Love Ardan

Ardan

Love can come anytime and anywhere, sometimes without us knowing we have fallen into it.

I ride my bike fast no matter what other vehicles are around. My life feels empty, yesterday I just broke up with Sinta, I rarely reply to texts because I was busy. We also rarely met, after my relationship with Nia ended, wrong after my chance to get close to Nia ended, I felt my life was empty, there was no spirit at all, she said, several times we cross paths my heart always shakes wanting to greet him and invite him to talk. I feel sorry to see it for myself, but I've been seeing Nia with a veiled girl like she's a first-year kid, I know she's been talking to each other a few times for a while, but I forgot his name, I'm not interested in it anyway just kasian because he's in bully and has no friends. Maybe for a long time Sinta was also fed up with my behavior he asked to break up, of course I accepted it because I had no reason to defend it.

I think I haven't talked to Nia in a month, I want to get close to her but afraid that if her relationship with her boyfriend is okay I'm curious.

It was a hot Saturday, finished lunch from the cafeteria I was back in class, I was lazy to chat with the other kids, but in the hallway the gym teacher called me, He asked me to drop off a cardboard box with data that was not important to put in the warehouse upstairs. I did it because there was no work either.

I opened the shed on the roof of this school building the door was unlocked, and then I went in and closed it, and blamed the light for lighting, the warehouse is so dirty I also put this cardboard in the corner and along with a pile of used books.

"Let's!" I screamed in shock because someone was hiding under the table "Eh, who are you ?" I asked while looking at her carefully, she's the veiled girl, why is she here.

he looked at me and came out of hiding and stood up "Eh brother Ardan why here ?" tanyanya.

"I told Mr. Amin to put a used book here, what are you doing here ? your clothes are all dirty". I reflexively cleaned the dirt on his shirt like when I saw my sister playing dirty. "The warehouse must have not been cleaned for a long time, it's so dirty" I was busy with my work, not realizing that this girl was looking at me, "I'm sorry "my words stopped because I was aware of my disrespectful attitude.

"No papa, thank you for helping me clean it up" he replied, bowing his head.

"What are you doing here? the lights were not lit again, making me surprised" I asked to try to eliminate the awkwardness.

"Ohh I had lunch out there, then suddenly a lot of boys went up to the building, I also ran here to hide, like they were smoking outside, I was afraid that I might get caught so I didn't turn on the lights" she explained.

"You always eat here ? alone ?"

"Yes, usually sister Nia also come here, but because she has an appointment with the professor, so can't come and then I eat alone, usually the guys never come here really ,don't know why they're suddenly here"

"Other times don't come alone, your danger from here isn't afraid of being alone?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid of getting caught" he replied, I don't know what his expression was like, he never looked me in the eye.

"Let's get out, the doorbell will be in class !" I also walked forward to open the door. The girl followed me from behind. "Ehhh this way the door can not be opened, the cook is broken" I said as I continued to try to open the door.

"I don't know either, it's the first time I've been here".

"How come I don't bring hp! you brought ?" I asked while fingering my pocket hoping there's a phone there.

"I didn't bring it either"

I went around looking for a gap it might be possible to get out but there was no other door there was only a small window beside the door and it was high once I had to go up the stairs if I wanted to reach it. I was looking for the stairs but there was nothing if I cried no one would hear. Finally I gave up asking the girl to sit down and wait for people to come looking for us, after all, my bag is still in the classroom so if the class ends and the kids don't find me, they'll be looking for me. This girl just kept quiet following my instructions.

"Whose name are you ?" I try to break the silence.

"Mariam" he said briefly.

"This is very hot because the air ventilation is bad, you don't wear clothes like that must be very hot" I said pleasantries.

"By the way why do you have to cover your face like that ?" manya curious.

"Because I'm ashamed" he answered briefly, making me confused, I have to ask what else, I just smiled understandably.

We've been here for an hour, we've just been waiting, this girl's been quiet, she's really shy she's not trying to talk to me. I was angry how could I be stuck like a scene in a movie, especially with a cute foreign girl like this, if the same Nia is not papa, I smiled with my own mind, I said, stupid what I expected Nia would never come.

I finally couldn't stand it anymore I was looking for a way to get out, the girl stood up and saw what I was doing. I told him I would draw up a cardboard box with books, to serve as a ladder, and he understood and helped pick up the cardboard again and put it together, I tried to climb up while the girl held onto the pile of cardboard so as not to fall, just a little more, but I failed to slip down, and my hand hit the wall, "Aaaah !" I groaned in pain, my bloody right hand seemed to have been scratched by the nail on the wall just now. I still fell down in pain not moving from my place.

The girl approached me, then saw my wound "Oh how this, her blood is so much ripped is also big" he said, then he checked my body, head, left hand to foot, "Is there any other wound, he said, are you okay ? Did your head hit too ?" Ask again to worry.

"I'm fine" I said while still grimacing in pain.

The girl went looking for something, but she didn't seem to find anything she was looking for, she came back to me, she opened her veil, and used it to wrap my bloody arm. "Straighten your hand don't move, otherwise the bleeding won't stop, stay like this until someone else comes to our rescue" he said, wrapping his hand.

But strangely I did not feel any pain anymore, I was fascinated with his face I could not turn to look at his talking face while his hands were busy to wrap my wounds. Beautiful, beautiful that's what I thought. Until he was done with his work our eyes met, for the first time I could clearly look him in the eyes, my body was hypnotized my gaze did not turn.

"Sister, aren't you papa?" tanyanya.

"Ahh yes thank you "I also took my eyes off, and this girl who was it ? ah Mariam, she sat beside me.

"Sorry because of me, brother got hurt?" he said while his face was down.

"It's not your fault, I was told by the lecturer to come here" I said calmly.

"But I feel lucky because there is a big brother here, if I was alone maybe I would be very scared, thanks "he said still not to look at me.

She's sweet, makes me smile her skin white her lips are also tiny, I like her, ahh not what I think. "You said you were ashamed to eat it you were wearing a veil, but I think you're beautiful and what you're ashamed of".

"I'm ashamed of God, I want to keep myself from the gaze of a man who is not a believer, I just want to look after myself just for my husband later" he said.

I turned my face away "I'm sorry I shouldn't have looked at you earlier" I said feeling guilty.

"No papa, you can look at me !"

I looked back at him confused "Why ?"

She looked at me and smiled "Because I like Ardan's sister" and then she quickly looked down, I saw her cheeks turning red.

I smiled, "Do you really like me ?" he just kept quiet but there was a shy smile there.

We were just quietly drifting in the daydream each, until the afternoon my friends found me here and helped us, Mariam covered her face using the used book that was here. I didn't answer her statement of love but the flower in my heart started to grow. Haha this is as easy as it is for me to fall in love, I think I have to dare to go to Nia and apologize so that we can be friends again, after all Mariam is a friend of Nia.

Cieeee has a new love !! Hehe ^
