4 Months already?

Since graduation until now, maybe about 4 months Nei did not meet with her friends at Senior High School except with Nadin.

Although he and Nadin different campuses but they often hangout together.

They both wear a compact black robe and a mocca-colored veil. Most of the women present also wore the same clothes as them.

"Ah, Arsa" said Nadin, flicking his right finger.

Nei looked at Nadin while furrowing an eyebrow.

A few seconds of silence amid the bustling sholawatan.

"Arsyad times yes," Nei said confirmed.

"It is usually called Arsa" replied Nadin reminded.

"Udah ah sholawatan aja" said Nei. He tried to stop the conversation in the middle of the event.

Three hours have passed, the show is not finished. But Nadin and Nei were already standing up to leave the event. The two agreed to go home at 10 because tomorrow there is still class.

"May..." Nadin paused then held Nei's right wrist while putting on the face of the kebelet.

"Yuk's bathroom" Nadin continued.

"Him alone," told Nei to take off Nadin's grip on his hand.

"You know." said Nadin without continuing his words.

"Don't be long but," Nei also walked ahead of Nadin towards the campus bathroom which was quite far from the event venue.

Not without reason Nei reminded to not long, because he had memorized with Nadin who took a long time just to urinate.

"I'll wait here" said Nadin when he reached the front door of the bathroom.

"Follow in, then wait in front of the toilet door," Nadin pinta.

"Don't want to ah, just out here" Nei said as she pushed Nadin's body into the bathroom.

Nadin just resigned and entered with a bent face.

"Eh, don't be long really," Nei said once again.

"Let's be long" said Nadin from the toilet in an annoyed tone.

Nei who heard only a light laugh then confirmed the location of his small black bag.

The bathroom they visited was far from the crowd because it was located behind the building. It is certain that the bathroom located near the hawker stalls that are open in front must be in line.

So Nei sengaaja directed to the quiet bathroom in the back so as not to wait for long.

Nei just quietly played the keychain while looking down and leaned his body against the wall behind him.

Without realizing it, someone approached him.

Nei who was a little daydreaming frowned when he realized there was a pair of sandal-legged feet in front of him that were located a little far away.

He quickly looked up and saw who was stopping in front of him.

Because of the light that does not highlight outside the bathroom, the lights that only flash in the bathroom, so dimly bright.

Neipun increasingly narrowed his eyes to see the person in front of him, the distance is not close nor far away.

He widened his eyes when he realized who the person in front of him was.

"Kok here," Nei said softly to the man in front of her.

"Out of the bathroom" he said, pointing to the male bathroom next to the female bathroom.

She's Arsa, ah no. Arshad. Mohammed Arsyad. The man who played sholawat on stage. He just stood still with an expressionless face.

"Eh, long time no see ya," said Nei awkwardly.

"Eh but for what meet is only a friend" inner Nei.

"Yes, that's fine" said Arsyad with a faint smile.

"Great are you, you can perform everywhere" Nei praised him.

"No, this is first" replied Arsyad calmly.

Nei raised his eyebrows. Why Arsyad made her a little embarrassed.

"Ah first," Nei responded while nodding her head slowly.

A few seconds between them, no one made a sound.

Nei was actually confused as to why only he asked, right the one who had stopped in front of him Arsyad. Means something to tell. Ought to.

"Eh, you don't have to go back there anymore" Nei continued breaking the silence.

Arsyad who will open his mouth did not look at the bathroom door that opened displaying the figure of Nadin with a surprised face.

"Who is there," said Nadin immediately expression excited to see Arsyad and Nei both.

"Udah? We go first, yes, want to go home," asked Nei to ask permission from Arsyad and turned to see a strange smile on Nadin.

Nadin who realized the meaning of the smile was immediately doing the opposite action.

"Duh Nei I want a snack at the front stall first, you're here, long time you don't meet Arsyad," pinta Nadin with a face without guilt.

"Yes yes," while running left Nei and Arsyad both. Just the two, away from the crowd. Sholawat's voice is still heard here.

"Eh.." silence between the two of them. Nei felt bad to say goodbye first because she realized Arsyad wanted to say something.

But they were silent and no one spoke. Nei was unfamiliar with the awkward situation of both with just the opposite sex.

He did get used to the opposite sex after splitting classes for six years at his school first.But this was just the two of them, making him a little uncomfortable.

Arsyad cleared his throat, making Nei, who had been lowered, raise his head.

"08-what," said Arsyad suddenly while taking out his phone from his jacket pocket. He doesn't wear pants but a sarong. Sholawat uniform shirt covered in his jacket.

"Huh?" nei replied while frowning his brows.

"Your number" said Arsyad, looking into Nei's eyes.

Nei simply fell silent as she blinked her eyes and looked around, she was not used to being stared at by men.

"Make what?" nei replied as he exhaled slowly trying to calm down, not nervous.

"Your number has changed" said Arsyad flatly, He played his phone.

"Yes" Nei replied.

"Yes I asked for a new one" said Arsyad as he thrust his phone towards Nei.

Nei just kept quiet not taking the phone in front of him

"Can't you?" ask Arshad with his waiting hand.

"Yes," Neipun greeted Arsyad's phone and typed his number.

After that he returned his phone to Arsyad.

"What name," asked Arsyad who would keep the number.

"It's up to you" said Nei Lirih. In his heart, Nei wondered what Arsyad was asking for his number for. But he hesitated to ask directly.

"Thank you" said Arsyad, pocketing his phone and walking away.

"Udah?" said Nei who was still silent in his place while Arsyad had already walked a few steps away from his place.

"Why?" arsyad replied turning his body towards Nei.

"What name?" ask Nei abstract.

Arsyad only responded with a smile and continued his steps leaving Nei alone.

Nei just stuck quietly in his place with an erratic feeling.
