THIS TASTE? [ END ]

ILL

Vano slightly shifted as he watched, Cilla came. Cilla himself was confused, why was Vano still there? However, Cilla did not dare to ask. Shortly after, the bus arrived. Everything went up into it. Cilla chose a different chair. He was really not ready if he had to go back to arguing with her. A few minutes later, the two arrived and got off the bus. Cilla walked in front while Vano was a few steps behind him. Cilla tried to be calm even though her heart was riled up.

Unexpectedly, the rain fell suddenly making everyone confused, looking for a place to shelter. Not a few who choose shelter on the terrace of closed shops. Safe enough at first until later, strong winds make rainwater splash everywhere. Vano and Cilla are soaking wet. Not only that, Cilla was seen biting her lips as her body began to tremble. Seeing that, Vano pulled Villa into his jacket. Vano hugged Cilla tightly. Cilla tried to push but Vano tightened his embrace.

"Don't move much! it's cold in here, it could hurt later."

Cilla who had indeed been shivering, was finally silent. About ten minutes later, the wind calmed down and the rain slowly subsided. Cilla shuffled out of the jacket while taking off Vano's embrace. Vano also improved his standing position and started walking. Behind her, Cilla sneezed a few times. Vano who had walked before then stopped and then pulled Cilla to the clinic inside their university. After being examined and given medication, Cilla was allowed to return.

"Thank you!" said Cilla, lirih.

"Hemm, hurry back to the dormitory, take a warm bath, take some medicine and then rest!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'll take you to the front of the dorm!"

"Yes." Yeah."

It felt very awkward, walking along with Vano. The rain is no longer coming. They and walk calmly through one park to another, the lake until then arrive in front of the dormitory. Cilla stood facing Vano, thanked him and walked into the dormitory. Vano looked at Cilla until it was gone from his sight. Only after that, he turned towards his dorm.

"Cilla, are you okay? there was a rainstorm just now" asked Nita.

"My body has the flu, I'm gonna take a warm bath for a while and take some medicine!"

"Oh yes, I have food for you to eat before taking the medicine."

"Thank you!"

"Where's your job today, Van?" ask Fian.

"Very smooth and pleasant," replied Vano while smiling to make both friends astonished.

"Is your student that pretty girl that makes you so happy?" ask Arka.

Vano quickly changed his happy expression to flat and replied:

"I'm a boy and I'm still in elementary school."

"Pedophiles?"

"Heiisss. you are this ..."

"Well.."

The atmosphere of the room became boisterous because of the joke that Arka threw.

...🍁🍁🍁...

Both Cilla and Vano, rethink their togetherness today. Vano smiled as he recalled the exact decision he made to wait for Cilla at the bus stop for two hours. Which ultimately makes both of them trapped in a rainstorm. The atmosphere that had managed to melt the chunks of ice in his chest. Makes it warm even though the weather is actually, very cold. Vano was convinced, the attention he gave today was able to shake the heart of Cilla.

{"I'm sure, there's me there too. Slowly, this will work.} said Vano in the heart.
