The Journey of Young CEO Love
Part 28. basketball
The knock on the door made Ara's sleep slightly disturbed. After doing her duty earlier at dawn, Ara went back to sleep. Because today is the weekend so he's free to sleep until noon. Weekends are most suitable for laziness before re-engaging with the campus world and various tasks.
But only at 6 o'clock her grandmother had knocked on her bedroom door to try to wake her up. With her life still not fully collected and the thick blanket used to cover her body and only show her face, Ara got up and walked towards the door to see the grandmother.
"Why grandma" asked Ara with her eyes not yet wide open.
"There is a man" replied Muti.
"Who ?. Early in the morning had a visit" said Ara made Muti chuckle slowly.
"He said your girlfriend" replied Muti with a smile that was more towards a mocking smile.
"Daughter ? Ara where there is a boyfriend.", said Ara half-consciously.
"Eh wait. Grandma was serious, no lie" asked Ara with round eyes in surprise.
What surprised him more was someone who was now standing next to his grandmother and looking at him with a flat gaze.
"Ara take a shower first", cried Ara as she ran back into her room.
"God willing, early in the morning have seen the handsome face of the girlfriend. Enjoy what else you deny Ara" Ara said to herself. The girl was standing in front of the big glass in her room.
"But why did he come so early?",
"Ara hurry, don't stay nagging", cried Muti from behind the door of the room resuscitated Ara. The girl hurriedly ran into the bathroom to clean herself up.
While out there, Gio and Muti had already returned to the living room after waking up Ara. The man continued to smile occasionally when he saw Ara's face like that, so adorable. Arrgh wants it to feel like Gio biting on the girl's chubby cheek.
"You wait here, Grandma, back for a second" Muti said. After being embraced by Gio, the middle-aged woman immediately moved and disappeared behind the wall.
It did not take an hour, Ara came by using hotpants limited to thighs combined with black oversize shirts. The girl with long hair draped over walked up to Gio in a hurry.
"Be careful" said Gio seeing Ara almost fall.
"Cracked" said Gio again.
The man stood up and immediately pulled Ara's hand to grasp.
"Come on", take Gio.
"Where?", asked Ara with a frown.
"Well", said Gio cuek.
Ara looked at Gio in annoyance and hit the man's arm a little hard.
"It's really good" said Gio rubbing his arm.
"You're so chatty about it" asked Ara, the article some days Gio so much more talk.
"Your contagion", he said relaxed.
"Don ngeselin", though",
"Miss, Gio can take Ara?", Gio asked Muti when they reached the doorstep. While the girl next to him just realized that Gio took him to the kitchen to meet his grandmother.
"May, don't go home" replied Muti with a faint smile.
"Jagain is also a granddaughter of grandmothers" she said again.
"Surely", replied Gio.
After saying goodbye, Gio and Ara walked towards Gio's car and left the girl's courtyard. Shortly after their car left the gate, a black car arrived and had seen Gio's white car.
...---🌻🌻🌻---...
"Why are we here?", asked Ara looking in surprise at Gio. The man did not answer, only busy taking out two pairs of red basketball shirts.
Right, Gio took him to the basketball court they occupied yesterday afternoon.
"Bill your promise" said Gio and handed A set of basketball shirts to Ara.
"Morning gini?", asked Ara.
"You're right, I just finished the shower got to sweat again",
"Why not tell me from just now let's take a shower later anyway", cerocos the girl. Okay shower in the morning on the weekend does seem heavy for some people including Ara.
Gio just stared flatly at Ara who continued to grumble beside him.
"Change clothes", Gio's orders.
"Don't want to, it'll be late in the afternoon. I just took a shower of Gio", whining Ara with a face that was parched.
"Later in the afternoon we go, so fight now" said Gio again.
"Mulu street",
"Wouldn't you ?",
"No, Gio. It's still early morning", though",
"I just want to finish the same time you're full today",
Hearing that, Ara fell silent and thought for a moment. True too, they must be smart to divide the time now. Gio is busy with his lectures, work and internships. Similarly, he will intern next month and they must be smarter to manage time together from now on.
"OKAY. If you lose you have to give me the prize" said Ara grabbed the shirt Gio gave her.
After a few minutes, Gio and Ara returned to the court in red basketball suits.
"Greatness", complained Ara saw the clothes she was wearing.
Ara grunted softly and then ran into the small field and took the basketball located in the middle of the court.
"Can't be cheating and can't be rude" said Ara staring at Gio who was standing in front of him. The basketball he picked up he put on his waist. Gio nodded in agreement.
"If you lose you can't cry" Gio said with a mocking smile.
"Nak aja", said Ara. "The third count of the game begins" he continued.
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
Exactly the count of the three Ara mendribble the basketball and tried to attack Gio while the man just smiled faintly at the excited Ara.
Ara continued to dribble and avoid Gio who was even just walking leisurely behind her, a little stiff but Ara kept trying. He could not be now anymore. But once the movement, Gio managed to snatch the ball and dribble away from Ara.
Seeing that, Ara stomped her legs irritated and ran after Gio trying to snatch the ball back.
"Can't cheat" said Ara, still trying to get the ball.
"Who's cheating?", asked Gio puzzled.
"That's you grabbing my ball. It's called cheating" Ara said innocently.
"If I don't take it his name is not a match but play itself" said Gio.
The man turned around while mendribble the ball then the next second a small jump and...The ball made it into the ring making Gio smile triumphantly at Ara.
"1-0" he said mockingly.
Ara clucked irritably then returned to pick up the ball and returned to his dribble. Yet again and again Gio managed to snatch the ball from him. So on until Gio scored 6 points but Ara has not scored at all.
"Captain basketball is up against" Gio said boasting.
"I'm also the captain of basketball huh" said Ara not to be outdone.
"Captain basketball really doesn't print points" Gio said with a mocking smile.
"And it used to fit SMA. Now where ever play, so it's a bit stiff", alibih Ara.
"The reason" said Gio again running small while mendribble the ball, but when he was about to throw the ball on the ring, screeches Ara stopped his movement.
"GIO", Ara's shriek surprised Gio.
He hurriedly came to Ara and looked at the girl worriedly.
"Why?", he asked in panic.
Seeing Gio off guard, Ara grabbed the ball and ran towards the ring.
"Father papa weeee", he said as he stuck out his tongue mocking.
"Bad girl" said Gio glancing at his watch. "But.", Gio hung up his words and glanced at Ara.
"Tetep aka beautiful. You still lose, the time is up", Gio continued to show his watch and sure enough the time is really not felt, the sun is also very bright.
"It's really hot" murmured Ara.
"Well I lose, what do you want?", asked Ara as she ruffled her waist.
"Here" Gio's orders.
Ara walked over and stopped exactly one step in front of Gio. The girl who had a height only limited to Gio's chest looked up at Gio with narrowed eyes due to the sunlight.
"Deketan" said Gio again.
"It's a big deal" said Ara.
Gio looked at Ara lazily then without warning pulled Ara's arm slowly and immediately hugged her, leaving the girl shocked. Even now Gio was calmly putting his chin on top of Ara's head.
"Why?", asked Ara confused by Gio's attitude. Don't forget his heart that's starting to get conditioned.
"Can't I ask for something?", asked Gio while gently rubbing Ara's long hair.
Ara looked up at Gio who was now also slightly looking down at him.
"Can, ask for what" said Ara seriously.
"Whatever happens in the future, keep gini. Never change, just be the cheerful, chatty and strong Ara of Gio" says Gio.
"Can?", asked Gio.
With a sweet smile Ara nodded confidently, "Can".
"Whatever we face in the future, remains the same. Stay with me. Can you?", asked Gio increasingly make Ara's smile expand. The girl's hand lifted back in Gio's embrace and then nodded again.
"Can" he said with conviction.
"Always remember that it is wrong. If I'm wrong you can accuse me, you can be angry, you can beat me but you can't leave me" Gio said again.
"You are the first taste and will be the last" said Gio kissing Ara's long forehead.
"We fight together" said Ara.
"I love you so much, Raa" he said, then hugged Ara tightly to make the girl's heart beat after hearing Gio's words.
Today could be said to be the happiest day for Ara and she hoped that in the future it would be like this. The answer could come out of his mouth earlier was solemn, there was no doubt and he promised to always accompany this man who was hugging him. Without them knowing someone saw and heard what they had just said. The one who promised to destroy everything. For Ara and Gio in the future they will make the happiest story but they forget some people out there are ready to destroy everything, find a gap to enter and destroy their relationship.
