Yes, this chapter and so on will tell the full story of the love journey of Father and Mama Salsa. Happy reading.
Flash back!
I don't understand what happened to that annoying and strange lecturer who didn't forget to be flat. Akh ... because of him, I have to walk in the scorching heat of the sun. He's nice to be in the car and air conditioned, am I? Only the wind created by God that I can enjoy. Not that I'm ungrateful, no, it's just that it's just too hot for me. I might faint because the weather is too hot.
Since it was too hot, I decided to rest under a big tree. Ah, it feels really good, very cool especially when the wind hits your face. I was surprised, the strange lecturer was already beside me sitting with his eyes closed just like I did.
"Mr. Ali? Why are you here?" The first question for the lecturer sucks.
"Just call me Safar, at least I feel a little younger than if you call me Pak Ali Lecturer who is annoying, weird, and definitely a flat, flat."
I was surprised, how did this fierce lecturer know? Hopefully he doesn't threaten to give me a D indigo this time. However, why is he smiling?
"Father is a lecturer, doctor—" He covered my mouth, I don't know what else he wanted to do, it was hard to guess. One minute he'd do this, then the next he'd do that, ahh.
"Come with me!"
See no, for some reason this lecturer is really weird.
He kept my mouth shut while walking, while I? Ah, don't ask me, I'm also walking. Stop in front of the mosque, no, more precisely behind the mosque, after which he slowly removed his hand from your mouth.
"Look, Nia, beautiful isn't it?"
"Of course, sir."
"But I'm not interested in seeing this little pond, I'm more interested in seeing you."
I don't think he can boil. Ah, wrong it turns out he can too. I kept staring at this small pond and some very large flower trees. There you can see a lot of paper hanging as if someone had written his wish and hung it on this flower tree. I don't know, I don't know if this is a flower or a tree, it's clear that there are lots of flowers blooming on this tree.
"Nia? Did you not hear what I said?"
It's up to you, I'm more focused on approaching the big tree that hangs a lot of these papers.
"What tree is this?"
"All I know is this is a wishing tree. Whoever writes his wish and hangs it will come true."
"Do you believe?"
"Not before, but what's the harm in trying it? Come on, write down your wishes, I have a pen and a small book with me."
I just nod. The fierce lecturer gave him a sheet of paper and a pen. She smiled sweetly. I don't know, I have to smile back too, right? So I replied with a smile too.
I started writing, I made sure he didn't know what I was writing. I only wrote a few sentences, if I'm honest I can't believe it but what's the harm in trying? I just wrote it like this:
I just hope that Ummi can be healthy and consider me Kania not Rania and meet me with my soul mate who will be able to guide me to His heaven.
Immediately I folded the paper book and tied it with a rope that I found around the tree and hung it. I turned to the fierce teacher. It seemed that he had also finished, then did the same thing as I did.
He approached me with a smile. There are two dimples on his cheeks. Wow, that means he's really cute. But look at him? An annoying lecturer, weird and flat. But why is he smiling at me? Maybe I'm the only one who expects this lecturer to smile for me. He could have smiled at the sight of this beautiful sight, couldn't he? Ah, not funny.
"Are you done? You must be hungry, come with me. We can eat at a nearby restaurant," he said, looking at me. Or am I just expecting him to look at me too much?
"No need, sir, Nia just wants to go home."
Of course I don't want to linger with him, I want to apologize to Farhan.
"If you go home now, what will your mother's response be?"
He is also right, Ummi might be very angry with me.
"Come with me, I'll make sure I won't force you to sit next to me later in the car."
I nodded and followed in his footsteps, trailing behind him like a mother cat and her kittens. I've never actually been to this place, but I didn't expect it to turn out to be a very beautiful place, apart from a mosque, there was also a pond behind it with a wishing tree.
"You go in first, I want to call someone first."
I don't know how many times I can only nod like an obedient person. It's all there is, isn't it? I immediately got into the car. Wow! It's really cool that in the car there is a television, there is a massage chair, there is a small refrigerator, and there is a small bed in the back. I mean before the luggage. It's funny, I've never been in a car like this, it wasn't just him who was weird, his car was weird too.
The lecturer also got into the car, then the car started to run. For some reason my body was suddenly very cold, not because of the AC but because I was walking in the hot sun and then I was surprised to sit in a cold car with AC.
The car was stopped, I was surprised, a five star restaurant must be very expensive.
"Sir, we shouldn't have to eat here. Nia has a place to eat around here and that must be very cheap."
I saw him raise his eyebrows slightly, then nodded after that. What? I managed to make this strange, fierce and cold lecturer nod? Wow! Congratulations Nia.
We then arrived at a small food stall on the side of the highway. Maybe it's strange to him, yes maybe. I went down first because this is my and Farhan's regular shop. Ah Farhan, when do I have time to apologize.
"Ma'am! One fried rice! Drink iced tea!"
I screamed a little, the shop owner nodded, I started to sit down. Astagfirullah, I forgot about that fierce lecturer. He was still standing watching every inch of the food stall. Heheh I forgot which level of rich people eat and eat at a place like this. But it's not a problem, I will get used to it, I will issue the most powerful moves.
"Mas Safari!"
He turned his head, looking for the source of the voice, I repeated it again
"Mas Safar! Here"
He was slightly surprised, then walked slowly towards my seat.
"You call me by my name sir?"
I nodded, it's a very powerful move, isn't it?
"But it seems that the name Mas for Mr. Lecturer doesn't match. Well, Nia just calls Mr. an honorable lecturer, okay?"
He frowned slightly, as if he didn't like me calling him Mr.
"What do you want to eat, sir?"
"I'll go with you, I mean the food you ordered."
I nodded in understanding, then told Ms. to make two fried rice, and two iced tea.
The food is ready, the lady brought it to us. He was a little surprised to see that I had not been to this shop for a long time, plus I brought a handsome and very neat man, definitely a rich man. But why want to eat at his little shop?
"Nia? I miss you, you know, you haven't been here for a long time, aren't you with Farhan?"
"Farhan is busy with his college assignments, Ma'am," I replied while drinking the iced tea.
"Who is he, Nia?"
"He's Ali's father, Ma'am. Nia's lecturer."
"Oh that's right, Ma'am, go back first."
I nodded.
"So, you often come here with Farhan?"
The first question from the lecturer, while continuing to look at me, but this time his gaze was different. There was something in his eyes that I didn't know myself.
"If you say it's often not, sir, it's just that this is where Nia and Farhan subscribe to, usually Farhan pays hehe."
Of course Farhan paid me where is the money?
"Hmm."
I started to eat, not forgetting to pray. Enjoying every bite of your fried rice is really good, I'm done eating. I saw the fierce lecturer's fried rice he didn't eat. Maybe he doesn't like it.
"Sir? Why don't you eat?"
"I am full."
A? He said full? It's a lie, obviously he didn't eat any of the fried rice.
"What do you eat? Nia sees that your fried rice is still intact."
"I'm full because I look at your face while you are eating. I don't want to miss a moment when you enjoy your food."
Suddenly my cheeks heat up, ah Nia! Don't be baper with sweet words, plase!
"Nia, what do you think is important for a woman? To love or be loved?"
"Loved, sir, because according to Nia that woman is a queen. The queen doesn't deserve to be chased, right? The queen deserves to be chased, the queen can't hold hands with just anyone, right, sir? There are only certain people who can do it."
The fierce lecturer smiled, very sweet.
"Nia, do you want to be my first and last love?"
Jleb! I choked, accidentally swallowing a small piece of ice. That lecturer? Is he sane? Ah, it's really crazy that I'm around him like this.
"Sir, Nia has to go home now."
Honestly, I don't know what to say about that. I'm just confused whether he realized he said it or not?
"Do you want to be my first and last love?" The fierce, strange, annoying lecturer repeated his words flatly.
"Honestly, sir, Nia is confused about what to say to you. Nia doesn't feel right for you, you are a great person, loving a woman like Nia is just a waste of your time."
At least that answer is more sane in my opinion.
"I will prove it to you Nia, wait and see that you deserve to be with me and I will make myself worthy to get you."
