The Story of the Ordinary Girl

A Day with Ardi

After that day, the following days I passed by as usual, today happened to be Saturday. Usually we work half a day, but because the order of marketing is quite a lot, we are ordered to overtime until the afternoon.

While on break, Ardi approached me who was having lunch. I usually eat and gather with the rows of guys near the meatballs, but today, today, I ate one table with one of the section heads there, which I often call Ms. Liz.

"Sir," said Ardi to Mbak Liz, nodding his head. Which made me look up as well when I heard that greeting.

"Why At?" liz's response to him.

"Anu .. Would you like to say something to a girl for a minute?"

"ooh .. please, consider it a statue," joked Mbak Liz responding to Ardi's request.

"What's Di?" ask me directly, after hearing their conversation.

"Tomorrow so yes,"

"Yes," briefly.

"Gue to the house?"

"No need, I'll go home from work dech I tell you," I started to get uncomfortable with chatter and the views of friends and other workers.

"okay!" in short, while holding one thumb.

"Thank you Ma'am" he added, to Ms Liz before leaving our dining table.

"Hmmm" muttered Liz, without stopping her eating.

From the momentary conversation just now, it turned out to invite a lot of chatter and teasing, among my friends.

Some keep removing the ledge with cie .. cie .. or even deheman made-up. While I was reluctant to respond, because there was nothing between Me and Ardi ... I'm just cuex.

The front road of the factory is still full of employees waiting for the angkot, as well as their invitation. And Ardi was waiting by leaning against the factory fence.

When I approached him, no doubt the other children who saw, immediately mocked with their babble.

"What siih? kek has never seen me talk to a guy, but I'm all a guy, mamen!" I shouted at all the friends who were pulling out their taps and babbles, while stomping a fist at my left chest.

And it just so happened that Aris also passed in front of us, "Jagain Adek me yes!" the message, while patting Ardi's shoulder.

"What siii? people were just talking doank," I glanced at Aris who was still standing in front of us. And Aris just let out a smile, which other girls said, could make them melt. But not for Me, make me smile like an angel-clad demon grin, because I know how he behaves, on the basis of all the stories of Aris himself.

I stuck out my tongue at Aris who was beginning to pass, just like Sister to her Brother who was also greeted with a blink of an eye that made me pretend to shudder.

"Tomorrow I'll take you to Loe's house?" Without waiting for me to finish with Aris's joke, Ardi immediately said.

"No need, Loe wait in front of the housing, I will nyamperin Loe. Ten o'clock, right?" many ensure.

"Yes, yeah. Tomorrow I'll wait in front of the pharmacy." Ardi said yes, then we will go back to their respective destinations.

I went to my house, and he went to his base camp, where they used to rehearse bands and get-togethers. Especially this is Sunday night.

Rahma who had been waiting for angkot, apparently had not moved on the roadside under the banyan tree.

"Not home yet?" my many.

"Well, go home with you?" My words were only answered with a smile and a nod by him. I can understand, maybe Rahma was tired, because I felt how hard the work today was.

No matter how long, angkot who want to go to Bogor city turn around in front of us, so we can freely to get a comfortable seat.

After rendering the body, the angkot began to fill up, and drove off. I tried to open the conversation. I don't think it's cool if we know each other, sit together in an angkot, but don't talk to each other.

"What a tape, Ma?"

"He'eum, orders a lot more. Feet I ampe gempor langsirin goods!" lamented Rahma.

"Eyeah, I also. What's the difference try?" timpal.

"Yes, huh?" said Rahma, who then made us both laugh.

The distance between the factory and the stop of my destination is not too far away, so in an instant, I've stopped the angkot I've boarded.

"First yes Ma" I said to Rahma.

"Yes, baek-baek Loe," he replied, and did not forget to warn me to be careful. Because my journey is still long from there.

I'm used to walking to drive home from the angkot stop alley, only occasionally I take ojek sometimes. That's even if I'm in a hurry or really tired.

****

This morning I woke up as usual, not shower immediately because it's Sunday, usually it's a free day of bathing for me, want to shower or not, anyway I'm not going anywhere I think. So I used to spend time in front of the television. Watching my favorite show is Doraemon, a Japanese cartoon I've been watching since I was a toddler.

It didn't feel like it was getting any more noon, when I went back to the room, and saw a wakker-shaped flip-flop clock neatly arranged on a small table beside my bed, I suddenly remembered something, 'Ardi' oh my God, why did I forget!

I immediately grabbed the thump hanging behind the door of my room, rushed to the bathroom and got ready to leave to fulfill the appointment.

"Alhamdulillah .. I think if I walk is still quite timed, at least ten minutes walk leisurely also I have arrived," my monologue on the mirror that shows my face there. while tidying up my hair ties.

Yes ... I finally decided to walk to where we promised to meet, and according to my count. I arrived five minutes before ten, and by the time I got there, Ardi was already there, with a light brown checkered shirt, and straight pants that looked a bit wide, because of his tall and thin body.

"Sorry ... Have you been waiting?" sweep her.

"No, it's still less than five minutes." Ardi answered while showing the watch that was fluttering in his hand.

"Well, how do you want to go straight away?" tanyaku.

"Yes, come on!" take him with a step, leaving where he was standing.

I followed in his footsteps from behind, and as we were about to cross over, we waited for a moment, making sure it was safe from the passing of the vehicle in front of us.

Suddenly, his hand grabbed my hand, as we were about to step across. I was shocked, instead looked at Ardi who just kept walking, while leading me. My gaze I turned, as Ardi's eyes suddenly turned to me as we reached across the street.

"Why?" tanyakanya.

"no papa," I answered his question. Feel like a thief caught red-handed.

We waited for the city transport on the side of the highway, and when an angkot stopped right in front of us, we boarded it.
