Dreettt,,, dreettt,,, uh,,,
My phone kept vibrating indicating someone was calling me but I chose to ignore it. I don't want to lose Chaira's figure. At first I wanted to take my car but when I saw him walking towards the bus stop not far from the campus gate I broke my intention.
I got on the bus just after Chaira got on first. He stood in the middle holding a circle of iron that was prepared for the passengers who stood to hold. I immediately took a place near him standing. Today the bus is crowded with passengers until there are no empty seats left. It's my first time on a bus and I can't figure out how I'm here right now.
The bus started walking and stopped back when it reached the next stop. None of the passengers got off but the passengers increased. The bus is getting crowded. This made us passengers start to stand close together.
Deeggg,,, uh,,,
My heart felt like jumping out when the bus braked and made Chaira almost fall but I managed to hold it with my body. The hijab girl was leaning on my body. Quickly realizing he was clinging to me he immediately pulled his body
"sorry" softly her voice sounded back to me
"It's okay" I smiled
Chaira simply nodded her head and threw her gaze out the window. A moment later he turned his head back towards me who immediately pretended to look out
"you???What are you doing here??" tannya
Apparently he just realized that I was Darren a rich student who wasn't supposed to be on this crowded bus.
"sir, akk, akk, I got on the bus" I stuttered but I made it as cool as possible to answer. I suddenly felt stupid not knowing what my own purpose was to ride this bus.
I looked at Chaira's eyes that were shining with curiosity but not a word was spoken from her lips. Next stop he went down.
"Chai, I'm coming down with you" I pulled out her hand which she immediately shook.
"ohh sorry" I who realized that he did not want to be touched immediately apologized
Chaira shut up and got off. I followed him until he sat on the bus stop. I still stand looking at him
"What do you want? " tanyanya
"Ak, I ask you to please accompany me here until my friend comes to pick me up" I asked politely
Chaira furrowed her brows.
"Be, bag, look, Chai, I don't usually take a cab. I'll just call my friend" I explained
"you can take the bus why not just continue your journey and choose to get off here? you can also take the bus why you can't take a taxi" Chaira's innocent question felt more and more stupid to me
Don't want to seem any more stupid I immediately picked up my phone and sent my location to Dion to get him to pick me up. Dion without much question immediately agreed. I asked him to pick me up alone.
Chaira still looked at me in astonishment. I sat next to him. He moved his seat further away from me.
" Caira, my name is D, "I'm not going to continue because he answered
"i know" he answered
" Oh so yeah, "I scratched my head that wasn't itchy
Chaira just kept looking at me with that look of her.
" Chai, stop looking at me like that!!! " i cried and it turned out that it was able to make his eyes blink a few times
"What are you really doing here?" ask her again while looking down no longer looking at me. I smiled to see him bow down in such shame
"Willfully follow you" I answered honestly
Chaira was surprised to hear it and looked back at me.
"you mean? " he asked again but I didn't answer because Dion had arrived. He honked the car horn calling me and I immediately replied with a wave of my hand. I looked at Chaira back
"do you want me to take you?" ask softly
Chaira just shook her head slowly. I don't want to force him even though I really want to drive him so I know where his house is.
"All right, I go first" I said
"Assalamu'alaikum" Chaira said hello to me
I who was about to step back turned my body to look at him who was already standing. Chaira waited for her greeting.
"Wa, wa, wa, waalaikum, sa, sa, sa, salam" I answered in a brick because I was not used to saying greetings all this time
Chaira again cupped her hands together and lowered her head. I was the one who awkwardly followed her movements. Chaira turned her body and walked away from me. Then called a rickshaw.I was silent and fixated there. Dion who had been paying attention seemed to be astonished by my attitude. He went back to honking and made me realize. I'll be heading for the car soon.
"follow him" I said
Dion did not answer and just gawked at me who was busy installing the seat belt. I realized this car never walked to look at Dion who was still gawking at me without blinking
"Ayooo,, hunt,,, hunt loses track!!!! " i re-ruled him and this time he was caught passing his teeth.
I asked Dion to keep our car and the rickshaw Chaira was riding. Several times Dion asked me what my purpose was to follow Chaira but I asked her to shut up because I wanted to focus on seeing where Chaira was going. I don't want to lose track of him.
The rickshaw that Chaira boarded stopped right in a house whose yard was shady because it was overgrown with a large mango tree with various other ornamental plants. A middle-aged woman who was also veiled came out to greet him. Soon they both entered the house.
"Sorry mom, I want to ask who is home? " i asked to point to the house that Chaira entered to a mother who was carrying her child.
I decided to get out of the car and approach the woman who was standing not far from my car. The woman looked at me from top to bottom back up again. It seemed that he was astonished to see a handsome man descending from a luxurious car in the area. The place was more like a village filled with immigrants. Far from clean words even tend to smell a little.
"the house of Fatimah's mother, she is a one-child widow" he replied in a half-snout tone as he called the widow
"what's the name of his son? " just ask again
"Chaira, who is this?" her husband began to suspect
"Not who" I replied briefly and immediately left the mother but I paused my intention. I went back to that mother.
"Mom, this is me there's some money.if mom wants me to be able to increase the amount again as long as mom wants to tell me about Fatimah's mom's family" I said to the woman who immediately sparkled to see some money in my hand. The woman took me to her house but I refused to see her house, I didn't want to go in. I asked her to change clothes immediately and come with me. The woman did not refuse at all. With a ssgera he changed his clothes and his son's clothes then locked the door of the house and followed me into the car.
Dion was more astonished to see me taking a woman with the typical appearance of my mother into my luxury car. I ordered Dion to take us to a fast food restaurant because I was getting hungry.
