The Heart of Raisya

Declaring love

Arriving at Sofi's house immediately rushed into my room. I'm going to be interrogated.

" Here you sit, your sister will listen to your story you cover."

" what the hell dik, mbak do not have a secret story really, what should mbak story to you hm?"

" That's Andi Andi that was, how could you never tell me if you were hanging out with someone again?"

" ooh, you know that Andi knows from the phone, just a chatmate, nothing special."

" Sure about it?"

" I'm sure, I just met the same person, know him sich already quite a long time.

"But I'm not sure mbak. I tuch saw earlier when Andi was eating mbak, differentit's like..."

" Different how does that mean?"

" There's something like that. I think he has the same crush, yes sich? mbak have never married you know, time' do not know the different views of people who are in love with ordinary people?

"Where would I dare to go against the deck?"

" Yes, ok ok do not have to see his view if what about his attitude when on the phone?

" yes to be honest, indeed he often connect first. Basa basi gives attention to that, but according to mbak it's natural because we're friends."

"Ah bad you mbak, it means that he does have the same taste mbak. Sofi sure dech anyway."

"If you think so, you didn't see the interaction, what is it according to my sister?

" emm, the guy seems like a good one, I just met him once, but from the way he said the guy was good but it seems like the aggressive type. Yes, the max is that he is not passive that mbak, likes to turn on the atmosphere. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes understand. So if for example one day he realises his feelings to mbak nih, not accepted?"

"Yes it's all up to mbak, mbak must know the best for yourself mbak itself, after all there is no harm in trying to accept the feelings of others mbak, so mbak not surprised if married again hehe. That's also if you have the same feeling. Cie, it's just that, there's starting to be a taste?"

"Kan nanya aja dik, yes already there gih back to his room mbak want bobo noon."

"This 2 o'clock may be bobo anyway, I'll still want a story.."

"Continue the malem story, thank you my beautiful sister has won me today."

"Yes together, tell me you want to call you mbak." Sofi spoke while running away from my room. I just shook my head to hear his chatter.

I admit since the meeting with Andi earlier, there is a different taste. Maybe I've started to like Andi or even more than just like her.

...****************...

one week after the meeting, Andi was texting me more and more. And just this afternoon when she called me she expressed her feelings for me.

flash back on

"Assalamu'alaikum, future teacher".Andi said from across the street.

"Wa'alaikum salutations."

"Oh anyway, start the recheck."

" mok rese sih Rai, I seriously lhoo. Rai please listen to me, can I speak from heart to heart to yours?" moode is serious.

"Well, did you talk about it?

"But this time the talk is more serious, sorry to say from the phone, because you are very difficult to meet again."

"Yes, please, if you want to talk, I'm ready to be a loyal listener."

"If I'm my girlfriend ready, aren't you Rai?"

" e.." when you want to answer andi cut "stop Rai do not answer first, I have not finished talking."

" okay continue." I said.

" Rai honestly I'm actually feeling the same you, I'm comfortable with you. You connect really when invited to chat, and again after meeting you I am more sure that I really like and love you. I'm not sure you'd accept my feelings, but I'd rather be honest even if I'm rejected than I'm silent and sorry."

seerrr. Just this time there was someone who expressed his feelings to me, I was confused. The rope I can't deny, my heart feels the same way.

" didn't you know my status at?

"Yes I know your status, and is there something wrong with my feelings? please forget about your status I have no problem with it, so you don't feel inferior. I can accept your past, now I ask if you have the same feelings as me?"

" hemm." I murmured, because I was actually shocked and embarrassed.

"Kok the answer is just hemm Rai? what is clear, dong, I do not want to misinterpret"

With a thumping heart and a stiff mouth, I answered her question again.

"emm, yes I have the same feeling, but I'm sorry I didn't dare to date like a kid today. Let our feelings flow as they are with a mutual commitment to heart . I'm still focused on my college, just two more smesters. But if you mind you can back off and we'll still be friends as usual, forget about our feelings before they go any further."

"No Rai I don't mind. What do you want me to do, so my feelings are accepted, right?"

" yes I accept."

"Thank God, thank you Rai"

" It's the same."

I hope my decision this time is not wrong.

flashback off

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Day after day we passed by paying attention to each other from the phone. After his declaration of love, we only met once in college, because I had started busy with PPL and seminars. Andi didn't bother about that. Andi is the youngest of six children, her father is dead. Two years older than me, he works in a car shop. And I just found out that Andi got my number from my college friend.

Ever since we decided to get into a relationship we changed calls, I called him a mas and he called me deck. There are no obstacles in our relationship, because we live casually. My parents also knew that if I had close friends, they didn't bother me. Seeing from my past that failed, they freed me to choose. After all, there has been no seriousness leading to marriage, Andi and I are still relaxed. I haven't introduced Andi to my parents, because I don't think it's time yet.

See you again sister, thank you for your support 😍🤗
