The Dilemma

It's been a week since Raihan and his family went to Jakarta to pick up Rico. And during that time, Raihan only contacted Naura a few times. Naura did not expect much. She knew, if possible, they were currently releasing their longing after not seeing each other for a long time.

The girl became increasingly restless when Raihan informed her that he and his family would return to Surabaya tomorrow. And asked her to come home the next day, following his mother's request Naura.

Naura is currently resting after lunch. She sat on the roof guardrail, alone. The girl had indeed managed to ask the Head of the Counter for half a day's permission.

"Hhhh, should I go there?" she asked someone.

Wind maybe? Because Naura is alone here.

But it turned out to be wrong. Arga came to surprise her from behind. "Boom!" exclaimed the man making Naura jump in surprise.

"Good grief! You make me surprised!" Naura growled as she stroked her chest, beating fast in surprise while looking intently at the man currently chuckling without guilt.

"What are you doing here alone?" asked Arga, who stood beside the girl.

"I'm thinking, here," said Naura, taking a deep breath.

"Oh, think anyway, think I'm washing dishes," joked Arga, who just got a chuckle from Naura.

"Shouldn't I just come? But already promised? What do you think?" she complained as he turned to Arga, looking straight ahead.

"Where are you going? Until all permission?" replied the man who wanted to know the real reason for Naura to leave for half a day.

"I want to go to the women, which I used to help. She invited me to her house because her youngest child had just returned from abroad. He was my friend from high school, even though he only attended my school for a short time because he moved before the grade." Naura's story to Arga.

"So? What is the problem? It's not good. You meet your school friends first," he said casually.

Naura just sighed and looked back at the front. Always a busy street view.

"But wait, do you want to be matched with your friend? Why did you go to his house?" said Arga, who wanted to know the extent of the relationship between Naura and Raihan.

Naura gasped in surprise at Arga's assumption. "Why I married, anyway? No. After all, my friend has been studying in New York for a long time. How can he not have a girlfriend? What's wrong with you," the girl muttered, denying her friend's thoughts.

"Yes, I think you want to be introduced to his youngest child, who is the same age as you and wants to be married. So what's your relationship with that man? Could it be that you want to join a family event because you are going out with his brother?" asked Arga as he turned to the girl who was still looking straight ahead.

"Me and Mas Raihan have nothing to do with it. After all, how could rich people like them want to be with me, who only works at the Mall, anyway? It's impossible," said Naura, who didn't want to hope for Arga's words just now. Although it's possible it could happen.

"Good," Arga mumbled softly with a relieved smile.

"Huh, what? What are you talking about?" asked Naura, who didn't hear Arga's mutter.

Arga shook his head slowly, "It's nothing. Come in! The break is over," said the man who left Naura in confusion.

Arga hasn't revealed his feelings to Naura yet. He wanted to better prepare himself for the worst that would happen to his friendship with the girl.

Naura also immediately went inside. Time to work only until five in the afternoon. After that, she will get ready to go to Ratna's house.

A girl is ready with a knee-length dress with long sleeves. Hair that she only outlets. It makes her look more elegant and mature.

"Well, that's fine. Time to be picked up by Mas Raihan, right?" said Naura, who judged her appearance tonight in front of the wardrobe mirror.

Not long after, at the door of her house, she heard someone knock. Naura was sure that Raihan had just contacted her to pick her up.

Not to help cook like her mother said. However, as Raihan's partner. Because the event was held at a famous restaurant in this city. Therefore, Naura wore a dress.

Although not an expensive dress, she bought it when there was a discount at the Mall. In fact, she was able to complete her performance tonight.

"Yeah, wait a minute!" Naura shouted from inside, who immediately put on her heels. Don't forget the handbag she brought too.

As soon as she opened the door, Raihan was surprised to see Naura's appearance tonight, which was very different from usual. The cute girl slightly polished her clean face with light makeup.

"Well, you?" Raihan was unable to continue his words because he was fascinated by the natural beauty that Naura displayed.

"Why, Mas? It doesn't fit. Oh, or the thickness of my makeup?" asked Naura, who panicked and was afraid that her makeup was too thick.

Raihan suddenly shook his head quickly, "No, that's not what I mean. But you are so beautiful tonight. I know until the end! It's ready, right? Let's go!" asked Raihan, who said smiled faintly.

The girl smiled shyly at such praise by Raihan. Then he nodded and walked next to the man who looked very handsome in his black suit. Match with Naura's navy dress.

Along the way, Raihan kept on teasing him, who was dressed up to meet his sister.

"No, Mas. Good grief! I don't want to be embarrassed later if I usually don't wear makeup. Yes, I've deleted it, just wrote it," he grumbled, annoyed as she folded her arms in front.

Raihan chuckled, shaking his head. "I'm just kidding. You really are beautiful tonight. You look different. That's why I am amazed," explained to the man while blinking one eye teasing Naura.

"Ihh, annoying," Naura sulked, annoyed.

"Oh, you will definitely be fascinated by my brother, who is so cute like Korean Oppa," he said suddenly.

"Why Grandpa, huh? Grandpa, please. Not Opa, but Oppa, Mas. It means brother. Do you really approve if, for example, I'm going out with your brother, Mas?" joked Naura, who just wanted to tease Raihan for fun.

He then turned his head and turned his attention back to the front. "Yeah, it's okay. It means that you are a sister-in-law then," said Raihan, who somehow felt unwilling. If it really happened.

However, if it really happened. Will he be willing and sincere as his sister has Naura? Now he's starting to fall in love with her.

Who knows. Raihan doesn't want to think about it right now. Because he thought it couldn't happen. Rico was never interested in any girl and said he would find his first love.

And I don't think it happened. Raihan knows how much Rico loves the girl from his past. Evidently, until now, he had never been in a relationship with any girl who chased him.
