Nastity

Chapters 20. Titi and Ari

Days pass by, bringing their own stories to every creature on earth.

Some go through the day feeling full of gratitude and joy, some feel sad and disappointed to live their lives.

Thankful, because the Almighty gives life to each of his creatures in accordance with what is outlined.

Living life in accordance with the guidelines and provisions.

Sadness and disappointment are felt, because what is obtained is not in accordance with the wishes, when the Power gives what is needed and not what is desired.

What you want, not necessarily the best according to what is needed.

Because God is all things, governing all the lives of his creatures.

We just need to be grateful for all the favors He gave.

Be patient with His test, be steadfast and reliable in living every phase of life, because God will not give trials beyond the limits of ability.

In living life, we only need to try, pray and surrender for all His provisions.

This morning, Titi will go to a Bank to make a bill withdrawal transaction.

Because the location of the Bank is far from Titi's office, and there are no operational vehicles, then Titi looking for Ari to ask for help delivered to the Bank.

Titi and Ari's relationship is getting closer, probably because Titi is good friends with Ana, so Ari can easily get close to Titi.

" An.ada Ari, huh? ask Titi to Ana, who is in the bag.

" There,.mbak, it's still home!

What's up, mbak?" answer and ask Ana

" There is a need, An.mbak want to take it to the Bank, Ari there is a motor right?" ask Titi again.

" There's mbak, call her bang Ari, most still sleeping in her room!" answer Ana again.

" Okay, An. Thank you!" titi.

Titi walked towards Ana's house, then she knocked on the half-open door.

Geck..

" Asalamualaikum's chat.." Titi said hi.

Someone stepped out of the kitchen.

" Waalaikumsalam warahmatullah." replied Ari while opening the door wide.

" Eh, ma'am, what's wrong with you in the morning, looking for Ana? Ana's gone to the cafeteria!" ari said to Titi.

" No, Ri, I need to be with you!" titi said.

Because Titi knows, Ari is younger than her, so Titi just calls Ari's name.

" Tumben, what is it gonna take, mbak?"

" There's a motor, Ri? want to ask for help to transfer to Bank BPD, want to pull a cheque!"

" There is, but a vespa motor, you want a?"

" Ga papa, deh..from the angkot ride, far away his Bank!"

" Yes, I'm ready first, I'll go to the office!"

" No, I'll be here, I'll get the bag first!"

Then, Titi goes to the office to pick up her bag, while Ari gets ready.

He took out the motor from inside the house, then prepared two helmets.

Ari also changed her clothes and pants with a neater one.

Before long, Titi came with her bag.

" Are you ready, Ri?" ask Titi

" Already, madam!" answer Ari

" Come on, we'll walk, we'll be early in the morning, let's get things done!" take Titi to Ari.

" Yuk, ma'am!" ari said while giving a helmet to Titi.

" This is his helmet, ma'am." Ari gave Titi a helmet.

Titi takes the helmet from Ari's hand, then wears it.

Once ready, they went to the bank using a motorbike.

Along the way, Ari invites Titi to chat, she tries to get more familiar with Titi.

" Tumben mbak to the bank riding a motorbike, usually delivered by car" said Ari.

" The car is used out of town, there is business there.

" Mom, can't you get Herman's wedding invitation the day after Saturday?" ask Ari.

" Yes, there was an invitation on the table" replied Titi.

" Mom wants to go? the bride-to-be's house is far away too!" ask Ari again.

" God willing, maybe go with Feni!" answer Titi again.

" But the show is night, and the place is far away, ma'am!" ari said.

" Yes, later ask other friends who want to come there, so they can be together." reply Titi.

Not feeling, because chatting all the way, they had reached the Bank.

Titi put the helmet on the rearview motorbike, then joined the queue at the bank.

After parking the bike, Ari came in following Titi.

Before long, Titi had finished her affairs at the Bank.

Ari picks up a motorbike in the parking lot, then approaches Titi who is waiting near the exit.

" We eat first yes, not far from here there is a simple restaurant, but the cuisine is good." Ari invited Titi.

Then Ari also gave a helmet to wear Titi.

" Alright, it's going to break too, then arrive at the office after the break!" Titi agrees to Ari's invitation.

Ari drove his motorbike towards the restaurant in question.

Until there is not too crowded, because it has not entered the break hours.

Titi chose a table near the window, it felt cooler because it was near a large tree.

Ari sat down in front of Titi, and she called the waiter.

Ari asked Titi, the food she was going to order.

" Want to eat with what side dishes, mbak? same drink, what?"

" I'm asking for grilled fish dishes, drink some warm fresh tea!"

" I, like the head of a fish, drink it the same, warm fresh tea!"

The waiter records their order, then asks them to wait a while.

" For a moment, ma'am, the order is prepared!"

The waiter went to prepare their order.

" Have often eaten here, how do you know that the food is good here?" ask Titi.

" Have been here a few times, initially invited by friends." replied Ari.

" Don't you ever eat here?" ask Ari anyway.

" Not yet, just this time, because it is rare to Bank BPD, usually in Bank Mandiri which is near the intersection of five" replied Titi.

" Kirain doesn't like it here" Ari said.

Before long, the waiter came to deliver their order, and set it on the table.

" Please, ma'am, mas!" the waiter said after putting the food on the table.

" Thank you!" titi said

Titi stood towards the sink to wash her hands.

" Don't eat with a spoon, mbak? Ari asked Titi.

" It's better to eat directly by hand, it's better!" reply Titi.

" This will be a fireball, no need to bother to the sink" said Ari again.

" To be satisfied and feel cleaner wash his hands, if in the cowboy is not satisfied, the cowboy is small!" titi explained.

Ari stood up and washed his hands in the sink.

" Aren't you using a spoon?"

" It's not, mbak.bak just like mbak."

They also began to enjoy the food that was served.

They seem to enjoy each other's food.

After finishing eating and taking a short break, they continued on their way back to the office.

This time, they didn't say much, probably because of the satiety after lunch.

Meanwhile, Titi felt sore waist because sitting sideways in the body of a large Vespa motor.

But Titi enjoyed her trip this time, for some reason, she felt comfortable while with Ari.

Ari, nice and connected when invited to chat, it's not stiff even though he knows Titi's age is older than him, and he appreciates Titi by calling "the broom" on Titi.
