Sweet Pills
Chapter 6. Chipmunksi!

Screeching whispers inside the men's bathroom. Several men were grinding, squeaking each other, determining who was the prettiest among the trainees. Call them guys A, B, C and D.

“Cruby girls makeup saucy dah.” said guy A, both of them nod, but guy B refuted, “But, the girl in the design class was sweet tau. Niki if not wrong, his name is.”

The guy C chimed in, “Iya anyway, his son was really excited. Then, his face was like he wasn't wearing powder. It was fitting the lunchbox to the design boy, he happened to be standing next to me. Beuh, the cheeks are real smooth, no powder. Clear natural.”

“But,” this time the guy A is back squeaking. “The quiet fashion girl is beautiful too. His nose is so small, my taste is so.”. D Man replied, “Name is Vira. Yes, Vira.” He fell silent, his smile grew, his demons appeared.

“Eh, just a little more adzan dhuhur. They're at prayer to the mosque tuh... on the loose socks, right?”

Coinciding with the reverberating adhan, they immediately accelerated the steps to the mosque. Accidentally, the D guy hit Wijaya's shoulder on the road. The cold man did not bully him at all, understanding him who was in a hurry to perform worship, just like himself.

A second later, he noticed their agitation. The four men were waiting for the women who were taking off their shoes on the steps of the mosque. Wijaya watched them from a distance. Some women's shoes that have stepped in are taken the four massage one by one.

Something's not right.

He sped up his steps and immediately sat on the steps of the mosque. While taking off his red shoes, he eavesdropped on the conversation of those who were huddling around the gray shoes. The shoes he knew. Belonging to the noisy participants withstood the boredom this morning, Niki.

As if to know what the male brain is planning, as fast as lightning Wijaya moved and confronted them.

This tall man looked down at the four. Without a word, just eyes. He gestured for them to return the shoes immediately. However, the four of them no one understood him or, pretending to be insensitive.

He then forcefully took Niki's shoes from the hands of the slut guy, the D guy.

‘Don't you dare disturb him.’

The look in his eyes threatened sharply, to the extent that the brutes felt intimidated. The four of them then broke into the fog and immediately dispersed from his sight. The gray shoes were then placed next to his shoes, in the middle of the stairs of the mosque.

...∞...

Dhuhur congregation is completed. Safira and Niki walked around jokingly to the steps of the mosque, wanting to put up their shoes.

“Eh mango ice cream is sour, still only sip cok-Nik?” Safira instantly silently realized there was no interlocutor anymore on the side. Niki. No, rather, his steps did not dare to approach. Safira noticed, Niki's shoes didn't exist. Lost where?

Niki who was already aware of the existence of his ashes shoes was still in place. The shoes were next to the red shoes that had been worn.

What happens, then it happens.

The sky is cloudy, the day is no longer hot, the wind blows slowly. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, there was someone sitting dashingly on the steps of the mosque while chatting with Xabil and Abigail. Someone who since morning, Niki avoids.

Xabil and Abigail looked at Niki with strange gazes. It was like he was going to defuse a time bomb, very carefully approaching Vijaya.

His right hand tried to reach the gray shoes from as far away as possible. He pulled it slowly from the right side of the red shoe master.

Unfortunately, their eyes met.

Wijaya saw both pairs of eyeballs that were twice as big as his eyes. He knew that the look was not in awe, astonished. Right, Niki was astonished by him.

Wijaya's eyes are smaller if observed this close. Fortunately, the look in the eye was helped by sharp protruding brow bones.

Gave a manly impression on his similar face... “Chipmunks.”

Accidentally, twice!

Xabil, Abigail, and Sapphira fell silent to hear it, “Ch-chipmunks?” ask Xabil again. Make sure that his hearing is not damaged.

“Buahahaha!” Safira immediately laughed out loud until it was transmitted to Abigail. Both giggled to hold the stomach that began to heartburn with both hands.

The chipmunks thrower immediately fled, leaving them far behind after finishing wearing his ashes. ‘Sial.’

Embarrassing. “Look no, his face was instantly red! Hahahaha!” chirps Abigail breezed her legs, Safira more amused to respond. While Xabil just laughed just like that, when he saw the cold Wijaya tried to hold back the laughter while bowed.

Today, although there had been no chatter between the two of them, Niki's mannerisms had already comforted her many times.

What would happen if we spoke together?

Like a horse out of a pingitan. If Niki chose to dodge, then someone would choose to pursue.

Time shows at two o'clock. All the trainees were sitting sweetly inside the hall waiting for the rain to subside. Half an hour ago, the weather was cold. Three soldiers took part in the hall with them.

A soldier suddenly stood up giving directions. “Because it is raining outside, our activities are done inside the hall. Everyone please get together to create a discussion circle per department.”

The army then explained the activities they would do, namely the presentation of introductions or promotions between majors. Really like ospek prodi during college.

The hall instantly echoed, crisp in five large groups. They were given time to discuss until three in the afternoon. “Before that, please choose the class leader first.” continued Mr. Army again.

Spontaneous many headless humans amidst design participants. Like a turtle that encounters its predator, the males hide their heads to a table, except for two men, Xabil and Vijaya.

“Xabil, gas!” niki shouted, this woman even ignored the other candidates on her right.

Xabil scratched his head in disdain, “Hehehe, don't be. Preferably the chairman, the oldest.” answer is low.

Hearing that, Gregor turned around to look at the jeans man sitting behind him. From the style of dress alone, it was discovered that he was as old as here. “Abang aja, lah.”

The man did not care and immediately threw away his face. Niki immediately turned her head, He recognized her! The old man, his rival during the interview!

Wijaya was glued to the front, his gaze suspiciously staring at the nameless man.

“In my opinion, it is not wise to ask the oldest to be the chairman. Better, which is still nimble. Xabil for example, or Wijaya.”.

“Troubles.” says Wijaya is short and cold. He peeked at the name on his desk, Ryan Aldi.

Safira snatch, “Elah. his guy on cupu gini. Do I need to hire a guy next door?” All eyes hit Ryan's back. He was cornered, “Ya udah.”

“Oke, each one give his suggestion yes, don't forget the introduction. Ask what to call during training later. Counting, let's be more familiar.” said Ryan then took a piece of paper and pen.

Niki stared at Ryan as long as his former rival was introducing himself. Ryan looked back at her. The patin girl then smiled, but Ryan was reluctant to reply.

Did he forget me? niki's grumble in the heart.

Wijaya sat to the right of Niki. Of course, this discussion opportunity should be the reason to talk to Niki.

The man looked down parallel to Niki's ears hiding behind his black veil. Already so, Niki still refused to look. He was afraid, they looked back.

His mouth was not yet in sync with his brain. There were too many silly chirps today, and the victim was Vijaya. What else would you be ashamed of?

“Hei.” greet Wijaya quietly and not responded.

The man's right index finger knocked on Niki's white table many times. Still, Niki pretended not to listen.

This shy girl pretentiously was busy exchanging opinions with Mita, Abigail, and Sapphira.

Barrage. Emotions peak. If only Niki had ignored him again before that second, Wijaya would have raised her chair to let him scream.

“Hey, Niki Keita.”

“Iya? There ap-“

Accidentally. Her nose poked softly on Niki's cheek.

What an accident. Three people spontaneously covered his mouth, trying to hold back the word ‘cie’ came out because the incident was purely accidental.

Abigail, Mita, and Sapphira. Even the quiet Rayhan and Finn. The five participants retreated to hit the seat support.

Niki even pulled her head back, for sure. But Wijaya still remains in his position, he even equates his manic to stay in line with Niki who has now noticed it. Without blinking.

Deg

“Wire!” niki in my heart.

“I think design is the best skill to master right now. No need for a special workspace, the important thing is that there is a laptop. Starting from the design of invitations, book covers, even drawing comics like webtoon, very broad. In essence, the skill-“ Wijaya continues to nyerocos to Niki's ears that have been taken over the heart.

Only his heartbeat was heard, even his stomach was reacting, heartburn. I don't know since when the blood-reducing system can be in sync with the digestive system.

“I think I ate wrong.” Again! three times!

Again, the response is not connected at all. Wijaya realized, Niki was nervous if suddenly like this.

Without warning, too suddenly! Although his eyes were still staring at Niki, at least his body was back firmly in the chair.

“Niki Keita.”

“Niki Keita?”

“Halo?? Maam? Still breath?” Ryan called.

Niki's eyes blinked many times, his consciousness re-functioning to adjust the discussion situation. Again, Wijaya grimaced.His hands crossed while smiling anxiously at Niki. We will talk later.
