I Want to Be Happy, too

Episode 2

♧ ♧ ♧ ♧ ♧

Arriving at the beach, Riki and I had time to take a photo together from his cell phone.Because incidentally, my phone is still old and outdated.

"Eh look, isn't that Rafi?" point her.

"Eh yes," I reply.

Rafi herself is a man who is close to me now.My relationship with her has been running for almost 8 months.Although it was briefly spelled out, too,but actually he and I have been close since we were one class from X class.

However, it was only a few months ago that she and I formalized our relationship.

"Where to meet him, it seems he was deliberately here to meet you." asked Riki.

I also approached him who was not far from where I and Riki were sitting.Rafi was still sitting on his motorcycle and did not let go of his gaze towards me.

"What do you mean?" suddenly he snapped at me.

"What are you talking about?" ask me back.

"I heard from Ulfa you are going to go to work to the city.Why didn't you tell me? Why should I know from Ulfa?"ask her.

"On that matter, I do intend later in the afternoon to visit your house." I reply.

"Naima's....."

"I know very well, life in the village will not change your life much.But, why should you go that far?"

"You know for yourself, how my family is doing.I want to help, even if it's not much.I hope you can understand,"

Rafi fell silent and shifted her eyes from before me.

"So, I want you to accompany me to register with the police school.I want you to encourage me directly," he said.

"Police?" ask me.

"You didn't yourself, who said that time.If you wish I'd taken the police test.But what? Now you're leaving me first." she explained.

I immediately grabbed her hand and stroked her gently.My heart actually felt heavy, to part with her as soon as this.I know, the attention and affection that Rafi has been giving me so sincere.

"I want to live up to your expectations, even though my father asked me to go to college." she continued.

"I know.." Give me back.

As far as I know indeed, his family all work as teachers.His father was a lecturer at one of the universities in my city.

I did not expect, my talk at that time.Making consideration for him to take a different path with his family.

To be honest, my mother once said that she felt bad and insecure because she knew that Rafi and I were dating,the condition of my family is all-starved.Reparated inversely with the condition of Rafi's family that can be said to be respected in my village.

Luckily, his family was very accepting of my presence.When he took me to his house, his mother and father welcomed me very well.

I also asked Riki to go home first, because Rafi invited me to go somewhere else to talk.

After Riki's departure, I went straight up on his bike.We both finally arrived at one of the attractions that are not so far from where I and Riki had been.

Once there, Rafi immediately invited me to sit on a stretch of grass that was fairly sloping and facing directly to the sea.

Me and Rafi were silent to each other and wrestled with our own minds.Until finally, Rafi grabbed my hand and stroked her.

"I will support your decision, no matter how you are."

"I want you to support me until I graduate from police school" he continued.

I immediately looked at him, his eyes were reddened holding back the crying that would soon spill.

Without a long delay, I hugged her and we cried in our arms.

Rafi also tried to comfort me by stroking my back gently, even with me.

"Yeah......."

"Even though I know, it won't be as easy as we imagine.One thing you should know, I'll keep you company even though, our sport is far apart.I'll always be there for you."

"Thank you,"

"Thank you for you, for understanding and understanding me.." I replied.

"I love you, Naima.I don't want to be selfish with my feelings alone.I also have to understand and understand your feelings."

"I know......"

"I know that,"

I let go of my hug and kissed him first.At first Rafi, seemed surprised by what I did.But, in the end she responded and we kissed long enough for the first time.

"I didn't expect, it turns out you were this brave" she said after we finished her kiss.

"I don't know either,"

"Suddenly, I have the courage to start first." I replied.

He smiled as he stroked my cheek gently.

"Thank you Naima" he said.

"We'd better take some photos now.I want to print them out and keep them in my room." she continued.

"Not me, at that time you have printed some photos of us.I'm ashamed, later your mother even laughed at him again."

"No, my mother will never mind it.Not knowing who you are in my life." she replied.

Rafi and I finally took some photos, using her mobile phone.The look of her face looks happy when she saw the results of the photos we took.

In the afternoon, Rafi also let me go home.I also invited her to stop by my house for a while.Although just to say hello to my parents.

"Let's go in.." take me.

He took off his shoes and kept them right next to his sandals.

"Sore sir.." said Rafi to the father who was sitting in the living room.

"Eh boy Rafi......"

"Here come in.." take me.

Rafi sat right in front of my dad,

"Son, get me a drink for Rafi.." pinta dad.

"Yes dad.." Give me back.

I also walked straight to the kitchen, turns out the mother was making fried bananas and some other fried foods.

"One time you come here, please bring the fried food in the tray to the front" said the mother.

"Yes mom....."

"But, I want to make some warm tea for Rafi first."

"Oh he's here too? Yes, thankfully mom this afternoon make some snacks." reply mom.

After making a drink for Rafi, I immediately brought a manpan full of fried foods that have been made by the mother.

When I went into the dining room, I could clearly see the familiarity of father and Rafi.Hell was busy snoring while watching TV.

I am very grateful, because Rafi did my parents like her own father.During this time, when she played home, her attention will immediately switch between father or mother.
