The Past...Ye

Finally eating - eating begins. Everyone gathers to the table where the dishes that tempt the taste buds are eager to eat. Suddenly, Runa got a new family. Gathering together like this makes Runa long for togetherness in her family.

"Om Marwan, what if you eat too much meat? Later the hypertension relapses." said Runa when he saw Om Marwan from earlier eating voraciously barbecue meat.

"Fire....". Aunt glanced at Om next to her. Making Om mangosteen - mangosteen grin.

"Yes nih Pi, so it is horrified that the prospective ghost again said...." Arsan seems to be affecting Runa. Runa's eyes bulged as if saying -please, don't start again

"No Aunt Om, this is a misunderstanding. Arsan is speaking". Runa immediately rectified the situation.

Arsan just smiled looking at Runa while chewing her food.

"Where is Mi, Pi, who is Arsan's wife?" Arsan continued his question again making Runa choke.

The cheer that was there was almost the same. "There's someone who shot directly!"

"Sin.ehemm.."

Aunt and Om smiled. They have known Runa for a long time as Melda's best friend.

"Mommy agrees. Is it Pi? As long as you love each other..".

"Tante, this isn't really like that. It's just a misunderstanding, we've only been friends all this time with no connection - anything..". Runa started to panic.

"From tonight you're my girlfriend. Okay?"

"That's very compelling? No!" Runa glares.

Arsan just smiled not wanting to argue with Runa first. Because the food in front of him is very tempting.

"Well, you two finish up again, okay? Now eat first." said Om softly.

Both Runa and Arsan are now just quietly eating their food. But Arsan occasionally glanced at Runa who was sitting in front of him.

Dinner - dinner is over. One by one the family members went home. After finishing taking part in some Runa also paid to Om and Aunt.

"Om Auntie, thank you for coming here. I'll go home first".

"You're going home alone?" ask Aunt. Runa nodded.

"Arsan, take Runa home?"

"No aunt, nothing. I can go home by myself.."

"It's been a really good night for Runa. Aunty does not want to happen anything - what the same would-be daughter-in-law of Auntie..."

Now Arsan's mother also teased him.

"Aunty?"

"Yes Runa, let Arsan help you get home. It's not good for women to go home alone at night - gini night.." Now Om chimed in.

Runa gave up he nodded in agreement at the return home by Arsan. He glanced at Arsan who was smiling broadly at him.

"If so I say yes Om Aunty. Good night...".

Again, Aunt made Runa ashamed. Arsan smiled and lifted his thumb.

While in the car Runa did not want to say a word to Arsan. Because tonight Arsan sucks and embarrasses him in front of Arsan's family.

"Diem's cigarette? Another thrush?"

"Mh.."

"Sepy knows..."

"Mh.."

"Why are you?"

"Or ah! Tonight you made me a bete. You byebelin. I'll be embarrassed in front of your family because of what you said!"

"Why should you be ashamed if love really is nothing.."

"Arsan?! It starts..."

"But actually Na, I fell with you..".

Runa turned to Arsan who was driving next to him.

"Udah ah, don't worry. The real nyetir is there..!"

Arsan smiles. Runa was silent. Didn't want to respond to Arsan's words just now. Runa prayed in her heart to get home quickly. He did not want to linger - just two years with Arsan.

Runa breathed a sigh of relief at last the fence of his house was tired he could not wait to quickly get down from Arsan's car. "Thank you for nganterin. I'll go down first..".

"Runa wait.." Runa's arm was held by Arsan.

Runa started to deg - degan. "What?"

"I'm sorry if tonight embarrassed you. I didn't mean it that way. But if I'm really in love with you, I'm not lying.."

"Why did you fall in love with me? You don't know me. How can it be in just a few days that you can say fall in love with someone.."

"I'm not a person who falls in love easily. But somehow when we first met at that time, I already felt something different in you.." Arsan's hand now grasped Runa's hand. Every man touched her, Runa was like a stun. Unable to hold his heart pumping his blood fast.

Runa pulled her hand slowly from Arsan's grasp. "I don't know what to say right now..".

Arsan smiles. "I know it's too soon for you. I'm not forcing you to fall in love with me. Yes, you went inside."

Runa nodded, "Thank you? I'm going in first.."

"Night Runa..."

Runa smiled, "Night as well.."
