From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapter 36. After Engagement

"okay. Let's see it later. What are you going to do to separate us? I'll make sure, it'll be worth it." I took one step closer to Nadia. "and you should remember Nadia, I'm not at all afraid of your threats!"

Nadia raised her index finger right in front of my face. "you-"

"what's this?"

Keanu came and cut Nadia's sentence. Then she wrapped her hands around my waist after she gave me a drink.

"Mas Keanu's.."

"sorry Mother teacher, if you're just making a fuss here, you better get going."

"as.. But Mas, I'm not making a fuss here, I'm just-"

"i'm very disappointed and sorry to have sent Keisya to your school. You are a teacher, but your behavior is not at all reflective of a teacher."

Nadia. "Sorry, but I'm-"

Again Keanu cut off the unfinished sentence Nadia said. "don't apologize to me, apologize to Clara, you have absolutely no right to behave like that to her." Keanu turned to look at me, then moved his hand that had been on my waist, now climbed to embrace my shoulder.

"my mother, I'm sorry Clara." Nadia rushed off without waiting for my answer. Am I forgiving him or not?

Keanu smiled and looked at me. "don't listen to him.."

"but I'm afraid.. I'm afraid he's desperate to do anything to keep us apart.."

"you don't worry, I promised you, I'll always take care of you and our relationship." Keanu patted me on the shoulder. "nothing will happen.. hm?"

I nodded. "alright.."

"Clar!"

I looked straight at the voice that called out to me. "Ririn?"

Ririn immediately hugged me. "sorry yes Clar, I'm late. There was a very important meeting."

"it's okay, no problem. The important thing you come to my important show." We let go of the embrace.

"Congratulations Clar.. Mr. Keanu.." Ririn extended her hand to us.

"oh, so this is the friend you used to tell me about?"

I nodded. "iya Mas.. He works in your Papa's office."

"oh yeah?"

"ih Mr Keanu have the heart! We've met at the office a few times."

"sorry, I'm not too careful."

"it's okay, the important thing is now that I have my best friend, don't let Mr. Keanu hurt him."

"without you reminding me, I would definitely do that."

Guests are still busy with food and entertainment events held quite lively. Many important guests came, as business partners Keanu, Om Arman, and also my Papa.

I also received congratulations from Sandra, the secretary that I had jealous of. He came with a pretty handsome guy. Maybe it was his girlfriend.

It was 23:00 and the show was over. I feel so tired. So it is not possible to go home, and choose to sleep in a hotel. I roomed with Keisya and Dinda, because they wanted to sleep with me.

"huaaammmm.." I yawned and wriggled my body after returning from the bathroom to clean myself up.

Keisya and Dinda were already sleeping soundly. Maybe they feel tired too.

I pulled out the blanket and laid my body down.

Tok tok tok tok

I paused my intention, and walked towards the door.

Who's bothering these nights? Hauhh. I was so sleepy.

A scream was heard as I opened the door.

"Mas Keanu?"

"you haven't slept?"

"almost! But since someone knocked on the door, it's not so."

"sorry, I'm bothering you."

"what's wrong?"

"it's okay, I just want to say good-bye."

Haish

"ck. kirain fuck."

Keanu chuckled, "yes, sleep over there!" he's messing up my hair.

"that's doang?"

"continue? How do you want it?"

"yes, what about the cake! Saying good night is not romantic."

Keanu laughed softly. "i can't be romantic, I haven't dated before, so I'm not good at words."

"yes, it is." I was about to close the door, but Keanu held it back. He moved his feet closer to me. And now the distance between us is just a little.

Huhh..my heart..!

Cup

He kissed my forehead.

Wow. This surprised me!

"good night, good dreams."

I was still staring at him until he was no longer seen in front of me.

"Sir Clara what else?"

I only realized when Dinda asked and patted me on the shoulder.

"you know." I turned around after closing the door. "no more doing anything, just lock the door. Are you awake again?"

"yes, I'm gonna pee." Dinda ran towards the bathroom.

Ow hell! Did Dinda see me with Keanu?

But after coming out of the bathroom Dinda went straight to sleep again and did not discuss the previous one.

Maybe Dinda didn't see it..

***

My eyes blinked, and I looked straight at the clock.

Oh. It's 5 in the morning.

I immediately took a bath and ablution, after which the dawn prayer and opened Dinda.

"Din, wake! It's dawn..!"

"no ah, later. Still sleepy!" dinda replied with a raucous voice and still closed eyes.

"do you want to pray?"

"no. I'm M.."

"oh. yeah."

I went out to look for fresh air. And at that time I saw Keanu also come out of his room with training, long-handed t-shirts, and also a towel that was hanging around his neck.

"where are you going, man?"

"Eh, Clar.. Are you awake? I'm going for a jog. "

"oh... Where's the jogging?"

"the most around the hotel park." Keanu squatted to fix his loose shoelaces. Then he lifted his head to look at me. "do you want to come?"

"hm? Not ah.. I don't have shoes and sports clothes."

"where do you want to go?"

"just want to get some air."

"well, sit in the park. Wanna?"

I nodded. "can."

We rushed downstairs in an elevator. And go straight to the park.

I took a deep breath and exhaled. Then stretch my muscles. Keanu was running around the park.

Ah.. The air is very fresh. Even though the sun has not yet revealed its light.

I sat on the wooden chair in the garden while watching Keanu.

I still don't think we're engaged now.

40 Minutes passed. Keanu came up to me and sat next to me while rubbing his sweat-filled face, and his breathing was still dull.

"do you run every day?"

Keanu nodded. "i've been unable to manage my time for sports especially since I worked in the office. So I always go for a jog every morning. However, we must maintain health with exercise, right?"

"hemm.." I nodded.

"we're in yuk! Maybe someone else is waiting for breakfast. After that we will immediately checkout."

"luck!" I immediately stood up and was about to enter the hotel.

"Clara.. Why such a rush?"

I stopped my steps and turned around, "he said the others were waiting.."

Keanu quickened his pace towards me. "yes, but wait for me dong. Don't you want to believe this?"

He hooked his finger on my hand. It seems to be his new hobby.

Haish

But I always felt safe and comfortable when he did that. More precisely, when I was with her, I was always happy..

And that happiness can be felt even with little things like this.

It's delightful!
