M.A.A.P (White Ash Time)

Chapter 24's

Since Andi expressed her feelings for Rani, their lives changed slightly, they became often communication although not intense and they also limited themselves so as not to overdo it like dating people.

At school they also do not change fixed as usual, Andi who is busy with his basketball and Rani who remains not prominent often study with Irma in the library or in a place that is comfortable for them to study. While they were studying in the library suddenly Irma who was always curious about the relationship Rani and Andi tried to ask, Irma,

“Ran your relationship with Andi how now ?” ask Irma.

“Eh why ask Ma ? there is nothing.” replied Rani.

Rani is still trying to hide her relationship now with Andi because she is still embarrassed to admit it and is afraid that later many people will find out and Rani becomes the center of attention, Andi is a very popular person in school.

“Hmm cook anyway. You don't try to talk to him about your feelings ?” ask Irma.

“Again, now focus on our exam preparation Ma..”

“Iya deh.”

Irma stopped interrogating him and continued studying without feeling like the day had started last afternoon and they decided to go home. That day Andi and Rani went home together as usual. At home, Randi was with Rian.

“Eh new home Ran, tumben afternoon ?” ask Randi.

“Iya Mas, learn first.” replied Rani.

“Oh yes already class XII yes have a lot to learn. spirit Ran..” said Randi encouraging.

“Still mas.”

Rani heads to her room to get changed, Randi and Rian are still in the living room, not knowing what they are talking about. Moments later Rani comes out of the room in a long-sleeved shirt and training pants and hijab and approaches her brother,

“Mas Rian kok not taken a snack anyway for mas Randi.” said Rani who scolded her brother for not providing snacks for guests.

“Oh Yes grabin Ran.”

Rani immediately looked for snacks in the kitchen and served in front of Randi and her brother, who,

“This Mas. sorry yes.”

“Iya is okay Ran.. how is the lesson ?” ask Randi.

“Udah started hard Mas.” complained Rani.

“In case of distress here I teach, I am ready.” said Randi.

“Still Mas Randi.”

Randi smiled watching Rani who relaxed while watching tv. Rian who observed him immediately patted Randi's shoulder to refocus on their conversation. Randi became misbehaved because of being caught by Rian.

Randi is kind to everyone, he often helps his underclassmen to learn. Sometimes when he is at home Rian and Rani is learning he will be happy to teach, like one day when Rani does her job, Randi helps provide an explanation for the solution of the problem so that Rani can work on it

by oneself.

Even a few days after that day Randi who happened to be at home again Rian saw Rani who was working on an assignment while watching tv offered to help, Rani happily accepted the offer. Both are cool to discuss the tasks done by Rani, while Rian sits in the guest room while doing his own duties.

“Randi you are here to do our job does help Rani anyway ?” asked Rian who was astonished by Randi.

“Hehe bentar Yan less little nih.” replied Randi.

“Bentar mas Rian, mumpung mas Randi is here.” protest Rani.

“Huh yaudah deh.”

Finally Rian let them together, the unexpected happened, Andi came to their house. I heard knocking on the door of the house,

“Eh Andi, sign in..” invite Rian.

Hearing Andi's voice, Rani was a little surprised and immediately tried to control herself so as not to be nervous. Randi who observed Rani became confused by the change in her face. Andi stepped in to approach Rian who was struggling with his laptop.

“Wah menggerjain Mas task ?” ask Andi.

“Iya is getting busy.How to learn you ?” ask Rian.

“Current mas.. hehe.. oh yes Rani where ?” ask Andi who started looking for Rani.

“Tuh in front of tv again learn.” replied Rian.

Without further ado Andi began to walk in and call Rani's name,

“Ran...”  Call Andi.

Andi was a little surprised that there was Randi there seen teaching Rani, casually Andi approached them, while Rani was a little nervous because there was Andi there.

“Eh no mas Randi, has it been a long time ago mas ?” ask Andi basa stale.

“Eh Andi, no coincidence that there is a similar affair Rian.” replied Randi kindly.

“Oh happens to be yes.” Andi said in a slightly flat tone.

Andi decides to join them and sit beside Rani, while Randi is in front of them, fortunately Randi is not too sensitive or aware of Andi's behavior that looks jealous. Likewise with Rani who is indeed she is very insensitive so she behaves better.

Randi continued to explain the material that was asked by Rani casually, Andi also noticed what was described by Randi, before Rian called Randi to come to him. Inevitably Randi complies and leaves Rani and Andi. After being left by Randi, they both automatically shut up, Andi who looks still jealous puts both hands on the table and puts his head while looking at Rani, looking at her intensely and flatly, Rani was silent and misbehaved. He ventured to look at Andi who was putting on her flat face. ‘ini child said yes her expression is like that.’ Inner Rani.

“Ke.. why In ?” Rani tried to dare to ask.

“Nothing, have you finished learning?” andi asked to switch the conversation.

“Udah, thanks to the help of ams Randi quickly completed.” replied Rani innocently.

Andi just smiled a little hearing it,

“other time to learn the same I aja Ran. mas Randi will have the same business mas Rian.” Andi said later.

“Em, yes. kasian also if the fingers continue.” said Rani later.

It seems that he does not understand what Andi means by not directly saying do not ask to be taught by other men, if there is nothing to ask to be taught only Andi, like that. Andi was just trying to be patient, even so Rani's innocent nature was one of the reasons she liked him.

A few days after that Andi began to behave normally again with Rani. They usually leave and go home together, as they currently promised to go home together but because Andi still has basketball activities, Rani was forced to wait in class while studying. Irma had gone home first, because for a long time she was bored, Rani decided to approach the Hall.

Arriving at the Hall, Rani decided to sit on the edge near the wall, she tried not to be seen by Andi but free with great Andi know it. Andi looked briefly at Rani and continued training, on the sidelines to play basketball there was a girl who was busy taking notes and carrying a stopwatch. Rani looked at him and found out that the girl was the manager of the basketball team. After the training was over Andi approached the girl, and unexpectedly the schoolgirl gave a small towel to Andi, with pleasure Andi accepted it, it was normal for the basketball team, but not for Rani. Rani doesn't like to see him but he's silent, he knows it's the job of the team manager but he can't avoid feeling unhappy.

While waiting for Andi beberes, Rani took the time to read the book she brought, not long ago Andi came in her uniform, she had taken a bath and still looks wet hair.

“Ran, come home.” take Andi,

Rani smiled and followed Andi out of the Hall, many eyes were observing them especially Sisil, they were wondering what their real relationship was, some were assuming if they were going out, some were dating, but when they asked Andi, Andi replied no.

During the road Rani looks silent, she still thinks about Andi's closeness with the team manager, she wants to ask but embarrassed, later thought she was a jealous girl. Andi who noticed so confused because from earlier Rani was silent.

“Why Ran ?” andi asked open her voice.

“Nothing In..” replied Rani flatly.

‘for sure there is anything this, it is impossible diem gitu.’ inner Andi.
