Tidying Up Asa, Inviting Hidayah

88. Pay With Your Smile

...🍁I've never felt a world as beautiful as this, when I see a smile on your sweet lips.🍁...

Hara

I don't think about Jenar's behavior. Earlier this morning, he looked bete and uninspired. It's almost like a tangled cloth that's never ironed. However, now he seemed to be waving his hands out the car window cheerfully. As if he had forgotten this morning he was thinking too much about something uncertain.

I turned to the side at a glance, Jenar was still looking outside. Until the luxury boarding house building is no longer visible in the back, the girl just turned her eyes.

“Udah relieved now?” I asked, while turning on the car audio.

From the tail of my eyes, I saw Jenar turn her head while nodding. The traffic was smoothly crowded in the Mlati area, so I could drive the vehicle without significant obstacles.

“How were you? Aina is angry with you or not?”

Earlier this morning, Jenar asked to be transferred to campus. He called later said Aina did not enter again, then wanted to go to Aina's boarding house after college. Funnily enough, he did not know the full address and the road to Aina's boarding house, only memorizing the characteristics of his house.

What a strange girl! Actually I'm the stranger, because I can't let it go on its own. Like a man with a lack of work, I asked Gus Hafidz for Aina's address, picked up Jenar on campus, and drove her. Not until there, I also waited until he was satisfied to pour heart to Aina.

“It turns out Aina is not angry with me, Mr.” replied Jenar. His tone was more carefree than this morning, “He was really sick, lemes, until he did not get up yesterday. It was still a shoot. He did not answer my message because of dizziness if you see the screen hp.”

“That means your worries are unproven, dong?”

Jenar shook her head, then asked, “I'm more, yes, Mr Hara?”

Hearing that question, I wanted to advise him. It will be troublesome for yourself and others too, if he always has excessive worries.

“Worry is reasonable, may. Which should not be if your worries are too excessive, so you spend energy to think about something that is actually not important. Like you think Aina's attitude until angry, crying, not good breakfast, until not excited to go to campus. But what really happened, what? He's not mad at you, is he?”

Kulrik on the left, Jenar looks down while playing fingers. I started to get used to his attitude when he was agitated and feeling discouraged. This girl is easy to get carried away with feelings, tends to overthinking. Maybe because of the trauma he had experienced, he became too worried about something that could make him hurt.

“I bummer, yes, sir?” jenar's voice was soft, but it was clearly in my ear.

“Nebelin, hell, but gusahin!” my ketus. Intention to realize that the habit of worrying too much, can be troublesome for yourself and others.

However, Jenar felt guilty. It turns out that I have not really understood the nature of being too carried away by feelings.

“I'm sorry, huh? Pak Hara so hard and bothered because of me.” lirihnya again.

I turned my eyes to the side for a moment, trying hard to focus on driving undisturbed. Confused how to talk to this innocent girl, so as not to misunderstand. Though I just meant to make him aware and stop overthinking things that are not important.

“Pak Hara angry?”

I looked over for a moment, finding Jenar's face full of guilt. She was staring at me, my God .. those eyes! Immediately I divert the straight-forward view, in order to avoid sharp eyes that are as clear as crystal.

If he looked at me like that, we could not both get home, but instead go to the hospital. I couldn't stand the irregular heartbeat, causing my driving focus to fall apart.

“Sorry, yes, Mr. Hara. This is the last time I took grepotin, be-”

I immediately cut off Jenar's sentence firmly, “I'm not angry!”

“Lying! Mr. Hara was silent from earlier, must have been angry, right?” Jenar. I glanced at the inner rearview, his face was funny when he was sulking and it comforted me.

“Yes, I'm angry! Satisfied?”

“Nah, right? Mr. Hara is really angry, please lie all.” Jenar. If I hadn't been driving, I'd have tugged at his pouting lips. This girl is too innocent or what, anyway? How could he not know that I wanted to keep his feelings?

“I request ma-”

“Stop said sorry! Already more than 59 times today you say sorry today, I'm tired sorryin.” I spoke ketus, cut off the sentence Jenar.

The girl looked confused, like she was remembering while counting fingers. Lookie! Every single one of his actions made me want to laugh. Luckily I was still quite shrewd at hiding the expression of the heart.

“New feeling three times I'm sorry, deh. Mr. Hara was wrong to count, huh?”

This time I could not hold on anymore, it was the laughter I had been hiding since. Jesus, Jenar! It turned out that he had actually counted the spoken apologies. I was just making up.

“Pak Hara joking, yes?” Jenar grumbled, because I kept laughing.

“Ihh! Mr. Hara is so cranky, not funny!” the girl grumbled while throwing a face, but for a moment then she turned her head again while saying ketus, “Laughter continues, Sir. Satisfied my ngetawain, mumpung free!”

“I'm hungry, stop by to eat first, yes!” cetusku, while looking to the left to find a place to eat nearby.

“Udah magrib, Sir. Later last night until home, I do not want to explain to Ma'am Sayumi if you go home late.” Jenar rejected my proposal.

“I can't concentrate on driving when hungry. Ma'am Sayumi think change,”.

I'm not really hungry, just don't want to be quick to drive this girl home. Because I started to feel comfortable with him. Like I want to stop time from passing quickly.

“I don't want to pray late. Magrib time is only a short time, you know, sir.” Jenar is still negotiating.

“Find a place to eat that has a musolanya, or I take you first to the mosque. After that change you accompany me to eat, how?” I'm coming up with an idea that's not very bright.

“Not very practical, sir? The longer, dong, until his home.” grumbled Jenar. That was my goal, in order to prolong the journey.

“I drive, shuttle you from morning until now, later also pay for food. Still want to refuse? Confidence if there is still a lot of thought,” ketusku with a tone of annoyance that of course made-up, fishing so that Jenar does not overtime think.

“Actually still want to think, anyway. But because Mr. Hara said that, so he thought skipped. Okay fine! It's up to Mr. Hara said, as long as I was escorted home safely.” said Jenar while removing the phone. Probably want to give news to Ma'am Sayumi.

In my heart I felt relieved, at once astonished. Since when do I have the thought of manipulating time just to be able to stay longer with a girl? Isn't it worth a second to me, so dear to be thrown away for free? However, this afternoon I deliberately buy time for something that is not yet clear benefits.

“Eh, wait!” Jenar raised her hand, making me almost surprised. I slowed down the speed of the vehicle to hear him continue the sentence, “This is Mr. Hara my shuttle does not ask for payment, right? Last morning Mr. Hara himself wanted to nganter me, loh. Keep time until campus, Mr. Hara himself also said gini, ‘if you need any of my phone!’. that is, right?”

Holy hooch! This girl is always overthinking, huh? I had no thoughts of asking for payment. Precisely because he spoke like that, I came to think of a reward.

“Enak only do not ask for payment, obviously nothing is free in this world.” ketusku.

“I have guessed, surely Mr. Hara has hidden intentions. How much do I have to pay? Don't be expensive, my money is not much!”

Apparently enjoying the overthinking of Jenar is very fun. I turned a glance to answer his question, “I do not need to be paid using money?”

“Terus?” Jenar was really hooked, not knowing that I just wanted to prank her.

“Pay with your smile!” I answered the origin, coming from a thought that suddenly flashed across the brain.

“That's free? Very easy.” he said sure.

“Ya, already. Pay now!”

“Truly just wear a smile?”

“Yes, but sincere. If you pretend to smile, I do not accept.”

I pointed the steering wheel into the courtyard of the mosque located on the side of Magelang-Yogya road. A large mosque with a simple building. There are already several cars and motorcycles parked there, must belong to people who worship like Jenar. Worried about being late to pray if you want to continue the journey.

“Like this is sincere, right?” I looked up while pulling the handbrake.

The light beam from outside becomes a little light in a dark car. Clearly visible Jenar's face even if only with dim lighting. Dimples on both sides of the face are perfectly formed, beautifully complementing her natural beauty, plain without makeup polish. A curved smile on the lips, resulting in narrowed eyes, forming fine wrinkles around them.

Holy hooch! She's the one who smiles, but why does my chest feel like it's popping. Like there are colorful flower buds blooming in there, warm, beautiful and peaceful.

Hi guys!

In the previous chapter, it must have been because of the overlinking jenar huh? Who has experienced overthinking? Must've been average, dong, huh?

This habit isn't bad, is it? However, if it happens constantly and often, it must be addressed immediately. Because it can hurt yourself and others. Exhausting, thinking too much about anything excessive. Later become su'udzon with others, the danger again if up to su'udzon the same fate. Don't come, yeah.

So, yuk! control emotions so as not to overthinking excess😁*
