Never Go Back

Not According to Plan

"Where are you going, Ai..?" alya asked when she saw her sister was seen dressed neatly and fragrant.

"Definitely want to meet Erin,mmmh." said Alya again before Aika had time to answer questions from him.

"That's it Brother already knows,hee.. Brother, I want to go first.." Aika immediately said goodbye to Alya while kissing the back of her hand, not forgetting she also said goodbye to her pony-in-arms Syira who was in Alya's arms at that time.

"Dedek Syira wants to nitip what, honey..? Later Aunt buyin.." asked Aika by mimicking the voice like a child.

"Dedek Syira wants milk Aunty, hehee." replied Alya representing her daughter with a smile.

"Yes later in buyin, Brother want what nitip..? Later let me all shop right back home." asked Aika staring at Alya who seemed to be thinking.

"Mmm, there doesn't seem to be any Ai, there's everything. Only Syira's milk will run out." replied Alya..

"Ohh, if so I'll go first, brother.. Daa da Syira.." said Aika who immediately pinched Syira's cheek with an anxious feeling.

"Be careful Auntie, daa daa.." said Alya while raising Syira's hand and waving it to Aika who was already outside. Aika who saw that smiled and returned a wave of the hand from her father.

After a dozen minutes of travel, Aika has now arrived in front of Erin's house. His arrival was immediately greeted warmly by Ermi, the mother of Erin who had just finished her dinner.

"Let's go in Aika, have you eaten..? I just finished dinner." asked Ermi's mother who immediately invited Aika to sit down.

"Yes Mom, I ate this. Oh, ma'am, where is Erin..? Is it in her room..?" asked Aika who did not see Erin's figure in the room.

"Erin's been gone since, I thought I'd go with you. Because when Erin wanted to leave, Mom was in the bathroom." said Ermi's mother while taking a breath, She now realized that her daughter must have gone with her friends.

"Ohh that way, yes Ma'am is okay, if that's what I say first because there is still business." said Aika who got up from her seat, then kiss the back of Ermi's mother's hand and walk out of the house.

"Why didn't Erin tell me she wanted to go, ummh.." murmured Aika inwardly, she had not told Erin herself before that she wanted to come to the house and take her to dinner. Because Aika deliberately wanted to surprise, but the person who wanted to meet was already gone first.

"Tumben you're here, Ai..?" ashika asked when she saw her best friend standing in front of the boarding door.

"Well, Shik, I can't come here..?" sahut Aika who actually asked Ashika who only smiled seeing Aika's face turned sullen.

"Yes, I mean, I don't usually mean you come here unless there's an important need or work.." said Ashika who followed the steps of Aika who first sat on the sofa while putting a package containing food.

"Yes, if so, I'll go back to the house." said Aika with her face bent.

"You don't want to bargain for me, Ai..? Eat your own meal, ummh." said Ashika who saw Aika was engrossed in enjoying the food she brought, without offering it to her.

"Yes, if you want to eat. Time must be used in bargain anyway, like anyone else.." said Aika while chewing the food in her mouth.

Without waiting for long, Ashika also enjoyed the food on the table. "Keep why Ai, you suddenly came here..? Not usually tuh.." asked Ashika who was still curious, with what brought Aika to come to the boarding.

"I was going to invite Erin to dinner together, I deliberately did not tell her to let it look like a little surprise.. Ehh, I don't know if he went to his friend's house, wanted to go home. So, yes, I've come here,hee.." said Aika while smiling a little.

"Ohh, so you came to my hostel just because there was no other choice, you know..!" ashika exclaimed who immediately pinched Aika's cheek..

"It's okay Shik, so you have a friend to talk to. Instead of you alone in the boarding house, dumbstruck not clearly think of Beny, hehehee.." ledek Aika who immediately made Ashika momentarily silent, after hearing Aika's words to him.

"Why are you, Shik..? Did I misspoke..?" asked Aika who was instantly aware of Ashika's current change.

"Hahh, not Ai.. Yes, I've been to the back for a while to grab some drinking water, you must be thirsty." said Ashika as she got up from her seat, then walked towards the kitchen.

Aika who saw that just fell silent with a question in her mind, "Ashika why huha..? Like there's something going on with him, but what..?" ask Aika in your heart.

Not long after, Ashika came out with two glasses of water in a tray. "Sorry Ai, there is only water. I still haven't had time to shop because." said Ashika while giving a glass of water to Aika..

"It's okay Shik, if that's all we go shopping.. Because Alya's sister also bought milk for Syira.." said Aika to Ashika who just smiled and nodded her head.

After all the food brought by Aika was exhausted, the two were getting ready to go to a convenience store that was not far from the boarding house where Ashika lived. Although in a not so pleasant mood, they try to enjoy those moments by shopping for items that both want.

"Oh yes Shik, where is your ring..? How come it doesn't look anymore..?" aika asked as she glanced at Ashika's fingers that looked empty without any circular ring.

"Ohh, that's why I kept the ring, for fear of being lost again. Because it was the time the bath had fallen, but fortunately I know,hee.." Ashika's real lie He did not want anyone to feel suspicious or question about the ring he was wearing.

"Ohh, so that's Shik, but it's okay to keep it. Instead of going loose and lost, yes let's go there.." invite Aika who immediately pulled Ashika's hand to follow her to another place.

"Thank God Aika believes in my answer and doesn't ask any more questions about the ring." Ashika muttered with a sigh of relief. Because he does not want his engagement to Beny known by anyone, including Aika his best friend...

Seriate...
