M.A.A.P (White Ash Time)
Chapter 23
At night after returning from Rani's house, Andi was lying in bed while daydreaming, thinking about the words earlier at Rani's house, where Randi who nitip greetings to Rani a little made him speechless. He starts to think that Randi has feelings for Rani and becomes agitated.
Andi knows if Randi is a good person and very popular, Rani also looks friendly with Randi and she is afraid if Rani also has feelings for Randi.
‘Arrghh..I have to how to try.’ murmured Andi who fidgets himself.
An agitated Andi continued to fall asleep on his own and woke up in the morning. When she wakes up she decides something, she is determined to get closer to Rani again, and hopes Rani has the same feelings as her.
After breakfast Andi rushed to school and until in front of the house he met Rani who also just came out of her house, she looks so calm.
“Again Ran, want to go to school?” greet Andi.
“Morning In. Yes do what else try.” replied Rani.
The two laughed and decided to leave together on foot. While on the road Andi often invites Rani to chat about many things.
“Di, in your class how are your friends ?” ask Rani.
“Most of the kids basketball Ran..” replied Andi.
“You still have a lot of basketball activities ?” ask Rani again.
“Iya nih maybe until the first semester is over that XII class focuses on exam preparation.”
“Oh so, must be utilized tuh less a little more.”
“Iya Ran.”
It does not feel they have reached school, before Rani entered the class Andi tried to dare to say something to Rani.
“Ran, later go home with ya we stop by at the usual place want ?” bring Andi.
Hearing the invitation from Andi Rani seemed happy, she happily wanted to,
“Oke At ready.” replied Rani.
“OK later I pick up to your class back home school.”
After that Andi immediately headed to his class as well as Rani. Rani looks so happy with Andi, for some time she did not walk with Andi and stopped by the usual place they came home from school.
In the class Irma who saw Rani with a happy expression became curious and asked Rani,
“Why do you Ran look so happy?” ask Irma.
“Hehe is nothing Ma.” replied Rani berkilah.
“Hmm. so be suspicious, you do not cover up Ran..”
Rani just smiled and did not answer. A few minutes later the first hour bell rang and the day's lessons began. During the lesson both Rani and Andi felt like hurrying to come home so they could meet and go home together. That day felt long for them.
Finally the clock came home, after waiting a bit quiet Andi met Rani in her class, there was still Irma too. Seeing Andi coming Rani quickly packed her things and approached Andi. Irma who was watching Rani's behavior immediately smiled, she could guess the reason Rani looked so happy that day, apparently because of Andi.
“Ma, let us together until the front.” invite Rani.
“Yuk deh, I am together until the parking lot.” replied Irma with pleasure.
The three of them walked out of the classroom to the school yard, until in front of Irma parted with them and headed for the motor park, while Andi and Rani continued to walk towards their home. During the walk they look relaxed while enjoying the atmosphere of a hot day. As promised this morning they stopped by the father of the sugar cane ice seller for a short break, fortunately the atmosphere is very supportive for drinking ice so it feels very delicious.
“Pak Es Tebu 2 yes.” says Andi ordered Es cane
“OK mas.”
While waiting for their ice to come, Rani took the time to open her cellphone, there was a message from her brother if he would come home late because there was activity on the campus. The curious Andi done by Rani tried to ask, though,
“Who Ran ?” ask Andi.
“Oh start busy yes mas Rian.”
Before long their Ice came, they quickly drank it because it was thirsty and the weather was hot. Without further ado Andi tried to ask Rani,
“Ran can I ask ? but you don't get mad yeah.” said Andi asking permission.
“Iya Di.. want to ask what ?”
“You are now again close to who ?”
Hearing a question from Andi, Rani looked a little surprised and looked confused to answer how, but she was not being close to anyone but Andi.
“Not There In.. Why ?” tanya Rani tried to answer by staring at Andi.
Andi who heard the answer from Rani so embarrassed herself to see it, she was happy to hear it and smiled, saying,
“Truly Ran ?” ask Andi again to make sure.
Rani nodded steadily, she wondered why Andi asked her such a thing. Suddenly Andi's expression became serious,
“Ran I want to say something to you.” Andi tried to say but still cut, Rani became more curious and seriously noticed Andi.
Andi tries to gather her confidence and expresses her feelings for Rani,
“actually I have always liked you Ran..” said Andi while looking straight at Rani.
Rani who heard him was surprised, she did not expect that Andi would express feelings to her. Rani also feels happy that Andi has the same feelings as her, now she is confused about how to answer it. The two are now a little awkward, though,
“Ran I want to know how you feel to me, can ?” ask the curious Andi.
Rani was silent for a while and Andi was still waiting for an answer from Rani, after thinking about some things Rani finally answered her, and Andi was still waiting for an answer,
“I actually like you too Di.” replied Rani.
Instantly Andi's expression turned cheerful, it turned out that Rani also had feelings for him. He then tells Rani about his decision,
“Ran, thank you for saying it. Relax Ran I will not be dating.. If your feelings do not change will you after graduating from school live with me?” ask Andi seriously.
Hearing the statement from Andi Rani so moved, she knew what Andi was like and understood if Rani did not want to be tied to a relationship. Hearing the statement from Andi he was very happy, and also hoped if diabisa along with Andi.
“Iya Di, I also hope to be the same you later.. can be ?” rani said with a shy smile.
Hearing Rani's reply, Andi was overjoyed and could not hide her happy face and immediately covered her face with her hands, Rani also did so she turned her face away in embarrassment over what was said just now.
“Hehe what do you like from me Ran ?” ask Andi.
“What yes, everything I like hehe.” replied Rani with a smile.
“if you're ON ?” ask Rani back.
“I like your nature, your innocence and diligence, your good and much more.” replied Andi in detail.
“Aduh aduh.. I'm really plain it turns out.”
“Eh hehe.
They continued to talk and unknowingly the father of the cane Ice seller noticed them and accidentally heard them.
“So now we are as usual just Ran but yes do not be too excessive and can keep our commitment.how ?” said Andi.
“Iya Di agreed hehe. hopefully we can still take care of him.. Aamiin.” said Rani.
The two smiled and after they finished drinking the cane ice they immediately went home on foot. From then on their relationship has changed, a little awkward indeed but for a long time they will get used to it.
