I want to Find Him

EPISODE 15

I was silent for a while. Trying to digest the question Rain had just asked. Why did he suddenly ask my outgoing friend last night? I looked into Rain's eyes which looked serious. It could be read from her gaze that she could not wait for an answer from me.

"Sister Fatha. My private chemistry teacher." Answer me casually while turning my eyes. Rain looks keget. He also screamed.

"Yes! You can walk together with a guy at night. If he's anything you how? If he's evil, how are you? What if he's a psychopath? You could die, Han!"

I also chuckled. "Ha ha ha.. You're overreacting, Rain. Sister Fatha her man is not like you thought he was. He's kind and polite." Jel explained. "Again I also often go out the night with guys," said I teasing him.

"Who?"

"Your same." Rain snorted as he looked away. He turned back to me after a while.

"Eh, but I'm a good guy, you know. And it can't hurt you. Lah, if that guy.. What's name?" He's trying to remember something. "Fatha," I said. "Yes, that Fatha guy, we don't know who he is yet. If he's bad at you and keeps running away. Don't you know where to go?"

"Once again, if you are the one who wronged me, where should I ask you? To Thailand?" I made my remarks clear on the word THAILAND.

"Yes.. It could be."

"Yes, already. You're just persecuting me now. Then you go back to Thailand. I'll go to Thailand to sue you and also while going for a walk."

"Indeed, still walking with a clean face?"

"Still, dong. I'm beautiful in all circumstances." I said bragging.

"Huu.. Fuck up!" Rain pressed the back of my head.

I also groan in pain. "It hurts to know!" He just grinned while looking at me who had an annoyed expression.

Suddenly a car entered my yard. Suddenly Rain and I turned to the sound of the car engine. I stood up when I saw that it was my father's car. And Rain followed me.

I approached my parents who had just got out of the car. She smiled while hugging my body. I smiled back too.

"Mother's child how are you? How's ngedate?" Ask Mother suddenly.

"Ah, Mother. Just came home directly like that anyway. I'm so embarrassed, nih," said I with a shy blush.

"Yes.. Mother is curious just the same way to date a child Mother." Mother said teasing me.

"Aaaahh.. Mother anything, anyway. I'm not dating Fatha. We're just a friend."

"What is temen?" Said the Mother who still teases me.

"Ah, it's up to Mommy, deh," I said in a sulking tone. Mother also laughed.

"Hany, I want to say something." Now I speak in a serious tone.

"What Dad?"

"Grandmother should be treated until her condition stabilizes. His hypertension was back up and he had a stroke next to his body" Dad explained.

"Granny's Love.." My spoken. "So you guys have to go again to take care of Grandma?" My toot.

"Yes, honey. Grandma must have someone to take care of. Aunty and Om you can't keep Grandma going, they have to work. And the one who is not busy is just Dad and Mother." Answer Mother.

"How long have you been there?"

"When to go home can not be ascertained. Because we don't know when your grandmother will be able to move. Grandma should also do all the treatment recommended by the doctor. And when we get home we still don't know." Dad Timpal.

"You can go to the hospital on school holidays. You're off next week, right?" Ask Mommy.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Tomorrow you can go there with Grandpa. Mother will say."

"OK, Mommy."

Mother and Father also left me and Rain who were still standing in the car while staring at the couple.

"Rain's in, yuk!" Take me. Rain also nodded. "Come on." We also followed Father and Mother who had entered the house.

"Where are we going rain?" I asked when I realized we had left Pekanbaru city.

"Something that I'm sure you've never been to" replied Rain.

"But where? It's a long way away." I said, looking out the window of the car.

"Yes.. Just a few minutes by car, it was said far away. How about to go to England, who's been on his plane for hours." Ejek Rain is focusing on the streets.

"Yes.. Even if for hours at least I know my purpose in England. Lah, if this, I don't know where I'll be taken, at all" I said. Rain just grinned. "Don't you want to kidnap me again. Keep bringing it to Thailand to make it TKW." I said with a sharp look towards Rain.

"Don't talk recklessly. Anyway you are accepted as TKW. The page isn't so bad."

"Belvin. Besides, I don't have to be a page sweeper if I'm in Thailand." I said with a sharp tone.

"But at home you have to be a yard sweeper.."

I just kept quiet not responding to Rain. I am so sorry for asking. We have always been this way. One topic will be a long discussion. And it'll be over if one of us gives up. I don't know why sometimes I feel so dreamy with Rain. When he was far away, I missed him. However, when she was with me I wanted to not be with her. If only he hadn't upset me, I would have loved to be with him.

I leaned my head against the car seat to make my body more comfortable. Then, I closed my eyes slowly and tried to enjoy the song played by Rain. Over time the music began to sound faint. Probably because of the volume reduced by Rain.

"Han, I like you. Please don't turn me down because I love you so much." I just stared silently at Brother Fatha's sincere face while holding both my hands. "I can't see you with anyone else. Because I really love you." His speech. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Ask Brother Fatha.

"But.."

"I know you have feelings for others. But, try your grades, I'm definitely better than him."

"But you two are important to me. And I can't choose between the two of you. I'm sorry, because I can't decide now. I don't want to hurt Brother and Rain."

"But.."

Brother Fatha's shadow faded. And Rain's voice rang out my name while shaking my shoulder. I woke up from a tense dream and found Rain's face very close to me. I also looked out the car window. Our car was parked between the cars. I looked back at Rain and asked, "Where are we?"

Rain just smiled and took me out.

The expanse of the lake was wide before my eyes. The sound of birds chirping could be heard from a wallet house standing in front of the parking lot. This place is great to make a place to relax.

Rain invited me to sit at one of the tables by the lake. After that, he left me to order some snacks for us to enjoy. I just enjoy the atmosphere around me. Wind gusts, views of the afternoon sky, and also people passing by, became an attraction for me to pay attention. This place is amazing.

Rain came with two drinks and some snacks. He also gave me a glass of cappucino mixed with ice. He is very familiar with my taste. I also thank Rain. Then, sip the drink while paying attention to a place across the lake.

"What's Rain there?" Point me at a place that looks like a garden.

Rain looked in the direction I was pointing. "Oh, that. It's park. It's usually a photo spot for people."

I also nodded. Then look the other way. I saw some duck boats floating in the middle of the lake. Each boat was boarded by two people, three people, even four people for those who brought their children. I'm interested in riding it. Looks like it looks exciting. I also tried to invite Rain to ride the vehicle. He agreed without comment.

We also got a duck boat after waiting long enough. Because there are so many tourists who are interested in riding it. Rain and I were paddling the ride at the same time. Rain was also in charge of arranging the direction of the departure of our boat. Several times we collided with another man's duck boat. And we just laugh with each other when it happens.

After a few minutes, we finished playing duck. Then, Rain took me down an island across the pier. To get to the island we had to pass a bridge that connected the pier with the island. The gentle breeze made my hijab flutter, which Rain said was great in photos. Rain took a picture of me with his phone. We even took the time to take selfies as the people around us did.

The sun was almost drowned. Adzan magrib has also reverberated. We decided to pray before going home. We also pray in a small museum in the tourist spot.

"Wanna see sunset?" Rain asked when we were outside the mosque. In my spirit I replied, "Come!" Rain held my hand and took me to a long chair by the lake.

'I'll let you go as long as your hand holds my hand as it is today'
