The Hidden Feelings

Five days later Grandma was allowed to go home for outpatient treatment at home.

That morning, Lika and Lia made a schedule to keep Grandma alternating.

"Lia..kakak did not teach morning until afternoon..so the new sister can take care of the grandmother at 3 pm..you how?" Ask Lika.

"I go to college from 2 pm, so from morning to 1 am I take care of Grandma.but.on that hour Grandma alone dong..." Lia.

"Take it easy Lia. Later sister will find a nurse for Grandma..." Lika. His hand grabbed his bag and took him to school.

Lika pedaled her bike quickly, yesterday said Bu Wati, Mr. Ferry looked for her when Lika was busy going back and forth to the hospital taking care of her grandmother.

After parking her bike, Lika walked to her room, apparently Mr. Ferry was waiting in front of Lika's room.

"Good morning Mr. Ferry.sorry so wait for me..." Said Lika.

"Oh...it's okay Miss Lika...how is Grandma's condition?" Ask mr. Ferry.

"My grandmother has been mengingan sir.sudah outpatient at home..oya, he said there is something you want to talk to me?" Ask Lika back.

"Oh.it's Mom...Next week, our school is invited to attend an exclusive seminar on child psychology.I want to send Ms. Lika representing the school to come to attend the event..." Obviously Mr. Ferry.

"Where's the seminar, sir?" Ask Lika.

"Hmm.later I consider again sir.remember I have to alternate with my sister to take care of my grandmother..." Lika.

"Alright..I wait for the news, ma'am.. I say goodbye to my room first..." Said Mr. Ferry who immediately went back to his room.

Lika weighed the offer given by Mr. Ferry, will he set foot in Bandung again, even though his heart actually said longing to just see the city, the city he had left.

"Hello Ma'am..slamat morning...!!"

Lika turned her head in shock, as she daydreamed unconsciously with the presence of someone.

"Morning.eh thou Alex.tidiest of days..." Said Lika.

"Yes ma'am.mau really study, let's quickly graduate from here..." Alex Sahut.

"Well.good son.focus on the goal, do not be distracted by negative things around you.ayo spirit!" Said Lika while raising both her hands.

"Thank you, ma'am.I'll go in first..." Then Alex passed immediately from before Lika.

The afternoon after teaching, Lika stopped her bike because suddenly her bicycle tire deflated, then she led her bike on foot looking for a bicycle repair shop.

Tin..tin....

The sound of the car horn shocked Lika, she turned her head, a sedan car stopped beside her.

"Why the bicycle? Let me take you...!" Shouted Mr. Ferry from inside his car.

"Eh..ini sir...ban I deflated..bapak just go first..I want to find a workshop!" Kill Lika.

"There's no bike repair shop here..." Suddenly, Ferry's car stopped right in front of Lika. So Lika had to stop her steps.

"Thank you, sir..."

"Yes Lika.later after we meet the workshop, your bike will be dropped..now let you come home with me..." Sahut Pak Ferry who immediately opened his car door, Lika finally climbed also to the Ferry car.

"Mr Lika..."

"Yes sir..."

"On your CV, I see your status is still single? Don't you have a boyfriend or a future husband?" Ask Mr. Ferry who is so to the point, so that makes Lika be wrong.

"Eh...I.iya sir..." Sahut Lika awkward.

"Don't hesitate to me Mom.I'm also single.I'm still young.Mom..maybe we're the same age..." Said Mr. Ferry.

Soon they found a bike repair shop, with deft sir Ferry dropped off Lika's bike and put it in the workshop.

"It's safe Mom...Wait 15 minutes to finish..." Mr. Ferry said as he shook off the dust in his hand. While waiting for the bike to finish, they chatted at a coffee shop next to the workshop.

"Sorry sir, I'm troubling you..." Lika.

"Ah..no hassle kok Bu.oya, how about the seminar in Bandung...Miss Lika doesn't mind representing the school?" Ask Mr. Ferry.

"No sir.I will come along.oya, if I can I need a female teacher sir to accompany me, not just the two of us.not good to see sir..." Said Lika.

"But the ticket is just one..."

"It's okay.we can room together really..." Obviously Lika.

"Hmm...all right..later I set..tuh the bike is done, ma'am..." Said Mr. Ferry while pointing at the bicycle.

"Hello..."

"Hello mbok.ini Lika, next week I will go to Bandung.but only two days..." Said Lika.

"Oh...Next week...what can help Narti?" Ask Mbok Narti.

"It's okay mbok.kalo he asked again, just say ask his heart..." Lika.

"Mbok Narti began to understand.between mbak Lika and Mr. Ricky..."
