IF YOU ARE A FOOL

First Date

Rahardian Putra Admaja

That name unceasingly filled my head.

If remembering the initials of the name alone had made me reluctant to die half, now remembering the name makes me happy half dead.

How could?

Apparently Allah made this hatred part of the affection that arises from a small heart.

More precisely, I hate the distance that makes Dian blind so do stupid things. Until in the end I have to bear the consequences of his stupidity.

And now, I'm the one who was made a fool by Dian by always hearing his words.

I may even go crazy for always smiling to myself if I remember all the trips between me and him. It was unimaginable that we would eventually be together and it happened so soon.

After a few months of trying to acknowledge her feelings and have a good relationship with Dian, only this time we will be dating. It must be accompanied by adek and also Melan.

Yase, rather than nothing. Thought me.

Isya Melan is waiting at home. Waiting for the prince to arrive.

Unfortunately, the prince did not have a car. It was a ride 🤣

Well, we'll go use my car.

After Dian came, he said goodbye to Mom. Because papa's been with a co-worker's guest since this afternoon. Get out of the workspace just for prayer.

"here I drive. The bride-to-be will sit sweet" Melan said.

"eh, let me do it, Mel. I also have a SIM" interrupted.

"let the guy drive" and Dian snatched the key in my hand.

I entered in the middle. While the same adek Melan is still noisily scrambling for what. Obviously Dian was already sitting on the steering wheel.

"do you want to do that? left behind" Dian's warning stops their dispute.

Not getting there, in the car apparently the dispute still continues.

"i also already have a SIM know deck" said Melan did not accept.

"you're the stricken? " this time Melan's speech made a stir.

"just fine, no, brother.

At most brother Kayra tuh who bribed" said adek while staring at me.

"uh. Where there are" I replied briefly.

"in the end, you can also have a SIM directly. If you have studied for a long time. Age is in control. So once I was 17, I immediately asked to make SIM equally papa" confided adek.

"yes-yes, who has been able to drive from a long time. I have a SIM too. Unfortunately, the car is not there yet" I played down the sound when saying the last sentence.

"sister soon. Yesterday I proposed, so eye dateng" not adek name if not always win.

Dian glanced back several times. Maybe a little surprised, it was not as compact as when outside. For him this was the first time he witnessed the interaction between me and the grandkids.

Unlike Melan, he just sits back and relaxes.

"kalo kak Melan, when do you ask to buy Mel's car? " question changes the subject. Feeling victorious from me, now looking for new prey.

"don't wait to buy a car also every day SIM already kepake deck" Melan replied casually.

"meaning? " tanya back adek.

"kakake, people every day become Ega's personal driver"

"the risk of being a sister" Dian said quickly.

"iwh, so sensi brother anyway" Melan said protesting her brother.

"patience to Dian. We are the same, I also never noticed the same brother Kayra" somehow courage from where adek directly talk just like that. Because it is no longer a secret if there is no harmony between Dian and her brother.

From behind the steering wheel I rubbed Dian's shoulder gently.

I know enough of the desire he has for a brother. He told me a few times about his brother.

"Mel, don't get in the habit of saying I'm a potential replacement" I tried to shift the conversation.

"the bride-to-be yells the bride-to-be" he muttered.

"but it's different." Melan's sentence hangs.

"don't change the paper" I think I know where Melan's unresolved sentence is going.

"finally, your brother. Coming just to go" Melan's voice turned mellow.

"happily, brother went to scavenge fortune" said I disguise the sound as if to be sister Gilang.

"what the hell is Kay" Melan snorted.

"why not ask for marriage. I can go there" I said casually. Give me an impossible idea, if it happens to me.

"ngawur you!

What if we marry together, right now" challenge Melan.

"ok ok. I-i know. That's not possible.

Be patient donkk, don't be a father. Not good for heart and heart health"

"eat it, don't like show-off friendly donk"

"astagfirullah Melan... friendly from where?

Since when do I love making out?

Let alone to make out, talk carefully also only a few months"

"sir" protest adek.

"curhat... " Dian chiming.

Then the mood became quiet. Reminding Melan so that it is not easy to baper, it is precisely I myself who became a baper considering how bad the relationship between me and Dian used to be. It feels ungainly. Wanting to touch a human being vents all tastes. Really nano-nano!

Arrive at the designated cafe.

Apparently Dian had already ordered the table first. There was even a flower bucket there. This time all pink roses.

We occupy the private room, which is on the top floor. Dian pulled the bench and let me sit down. Next to our table is another table for adek and Melan. Separate but close.

"assshhh, so mosquito repellent. Bummer. Come down come on, brother. Instead of making sister Mel baper" adek nagging.

"but later..... "

"it's just a morning. They know enough about what is called sin. And sin in its own responsibility" is not his name if it does not speak of ceplos.

Then they both walked down the stairs, without saying goodbye.

As for me, maybe I've forgotten about going to this place with someone else again.

This flowery heart has diverted my world. All that was seen before his eyes was Dian who was there.

It was like getting a durian crumble. Her happiness is not over yet. Dian's surprise is still flowing. Will there be any surprises tonight?

I kissed the flower bucket deep. Until the distinctive fragrance of the rose penetrates the esophagus. After smelling the scent, I put the flower bucket back next to my table. Because in the middle of the table is filled with two drinks. There is also a box of cake there.

It shouldn't be necessary, I didn't expect that either. My happiness is enough with you to pledge our relationship. And get blessing from parents.

"not all the rice tumpeng? " ask me for pleasantries.

"there are. Just waiting" replied Dian casually.

Huh, what??????

Seriously?

Who wants to eat all this?

Even if I like to eat, that's bad. If again happy this way, it feels full continue 😆

"want to blow out the candles?

Agh, don't do it. Like a child" he asked himself who answered.

I just smiled, it felt so hard to hold back a smile.

"in the chop yok, while waiting for food orders to come" asked Dian.

Before I do that, I take out my phone first. I take a picture of a cake so beautiful. Black Forest is layered brown with a pink brown decoration accompanied by live flowers as its decoration.

"want to take a photo of the cake? " maybe a little tacky that question. But I didn't refuse.

"you are also yok" I said.

Finally, Dian changed her seat. Shift next to me.

After taking pictures I started cutting the cake.

"want me a bribe" I began to move the piece of cake onto a small plate.

"can. But change yes" suggested Dian, do not want to lose.

We finished one piece of cake together.

Just sipped a little drink, the food has come.

Just like Dian said. There was a mini tumpeng that came along. We didn't order that.

It was definitely Dian himself who prepared before.

I looked at Dian closely. Trying to observe the aura emanating on his face.

For the first time and only the first step, I had already gotten this much surprise from him.

Is this all her way to show her happiness?

By indulging and making me float as high as possible.

May it never fall again, for it will be painful.

"hay, why pay attention to me rich so anyway" Dian stopped my dialogue in my heart.

"why do you have to do all this Dian? " i asked in a slightly sad tone.

"hay, why. You don't like it? Did I make a mistake? Am I hurting you again? " ask Dian was very worried.

"i'm happy. Very happy. Her happy ranking, I can't express in words"

I heard Dian's breath of relief.

"i guess why that was.

Thank goodness you are happy. I promise, after this I'll make you forget all the sadness that used to be"

"Dians...... "

"khemm.yeah"

"this isn't all a dream, is it? This isn't drama? This isn't a charade?

This isn't one of the ways to avenge your old self? "

"Kayra, how can you still think that way about me.

It's real, very consciously I planned it all. Just for you"

I can't speak anymore. Unknowingly my tears were dripping.

"weep even sobbing" Dian touched my lower eyelid.

The more I sobbed, I covered my mouth with my hands.

"i. I'm happy Dian. Thanks for everything"

Dian pulled me into her arms for a moment.

"don't cry anymore. Seyum, I'd rather see it"

I looked down to clean the remaining tears that still felt wet on the cheeks.

"can you borrow your hand for a second? "

Especially this? ask me in my heart.

Dian opened the jewelry box.

"i made a necklace. But it won't be known to anyone else, if you're mine. So I turned it into a bracelet" Dian said as she placed the bracelet on my wrist.

A chain bracelet with the inscription in the middle of "K&D"

Dian expressed her happy feelings. I want everyone to know that I belong to him now.

How about when I get back to the pesantren?

If these rings and bracelets remained embedded, there would definitely be many questions. But if I let go, Dian would be disappointed.

What about ustadz Billal?

Even if I reject his good intentions, but that does not mean I destroy his feelings.

Sooner or later, it will happen. I want to be there whenever I hide it.

Sorry, sorry and sorry. Maybe that's all I can say later.

"can't cry anymore. I just want to see your smile. Anyway I'll replace the old tears with a smile"

Then I smiled at Dian's smile.

Dian took her cell phone. Back to taking some photos. Then we took a picture of the two of us with me holding the rose bucket earlier.

Just about to start eating, the boisterous sounds of some people walking up the stairs.

Isn't this place already in a special message huh? Why is there still someone entering?

I'm not done yet I wonder in my heart. The noise of 3M and adek electrify the entire room.

Jeez..... Surprise again, surprise again?!
