“Shel, you are beautiful you use this, graceful,”
“Anggun? Singer dong,”
Actually Shelina spoke like that to get rid of her nervousness after being praised by Argantara who opened the door and let her out after they arrived at a cafe where Diana's birthday party took place.
Just this time there was a man who flatly praised him. That's why Shelina was nervous. Usually only his papa, this time Argantara who praised his performance tonight. He felt ordinary. But somehow Argantara praised her as beautiful and graceful.
“Seriously, you're getting beautiful and kayak gini,”
Shelina laughed, if only Argantara knew that she only wore facial moisturizers, and lip dyes. No special dressings tonight.
“Dandanan girls inside must be very intent, I do not intend so just use a moisturizer just the same lipbalm,”
“You have no intention already very beautiful, Shel, especially if the intention. Do not deh, even danger if you intend dandan,”
“Lho, why?”
“So many people are fascinated with you, later I will be bothered,”
“Repot how does it mean?”
“People are bothered. I'm not happy that anyone is fascinated by you. But ‘kan I can not prohibit yes, humans have the right to repsona same anyone,”
“You're there. Excessive to me, even though I am not beautiful, ordinary,”
“According to me is very beautiful, although not the intention of make up,”
“There are praise me you know, so glad I am, but honestly I am ashamed,”
Argantara laughed and suddenly just grabbed Shelina's hand. And that certainly made Shelina flinch in shock. Argantara grasped Shelina's hand tightly and presented a warm feeling that spread from Shelina's hand to Shelina's heart.
“Tonight it's okay ‘kkan I hold his hand? Afraid to leave,”
“Emang I chicken?”
“Yes no, want your mastiin just as I continue, because it's late at night and many people so you're safe just like me. On my shoulder I have been given the responsibility to take care of you,”
Shelina was at a loss for words. Is this really the love language of an Argantara? Word affirmation, happy to throw sweet words. Earlier praised her beautiful, now firmly saying that she will carry out the responsibility in guarding Shelina. Argantara did not want Shelina to be far away from him. So that Argantara is easier to take care of Shelina.
But briefly. Love languages? Did Arnold love her? Shelina was still doubtful even though Argantara was already blatantly showing it.
“Hai, Ga. Wuih bring a girl,”
Diana greeted Argantara warmly, and she glanced at the beautiful-looking Shelina tonight.
“Happy birthday, On. I doain is good for you. Oh yeah, I know, this is Shelina's name. The same campus we are just different majors,”
“Iya-iya I've seen but I don't know his name. Hi, Shelina, thanks for coming,”
Diana reached out her hand which was immediately warmly received by Shelina. “Hai, Diana. Happy birthday yes. I wasn't invited with you, but taught the same Argantara,”
“Gue invite anyone boyfriend of my friends,”
Hearing the word ‘boyfriend’ Shelina instantly clumsily for a moment. The problem that Argantara is asking is not a girlfriend at the moment, but her status is still a friend.
“Ayo-ayo eat. Have fun yes, Ga, Shel,”
“Okay thanks,”
Argantara invited Shelina to come to a round table that was quite large in size and there were already some Argantara friends.
“Ga, we want to go there?” Shelina asked as she stepped up, and her hands were still tightly grasped by Argantara.
“Yes, why? You mind? Want to find somewhere else?”
“What am I doing joining there? That's your friend all huh?”
“Yes, it's okay to join there, why? They're all good, people are welcome. Thank goodness all my friends aren't neko-neko, Ki,”
“I'm ashamed to join, Ga,”
“Why be ashamed, Shel? Be confident, do not be shy, they are good, fun too, just calm, you will not be expelled with them,”
“Ih I also do not think will be expelled, I will be awkward later,”
“Not to be awkward, consider it yourself,”
“Iya-iya, I won't be awkward,”
They soon arrive at the table where some Argantara friends gather. Seeing the arrival of Argantara, five men who became residents of the table immediately greeted Argantara. The five of them also brought their respective lovers.
“Sit, boss. Wuidih did not come alone. In the group mah anteng aja, kirain will come alone, uh do not know it bring gang with,”
“Name Shelina,”
“Halo, Shel,”
They immediately smiled greeting Shelina kindly. It's true what Argantara said just now. They all welcomed him with open arms.
“Infiancee how long lo, Ga? When's marriage? Buruan dong jan long-long hehe,”
“Doain aja,”
Only so Argantara's answer that certainly makes them all confused. Had thought that Argantara and Shelina were already in a relationship as a couple of fiancees and in the near future will get married but it seems not because Argantara's answer is not about the time asked by Idan. Because Idan was curious since when Argantara and Shelina were in a relationship.
“The agent abis passed, doain,” Argantara said continuing his words.
“Oh does not date mean? Waduh, but the romance is not long,”
“Don't want to directly sat this set mah, could be before pass,”
“Doain the best already,”
Again Argantara only asked for prayer. They increasingly suspect Argantara will immediately marry, no longer dating. Argantara type that is not much to say, it could be suddenly immediately spread the invitation.
“Just if you really want to marry, you have to share the invitation to us yes, Ga,”
“Definitely, relax,”
“Ah, I'm afraid definitely eh no idea even did not say mah wed,”
“Ya already, just aja discussed her, ‘kan I do not want to marry tomorrow morning,”
“Kia, college where we are? See it often,”
“Iya,”
“Oh turns out Argantara likes different majors so yes, Ga?”
“Neither, depending on the person,”
“But this is a fiancee what the hell? Not dating?”
The man with the hat on his head looked at Argantara and Shelina with squeaking eyes. He was really curious as to what exactly the relationship of this Argantara and Shelina was.
“Ya if the fiancee can be said to be dating anyway? Gatau deh I,” said Argantara who does not care what status is now important Shelina already he has tied semi-permanent.
“Oalah, but I think it's close to special huh? Not very ordinary. Shelina has been invited here,”
“Yes because I deketnya just the same him, when I bring another? Take him for sure,”
“Cie, uhuy. Stank the gas bro! Don't be late, it's ready lo mah,”
“Who is what?”
“Priest dong,”
Argantara laughs and assures in the heart. If the problem is ready, he has the courage to say yes. But whose soul mate does not know yet, but he hopes Shelina is the soul mate of the afterlife. Shelina? Either Shelina is ready or not in the near future because their chat after graduation continues.
They spend time chatting for approximately thirty minutes. Argantara stared at the circular watch on his wrist. He remembered, he could not take Shelina away for too long, if he himself had no problem going home until one night even though. He stayed honest with his mother if he was still with his friends.
“Eh I'm the same Shelina back home yes,”
“Okay, ati-ati on the road, bro,”
“Kok cepet very anyway? Also nine o'clock,”
“Neither can my nights, because bring people's children, Dan,”
Idan nodded his head. He understood, it turned out that Argantara did not want to be too long at the event because it brought Shelina. Idan thinks there may have been a deal with Shelina's parents to keep Shelina from being sent home too late.
Argantara and Shelina say goodbye to the owner of the event, Diana sebum they really left the event.
“Okay, be careful, thank you so much for coming,”
After saying goodbye, Argantara and Shelina walked towards the cafe exit. But before that, Argantara wanted to urinate first. Because actually he had wanted to go to the bathroom, but because it was fun chatting so hesitant to go to the bathroom.
“Shel, I went to the bathroom just fine?”
“It's okay, I'm sitting here,”
They both stopped. Shelina immediately sat on one of the empty seats, still inside the cafe, while Argantara rushed to the bathroom.
“Wait a minute, don't go anywhere yes,” order Argantara like that before leaving Shelina.
Shelina finally sat down to observe the atmosphere of Diana's festive birthday party. Everything is familiar.
“I want to drink ah,”
Shelina accidentally saw a table that contained a large number of neatly arranged drinking glasses. And suddenly he wanted to try.
He immediately took it and then sipped it a little. Because it felt strange, he immediately put it down again.
“What the hell is that? How bad is it?” He muttered softly with a frowning face. He regretted sipping the drink because it did not taste well and only this time he knew the taste of the drink. He circulated the view looking for water to expel the bad taste on the tongue, He saw there was a water bottle neatly arranged as well. Without lingering He immediately took it.
“Well, if this is good, water is usually fine. What did you try? So strange,”
“Shel!”
Shelina immediately turned her head when her name was called. Argantara came to him with a sense of relief because what he was holding was finally discarded as well.
“You thirsty?”
“No, just curious about the same drink, just as I tried not delicious. Yes, I took some water, fortunately I found it. Otherwise, my tongue still feels bad from drinking it when only a little I drink,”
“Jeez, Shel. That's ‘kan alcohol, why do you drink?”
Argantara immediately looked at Shelina with worry. His eyes widened when Shelina pointed at the glass array, which was an alcoholic beverage, and then he stared at the drink Shelina was holding to make sure it was not alcohol but plain water.
“Hah? That's alcohol? Sorry, I don't know. I was wondering that's why I tried. Uh it doesn't taste good at all,”
“Create the one who does not like, do not usually drink emang bad. So if at the party do not carelessly drink, you ‘kan do not know it is safe or not,”
Argantara did not want Shelina wrong again later, so he advised. He did not expect that Shelina would find her own drink. And there's an alcohol that Shelina doesn't like.
“Partially don't ask me to take a drink,”
“Ngapain? I ‘kan have my own equal footed hands. I can take it myself,”
“Ya but finally you even get alcohol ‘kan,”
“Just a little bit earlier. Luckily, I didn't know it was alcohol, seriously. If you know, I won't try. I think there are no drinks here so,”
“Udah ordinary, his name is also a young birthday boy, who made a party. I like that drink. It depends on whether the guest wants to or not. Yes, now we go home yuk,”
Argantara immediately grabbed Shelina's hand and invited her to go out leaving the crowd inside the cafe that was deliberately reserved specifically to celebrate Diana's birthday tonight.
“Shelina, what are you feeling after drinking that? You are okay ‘kan?”
“Just still not good in the mouth, safe really, Ga,”
“Just next time do not be careless anymore yes, if you are given a drink in the party, you must also be vigilant. You ‘kan his person so innocent, look out of his face. Fear of being attacked by people. Duh, it turns out I'm still careless to take care of you, Shel. Sorry yes, because I went to your bathroom so—“
“Arga, how the hell is that? Don't talk about it. ‘It's wrong I didn't know that it turned out to be alcohol,”
“Usually there is a cafeteria officer who guards on the table, how come there was no one?”
“Maybe someone else got a jerk daft, so leave the table deh,”
“But you are really all right ‘ right? Not nauseous? No dizziness, Shel?”
“Ngak, Ga. Relax, I'm fine, just still feeling bad in my mouth,”
“Yeah, so remember my message earlier yes, do not forget. If you come to the event, especially parties, do not carelessly drink. If you are a child who likes to drink is not a problem, well this is you the opposite,”
“It turns out that it feels like? Why do some people like it?”
“Ya delicious,”
“Hah? Tastier? Ih it feels so weird, so where is it?”
“According to them delicious, Shel,”
Argantara and Shelina arrived at the parking area. Argantara opened the car door and let Shelina in. Shelina immediately used the seat belt, and Argantara followed into the car.
“You like to drink like that, Ga?”
“Ngak,”
“But have never tried?”
“Early, but not doyan. If I had a normal drink. Kayak water, tea, milk, juice. I like it so, not strange. But if again get together with friends, there continue to be drinks like that and taught to drink yes I drink, let the same,”
“Ih, you don't enjoy the same people?”
“The goal is to name it anyway, let a little I will drink, but that abis yes I cuekin aja,”
“Cock laughing?”
Hearing Shelina chuckle, Argantara was certainly confused. A second later he remembered that Shelina had just sipped an alcoholic drink. He pulled the car over to make sure Shelina was safe.
“Nothing, funny about your story. Because I want the same as a friend, so drink even if only a little. I think you have a high sense of solidarity, ”, Shelina said still with her laugh.
“Shelina, are you laughing because you're funny or are you drunk? I ‘kan so worry this, Shel,”
“Hah? Mabok?”
“Yes, are you mabok? Hence laughing,”
“That's good! I realized, I'm not mabok, Ga! How do you think I mabok anyway?”
“Yes I'm afraid of it, because you were—“
“I only drink seuprit, geez. Calm down, I don't think that's bad. My guy really drinks a little. After trying it didn't taste good, I put it on the table. And I'm looking for water,”
“Soalya you have never drank like that ‘kan? That's why I'm afraid his reaction in your body is excessive,”
“No-no, relax, Arga,”
Shelina rubbed Argantara's arm briefly to calm Argantara down. The man seemed really anxious.
He has already confirmed that He is well. The drink only entered very slightly into his mouth, he thought there was no overreaction from his body.
“If you get to anything, I'm worried, I panic. I'm afraid I'm the same as your mom. Ntar can't go with you anymore,”
“Quietly, I am healthy, safe, sentosa,” said Shelina interspersed with her way so that Argantara's mood is not tense.
“Hopefully I'm okay. Just not good on the tongue, it still feels a little, in the esophagus also so bad,”
“You want some candy? I have candy on the car dashboard, just try,”
“You exist? I want, really candy ‘kan this?”
“It is, really candy, milk taste keeps sweet. Do you think candy is a lie?”
“Ngak which makes mabok ‘kan?”
Argantara laughed, instead of being offended. It seems that because of the drinking, Shelina became traumatized. He will not store items that smell negative in his car or house.
“I'm not looking at the guy, Shel. You just calm down. Don't be afraid, just eat the candy, you find yourself yes,”
“Okay, can I open your dashboard huh?”
“Bby dong, find there the candy,”
As soon as Shelina opened the Argantara car dashboard, it turned out that there were three types of candy. Shelina to be confused choose which candy because it looks all delicious.
“Ih you how much candy is in the car? I want all ‘kan to be. Which one did I choose? All good looks. Which milk taste is there, fruit is there, cola is,”
“Take everything, don't choose, Shel. Bring all the same you yes. Let you eat at home too,”
“Yeah, I brought all these sweets. Don't know that's his name,”
Shelina won't do that even though she likes the candy and candy on the dashboard of Argantara's car looks good all.
Of course he was embarrassed to take over the sweet food.
“Lho, how about that? Seriously, take it with you. I rarely eat sweets. It was a month ago if it wasn't wrong. Temenin mama I to the supermarket, keep buying it deh, well not opened until now because emang I rarely eat something if on the way,”
“No ah, I asked for milk, one for me yes,”
“Yeah, just one doang handle. One plastic only if you do not want three of them you take,”
“No, mostly, Arga. One piece is enough,”
“People's good can't be rejected, Shel. Let's go get it all. People are not much. Anyway it's all you bring down later yeah,”
“Ih, do not know myself very much I robbed candy in your car,”
Shelina laughed at herself. Before people gave him such an assessment, he had already done it first.
“Three plastics are so many. Later mama I was surprised, thought I could help at Diana's birthday,”
“Dih, what the hell are you talking about? I don't like ah hear it,”
“Yes because you don't think. Time all for me?”
“Yes it's okay dong, just candy. I do not like to eat that if again on the trip let alone fit nyetir, so rather than the candy nganggur mending for you. You ‘kan happen to like the same peremn,” Argantara said to Shelina who insisted on not accepting what he had given. Though Argantara will be very happy if Shelina accepts.
“I bought it on a whim to ngisi dashboard. You see my dashboard is quiet ya ‘kan. Yes, I bought sweets. Uh don't eat that. I think it's been a month or so, don't let it expire because I'm cuekin tuh candy. If the same you must be eaten, surely abis because you like candy ‘kan?”
“Happy, just ya—“
“Eat the candy, so that the traces of the curse drink no longer exist,” tell Argantara who no longer want to discuss the matter of candy.
“Okay I ate ya, I asked ya,”
“Iya, Shelcan,”
Argantara this time not only mention a piece of the name, but Shelcan which means Shelina is beautiful. No one had ever called Shelina that way. And somehow Argantara's soft voice when saying her name made Shelina smile.
“Arga voice is polite yes in ear,”
“Eh, how silent? Even I am glancing at me. Eat the candy, Shel,”
“Eh yes forgot,”
Being imagining when Argantara was angry, and curious how the appearance when Argantara was angry, finally made Shelina forget to eat milk-flavored candy that He asked from Argantara.
“Still yes, Ga,”
“Still for what?”
“Udah ajakin I took a walk tonight, finally I met a new friend, thanks for taking care of me too, thanks for giving candy, anyway thanks for everything deh,”
“Sama-sama, you should not have to say thank you,”
“Should dong, because you ‘kan well,”
“Thank you for being my friend tonight, sorry if anything makes you uncomfortable,”
“Not there, take it seriously. I'm comfortable going with you, Ga. Your friend also made me comfortable earlier, I'm not awkward, mingle aja it,”
“If my friend is not too comfortable, can be comfortable with me,”
“You are possessive huh?”
“Hmm? Not really,”
“Soalah earlier I was really taken care of, continue just now I was not allowed to be comfortable with your friend. Why why?”
“Nyaman same I already, said people ‘kan sense of comfort can be love,”
Shelina laughed as she again got free entertainment. Rather He was awkward when Argantara discussed love. It's better he laughs. The discussion of love is too heavy for him who feels like he has never been in love.
Argantara's car arrives at Shelina's house. Argantara walked to the left to open the door but Shelina had already opened the door for herself.
“No need to open the door for me, Ga. I'm like a queen,”
“Yes is a queen, girls ‘kan queen, if a guy's name is king,”
“But I am not a queen, I am the same queen as heaven and earth,”
Argantara menjwil tip nose bangir Kia who just lowed. Argantara was unhappy when people were too insecure, like this Shelina. Know yourself is necessary, but too insecure is also not good.
“You have advantages, do not be too insecure deh, not good,”
“Yes so do not match me like a queen, ih you do not understand yes if the girl is insecure her tuh high,”
“But you are the queen, be the second queen after mom. May my wish be achieved, hehehe,”
I don't know why Argantara became wrong after saying such a thing. And he immediately tried to find a diversion.
“Eh where's the candy?”
Because Shelina's hand was empty, so she asked about the candy that Shelina should have brought down also from the car.
“I didn't bring it,”
“Kok you that anyway? Anyway it's for you aja,”
Argantara hurriedly took three packs of candy. The one pack Shelina had opened earlier, and Shelina took one, while the other two packs had not been opened at all. Argantara handed it all over to the flabbergasted Shelina for a moment.
“This is really for me? You're not sorry? Gini candy is delicious, Ga. I have candy at home, too,”
“Ya have saved. ‘Kan candy in your home is not necessarily the same as this, yes ‘kan? Anyway take it yes,”
Now Argantara pressed the bell of Shelina's house. And soon after her mother Shelina, Beautiful, opened the door.
“Assalamualaikum, Aunt,”
“Waalaikumsalam, Alhamdulillah get here safely,”
“Thank you for permission Shelina to go with me yes, Auntie,”
“Sama-sama, let's go in first,”
“No need, Aunt. I want to go straight home, so that no nights really get home,”
“Oh that, yes be careful. Greetings to your mama, thank you for taking care of Shelina,”
“Iya later I'll takein to mama. I'll go home first, Auntie,”
Argantara kissed Shefia's hand for a farewell. He had handed Shelina over to her mother in good condition.
Argantara also said goodbye to Shelina who is willing to be her go-to friend tonight to attend Diana's birthday event. Argantara is very happy tonight. It felt closer to Shelina.
“Be careful, Ga. Thanks yes,”
“Iya, you take a break, okay?”
Shelina nodded her head while smiling. Argantara did not forget to tell him to rest. Even though without being told, Shelina would definitely go to sleep because honestly she had started to feel drowsiness when she was still on her way home.
After Argantara's car was not seen again, Shelina and her mother entered the house. Shefia didn't let her son into the room just yet.
“Where was the show?”
“Currently, Ma. I got a new friend,”
“Some of you know?”
“There is, Ma. But just a little, all I know. That's Argantara's friends mostly. But fun all,”
“So coming out tonight is not regretful ‘kan? Almost only you do not want to go, even in bed because lazy out,”
“No regrets, Ma,” replied Shelina while chuckling to show her neat and clean teeth.
“That's what you hold? At the birthday event Diana got candy?”
“This candy from Arga. So just now, fitting Arga into the bathroom I was curious about one of the drinks there. Keep trying, Ma. Uh it was not good, fortunately only a few that I tasted. And said Arga, it was alcohol, so Arga gave me candy because my mouth still there are remnants of the bad taste of the drink,”
“Hah? Goddammit, Shel! You can drink that way,”
Shelina directly scratched her non-itchy head. Beautiful immediately looks shocked, until his eyes widen. Shefia must have been unexpected. Equally, Shelina herself did not expect her hand to reach for the drink either.
“Sorry, Mom. I didn't know the drink so I drank it, because I wanted to try it. It was alcohol, Arga said. But I'm not drunk, Ma. I just drank a little really, really cool, thankfully just a little yes. So there's no effect on my body hopefully. But it's not good in my mouth with my esophagus, it's weird,”
“Yeah, fortunately just a little,”
“Iya, Arga was very worried I was drunk, Ma,” said Shelina told how Argantara's reaction was when he had gulped a little alcoholic drink.
“Yes that is, he brought people's children home with a drunk state yes must be worried, must be afraid also he made mama disappointed,”
“So I was told to eat candy. It's all the same to him, I've refused, uh even forced. So yes I accept. Thank God the sustenance of a good boy, a beautiful child, a queen's kayak,”
“Lah, tumben pede, usually also do not feel beautiful,”
“Kata Arga can't be insecure, Ma,”
Shefia laughed at the blushed face of Shelina who had just confidently judged herself beautiful, kind, but usually the most reluctant to praise herself, who was also not confident continuing.
“Good Arga said that, so let you change. You are very difficult to be told to be confident, as if there is no advantage in the slightest. But tumben talking queen, you want to be queen?”
Shelina folded her lips inward. He accidentally spoke like that because Argantara also discussed about her who was interrogated could be the second queen Argantara in addition to the mother.
“Ngak, Mom. Misheard by mama,”
“Ah, lest other than Argantara you can not insecure, Argantara also change his call to you huh? You called queen the same her?”
“Ih mama how can you think there? My name is ‘kan Shelina why Arga call me Queen?”
“Yeah, he's started fighting,”
“Ngak, Mom. She said hopefully I can be the second queen,”
Shefia laughed at her son's innocence when telling stories. It seemed timid now to smoothly tell what Argantara said.
“So Arga said that? Whose first queen? Oh, your mom?”
“Yes, mom is right,”
“Good, you were made second. Because whenever the queen of the boy was his mother. Don't be mad if he says that,”
“Not angry, Ma. Precisely I am happy because I did not become the first, I do not want to be in the position of a woman who has played a big role in life Arga,”
“It looks like your chat has gone further, so how about?”
“Which way, Ma?”
“Ya..how? Is there a conversation going that way? The marriage? Is he really sure? No more rejecting that time? Hmm?”
“Ngak, Mom. But later, out of pass deh,”
“But the Arga mama saw the bolder yes, want a step ahead look,”
“Iya, Mother. I sleep, I want to sleep, Ma. I'll go to my room, Ma,”
Shefia nodded her head. He immediately told his son to hurry to the rest room. Looking from her heavy eyes, Shefia knew her son was sleepy. That's why he ended their conversation.
Shelina immediately cleaned her body for a while, then put on a nightgown. He wants to charge the phone battery so that tomorrow morning it is taken to campus with full power. After He connected it to electricity, the incoming power coincided with the incoming call from Argantara.
“Assalamualaikum, why, Ga?”
“Waalaikumsalam, it's okay, want mastiin only you've slept or not,”
“You've reached home huh?”
“Udah dong, so udha can phone you. How come you haven't slept?”
“This again want to sleep, just charge the phone keep suddenly you phone,”
“Oh okay, good night yes, you have morning lecture tomorrow?”
“Iya no, Ga,”
“I picked up ya,”
“You're in the morning lecture too?”
“No, ten o'clock just exists. I just want to be with you,”
“No, I'm seven and you're ten. Later you later on campus,”
“Lho, why? No problem dong, even I am very diligent later spelled out the same lecturer,”
Shelina even did not feel good if Argantara to pick her up here then they together to campus. He happened to have a morning lecture at exactly seven, while Argantara at ten. The man will wait for his class to start for about three hours.
“No need, I go alone. Don't pick you up, Ga,”
“Kok is that anyway? Don't want to be with me,”
“Not that, Arga. You should be able to leave at seven o'clock at home, then you even want to anterin me to campus? Which is really you. You know, the wait is less than three hours,”
“Nothing, Shel. I'm the one who wants to. I want it together,”
“Yes is up to you. Now I want to rest. Yes, yes,”
Argantara silently smiled as Shelina did not refuse anymore. He will set an alarm so that tomorrow he can get up early so it is not too late to pick up Shelina at his house and then deliver Shelina to campus.
“Night, Queen Kia cie Queen hahahaha,”
