When Love Teases

41. When Love Teases

Stared constantly by a pair of eyes with a black bead whose highlight flashed, yet radiated warmly. Effect on the work of a faster beating heart and blood rippling. Puput is not his name if he cannot control the awkward atmosphere of being a santuy.

"Congratulations! You're the second person to sneak up on my new look after Zaky." The pupil folds both hands on the chest, turning the face to the left with the nose bent. He is actually in the middle of an alibi, calming the heart rhythm to return to a normal beat.

Rama chuckles. With both hands that grigetan want to turn the face of the ayu again facing him. The charm of the Frog is increasingly poisoning the heart and mind. Like a magnet capable of sucking up all attention just to think of him as one. Love has driven him crazy. Luckily there are still sane people who control logic. So that his attitude is still awake put forward ethics.

"Who is being sucked. I want to make sure. This is Princess Kirana or the angel from heaven?! It's so beautiful to wear." Rama said solemnly without a second to take his eyes off. Honest praise is not a joke.

"Ehem. The other side of the boss jago gombal sir turns out." Puput thumping lips. Staring again at the handsome face that turned out to have long eyelashes with both firm black eyebrows.

Rama shook his head. "I've never been a girl. Could not. It's a sincere compliment." Highlight the earnestness radiated. For a moment the gazes clashed against each other and locked in silence.

"Ah forgot, sorry born and inner yes, sister. Sorry, as long as we know, my family and I often bother Rama." Puput cut off first the gaze that was adrift ten seconds long. Which makes him clumsy. Advance both hands to shake hands with a slight bending of the back.

"Either. Sorry to be born and inner too. There is no word ngerepotin at all. Just be usual." Rama welcomes Palaman Puput with a face that does not fade from the start to pick up until standing face to face at this time in the doorway. "And one more thing. Please, don't keep talking formal. Like a friend. Me - You!" he continued while pointing at his own chest and towards the Frog.

"okay, Sis. We're on the road now, right? I lock the door first."

Rama nodded with a pleased look. The now melting pup is no longer awkward.

The road on Hari Lebaran is very quiet. Much different than the usual days. Private vehicles are lined up on the side of the road with predominantly vehicles owned by travelers. The doors of the houses were open. Of course, welcome guests who come to visit.

The atmosphere in the car was silent without conversation. Each one dissolves with a different mind. Puput stared straight at the street in front of him. Choosing silence because confused should start what topic of conversation.

Rama just stole a look. He had almost forgotten to continue the trick as soon as he stared at the new appearance of Puput which made him hypnotized. It almost shows attention reflecting real feelings. For that, this time he started the cool action again.

"Why not get caught?!" Rama looked at it. Puput's phone just rang but was only stared at by its owner.

"I'll call you back later." Puput save his phone again into a sling bag yamg placed in the lap.

"From a girlfriend?!" Afraid I'll sniff it out." Rama looked straight at the street. Don't want to look. Feeling worried about the answer he will hear.

"No. High School friends who are still asking me to join the reunion on the 3rd Shawwal. I can't have her schedule clashing with the SD reunion. First sign up for the SD reunion."

"Owh--"

...***...

Aul with hasty steps out of the house. The worried face turned relieved to see that the NMax motor owned by Puput still parked in the side yard. Replacing the confused mimic looking for the existence of the motor key. There was nothing in his bag. Chances of forgetting to unplug, still hanging on the motor. In fact once approached, the key in question does not exist either.

Which motor key....

Aul fidgets himself while biting his lips. Already looking around some parked motorcycles. Stay nil.

"Search what?!" A young man came closer. Wearing a sky blue pastel color kurta. He is definitely a member of the Enin family.

"Find the key to this bike." Aul pointed at the red N-Max. "I don't know what or. There is nothing in the bag." He does not want people to know if he has an ugly nature that is careless and forgetful. Continued pensively trying to remember the flashback from the beginning came to the house Enin which now gradually the guests began to decrease.

"This isn't it?!" the young man raised his hand holding the key to the motorcycle with a brown leather purse hanger.

"Where's my sister....?" asked Aul curious mixed confused what name to say.

"I saw a key hanging from the bike. I'm afraid someone's gonna steal that's why I'm safe."

"I'm Panji. Cia's cousin." The young man named Panji continued to lend a hand inviting acquaintances.

"Auliah. Just look at Aul. I'm Teh Puput's sister." said Aul as he shook the greeting introduction. "That's Auntie Ratih's son huh?! he wants to convince.

Panji. "Yes right. By the way, it feels like I just saw."

"Emang has not known Enin's family for long. Ask Kak Cia if you are curious." Aul closed the conversation by thanking him again and saying goodbye first go inside.

The pennant wears a thin smile. With both hands put in his pants pocket, staring at Aul's back until it disappeared beyond sight.

...***...

The arrival of Puput who walked side by side with Rama, became the center of attention of family members. Cia sneered towards Rama who was smiling all the while. Compared upside down when it looks upset and restless. Enin, who first got the sungkeman from Puput, gave cipika cipiki while praising her increasingly beautiful appearance with hijab.

"Masyaa Allah this is Kuput tea?! meni geulis pisan. (very pretty)" Ratna hugged Puput happily when she got the second turn.

"I'm sorry to be born and to be inner, ma'am." said Puput with reverence to his mother Rama.

The same thing Puput did to his father Rama as well as Aunt Ratih and three other people who gathered in the living room. No guests arrived this afternoon. Only the Puput family was sitting relaxed on the carpet title accompanied by Cia and Panji. Various cakes and fruits served as treats. Puput and Rama joined in.

The chatter of the adults began to make Ami bored. He whispered to Teh Aul asking to be sent to Dana's uncle's house to play with cousins who were his age.

"Will come back here again, right?! Panji makes a sound as soon as he hears Aul saying goodbye will deliver Ami. What Aul answered with a nod.

"Let's get anterin in the car. Let's not get hot." Tawar Panji who saw the weather before Ashar is still hot.

"No need, brother. Wanna use a motor." Push Aul down gently.

"I want to be driven by car ah. Let my pretty face not get hot and dust." Ami agreed with a high degree of confidence. Making Cia laugh off with the smallness of Ami who fanned the face with his hands.

"Yes, Aul. Send the same Panji will return here again." Cia supports Panji desire that has smelled mode odor.

Aul relented according to. Together with Ami, follow Panji step outside the house to the CRV car parked outside the gate.

Mami Ratna invites Ibu Sekar to move to sit on the back porch. There are things that people want to talk about and not hear.

"Bu Sekar, I have the same goal." Mami Ratna seemed enthusiastic and impatient to make her point. I want to ask Puput to be my daughter-in-law. Can you please, Mom?!"

Sekar's mother frowned at the demanding question.

"Rama really likes Puput. But he has not dared to say the same to Bu Sekar let alone the same person." Ratna went on to explain seeing Sekar's mother who was still silent. He spoke in fact on his own initiative. There is no confirmation of Rama. Because if you do not rush to be asked, worry first others propose Puput.
