The Story of the Ordinary Girl

Ardi's Feelings

Happy reading ....

In addition to work, Ardi is also still active with his college friends for band and sometimes, after the recording he gave a CD of his recording for me to review, ask for advice and also assessment.

One day I introduced Ardi to my cousin Megha, Megha is still in high school today, just like I should have been. And every day Ardi always questioned Megha's news to me,

"What is loe nanyain Megha mulu?"

"I like him" he said shamelessly.

"Bokin loe mo in humanity?" I left him, to continue my work.

Ardi chased after me, and said.

"Gue didn't have a boyfriend, broke up last week!"

"Yes whatever!!" I said lazy to argue with him.

"Seriously Zie, I like him a lot."

"Wasn't he how?"

"Well, support the cake, matchlangin matchlangin, yes! Please," his whine kept tailing as I did my job.

"Gawe loe sono! eat blind paycheck loe follow me mulu."

"But promise me a match, yes!"

"I want to help you." I poked my lips into his whimper.

I purposely gave Ardi Megha's phone number so that he could approach himself. And it seems like every day they are getting closer even though they only meet through a voice on the phone. So ease my promise to Ardi to fight them.

A month passed, and at this time, I brought an invitation to Ardi and also my other friends who knew Megha, because three more days, Megha 17th birthday.

My friends are happy to get a sweet seventeen invitation from Megha, especially Ardi, do not ask how happy he is. He plans to shoot Megha at his birthday party. Yes, even though I am not sure Ardi will be accepted, but I still give him support and encouragement, even so, I still want to wait so as not to be disappointed if He turns out to be rejected.

*****

The day that Ardi was waiting for finally arrived, tonight Megha is birthday, Tuesday night is Wednesday, right on the date and month of his birth we are ready to party.

I did deliberately go home to Megha to stay there, to help with the preparation of the event.

The house has been beautifully decorated, the ice sculptures that make up the number seventeen and various other shapes, neatly lined up in place. There are shaped fruit that is filled with various kinds of fruits, some are in the form of geese, and some are heart-shaped. Everything became a decoration tonight, coupled with a row of lights and flowers.

Music was not left behind to accompany our party tonight, there was even a dance session accompanying Megha. The disco lights are installed, enliven the atmosphere with flickering.

Me and my friends, prefer to be separated from Megha's friends and companions, and we form our own group there. Although there are some friends of Megha who also know me, but I prefer to accompany my friends and friends from where I work.

While busy chatting and joking while enjoying the dish, suddenly boisterous sounds came from the direction Megha was in. It turns out that a schoolmate is expressing love to Megha by carrying a bouquet of flowers and a ring in a box as her birthday gift.

I immediately turned to Ardi who must have been anxious to hear the answer from Megha for his schoolmate. Sure enough, I saw Ardi choose to pretend to ignore the event with a face that could very much describe, 'anxious' that is the color of the face that I currently see from the look on his face.

At this time very boisterous voices inside calling the word 'accept' repeatedly from the invited guests who are none other than Megha school friends.

I watched as Megha received a bouquet of flowers and gifts from Harry's hands, and performed the hug in front of his friends, which means they are now officially dating. A huge round of applause from all the invited guests.

What caught my attention was no longer the couple who are now officially dating, but the expression of disappointment that was so visible from an Ardi, even though He tried to hide it by throwing jokes and laughter at other friends, he said, but I know his heart must be holding back a deep sense of disappointment.

The night is getting late, but the party is not over. Ardi and my friends decided to go home early leaving a party that no longer seemed interesting to him.

"Where's Loe coming home?" I asked Ardi.

"That's right there!" Ardi pointed the way towards the highway.

"Snapkot?"

"Yes, I was escorted back here, so .. go home."

"Yes Di, along with Andre aja, so there will be a meeting" I said.

"Males very I walk, it's the same I nganterin him, well I still have to walk again into the housing." Ardi timpal.

"Yes, you're with the kids, be careful, yeah," said I who realized Ardi's words had a point.

Before Ardi could truly leave, he whispered in my ear.

"The gift from me if you can take yes, do not get Megha open." he whispered.

"Why napa?" kilahku, trying to refuse.

"Please Zie, I'm ashamed, it's a statement of my feelings it's in."

"So, look at it."

Hearing the uncertainty of my answer, Ardi cupped his hands together in his chest. "Please ..." he said begging.

"Yes, if I go to get umpetin."

"Thanks yes," Ardi said before actually stepping away. The one I answered with a nod accompanied by a faint smile.

After the departure of friends, I decided to enter Megha's room, which was always my room as well when I stayed here.

But as I was about to go to the room, I crossed paths with Megha.

"Where are you going Dis?"

"Room! go to sleep first, yes" I said.

"Don't dong, it's not done yet."

"Gue tomorrow gawe cuy," I said still trying to refuse.

"Whatever!" Megha grumbled in annoyance at my reasoning.

From the past, I have indeed often succumbed to her, Megha including the girl who is usually spoiled by her Father and Umi, so I am also accustomed to succumbing to her happiness. That's why he's not used to rejection.

Just as I was about to continue my steps, I saw Father and Umi who were still awake in the next room.

"Dad, Umi, not yet asleep?"

"There are still many guests of Dis, when we sleep," replied Dad.

I stopped going to the room and chose to accompany them. On the sidelines of our conversation, Umi who knew Ardi and knew his closeness to Megha questioned him and my other friends who had said goodbye to come home early.

"Tomorrow Mi's work, afraid of bad times, so on back first." I replied.

"Oh yeah, girls work tomorrow too, right? Yes already slept there, afraid of tomorrow's bad luck." said Umi who realized my obligation as a worker.

"Ga anything Mi, I'm not sleepy yet really, I nemenin first Umi aja ma Daddy here. Some of the power is fleeting as well, right? I went home with some of the guests." I explained.

Finally I actually accompanied Umi and Dad until the event was over. It is heartless to have to enter the room first, while they are still awake. After all, I'm sure .. With music that's still playing pretty loud, I'd have a hard time closing my eyes.

After the guests all went home, I joined Megha in the room, to rest.

Megha, who asked me to open the gifts when I was in the room, gave me the opportunity to find Ardi's gift, and if lucky, maybe I could hide it at Ardi's request.

One by one the gifts were opened, and when I saw the small rectangular boxes of navy, sweetened with light green ribbons, I grabbed them and was about to hide them behind my body. But alas, my action was spotted by Megha, who then asked for the box to open.

"Dis! This is from Ardi?" he asked when he saw the contents of the box, which turned out to be a white rose with a statement of his feelings.

"He'em," I muttered, answering his question.

"Yeah, how's dong? Pantes was he went straight home, kasian ..." he said with a clear face looking a little regret.

"Nothing, the feeling can not be forced, even more so if you accept him because of kasian!" my tukas.
