LOVE THE OLD MAN'S

THE HIDDEN LOVE

" Nayla." call Ardian suddenly still with eyes closed.

Nayla blinked her eyes, with a shocked heart, was her hearing not wrong that Ardian just called her name??

Nayla observed Ardian's pale lips, whether there was movement and making a sound or not.

" Em did he say anything? I don't think I'm getting any more clueless with this Ardian, why does he keep so many photos of me at school at his house? does he have anything on me? ahhh no way, Ardian attitude used to be mediocre to him, even closer to Zanna, or Ardian likes Zanna, in the photos there are also photos of Zanna? but why is the phone code my date of birth? not Zanna's date of birth? confused me with this Ardian." said Nayla inwardly still staring at Ardian's face.

" Nayla." The call was heard again and this time Nayla knew who had called her, Ardian!

" Ehh, father..bapak is conscious?" nayla asked, looking at Ardian's open eyes, Ardian's hand moved slowly.

Ardian looked at Nayla with a gaze that made Nayla's heart feel uneasy.

" Why is Ardian staring at me like that? my feelings are so bad." Nayla said inwardly turning her eyes elsewhere.

" What's going on?" asked Ardian trying to sit down but his body was very limp.

" You lie down first, your body is still limp." said Nayla holding Ardian's shoulder while Ardian still forced himself to wake up.

" I want to get some water to drink" said Ardian still trying to get up.

" You lie down, let me get you a drink" said Nayla who was a little unbearable when she saw someone who was sick.

Nayla took a glass of water on the table, then by raising a little of Ardian's head, Nayla helped Ardian drink the water sip by mouth.

" Already sir?" asked Nayla still holding the glass in her hand.

Ardian nodded weakly.

" Thank you Nayla, you haven't answered my question, why am I here?" tanya Ardian looked at Nayla's face fixedly.

Nayla put her glass back on the table, then returned Ardian's adorable gaze.

" So you passed out in the bathroom, the three of us who brought you here, Mang Maman must come home, Mak Jum will soon come in my place." obviously Nayla who remembered Mak Jum who should have come.

" You haven't come home yet?" tanya Ardian saw that Nayla's clothes were still the same as this morning.

Nayla shook her head.

" No sir" replied Nayla briefly.

" Come home now, before night." said Ardian in a heavy but gentle voice.

" Mak Jum hasn't come yet sir, if I go home who's looking after you?" nayla said while looking at her watch.

" It's okay, don't worry about me, later I can call the nurse who usually looks after me here if I'm sick" said Ardian, who doesn't want to hold Nayla back if Nayla feels uncomfortable.

" Correct sir? is it okay?" nayla asked again if Ardian had improved.

" Right, I'm fine, go home Nay." said Ardian with a faint smile.

" Hmm, well sir. soon Mak Jum also come sir." said Nayla felt bad too if leaving Ardian just like that.

" All right sir, I'll go home, sir?" nayla said with a slight hesitation to leave Ardian.

Nayla picked up her backpack, then walked out of the room.

" Be careful on Nay's path" said Ardian who could not be separated to look at Nayla with a sad feeling of returning to his loneliness.

Inexplicably hearing Ardian's words reminding her to be careful, making Nayla's heart unbearable.

With a deep sigh, Nayla again walked up to Ardian and placed her backpack beside the table.

Ardian's heart, which had just felt a deep loneliness, suddenly warmed up again as Nayla approached him again.

" What's Nay, what's left?" tanya Ardian looked gently at Nayla's face which looked confused.

" No sir, it's not okay if I leave my father alone here, it's wet to help my father, I wait until Mak Jum comes, sir?" nayla said a little bad that Ardian thought something else about her.

" Hmm, thank you Nay." said Ardian with a calm heart, and a spirit of life that he suddenly felt.

" Oh yes sir, while waiting for Mak Jum to come, may I ask you something sir?" asked Nayla who was still curious about the photos in Ardian's house.

Ardian nodded slowly.

" Did you ever teach in my school, sir? because I saw some pictures of me at my dad's house?" asked Nayla without saying anything.

Ardian was silent thinking hard how to answer Nayla's question, being honest or having to keep his feelings until the end of his life.

" It's true that I once taught there as your substitute teacher" Ardian said honestly.

" Hmm, I also thought so yesterday sir after seeing the photo, so different the appearance of the father used to be the same now almost I do not know the father anymore" said Nayla did not stop.

" Do I look ugly now, Nay?" asked Ardian looking gently at Nayla.

" Oh no sir, you look handsome now despite the age of the father who is not young anymore" said Nayla as it is.

Ardian was pensive with Nayla's answer, which did not dismiss if her age was ripe almost four heads.

" You yourself look more beautiful and mature Nay, not like you used to be indifferent to appearance" said Ardian why he used to like Nayla until now.

" So you can, now I'm required to change because I have to find a job, so the appearance is very important sir." replied Nayla a little comfortable after a casual conversation with Ardian.

" Oh yes sir, there's more I really want to ask, hopefully this is my wrong thought, why is my cell phone code the same as my birth date?" nayla looked at Ardian's pale face.

Ardian pressed his temple, as if this was a very heavy question for him, maybe it was time I had to express my long-buried feelings.

" Yes that's your date of birth Nay." replied Ardian honestly with feelings that had been in his storage for many years.

" Oh,." said Nayla with a little head spinning either her mind felt blank immediately.

" I've liked you ever since I became your substitute teacher, in my eyes you're different from your friends, you're just what you look like and you don't have to be sweet to everyone near you, I loved you back then, but I can't tell you, because you never tried to get close to me at all, you had Kenzo who was your boyfriend back then, so I keep my feelings until now, I love you until now who always hope every time you come back from the city, and finally now you're back." ardian looked at Nayla who was glued to her seat.
