The Shah of First Love

COLD ATTITUDE

Kani complained because it was getting sicker, even though she could not step again, where it was still far away. Kani raises her face when she hears Amarendra's voice, is laughing, then her figure appears by riding her bicycle and from behind Raihan and two friends chasing. Amarendra paused, stared, made his friends do the same.

“Kani? Whynot? All the way here!” exclaim Raihan loud. Kani stands up straight but still holding her stomach, she feels there is hope when she sees Raihan, but Raihan snarls when his phone rings and doesn't want to stop to go home together even though Kani keeps calling her.

“Why you?” Amarendra approached and Kani turned her head. The girl looked down and Amarendra looked at her two friends who immediately smiled and passed by on their bikes.

Again, Kani complained, Amarendra kept staring until the girl had no other choice.

“We're friends, right? Can you take your friend home? My stomach hurts.” Grimacing, he asked, Amarendra's lips twisted and he glanced back. Give permission.

In a meatball shop, Kani greedily eats a second bowl of meatballs. Amarendra next to him chewed while paying attention. That skinny tall woman was able to eat that much? Many times Amarendra shook his head, smiled, and watched Kani eat while telling stories.

“Do not eat late again, Mag's disease can be fatal and do not want if your friends use you again, what is difficult to fight, maybe you are not in trouble like this.” Amarendra explained slowly and Kani turned her head.

“You are not happy to help this poor girl?” Kani suddenly stopped eating and Amarendra laughed.

“Not.” She shook her head. “I just don't have the heart, there's no mutual use in friendship, Kani.”

“Which I tell you is my cousin, not a friend.”

“Yes the same, classmates, plus there is a kinship between you so he is brave. Okay, we forget about that. How, your stomach still hurts?” amarendra replied meekly even though the girl was speaking softly to him.

Kani shook her head, re-enjoying her meatballs as well as Amarendra. Kani felt good, even to walk until the house she felt capable. But Amarendra promised to take her home.

After the two left the meatball shop, Kani punched Amarendra in the shoulder as the young man somehow took her where.

“Quiet, I am not Heri or Aldi, or any such man who will take you far for unimportant activities!” amarendra and Kani are silent.

Bicycle stopped in front of a large Wholesale Stall, Kani knew this Wholesale, Her mother often shop here because the price is skewed from other stores. The wholesaler is on the front as well as the bottom of the two-story house.

“Pak Haji, Amarendra bring a girl!” someone shouted and Kani was aghast. The man who was weighing the oil could see Amarendra with him.

“He's a schoolmate,” said Amarendra and the man cut his lips.

“Child SMP?” the question was not sure and Amarendra was delirious.

A tya man with a white hunchback, a white t-shirt as well and a sarong cloth came down from the second floor. Staring at Amarendra with Kani lekat.

“That's why, I want to take her home, she's Kani. Poor thing, his house is far.” Amarendra permits politely and Abahya looks at Kani lekat.

“Don't be long,” sahut Abahan without much question then Amarendra invites Kani to go. Not far away, Kani finally ventured to ask.

“You are his grandson Haji Salim sir?”

Amarendra.

“I have never seen you before when I often shop with my mother,” said Kani again and Amarendra turned his head briefly.

“I just moved, don't ask much, want to go home or interview your new friend this?” Amarendra smiled and Kani apologized and then kept quiet.

The downhill road from Terminal makes Kani hold on to Amarendra's shirt. The man grimaces as his strength is pulled, his clothes choke him, Kani loosens his grip but holds on. Amarendra occasionally spoke, not feeling, they finally reached the road to Kani's house. Only until halfway through, Kani was like that when asking to get off and Amarendra stopped. He looked at the girl's departure, afraid that her stomach would hurt again and needed her help.

“She's smart but so innocent.” Amarendra could only shake his head, annoyed at how Rere left Kani just for the sake of dating Faisal.

***

The next day, Amarendra leaned his back against the walls of the Hall, waiting for the girls to appear to reflect and improve their appearance there. He was silent, folding both his hands in front of his chest when he saw Kani also appear with her friends. The girl's face immediately tensed when she saw Amarendra.

“Will he charge Meatballs money yesterday?” kani murmured inwardly, that was all that came to her mind.

Reva looked at Kani with a dislike look as well as Teti. Teti wants Kani with Heri.

Kani turns her head as Rara and Rere pass by. Rere didn't want to ask if yesterday Kani was okay coming home alone? Kani could only endure her sense of regret seeing her cousin was so irresponsible.

“You're wearing a red sweater.” Amarendra called while pointing and Rere who felt that he turned his head.

“Waduh, what is it?” Teti was confused and curious.

“Don't say he likes Rere,” whispered Reva annoyed.

Rere mesem-mesem because Amarendra approached her but passing by and pulling Kani's arm made the girl panic.

“Kani your cousin, right? Can you take a little responsibility? You went with her for a group assignment but you left her at Terminal just to go with your lover!” firmly Amarendra and Kani looked at him.

Rere's face was pale, ashamed and afraid to see Amarendra.

“That's bad for you, Kani should report to the teacher. Let him not get grades!” hardik Reva and Teti with Citra support.

But Kani, she felt it was unnecessary, she was fine too. Kani quickly pulled Amarendra away from Rere who was already on the verge of crying.

“No need to be like this, go.” Kani looked up, stared fixedly, and Amarendra saw the hand with the clasped fingers holding her arm. “Go,” urges Kani to continue.

“Be careful if he does this again,” said Amarendra then he left, Kani stared at his disappearance and she felt ashamed when all eyes were on him. He believes they're all wondering why Amarendra would have gotten so far if they didn't have a relationship.

“You're with him dating? She took you.” The image whispered while narrowing Kani's hand. Kani did not answer and finally left.

“Your path, Re.” Rara, her brother Rere also reprimanded and felt ashamed of his sister's attitude. The cornered rere was silent. He was also upset that Kani's three friends smiled mockingly at him then left.

Amarendra's defense makes Kani feel a sense of joy and heartlessness to Rere, but all her friends are so satisfied to see the tense and scared face of Rere. The more certain they are that think Kani and Amarendra are in a relationship when in fact, they are just friends. For Kani, Amarendra is an amazing man and a lot of things he hides and for Amarendra, Kani is an amazing woman, simple, innocent, innocent, and it's still very small to be in a relationship called courtship and Kani knows it's wrong, about her and Heri yesterday, if it was heard by his parents or sisters who complained, maybe he would be outraged.

When Mr. Muji comes home, Kani is not too excited, convinced that the new phone he dreams of is only a fantasy, maybe later after he grows up and works, he could buy that thing and now has to keep lying to his friends.

Kani stepped lazily while clutching the prayer rug inside which squeezed the neatly folded mucena. He stopped when he heard the voice of a man from a fairly agreng house in the village.

Kani retreated away when the gate of the house was opened, the figure of a handsome and handsome man appeared, Bela's sister Kalingga.

“Eh, Kani. Just home?” He asked kindly, making the girl who did have admiration for him smile shyly, not daring to answer. “Almost first, Bela is there too. Come on Dahlia, Kenanga too.” Kalingga was indeed friendly and the three girls looked at each other.

“We have to go home,” said Kani slowly.

“But if Mas Kalingga wants us to stop by, we want to really.” Dahlia was so enthusiastic, pulling Kenanga in and Kalingga smiled while Kani, embarrassed by the behavior of her two younger siblings, was forced to enter as well.

Bela immediately looks upset to see Kani with her two younger siblings, Kani realizes that, as soon as possible she looks down and occasionally notices Kalingga. The man with curly hair, that huge tall stature was so mesmerizing, plus his warm gaze and sweet smile. The ripe sapodilla skin also adds that sweet impression to its figure. Already at work, once expressed his intention to go to college with Kani, Kani is increasingly fascinated and which girl does not dream of him being a couple.

“Come eaten, Kani.” Kalingga offered softly while sitting next to Bela.

“When did Mas Kalingga go home?” ask Dahlia snobs.

“Tadi afternoons.” Kalingga. “Pad, mom, how are you?”

“Health, Mas.” Kenanga smiled as she replied.

Before long the Madam of the house came out, Ms. Wati's name. He married a man from Java and was born Bela and Kalingga from the marriage of Javanese and Sundanese. His father Kalingga and Bela worked in Malaysia, returning home two or three times a year.

The silence that Kani displays is not strange for those who live in one village and close to his house, the girl often does not even want to answer those who ask (On men) who tease him. He is famous for his cold attitude.
