"Let's know who can" said Arielle flat while eating her potato chips.
"Of course I can"Efendi smiled confidently.
I choked on potato chips because of Efendi's words. Then I picked up the drink on the table.
"It's very self-confidence"
"Of course I can, I love you so much and I won't just give up"
I who heard Efendi's words was a little ashamed. I don't know if he was serious or didn't say it but it worked to make me a little misbehaved.
"A. I want to know what you're going to do later" I threw my face aside while continuing to eat the chips that had been delayed.
"Don't forget we compete fairly Efendi" Fauzi folded his hands around his stomach while staring at Efendi dislike.
"So you two like Arielle?"farhan asked between the two of them.
"Of course!"answer them both with An.
Farhan furrowed both eyebrows he still did not believe it turned out Arielle with a careless nature, not easy to get along with it attracted the hearts of men.
Farhan looked at Fauzi, he used to be very cute like Arielle who now and his feelings were not easy to guess it turned out to like Arielle too.
"Fauzi since when do you like Arielle?"ask Farhan again.
"When I was in school at SMK" he said with a smile.
"Be.really?it means that you let Arielle go"
"Yes if Arielle is happy I will not hesitate to let go even with others" he replied firmly with a smile, but behind his smile there was a deep sadness.
"Ha..hadn't discussed this continuously" I said.
The potato chips I ate were gone, and I threw the crisps in the trash that I had prepared.
I went up from the bench to enter the house, but before I entered the house Efendi stopped my steps.
"Where is Arielle going?"
"Main game" I answered briefly and immediately continued my delayed footsteps.
"I'm coming, wait for me Arielle" Salsa also moved from her seat and followed Arielle inside.
So did Efendi and Fauzi, they ran after Arielle into the house.
"I have to admit Arielle's skill at playing games is really like a pro player" Dermawan said when Farhan was silent.
"He hasn't played a game since he was a child, because I was told by my father Arielle was so smart he just focused on his lessons there was no time to play the game."
"Well it's great, he plays only on his intelligence. I so wanted to be by one with her again"Grandma smiled and moved from her seat to catch up with Arielle inside.
"Wait for me!"
They all ended up playing the game until the afternoon came.
Generosity stretched his waist because he felt tired, only this time he was defeated by a woman in the field of games.
"I'm ashamed I can't beat you Arielle, I'm a gaming Youtober can't beat a woman who's even just playing a game" The benefactor sighed and smiled as he stroked Arielle's head.
I shook off the hand of the Benefactor, then closed the chest.
"Winning to lose makes no difference to me" I said with a face like always, without flat.
"Haha Arielle you are great, yes even though winning a loss is a common thing still you are the first person who can beat me when by one"
"Thank you for praising me"
"Arielle don't you want to drive us to the front of the alley?"efendi did not take off her embrace on Arielle's shoulder.
I who was in the embrace of Efendi somehow had no intention of releasing his hand from my shoulder.
"Okay, I'll take you all" I smiled.
Efendi took off his embrace and held Arielle's hand in front of everyone.
"He.hey what are you doing" I'm ashamed of Efendi's reckless actions, what more do my friends' eyes see.
'Why is my chest beating like this, I can't possibly fall in love with her right?!' I wondered to myself in my heart.
"Le..let go!"I pulled my hand out of Efendi's.
I passed out leaving my friends who were still silent to see the incident earlier, it was clear that I was acting like someone who was embarrassed. And this is the first time I've felt this feeling again after all this time, but I can't just admit it.
Efendi chased after Arielle who was walking quickly outside, and pulled her wrist after Arielle stopped she let go.
"A..Arielle a. I'm sorry I unconsciously held your hand" Efendi's face blushed in embarrassment as she recalled the matter.
I also felt a little embarrassed when I re-imagined it, then I tried to neutralize my nervousness when I wanted to talk to Efendi. I also tried to have a flat expression again and turned to look at Efendi.
"Yes don't repeat it again" I said flatly.
"Dad, but honestly there was a feeling of happiness when I held your hand" Elfendi smiled as usual.
My chest skipped a beat again as Efendi said those words.
"Have it" I turned my eyes to the side, I didn't want my face that was already blushed in shame to be caught by him.
It just so happened that my friends were also following me out.
"Arielle what are you doing?"fauzi asked to see Arielle not like she usually threw her face to the side when she was with Efendi.
I looked at my friends and smiled.
"Not looking at the streets" I replied.
"Is there something on the street?"ask Fauzi again.
"Nothing, let's walk"
I walked leisurely to the front of the alley to drop off my friends, they all followed me from behind.
"Hey, you'll all go to my father's party tonight, where you'll be attended by beautiful women and handsome men you won't regret coming to my father's party, I'll tell my father to invite you all"
"What do you mean by dance?"my many.
"Well there's a dance, a tea party, and there'll be a gift-sharing for 5 lucky people" Salsa explained the purpose of the party made by her father.
"Wah seems interesting" said Efendi interested in the party held by Salsa's father.
"Well then come, must be exciting" Salsa said again.
"The free-roaring, right?"my many.
"Dad is free, you guys wear tuxedos to look good." said Salsa again while glancing at Efendi and imagining for the first time seeing Efendi wearing a tuxedo.
The shadow of Efendi in the mind of Salsa:
A handsome man wearing glasses and carrying a fresh Rose, looks like a magician but that's what comes to Salsa's head.
