My Heart to You, Brother (Love in Silence)

62. Sweet seventeen's...

"Because Arrida doesn't want to be fooled" said Arrida loudly in front of her father. Not shouting but sounding resolute and terrible.Pak Arthur and Bu Sofia just chuckled. They looked very relaxed, like they were flirting with the girl.

"If you don't want to, you just say it. That's why it's a hassle" Sofia said.

"So mother ma real dad mate adek?" Adnan was really curious

"Depending, but he's a good son yes bun, dare to ask permission first new deketin adek. "pack Arthur like to give a puzzle.

"Yes, not like you, dating his son, uh it's his turn to meet his father even shrieked" Bu Sofia mocked Adnan

"No, anyway Rida does not want" Arrida protested.

"But no papa deck, Ricky is handsome you know" Adnan even teased him

"Who said he was Ricky?" mr. Arthur is speaking

"Certainly? Is there anything else?" Adnan was surprised

"Yes .we have agreed with this child" Bu Sofia nodded and chuckled

"Mother ma father don't mess around with Rida's future you know" Arrida still protested

"No, you won't regret it" Sofia still teased Arrida.

"Who is he bun?" adnan asked even more curious.

"So if both sides are ready, then we will launch well" said Bu Sofia who got a nod from Mr. Arthur.

"Device, now breakfast is ready, we take the report" Sofia's orders.

"Do not think about it. study first yes, if you do not like to say, we will not mean you, okke" said Mr. Arthur asserted.

Arrida was a little calmer in her heart. She hoped there would never be a word "match" in her life. If the word happened like the incident of Novita his girlfriend Adnan, could Uwais be defending it? His status is unclear. There were never any words of love between them. There was never a confession with the word 'boyfriend'. But for sure, their current commitment is to take care of each other.

--"You again what"---

--"Health of yes"--

--"Wake Up?"---

--"Not slept?"---

--"Well night, now sleep yes"----

--"Where is school today?"----

--"What story?"----

--"What is the PMR exercise?"----

--"Well yeah"----

--"I'm going to this college"---

--"I just got home from college"---

--"Wish always yes"---

--"I always pray for you"---

That's the content of chat from Uwais to Arrida every day, just to tell the activities will go to campus, home from campus, or just ask news to Arrida. This was answered by Arrida.

-"again eat this sister"----

- "this sleep again"---

--"so at school is fine"----

--"sister also take care of health yes"----

--"Yes, my prayers are always for brother, doain me too yes"---

Just that extent. Although sometimes sometimes they can chat in a long time, talk about something that feels interesting or there are extraordinary events. There are never romantic words, love, or longing. No one ever revealed it. In their hearts, they miss each other very much. But with a chat they feel enough.

Once upon a time, they made a video call, but what happened was even like a confused person, whether to talk about what, even seemed awkward. For them it is enough just to see each other's faces, both of them are happy. No need for a chat.

Uwais: "You just photograph your activities .. and send"

Arrida:"For what?"

Uwais:"Let me know your activities, and I can linger looking at your pictures"

Arrida:"You're my sister too"

Uwais:"Occame"

And it turns out, they are more fun to live a long-distance story like this, can miss each other, pray for each other, and tell each other comfortably only through chat or photos sent. Had enough.

And it seems Uwais is always trying to send a chat to his favorite girl every day. But strangely enough, almost during this semester, Arrida himself never sent a chat first to Uwais. He would rather wait. But Uwais doesn't matter. Better like this.

"Happy Birthday to my girl... 17th Happy!

Specials chat. From Uwais's. Until the moment he read it, his heart trembled, his heart pounding. His smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Aami... Thank you My Hero..

Happy Birthday also to my sister.the 19th, May my sister more sholih, healthy, successful and barokah, Aamiin"

Jemari Arrida immediately typed in a reply for Uwais. And how happy Uwais received a reply chat from his beloved girl, the same beautiful beatings that Arrida felt, also felt by Uwais.

"Hey little girl, you're not a kid anymore huh... May you have much love and happiness"

Uwais sends a chat to Arrida.

"Aami... May you also have a lot of love and happiness ... Oiya, now I can get a ID card and SIM, no longer worry about riding my own motorbike"

Uwais: "Haish is very happy"

Arrida:"Any commander 😅"

Uwais:"Oiya"

Arrida: "No, brother, if now I'm a cypress, who cleans my face? people are far away"

Uwais: "😊😊😊"

Arrida:" Yes, my sister, I want to get ready for school first, okke, see u"

Uwais: "Okke, be careful"

🌼🌦️🌼

Arrida has just finished her performance with Nana and Hani. The sound of applause still echoed in the school GOR for a moment as the three stepped off the stage. The three of them headed to the place where their friends were. They also took their bags, then headed out the GOR

"Na, Han..." Arrida stopped her steps when they were near the exit.

He took his phone out of the bag, intending to have Arfan send a video of his performance earlier. He couldn't wait to send it to Uwais. However, when he just opened the green chat application, a chat first entered. From Uwais. He immediately opened it, it turned out that it was a video containing Arrida's performance with Nana and Hani singing the song they had just performed.

" Your looks are amazing and your singing is very kereeeen ⁇ 😉🥳"

This is the chat that follows the video.

Arrida. She's confused. Where did Uwais get the video?

"His face should not be surprised" There was a chat coming in.

Arrida was surprised. He felt that Uwais was at school. He immediately turned to the right and to the left, looking for the whereabouts of Uwais.

"Not to be searched, I'm not in GOR kok'

back a chat in. Makes Arrida curious.
