ABOUT YOU
The Arfan Family


After arriving at the place to eat, Arfan immediately ordered grilled corn, black coffee, boiled noodles with two eggs and mineral water. Once the food was served, I immediately ate the boiled noodles as fast as lightning. Although only eat boiled noodles, but it tastes so delicious if again hungry like this. Especially with someone as special as Arfan.


We both ate a piece of grilled corn that had just been served. Arfan bit the grilled corn on the right side, and I on the left. Once it reached the middle, Arfan and I looked at each other for a few seconds.


It feels like this heart is beating so fast. Shamed and nervous, I immediately dropped the corn to make a glass filled with coffee that Arfan just ordered, spilled and hit his pants.


“Eh, sorry, Fan!” I said quickly to immediately clean the pants Arfan hit by coffee by using a tissue.


“Yes, it's okay.”


For a few minutes, the atmosphere was quite awkward. I was misbehaving and made me feel so ashamed of what happened. I thought, I almost did that with Arfan.


Shit, this is all because of Jeni and Dhea about last night's chat. I failed to focus and continued to imagine things that might make me faint when it happened.


“Ris, elo know not why I like lo?” the question made me immediately shake my head and be so curious to hear the answer.


“Elo it's beautiful inside out. Ever since I first saw you, I have indeed fallen in love with your personality and all about you. The rest, falling in love does not have to know what the reason is, right? Because the name of love does not look at the word reason.”


I'm stunned. I looked at Arfan's face looking at me. However, Arfan quickly shifted his eyes and we both immediately looked wrong.


“Ris,” call him slowly.


“Iya, why?”


Not yet Arfan answered, the phone seemed to be beeping. As soon as he saw the screen, somehow Arfan's facial expression seemed to change. Like an expression of an angry and vengeful face.


“Why, Fan? Not picked up his phone?”


“Hah? It's okay, ko. This prank call,” he said that immediately put his phone back in his leather jacket pocket.


Whose call is that? I became curious. Is Arfan starting to hide something from me?


“Bome, yuk?” invite Arfan who was immediately given a nod by me.


After we finished eating and paying for the order, we both rushed home. Before returning home, Arfan invited me to visit his house. With pleasure, I immediately agreed. Because I'd love to meet Arini, Arfan's sister.


As soon as I got to Arfan's house, I was immediately taken by him to make me quite happy with his warm treatment for me.


“Bu, Arfan bring beautiful girl, nih!” it was her scream that made a middle-aged woman come out from inside her room.


“Who, Son? Loh, who is this?” asked a beautiful middle-aged woman as soon as I saw her coming with Arfan.


“Boyfriend Arfan,” he said to make me immediately nudge his arm slowly.


“Hallo aunt, I'm Risa.” I kissed Arfan's mother's palm. Apparently, Arfan's mother looks prettier if you look at the original.


“Oh, is this your girlfriend, Fan? Hello Risa. Here, Nak.”


I glanced at Arfan and he nodded his head slowly. Arfan's mother was very kind. Besides being beautiful, she also treated me very well like her own son. If it's like this, I feel like I miss you.


“Ris, recognize this is my adek. He's Arini,” said Arfan while holding the hand of a beautiful woman.


“Arini,” he said quietly with a little gagu.


“Risa. You're beautiful, Rin.”


I approached Arini and hugged her tightly. Although Arini has mental retardation and the way he speaks is not so clear. But, she's very pretty. I'm not lying, Arini is really pretty.


Arfan said, Arini is also smart. He's very good at counting. Although he has shortcomings, but behind his shortcomings he has advantages that not necessarily everyone can.


While at Arfan's house, I saw some old Arfan family photo albums. In the photo album there is also a photo of Ayu's brother, Arfan's first brother whose age is very far from Arfan. They look very close, even photos of Arfan and Arini also look like lovers. He loves his brother and sister very much, I love seeing how Arfan treats his sister and his mother.


It was so sweet and not everyone could be like Arfan. Although he had a very sad face, but his heart was very soft. He also treated me so well and never said anything rude to me.


While looking through the photo album, Arini came up to me. He took my hand and invited me into Arfan's room.


“Nothing went into Arfan's room? What if he's angry?”


“A Arfan good sister, she definitely won't be angry.”


“Arfan Room neat too well, Rin?”


Arini nodded and smiled faintly. Arini showed me a mini-sized photo album. He asked me to open it, actually I did not want to and tried to refuse it. But, Arini was a little pushy and I ended up opening it as well. Once opened, it turns out there are a lot of photos of me in the photo album.


“Why? Ko, can?” I asked Arini.


“A Arfan has loved Risa tea for a long time. A Arfan has never collected photos of women this much other than teteh. That's the sign, a Arfan really likes teteh.”


Like me that much? I think what Arini said is true. Arfan who suddenly asked me out, it was basically all sudden. He also said that he liked me a long time ago. So, what about how I feel about her?


“Do not hurt a Arfan well, Tea. He likes you very much.”


I'm speechless. I could hurt her, Arfan was so good to me. He always spoke politely to me. Never made me angry, even I who often made him upset and always jutek to him.


“Arfan once said he likes me just as much as you do, Rin?”


Arini nodded and smiled slightly.


“She always says the name of every teteh in her prayer after prayer. Arini always heard it,” she said which stunned me. How much does Arfan like me?


“You're serious, Rin?” ask me to make sure.


“A Arfan is a good and responsible sister. He never lies. He is always honest even though telling the truth is sometimes always painful.”


“So, Arfan was diligent in prayer, well?”


Arini nodded and went back to talking about Arfan enthusiastically. Although sometimes I find it difficult to understand what he tells me because of his limitations, but I am quite happy to hear him tell stories.


“A Arfan was once had aspirations to become an ustadz, loh.”


“Wah? Masa, anyway?” I just don't believe it.


“Iya, once teteh dreadin deh if a Arfan again njai. His voice is so cool, the chanting of the recitation of the holy verse of the Qur’annya also very soothing.”


“So want to listen to yourself, deh.”


“Typically, if the heart a Arfan again fretting, a Arfan often saw to calm his heart. Especially since my father died. A Arfan is very often naji, if now it may be rare. You see A Arfan thinks Risa tea continues,” he said telling a story.


“Thinking me? Every day?”


“Every time,” answered Arini who made me look back at a picture frame where in the photo there is a photo of Arfan togetherness with Arini.


“A Arfan once said to me. Risa tea is like a mother. In the past, our father also fell in love with the mother because of the attitude of sweet mother behavior such as Risa.” tea


“Really?”


Arini nodded and showed an old photo where the photo is a photo of Arfan's father and mother while they were young and still dating.


“Similar to teteh, right?”


I laughed wide. Maybe a little similar. His father Arfan also looks very handsome, like the face of Arfan in the past.


“I hope, Risa tea can last the same a Arfan,” he said that made me glaze over as soon as I heard her words whose articulation did not sound so clear.


“False, Rin. Do’a is the best.”


“Risa, let's have dinner first!” his mother Arfan shouted from the kitchen.


“Iya, Aunt.”


Arini and I headed straight to the dining room to eat together. However, before coming out of Arfan's room, I accidentally saw a picture frame under Arfan's bed pillow.


I also accidentally saw a shabby box under Arfan's desk. What box is that? And, whose picture frame is that? Why are you under the pillow? I was curious about all that.


“Teh, come!” said Arini while pulling my hand.
