When Potatoes Fall in Love

16

“Pfftt. Hahahahaha.” Dira laughed to the point of rolling around on the floor after hearing Nadin's reply.

Meanwhile, Nadin immediately distanced himself from Aidan after he re-digested what he had said. He several times patted his lips which sometimes always slipped when talking. Currently he chose to stand facing the wall while covering his face which was hot from embarrassment. Another case with Aidan who tried not to smile widely and still behave cool even though he was also feeling happy and big head after being said sexy by Nadin.

He looked funny, the inner Aidan smiled as he looked at the powerless Nadin showing his face.

“Tante called you,” Aidan said after Dira stopped the music video.

“Nadin, you are not ashamed. I know you accidentally said it,” message Dira before going out to see her mother.

Nadin just nodded his head without looking at Dira. He turned his back on thinking Aidan had gone with his cousin. In fact, he was still standing in his original position. Currently, Aidan was leaning beside the door of Dira's room which was light blue. Uncomfortable with Aidan inside, Nadin finally stepped out of the room. He also remained down not daring to return the gaze of Aidan who looks like a wolf who is ready to pounce on his prey. As soon as he reached the mouth of the door, Aidan swiftly pulled Nadin's hand and made him lean against the wall he had occupied.

“What do you do ?!” tanya Nadin gave a dislike look to Aidan who also showed an annoyed face to him.

“I just want to hold you back from avoiding me again,” Aidan said. He immediately blocked Nadin with both hands attached to the wall when he saw the motion of Nadin's movements that would run away again.

“Why do you always avoid me ?” tanya Aidan looked down at Nadin.

Gosh, why the lump on his neck moved on, the inner Nadin who was forced to look at Jakun Aidan because he did not dare to look at his face. As a result, his heart was racing when he saw that scene. Actually, that's why Nadin admitted that Aidan looked sexy when he was asked.

“Why are you silent?”

“You're too close. Back off first.” Nadin pushed Aidan's body hard. But, Aidan did not want to step aside and still stood in front of him.

“You answered my question first,” pinta Aidan who still kept his head down to see Nadin who had not yet returned his gaze.

“I can't tell you why I avoided you. After all, we're both nobody. So, it doesn't matter if I avoid,” explained Nadin.

Aidan's heart immediately heated up and felt pain after hearing Nadin's words. Right now he was really angry and disappointed.

“You said we're nobody ?! Let's see I'm fine.”

I can't see your face Bambang ! My legs have been limp standing this close to you, inner Nadin did not also look towards Aidan.

“NADIN,” call Aidan forced to hold Nadin's chin.

Nadin finally looked up at Aidan's face. His heart was like it was going out of place because it was beating too fast. His legs felt increasingly weakened, because now they were both facing each other in a very close distance.

“Do you not know me at all ?” ask Aidan again.

“I know, you are Aidan Rederick,” replied Nadin.

“Iya, then what can you remember after seeing me ?”

“What do you mean ?” Nadin removed Aidan's hand from his chin.

Aidan immediately turned his gaze while biting his own lips to contain his frustration. He smiled cynically at Nadin who still showed a confused face.

“You're a really senile sloppy girl, yes,” ketus Aidan.

“Hahs. What am I wrong ? Why are you talking like that to me ?” Nadin felt he wanted to criticize because Aidan thought he was careless and senile.

Aidan immediately retreated from before Nadin when he saw a puddle in the girl's eyes. Meanwhile, Nadin immediately lowered his head so that Aidan did not see his sad face. He passed by Aidan who was standing by as he watched him grab a bag and get out of Dira's room.

I just wanted to punish him by letting him find out for himself who I am. Even so, I have helped him to remember. But, why was he insensitive to my actions and words earlier ? Is he that stupid ? Hurrghhh ! Shit, I became emotional and made her sad, did she cry ? batin Aidan sat on the sofa in Dira's room while rubbing his face violently.

The morning air in the summer stung Nadin's skin to make him shiver while pedaling a bicycle. Because his heart continues to beat fast is not because every time he met Aidan made him have to leave school at six in the morning so as not to meet the child. He's been doing this for a month. Therefore, Aidan asked why he kept avoiding her.

I avoided it because I was tired of the ungodly feeling that kept coming at me every time I was with him. But, why do I keep thinking about it more and more and want to keep seeing it ?I why siih ? nadin's mind is now leaning in front of the school gate that is still quiet and unopened.

Do I like it ? nadin asked in his heart when he recalled Dira's explanation of the characteristics of someone who began to like the opposite sex. He slumped sitting in front of the school gate hugging his knees which were cold from the morning air.

Bremmmm bremmm

Nadin immediately got up from his seat when the motorcycle of Mr. Kodri who is a security guard at his school was stopped in front of him.

“The air is getting colder yes, Neng,” said Mr. Kodri while opening the gate.

“Yes, sir,” said Nadin then entered the school after the gate opened.

Drowsiness mercilessly attacked Nadin who is currently working on biological tasks. The teacher who was supposed to be teaching at the last hour was sick. So, he only advised the picket teacher so that his class answered the training question at LKS (Student Work Sheet). Classes can only be done in the classroom or in the library. Nadin who is now only himself chose to work on assignments in the library because Dira is also not attending school because his teeth hurt again.

Nadin wrote while propping up his chin in anticipation of his head about to hit the table as he unconsciously fell asleep. Apparently, his efforts were in vain because a while after that his head was really hit hard. The guards and students who were there were surprised and turned towards him. Meanwhile, he grimaced in pain as his acne again collided with the surface of the table.

“You're okay ?” ask Aidan who was in the library at the time to do group work. His handsome face showed a worried face to Nadin.

“You think ?” Nadin glared in annoyance at Aidan while raising the tip of his right lip. Despite showing an annoyed face, he was so stubborn to see that the most popular student was suddenly on his right.

Is he still mad at me ? batin Aidan did not reply to Nadin's words.

Nadin breezed away to the bathroom when one of the library guards advised him to wash his face so that he would not be sleepy again.

“It's been two days since he thought I was reckless and senile. Does he have no guilt until he doesn't want to apologize?” nadin grumbled while wiping his face with his palm after washing his face.

Once inside the library, Nadin again sat next to Aidan who was discussing with his friend. He tried to stay focused on working on some unanswered questions so that his eyes would not be tempted to look in the direction where Aidan was. However, his focus was split when he heard the whispers of his classmates talking about Aidan sitting in front of them. Nadin saw clearly that they were interested in the prince of the school. Suddenly he smiled happily because he felt a little victorious from the girls.

They admire him a lot. But, have they ever interacted with Aidan, like I ever did? Aidan had even lent me his hoodie, Nadin said in his heart.

Not long after, Nadin's smile faded after being swallowed by his inferiority when he saw the difference in skin color with Aidan's skin. He was unaware of his hand which he had placed on the table next to Aidan's hand which was also on the table.

Her skin was white as milk. Meanwhile, my skin is brown like rotten sapodilla, inner Nadin then moved to another place.

Why did he leave ? muttered Aidan who saw Nadin's departure towards an empty table.

The Giandra Naraya Residence

*Srrrr**rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr***

“It seems, my beloved husband asked to be hacked”, said Lika when he heard the sound of water from the bathroom as soon as he entered the room. She could guess that her husband was taking a bath. His hand grabbed the phone lying on the table and sat on the bed.

Tap tap tap

Giandra came out of the bathroom with a towel that still covered his waist up to his knees. Her steps came to a halt when her pair of eyes were fixed on the red nightgown worn by Lika. With a mischievous smile, he walked up to his wife as his male instinct was lured by the cleavage seen from the evening gown of her son's mother.

“Wear first,” cetus Lika without turning to Giandra and continue to focus on his phone.

Giandra also spontaneously turned around as soon as he got the order. He turned several times towards Lika who seemed to ignore him.

My wife why the hell ? Nearby should not be, inner Giandra while buttoning his red pajamas.

“Iaaang, see what the hell is ?” jiandra asked, now sitting next to Lika peeking at what his wife was seeing.

“See hp lah,” ketus Lika.

Giandra let out a long sigh while taking Lika's phone gently. He then grabbed both of his wife's shoulders until they were both seated opposite each other.

“Why you ? From earlier pout continues.” Giandra stared into Lika's eyes, hoping he could figure out the cause of his wife's expression like that.

“I'm upset because I don't want to listen to me. I just recovered from the flu, why now even take a shower night-night ?” grumbled Lika with her furrowed brows.

Cute, the inner Giandra who even smiled when being scolded. He intended to give a kiss on Lika's lips. However, Lika immediately placed her palm on Giandra's lips that were already close to her face.

“Ok, okay. I'm sorry. But, I took a shower because I felt sultry,” said Giandra.

“Sa-honey, where are you going?” gindra asked as Lika got off the bed and headed for the closet.

“Darling, are you going to take a blanket for me to use sleeping in the workspace again ?” Giandra was riled to see his wife open the closet and look for something there.

Lika finally found the little towel she was looking for. With casual steps, he returned to the bed and faced Giandra while resting on both knees. She began to dry her husband's wet hair after the shampooing. Giandra smiled and hugged Lika's waist. His face he buried on the sidelines of two tender meat belonging to his wife.

After being satisfied to inhale the fragrance of Lika's body, Giandra looked up at Lika with a sweet smile. Lika who was stared at like that was unable to hold back her smile. She placed her hands on her husband's shoulders and kissed him on the forehead.

“Other times, don't take a night shower. I don't want to be sick anymore,” said Lika then again dry Giandra's hair.

“Iya. But, actually I got the flu because that Sunday I was in the rain while chasing a girl who looks a lot like you,”, Giandra said.

“Like me ?” ask Lika surprised. She then sat down to face her husband.

“Iya. I know you don't look like your other family except your mother. But, the girl I saw was very similar to you. Is there a family you don't introduce me to?”

“No, I know all my family. Is it just a coincidence?”

“I think so too. But, I feel like I have a close feeling with that child. That's why I chased him. Honestly, I think she is our daughter,”, Giandra smiled.

Lika instantly lowered her face. She was so sad to see her husband who considered a foreign girl as his son.

“Why ?” Giandra raised his wife's chin until they met a glance.

“Sorry because I can't give birth to your baby anymore, mas,” said Lika. Her tears trickled down to represent her sad feelings that sometimes always appeared.

“If only, I could give birth to our child safely. I can definitely live up to the expectations of someone who wants to have a daughter. I-”

Giandra immediately grabbed Lika's lips before his wife blamed herself even more. His burly hands embraced Lika's body. Meanwhile, his lips still give a soft touch to the lips of his life partner.

“Why do your sweet lips always say to blame yourself ? You don't have to regret what happened. After all, maybe it's the best for our child,” said Giandra hugging Lika while stroking her head gently.

“I'm sorry,” lirih Lika drowned in her husband's warm embrace.

“Yes, didn't I tell you that I never blamed you. I also apologize for making you sad,” said Giandra.

“But, how does the girl look ?” ask Lika.

“His face is very similar to yours. She looks tall and her hair is very long.” Giandra.
