"Why are we here? Your birthday is over" asked Khalisha in confusion.
Daniel smiled slightly at Khalisha. "Alas I have to have a birthday first, can I invite you here? That's not the case, Lis. I am bored at home. It's okay if I invite you here?"
"It's okay. It's just weird."
"Weird why?" daniel asked confused.
"Why did you take me? Why not invite your friends?"
"Well, how else. I want to walk with you, not with them" he replied casually.
Khalisha rounded her lips to form the letter "o". He no longer asks. He chose to obey Daniel's wishes. Protesting or not, he could do nothing.
Actually, he didn't understand what Daniel was thinking. Usually on Sunday morning, he will accompany the grandmother selling around. However, early in the morning he was surprised by the arrival of Daniel in his house. Without his consent, Daniel immediately asked his grandparents for permission to take him for a walk. To make matters worse, his grandparents agreed. They even looked happy to see him go.
"Do you like it when I take a walk here?" daniel asked with an eye toward the beauty of the lake.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't like this place. Although it is crowded here, but when I see this lake, my heart is very calm. It feels peaceful," replied Khalisha also looked at the beauty of the calm lake.
"That means if I invite you here often, you want to?" ask Daniel in curiosity.
Khalisha looked at Daniel. Instead of answering immediately, he was confused. He did not understand Daniel's question.
Daniel looked at Khalisha. The longer he felt, the deeper he got. The two together with Khalisha made her feel comfortable. He had never felt this way before other than being with Khalisha.
"Lise!" call slowly.
Khalisha regressed from her daydream. His eyes focused on Daniel. But for some reason, Daniel's eyes made his heart beat fast. He hastily adjusted his breathing to reduce his heartbeat.
Daniel who never got an answer was of course made to wonder. Maybe other girls will immediately accept the invitation, but it does not apply to Khalisha. Instead of directly accepting his invitation, he instead looked confused.
"You why? Bengong? Think again what? Was my word exaggerated? Don't you want me to come here often?" tanyanya.
"No, not so," Khalisha replied in error. He was confused as to how to explain it to Daniel.
"Trus, what do you think dong is? If you don't like me taking a walk here, you say so. I'm okay" said Daniel somewhat disappointed.
Khalisha regulated her breathing, rather trying to gather her courage. "sorry. I have absolutely no intention of offending you. It's not that I refuse if you want to invite me to come here often. That's your right. As your servant, of course I will obey your words. But, I hope you'll understand that I'm not unemployed at home. I also have other responsibilities, like helping my grandparents."
Daniel understood Khalisha's words. He also knew that Khalisha had her own job at home. Although he was disappointed that Khalisha still considered him his master, at least he was happy that Khalisha did not reject his invitation.
"That means, you want dong often I take a walk here?" tanyanya. It'sit's nothing. Fearfully, he was too hopeful.
"If I have finished my work at home. I don't have the heart to let grandpa and grandma do it all."
Hearing it made Daniel's heart beat. Khalisha, who did not reject his invitation, made a memory in this lake, a happy memory together with the people he liked. But it seems, he has to fight harder to make Khalisha like him.
He then spread his gaze. His gaze was instantly focused in one direction. Without saying anything, he stepped away from Khalisha.
Khalisha stared at Daniel's loss. He didn't understand why Daniel just left him. Not wanting to be alone in a place he did not know, he also intends to follow Daniel. However, when he noticed the direction of Daniel's goal, he finally decided to undo his intention. He breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Daniel left him alone. Apparently, Daniel went to the stall. Maybe he felt hungry, so he left without saying anything to her.
His eyes looked back at the lake. The calm lake really made it peaceful. Perhaps it was also because of the feeling of peace that made Daniel often go to this lake, although he knew other reasons.
Khalisha was surprised. So excited to enjoy the beauty of the lake, he was not aware of the arrival of Daniel.
"Hey, I told you to eat and stingy" said Daniel.
"You know that I haven't eaten yet" Khalisha said. He took a packet of bread and ate it. His stomach was very hungry. Early in the morning Daniel had come to pick her up, making her forget breakfast.
Daniel smiled at Khalisha. Khalisha seemed to be eating the bread she bought, making her look even more adorable. From the way he ate, he could guess that Khalisha was very hungry. How not. At seven o'clock in the morning he parked his motorcycle in front of Khalisha's house. Usually on Sundays, people will choose to laze around. Especially for school children like himself and Khalisha who must wake up early to go to school, will definitely feel happy and lazy at home on holidays.
"Sneakers eat! The bread is still a lot, really," he reprimanded.
Khalisha immediately swallowed the bread in her mouth. "It's all because of you. Early in the morning they brought me here. I haven't even eaten at all."
Hearing Khalisha's angry tone made Daniel feel guilty as well as sorry. He may have made a bad impression on Khalisha. He was approaching Khalisha. He should have made a good impression on her.
"Sorry." Only that word was heard from his mouth.
"It's okay" Khalisha said. He took a bag of bread and opened it. "Here, eat! You are the one who bought this bread, when I ate alone. You should also accompany me to eat."
Instead of taking the bread, Daniel smiled. His heart was very happy to get the attention of Khalisha. Honestly, he was very hopeful that this attention could be a sign that Khalisha was opening her heart.
"Why not take? Do you not like bread? Why did you buy so much bread?" ask Khalisha.
Daniel's hand took the bread that Khalisha had already opened. With eyes still on Khalisha, he ate slowly. It's beyond a doubt. He did not expect if his decision to take Khalisha for a walk to his favorite lake brings its own blessings to his mind. I really want him to stop time. He did not want this happy moment to pass quickly.
"What if we look around there?" daniel asked enthusiastically, "there's a favorite place of people. I want to take a picture of you there."
Khalisha looked in the direction Daniel pointed. Justright. There are many people who take pictures there, especially couples.
"alright. We go there," he replied in agreement. He does not want to disappoint Daniel who looks enthusiastic, maybe more precisely afraid of being left alone.
They finally went to the place where Daniel wanted to go. There are a lot of people passing there. They don't look around them at all. They seem to be happy to take pictures in certain places.
Quickly, Daniel picks up his new android and turns on the flat object's screen. Unknowingly, Daniel embraces Khalisha to get closer to her. With a smile on her lips, she photographed herself and Khalisha several times.
"Have photos?" khalisha asked suddenly.
"Already, Lis," he replied happily.
"If so, can you please let go of your hand?"
Daniel let go of his hand. With an innocent smile, he said, "Sorry, yes. I'm too excited to take a picture with you."
For some reason, hearing that, there was a red hue visible on Khalisha's cheeks. His feelings became unbecoming. He had never felt this feeling before.
Daniel is engrossed in looking at his photos along with Khalisha. Without a second thought, he made one of the photos as his android wallpaper.
"Good photo as well. Though not yet established, but the photo even looks like a lover. May it come true," his mind pleased.
