Chapter 12
Nia wakes up when the clock shows at 7 am. It was a bit late to wake up but it was still early. As soon as he woke up, he did not get up from the bed as usual, but sat on the edge of the bed like daydreaming about something.
Right, he again thought about the task Aunt Siska had given him, changing Ardian! How to change the young man to have the nature, attitude, character and emotions that everyone in this house wants?
He is not a psychologist, motivator, magician, let alone a mentalist who is able to hypnotize his patients to read their minds. She was just an ordinary girl from a simple house. It's just an additional note, he was indeed the childhood best friend of the person he had to change.
To change someone who is not simple like Ardian, can not be by advising, advising, ordering, or prohibition. Ardian is a complicated and sensitive person, his mind is not easy, it is not as easy to change it as changing the behavior of obedient children.
To change it, Nia must first be able to enter into his heart, become an important person for him, until Ardian wants to see himself more closely. Then, usually people will imitate the actions and nature of the person he or she likes.
So, if for example Ardian likes it, it could be that he will identify himself so that it can be the same as Nia in the sense of imitating his non-physical.
Right! That's the right way, Nia thought. He will show affection, care, care, patience, gentleness, kindness, and all that is positive before the young man. He would deal with it all that way so that Ardian could see it, feel it, think about it, realize it was a better attitude like this, then imitate it later.
Nia nodded to herself, agreeing with that line of thought. With one determination and spirit, he walked out of the room towards Ardian's room.
The door to Ardian's room is still locked from the inside. Nia didn't know the young man was up for dinner last night or because he was asleep in his own room.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk,” three times knocked on the door of that room.
There is no lawfulness.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk,” tapped again three times.
Waiting for a moment, there is still no confirmation.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk,” this time a bit hard Nia knocked on that door. Knock and knock again until repeated six seven times.
Bussyet! Ardian is sleeping really fast, lest have to digedor-gedor the door can just wake up. Or maybe he got up early this morning and left the house? Ah, there's no way. If you see from his nature that likes to wake up bad luck, it seems impossible.
Nia raised her hand again, about to knock for the umpteenth time. This time, not even his intention had been carried out, the door had already been opened from within. Seraut face drowsiness with eyes still meram melek looking at Nia while frowning.
“Iya! Aye! What's the matter from earlier disturbin continue?” asked Ardian with a sour face.
“What's up? Yes wake you up! It's 7 in the morning, you know. Time to get up, shower, breakfast, then work.”
Ardian looked at Nia not understanding. Why did this girl wake him up so early? Though he knew Ardian most do not like to be disturbed at bedtime. After all, if the reason is just that, getting up a bit during the day is okay. Because he does not feel there is an important job to do as a student who is enjoying a vacation. He himself does not need to help his mother take care of work in the office, so why wake up early?
“Come, go shower Ardi, then breakfast below. Last night you didn't wake up for dinner?” ask Nia. “Surely now your stomach is hungry. After all, it is not good to miss one meal, it can be affected by ulcer disease later,” said Nia like a doctor.
Ardian glared, turned to his bed, then dropped his body back on the bed.
“Lho, why sleep again?” Nia walked in. Just this time he saw Ardian's room. Ardian's room was twice as big as Nia's, and there was a bathroom inside her bedroom.
He circulated his gaze around the room, as if to record it in memory and judge it. From the order of someone's room, won't we be able to read the character of the person?
“Come, wake up!” Nia walked to the side of Ardian's bed, trying to get rid of the large pillow that covered the young man's face. “Come, wake, Ardi! Time to shower, breakfast, work.”.
Ardian held Nia's hand on his pillow, shaking his head like a child who still refused to wake up from a deep sleep.
“Come, wake...!” nia's orders. His voice this time sounded quite loud and fierce like a mother who was waking her child. “Build, dong! Wake up! Wake up!”
As a result, there was a scene of a pillow attraction between Nia and Ardian. One is interesting, the other is defending.
Feeling that Ardian would not budge, Nia began to get upset and sat down beside the bed, expending all her strength in order to win against Ardian's defense.
“Uh! Uh!” the pillow was as strong as possible. And. ups! Suddenly Ardian took off his hand and the pillow was knocked out of his face. However, due to Nia's power being expended as strongly as earlier, making the pillow flung far behind Nia, and fell near the entrance.
Nia gaped. Not because the pillow was thrown strongly behind him, but because Ardian's hands suddenly pulled both arms until his body almost fell on Ardian's chest. Nia's face was facing Ardian's face. Their distance was so close, only about 10 centimeters without a bulkhead. Their eyes clashed with each other, long, deep, and full of meaning.
Nia did not know what to do, Ardian's eyes looked at him sharply, while both eyes Nia could only twirl looking at the face in front of him.
He noticed that the face was more handsome when viewed up close like this. Ardian's eyes, nose, mouth, lips, and face shape were almost flawless. It is fitting that he was given the title of macho man and the longing of beautiful women.
One minute more they are in that position. Nia did not know what to do, Ardian's two hands held tightly to his two arms until his movements locked. Ardian's breath swept across the surface of Nia's face, as well as Nia's bated breath sweeping across Ardian's face.
Suddenly, Ardian took off his hand that was holding Nia's leg. The use of the detached hand to hold the back of Nia's back and turn her body until now Nia's body fell flat on the edge of the bed. Ardian refuted his own body with his elbows so that his face was now above Nia's face. Without a chance to rebel, Ardian steals Nia's first kiss.
Feeling that Ardian was profiting from it, Nia tried her hardest to push Ardian's body away from him. Ardian did not expect Nia's power would be that strong, stronger than when pulling the big pillow earlier until it was thrown backwards.
After Ardian's body was successfully pushed, Nia got up from the bed and spontaneously slapped Ardian's face. “Badness!” said.
Ardian was only surprised to be briefly slapped like that, after which he looked at Nia with a victorious gaze. “No pain,” he said with a triumphant smile.
Embarrassed, Nia turned around and walked out of the room.
After the girl died, Ardian held her cheek that had been slapped by Nia. He played his tongue inside his mouth to feel the pain of the slap. The pain is sweet to Ardian. He was willing to slap the girl for stealing her first kiss. She was willing to make Nia the first person in this world to ever slap her.
Nia came out of the room with a chest of emotions. Just this time he was so angry that he could slap someone. Before, never hurt or hit anyone else, hit a lizard he never did.
Nia went into her own room, walked over to the dressing table, picked up the tissue paper and wiped off the traces of Ardian's kiss on her lips. Deleted and erased again many times but the marks do not want to disappear when there is no trace of anything there except maybe a little pain left because Ardian smelled his lips strong enough earlier.
Unable to hold back her emotions, Nia's tears flowed down her cheeks. He walked to the edge of the bed, sitting there sobbing. Chest shaking. Why would she cry like this? Just a kiss on the lips, why is he so angry? Did he hate Ardian so much that he wouldn't let his first kiss be taken by the young man? If he likes it, he will be happy.
Actually, it's not about likes or dislikes, nor is it because Nia hates Ardian to the point of not being willing to kiss him. But because Nia felt her pride as if stepped on when the young man was rude to her. Kissing suddenly was like stealing, it forced his name.
Ah, I cannot cry, Nia thought after wiping her eyes with tissue paper. Not yet started the task given by Aunt Siska. If you cry at the beginning it gives up its name. The task may be neglected, never implemented, or failed. When that happens, it will definitely disappoint his mother's expectations in the hometown. Isn't the main purpose here is to study in college so that one can get a good job with a high salary to be able to raise his family's economic degree?
Thinking so, Nia quickly got up from her seat and walked out of the room. He approached Ardian's room, which seemed to be closed. Ardian must still be inside, he thought.
