Chapter 14
"Bad!” ardian said half-screaming. “So he thinks I'm the driver? Again eating disturbed, told to take a walk! You matre chick, don't know yourself! Huh!”
Want to not want the mouth of Nia who was as agape docked, singed a smile. Amusedly.
“Do you smile, Nia?” sentak Ardian saw the girl grinning.
“Hah? Is that smile forbidden in this house?” reply Nia spontaneous.
“Funny, yes?” gertak Ardian's.
“Iya, indeed funny!” nia replied that she would not lose.
“What's funny?”
“You!”
“Kok me funny? The insolent! It's not that the selfless chick is the funny one, huh?”
“Yes you're the funny one. Angry immediately so invited out for a walk. If you don't want to, say nice and polite to the person, dong! No need to be angry to the point. Ckckck. Sadist!”
“Woiii…! You base girl, surely you defend your people!” geram Ardian's.
“After all, why don't you save the phone number? Didn't he say he was introduced by your good friend named Andika?”
Ardian. “Not important, so no need to save,” replied Ardian.
“Oh..,” reaction Nia.
“Me company, yes?” ardian.
“Company? Meaning?” ask Nia.
“Company walk again kayak overnight. We're going to the mall, shopping, watching, eating, hanging out at the cafe.”
“Oh... Just repeat what Sinta said earlier, yes?” nia Laughter.
"Indeed he said earlier.”
“I'm serious,” Ardian stared fixedly at Nia.
“I two rius,” reply Nia laughs off.
“Have finished breakfast? Let's go!” take Ardian with you while you get up.
“Apaan? Gone off? Where to?”
“To the places I mentioned earlier. Time forgot? Pikun, here?”
Nia just realized that Ardian was serious about taking her out for a walk again. Haduh, it feels like the world wants to doomsday imagining having to accompany the young man raun-raun all day with his motorcycle. But, it seems this time did not raun-raun around the city, because it has a destination and the intention of traveling.
“You didn't? Come, hurry!” ardian exclaimed rather loudly, like impatiently.
“You to the mall with clothes like this?” reason Nia while looking at the clothes she was wearing. Just a t-shirt with ponggol jeans.
Ardian saw Nia's clothes at a glance. “Nothing's wrong with your clothes. Already, we're leaving now. No need to change clothes, no need to preen, you are beautiful like this, what it is,” praise Ardian for free to talk.
Oops! Nia felt her heart beating fast. What did Ardian say? She's already beautiful in this kind of outfit without the need to preen? Well, what dream last night, Ardian can praise him so, make his feelings happy instantly, floating like in the clouds.
“Had, long thought,” said Ardian impatiently when he saw Nia even daydreaming. He himself wondered why he could bring out an honest spontaneous praise from his heart.
Before, Ardian never praised any pretty girl. When asked by her boyfriend, she just stared at the girl they introduced at a glance, then muttered, “Yes, passable.” That'sthat's all.
But this time, I don't know what impulse made him unable to hold back the words of praise that were thrown from his mouth. The word honestly came from inside his heart. Indeed, she felt that Nia was the most beautiful natural girl without the need for fancy makeup, let alone thick polish.
Ardian and Nia walked towards the exit. Arriving at the yard, Ardian approached the car garage, opened the car door with an automatic key in his hand and lowered his head.
Nia was still standing in front of the car, staring in a daze.
“Come, login, Nia!” ardian said as he tilted his head from the open car window.
Nia walked up to the car door next to Ardian's seat, opened it and went inside.
Carefully he sat in the front seat with Ardian getting ready to run his car.
“To wear seat belt,” says Ardian.
Nia pulled the seatbelt on the spot she was sitting on, linking it to the joint. Because it was a bit tight, Ardian helped Nia loosen up a bit and locked it.
After feeling fit, Ardian began to run his car out of the garage, circling the yard of the house before reaching the gate guarded by Wak Amat.
Wak Amat opened the gates for Ardian and Nia. Through the closed car window, Nia waved her hand while nodding at Wak Amat.
The car driven by Ardian drove across the street in the city of Medan which still looks crowded in the morning. Even if there is a quiet atmosphere, it is in certain streets that are wide and not jammed, usually it is on roads full of trees and more luxury housing or residential. While in the area of shops and offices, the highway is always full of various kinds of vehicles that are busy passing by.
Along the way, Ardian was more silent, yet many times he glanced at the girl beside him.
Nia was staring to the side through the glass window. Perhaps he remembered taking the train staring out the window, not ahead, Ardian thought.
“It turns out the car ride is more convenient, Ardi,” said Nia broke the silence. No need to be tired, let alone your bike is big and tall, the seat is tired.”
“It is, obviously the car ride is more convenient, but look at the car as well. If expensive car is comfortable inside,” said Ardian.
“He-eh. What mall are we going to?” tumben, Nia asked curiously.
“Centre Point,” replied Ardian.
"The plan is, I want to buy you a dress shirt. It seems you don't have a dress or no dress, huh?”
“Shirt dress?” ask Nia.
“Iya, the dress used for parties, you know. Two days later, a friend had a birthday, invited me to her birthday party. I mean, I'd like to take you as a companion. So you have to wear a beautiful and sexy dress, like the city girls.”
Nia gulped. So the story is, Ardian who wants to change the appearance of Nia, not vice versa, Nia who changed Ardian. Whoa, whoa.
“Do you accompany me to the party?” ask Ardian.
“Your friend's birthday, huh? Where's the party, anyway? There must be a lot of your friends present. I will not feel good later because I do not know any of your friends,” said Nia doubtful.
“Makanya, you be my companion, let me introduce you to them, Nia.”
“Why not bring another girl, Sinta for example?” ask Nia carefully.
“Already, it's been everything. Only you have never been,” replied Ardian casually.
Oh, geez! Means she's just the umpteenth girl that Ardian took everywhere? think Nia. So all this time, how many girls have been taken out of the streets to accompany Ardian? Three, five, seven, or ten?
Nia's heart trembled. Feeling angry, jealous, disappointed, or ashamed?
“Do you want Nia to accompany me to the party?” resetting soft Ardian. We buy a party dress first at the boutique in the mall, yes?” ardian.
Nia did not answer. He tried to organize his chaotic feelings by looking at the crowd beside the window. Their cars pass through shops and offices with tall buildings.
Seeing Nia who was then silent, Ardian said nothing more until the car he was driving reached the destination.
