Different Faiths But the Same Amen

12. Varen Nembak Leticia's

The doctor said if Ticia was okay, there was nothing dangerous about the kick. And that made Ticia and Varen feel relieved.

Varen invites Ticia to lunch before driving her home. Ticia just according to what Varen wants. Ticia also knew how worried Varen was about her.

Varen turns his bike into a Mall. The two of them then walked to the food court inside the Mall.

"So why don't you ask for help anyway? You don't get hit with them" said Varen, who actually showed concern for Ticia.

"Is it because you're a karate jago, so you're their own opponent?" continued Varen who actually impressed worried.

"That kayak should be fought, let them not dare to macem again," replied Ticia casually.

"But as a result you got hit, right? I'm worried about knowing.. Don't do that kayak thing anymore, huh? I'm afraid you're okay" Varen grabbed Ticia's hand while looking at her gently.

Degs..

Ticia's heart was beating very fast, it might even be heard by Varen sitting right in front of her. However, after that Ticia avoided eye contact with Varen.

"Oh yes, brother Tika was angry with you." Ticia switched the conversation.

"She's just saying, she's just missing her parents." Varen did not take his eyes off him at all. And that made Ticia go wrong again.

"But I think Tika's sister likes you the same." As a fellow woman Ticia could see clearly. If Tika likes Varen not as a friend, but likes more to love.

"If you don't like me?" Varen was still staring at Ticia while asking such a question.

"No need to wait" Ticia again avoided eye contact with Varen.

Soon the food they ordered came. After they finished eating, they took a short walk around the Mall. Varen offers Ticia some of his preferred items. However, Ticia firmly refused the gift. Not because he doesn't like it. But he doesn't want to be considered a matre.

"If you can't refuse this!" Varen gave Ticia a necklace couple. Because Varen forced Ticia to accept the necklace as well.

Ticia smiled at the necklace. "We're like dating, right?" ticia said with a smile.

"Emang dating, you're my girlfriend" said Varen quickly with a smile that expands.

"Ish!" Ticia pushed Varen's body slowly. Then speed up his steps leaving Varen. But because Varen's legs are longer than Ticia's, so easily Varen can catch up to Ticia.

When they walked into a shoe store. Ticia stopped her steps and then into the store. "Gue wants to find a gift for someone to care for," said Ticia.

Varen rounded his eyes when he heard Ticia wanted to buy a gift for someone. Moreover, the shoe store is a men's shoe store. Varen was also upset.

"Who are you looking for gifts for?" ask Varen.

"There's a special person.." Ticia again provoked Varen.

"Specials? Wh who? Lo's girlfriend?" ask Varen again. This time he asked in anger.

Laughing, Ticia replied that she was looking for a gift for her father. His father loved sports, so Ticia wanted to buy sports shoes for his father.

Hearing Ticia's reply made Varen breathe a sigh of relief. Even Varen helps Ticia to choose shoes for her father Ticia. Varen has met his father Ticia several times. So he had a little recommendation what kind of shoes would be suitable for his father Ticia.

"Thank you, sister, I helped make a gift for my father" said Ticia happily.

"Yes, as long as you're concerned, I'm also fond of."

The two teenagers walked into the parking lot. From a distance there was the sound of Adhan. Ticia then asked Varen, whether he would pray first or immediately drive her home.

Varen, who had not been performing his duties as a Muslim for a long time, was silent to Ticia's question. I am afraid to go back to the past few years. When her mother was with her. His mother always reminded Varen to pray on time.

"Sister!" Ticia patted Varen's arm, and it shocked Varen from her daydream.

"Why? Varen's sister is a Muslim, right?" ticia asked, and Varen nodded her head slowly.

"Sister, worship is important and obligatory.. For by worship, besides obeying His commandments, we can also be closer to Him, the Giver of Life." Hearing Ticia's words, Varen turned his head and looked at her. What Ticia said was the same as what her mother used to say.

"Sister must promise to always obey worship, I don't want to chat brother, but for me, the guy is cooler if diligent worship, damagenya no medicine anyway." Varen looked back at Ticia deeply. He can be found with women who want to advise him to worship.

Then Varen drove his motorcycle to the nearest mosque.

"Gue wait here, brother?" ticia said she was also happy that Varen would listen to her advice.

A few minutes later Varen finished praying. Varen then drove Ticia to her front home. But before Ticia gets into the house. Varen held his hand. "Cia, we have different beliefs, do you still want to deket or be friends with me?" ask Varen seriously.

Ticia frowned at Varen's question. After that, she smiled a little. "Why not? Even if we have different beliefs, it does not mean we have to be enemies, right? Isn't the difference beautiful?" answer Ticia.

"I think religion is a spiritual affair, a religion of our relationship with God. Human relations are social relations. The most important thing is to respect and respect each other," added Ticia at length.

"Does that mean more to a relationship than a friend?"

"meaning?" ticia asked as she squinted her eyes.

"Lo will know how I feel to lo, why all this time I always disturb you lo."

"Why?"

"Because I like you" Varen said frankly to Ticia. Instantly made Ticia speechless. He also looks pleased with Varen's heart. Ticia bit her lower lip to hold back from smiling.

"But I'm"

"Gue doesn't need an answer. Because I think of you as my girlfriend." This includes the arbitrary actions of Varen. Without asking Ticia's permission, she already considered Ticia as her lover.

"Ish, what the hell." Ticia was amused by Varen's childish behavior.

"Well, my girlfriend, you can't protest!" varen ngeyel.

"Ish lo crazy yeah, it's as good as it is.." Ticia did not accept Varen's unilateral decision.

"Emang, I'm crazy because of lo," said Varen quickly.

"If I give you 10 seconds to answer, you don't want to be my girlfriend?"

"10,9,8,1. Time runs out, because you don't answer, I'm sure you accept my love.."

"Lo shit anyway, where there's 8 and 1, I just haven't had time to think too." protested Ticia.

"Not using a thought! Just accept it!"

"Forced.."

"When you go home, it's late in the afternoon you're looking for your parents!"

One interesting thing. Ticia did not immediately refuse and also did not accept the expression of love from Varen. Maybe because he wanted to see how far Varen was trying to show his seriousness.

"Well, come home first!" pamit Varen's.

"Aak said, eek kali ah." said Ticia while laughing.

"Dadah sayank" said Varen once again after then he ran his bike. While just smiling while nodding his head.
