup was too anxious to respond to his smart-ass behavior.

I walked towards a row of hangers containing simple dresses at low prices. One I took and then went into the locker room not far from my place. Satisfied glazed and swirling, I came out with my kebayaku shirt and suit.

Outside, Zhio was already waiting with a look of annoyance-like looks. I chuckled little in response to that. Even though he was a tompel and geeky, somehow his behavior always managed to make me show my teeth.

“Hey!”

My clap on his shoulder managed to shock Zhio to the point of slamming backwards with a silly look.

“You what-”

The sentence suddenly broke. Now Zhio is looking at me like a stunted person.

“Kok dumbly?!” tanyaku tilted his face observing the expression of his feet.

....

....

“Cantics.”
