Passed Together
#14

I woke up from my sleep. This morning I woke up faster than usual. I woke up about six and a half or six I forgot. I washed my face and rushed out of my room. I went straight to the kitchen, fetching water at the dinner table for me to drink. In the kitchen, I saw my mom and Nadin cooking something.

"good morning." I greet them.

"morning."my mother answered.

"Mom.I went to my room first" Nadin told my mother. He doesn't heed my greetings. I smiled seeing that.

"iyya son please." said my mother.

"Good morning Din.." I greet Nadin as He Crosses In front of me.

"Yya morning" he said and immediately left.

"Mom..Nadin why the hell?"I asked my mother a little whisper after Nadin left.

"Why how? Meanin?"my mother said, He seems surprised. And I don't understand my question.

"He's Cuek bu to Randa"

"you fought well..?"

"no, I don't know all of a sudden He was so.last night Nadin didn't want when I took him to the House of RT..truss He seemed not to talk to Randa."

"yes you ask dong to Nadin.the problem is what.kalo you are wrong, he apologized"

"iyya ma'am, I'll try to talk to Nadin"

After chatting with Mom, I went back to the dinner table to make a cup of coffee, Then I went to the front porch of the house to smoke. Sita's motorbike is still on the page meaning she hasn't left for work. And soon after, they showed up. "Good morning Randa.."He greeted me when he saw me.

"hay Sita's..Good morning.want to go to work?"I asked pleasantries.

"Yeah." she replied. Then he turned on his motor, to heat the engine, and then he stood there.

"Almost first.still a warm morning.."

"Have to hurry.so you want to stop at a friend's house first"

"just stay here.kan I'm also your friend hahaha.."

"work buddy." said Sita and smiled at me."I'm walking first yeah.."

"oh iyya be careful.his work spirit.."

"iyya thanks".then Sita went.

I went into the house, kept going to the kitchen to store the glasses. In the kitchen I saw Mom and Nadin busy with his cooking. I was going to take Nadin to talk, but I didn't, considering Nadin might still not want to talk to me. I choose to leave. I'll wait until Nadin becomes normal again and can talk.

"Home...I want to talk to you for a second" Nadin said when he saw me put down the glass and was leaving.

"ohh iyya what's Din.want to talk here?"I turned around and looked at Nadin. My mom didn't seem to want to talk anything and purposely went straight to the dishwasher.

"In the room" Nadin said as he strode off to his room. I'm coming from behind.

"what's Din doing?"I asked when I was in the room. I sat down on the chair, facing Nadin who was sitting on the edge of Rosban.

"I'm ashamed of Ran.."

"Then why?"

"Then with my rich attitude little boy.last night I shouldn't have been that rich to you.."

"mmm..Don't think about it..I understand that maybe you're a mind again and I shouldn't say anything that makes you more emotional."

"I'm really sorry Ran..You're kind of warm to me but." I saw a tear on his cheek.

"Aren't you angry about me, are you Ran?"

"Yes not it..I even want to apologize for leaving late for RT sir's house and talking about something that is not important, which made you angry last night"

"thank you Ran.."

"iyya.jangan Nagis again..I can go outside, right?"I stood up and ventured closer and wiped Nadin's tears and rubbed his head. Nadin looked at me and stood up and hugged me. My heart at the time, I don't have to explain how it is.

"sorry Ran.." said Nadin quietly and still crying in my arms.

"yes, it's okay..I'm sorry too.."

"you're not wrong Ran.no need to apologize" Nadin said in a voice that was still accompanied by a sobbing.

"don't cry anymore..I'm not feeling well." I said in a soft voice and rubbed Nadin's back slowly. Nadin then took off his embrace. I cleaned his teary face."Smile dong.."I said again with a smile staring at Nadin. Nadin smiles for a while."wahh.kok a minute very stingy"

"there you go... I'm going to take a shower." said Nadin. Oh iyya I forgot to write that all the rooms in my house are complete with bathrooms and toilets.

"smile again dong." I said and still stood there.

"i'll take a shower first Ran."

"I'm here ah.ungguin you take a shower and change hahaha.."I sat back in that chair.

"Hey..!! no" said Nadin like yelling and almost laughing but held."how smile I change" he said again. Then Nadin was already standing in front of me.

"replace what? I just want to see you smile one more time" I smiled at him. But unexpectedly, Nadin kissed me on the cheek. I was very, very surprised by that ahh. My face must be red. I want to talk but Nadin's index finger is already on my lips.

"that's why you can get out of here now. I want to take a shower." said Nadin and he smiled at me who was just gawking and did not know what to do.

"Okay.I went to the kitchen to report to my mother" I said, then stood up and stepped towards the door."I want to tell mom, if there's someone who's already on her son's cheek"

"hey..!! Hahaha." said Nadin slightly yelled and immediately grabbed my hand from behind. I turned.

"why..?who says.. Nyium son of a careless person.."I said as if not to accept when happy, and held back not to laugh.

"who told you not to go outside"

"but I don't have to nyium" I said again."that's not fair to me"

"so what's the solution?"ask Nadin.

"yes it's easy to stay.." I said and immediately kissed Nadin's cheek that stood in front of me. "nah.now fair hahaha"

"ihhh.modus.tell me you want to nyium Me." said Nadin while pinching my stomach."don't bring justice"

"hahaha.who started you.I've come out well."I said then opened the door and will go outside.

"do not report!!." said Nadin whispering with a smile before I went out of the room.

"It's not possible" I said and smiled.

"that's Mode..hahaha"

From Nadin's room, by the way, I went straight to my room inside I jumped up and down and punched into the air like a man to the devil then I threw my body into the bed and took a pillow to cover my face with it. "What was that?" I said in my heart. I really don't know what I'm feeling.

I woke up my body and went to the mirror in my closet. There I see my shadow. I touched my cheek that Nadin had kissed. Maybe for some people, it's a normal thing, but for me it's a very extraordinary thing that I've experienced.

When I was dating Sita, I remember she never kissed me first. Even if we did it it would be because I started it. Not to compare, but that one was incredible. And one other amazing thing was Nadin who even apologized to me first. For me it was a very moving incident in 2020(girl apologizes first). And I experienced it myself.

What was it. Can you say LOVE? I don't know. But maybe it can also be said that it was just a sign of friendship shown by Nadin but responded a little excessive by me. Ahhe..I don't want to think about that. The most important thing now is that I'm very happy. Happy that Nadin kissed me on the cheek and vice versa. It's good that Nadin wants to talk to me again. That was enough for me, and made me feel excited and confident that my decision to go back to the village with Nadin was the best decision I have ever chosen and I am living now.
