Surprise in the Morning

Naura got out of Raihan's car and waved her hand as the man's car left. The girl walked into the alley, towards her house. The vibration on her cellphone had been felt for a long time, but Naura chose to ignore it.

Because, for some reason, she felt that it was Rico. Turns out her guess was correct. After she entered the house and sat on the bed. The girl checked her cell phone. The man had been in contact with her ever since. Asked her where she was and whether she was asleep or not. She and Raihan are still having dinner at a lesehan, a place for them to subscribe.

Naura only replied to his message and explained that she had just returned from dinner with Raihan. Therefore, cannot answer his calls and respond to his messages. Not long after, Rico called her. Naura answered it because there was no way she would ignore it again.

"Hello?" said Naura slowly. She made her voice as calm as possible. It was impossible for the pounding in her chest to show how happy this man was to be contacted.

"Already at home? What are you doing? I'm not bothering you, am I?" said Rico, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Naura lay down and looked up at the ceiling of her room while answering Rico's question. "Alright, it's just sleeping. Are you home? Is the party over? I think until the night," the girl guessed.

"No, really. I've been home this. After all, it's an event for parents who just want to get together. What time do you go to work tomorrow?" asked Rico casually.

"Tomorrow, I have the afternoon shift. What's wrong?" Naura was really curious. Why did Rico ask for her work schedule?

"There's nothing. Well, that's that, then. Sleep there. Good night, Nana," said Rico, who ended the call with a crooked smile. Even without waiting for an answer from Naura first. It seemed she had a plan for the girl.

"I should be able to get it!" he said confidently, determined that he would succeed.

After that, someone opened the living room door. Rico smiled at his brother, who he knew had just taken Naura home.

"Rico?" Raihan was very surprised to see his brother lying on the sofa in the living room. While playing with his cell phone.

"How long have you been here?" he asked again, who was sitting on the single sofa next to the long sofa where Rico lay down.

"No. I just arrived too. Where are you from? Why did it disappear suddenly? Mother looking for you, sneered Rico, who turned to his brother, who just chuckled.

"So what? After all, that's the show for you? What am I even there for? They want to meet you, not me, who they have often met. So, why did you come here? It really sucks to come here," sneered Raihan, who only got a grin from the man.

"I want to stay here. If you're at home, it's definitely full of our parent's guests. That's why I fled here. Find a comfortable one," he explained with a small laugh.

Raihan shook his head slowly. "Base! Still has not changed. There's a break. The guest room is next to the living room. Just like how it used to be. You didn't forget, did you?" quipped the man who got up from his seat.

"Brother, according to you, if I meet the girl from my past. What should I do?" he asked Raihan for advice.

Raihan stopped his steps, about to go up to the second floor. He looked up and furrowed his brows. He looked at his brother with furrowed brows.

"Have you met her? Just do what you always wanted to explain to her. Aren't that what you guys might misunderstand?" Raihan's response was still staring at his brother.

Rico smiled and nodded slightly. "Yes. Maybe she was angry because she felt left without saying goodbye like that. For that matter, shouldn't I explain properly?" asked the man, smiling mysteriously.

Raihan nodded, confirming his brother's words. "Yeah, just do it. Why ask? Don't you already know what the answer is? You freak!" the man sneered as he continued his steps again. While shaking his head.

Rico chuckled to himself and lay back down on the sofa. "You're the one who unconsciously gave me the way, Brother. So don't ever blame me later. If she chooses me!" he said confidently.

Rico entered the guest room where he used to often stay when he stayed here. He lay down on the bed and smiled, imagining what he would do tomorrow. I can't wait for tomorrow.

Naura sighed, seeing her call being cut off by Rico without wanting to wait for the answer first.

"Why do I feel like tomorrow something will happen, huh? Why am I so pounding like this, anyway? What's going to happen anyway?" Monologue to himself.

The girl shook her head vigorously. "I just hope it's not a bad thing, my God," Naura hoped everything would be fine.

After that, the girl began to change her clothes and remove her make-up. Then do her homework. Even though she didn't know what Rico meant by asking, Naura only hoped for good things for them.

Sunny morning. Naura looks very busy cleaning her house. Because yesterday she got the night shift. In addition, the college assignments also piled up, making her not have time to clean up.

"Ah, it's finally over. Now it's time to take a shower, then look for breakfast. Hm, two more days off, I have to quickly finish the task. So I can seem to go back to my father's house either," she lamented sadly.

Missing her parents and siblings. But it can't be helped; studying while working is also not easy for her. Moreover, she also lives alone in this city. While her parents were in the village.

Naura checked her cell phone. Because she had heard her cell phone ringing earlier. Or was she just somehow hoping someone would contact her?

While she was busy checking her cell phone, someone knocked on her door softly. Naura frowned.

But immediately put her cellphone on the table and rushed to open the door for a guest he didn't know who it was.

"Wait, just a minute!" she shouted, running faster to open the door.

The door was opened, and Naura was surprised by a handsome man standing in front of her house. With her sweet smile and casual appearance. Anyone would be fascinated by it.

"Rico?" said Naura, surprised to see the man in front of her house this early morning.

"Hi, good morning! Am I interrupting your time?" Rico replied with a smile.

"Not. But, how did you know my house?" asked Naura, who was now confused. Because as far as she remembers, she didn't give this man her home address.

Rico chuckled, "It's easy if it's just found your house. But by the way, are we going to talk in front of the door like this?" asked the man as he looked left and right. Look at the surroundings of this girl's house.

Naura, who seemed to wake up, patted her own forehead. Then let Rico into her house. Meanwhile, she slightly stepped aside to give the boy away.

"Is this my hunch last night?" Naura muttered very quietly while looking at Rico's sturdy back, who walked into his house and observed the state of his rented house.
