Love is Different

Chapter 33. I Like

Several times Fandi contacted me to just vent about the girl he was approaching, even to the point of being. Although I'm not too quick to reply to the chat, but I just want to be good with my ex. But I still keep in touch with Adi, yes, but I didn't tell him that I was communicating with my ex. Because it's not important. 

"R.. Not busy anymore?" Adi asked in a chat while I was studying in the room.

"No the Ka. I'm learning this again. What's up?" I reply quickly.

"Ka Adi wants to call Riri.." 

"Oh yes, you can.. Where's this brother?"

"In the office." 

It didn't take long, Adi called me.

"Hello.. Assalamualaikum Ri's.."

"Hmm Yes Ka.. Walaikumsalam."

Adi's voice on the phone is so soft compared to my voice. 

"Still learning Ri?" Ask Adi.

"Udah wants to be finished actually.. Why Ka?"

"Ka Adi wants a story, nantikalo in the house taut kemaleman." 

"What story do you want?"

"On the phone gini gapapa huh? It's chat ribet.."

"Yes gapapa Ka..." 

"This Ka Adi wants ready - ready to go home. While talking about it..." 

"Yeah Ka..." 

"This is not a Ka Adi anymore a lot of work, but next month Ka Adi invited to Hongkong the same meeting Ka Adi. But Ka Adi was confused as to how permission to go to work."

"When will Ka go?" 

"It is the middle of the month, before the month of September." 

"There's a leave of absence?" 

"There's... But only one day of his leave schedule. Well if Ka Adi goes to Hong Kong next month, so the new year Ka Adi in Jakarta is just that." 

"Oh that. Hmmm how ya....." 

"Kalo Ka Adi asking for a sick letter can not be the same om?" 

"Oh yes, I will ask Mr. Ka. How many days' permit?" 

"I'm sorry, God has to. Fear really hurts..." 

"That's not easy - I hope. Once - a time Ka refreshing." 

"Yeah Ka Adi really wants refreshing." 

"Yaudah later I said Mr. Ya Ka... How many days?"

"3 days to Ri.. Ka Adi Kan departs Friday.. Permission from Monday. So 5 days is the time.."

"OK on.."

"Yaudah Ka Adi just want to say that anyway, later if you can tell Ka Adi yes... This should be a call because if chat is complicated the story.."

"Yes okay Ka.."

"Jaudah if that's it.. Thanks to Ri.. Asslamualikum."

"Yes the same - same Ka... Walaikum.. Be careful on the road Ka.."

"Yes, thank you Ri.." Adi hung up the phone. 

After that, the next day I immediately asked the Father without thinking. I was like hypnotized by Adi's voice as he spoke and I immediately agreed to help him that time. Is it because I'm starting to like him? Ah I still doubt, whether I like or think like a friend or a sister. 

***

Already a few times if Adi asked for my help, I would immediately agree. Today it was time for him to go to Hong Kong with one of his friends named Indro. Adi once told me that Indro is his best friend since college. Even Adi is very close to the Indro family. Adi has started to tell his close friends with me, I am happy that Adi has started telling stories with people closest to him. Sometimes when we're talking in his car, he says one day I'll be introduced to some of his best friends. 

"Yeah.. Riri's in the afternoon today?" Ask Adi while opening the window of his car. 

"Yeah Ka... Later in the day, I want to leave early in the morning. What a males ahahaha..." 

"Yes, anyway.."

"What time does the plane leave?"

"Ka Adi is only half a day in, the plane will be at 5 pm. Just go to the airport 2 hours before the flight."

"Judah heart - heart, Ka...." 

"Yes, thank you Ri.. I'll see you next week Ri... Assalamualaikum..."

"Yeah Ka... Walaikum.. Hahaha okay.. I can't stop if I'm in the 10s."

"Yes, next week it can be..." Adi replied with a smile.

I just chuckled, and Adi ran the car slowly while waving to me.

For a week Adi was not at home, I rarely chatted with him. Maybe he's enjoying a vacation there. I was a little sad when I didn't meet him. But when he left, Adi called me via chat, and when he arrived he also informed me. 

I was bored waiting for a chat from Adi, even I occasionally find out through social media. But Adi locked his social media, even when I tried to follow, he did not accept my request on social media. I dare not ask why, even I just keep quiet, like locked.

***

"It's like Hong Kong already..." My heart when Adi's ready.

"Haha... It's by - by Riri yaa..." Adi gave by - by him to me in the form of chocolate candy and bag hangers.

"Thank you Ka.." Answer smiled.

"Yuk left..." Bring Adi.

I got in his car too.

"During Ka Adi in Hong Kong, the car parked where Ka?"

Adi while driving, "Yaa in the airport parking lot... It's safe." 

"Not in a week?"

"Iyaa nih therefore rather horrified Ka Adi actually."

"Bismillah, easy - hope gapapa on the road." 

"Yes Amiiinn..." 

In the middle of the road, the road is a bit jammed. Suddenly I saw smoke on the left front hood of Adi's car. 

"Ka... Brother's car has smoke." My solute.

Adi with a panicked face and immediately pulled his car to the left of the road. 

"Down first Ri.." Sahut Adi asked me to get out of his car immediately. 

Adi immediately opened the hood of his front car and tested the engine. 

"Ri, Ka Adi get some water first.. It's hot like this, because it hasn't been in heat for a long time."

"I'll take Ka, brother try to call the workshop or check the machine first. 

"No, let's take the water. Ka Adi lock the car first."

Adi and I immediately looked for water for the carburetor. 

After getting water, Adi put the water into the carburetor. I waited standing next to the car, clearly visible on Adi's face she was panicked and confused. Unlike the Father who is always alert and relaxed if the car breaks down. I compared you to Adi. 

"R... Ka Adi called Papa. This seems to be taken to the workshop, like Riri should stay in Ka Adi deh. It will be a long time, Ka Adi tukeran car with Papa. Papa's coming in a minute."

"Hm okay Ka, I'm taking the angkot ahead.. I'll be starting college soon. Gapapa, right?"

"Yeah gapapa.. Sorry, Ka Adi is afraid that Riri will be late to campus if you wait for Ka Adi to drive a car. Yaudah heart - heart yes Ri..."

"Yeah Ka.. Byeh.."

I immediately left Adi who was still confused with his car.
