Chapter 25 Confession
Flashbacks
Qanita came out of the house and walked towards the gate. He intends to go Irtiza's house to meet Arsen. Qanita walked leisurely while occasionally humming ria to cover her nervousness.
Arriving in front of the gate of Arsen's house immediately Qanita squeezed the bell, and waited with nervousness that increasingly whack his chest. Not long after he saw the door of Arsen's house open and he saw Irtiza on the doorstep. In spirit he stepped towards the gate and opened it to Qanita.
“Assalamualaikum Ca.” He said with a thin smile.
“Waalaikumussalam.” Irtiza answered Qanita's greeting. “How are you?” Ask back and hug Qanita.
“Alhamdulillah good Ca.”
“Come in yuk.” Take Irtiza while holding Qanita's hand.
Slowly Qanita's steps led to the front door of Arsen's house with her hands still held by Irtiza.
“Ma, pa, no guests ni.” Irtiza said that leads to the middle room where her parents are.
“Loooh, Anit.” Said Diana who was quite surprised. Moderately, Qanita just smiled.
“Assalamualaikum, aunt.” Greetings to Arsen's parents and kiss their hands.
“Waalaikumussalam.” Diana and Saad answered at the same time.
“How are you doing nak ?” Diana asked as she let Qanita sit down.
“Alhamdulillah good tan.”
“Syiffa equals Rafay how ?” Ask Saad then.
“Both also om. Almdulillah.” Answer Qanita again.
“Lia how about ?” Diana asked back while imagining the bulging cheeks of her best friend's granddaughter.
“More funny tan.” Qanita answered with a big smile and imagined the more funny his nephew was.
Qanita looked at the direction as if she was looking for something. Saad realized this and said, “He's out, it looks like he's going to his cafe.” Said Saad suddenly and surprised Qanita.
A second later his face met with red and felt like he was wet that he was looking for Arsen. He lowered his gaze and closed his eyes showing how lazy he was.
“Eee, if so I pay first om, aunt.” said Qanita.
“Loooh, how to rush Anit. What is this drink dong ?” Tanya Irtiza who walked from the kitchen.
“Mmm, make you aja Ca.” Qanita replied with a distinctive smile and displayed her dimples.
“Iya already, papa aja who drank ntar.” Chirps Saad.
“Assalamualaikum.” Pamit Qanita and get out of the seat.
“Waalaikumussalam.” Answer them in unison.
Diana and Saad only looked at each other and commented on the faint smile after seeing Qanita's back towards the door of her house.
Upon his return from Arsen's house, he headed straight for the room and took the keys to his motorbike. Then say goodbye to his parents to the cafe.
***
Arriving in front of the cafe, he saw the sports bike Arsen parked neatly. Then he walked into the cafe. Long enough he stood observing around to look for Arsen's whereabouts.
His nervousness is now increasingly so, he is afraid if Arsen is with his friends or even with other girls. But the thought was soon dismissed. Now his gaze caught the back of a man sitting alone on one of the benches in the corner.
He stepped slowly while convincing himself whether what he saw was Arsen's true back or vice versa. Slowly he stepped and settled like he was hiding because he was caught wet making a mistake.
While the man who was sitting alone was not aware of the existence of Qanita behind him. Until Qanita heard her very soft murmur.
“I'm tired of kayak gini keep.”
“Mau this difficult mengelupain.” Qanita flinched as Arsen's body landed forcefully on the seat. He was afraid that Arsen realized his existence behind the chair that was being occupied by the man.
Then he listened back to Arsen's voice very soft “I'll take care and forget you.” even hamipr is not heard if only he was far enough behind Arsen.
Gathering courage, Qanita asked Arsen's statement. “Serious ?” Ask the man who is looking at him.
Arsen was so shocked to hear a voice coming from behind him, and immediately turned his body to see who said. Her eyes widened to see Qanita with a wide smile adorning her face.
“Qa.” Her speech and gaze followed Qanita's steps.
“Hm ?” Qanita answered and stood in front of Arsen's desk.
Arsen was speechless when he saw Qanita who was so close to him.
“Assalamualaikum.” Sapa Qanita's.
Arsen did not respond to Qanita's greetings, instead he spread his arms and walked over to Qanita. Immediately, Qanita moved both of her hands and walked backwards.
“Astagfirullah. Waalaikumussalam.” Said Arsen who realized the mistake and answered his greetings. “Sorry, sorry Qa.” His ink is down.
Qanita sat her body in Arsen's front seat. The same thing Arsen did. After sitting down, Qanita stared at the direction and looked for something. “Let's what ?” Ask Arsen.
“You alone ?” Ask Qanita.
“Yes, here's proof the cup is just one.” Pointing the cup in front of him.
“Oh.” Say Qanita and look for the cafe waitress.
“What's the message ?” Asked Arsen who stood up from his seat and immediately got a look from Qanita.
“Hmm, warm matcha aja.” Said, and saw Arsen walking away from him “Where are you going?” Ask.
“Laaah, want to order.” Arsenic.
“No need, I'm aja.” Qanita.
Arsen flipped his body perfectly against Qanita “sit.” Pinta Arsen with great emphasis and left Qanita. Qanita was surprised by it and complied.
After how long Arsen stepped back to Qanita's place, and sat his body again. Long they were immersed in each other's thoughts without anyone daring to open the conversation. Until the cafe waiter came to bring Arsen's order. In the tray there is a cup containing matcha and a plate of cookies favorite Qanita.
“I want to apologize.” Qanita said with a downcast look.
Arsen frowned because he did not understand “I mean ?”
“Iyaa, I'm sorry. I thought about it yesterday.” Answer clarifies.
Arsen just smiled and stared fixedly at Qanita “I'm supposed to apologize, and thank you for coming back to your house. Already not avoiding me.” Arsenic.
Hearing Arsen's last sentence makes Qanita's eyes widened “Who is also the one who avoid you. Very confident.” Qanita defended herself with a sharp.
“She's back.” Inner Arsenic. “Iya, yes. No.” Arsen said pruning seeds that could have been the subject of their debate. “Tau from where am I here ?” Ask back.
“So I came to your house, said om Saad you kecafe. That's why I'm here.” He answered, lifting the cup in front of him.
“You're looking for me ? You miss me ?” Arsen asked by investigating and making Qanita die of lice.
“Ish, really nice. I'm going home.” Will move from the chair.
“iya, yes.” Said Arsen who seemed to be unceasingly teasing Qanita. “Why, why suddenly apologize so?” Arsen asked back like a teasing tone.
Qanita simply poked her lips and looked at Arsen sharply. Then she told him what Andri and Tria had done to her.
“Waaah, looks like I should thank them both very much.” Arsen said after hearing Qanita's explanation.
“Iya indeed, should it.” Agree to Qanita and eat the cookies he has taken.
“What do you know now ? If you were the only one ?” Ask Arsen.
Qanita stopped her chewing after hearing Arsen's question. “Cih!” He lifted one corner of his lips. “And do you know that actually from the first I only put your heart to safety?”
Arsen was shocked half to death hearing Qanita talk like that “Then why do you hate me ?”
“Yeah because I don't know, uh exactly not aware of what I believe in you. I hate it when you date other girls, and all of a sudden you come and I'm dating. I hate it, you just know me after being in a relationship with yaah, I can't itung how many ex you.” Clearly Qanita and pursed her lips looked at Arsen sharply.
Arsen just smiled looking at Qanita's expression. “That I also do for your hindarin, so that my feeling of your strength does not get bigger. But apparently. Never mind, yes I'm sorry, for all my mistakes.”
“Hm.” Dehem Qanita and drank matcha in his cup.
“You when ?” Ask Arsen.
“What's the ?” Qanita asked back because she did not understand.
“You are proposed when ?” Arsen made the question clear.
Qanita was shocked and looked over her head looking for a lie on Arsen's face but could not find it.
“Ne-know.” Qanita said briefly.
“Ya is now aja.” Arsen moved from his seat.
“Ngawur.” Said Qanita with an annoyed face.
“Laaah, he said he didn't know. Yes what the hell.” Said Arsen and sat down again.
“Yes but not now.” Qanita.
For quite a while they make small talk after making up and time goes by quickly. Arsen was eager to linger with Qanita. But the time has shown at 21:15 and Qanita also has to go home soon.
“Come home. It's like this hour.” Bring Arsen.
Qanita just nodded and followed Arsen out of the cafe.
