Mahadaras
episode 9

...

After that night, where Dara and Dika had a short conversation at the park and ended Dika who drove Dara to the front of his alley. Now they both seem to be getting closer by the day. Dika who occasionally takes Dara to school before she leaves for work, or Dika who stopped by the cafe where Dara works. It seemed like Danil and Arinda's efforts were quite successful by introducing the two of them.

"Ra, I'll take you home later"

"Thank you, Wan. But later I've picked him up" the smile appeared on Dara's face as she remembered how Dika would pick him up. Yes, Dika did promise to pick him up after work later

"Who,Ra?" asked the clouds with a curious look

"Friends"

"The guy who stopped by here a few times, huh? That kind of a bit of a delinquent"

"His name is Dika, and yes maybe his looks are delinquent but he's even better than me"

After meeting Dika several times, Dara was always amazed by the man. Starting from the way he behaves to her as a man to a woman who is quite polite. Dara who knew Dika did not smoke let alone drink hard from Danil at that time.

Dika who diligently worshiped him. And several times Dara saw Dika who was almsgiving to the people in the street as they passed by. Even Dika once bought some donuts that sold a boy in red light when Dika would deliver himself to school. Then the doughnut was given to him by saying "to make provisions" Dara had asked at that time why Dika bought donuts for him from a small child. And he simply replied "that was his recovery this morning". Somehow even with a short answer like that alone has made Dara's feelings warm. He seemed to be awakened about his way of being grateful. Dika was able to impress her in her own way.

What Dara knows, Dika is not from a family that has a treasure. Dara knows that Dika works in a workshop as a mechanic. Danil also had a little story about Dika who likes to race. Danil said, in addition to Dika's hobby of racing also to make money for the treatment of his sister. I don't know Dara doesn't want to be too excessive to know more in the affairs of other people's lives. But Dara so thought, it turns out to be good and help people do not need to be rich first.

...

"Is he ready?" Dika asked Dara after making sure the girl was wearing her helmet properly

"Yes, it's ready"

"But someone is missing"

"Well what?"

Without any more words, Dika opened the black jacket he was wearing and gave it to Dara

"Pake, the malem air can make you sick plus we ride the bike"

With a confused look Dara also received the jacket and wore it

"I'm too fast to say yes"

After making sure his jacket is worn by Dara and the girl sits well in the back of her motorcycle, Dika drove his motorcycle across the streets of the city that had begun to be quiet. Accompanied by the slightly strong night wind, there was no conversation between the two.

"Like a round wedang?"

"Well what?" Dara was surprised by Dika's sudden question

"Lu like wedang ronde ga?"

"Oh, I like it anyway"

This time Dara felt the motorbike they both drove stopped right next to the wadang ronde sales cart that ran in front of the closed shophouse. After descending and removing their helmets they sat on a mat that had been provided by the seller.

"Thank you bang. Bang pesen 1 again yes"

"Yes mas"

"You're lacking?" asked Dara who was confused to hear Dika ordering wedang round again, even though the style had just been made and not eaten

There was no answer from the man. There was only a smile Dika gave Dara

"Let's keep her warm"

"Yes"

"It's the wedang ronde"

"Awhile yes"

Afterwards Dara saw Dika walking across the street. Right across the street in front of the closed shophouse, Dika gave his wedang ronde to an old man who was sitting. Judging from a sack and some cardboard he carried, it seems like the father was a pumulung. After giving the bowl of wedang round that Dika again sat next to him.

"Why do you love that old man ronde?"

"That's his recipe"

Dara's lips unwittingly smiled and her heart warmed to see how the man was so kind to others

"Why smile?"

"Ha, it's nothing. Just thinking about it again"

"Think what? Strangely yes definitely"

"That's delicious. I think again want your kayak who never thought many times if you want to help others"

"Help others don't use excuses. Alms do not have to be rich first, and alms also do not make the sustenance reduced"

"You're great"

"Don't overdo it, you just don't know me yet"

"I want to ask you?"

"What"

"Why don't you smoke?"

"Hhhh"

"Hm, when I was at the race I saw you didn't smoke like Danil and the others"

"Oh, I'm allergic to nicotine"

"Oh that's it"

"Keep Danil you said that reading the Qur'an is also good, right?"

"Don't believe. Where there are people like I can pay"

"Yes, Danil said that. He said you were also praying"

"Don't be too trusting if you're hearing stories about me that are exaggerated"

...

After finishing with the wedang round and paying it, now continue the journey to Dara's house. Still with the jacket Dika was wearing the girl. Many times Dika always asked if he was too fast to carry his bike. And Dara who assured if Dika did not speed with the speed of the motor is enough.

Again Dara asked to be dropped off in front of her home alley. Dara did not dare to go down in front of her house. She was afraid it would be a problem if her father knew Dara was being driven home by a man. Maybe it's not like worrying about a father to his daughter, Dara knows her father is not that concerned with her. It's just that Dara does not want to argue later which eventually makes Dara's heart sick again. Plus Dara will definitely come to school with her eyes praying tomorrow morning.

"Thank you"

"Yes alike. It's back home"

When he always made sure the girl got to his house and entered, he left. At first Dika was confused why Dara did not allow him to take the girl to the front of his house. But, Dika understand, maybe Dara is afraid of being scolded by her parents for being ushered by a man these nights. So, Dika did not mind if you have to drop Dara in front of the gang according to the girl's request. The important thing is to make sure Dara arrives and enters his house safely before he leaves.

"Good night beautiful"

"You make me even more amazed by you"
