Sincerity (Guineness of Heart)
Secretly Noticing.

"Son Aris, this please drink first" said Neti who was serving drinks to Fariz, at a small table in front of him.

Fariz nodded and thanked him with a gesture of his hand, Neti replied with a smile as well and died Fariz sitting alone on the chair that was on the porch.

The man noticed that every child still gathered on the porch, Nino, was now gone, after a while it kept clinging to him and only left when Netie asked him to leave.

The child had now been attached to Ami, the woman playing with Nino and the other children in a sitting position on the terrace floor not far from where she was.

From her seat, she continued to sneak a glance at the woman who was currently being mobbed by children, the woman playing with occasional laughs followed by other children.

At first the man was quite surprised, when he saw Ami was also there, he had not been there long enough because of his busyness and when he decided to visit when there was free time.

He was even met with a woman who always tried to avoid him, but some time he felt a little calm and slowly could control himself, but now. He even reunited with the woman, even this was the second time.

"Son Aris, where have you not been here for a long time?" asked Neti who had sat herself down near Fariz.

I've been busy lately, Ms. Fariz said with a faint smile.

"Oh pantesan," said Neti nodded in understanding.

Ma'am, how's Nino as long as I'm not here?

"The boy is fine, it's just that since the old Nak Aris didn't visit he was a little moody and just got better, when Nak Ami and his friends came here a few weeks ago," neti's Story.

How many times has he been here? Fariz turned to Ami.

"Just twice this same, he's here now because the mother who contacted him, Nino has asked to meet him for a few days" Neti explained.

Fariz nodded in understanding, he then turned his attention back to Ami who was staring at him as well.

As their eyes met each other, Fariz immediately turned his face back the other way, as usual, he avoided eye contact with Ami directly.

"Tuh people why the hell, do not want to really like to see me," decak Ami with his mutter.

"Sir Ami seems like a good person," Neti said with a smile.

Fariz only responded with a faint smile, but in his heart said, agreeing with Neti's words.

Meanwhile on the other hand, Ami seemed hard not to pay attention to the man, somehow his eyes felt itchy and wanted to continue looking at the man.

"Geez, what's wrong with my eyes, why do you want to keep glancing at him" muttered Ami again with a little annoyance.

His heart and mind were out of tune, his mind asking him not to heed the man and not to turn his attention to Fariz, but his eyes were betrayed, he kept staring at Fariz and the man realized it.

Fariz immediately looked back at Ami who still had not shifted her gaze, she looked at Ami with narrowed eyes, as a warning for women to stop looking at her constantly.

"This is not true, I have to get out of here like," muttered Ami in a very slow tone, she had already thrown her face in the other direction, out of embarrassment, she said, caught watching the man.

He then stood up from his original seat, approaching the seats of Neti and Fariz, intending to say goodbye, but his speech was first by Neti.

"Son Ami, you're with Nak Fariz, yes, I want to see if Via is with Bibi first, it's not done yet cooking, so we can have lunch together here yes," said Neti who had started to stand.

"There is no need to bother, Mom, I want to say goodbye immediately," declined Ami subtly.

Suddenly someone pulled the edge of his shirt, making him look down, where Nino was staring at him with a hearty look.

Brother, don't go home yet, yeah. I still want to play with my brother,

Seeing Nino's hand movements asking him to stay, making him feel unbearable to refuse, he exhaled resignedly and nodded, confirming the boy's request.

"Alright, brother will be here a while longer," said Ami in the end can only resign.

Nino smiled again, asking Ami to sit opposite Fariz, while he sat next to Fariz.

Ami saw the interaction between Fariz and Nino that was natural, they told a serious story using a gesture, it was fitting that Nino was so close to the man, he can really be a story companion for children who actually need the affection of those parents.

Ami unconsciously, continued to look at Fariz again without blinking, even now he kept his chin on the palms of his hands that were on the table.

Realizing Ami continued to look at him again, Fariz, who was originally focused on telling Nino, immediately turned his face away suddenly, looking at Ami who immediately misbehaved because he was aware of what he was doing.

"Mas" said Ami with a forced smile.

Hearing the call from Ami, Fariz's memory goes back to a time a year ago, where the call was always heard when this woman was in her apartment.

She thought, she would never hear that voice again, calling him that way for good, but just now she heard that voice again and that voice, could make her already faint heart, she said, back to presenting the twinkle.

"Mas, why daydream while looking at me like that, I'm beautiful huh?" ami said while chuckling, feeling amused by her own words.

Fariz immediately threw his face in the other direction, while exhaling from the nose violently, when he heard the words from Ami, not upset or angry, as he said, but rather hid another feeling in his heart because now, he had been in front of the woman again.

Looking at the woman with a distance of just less than a meter, her heart was still unable to be lied to, no matter how hard she tried to dispel the taste.

It felt as if he was reluctant to step aside and remained firmly silent, especially now that he had been near the woman.

"Mas, can you ask me something?" ami looked at him seriously.

Fariz looked back at Ami with almost fused eyebrows, a sign that she was waiting for the woman to continue.

"We've never met before?" Ami was still with her serious face, looking at Fariz closely.

Fariz shook his head quickly, in answer to that question, he then moved his hand, asking back to Ami.

Why are you asking that?

"I just feel, if me and Mas, what's the name forget ...." Ami stopped her speech and thought for a while. "Oh yes, Mas Aris yes," he continued when he remembered.

"Mas Aris, I felt that there was a feeling that was quite familiar the first time I saw you," Ami explained as she was.

You must be trying to get close to me by saying that, right? Did you forget that I already have a fiance, so don't use such means to approach me. Fariz wrote the lengthy statement using his phone.

"I don't mean it that way, I just say what I really feel," said Ami a little sniffed, upset with Fariz who misinterpreted the meaning of his words.
