Noah ran out the school gate. He was quite happy waiting for someone to pick him up.
The school street was crowded by students who rode home on bicycles and motorcycles. And, some students who are still snacking on the edge of the road. So crowded and boisterous by their chatter.
While waiting for Brother Muha to come to pick him up, Noah bought Cimol. He lined up the snacks very well. A few minutes later, the streets were quiet and the merchants began to leave. Nuha began to calm down, "Kok Kak Muha long huh?" tanyakanya.
"Try her" Pinta Hawa.
Nuha took her phone in her bag, and Kak Muha made a call for her. Noah immediately raised the call.
"So long time?!", he replied directly.
"Nuha, wait. Shocked Brother first."
"Yes, okay. What's?"
Kak Muha explained that he could not pick up Nuha because he had to help the lecturer complete a Web design. So he sent Noah home by public transport instead of waiting.
But Noah refused. Because, Nuha never took the angkot and he was very afraid to ride the angkot if the angkot was dangerous and did not really deliver it home. Really, an out-of-the-box thought.
Even so, Brother Muha still forced Noah to go home to ride the angkot.
Noah was upset to hear the decision from his brother. He was disappointed that his brother could not pick him up. His face was thick and he kept stomping his feet on the road.
Arriving at the big road, he saw some students hanging out at the roadside stall. Noah was worried because not a single student was waiting for public transport. Luckily, there were two mothers who were also waiting for public transportation.
"Duh Hawa, I'm not used to taking public transport. Never even. I'm a little scared, how?"
"Udah calm down. Safe must be safe", Eve said to calm Noah.
A bus came, a mother who was waiting was riding the bus. With only one mother left, Noah wondered what the mother would ride later. He began to be unable to calm down.
There were no students waiting for public transport like Noah. Finally, the question that Noah was waiting for came. Noah remained silent in his place. And the mother started riding the angkot.
Suddenly two students who had been hanging out at the roadside stall came and started riding the angkot. It turned out that they were Dilan and Naru. Dilan immediately ambushed the angkot ride while Naru stopped lifting his legs because of a glimpse of Nuha. Yes, it was true that Noah was silent in his place.
"Noha, relax. The cargo has come" said Eve.
"Sir, so my angkot ride doesn't mbak?" ask the driver who saw Noah looking.
Finally Naru immediately grabbed the hand of Nuha and took her to ride the angkot together. At once, Nuha regained consciousness. "Udah bang, walk." Naru Pinta.
Nuha who was beginning to become fully aware instantly hysterically could not control her panic, "What?! I'm in angkot?! Can't! Can't! I don't want to go up in the mail! I'm afraid of riding an angkot!"
"Hoe?"
All the passengers were astonished to see the behavior of Noah, as well as Dilan. Noah continued to show his panic until his hands and feet continued to tremble.
"Calm down, Noah, calm down", Naru's pinta.
"You don't usually ride an angkot? Don't be afraid, there I am", Naru continues to calm her beloved Nuha.
It cannot be lied to that Noah was so afraid of taking public transport. He was afraid that the public transport would not bring him home but instead took him away, away from his home.
He watched a lot of passengers look at him. Even he was silent to see Dilan in front of him.
Noah set his eyes on the highway from behind the windshield. He remembered the road as the right and appropriate as the direction of the road he passed every day when he went and went home from school. However, it wasn't so long. It turned towards a road that Noah did not know. Noah began to panic.
"That's not the usual path. Naru, Naru! Where are we going?!! I want to go home"
"Geez this child".", Inner Naru.
Naru instantly shut both of Noah's mouths and tried to signal Noah to calm down, "Ssttt.. Nuha, relax. Why are you?!", whispered Naru.
"I want to go home, but the road is not through here. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we'll be kidnapped" said Noah, shedding tears of his culture.
"abducted? Hade.. Trust me, Noah. You can definitely go home, until home!", said Naru sure.
Noah did not understand, but eventually he began to fall silent and wait patiently that the angkot would take him where.
Finally, a directional alley towards Noah's house was visible. Noah immediately stopped him, "stop!!", said Noah loudly.
"And maybe next time I go to your house" said Naru, who suddenly took Noah's hand to come down from Angkot.
"What?! How are our duties?", Reply Dilan.
"Sorry, we'll call it tomorrow" Naru said casually as she gave a wave of goodbye to Dilan.
Angkot began to continue his journey.
...******"WHICH IS TRUE, YES!"******...
"Yay! Finally we can get home too! Yepoo!" Noah growled with pleasure.
"What are you doing here, Naru? Is your house here?", asked Noah innocently.
"She's really ungrateful," Naru replied as she chuckled around the place. He saw an ice shop and wanted to take Noah there.
Noah looked in that direction. He began to understand what Naru wanted to him.
"Okai, can I buy you some ice?"
"Well, that's the cake from earlier. Don't want what it was that nolongin who time in angkot."
Naru immediately took a step and took Nuha's hand, walking towards the ice shop.
"Excuse me"
Naru lowered her head while opening the banner that was blocking her.
Nuha's heart became pounding sitting next to Naru at the ice shop. He slightly glanced at Naru, but Naru appeared to be relaxed and cool.
"Who did Noah take? Very handsome", Praise the guy has a shop while putting two white ice scenes in front of him.
"Duh, Glare!", murmured Noah hysterically.
"Finished, buk"
"Temen?", asked Naru in disbelief.
Warung's mother just laughed appreciatively and left the two of them to take care of the other business.
"Thank you, Naru, you saved me again" said Nuha sincerely.
"Thank God"
"Thankfully there was you"
"Yes.huh baby"
"Eh? Honey what?", asked Noah.
"Honey you are" Naru replied honestly.
"Iiih!", Nuha immediately pinched Naru's hand, until Naru was shocked in pain.
"Adudamu..a sick to Noah!"
"It's all because of brother. Tau I'm afraid to ride the angkot even told to ride the angkot. Until I was embarrassed again in front of Naru", murmured Nuha.
Naru began to be astonished to see the strange behavior of Nuha. "Mom! Please request one glass of ice crystal yes ma'am", Pinta Naru. He understood that Nuha liked to chew on her habitual ice crystals when she was irritated.
Naru just continued to look at him happily and full of anxiety. While enjoying the ice, he continued to let Noah chew through the ice crystals he gave.
"Udah, done?", asked Naru casually.
"Huff! Udah!", Noah stood up and came out of the stall.
Naru immediately caught up with him after paying and thanked the stall mother.
Noah was like a drunken man because most were shaken by ice crystals, his body was shivering a little, his head was a little dizzy and his path was starting to unbalance.
"God. Nuha, here. Comehere"
And noha stopped. Naru approached him and put his jacket on to Noah.
"May I, hug you?", Pinta Naru.
Nuha was silent, little by little she brought her head closer to Naru's shoulder. Naru accepted it gently. Warmly hugged the head of Noah covered in his hood. For a few moments, for a few minutes.
"I love you, Noah. Can we be more than temen?"
Noah was speechless not wanting to answer, instead wanting to enjoy the comfort in Naru's embrace.
"Nuha, I've liked you for a long time. So, it's okay if this feeling should continue to hold my own. But, at least. Allow me to say it"
"Me-say what?"
"I like you. I'm in love with you"
"Deg!"
"Naroo.. I'm.."
Naru's heart was a little claustrophobic, she was worried that Nuha's answer would disappoint her. But he tried to accept that decision.
"Actually, I.."
"I like you too-But!", said Noah confidently but immediately interrupted his own words.
"But, what?"
"Me, I don't know what a date is, so what should it be?", replied Noah turning his face away in a soft voice.
"Thank God", Naru replied in relief.
"Eh?"
"I'm grateful you have the same feelings for me. That's more than enough for me, Noah"
"Is that really so?"
"Yes. Nor do I want you to be burdened with what is called love. So just stay on your own"
"Yes"
A moment of time gave time to Nuha and Naru, "What, is it better?", asked Naru.
Nuha nodded and released herself from Naru. He thanks Naru again and takes off Naru's jacket from her body.
"I-I'm home now yeah", said Nuha.
"Yes, alright", replied Naru while receiving her jacket.
"See you back at school?"
"Yes, see you soon"
Nuha and Naru threw each other a farewell smile. Nuha raised her hand and waved it to Naru. Naru accepted it with pleasure.
Naru was silent at the spot seeing the departure of Nuha who was getting away. The more distant and the more faint in his eyes.
"I feel like my time is so empty without you, Nuha."
