Take My Heart's

NEMPEL

Daniel traced the school hallway with steps made as slow as possible. An unceasing smile fell on his lips. This morning he started his day happily. Early in the morning he was standing in front of Khalisha's house, inviting the idol to go together to school.

Lots of eyes pointing at him. However, Daniel is not his name if he feels uncomfortable with such circumstances. His face looks ordinary. He doesn't care about them at all.

The same is true with Khalisha. He felt uncomfortable with that unusual look. Some looked at him in awe because not many people managed to walk along with the cold Daniel, but unfortunately, most of them just stared at envy and dislike him. Because many approached Daniel, but only Khalisha who they considered not to be that level can conquer the heart of Daniel.

"Daniel, let go of my hand! You're not ashamed of what you saw?" whispered Khalisha ashamed.

Instead of letting go of his hand, Daniel tightened his hand.

"Daniel, take my hand!" pinta Khalisha is back.

"No way" Daniel refused.

"Not want to? You're not ashamed of this spectacle?"

"Why should I be ashamed?" daniel asked, looking intently at Khalisha, "i'll just hold your hand, not do anything profane."

"But I'm ashamed to be such a spectacle."

"Don't mind them! Look at me!" he said, "i've been looking forward to these moments. Go to school with my girlfriend, eat together, date. Anyway today I want to stick with you."

Khalisha laughed a little at it. "If you stick with me, how will you get into class? Can't you get into my class?"

Daniel breathed a heavy sigh. If he could choose, he would follow wherever Khalisha went.

"If I had this school, I would have asked to change classes" he muttered, which Khalisha could still hear, making Khalisha shake her head.

"You are strange, Daniel," Khalisha smiled.

"Any?! I'm weird what?"

"Yes very strange. I think in school we like a lot of you, but why did you choose me? You know for yourself that I lack a lot. Less beautiful, less rich, less everything anyway" Khalisha said.

Daniel stopped his footsteps, then stared fixedly at Khalisha. "Why do you say that? Listen up, Lis! I don't care at all, want you poor, not beautiful. In my eyes, you are a special girl. You are good, independent, willing to work hard, the main thing is that you do not see people from the outside. That's what makes me like you. I don't care what other people see me. Most importantly, you are always by my side. I want you to like me, like I like you."

Khalisha was deeply moved to hear Daniel's words. He was really grateful to have been met with a man who was sincere to him. He never thought if the guy in front of him could open his heart that was closed.

"Thank you. Thanks a lot, Daniel. I'll learn to like you completely, just as you like me."

"Liking me completely? That means you already like me dong, Lis?" daniel smiled.

Khalisha turned her face away. He didn't want Daniel to see his red face.

"Well, right, Lis? You actually like me too, don't you," teased Daniel.

Not yet satisfied with tempting Khalisha, Nathan, Andhika, and Bayu suddenly come to him. Daniel snorted annoyedly at the sight of his three companions. He still wants to be alone with Khalisha, but there are already bullies coming.

"Why are you guys here?" daniel asked coldly.

"Oh my goodness, Niel. Just come here too, it's just a face," said Nathan, "oh yeah, it must be your girl Khalisha. I'm Nathan Daniel's best friend."

Nathan then reached out his hand, about to shake hands with Khalisha, but was immediately pushed aside by Daniel.

"Not hold on!"

"All you can hold Khalisha is just me" said Daniel firmly.

"That's very true, Niel. We are the law. Just contact time cannot. I don't have a crush on your boyfriend either."

"It can't be. Khalisha is mine."

Andhika and Bayu chuckled at him. For many years they were friends, only this time they saw the other side of Daniel. Daniel, who is cold and stupid with his surroundings, now looks possessive. Even from afar, they could see Daniel's romantic attitude towards Khalisha.

"Lis, is your tumben still here? Usually already in class," said Mayang just came.

Khalisha turned her head in shock towards Mayang. So excited to see the debate between the two friends, he was not aware of the arrival of the girl he had considered as his best friend.

"May, have you come?" tanyanya's confused.

Mayang accidentally saw Daniel's hand holding Khalisha's.

"You two are dating?" the question just escaped his mouth.

"Yes, we're both dating." It was not Khalisha who answered, it was Daniel. While Khalisha, he looked shocked, not knowing what to say.

Mayang was certainly surprised to hear that. He had long suspected that Daniel liked Khalisha. However, he did not expect that Daniel would really be with Khalisha. On the one hand, he was happy with their relationship, but on the other hand, he was worried about his best friend. All he knew was that many girls were trying to get close to Daniel. He was only afraid that some of the girls were jealous and did nothing to Khalisha.

"Are you two really being?" tanyanya.

"Yes, I'm the same Khalisha as I was," Daniel replied.

"When? You're not telling me the same story, Lis? I am your best friend. Don't you think of me as your best friend?" mayang asked pretending to be upset.

"No, it's not, May," Khalisha said, "I've considered you my best friend."

"Trus why don't you tell me?"

Khalisha took a breath. "Where do you want a story, it was just yesterday."

"Oh, so it was just yesterday," Bayu chirped suddenly.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Congratulations, Niel. Finally you make it too," said Andhika happily, "I hope you both last, well if you can get married."

"Yes, may your relationship reach the marriage stage" said Bayu smiling.

"Amen. May your prayers be answered quickly" said Daniel casually, then glanced at Khalisha, "tuh, dengerin, Lis! Yesterday I got married, you kicked me out."

Khalisha pinched Daniel's hand. He was ashamed of what Daniel said.

"Ouch. hurts, Lis. How did you pinch me, anyway? You should accept their prayer" Daniel asked, rubbing his sick hand. Khalisha really pinched him with all her might.

"Eatya, if you talk, do not just play the game. Just yesterday, I got married. Is marriage easy? Graduating High School has not, has been playing all marriages," Khalisha's nagging.

Daniel laughed a little. In her eyes, the upset Khalisha looked extremely adorable. Mayang, Nathan, Bayu, and Andhika. They were equally caught up with the newly-created couple.
