Nadine and Nathan

#44

Nadine, who had just arrived home, was a little surprised to find Christian who was already in the minicourt in front of her house.

The young man sat on the court, twirling the basketball in his hand.

"Chris?" Sapa Nadine who just entered the fence of the house.

"Hi! You've come, "welcome Christian with a happy smile.

"What are you doing in my house?" Nadine was confused.

"I was waiting for you and wanted to borrow your notebook. Didn't you say at school that your book was left at home" Christian replied quickly.

"And you also told me to come to the house if I wanted to borrow a notebook" Christian added.

Nadine nodded and finally remembered.

"Yes, I just remembered. Sorry," Nadine said in a guilty tone because she had been prejudiced against Christian.

"Come in, Chris!" Take Nadine next.

Christian nodded and immediately followed Nadine's steps towards the terrace of the house. Christian sat on the chair on the terrace. Nadine disappeared into the house.

Not long after, papa Dion's car entered the yard. It looks like Nadine and Nathan's papa just got home.

"Girl!" Greet Papa Dion after getting out of his car.

Christian stood up and smiled at Papa Dion.

"Jiang, Um. Just home?" Cristian went back to greet Papa Dion and made small talk.

"You drove Nadine home today?" Ask papa Dion with a face that looks unhappy.

"Eh, no, Om. Chris came here to borrow Nadine's notebook. But we went home alone and did not shake hands," stammering, Christian tried to explain to Papa Dion the chronology of this incident.

"Certainly that?" Sergeah papa Dion again who still seems to believe.

"Really, Om. Chris could swear, "Christian replied quickly.

Nadine came out of the house and changed her clothes. The girl brought some books in her hand as well as a glass of iced tea for Christian.

"Papa? Already home?" Nadine was a little surprised that papa Dion was suddenly on the porch and chatting with Christian.

"Papa's coming home early today" Dion explained to Nadine.

"You came home with Christian, Nad?" Sergeah papa Dion's in exchange for questioning Nadine.

"No! Nadine riding an ojek, Pa! Papa look at this," Nadine shows the online motorcycle taxi app on her phone to Dion's dad.

Papa Dion looks at the order history in the app for a moment, before returning the phone to Nadine.

The middle-aged man nodded, and sat down on the porch seat with Christian and Nadine.

"Here, Chris!" Nadine dropped some of her notebooks on Christian.

"I brought it first, yeah. Tomorrow morning I'll go back" said Christian quickly.

Nadine nodded, though,

"Looking back" replied Nadine, smiling.

"Why borrow Nadine's notebook? Are you ditching, Chris?" Ask papa Dion curious.

"Chris was sick and hospitalized last week, Pa!" Not Christian, but Nadine who answered and explained to papa Dion.

"Oh, huh? What are you sick with, Chris?" Asked papa Dion who seemed a little surprised.

"Ad's a little problem in Chris's hull, Om. Actually it can be outpatient, but mama is worried so Chris was forced to hospitalize," explained Christian a little smile.

"Keep your health, and don't eat too late!" Papa Dion's message patting Christian on the back.

"Yes, Om. Thank you for the advice" said Christian sincerely.

"Well, why hasn't Nathan come home yet?" Nadine diverted the conversation.

"Nathan is still training with the team" replied papa Dion quickly.

"Nathan's coach is not papa, so the training schedule is different," added papa Dion again.

"Oh," said Nadine briefly.

"Chris, still active on the school basketball team?" Papa Dion asked Christian.

"Still, Om. Hopefully we can still participate in the next inter-school tournament" replied Christian, hoping.

"You're twelfth in the tournament, Chris! Shouldn't you just focus on the exam," Nadine interjected.

"I knew. But I still wish I could come along. Because later after moving, I'm not sure I will be able to follow the tournaments again," said Christian quickly while smiling wryly.

Papa Dion slapped Christian on the back.

"Stay practicing your skills, even if you are not in a basketball club and are not in a tournament" said papa Dion wisely.

"Yes, Om. Chris will continue to train at Amrik later" Christian replied in earnest.

"Nadine will also train hard. Let's pass the selection to enter the University," Nadine's chimpanzee who immediately made papa Dion turn to his daughter.

"Wait on! What do you mean, Nad?" Papa Dion asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Nadine will enter the University through a basketball scholarship track, Pa," explained Nadine with a faint smile.

Nadine shakes,

"Don't Nadine have to develop the potential and skills that Nadine has? Nadine has decided, Pa," Nadine replied explaining.

"And there was absolutely no coercion when Nadine made this decision" Nadine said in a firm and earnest tone.

A smile fell on Papa Dion's lips.

"Papa is happy you can finally think far ahead" said papa Dion proudly.

Nadine simply replied with a smile.

"Do you want me to help you with workouts, Nad?" Christian Tawar.

"of course. Come on!" Nadine took the ball off the rack and immediately ran towards the minicourt.

The girl started warming up.

Christian took off the uniform he was wearing, before finally catching up with Nadine to the minicourt and warming up. Not long ago, the two teenagers had a one-on-one match in the minicourt of Nadine's home page.

And papa Dion watched the two from the sidelines while occasionally giving direction to Nadine and Christian so that the second skill is more mature.

Nadine and Christian train until the afternoon.

The sun was about to set when Christian and Nadine finished workouts. Papa Dion had entered the house earlier, and now lived Nadine and Christian who sat selonjor on the minicourt floor.

"Oh yes, Chris, your honor as a model bang Rico already melted and yesterday pinned to me. I took it for a moment, "Nadine was about to get up, but Christian quickly prevented it.

"No, Nad!" Prevent Christian fast.

Nadine sat down next to Christian.

"Honor me for you," said Christian next.

"Huh? No, Chris! That's your money," Nadine quickly refused.

"And I give it to you" Christian insisted.

"But I'm not your wife. Why are you giving me your honor?" Nadine said as she chuckled.

"You're my future wife" Christian quickly chimed in, leaving Nadine speechless.

Christian rubbed Nadine's head which now looks wrong.

"You want to be a wife-to-be for me?" Christian asked again, smiling.

"What hell! High School has not finished already thinking of a future wife," said Nadine who is still wrong.

Christian just chuckled with Nadine's answer just now.

"Alright, alright. But the money's for you, okay! Think of it as a gift from me" Christian said again.

"What gift? My birthday is still a long time," Nadine still insisted on refusing.

"Emmmmm. The gift of friendship is possible" said Christian.

"You sure? The number is good. Bisalah if you buy AD 1 shoes that are Black Panther edition," said Nadine while giggling.

"Judah, you bought it, and you used it. Who wants to be your professional basketball player" said Christian who also chuckled.

"But I'm not good,"

"Udahlah! Just say thanks for what's hard," Christian ruffled Nadine's hair.

"Yes, yes! Thank you Christian who is kind" said Nadine with a look on her face.

"It's not so! Try repeating it so..." Christian whispers something to Nadine and the girl laughs.

"No! I don't want to!" Reject the quick Nadine who was still laughing.

"Come on, just once! And my next honor goes to all of you," persuaded Christian to try to seduce Nadine.

"No! I don't want to!" Nadine still insisted

"Ooh! So mean. All right, I'll just go home, "Christian's on his way to Nadine's porch. The young man picked up his bag and immediately walked towards his motorbike.

Nadine followed Christian's steps.

Christian starts his bike and prepares to leave as Nadine whispers something in Christian's ear,

"Thank you for the gift of friendship, the husband-to-be" whispered a timid Nadine who immediately made Christian smile on his lips.

Christian looked once more at the face of Nadine who was now meeting red.

"Wife-to-be together, I'll go home first" said Christian, whispering slightly.

Nadine just nodded, and Christian immediately drove off his bike leaving Nadine's yard.
