“This rain, you don't want to be with me really? Usually come on too,”
Areno approached Arani who was standing in front of the school building waiting for his father's arrival.
“I've asked papa so or not pick me up but not read, maybe a moment again. You go home, I want to go home with papa,”
“This lightning life, Ran. Wait for your papa? I have not read any chat from you. Maybe Om Radi is busy again so do not hold the phone and read messages from you,”
“I can wait inside if it rains like my dad if so pick me up but I'm not there,”
“Sama me, don't want to? I don't mean it, I just want to make sure you do. I want to go home with you to test gini once so ‘kan, so romantic like in the movie,”
Areno's remarks prompted an upset Arani. And Arani immediately answered him “No way, Ren. I want to go home and wait for my dad,”
“Yes I've been waiting until your papa comes yes,”
“No need, uh why the hell wait for me? I told you, you go home,”
“School is starting to be quiet because it is already afternoon so I want to wait for you,” Areno explained.
Time shows at half-four in the afternoon. Students begin to leave campus. Areno could not let Arani wait for her papa when the situation began to quiet.
“Let's wait in aja not in front of the gate, near the security guard post tuh,” invite Areno to Arani.
Arani nodded, and immediately walked over to the security post, followed by Areno who entered again with his motorbike.
“You're ready to go home why don't you go home anyway? Why wait for me? The motor has been taken out, and even brought in again,”, said Arani to her lover. This time Arani refused to go home with Areno because her father said he wanted to pick her up.
“I used to want to go home, but ‘kan see you again waiting for an invitation I do not have the heart, so yes I samperin you are,”
Areno placed his second wheeled vehicle near the security post after he asked permission first by Mr. Agung who is currently on guard.
“Kok not home yet?” Ask the Great Sir to the two of them.
“Waituin he was picked up first, sir,” replied Areno while turning to Arani.
“Lho, why not go home with her?”
“Yes would like that, sir. But Arani who does not want if I take you home,”, Areno said while smiling looking at Arani who threw away his eyes.
“I told you to go home first but he even wanted to wait for me, Sir,” said Arani so that Mr. Agung did not think He told Areno to wait for him to come home first Barah Dafin come home.
“Oh Mas want to be together time yes. It's not good to leave the girl alone,”
Areno's reaction immediately smiled as he heard the words of Mr. Agung. While Areno misbehaved to hear the name for Arani from Pak Agung.
“Dating ‘kan?”
“Ngak, Sir. I'm not Areno's girlfriend, we're not dating,” Arani replied quickly.
“Heh good. You are my girl yes!”
Arani chuckles at Areno's words when he says that he is not Areno's lover.
Arani who answered like that certainly made Areno immediately snort annoyed. Already happy to hear the phrase Mr. Agung even broken by Arani who is ignorant and likes the prestige.
“It's not a courtship huh? I think dating. So play wait-wait, so this is just a victory?”
“Iya, Sir,”
“Ih no, actually dating really, sir,”
“Arani likes to be shy,” said Areno while glancing at Arani.
Forced Areno who agreed, because Arani had previously said that they did not have a special relationship like dating.
“Whose name is Mas?”
“Areno, this is Arani,” Areno said as he pointed to himself and Arani.
“But I usually call Aranique who cantekkk short aja Aracan,” Areno continued while chuckling. His words made Mr. Agung frown not understand.
“Means?”
“Iya I like to call Aracan,”
“Ih, my name is not that! You don't like to change, I'm Arani, not Aracan. I'm not a tiger descendant,”
Areno and Pak Agung laughed to hear Arani protesting over Areno's call to him. Arani is certainly more comfortable to be called by his name alone without anything being replaced.
“You ‘kan I've told you that Aracan has an extension. Arani is beautiful, well I'm short so Aracan, so that call is not because you have a descendant tiger, Ran,”
“Yes but still ah, I'm not happy to be called Aracan,”
“Ya ‘kan me who called not you, so it's okay dong,”
“You call, your mouths, but ‘name me Arani, do not like to be replaced,”
“That pet call means yes?” Ask Mr. Agus to Areno who Areno answered immediately with a quick nod while lifting his thumb.
“One stop, Sir. Because she's beautiful that's why I call Aracan,”
“Good that means, Neng. Why not call it that?”
“Yes because my name is ‘kan Arani aja, sir. No his ‘can’,”
“Hahaha funny also yes debate young people, have long not seen the like gini. Pretty, can be entertained in the weather who want this rain,”
“Great sir happy to see me with Arani small debates? I like this, sir. Arani likes ketus just like me. But it's okay, I'm happy as long as I can see Arani,”
“Duh geez, so bucin you ya. Uh really not what he called it? Bucin ‘kan ya?”
“Bucin really-banget, sir. Cinmat is the same Arani,”
“What else is cinemat?”
“Love is dead,”
Arani immediately rolled his eyes carelessly when he heard Areno's words, while Pak Agung instead comforted because again laughing even more freely this time.
“But entertainment father this afternoon yes, meet bucin couple,”
“Not a couple, Sir. Since when do I have a partner? Not yet,” said Arani asserted that there is no longer a word partner, dating, or the like. Because his relationship with Areno is not that special. Although it is clearly dating but sometimes Arani lazy to express his status.
“So bad I am not admitted even though gini handsome, especially if the modelannnya can tengginang yak,”
“Later also long time so mate, sure deh I,”
“Aamiin ya Allah, doain ya, sir. He said the more doain the faster the berkabul until ijab cobul,“
“Areno, what are you anyway? Not very clear, your words digress,”
Arani was shocked to hear Areno's remarks that had discussed the kobul ijab all.
“Why digress? I ‘kan ask doain same person emang can not?”
“Yes but don't doain kayak it dong,”
“You don't want to mate with me?”
“Ngak!”
“Refent, later the end can change your mind, Mas Areno. I was calm,” said Mr. Agung while nodding Areno's shoulder once. Areno felt cheered, usually with the closest people, He was told to stop approaching Arani, but this time by Mr. Agung, the school security was even supported, he said, encouraged not to give up because Arani could now say ‘not’ but at other times even change his mind, really become his wife, because if so girlfriend already.
“I want to be betrothed,”
“Hah?! Seriously you?”
Arani's words immediately made Areno widen his eyes in shock, his heartbeat was also irregular. The news that Arani is about to be betrothed has made himself surprised and disappointed.
“Let's not let you get me again,”
“Totally? I'll ask your papa mama yes,”
“Iya please ask aja,”
Areno panicked, while Pak Agung even chuckled. He patted Areno's shoulder again. “Not married, Mas Areno. There's still a chance. Yellow janur has not curved,”
“Duh Pak Agung, do not love the spirit of grandiose to Areno, he without being discouraged also has a grandiose spirit at all times, but the spirit of me, deketin,” said Arani complained because Mr. Agung again encouraged Areno so that Areno did not think of the match that Arani said earlier.
“Iya anyway, my principle is so too, sir. As long as there is no curved yellow janur, I will try,”
“Well yes already, it ‘kan new plan,”
“No, I'm sure, not just a plan anymore,”
“You lied, Arani. I'll ask your papa mama, yeah,”
Arani gritted her teeth, then threw away a glance. He does not like the noisy Areno so He works Areno and pretends that He is being fooled.
The rain fell, Arani and Areno were immediately invited into the security post by Mr. Agung. Arani saw Ardno who had been exposed to rain water because he had previously sat in front of the post.
“Your clothes get wet, Ran,”
“Nothing, you are also the same, Mr. Supreme also tuh,”
“Eh jerk off, I diligently wear a jacket in the morning. Yes, you wear my jacket,”
Areno took the jacket he was wearing this morning from home to class because it was cold. But after sitting in class, he immediately took off his jacket and he kept it in his bag.
Now He handed Arani his jacket so that Arani would wear it. But Arani refused.
“Nevent gone, Areno. Just wet in a minute,”
“Udah wear it, you can not refuse the goodness of people. Wear my jacket, let's not get cold, Ran,”
“But I'm not cold,”
“Ya but use it already, do not bother deh,”
“Yes I've used, I'll return ya,”
“Not to be reversed is okay,”
“Yes don't dong, this ‘kan not mine,”
“Ya has been back sometime,” said Areno. Areno is happy if not returned. He is a strange man. Everywhere, if lending goods to others, would want the goods returned, but if He was happy if the jacket was not returned by Arani. Happy because one of his goods is stored by Arani, united with Arani's clothes in Arani's closet..
“Mas Areno want to wear a Great Man's holster?”
“Not done, Sir. I'm not cold,”
“Wuih same dong, cold kirain, tuh wear sarong I have made ngeronda,”
“Hahahah Mr Agung likes to wear gloves huh?”
“Yes his name is also father-father, ngeronda wear sarong if I mah. Mas Areno doesn't like to wear gloves?”
“Yes if pray doang, Sir,”
“Alhamdulillah remember prayer, five days no? Nothing reduced ‘kan?”
“Yes not, sir. Time Yes I am less-lessin,”
“Ntar if you already have a wife ready to be a dong priest?”
“Wisss ready times,”
“Asikk is ready. Come on Neng Arani, wait a minute? Don't want to be imamin the same Mas handsome Areno?”
Areno laughed, while Arani just smiled in response to the joke of Mr. Agung. Dafin immediately patted his shoulder once then looked at him with a smile and both eyebrows were deliberately raised down.
“So how? When?”
“What time?”
“When ready in imamin said Mr. Agung earlier,”
“Ck! Areno don't start yes. The great sir was just joking. You are really cute,”
“Eh I am serious, Neng. Seriously, when is marriage ready? When is it ready in imamin?”
“Yes if imamin already, sir. Same with me at home,”
“I mean, in imamin same husband,”
“When, Sir,”
“Now I'm ready, Ran. Stay to penghulu yok,”
“Areno, mending home instead of talking non-compliance. Who wants to get married anyway? Still long know,”
“I want to,”
“Ya I also want but—“
“NAH SHE WANTS PAK MAKAH SAMAH,”
Areno immediately let out a boisterous voice while pointing at Arani and looking at the widened Great Sir. Pak Agung can catch the meaning of Arani's words but it seems Areno misunderstood.
“That's what the hell? I'm going to get married, but later, and I don't know who. I mean, I'm not marrying you now, Areno! Oh, my God, you misunderstood me? I'm so happy, I'm embarrassed to be you. Tight again talking until my ears are pengang,”
“Oalah so yes,” Areno sound immediately limp, and Mr. Agung chuckled amusedly. Areno has a great hope to be a match with Arani. But Arani can't seem to open her heart yet.
“I ‘kan anyways have been betrothed,”
“Ah I don't believe,”
“Try if you don't believe, dare to ask his parents no, Mas Areno?”
“Bare, Sir. Later if I see you I will ask,”
Areno was happy to be able to chat with Mr. Agung, like he was familiar when he just spoke at length while joking.
“Sir Grandpa doain is best for both of you yes, if you have spread the invitation, Mr. Supreme do not be forgotten, okay? Want to be the same whoever your soul mate later Mr. Agung will be invited dong,”
“Iya can, Sir. Later I record the name of Mr. Agung yes,”
“God willing I remember, Sir,”
Areno and Arani both answered the request of the Great Sir who wanted to be invited when Areno and Arani married, with their respective partners, or even those who became brides.
Arani felt a tremor from inside her bag, and there was also a ringing that faintly clashed with the sound of rain as well as lightning.
“Do not play mobile phone first should, Ran,” said Areno advised Arani who just pulled the phone out of her bag.
“Yes but papa I called, I picked up briefly,”
“Halo, Assalamualaikum, Son,”
“Iya Waalaikumsalam, Pa,”
“Maafin papa ya just can ngabarin, papa phone was out of battery. Son, this is jammed so much out of the office papa want to go to your campus, because of the rain, whether the flooded area so diverted the road. You're patient waiting for her,”
“Oh then don't pick me up, Pa. Better Papa go straight home, kasian papa if I have to go to school first. I can go home by motorcycle, but later if the rain has stopped,”
“Eh don't, Brother. It's okay to pick up papa. It's just gonna be a while, kid. Because of this traffic jam. Hopefully not long. Rain gini papa worried if you ride ojek,”
“Back home I am, Ran,” Areno told Arani who was talking to her papa. Areno heard Radi chat so he immediately invited Arani to go home with him.
“Om, Arani came home with me,”
“That's Areno's voice huh?” Ask Radi to Arani.
“Iya no Areno. He said he wanted to wait for me until papa came. It was raining so we both waited in the post. Papa don't have to pick me up. I can go home by myself, really,”
“Do not, Papa—“
“Car down, Pa,”
“No-no, papa will pick up. God willing this is not long,”
“Why is that papa? Don't miss, just drift straight towards home instead of stopping by my school. Papa is calm. Anyway I went home alone, papa just went home just not already to my campus. Bye, Pa, be careful, Pa. Straight to the house. Assalamualaikum,”
Arani does not want his papa to force himself to his school in the midst of traffic jams that hit due to flooded areas. Arani believes his papa will be very tired if they have to go to the campus first, later they can also be attacked by traffic jams, until the house somehow hours. His father was tired of working. It would be better Radi went straight home, not stopping anywhere including the campus.
“Let's go home with me, want ya?”
“No, I want to take a car,”
“Lighting the same me, faster until the house ride the motor, but later if it has somewhat subsided rain,”
“But riding motor rain-rain horrified, papa I worry too,”
“I can take care of you, Ran. Take it easy, God willing I can take you home safe, really no lie,”
“I'm scared,”
“What fear? Afraid I'd run away and I'd mess with you? It won't, Ran. I told you, I'm not going to be bad with you. Trust me the same. All this time round and round I am safe,” Areno said and unconsciously summarized Arani's face and looked at Arani with a serious soothing eye. Areno wants Arani this time alone to really prove himself that he will not be what Arani is worried about.

“Ren, don't hold it, I'm surprised to know!”
Arani releases Areno's hand on both sides of his face. Areno immediately wavegapan misbehavior.
“Iya sorry, Ran. I didn't accidentally, seriously,”
“Do not mode, Mas Areno. Neng Arani even escaped ntar,”
“My oath is not mode, Mr. Supreme. I actually did not accidentally hold Arani's cheek. Ah Mr. Agung recuse me aja,”
“Oh really by accident? Beautiful huh? So hold her cheek?”
Areno nodded her head acknowledging Arani's beauty as she chuckled. Do you know how Alyla reacted? It even threw away the view.
“He stole-steal opportunity,” Inner Arani.
“So how, Ran? You want to ‘kan go home with me? I'll drive you safely to your house, relax,”
Areno looked at Arani with an expectantly anxious look. He was afraid that Arani refused, even though He already had great hopes this time to prove to Arani that He would bring Arani home with a good condition. So not coming home with his Papa was not a problem because He will try like his father Arani to make sure Arani safe until home.
“No want to? Afraid of me?”
“Ya is yes. I'm coming home with you,”
“Yes! Seriously ‘kan nih?”
“Yes, do I look at my face messing around or joking?”
“Yes not really, but I want to be more sure. I'm so happy, Ran. Thanks for coming home with me, so dong, Ran,”
“I should be the one to say thanks, ‘kan you who will take me home,”
“I said thank you for feeling so grateful that you believed in me, like you didn't believe it at first? Afraid that I might take a run for gini?”
“If we've let go straight home,”
“Okay ready, Arani beautiful,”
“Ih what the hell? Don't call it that can't you? I'm not pretty! Regular aja,”
“So weird this chick yeah, don't really like to be called beautiful, wonder. My guy is talking about reality, he's really pretty, but I don't even want to say pretty,”
“That's so sweet it's like your candy,”
“What's sweet, Sir?”
“Liat you two talk so smile yourself wriggling, Neng. Sweet looks,”
“Popcorn sweet tuh,” chirped Arani while looking forward where the rain is still rushing soaking the earth he is on his watch at this time.
“You want popcorn?”
“Hah? No, it's just a fad to say that, just for me,”
“Yes have been waiting for a moment yes, in the cafeteria there is popcorn kok,”
“EH ARENO!”
Arani is surprised to see Areno suddenly running through the rain. Areno exited the guard post and ran to the right where the school cafeteria was.
“Gosh that kid yeah. She why the hell? My people just from talking,”
“The sign is Mas Areno also love Neng Arani,” said Mr. Agung while smiling at Arani who was still shocked not to think that Areno would run through the rain. Areno's actions were completely beyond his expectations.
“But I was just talking, I came from baduk but he took it I seriously want popcorn, jeez Areno….Areno, that's a really weird kid huh deh,”
“Not strange, Neng. Mas Areno want to nurutin want Neng, and want to have his business, until nerobos test him,”
“Duh, I feel guilty,”
“No need to feel guilty dong, Neng. ‘Kan is not the wrong Neng, only Mas Areno who wants to know Neng,”
Arani bobbing head. He did not expect Areno would be desperate to get out of the security guard post with heavy rain just to buy popcorn for him who just just spoke earlier.
“I feel this sin because it makes children drenched in the rain to buy popcorn,” inner Arani while paying attention to the rain. He wanted to catch up with Areno and bring an umbrella, but he didn't bring an umbrella.
“Great sir, no umbrella?”
“Oh no, Neng. Want to borrow?”
“Yes, can you, sir? Just for a moment, I will immediately return to Mr. Agung,”
“By dong, wear it, Neng,”
The Great immediately handed the umbrella to Arani. The umbrella is not large in size, you could say small for the size of one person. Nothing, essentially Arani followed Areno, although the umbrella did not seem enough for the two of them to wear later but at least there is an umbrella.
Arani to the school cafeteria is a good distance away from the security post. He walked quickly, hoping he would still meet Areno before Areno broke through the rain again.
Almost arriving at the cafeteria, he saw Areno was about to leave the canteen, Arani immediately exclaimed asking Areno to stay in the canteen only.
Dafin immediately widened his eyes when he saw Arani running towards him. “Gosh, how come you're here anyway? You followed me, Ran?”
“Yes, when I started ghosting? What are you doing when it suddenly rains? I ‘kan not really want popcorn,” Arani immediately scolded Areno who acted like that. If Areno is sick from rain water, Arani feels guilty later.
“Nih for you,”
Areno immediately handed over two cups of popcorn to Arani who somehow warmed up, not in line with his body which was currently feeling cold despite wearing a jacket from Areno.
“Thank you, but you shouldn't have to do that, Areno. I don't really want pop corn, why do you take it seriously anyway? Huh huh? Do not sacrifice your own health. I'm really surprised that suddenly you break in the rain to buy popcorn for me, even though I don't really want to, I just want to say,”
“Nothing, Ran. Ud you don't be fussy, get eaten let's popcorn,”
“Until buy two anyway, geez you nih,”
“Taken yes, I bought it must be wet first because,”
“Iya I ate,”
“Sit here, don't go back to the post,” said Areno while reaching for Arani's hand to sit in one of the empty canteen chairs.
“What do you want to drink? I forgot to buy it,”
“Not want to drink anything,”
“Well I ate but didn't drink? Bentar yes I buy drinking water first, just water so healthy not most sugar,” said the man as he chuckled. Arani shakes her head observing Areno who is currently rushing over to the drink seller in their campus cafeteria, while Arani sits watching the popcorn Areno just bought.
“Kok he's so good anyway? So happy to buy this for me?”
Until now Arani is still inexhaustible, still did not expect that Areno would bother to the cafeteria with heavy rain just to fulfill his original speech.
Areno came with two bottles of drink and Areno immediately sat opposite Arani. He opened the bottle cap and then he put the bottle in front of Arani.
“Sama-sama, Arani,” replied Areno with his sweet smile
“Thou hast bothered to buy pop corn same drink. Speaking in front of you danger yes, must be careful,” said Arani while grunting and glancing at Areno who frowned.
“Hah? What do you mean?”
“Iya must be careful because you can not differ where the origin is really. I just want popcorn eh you immediately go buyin popcorn, until now I still feel guilty you know, you,”
Areno immediately clucked softly hearing Arani's words. Why should Arani feel guilty? ‘Kan indeed his own will to go to the canteen buy popcorn. According to him, even though Arani does not speak blatantly he wants popcorn, but still if Arani has spoken it feels will keep thinking if not fulfilled.
“Kok feel guilty? You ‘kan not wrong anything, Al,”
“Yes but you're wet because of me, Areno,”
“No, not because of you. I ‘kan who want to buy popcorn for you,”
“Sorry me yes,”
“Ih my goodness, why did you say sorry anyway? You are not wrong,”
“Next time don't have to like that anymore, Areno. You make yourself lose. If you are sick how do you try?”
“Sick from rain? No, I never get sick when it rains,” replied Areno casually. Even if the pain is also okay, sometimes sick because Arani may also be.
“Udah began to subside after the rain, Ran. Abis you eat, we go straight home huh?” Areno asked Areno apda Arani who immediately nodded her head.
“Now just yuk?”
“Hah? Later on, you eat first, the new abis we go home hopefully not continue raining,”
“Aamiin, hopefully stop, if we have reached each other's homes, can deh rain again so adem,”
“Lah, you even request,”
Arani chuckles, He is sometimes weird. The rain could not be regulated by him, but that was his hope at this moment. So that he and Areno will not get wet at home.
“Later if it rains again when we have arrived really, yes Allah,”
Areno laughed and spontaneously gently ruffled the top of Arani's head that was enjoying the caramel popcorn he had just bought in the canteen.
“You don't want to eat either? Why buy two? I've had enough,”
“I don't want to. You just brought it home,”
“Hah? I brought it home?”
“Yes, you just bring it home, if you don't want to be finished at once,”
“Okay then,”
Arani stuffed the remaining one cup of popcorn into the bag. Again He said, “Still yes, Ren.”
“Iya equally, Ran,” Areno replied gently with a smile.
“Let's go home, this one is finished, I throw the container into the trash first,” said Arani as she moved from the chair to approach the trash.
“Oh so the popcorn for Arani, Ren? Aciee willing to do the test to buy popcorn for Arani a,”
Areno chuckles when a friend is mocked. “Whisper lo, already there home,”
“Cie cie cie, uhuk ampe my cough,”
“Not come home! I'm tabok nih,”
“Hahahaha okay, boss. I went back,” Tomy said as he walked away from Areno. Arani immediately invited Areno to go home after throwing away the trash.
“Come home,”
“Yok, it's getting quieter now,”
“Yes lightning is also no,”
“We stop first later in the post, I want to return the umbrella because,”
“Okay, that's Mr Agung's umbrella huh? I thought it had you,”
“No, I borrowed Mr. Agung's. You're raining enough, Ren. That's why I'm samperin with an umbrella,”
“Duh so sweet really,”
“Kok so sweet anyway? I feel guilty that's why I am your mistress. Because of me, you got soaked just to buy popcorn aja,”
“That's my little sacrifice, Ran. Nothing, just relax already,” said Areno.
“You're the one with the umbrella, I don't need,”
“Heh, good. No, I want to be together,” Areno straightforward.
Areno immediately embraces Arani, then he holds an umbrella to protect himself and Areno.
“Ih no need to embrace it can not?”
“Ya ‘kan not load, Ran. Must embrace gini, the umbrella is small for us, but I do not want if only I use the umbrella,”
“Iya anyway, but—“
“Ya already do not have to embrace deh,” said Areno while pulling his hand from Arani's shoulder. He realized Arani was uncomfortable. So he let go of his embrace.
“Sorry yes, sorry I made you uncomfortable,”
“Okay, it's okay. But I don't have to wear an umbrella, you're aja,”
“Later also wet ride motor,”
“Eh I brought a test coat, Ran,”
“Yes you have taken the motor, and please pick me up here huh?”
“Oh that? Yes already, you wait a moment in the canteen,” said Areno who finally agreed. Arani does not want to use the umbrella because it is not enough. Pity Areno if wet again due to the umbrella used by him as well.
“Okay I wait here,” said Arani.
Areno immediately walked quickly with the umbrella he was holding to protect his head from the rain. He would rush to the parking area to pick up his two-wheeled vehicle.
After he put on a raincoat, and climbed into his motorcycle seat, he went to the security post to return the umbrella belonging to the campus guard.
“Great Sister, thank you so much for the umbrella,”
“Sama-sama, which Neng Arani?”
“In the canteen, I picked up there,”
“Oh so, yes be careful, Mas Reno. Very slippery road it's raining,”
“Okay sip, Sir. Thanks, Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam,”
Areno goes to the cafeteria to pick up Arani who is waiting for him there. He approached Arani who was standing waiting for his arrival.
“Areno, please bring the motor do not speed yes, be careful anyway. I'm afraid, the road is slippery because it's raining,”
“It's quiet, Aranique,”
Areno left the place where he was sitting because he wanted to take the rain for Arani who immediately received it.
“Please yes, I borrow first,”
“Iya, wear it, want to be used up into your home is also okay,”
“Alhamdulillah rain did not enter my house, Ren. You don't be weird,”
“Hahahah kidding, Aracan,”
Arani wore his body armor so as not to be exposed to rain water. He was given a helmet by Areno.
“Still,”
“Tell me thank you geez, until terjura I tuh,”
“Lebay ah,”
“Yes for saying thank you mulu,”
“Kor dong, I ‘kan dengkalankan kemancang,”
“Dah yuk ride, handle yes, Ren,”
“No,”
“Why don't you want?”
“Ya what? I ‘kan not a child who is afraid of falling,”
“Yeah, you never see a passenger holding a driver huh? Hmm?”
“Often, but ‘kan if I don't want,”
“Yes is okay, as long as you do not sleepy yes,”
“No, relax,”
Arani gets on the bike. He sat right behind Areno who was ready to ride his motorcycle to the Arani residence.
“To my home ‘kan, Ren?”
“Yes, where are you afraid I'm taking you anyway? It's clear to your house,”
“Only want mastiin, Ren,”
“Quiet, I'll drive home safely,”
Areno pressed his motor horn when passing through the security post while he raised his one hand goodbye to Mr. Supreme who had been a chatter friend and joking since.
Areno riding a motorcycle with a normal speed even tends to be slow in accordance with Arani's request earlier. He did not want Arani to be scared.
“There's a cat, Ren, look out yeah don't crash,”
“Iya I saw,”
Only then did Arani talk like that suddenly the cat even ran towards his motorbike and it made Areno spontaneously use the brake suddenly.
“Astaghfirullah, Areno!”
“Sorry-sorry, Ran. I didn't accidentally, that's why he ran here,”
“Mau bundled times yes,”
“Sorry yes, I did not accidentally, really,”
Then the cat even lay in front of the wheel Areno motorbike. “Udah crazy this cat. Where is his brain?! Why try abis run, make people shocked, eh now even fall. Damn you cing! Have a brain tuh dipake to think, geblek!”
“Areno, actually the big one is you or the cat?” Arani asked who had involuntarily wrapped her hands around Areno's waist and the two of them were both unaware of it.
“Yes her cat is. I'm not smart, I'm smart, Ran, I'm human,”
“It looks like you are a big one,” said Arani with ketus.
“Lho how do you even do me anyway?”
“Lah, I'm not doing you. I'm asking now, does the cat have a mind, right? She ‘kan not human,”
Areno was silent and realized his stupidity. His mouth shut, and immediately scratched his forehead. Arani was blown away as Areno was at a loss for words.
“So who's buzzing dong?”
“He is still! I don't want to be wronged,”
“Ih but he can't think, Areno,”
“Yes but still wrong, he why do we try nyamperin? Where the fall again, dih not very clear,”
Areno returned to the motorbike, away from the cat that had just made Areno angry.
After a few minutes of continuing the journey, Areno only realized that Arani wrapped around his waist with both hands. Areno smiled, looking down to see Arani's hand encircling her waist,
“This is like he did not realize, hahahaha very happy I anjir! Just this time hugged Arani on the motor uhuy senengnya in the heart, Areno's inner” which ended with a kick but he celebrated his happiness was secretly without Arani know. He was really a pleasure because right now Arani was hugging his waist.
“Cats were of some use too. If there is no him, Arani will not hold the same I nih,”
Areno held back a smile as she happened to glance at the rearview mirror. Arani frowned for a while, when he saw Areno like he was holding back a smile.
Instantly Arani realized that his hand was reaching Areno's waist. He instantly removed Areno's waist without further ado.
“Yes Allah, sorry-sorry, I did not intentionally, not consciously, I apologize yes,”
“Yeah, how come it's released anyway? I ‘kan gladly hugged you from behind,”
“I didn't accidentally, I shouldn't have held onto you, just because you brake suddenly so I don't realize that I hug you, sorry once again, sorry,” said Arani who has such guilt.
“Jeez, that's okay. I'm happy,”
Arani patted Areno's arm to vent his sense of regret. “You can't dong mode!” Said it with a ketus.
“I don't mode, I ‘kan made happy with you because hugged you. You times that mode hug me,”
“Ih I did not intentionally! You hear that anyway? Do I need to remove the helmet first?”
“You don't have the mode?”
“Ngak! Why am I the same mode as you. I don't want to hold on to you, I said. I didn't mean it, Areno. Because you brake suddenly, I became the handle to you,” said Arani explained again that He accidentally hugged Areno waist. Because the cat ran towards the Areno motor, Areno finally brake suddenly, in that moment He spontaneously wrapped his hands around Areno's waist.
“In focus only drive, Ren, don't think of cats anymore, or think I hugged you earlier,”
“Iya I always focus, Ran, just calm, even though actually sad anyway, why don't you want to hug me for long, at least until your home is,”
“Huuu mode! That's what you want! Can't be in mode, Areno!”
“Once in a while hugged you,”
“It was the first time, and the last time was yes, Ren. I'm sorry about that, too, actually,”
“Hahahaha how first and last? If we get married, you don't want to hug me? Hmm?”
“You think the distance know not anyway? I thought about marriage,”
“Nnot far away, my age is legal actually, so if marriage now is really okay,”,”
“It's young,”
“You want to marry young?”
“If I am a young marriage, or not, it does not matter, when a mate is given, I will accept it,”
“Means how am I supposed to be? Also accept ‘kan?”
Arani breathed a rough breath. Areno, if it's annoying mode, sometimes makes Arani so out of words.
“Answers dong, Ran,”
“Your question is not clear, you are very happy anyway,”
“Lho, not clear where to try?”
“Yes not clear,”
“I ‘kan nanya, if I'm a match you mean you accept?”
“What do you think?”
“Yes where do I know, I can't guess your answer, Arani beautiful,”
“Yes guess what,”
“Can't ah, fear wrong nebak,”
“If you are already a matchmaker yes I definitely accept,”
“Assyik very happy to hear,”
********
Areno helps Arani take off her raincoat and helmet after arriving at Arani's house. He smiled and looked at Aranu.
“Thank you for going home with me, honestly I'm really happy, Tan. I can proof ‘kan if I can take you home safely even though it rains,”
“I should say thanks because ‘kkan you who drove me home safely. Thanks for being repotted, oh yes thanks also popcorn yes, I will abisin later,”
“Who said ngerepotin? Even I'm happy to be home with you, for you, don't say thank you. I'm enough to say thanks. Going home is a great joy for me, Ran,”
Arani rotates her eyeballs while sneering at “Lebay you.” And Areno who heard that chuckled.
“Ngak lebai dong, really really. It was a word that came out of the heart. Yes you have entered, immediately rest yes,”, Areno said to Arani who had just returned home with him.
“Still once again,”
Arani is happy to get home safely. Areno just wanted to be bothered by him. And the worry that had been in the heart, just in case Areno would do something to him during heavy rain like that, did not seriously drive home, did not happen. Areno could keep his word. Somehow Zeline is now very difficult to believe in people because many people are trusted even a stab from behind,”
“Be careful, Ren. No need to bring the bike. On the slippery road, it was raining. Speeding dikit, can flickering,”
“Yes, Mr. princess. Thanks for letting me know yes, feel very careful with you,” said Areno while laughing. Though in fact Arani should order like that because it is a slippery road once after rain, but Areno's reaction can be said to be excessive. Understandably, Arani rarely messages like that to him.
Areno climbed back on his bike to go home, but the door opened showing a surprised Helen.
“Alhamdulillah, have you gone home, Ran, uh the same Areno?”
More surprised when he saw the man wearing a raincoat and helmet on his head was Areno.
Areno got off the bike and even took off the helmet he was wearing and then kissed Shefia's hand..
“Your hands are cold, Daf. Enter first yuk, drink warm tea,”
“No need, Aunt. I'm going straight home,”
“Thank you already interra Arani yes, Ren, may your kindness be reciprocated also the same Alah, aamiin,”
“Sama-sama, Aunt. I am so happy to be back with Arani. Sorry only until now, because the rain is waiting a bit subsided,”
“It is, Auntie understands. Thanks again, really do not want to enter first?”
“Iya enter aja,” said Arani who finally invited the man who drove him home earlier to enter the house first, warm his body.
“No, Aunt, Ran. I want to go straight home. Thanks in advance, fear even more rain,”
“Ya already if so be careful yes,” Shefia message to Areno does not want a smile. He considered this a form of effort to restore the trust of Arani's parents to him, and eliminate the assumption that He was an ordinary man.
“Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam, be careful yes, Ren,”
“Iya, Aunt,”
Areno returned to wearing a helmet, and after that drove the bike at a normal speed, leaving Arani and his mother who stared at Areno's departure until Areno disappeared from the eye peluk.
“I'm not going home with papa, Ma. You see, if papa had to turn to my campus first, he said it was jammed. That's why I asked my dad to go straight home. Well I can ride the ojek, but papa is worried he said, yes I told you to ride the car. Eh areno even ngajakin together continue, yes I've finally been with him. Coincidentally, he had wanted to wait for me to be picked up by papa,”
“Iya papa also tuh story to mama if it is jammed really he said, there is a flood as well. Come in yuk, you have to take a warm bath, keep wearing warm clothes too, Ran. Mama will make tea or warm milk, what do you want?”
“Later to make my own, Ma,”
“No need, Mama. What do you want?”
“Susu aja, Ma. Thanks yes, Ma,”
“Iya equally,”
Helen and I entered the house. Helen immediately told her son to hurry to the second floor where his room was and immediately take a shower.
Once in the room, Arani immediately took off her socks, put her bag on the table near the sofa, and rushed to the bathroom.
He bathed in warm water for about thirty minutes because of all the soaking, after which he came out of the bathroom.
“Padahal already wear raincoat but still feel cold yes. The cold felt pretty prickly to the body, warm water really rescue emang,”
Arani was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants. He combed his hair, using body lotion after that down to the ground floor. He went to the dining room, and there saw his mother sitting on one of the chairs.
“Susu has not been brewed mama fear you soak so long bath, uh it turns out really quite long ‘kan,” said Helen while moving to the kitchen to brew milk for her child.
“You want to make what else, son? Fried banana want?”
“Ngak, Mom. Enough milk, Ma,”
Arani approached her mother who had finished brewing milk for her. He immediately took over.
“Still yes, Ma,”
“Sama-sama, drink directly until it runs out so that the stomach is warm,”
“Mama know I'm soaking?”
“Yes because long time, you if shower ‘kan not long, if a little long means soak first,”
Arani chuckles at the words of his mother who only knows that he is soaking, because memorize his habit if the bath never spent a long time.
They sat in the dining room again facing each other. Arani while enjoying her warm milk while Helen takes a small container in the middle of the dining table containing fried dumplings.
“Nih snack, Ran,”
“Ngak, Mom. I'm full, I finished popcorn “
“Oh on campus?”
“Yes, purchased with Areno,”
“Kok can be purchased with Areno?”
“The story is really funny, Ma,”
“Why? Story to mom try,”
“If I was with Arani was waiting for the rain to stop at the campus security post. Well, I just want popcorn, but that's just me from saying, I don't really want popcorn, uh the Areno confused me because he suddenly ran out of the rain post and he said he wanted to buy popcorn for me. It's strange that person, even though I just want to say uh taken seriously with him,”
“Hahahah how to get to Areno huh, Kak?”
“Yes that's why I'm confused, Ma. How come he gets to rain neroboso, just because I miss popcorn. I feel guilty, I want to nyamperin him to the campus cafeteria but I do not have an umbrella I finally borrow with Mr. Agung who happens to be guarding in the post. And I keep samperin he wears an umbrella, and he actually buys me popcorn. There were two, he said to all of me. One I ate, the other I got in the bag. And we go home, because the rain has subsided,”
“Other times you have to be careful when talking, son. Because it turns out Areno can be as much as what you say,”
“That's what I thought, Ma. I ‘kan his son emang sometimes like origin nyeletuk ya, Ma. For example, ‘Bakso yummy ujan’ but ‘kan not necessarily I really want meatballs, just the origin of talking,”
“Areno thought, the woman ‘kan toy codes, so if you hear the talk is considered the same code he,”
Arani patted her forehead with a puffed-up face. Helen laughs at her son who still seems to be inexhaustible with what Areno is doing.
“That makes me surprised, he was calm in the post, uh suddenly ran away as soon as I talked popcorn. I was confused there, and I felt guilty too. Want nyamperin, I do not have an umbrella, thankfully Mr. Agung has. So I can borrow it. His intention so that he fit back into the post was not rained again. Eh turned out to be a bit subsided, finally I told him to take the motorcycle using the umbrella, while I was in the canteen just waiting for him to take the motor, after we went home deh,”
“Macet on the road?”
“Iya but jammed just a minute, Ma,”
“No idea that Areno has arrived home or not. Mama thanks very much to him because he already wants to bother raining between you,”
