Eps. 28 Come on


"I-I want to take you. nanjak." Flicked finger.


"Yes... Is correct. We go up Mount Kareng." That was all that went through Faiz's head. He didn't know what Tia liked. Clearly, he knew at that time Tia was in need of entertainment.


Circumstances had to force her to answer quickly as Tia kept pushing the door of her room from inside.


"I thought about it!"


Hearing that answer, Faiz let Tia close the door of his room just like that.


It seems Faiz did not make a wrong offer. The right conclusion just by looking at the behavior of Tia during the field practice location. Walking without weights and physical that are not easily hurt like people who are accustomed to the field.


Along the way to the house earlier, Faiz kept thinking about the plan he would do to prepare for the climb later.


He invited his class to climb together. Some of them agree, while others choose not to join for a variety of reasons.


"alright. It's time I checked the gear." Faiz began to be busy dismantling his climbing tools. Tents, Sleeping bags, portable and others are all checked carefully.

"Tia, are we yuk?" hani said from across the street "Many class kids are coming"


"When's the plan?" Tia


"Late week. You're coming, huh?? Let's get our farewell before the semester breaks. Yeah.well??" Hani continues to persuade Tia


"Long entertainment. It will surely miss. Follow Yah?"


"Yes, okay." Finally Tia agreed to Hani's request.


He actually likes to climb. Only, the thing that incriminates Tia to come along is the existence of Faiz.


"Asiiikkk.. tomorrow I pick up well, we shop for food later," Hani.


"Yes, whatever." Pasrah's answer.


***


Actually class vacation plans have been discourse, only there is a reason why Faiz chose the mountain as a place for their vacation.


Although Faiz had given up the responsibility to Hani to take care of the rations section, still he got involved when Hani and Tia were shopping.


During the shopping, Faiz interrupted Tia several times, but the woman remained silent. Maybe Hani did not realize it, but Faiz seemed to know the meaning of the face.


"It turns out he does like to climb," Faiz murmured after seeing how Tia chose the food ingredients they had to take with them to climb.


"Have your feelings improved?" Faiz whispered as Hani slightly moved away from them


"I'm fine." answered accordingly


"You might be able to lie to others, but I'm not." Faiz


"Not to care." Subject to


"You why the hell? What's my fault, actually?" faiz asked curiously


"Is your fault?" Looking straight at Faiz


"Because you're a man!!" he said then ran after Hani


Faiz. He was trying to digest the meaning of Tia's words just now.


"What if I'm a man?"


After that conversation Faiz became a little silent. Because not as late as usual, Hani finally asked a question


"Why are you two?" Hani yanh felt something strange


"What?" Tia


"Why is it like being quiet to each other?" Hani


"It's usually like this, right?" This time Faiz answered


"Fast you?? Your attitude makes you shiver!" Tymphal Hani


"It seems like everything is complete. I'll wait at the cashier." Tia answered and walked away from Hani and Faiz


"You're working on it again, huh?" Tukas Hani


"Let's explain. Why?" Hani stared fixedly at Faiz because he was not satisfied with the answer just now


"Because I'm a man." In short, then go carry all the groceries and go to the cashier.


"Hmmm I know." Hani flicked her finger and walked towards the cashier


I don't know what strategy Hani is planning, to make Faiz and Tia close.


***


Tia's statement in the alfamode just now continued to hover in her head.


"Aiz," The baritone's voice awakens Faiz from his reverie


"Ah, Father." Faiz fixed his sitting position


"Have you figured out why you're smiling today?" Asked his father who had noticed Faiz daydreaming in front of the TV


Faiz smiled hearing that. He doesn't know what to say.


"Don't let go of what's the source of your happiness." The father continued while touching Faiz's back


"Is he really the source of my happiness?" Faiz


"What if we're not the source of her happiness?" Faiz began to enter in his father's introduction


"That means we must keep what makes the source of happiness smiling." Answer the father


"Dad, what's wrong if we're men?" Faiz wanted to dispel his curiosity


"The man is always wrong. Right or wrong, in a woman's eyes, wrong is a man." With a loud voice Uli joined in the conversation of the two men


"Little boy, you know what?" said Faiz who was disturbed by the existence of Uli


"Dad, it seems like love Brother Aiz clapped one hand." Ejek Uli then sat down beside his father


"Ish, who's clapping one hand?" Faiz replied, "I'm not sure how I feel."


"Makanya Kak Aiz do not reseeee... The woman likes to be noticed, not to be bullied. Right, Dad?" uti said, then rubbed Faiz with his tongue


"Who is rece?? Only a whiny woman would agree with you." Faiz


"At home alone, Kak Aiz likes to take food when it does not belong to Kak. Just imagine how it would be like another woman." Uli took out his unackles


The father just smiled at the behavior of his two children.


"I'm not just like that to you. You're funny when you're hooked." The corners of Faiz's lips are attracted symmetrically.


"Yes dong. I'm funny indeed," showed off a sweet smile


"Well, don't be mad if Aiz pranks you." Said the father while sipping his coffee


"Aaaa I don't want to, I better not be funny. Why did you defend Aiz?? It's only right that Aiz's sister is always with me." Uli protest with his face


"You see Aiz? He said it was funny, now don't want to be funny." Said the father with a smile. "That's how women are, they're hard to guess and want."


"Oh, so I mean, you want a lot of Mommy?" The mother appeared with a snack that had just been lifted from the frying pan


"Yaaaaaa, what do you want to say?" Uli Goda. Everyone laughed when they saw the father as if he were dead.


"Faiz, at a time like this, men should never talk again. Because whatever we answer, everything will remain wrong in a woman's eyes." The father immediately gave an example


A harmonious family atmosphere is created in the room. The debate that night was clearly won by the women.


***


After the conversation in the living room was over, Faiz laid his body on the bed. He reads a message from Hani whose contents are photos when Faiz and Tia walk side by side with carrying groceries.


"You're a really hohoo-matching couple." The message Hani sent to Faiz.


It turns out that Hani's naughty finger had captured the moment. A faint smile on Faiz's face appeared without any orders.
