Dollar Girl

Chapter 18 Sleeping Face

Sapardi came home with a cheerful look, in his return there was good news that he could not bear anymore to say to Ratna. A big project came to him through an old friend, a priest who needed his services to fix a chair in the church.

Not just one seat but there are many, after calculating the smallest Sapardi can reap profits of up to two million.

"Dad's leaving this afternoon too, the longest maybe a week more daddy's gone. You okay with staying home alone?" sapardi asked a little worried.

"Let's just calm down, I can take care of myself"

"Okay, but be careful!" he was greeted by a nod by Ratna.

Soon Ratna helped her father to clean up his clothes and equipment, until the time came for Sapardi to go Ratna also drove his father to the highway.

Ratna's hand-dropping accompanied her father's departure until it was lost from sight, this was the first time they separated at the age of Ratna who was fairly mature. The sadness mixed with silence made him stunned for a few minutes staring at the empty road.

"Your father is gone?" ask the grandmother who saw Ratna walking back to her house.

"Oh yeah.just left"

"Eat night at grandma's, you'll be lonely at home. Grandma's gonna make good cooking for you"

"Alright, let me help grandma cook" said Ratna who returned cheerful.

Ratna helped grandma get inside and prepared all the ingredients, her skill in cutting vegetables got compliments from grandma which made her a little embarrassed.

"What are you doing?" ask Amus who came right at dinner is ready.

"Help grandma cook"

"Why stand up? sit down!" my grandmother brought the last dish.

"Why do you cook so much food?" tanya Amus stared at all the dishes on the table.

"Because I'm eating here" replied Ratna.

"Ah...why did grandma trouble herself just for the sake of the Dollar? how about grandma's waist hurts?"

"Whatchu mean? am I so troublesome?" erang Ratna's.

"of course! you're making my grandmother a fuss" replied Amus.

"Aish, stop fighting, you guys are like mice and cats! grandma is fine quickly eat before the rice is cold" said grandma broke up.

Neither Amus nor Ratna dared to speak anymore, only the clashing gazes and silent lips. They began to eat the food on the table even though the occasional clash of mouth, finished eating Ratna did not forget to help grandma clean the table and wash all the dirty dishes.

"What are you doing?" ratna asked when she accidentally saw Amus sitting at her desk.

"Task, what else?" answer Amus.

"Tasks? do we have a job?"

"Basic stupid! you forgot his biology assignment?"

"God.

He quickly ran out of the house and into his house only to carry his taskbook, with a hunting breath he ran back to Amus' room.

"Ah. hhhhhhhhh I completely forgot!" he groaned while trying to catch his breath.

"Besides food and money there seems to be nothing else you think about" Amus commented.

"I said I forgot!" shout Ratna.

"Alright well" said Amus giving up.

"Ah... How is this? is there enough time to do it?" he muttered as he turned page by page.

Amus was stunned to look at the worried face of Ratna who looked funny, especially when she scratched her head until her hair was messy.

"Now! you can cheat me" said Amus handing over the book.

"You done with it?" ask Ratna.

"Um...you are so kind.thank you, you are my savior" Ratna said, developing a smile.

Soon Amus moves into his bed, allowing Ratna to use her desk to do chores. In the late night the room was quiet even though there were two people there, Ratna was very focused on her task while Amus was busy himself with games on his phone.

Until without feeling an hour has passed just like that, drowsiness began to attack the eyelids Amus. When he decided to go to sleep, he saw Ratna who had fallen asleep first on the table, her face was plain as an angel.

For a while he enjoyed the view on his study table, rarely could he see the moment when Ratna slept. Cute face that can make his heart beat racing fast, as well as a happy smile.

But, remembering Ratna's status which was now owned by another man made the smile fade.

"Why do you always bother me?" his murmur stared at me.

Slowly Amus lifted Ratna's head, leaning her on the chair before he lifted Ratna's body and moved her on the bed. He slowly laid down Ratna's body and covered her with a blanket.

"Ah...you sleep like a carcass" he muttered to see a slumbering Ratna even though she had been moved.

Because drowsiness attacked him again quickly Amus tidied the books on his study table and closed the room door while walking out.

Ddrrrr..... Ddrrrr...

Mm mm...

Ratna squirmed when she woke up to the sound of the alarm clock, several times her eyes blinked to adjust the vision because the sunlight entering through the window made the room bright.

Ddrrrr... Ddrrrr...

Ting

The shutdown of the alarm clock that has since sounded while looking at the clock.

"Ah... only six o'clock..but why is the sun's light so hot?" muttered.

"God.". "he cried when he remembered last night he was working on a task.

He looked around the room and only then did he realize that he was asleep in Amus's room, slowly he got up and went out. On the sofa in the living room he found Amus still asleep wrapped in a blanket, slowly he walked and sat right under the sofa just to see the face of Amus who was sleeping.

"Hmm, it turns out that her face is very sweet if she is asleep" he muttered looking at the face.

There is a feeling of pleasure mixed with amused given the nature of Amus who is stubborn and often angry, quite inversely proportional to his peaceful face during sleep.

Hhhhhhh

"Why do I sometimes feel like you like me? sometimes you're considerate and kind, sometimes your gaze feels so soothing that it makes me comfortable. If I told you I liked you... Would you give it back?" ratna said slowly.

"Hmmm, maybe we should continue to be friends like this. That way we can continue to fight and laugh later" he murmured with a smile.

His hands slowly lifted, removing the hair that was blocking Amus' eyes. But the movement made Amus squirm which actually invited a small laugh for Ratna, with curiosity he also tried to stroke Amus' cheek.

Slowly his hands moved from the cheekbones to the chin, the first touch was quite safe because Amus was not moving. Ratna tried to stroke him back but this time the touch was felt enough to make Amus open his eyes, suddenly Ratna was shocked to see Amus' eyes open and.

Aaarrrh...

Kyaaa.....

Dugh...

Aw....

They shouted simultaneously, making Ratna retreat quickly but as a result her head hit the end of the table.

"W-what are you doing?" ask Amus to rise.

"Aaarhhh. My head." Erang Ratna rubbed the back of her head.

"You... are you okay?" ask Amus.

"Of course not! wakeup! it's noon" cried Ratna up and passed leaving Amus still dumbfounded.
