LOVE THE CUPU

Chapter-13~Street or dating.

Arif is still chatting with the Khanza family.

"Rif, come ...!" take Khanza who is ready to wear his hoodi and jeans.

Arif looked back and was fascinated by Khanza's appearance, although still with braided hair and glasses. Khanza looks so sweet and so natural.

"Ehem!"

Arif was surprised by the deheman of Brother Khanza, he went to stand up and say goodbye to the Khanza family to take Khanza for a while.

"Excuse me, Om, Brother Zay," said Arif.

"Yes, careful!" papa Khanza.

"Don't forget my message!" added Zay.

"Each Kak, Assalamualaikum," said Arif greeting the Khanza family one by one. Khanza also followed Arif from behind.

"Ma, Pa, Brother Zay, Brother Zihan, Khanza. Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikum salam." they said together.

Khanza's family never restrained Khanza, as long as Khanza knows where the boundaries are and knows which ones are good to play and which ones to avoid. But, despite that, they always monitor what Khanza is doing.

Khanza although given freedom, he never got out of control, he felt that the freedom given his family a great responsibility that must be borne. He always tried to give his best to his family.

To give his achievements to his family. Although sometimes he tried to be free by gathering with his motorcycle gang friends, it was also if he was with his best friend Faizal.

***

Arif and Khanza had ridden a motorcycle and split the night streets were quite solid. The piercing gust of night wind made Khanza feel cold. Arif felt Khanza agitated behind him and shuddered in coldness. He pulled Khanza's hand to hug her.

Khanza was initially surprised, but resigned to obey what Arif did. She put her hand on Arif's stomach. Khanza smiled and stuck his head behind Arif.

'Let me enjoy for a moment.' Inner Khanza.

Arif could not help but smile happily as Khanza clasped his head on his trunk, he clasped Khanza's hand tightly in his stomach. Khanza further tightened his arms and drowned his face in Arif's shell.

Indeed a love that can not be denied, even though we say a thousand times no but if the heart that speaks, all will still feel different. Comfort is what may be in the sense of both.

Khanza forgets for a moment that Arif already has a lover, and forgets for a moment what other people think of him.

Here they are, sitting in the corner of the cafe with chatting and joking together like a pair of lovers who are drunk in love. Arif turned out to be very ignorant to Khanza, often teasing Khanza because he liked with a shy face Khanza.

Arif really likes if Khanza's cheeks turn red and end up pinched by Arif with his anxiety, it makes Khanza always whine with his pot. It was also, that without them realizing it made their feelings deeper, with deep prestige as well.

"Rif, you walk with me, is it okay with Vera?" Khanza asked seriously by putting one french fry in his mouth

"Geez-uhuk!"

Arif immediately chokes getting a question from Khanza.

'Did Khanza know that me and Vera .... But how does he know everything?"

he thought about how Khanza knew that he was dating Vera, and now even Arif does not remember Vera, let alone think that Vera will be angry with him.

Khanza reflexively stood up to Arif, patting Arif on the shoulder and thrusting his drink at Arif.

Arif immediately drank it and scrunched his forehead because of the sour taste that entered his tongue, Arif felt something different with his drink saw the contents of the glass he drank. Khanza realized that he was giving the wrong drink.

"Sorry Rif, that's my drink! I'm done reflexively seeing you sprain that way!" khanza.

"Haha! no papa, kok. pretty good also your ex! though I don't like orange juice," said Arif with his crisp laugh and his one-eye flicker.

The blusses!

Arif's words successfully make Khanza's cheeks as red as tomatoes. Arif who saw Khanza's red cheeks immediately pinched both of his cheeks fatigued, and increasingly teased Khanza.

"This ... try cicipin again! it must be sweet, my lips," said Arif teasing Khanza.

"What'an, anyway!"

Khanza could not hide his happy smile even though with a shy attitude he still took and drank the juice offered by Arif.

"Where, cutie?" asked Arif, with his chin raised and blinked one eye.

Khanza averted his gaze staring around the cafe, he had already misbehaved himself.

"Sugary, anyway! but, honey, someone already has. Afraid of school!" khanza said originally, while spending the rest of the orange juice.

Arif was immediately silent with Khanza's words. Shifting his gaze bribed the rest of his fries, distilling the meaning of the utterance.

Staring Khanza back with his serious face. Take a deep breath and breathe out slowly. Arif walked through the pious hands of Khanza on the table, grasping gently with emotion. Arif tries to find the right words to express everything.

Khanza nodded questioningly at Arif who suddenly pulled his hand and turned serious. Khanza's heart was about to jump out of place. Khanza was silent with uneasy feelings as her heart churned with Arif's successful treatment making her baper herself.

"Za, Earlier .... I want to apologize to you! maybe my nature at school often makes you angry. I've been dating Vera, but honestly from the bottom of my heart, I feel comfortable when I'm with you. I try to always avoid you at school because I'm afraid you'll have problems with Vera and her gangmates, and I can't do anything for you. Anyway, you guys have a problem? because yesterday you did not know Dea!" arif said he tried to explain why he avoided Khanza at school, but did not explain that he was quite prestige with other people's views of Khanza.

"No need to apologize Rif, I can never be angry with you. I understand your position at school! anyway ... I'm self-aware, who I am at school. Especially the view of others towards me. I'm just a little girl who doesn't deserve to be friends with popular people like you. Plus, now you've been dating Vera which is worth your while. I shouldn't even be here with you" Khanza said with reddened eyes, with tightness and pain that felt so piercing in the chest.

Pulling a hand from Arif's grasp tried to stand up to go from there. Arif swiftly pulled Khanza's hand. Unwilling to let go even though Khanza repeatedly pulled her.

"Za, listen first!"

"Sorry, Rif!" Khanza is still trying to pull his hand.

"Za, it's not like that! don't misunderstand me, Za! arif said he felt guilty because Khanza knew everything.

"I know myself enough, Rif. Off! I want to go home" Khanza said with tears. Khanza retracted his hand but Arif still did not want to take it off.

"Za, please don't make me fuck up again! I've been so fucked up when you didn't pick up my phone. Please don't be angry! if you want to go home let me deliver," said Arif staring at Khanza with a lethargic face and make sure Khanza does not leave.

Khanza stopped pulling his hand, he could not bear Arif pleading like that. Because Arif was right, so many calls and messages from him today. Khanza sat back down and followed Arif's will.

"I told you that I could never be angry with you Rif. I will never be angry with my friends! people like me are very difficult to get friends, especially friends," Khanza said after sitting down, and once again tried to release Arif's hand.

There was a taste like in the prick of thousands of needles when Khanza said the word friend. Just now that Khanza felt happiness with Arif's treatment he had to accept the fact that everything was just a friendship.

Pulling his hand from Arif's grasp, he was afraid that he could not control his feelings anymore.He was afraid that the feeling of admiration that had been there would turn into a feeling that was more than just admiring.

Arif still won't let go, he's afraid that Khanza will leave, and he'll feel even more guilty for all of it.

"Za, even in school I always dodged! but believe me, I will always be your friend and even your best friend, again sorry, Za? maybe you can never be angry with anyone, but your eyes can't lie Za, I always make you disappointed, sorry!" arif said with a bowed face and a face that really felt guilty. Just an apology for the umpteenth time for not knowing what to do.

"Yes, already! we're going home yo, Za! I'll take you home."

Arif felt Khanza just silent finally decided to take him home. He pulled Khanza's hand which was still in his hand.

Khanza resigned not knowing what else to say, but afraid if he could not hold back the tears that had been held back, decided to shut up and just follow Arif who pulled him out of the cafe.

Arif still did not let go of Khanza's hand to the parking lot, fortunately the parking lot looks so quiet and there are only two of them there.

After arriving next to his bike, Arif released Khanza's hand gently. Take the helmet wants to put on Khanza's head.

Instead of pairing his helmet Arif drowned in Khanza's beautiful bead of eyes. Arif and Khanza were drowning in their eyes.

Arif unknowingly brought his face slowly closer to Khanza, laying his lips right on Khanza's pink lips.

The first kiss for both Arif and Khanza, Arif did so gently and soulfully.

Khanza who was carried away by Arif's treatment just closed his eyes. Not trying to resist or retaliate at all, until Arif pulls back, and attaches his helmet to Khanza's head.

Khanza was silent and shocked at what had just happened. The first kiss taken by someone so admired. The heart is already irregular, no matter what it tastes, there is a sense of happiness but also at the same time sad, like drinking coffee, there is a bitter taste but so comfortable in enjoying.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sassy!" arif rubbed the corner of Khanza's lips gently, staring guiltily at the sweet girl in front of him.

Arif doesn't understand why he can do that, he can't control himself when he sees Khanza who just silences him like that.

I don't know where he dared to do it, but he never did it at all even with his girlfriend and ex, and this is also for the first time for him

Arif's heart and blood work out of control, he is very nervous and does not know what to do especially because he dared to do it with Khanza, especially with Khanza who is currently just silent.

Arif put a helmet on his head and got on his bike, turning the key to turn the bike on.

"It's Rif, assume nothing ever happened!" khanza said, riding on Arif's bike and sitting behind him. Arif who was silent digested what Khanza meant.

"Let's go!" khanza patted Arif on the shoulder and wrapped his hands around Arif's stomach.

Arif awakens from his daydream, staring happily at Khanza's hand coiled around his stomach.

turn the key and turn the motor on.

Before running his bike Arif stared at Khanza in his rearview mirror.

Khanza's face flushed red when he saw Arif's shadow staring at him through the rearview mirror. They came face to face through the rearview mirror and threw smiles at each other.

Khanza who felt wronged immediately drowned his face behind Arif, Arif's heart that had been beating so fast even felt by Khanza.

Splitting the quiet streets, the night wind that blows so pierced into the bone that Khanza further tightened his embrace, Arif could not let go of his happy smile. Slow down the motorway, take off one hand from the bike and hold Khanza's hand on his thigh.

Although the streets are quiet, Arif does not intend to get home quickly, want to enjoy all this comfort.

They look like lovers who are drunk in love, forgetting the status of Arif who already has Vera as his girlfriend. Equally lulled with the atmosphere of enjoying temporary comfort.
