Hope Is You's
Twenty Nine's
"I'm not sure I can re-grow hope in my heart. Yesterday was too painful for me, making me assume that hope is wishful thinking, that imagination and imagination are not real."
"But I, I'm the one who's gonna make that wish not just wishful thinking."Faiz said confidently and then touched Atika's chin again and made her turn to look at him directly.
"Every human being has a past, bitter, sweet, sour, that's life. Someone will take the class after the exam as well as life. For that, allow me to heal and even make you forget if you ever felt the pain" A drop of clear hair escaped from the eye of Atika who continued to look at Faiz's eyes.
"Well, how is it crying?" Faiz cupped Atika's cheeks with both palms and rubbed the girl's cheeks that were back wet with tears.
"But I'm afraid, I'm just making you runaway." Faiz smiled obliquely hearing it.
"Nothing, so I'm a runaway and I'm gonna make you can't run away from me." still cupping Atika's cheek, Faiz looked into her eyes and went down to the lips 'hold Faiz hold, hold on, he will run away and away if you are as aggressive as that' he sat up while getting rid of his dirty thoughts when he saw the lips ranum girl in front of him, he normal young man would certainly be tempted just by looking at the red lips of a girl let alone just the two of them who were in one room.
"You want to give me a chance?" Faiz asked again and Atika again first decided the view because she could not regulate her heart rate.
"May you give me time?" Atika asked softly, Faiz frowned and exhaled.
"You want to avoid it again?" Faiz's gaze became jaded at Atika's question.
"Nh.ngak. We met as usual, just I can't give you an answer right now." Faiz who heard it could only exhale heavily.
"Judek. How good are you." Atika looked at Faiz and was greeted with a smile by Faiz that made Atika also smile.
"You going home now?" Atika replied with a nod and still with a smile.

Today Atika entered the day shift work, he glanced at the clock on the wall whose short hand had pointed at the number 1, he just wanted to drop the goods one hour when his phone vibrated once the message sign entered.
He grabbed a thin object lying on the nightstand next to his bed and opened the green chat notification. Some of the messages were unread and mostly from group stores and work reports, and he was more interested in opening the top-line chat from Faiz.
Faiz:
Assalamualaikum says. Entering what shift?
Atic:
Waalaikumsal. Entar enter the afternoon.
Faiz:
Had lunch?
Atika thought for a moment, 'gue hasn't had lunch yet? Last abis breakfast, help mom beberes trus bath and the continuity of watching recommended drakor from Alana. Yes belom maksi me, pantesan stomach has deflated aja.' he dialogue alone while patting the eel and only realized that the second message from Faiz has entered again.
Faiz:
Want to let me have lunch?
He went back to thinking, 'there is no harm in accepting his invitation to tick. Yuk cuss!' While nodding he typed a reply.
Atic:
Be able. Meet where?
Faiz:
I'm in front of your house.
Whattt?? Instantly Atika woke up from the fall and then walked quickly to the window of the room that could display the state of the front fence of the house, and right there was already parked silver car.
He came out of the room and half ran down the stairs and came out to meet Faiz.
Tokk
Atika knocked on the car glass from the direction of the steering wheel that was visible from outside Faiz was busy with his phone and immediately opened the door as soon as he heard a knock from the glass beside him.
"You're leaving right away?" Instead of replying to Faiz, he was directly to the point.
"Wouldn't you change your clothes? Abis we eat, we go back and I'll take you directly to the store." Atika Mangut-mangut then invited Faiz to wait for him inside the house.
15min later Atika came down with her uniform wrapped in a plum color hoodie sweater and her black sling bag.
"Yeah!" Invite him to Faiz who sits on the porch seat, he chose not to sit inside so that Atika's father and mother are not home because they are attending the family gathering at the aunt Evi-sister's house from the mother, and Alana's not home from school. He did not want the neighbors to think that no-no if anyone saw Atika bringing men into the house when the house was empty.
Faiz smiled as he looked at Atika who was ready with her black hair pigtailed
"What do you want to eat?" Faiz asked as they sat in the car that drove slowly out of the gate of the complex.
"Emh. Coto plus ketupat it looks good." Faiz nodded in agreement.
They arrived at the Makassar coto stalls Faiz subscriptions, then ordered the filling according to their respective tastes. Faiz who chooses meat-lung and Atika orders meat-tok (meat only).
No more than 5 minutes their order was delivered complete with sweet iced tea. They dined silently, occasionally Faiz offered additional ketupat on Atika. After eating, Faiz paid for their order and left the shop.
"Where else are we going?" Atika asked who saw Faiz focus on the road.
"I want to stop by the R046 store first, then?" *R046: a kind of store code for each minimarket branch*
Atika nodded in response. 10 minutes later they arrived at the shop Faiz meant. After parking the car, Faiz got out of the car and walked into the minimarket doing what he had to finish quickly because Atika was waiting in the car. Actually the girl had been offered by Faiz to come down but Atika still wanted to be in the car just waiting for her.
From inside the car Atika can see Faiz who looks to be leading a briefing as the man usually does once a week in the shop where he works, seen his face look seriously explain or listen to his subordinates, he said, until the briefing was over the man was seen following a female shop official like himself to a computer, their distance was too close and Atika could see the woman smiling sweetly at Faiz and being replied with a warm smile by the man made Atika's blood flow quickly to the crown, he immediately threw away another look.
Not long after, Faiz came out and the woman followed Faiz to the door and smiled and waved. 'Correct, what the fuck is like a little boy with his father who went to work' his mind is throbbing.
"Sorry old." Faiz sat behind the wheel and smiled looking at Atika who was trying to put up a flat nose.
Faiz honked once as the woman was still standing at the door waiting for their departure.
"I thought you were a flat, cold and stingy smile. He could smile at just any girl." Atika with a strange tone of speech according to Faiz who had frowned.
"Who?"
"Who else? You're the same girl."
"Oohh. Devi?"
"Oooohhhh. Her name is Devi." Atika said 'o' long enough to make Faiz try to hold back his smile.
"Why? Can't you?"
"Not anything, I can do it anyway." Atika emphasized the word 'banget' making Faiz again try to resist the smile.
"Why are you?"
"Why what? I'm fine."
"You jealous?"
"I am the one who has the right to be jealous." This time Faiz smiled obliquely at the rebuttal of the girl beside him.
"Eat him, don't hang me too long. What lies behind you is a lot, be careful to be stabbed. Especially now that there's been the term stabbed in the third of the night."
"Followed? Why do it too!" Atika who still put her face bent continues to look towards the window beside her.
"You don't want to, because you're on vvip!" Faiz said it with a smile with eyes focused on the road ahead while Atika only delicates hearing Faiz's spare change but is able to make her cheeks heat up and her blood flow warms.
