Githa's Love Story
Mas Handsome
The next morning Githa felt her head dizzy and her body shivering. Githa, who was about to get back up, pulled out the blanket and covered her entire body.
Before long his phone rang a short sign there was an incoming message. Githa slowly moved one hand to reach for her phone which was on the nightstand next to her bed.
"Good morning, Githa, menti.." ~ Ali's.
Githa smiled slightly and closed her eyes again with the phone still in her hand. He was unable to reply to Ali's message as his head grew heavier.
Every morning Ali never misses sending a message to Githa. Likewise with Githa, he always looks forward to a short message of good morning from Ali. Although there was no clear status between them, but they felt comfortable with each other. Actually Ali had put his heart on Githa, but he did not want to rush to reveal it. She also did not want to ask Githa to be her lover, because she wanted to make him a wife.
"Good morning also my handsome mas," muttered Githa softly and then she fell asleep again.

At 08:00 at Githa's house..
Geck.. Geck..
"Assalamu'alaykum.." said someone who came knocking on the door.
Grandma who just finished breakfast immediately drove grandfather to the room to rest and then moved towards the main door. How surprised grandma when she saw the guest who came in the morning was Dhika.
"Wa-wa'alaykumsalam," he answered.
"Son, D-dhika?" ask grandma again.
Dhika nodded and went straight into the house even though she was not welcome to enter. He hugged grandma spilling his longing feeling that he had long been craving for. Grandma also returned Dhika's embrace. It used to be only Dhika who wanted to play with Githa and Leela. Because of that Grandma loved him and already considered him like her own grandson.
"Grandmother apologizes for being selfish" said the grandmother lirih while taking off her embrace.
"It looks like your father and mother were so offended by what she said, that you guys moved house and made us lonely" he added, and began to put out clear circles in his eyes.
Dhika bowed her body slightly to line grandma's fingers and gently wiped off Grandma's tears with the back of her hand while smiling warmly.
For several years, Dhika had always seen grandma hiding from a distance because she was afraid she would get angry if she approached her. But my grandmother missed him a lot.
"Mother, father and mother decided to move house because in order to fulfill the request of grandmother because if not wrong grandmother who will move if we still stay," explained Dhika.
Grandma was crying even more after hearing Dhika's explanation. Grandma realized refusing Dhika's parents' help was a mistake.
"How's grandpa doing?" ask Dhika.
"Alhamdulillah grandpa has gone light, just granny inter-rest in the room. Now grandfather is very rarely talking, after having a stroke two years ago, grandfather is more silent" replied grandma.
After that the grandmother took Dhika to sit and they talked to her about the childhood of Dhika, Githa and Leela who used to always play together.

Geck.. Geck..
"Assalamu'alaykum nek" said a man standing in the doorway.
Dhika who felt familiar when she heard the voice immediately turned her body. He smiled sinisterly when he saw Ali coming to visit.
"Wa'alaykumsalam nak Ali" replied the grandmother.
"Come in here, son." added grandma again let in.
Ali came in and looked agitated. He rolled his gaze in all directions then his eyes stopped staring fixedly at the door of Githa's room.
The grandmother who saw Ali's attitude immediately understood and said, "Githa is still sleeping, maybe because last night you guys came home late so she is still sleepy. Wait a minute, grandma will wake up" explained grandma and then about to step into Githa's room.
"Thank you grandma, better let her sleep. I'm just worried because he doesn't usually return messages from me. That's why I came here to make sure," said Ali who made grandmother's steps stopped and returned to sit beside Dhika.
"She must have deliberately spoken so because she wanted to make me jealous. Hahaha unfortunately not working at all, cihh!!" inner Dhika was upset.
"Oh yes introduce this Dhika," said the grandmother.
"Dhika used to live in the front house there," explained the grandmother as she pointed at the house not far from her home. "She was like a granddaughter of her own grandmother, even her grandmother and her parents had intended to match her with Githa," added the grandmother again who suddenly made Dhika surprised but not with Ali who looks ordinary.
"Serius nek first Dhika and Githa want to be betrothed?" tanya Dhika enthusiastically.
"Yes Dhika.. But now it is no longer the age of fools. And there's also Nak Ali who's always with Githa. For grandma the most important is the happiness of Githa and grandma see Githa happy with nak Ali," said the grandmother at length.
"But grandma, Ali and Githa are just friends. Among them there is no special bond so it is better for grandma to continue our matchmaking, hehehe.." Dhika replied with a small laugh.
Grandma turned her gaze towards Ali after hearing Dhika's words just now. He looked into Ali's eyes as if asking for an explanation.
"What Dhika said. Right now Githa and I are just friends because I want to make her a wife instead of a boyfriend" Ali replied, which made her even more confident.
