JODOH: First Love

chapter 4 the beginning of love without words

After arriving at the destination stop Raya got off the city bus, followed by Rashid who also came down. Rashid should have come down at the next stop instead of at this stop. Rashid always stops at the same stop as Raya and walks with Raya until in front of Raya's house. Only after making sure Raya entered the house safely, Rashid would go home, without much storytelling or words.

while Raya walked while daydreaming, she still thought about the words of Hani, who said that Rashid liked her.it was like not getting in her brain. they have been friends for almost six years but there are no special signs that show Rashid likes him, Rashid is good to anyone including himself. Even if Rashid likes it, he should have been able to feel it long ago, right?. Or at least Rashid will be angry or jealous when Gunawan blatantly shot Raya in front of their one-man children in the sports hall first.

because of the cool daydreaming Raya did not pay attention to the road in front of him that was hollow, so he almost fell. But fortunately it did not happen because Rashid swiftly pulled Raya next to him without a word. Just smile, then walk back by holding the hand of Raya next to him.

Raya who was shocked because it was pulled and did not know if there was a hollow road was dumbfounded and looked back, paying attention to the road that was hollow and had been installed markers. Raya looked at Rashid, then smiled. This made him fall in love with Rashid, the wordless attention that Rashid had always given him from the very beginning they met. However, Rashid is always kind to anyone who needs his help.so, Raya doubts that Rashid likes him too.

" Tomorrow's id when you're going to wear what clothes?" tanya Raya while kicking the gravel stone in front of her.

" Why?" instead of answering Raya's question, Rashid asked again.

" nothing, nanya ja." replied Raya. Rashid was too cold, talking as necessary when with him. But there will be a lot of words when in public places, especially when issuing income when arguing or when on the podium to convey Rashid's speech will be a magnet for students to see it.

after that the atmosphere returned to the silent terrace between the two of them, even though many vehicles passed by, but Raya and Rashid just walked while continuing to see the sidewalk in front.

" Well, do you wear the same clothes when you farewell tomorrow?" ask Rashid suddenly.

" huh?" It's not wrong to listen.

Rashid then opened the backpack that was carrying and took out the plastic from it and handed it to Raya.

" this is what?" tanya Raya is confused.

" it will be open at home" explained Rashid.

" not a bomb, right?" gurau Raya while carrying the plastic that he gave Rashid.

Rashid just smiled and shook his head to hear the words of Raya that were sometimes unclear.

" who knows Rasyid ketengusangan resteknya Gunawan" said Raya while giggling.

" no Ay". answered Rashid as necessary.

they had already arrived in front of the Kingdom house, all of a sudden. " Id later if you go to college abroad still want me not?" tanya Raya while opening the gate of her house which is a little difficult.

" how is that Ay?" Rashid asked back, and took the key to the gate used by the Kingdom, petrifying the Kingdom to open the gate.

" yes, Id will not go home for a long time will not contact Raya if there, keep a lot of friends too, keep Id forget the same Ay." replied Raya while puffing her cheeks. then push the gate and enter one step into the gate of his house. Now Raya and Rashid separated the gate of the Kingdom house which was only as high as their chest.

" continue later we can not communicate, then later Ay can not see the old Rashid" bela Raya.

Rashid sighed for a moment "there is skype Ay" Rashid explained to calm Raya.

" Ay can't wear it" replied Raya soberly.

" then Id ajarin ya." replied Rashid again.

" but the quota is expensive Id." replied Raya who has not sincerely Rashid go far.

" later Id ajarin Raya to hack Wifi next door neighbor yes." joked Rasyid.

" okay" said Raya laughing at Rashid's joke, while making an okay sign with her hand.

" yes you have entered Ay," asked Rashid with a smile.

after that Raya waved to Rashid and passed into his house, while Rashid smiled at the girl, then left there after Raya completely lost her sight behind the door of the house.

After bathing and changing use Raya saw the plastic given by Rashid earlier, took out the contents which turned out to be a beautiful kebaya that was perfect for separation. Raya took out the kebaya and put it on the bed and looked at the model of the kebaya, and thought like she had seen it, but she forgot where she had seen this kebaya.

After thinking for a moment Raya remembered the magazine that Maya had given to see the beautiful kebaya models for their separation one month ago. This is a model that Raya liked at that time, Rashid was there when Raya said he liked the kebaya. However, this kebaya must be purchased with a pair. then out of curiosity Raya tried to find a magazine that was stored one month ago.

Raya forgot to put the magazine where it seemed like on the desk her study was tucked between the textbooks.but, after the magazine bobgkar it could not be included. after thinking for a moment, Raya remembered that the magazine was borrowed by Rashid who said he wanted to see a good model of men's clothes for him one week ago, and after that Raya put the magazine in the closet drawer.

Raya rushed to look for the magazine and opened every page that was there to match the kebaya in front of her. when Raya had begun to despair and tired finally the picture of the shirt was seen. there is also written the name 'Raya' under the picture of clothes that Raya really wants.

Raya used to think that Rashid also liked it because of small things like this. Rashid always knew what Raya wanted without Raya having to say anything or ask him. Rashid always attention to the little things about Raya, but sometimes Raya herself does not know it happens to her, for example, just loose shoelaces, and sometimes Raya herself does not know it, Rashid will know in advance on the appeal of Raya who is wearing it.

Rashid will swiftly find something that Raya needs without asking much questions, such as when Rashid suddenly brought ice cubes to compress the lebab on the cheek of Raya.

Rasyid's wordless little attention always made Raya fall in love with him. Raya is like special without having Rashid adore her. It all made the Kingdom flower and harbored the taste because Rashid was always silent without a word while doing all his attention.

sometimes love grows only because of a little wordless attention, which breaks the heart so gently.
