Cupid I'M In Love
Chapter 11 Keeping the Distance

When night fell, the time had shown at half 9 pm, Nadia was still busy doing schoolwork tomorrow morning.

ting .. ting ...Ting ...

Suddenly heard the tone of the notification chat Wa on Nadia's phone.

He immediately took the phone he put on the middle shelf of his study table. Nadia immediately checked who was sending chat nights like this.

After opening it turns out that there is a WA chat with the contact name Ricky Ganteng. Yeah that's the WA chat from Ricky.

Nadia's heart immediately fluttered. Finally Nadia also read the WA chat, there read chat-chat ala-ala children today.

"Assalamu'alaikum Nadia, what are you doing? not bothering you?" 🙏🙏

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ricky ... I'm doing schoolwork again,"

"If you can tell, what's the need Rick?" 😶

"Emmm, there is no apa2 oq Nad, just want to know your news. I'm sorry, Nad, if I had bothered you?"

"Don't bother oq, it's also about to finish the task Rick," '_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Oh if it's not disturbing, then I can dong WA you again? 😊😊 anyone want me to ask you?"

Nadia stopped replying to the chat from Ricky, she was confused about what Ricky wanted to ask her? Nadia bit her lower lip, feeling anxious.

After thinking for a while, Nadia finally began to reply to a short chat from Ricky earlier.

"What's wrong, Rick?"

"Emmm ... go home school earlier, like you're in a hurry Nad, what's the matter Nad, you have a problem?" 😞

Nadia stopped again for a while, how she had to answer this question from Ricky.

"Would I write down what answer is this? so Ricky does not suspect, not that I am afraid of Rani, but at least I do not want to make new problems later" said Nadia Lirih.

Then Nadia typed,

"ah there is nothing oq Rick, I just wanted to quickly go home and be able to help the mother in the house," replied Nadia looking for reasons.

"Is that right, Nad?"

"Yes, really Ricky,"

"Oh Ricky, already yes, sorry bnget, 🙏🙏 because I kebelet nih, so WA continued besuk2 aja ya?" 😁

"Bye .. wassalamu'alaikum,"

Nadia tries to avoid Ricky, immediately he ends the conversation in WA.

"Ok .. okey Nad, until we meet at school, bye .. wa'alaikumsalam," replied Ricky, who was not satisfied to hear the answer from Nadia.

...

Bend day ... Nadia eagerly went to school. But this time Nadia left rather unfortunate, not as usual.

Because Nadia hopes, when she arrives in class, there are many friends who come, so that she can minimize her meeting with Ricky personally.

So as not to add to his problems with Rani. Last night Nadia had decided to keep her distance from Ricky and hopefully Ricky can understand with his attitude.

As expected Nadia when she arrived in the class had many friends Nadia who arrived. Some of them are busy cheating to do schoolwork, which they have not done at home.

There were some who were just sitting in the classroom, and some who were busy and then out of class.

As Nadia moved her legs towards her seat, there were a pair of eyes staring at her. Like the gaze of an eagle's eyes that want to pounce on its prey.

But Nadia is not daunted by it, as long as she does not make mistakes she will never be afraid to face it.

Nadia continued to walk calmly, there was Mirna waiting for her to come from earlier. Ricky also arrived in class, a few minutes earlier than Nadia.

"For Mirna" said Nadia.

"Pagiiii .. today how to go to the siangan, not usually kayak?"

"Hehe, I woke up last night Mir, so yes gini, the new clock arrived," replied Nadia who was reasoned.

"Elo can wake up too Nad, too" mocked Mirna.

"For Nad, just arrived?" greet Ricky.

Nadia just smiled faintly to return the greeting from Ricky.

Seeing Nadia's attitude that there was no meaningful action against Ricky, Rani was happy.

"It looks like Nadia followed my words yesterday. It is appropriate that he behaves like that, knows himself as well as him," said Rani satisfied with a cynical smile.

On this day, Nadia really kept her distance with Ricky. Like during the break in the bagin, Nadia pretended not to see the whereabouts of Ricky.

Though clearly Ricky was in the wooden chair next to him, Nadia pretended to be busy reading a book that she deliberately brought to the cafeteria.

When there was an empty hour, in class, Nadia pretended to be sleepy, and wanted to use the empty hour with sleep. Later, when returning home from school, Nadia asked to join Mirna's car so that there was no chance to meet with Ricky.

For several days Nadia was evasive like that, in various ways and with various reasons she did in order to avoid Ricky.

Because the situation was already considered very profitable for Rani, he also began to take various approaches to Ricky.

Rani starts approaching Ricky during the empty hours, trying to get Ricky to chat. When there was a lesson Rani always glanced at Ricky from his seat position with a flirtatious look.

At the time of the dikantin was Rani, trying to offer drinks or food for Ricky, Rani trying to sit down with Ricky.

But because of these approaches made by Rani, it makes Ricky even more uncomfortable to be near Rani who is too aggressive, he feels uncomfortable being treated like that.

One week has passed. Nadia's attitude to Ricky still remains the same, she still keeps her distance from Ricky.

This began to be felt by Ricky, he does not know why lately Nadia continues to avoid him when he was about to talk to Nadia. Ricky asked Mirna. But Mirna herself knew nothing.

Ricky tries to get Mirna to find out the cause. Mirna also tried to ask directly to Nadia, but unfortunately, Nadia still did not want to give any explanation.

Nadia just said, that there is no problem and his attitude towards Ricky was mediocre, he did not try to avoid Ricky, maybe just Ricky's feelings.

For Ricky, Nadia's attitude towards him is not just a mediocre attitude. There is something unnatural, maybe Nadia is covering up something, who does not want it to be known by others.

Because the ways done by Ricky and Mirna have failed to find out the reason for the change in Nadia's attitude towards Ricky. Ricky began to rack his brain, looking for another way.

"I'd better do what this is, because Nadia always avoids me, even though with other friends it seems there is nothing. Only against me did he do that. Have I done anything wrong to him, so he's hurt or what? ricky said in his heart.

"What should I do?" Ricky************* both of his hands while thinking.

"If I ask directly at school always fails because he will always avoid me, then better, I will ask directly to Nadia at home only. Yes, I will secretly go to Nadia's house, so Nadia will definitely not be able to dodge me again" Ricky said confidently.

He smiled with relief, because this method would work.

Ricky plans tonight he'll visit Nadia's house. Ricky had asked Mirna about Nadia's daily schedule, and in the end Ricky chose to visit Nadia's house at night.

Because at this time, Nadia must have no activities and Nadia's family at night must have been at home all.

So Nadia certainly will not be able to avoid when there are guests or friends who come to visit.
