Duren Palm

Whispers

It's like being hypnotized. He did not realize that Ardi was gone from his sight. He held his lips and felt his chest begin to rumble.

Why is my heart beating so fast? My legs are limp, my body feels cold hot.

Occasionally he touches the cheeks of the neck and chest that beat fast.

Did that old man give me heart disease? Why do I feel so bad?

Rianti entered the house and closed the door. He went to the kitchen and drank 2 glasses of water there.

Why is my heart rate not normal?Do I need to rest, muttered Rianti. He immediately stepped his foot into the room.

Rianti kept two gift boxes on the dressing table, laying down his body on the mattress while staring at the ceiling of the room. He fell silent and the incident flashed very clearly in his memory. Looks like a smile that is so flaky and cheeks that begin to blush decorate the beautiful face of Rianti

Rianti touched his lips.

Is that what you call a kiss? It feels strange, chewy how.

Rianti took the roll, hugged it and occasionally bit the squash on the roll. He also seemed to merge with the bolster, rolling to and fro with a smile that was still visible on his face.

After feeling a little tired, he stopped the unusual activity.

She began to sit in front of the dresser and saw the reflection of her face in the mirror.

Why can't I stop smiling? Is this what you call falling in love? I never thought falling in love would be this happy.

Rianti held her cheeks that looked flushed. He felt his body temperature begin to warm but felt shivering at the same time.

A moment later Rianti quickly slapped his cheek softly.

"No ... no .. no! I'm sure this isn't love. I'm not a perverted girl who just kissed, made me fall in love. I don't want to be a slave to the old man's love." said Rianti, clenching his hands.

Now Rianti's attention is distracted. He looked at the two boxes in front of him.

He started to open a gift from Andra.

"so good this locket. Try if there is a partner. Surely I love Shinta," said Rianti in a slightly regretful tone.

"hm."

Rianti stared at the gift from Ardi.

"What's that about?" riati said while twirling the gift box.

With his heart pounding again, he ventured to open the small gift box.

And after it was opened, Rianti's eyes widened and mouth gaping, but he quickly covered his mouth with a palm.

Rianti started to take out the contents and looked in amazement at the small silver-colored object.

Is this called a diamond? Beautiful and sparkling .. so beautiful ....

A smile was again etched on his face. He put the ring to the ring finger and tried to move his fingers and flip the palm.

But after a while, he began to stop the smile with eyes that started staring intently at the mirror. It sounded like someone was whispering in his ear.

Since when did you become fond of bling bling like this Rianti. Didn't you just say firmly to her, that you're not a matre girl. But now what? You're so happy with just a ring. Where is your pride Rianti.

Rianti's face looked grim. He took the diamond ring off his finger. He stared at the ring in front of him. Eventually, he put the ring back. Smiles are beginning to look back.

"Ahh bodo very ..kan I never asked in buyin. This stuff is too beautiful, baby if only taken. After all, he himself said that he was the duren palm. Surely he has more money and can not go bankrupt just because of this ring," said Rianti with confidence.

Now he moved from his seat and hugged a teddy bear that was almost as big as his body. Smiled loosely and stepped to and fro as if dancing.

He did not even realize how long he had been doing abnormal activities. Until her mother went into the room and found herself dancing with a doll.

Long inner struggle does not stop Rianti from enjoying the moments he thinks need to be celebrated. The harder the brain says 'Don't, ' the stronger the heart says 'yes'.

On a sunday morning.

"Yes Bang, you haven't been jogging for a long time" Shinta replied as she finished her shoes.

"Bang Aan is leaving today?" shinta asked as she stretched her stiffened body.

"Yes, afternoon. You start tomorrow," replied Andra after sipping his coffee.

"If you're there, treat me to a good meal. Trus knows me as a cogan on campus," said Shinta while releasing a long smile.

Andra who heard Shinta's words immediately stood up and reached out to her sister's ear.

"You know, so girls don't be coquettish, no good."

"Yes .. yes," answered Shinta who grimaced in pain, trying to remove her ear from Andra's hand.

Andra only smiled in satisfaction after giving a lesson to her flirtatious cousin.

"Yes already .. I want to run first mumpung still morning. If you're sorry, my skin is an item, then you can't get a cute guy" Shinta said with a smile.

Andra who heard Shinta's words again wanted to pull out the girl's ears. But Shinta hurriedly dodged, and ran away leaving Andra who still looked annoyed.

After a while, Andra smiled at Shinta who was slowly missing from her sight.

"It turns out you're big now."

Shinta ran around the residential complex where she lived all this time. He had already called Rianti to invite his best friend to run in the morning together. But Rianti refused on the grounds that he was still sleepy.

Shinta arrived at the complex park, he set his breath panting and saw that there were some people doing the same activity as him.

drtt .. drtt ..drttt.

Shinta's phone vibrated, and a message came through her WA app.

Mr. Haikal.

What are you now? Not breakfast yet?

"Tumben the boss. Bales isn't it?" muttered Shinta while holding her chin.

Shinta had not been able to reply to the message, suddenly entered again a message from Mr. Haikal

Mr. Haikal.

Why not bales? You are already working with me!!!!!!

Shinta sees a message from Haikal. What's more he saw so many exclamation marks in that message.

Wah ... It looks like the boss is angry, Yes it's bales. Now find hard work.

The shinta.

No sir, I was jogging again so did not know there was a message father entered.

Mr. Haikal.

Oh .. I guess you got a job somewhere else. So when did you get to work?

The shinta.

Tomorrow I'm OTW sir, so the day after tomorrow I can go to work.
