Drrrt drrt
The sound of Gio's cell phone ringing against the glass table disturbed his sleep. With a blink of his eyes, Gio felt his body being crushed by something. After gathering his consciousness, Gio looked at Ara who was also asleep in his arms. Gio's gaze was shifted on the phone that had vibrated earlier. Gio slowly grabbed his phone then shifted the green button to receive a call from his best friend.
"Where lo. I've already plastered you wait here", spray from across after the call is connected.
Gio slightly kept the phone away from his ear as the voice of the toa from across there entered impolitely into his sense of hearing.
"Apartment", said Gio briefly with a distinctive hoarse sound of waking up.
"Lo said he's going to practice today. Lah this I wait until 2 hours you have not come too", annoyed Arsal.
Despite coming from abroad, Gio has promised his best friend to practice basketball today because he has not played for a long time and he almost forgot about it. Gio glanced at the wall clock and precisely showed it at 4pm.
"Sound.….", Ara's sigh was suddenly interrupted.
"Ssttttt.", Gio patted Ara's back hoping for the girl to fall back asleep but unfortunately his attempt failed, Ara already rubbed her eyes trying to collect her life.
"Heh. What else do you do ? Whose voice was it, Gio?", asked from across the street when he suddenly heard a girl's voice.
"Lo don't be weird yeah, you want to be hanged by dad. That's the kid who Gio is, you don't fuck around. Dare ya lo now..", Arsal cerocos from across the street which unfortunately immediately cut off because of Gio who said quickly.
"Wait, I'm there now" said Gio immediately disconnected the phone without answering Arsal's question.
After putting down his phone, Gio turned to look at Ara who opened her eyes trying to collect her life.
"You take a shower, come with me" said Gio staring at Ara who was also directly staring at him.
"Where?", asked Ara. The girl rested her head on Gio's chest, looking for comfort.
"Exercise" says Gio.
"What's wrong?", asked Ara again.
"Sir papa. Gih took a bath" said Gio then moved to sit up to make Ara's body also lifted.
Ara swallowed her saliva lamented, this close distance is too intimate for her and it is not good for her heart health. Don't let that heartbeat be heard by Gio. Stifling nervously half-dead, Ara tried to return Gio's gaze.
"You go first, I'm easy" said Ara, shuffling down from Gio's lap.
Gio just nodded then rattled Ara's hair slowly and went inside her room. But not enough 3 steps, the man turned back and pulled Ara to come with him.
"Where are you going?", asked Ara.
"The room" Gio replied lightly.
"Why do you want?", asked Ara again.
"Ngapain is good", said Gio looking at Ara with a ignorant look and a slanted smile.
"Ngeselin", upset Ara while hitting Gio's arm making the man chuckle softly.
"You wait here, I take a shower first" Gio said after the two reached the room. Ara nodded and let Gio into the bathroom.
"Gio, I got you a shirt", cried Ara after Gio disappeared behind the bathroom door.
"Yes", said Gio by shouting as well.
After that, Ara walked towards the man's closet and opened it. Ara was slightly astonished by what she saw, the male clothes were almost black, white, and gray. There is no light color like blue or green. There are only calm and dark colors. There are a lot of hoodies and hats in that big closet.
Not knowing which one to choose, Ara just took a black shirt with cream jeans and a black hoodie with the supreme writing on the front. After that Ara put the clothes on the bed and also sat down to wait for Gio. Ara did not expect to be able to easily get close to Gio like this, although it is undeniable that he was still nervous when he was too close to the man but still the comfort made Ara slowly get used to it.
Asik daydreamed until Ara did not realize the presence of Gio who was standing in front of him. The girl only realized when Gio slowly snapped his head.
"Dreaming continues" said Gio making Ara look up. Ara gulped her hard-earned saliva as she stared at what she should not have seen.
"GIO.", cried Ara reflexly closing her eyes. Gio reflex rubbed his ears and looked at Ara flat, his girlfriend is indeed not far from his best friend, the same voice toa.
Ara cursed Gio who came out using only a towel limited to the waist. With wet hair and still splashing water in the male body it makes it hotter, plus the male ABS is printed clearly in the eyes of Ara.
Gio chuckled softly, I don't know what he was thinking until he didn't know the shame of coming out of the bathroom using only a towel.
"Wearing a mop, he said he wanted to practice" said Ara still with her eyes closed and held her nervous desperately.
Gio scratched his nape that was not itchy, misbehaving himself. Jeez, this girl who just officially became her boyfriend must see him in this state. Without saying much more, Gio grabbed the clothes Ara prepared and put them on.
"I feel like I have a wife" said Gio.
...---🌻🌻🌻---...
"Lo know me?", asked a man wrapped in a black denim jacket who was sitting on the sofa living room minimalist house.
"Hmm, Ken's brother" replied the girl.
The man had come to Ara's house to look for the girl but what surprised her was not the girl he met but someone else.
"My name is Rania" said Rania introducing herself.
"Where do you know me and what is your relationship with Ara?", asked Ken curiously.
Rania smiled faintly, from the moment she could tell Ken liked her cousin's sister. But it's okay, it doesn't matter anyway it's not hers that she took, it's not Gio who likes Ara.
"Who does not know the brother, most wanted at Jagarsa High School in his time with two people, brother Ken, brother Arsal and....",
"Your relationship with Ara?", asked Ken to cut Rania's words, as if he did not want to discuss the time.
"His cousin's sister" said Rania. "My father is the same mother he is a sibling", continued the girl.
Ken just nodded. In the next instant, his eyes stared at the entire corner of the room looking for the girl he was about to meet.
"Where's ara?", asked Ken.
"Work", Rania said briefly made Ken frown confused.
"Gue from work, he said he had not worked there for the past month" Ken said, leaving Rania confused.
"Labour", muttered Rania. "But grandma said..ah bertaah" said Rania moved from her seat and approached Muti in the kitchen, ken also followed Rania's steps but the man was just standing on the kitchen doorstep.
"Where are you?", asked Rania to the point.
"Work, Nia. My grandmother told me", replied Muti.
Rania turned her gaze on the kitchen door as she felt herself being noticed. Rania looked at Ken for a moment and then looked back at Muti who was washing dishes.
"Said Ken, Ara has not worked at A&G cafe. He said he was there but Ara wasn't there" Rania said. She must find out Ara's new workplace so that if she needs money she can meet the girl directly.
"Cafe A&G", muttered Ken who had heard it earlier.
"Ara moved to work. He is no longer working in the cafe", said Muti still with his activities.
Rania frowned confusedly, Ara could have given up a job whose salary was quite large. Who does not know the cafe A&G belongs to someone who so he likes it, even among High School children also know the cafe hits it.
"Certain Ara now works where?", asked Rania curious, what work is now higher salary so he gave up his job on that one.
"So private tutor", said Muti who now looks at Rania.
"Teacher tutoring private", muttered Rania more confused. The salary of a private tutor will not be that big until Ara gives up her job at the cafe. "Where ? Whose private lessons?", asked Rania impatiently. Just like the man who is still standing at the door, also sharpen his ears.
"Grandmother does not know exactly where but said Ara to be a teacher private tutoring sister of her boss at the cafe", said Muti.
"His boss, at the cafe?", muttered Rania who was still heard by Muti. The middle-aged woman nodded her omen 'yes' to this question from her grandson.
Rania blinked her eyes as her brain tried to digest Muti's words.... Ah that is impossible, Rania shook her head slowly expel her thoughts that are not-no, hopefully the guess is wrong and do not get it right, if it is true there is something that Rania is afraid of.
While Ken who heard that clenched his hand held back his anger. Her memory goes back to the incident when Gea called her sister-in-law. He's got to figure this out, he doesn't want to be cheated, anymore.
"Rania, I'm saying goodbye",
