When I Should Choose
Chapter 3 What Is This Feeling?
Holy buried his head in the pillow, he felt that there was something strange about his heart and his feelings. All the way home from the mall to his house his heart skipped like a man who ran out ten laps on a football field. Therefore, he invited Artyo to go home immediately and not continue their mission today.
Artyo just followed Holy's orders. He was actually confused as to why suddenly Holy's face had changed since from the salon. They also had no time to discuss what they got from the salon. Artyo was just afraid of anything happening with Holy. Therefore they immediately went home and on the way he did not stop glancing at Holy and occasionally asked what happened. But Holy just held her chest and said "it's okay". He had never seen such a Holy before.
Artyo escorted Holy to the front of the house and Holy immediately went down then ran small towards his room.

Holy's mind still overshadowed Artyo's face with his new hairstyle, even though he had tried to deny it with funny videos from his twitter homepage.
When his heart was beating as usual, he convinced himself that the feeling was just a feeling that usually occurs when he was called a teacher BK when eating in the cafeteria during class hours or the feeling when he saw the pocket money that was only 5,000 when he wanted to pay batagor costs 10,000. Just a feeling of shock that could not be controlled.
"Tomorrow must have been my usual feeling when I saw Artyo," Holy said reassuringly. He opens his whatsapp and sends a message to Artyo that tomorrow they must continue their mission. Without expecting the double tick to turn blue, Holy is convinced that Artyo will come to pick her up tomorrow.

The exact time of day at 9 am Artyo came by riding his motorcycle. She was afraid that Holy yesterday had become unwell because it was the first time Artyo had brought Holy in his car after he had obtained sim A.
"Son Tyo here sit down first" exclaimed Holy Mother who was cleaning the table in her stall.
"Yes aunty, Holy again what tan?" artyo asked kindly while taking a position to sit down.
"She had been helping with the ingredients in the stall, but now it seems like she's done taking a shower." Holy Mother suddenly fell silent. "Son Tyo yesterday nothing happened right? You see since he came home yesterday he was mostly in the room, just a time to help him daydream more."
"There's nothing to auntie about, maybe Holy got a cold in the mall," replied Artyo hesitantly and chuckled.
"Hahaha the aunt's son is a bit of a village, shocked to meet the mall," replied Holy Mother jokingly. They both laughed and went back to talking.
Not long after that, Holy appeared.
"Then talk to me?" he said cheerfully while covering up his ungodly feelings when he saw Artyo who was waiting for him.
Mother and Artyo were silent to see the appearance of Holy, her father who was serving customers also took a look at his son who had just come out. With a knee-length dress model shirt made of maroon red shirt material combined with a jeans jacket. As well as red lipstick that is bold enough to create a very striking impression, making Holy look 5 years older than his age.
"Artyo let's go now," said Holy without regard to the gazes of everyone who saw him.
"A.a..yo Ly," replied Artyo with a little stammering.
After saying goodbye they also ride a motorcycle and start the journey to the tourist attractions in their city.
In his heart, Holy felt a little disappointed when he saw that Artyo was carrying a motorcycle instead of the car that was yesterday. But Holy still try to be ordinary because usually they also if you go both always ride the bike. It's just that he has to be more careful with the outfit he wears today.

"Hmm after I thought that if I went to work with a high school diploma I just got a makeshift job. Well if I make a business, I still have no capital and not yet clear what business to make." Holy took a deep breath for a moment. "My parents were very supportive of me going to college. Maybe now I just need to determine what majors and to get money I can fill my free time with sales. Selling chicken for example."
"Yeah... Haha"
They laugh together too. The originally cold atmosphere became warm again.

Take them to the places they are going. A place that holds a lot of history about their city. The city was once a kingdom with several kings who once ruled. Until now the place is still often used for the activities of the descendants of the king.
To enter the place does not require a lot of rupiah, so every day there are always local tourists and even foreign tourists who come. They come with different goals, some come to learn about history and some just want to take pictures and upload them on their social media.
Holy and Artyo started to wander around in that place, Holy more attention to foreign tourists who are listening to the explanation of the guide they may have rented specifically to accompany and translate to their native language. While Artyo is more amazed by the items displayed and which are deliberately exhibited as evidence of relics in the past.
"Tyo, I think people who can tell in front of people very smoothly and like it's out of their heads, it's cool..." holy Exclamation that makes Artyo reflexively see what Holy sees.
"Yes of course, but all that they get by not instant. Surely they often practice and maybe at the beginning they never forget, so from forgetting that makes them try to always remember" replied Artyo.
"I want to be like that!" exclaim Holy. "I will certainly be noticed often, what I say will be information to those who listen, and I want what I say to be useful."
"Do you want to be like those mothers who are explaining in front of those foreign tourists?" ask Artyo
"Yes, and that means I have to learn English hmmm..."
Holy looked at Artyo who was about seven inches taller with a doubtful look. He was hesitant because his English was so bad. Artyo also returned the gaze of the woman beside him gently.
Artyo excited Holy with his gaze and said "All that you can learn, Ly. You can learn from anywhere because now there are many applications that can help you learn English and other foreign languages." Artyo explained long enough without taking his eyes off Holy.
Holy smiled and tried to stare in the other direction.
***
His eyes were different, no longer like they used to be.
It used to be common. I could stare at him for a long time without the slightest vibration. But why did that look now make me enter into a different world?
