Take My Heart's

CONFIDENTIAL

"Lis, Grandma, we go home first" Daniel said farewell.

"Thank you Daniel, Nathan. You have brought me and my grandmother home" Khalisha said sincerely.

Daniel smiled at Khalisha. For some reason, his eyes seemed reluctant to take his eyes off Khalisha's face. He himself is still confused with himself. Ever since meeting Khalisha, his face kept on pestering his mind. Often he daydreams about his figure, even misses him. In fact, Khalisha is not a girl with makeup polish like girls who chase her. She appeared modest with a naturally beautiful face, although there was no smile on her lips. But still, that face is always imagined.

"Yuk, Niel, we're home!" take Nathan to break Daniel's daydream. He also drove his bike slowly leaving Khalisha's house.

Nathan's motorbike that began to move away made his vision switch on his motorbike. With a heavy heart, he drove his motorbike away from Khalisha's house.

"Yeah, Grandma, we're in!" bring Khalisha. Tiredness makes him want to shower immediately and rest his body on the mattress.

Grandma turned and walked into the house. The sweat that soaked her body made Grandma want to take a shower immediately. However, before grandma stepped into the bathroom, she thought of Daniel.

"Lis, sit here!" pinta granny patted the seat slowly on the dining table.

Although confused, Khalisha also obeyed the words of her grandmother. He sat down next to Grandma.

"What's up, Grandma?" ask without looking at grandma. He then took a glass and poured water on the kettle.

"Where is your relationship with Daniel, Lis?" ask grandma curious.

"Well, Grandma" answered Khalisha honestly.

"Is your relationship with Daniel the same, Lis?"

"Yes of course, Grandma. I was his assistant. What does Grandma want my relationship with Daniel to be like?" khalisha asked confused. I don't usually want to know about Daniel's relationship.

"Don't you feel the same way, Daniel, Lis? Grandma saw that Daniel's son was a good man."

"I mean, Grandma? I don't understand it at all" asked Khalisha, still confused by her grandmother's question. His increasingly dry throat made him immediately gulp down the water he had poured in the glass.

Grandma sighed. "I mean that Grandma, you like it the same kid Daniel? Daniel's son is a good guy, Lis. Grandma can be relieved that you're dating her."

Khalisha coughed at her grandmother's words. Never once did he think that one day grandma would ask things related to her feelings.

"If you drink it slowly, Lis. A swipe will happen," said the grandmother as she patted Khalisha on the back.

"Sir, how do I not sprain if Grandma nanyanya so," said Khalisha, then back to drink so that the itching in her throat is gone.

Grandma looked inside her grandson, then sighed again. Grandma could understand that Khalisha was unaware of the attention that Daniel was giving her. During this time, Khalisha always shut herself away from others. Let alone thinking of having a girlfriend, just being friends, for him it takes years.

"Don't you see Daniel's attitude toward you, Lis? Daniel's son is very considerate of you. His attention was not just a concern between the employer and his assistant. I think, Daniel's son likes you, Lis, "grandmother said.

"That's just how Grandma feels. How could Daniel like Lisha. Granny is, " said Khalisha in disbelief, "already, Grandma. Don't talk about that! After all, Lisha still wanted to focus on learning. Grandma's better take a shower first. Grandma's body stinks."

Grandma can't say anything anymore. Grandma got up and immediately stepped into the bathroom. Actually, grandma could have guessed that Khalisha would not believe her words. But somehow, grandma felt sure that Daniel liked Khalisha. And even if that were true, grandma would definitely be the first one to bless their relationship. Recalling her blessing, Khalisha began to become an open girl.

Khalisha is still faithfully sitting at the dinner table. His conversation with grandma continued to ring in his mind. He felt that would not be possible. Daniel wouldn't like a poor girl like him. However, as his grandmother said, he also felt that the attention given by Daniel did not look like the attention of the employer to his assistant, but like someone he liked.

"What is true Grandma said? But that's not possible. Did Daniel like me?" ask in the heart.

On the other hand, Nathan finally stopped the pace of his motorbike in his yard. His body that smelled from sweat made him want to immediately go inside his house to take a bath. He removed the helmet on his head and got off his bike. However, before stepping into the house, his two eyes stared in shock at the figure behind him.

"Daniel?!" shocks surprised.

Daniel took off the helmet on his head. Both of his eyes were staring in shock around him. Because he was not focused, he even drove his motorbike to get to Nathan's house.

"Well, you're here? Instead of going home, to my house" Nathan asked.

"Eh, yes. Why am I even sitting here, huh?" daniel scratched his un-itchy head.

Nathan stared strangely at his friend's behavior. "You're weird, Niel. You're here, you're the one."

Daniel smiled lightly laughing at his own stupidity. He has never been this silly.

"Wouldn't you go home? If you don't go home, let's go in! We'll talk inside," Nathan asked.

"Can we just talk about it here?" daniel asked doubtfully. Because he was already at Nathan's house, it crossed his mind to reveal anything that disturbed his mind. He hoped that this would reduce the burden of his mind.

"I was confused with myself" Daniel said at last.

"Well, the stupidity of Daniel can be confused with himself" joked Nathan, "are you really confused why?"

"If I speak, you don't laugh" Daniel said hesitantly.

Nathan laughs at Daniel's words, leaving Daniel confused. This was the first time he had ever seen the other side of Daniel.

"What are you laughing at?" ask Daniel to be upset.

"It's really not like you, Niel. The Daniel I knew was never confused to the point of straying into my house. Moreover, confiding in me like this, it is not possible," Nathan explained stopping his laughter.

"You are, Than. I'm confused again, even mated."

"You want to tell me what I am. Buruan, yes! I don't have much time."

"Not yet to vent, have been playing throw away," said Daniel snorting annoyed.

"What do you want to confide in?" nathan asked, beginning to wonder. Rarely did he see Daniel talking about himself.

"Actually I was confused, why do I keep looking at her face? Not at home, not at school, his face was everywhere. If it's far from him, it feels like something's missing. I don't know what happened to me. I feel like I want to keep sticking with him" Daniel said.

Instead of responding, Nathan laughed again at Daniel's words. He becomes more and more convinced that Daniel is in love with someone.

Daniel snorted annoyedly at Nathan. Instead of giving a solution to the problem, he laughed at himself.

Looking at Daniel's expression that was getting angry at him, Nathan immediately stopped his laughter. "Daniel, Daniel, I think you're going to tell me what. Turns out it was, yeah. You've fallen in love with your maid Khalisha"

Daniel was shocked to hear that. All this time he had never told Nathan anything and everything else, but Nathan could guess the person he was referring to.

"Fell in love?" daniel asked confused.

"Yes, Niel. I think you're in love with Khalisha."

Daniel remained silent. He seemed to think of Nathan's words. Falling in love, maybe those two words are indeed appropriate to describe his current feelings. Moreover, he had never been in love with any girl. And just this time, he felt a strange feeling towards someone.

"You're a deketin Khalisha. Make him like you" Nathan suggested.

"Decopy him? How's it going?" tanyanya's confused.

Nathan took a long breath. It's hard to talk to someone who's first in love. It seemed, he had to give Daniel a lot of advice, especially on his nature.

"What, cake. Think for yourself! He's your maid, so there are many ways to make him deketin," Nathan said. Not that he did not want to give an idea to Daniel, for now he is very lazy to think, let alone think of the love of others. He himself still has no partner.

Daniel took a breath. What Nathan said is true. He had already made Khalisha his assistant, it must have made it easier for him to approach Khalisha.

"But how do you know that the girl I like is Khalisha? I never talked to you" asked Daniel curiously.

"Bell, Niel. Without you talking, from your behavior, I, Andhika, just Bayu can already guess if you like Khalisha."

Daniel was embarrassed to hear it. He did not expect that his attitude towards Khalisha could make his best friend know about his feelings. Even himself was too late to know.

"Aren't there any more people to talk about?" nathan asked as he wiped the sweat that was running back on his forehead, "if there isn't, go home! I'm gonna take a shower, right. My body is all smelly and all sticky."

"You're driving me out?"

"Yes, I'm kicking you out. I think what's going on, turns out to be venting," Nathan said rather mocking.

"Yes, yeah, I'm home now. Thanks for letting me know, "Daniel said, then put on his helmet and turned on the engine.

"Other times if you want to vent, find some free time. Don't run out like this. I'm tired. Where can think to help you," said Nathan sulked.

Daniel smiled a little. He took his motorcycle out of Nathan's house. There was a relief he felt after letting out the feeling he had been craving all along. His mind was empty without any burden. Maybe what he should think about now is the way to get Khalisha's heart. Since Khalisha is not an open woman, it will definitely be difficult for her to conquer her heart.
