Playboy the King of Gombal
Episode 11

"assalammualaikum" said my greetings on the doorstep of Sherly's house. It's Sunday, as promised, if I manage to win the race, Sherly will walk with me.

"Eh.. Which time was it?" Ask aunt, sherly's maid.

"Don't call that one back then, call me daniel" I explained and smiled.

"The sherly exists?" Add me.

"Some, please come in first" aunt let me in.

"Please sit down first" aunt told me to sit down, I just sat down.

"Awhile, I made tea first" he said after I sat down.

"Bi, don't be so sweet, I'm so sweet" I replied and laughed.

"It can be.." she replied before stepping again.

"Who is this?" A woman and a man came together, I stood up and hurried to shake hands with her.

"Daniel, aunt om" I introduced myself.

They sat down, and I sat facing them.

"Famous me, papa sherly, and this is belly, sherly's mother" said papa sherly graciously.

"Greetings to auntie" I replied, I didn't think I was talking directly to Sherly's parents.

"Sherly told me about you, he said you just won the medical Olympics and won 1" said mama sherly

"Yes ma? Great for you too" said sherly nutmeg.

"Alhamdulillah om, auntie" I answered briefly, I was still nervous, this was the first time I met an old man from a woman I approached.

"Please drink yes, do not hesitate" aunt brought back 3 glasses of tea and then returned.

"Please drink it" said papa sherly, I nodded and drank a mouthful.

"Sherly is there aunty?" Ask me, instead of silence there is no conversation.

"Some, I can't wait a minute, yeah, I like the old son if tidy" his mother answered me

"Father, relax a aunt" I replied while rubbing my hands together.

"Why? Cold huh?" Ask papa sherly.

"No" I'm honestly nervous.

"you're a medical major, right?" Ask papa sherly again.

"Yes" I replied.

"When will you become a doctor?" Ask her.

"Allah om, doain aja"

"Let's take your liver medicine"

"What does it hurt?"

"For later, to treat om's heart to sincerely release princess om"

"Oh, my God, it's still a long time, so moved by me" I replied, I didn't expect Papa Sherly to joke either.

"Pa, sherly's samper mama used to be yes, kasian daniel so wait a long time" said her mother while patting her husband's shoulder gently, papa sherly nodded.

"So you're the same as Sherly?" Ask Sherly nutmeg again after her mom leaves

"Not yet" I smiled. I don't know how sherly's dad responded if he knew I was a playboy, he was a good sherly, I'd try not to hurt Sherly.

"You want to date my son, don't forget to call me"

"What's om made of?" Ask me confused.

"Sherly is his son om, I also want to know my son is happy" I smiled at his answer, also afraid to make him disappointed.

"You can ask for contact" I said courageously.

"Ohh . Maybe" papa sherly took out her phone, and so did I, we exchanged contacts.

"What else?" Ask Sherly who suddenly came with her mother.

"This is your boyfriend?" Ask papa.

"What a pa, no, just a friend" he replied after seeing me.

"Friends what friends" papa sherly teases sherly, and,

"Oh, papa, yu daniel we're out now" Sherly asked to see me.

"Om, auntie, daniel took a step back" I said goodbye, they nodded.

"Don't go home at night" said papa sherly as she shook hands with me.

"Ready om" I while taking a ready attitude as when the line is lined up.

"It's funny you too, yaudah there" her father Sherly said.

"Assalammualaikum" I said before stepping out.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied the two sherly's parents, only then did Sherly and I step outside.

"Papa you're funny too" I said when I was in the car.

"Yes, but he's only here for a week, after that he'll come back to Singapore" he replied.

"Don't be sad if I'm here ready to accompany you" I smiled at him.

He took a deep breath and then let it out

"Can you focus on driving?"

I didn't think he was still jutek to me.

I just nodded in understanding, I also know how it feels, because his dad is more or less the same as me who likes to go out of town for business.

That day I went out of town with Sherly all day, I really enjoyed it, unexpectedly it turned out that Sherly was not as quiet as I thought, she was a lot nicer than that, moreover, the more time goes by, I feel that he begins to feel comfortable with me, is not shy like before and does not often duck if in front of me.

until it's dinner time

"where do you eat?" ask him.

"where's it?" I pointed to a roadside dining place.

"may" answered.

"are you happy?" ask her

"never been this happy" he answered.

"you know? why is the sky clear tonight?" ask me while looking at the sky, stop stepping for a moment.

"why?" tanyanya looked at the sky.

"the sky is happy to see us together and happy today"

"you keep fighting, but it works to make me happy" he replied, looking back at me, we looked at each other.

"let's eat" take me.

"ayo" he answered, we continue.

when he wanted to enter unexpectedly Sherly tripped, it seems he did not realize that there was 1 ladder. I held his hand so that he did not fall.

I kept watching and he laughed, justifying his steps, he still laughed, I laughed too, my heart was glad to see him laughing, we're sitting at a dinner table where there's only me and him.

"Why?" He asked with a smile with both hands on his face. She was so beautiful and graceful, this was the first time I felt comfortable and close to someone.

"Your laughter is good, your smile is beautiful" I replied still smilingly looking at her.

"You could" he answered.

"Whoa, what do you want?" Ask.

"Just be rich" I replied still looking at him.

"Just chicken" he said.

"May" I replied with a smile, it felt like my smile could not fade, then he went to order 2 chicken noodles and 2 sweet iced tea, then smiled.

"Thank you" he said as he sat back down.

"Thank you for?" Ask me.

"To this day" he answered.

"No need, I should thank you, thank you for walking with me" I replied, this time we looked at each other and smiled.

"Together"

"Other times we walk again yeah, but..."

"But what?" Ask

"but.. I want us to walk unconditionally" he said to me, only smiling, remembering the way this time because I had won the race.

Sherly nodded slowly and smiled.

"Thank you" I said, I'm so happy.

"But, you have to promise, you can't take any more women than me" he said.

"I promise" she said raising my little finger to him, sherly paired her little finger with me and hooked each other.

we ate together, when he finished eating he was holding his cellphone

"can borrow?" ask him.

"this?" showing her hp, I nodded.

"don't open anything" he said and gave the phone to him.

I opened the note on her phone and wrote down my heart.

there is something in this world that is very interesting,

beautiful but quickly disappeared

cold but liked

hot but needed

but they also quickly disappeared

nothing is faster than a rainbow

nothing is cooler than ice

nothing is hotter than fire,

but there is something more interesting than that, which is you, but to lose it is not your decision.

I was silent, dust was not together, the rain was so cold, the wind did not shake the silent tree, I was quiet, but you were all present.

then I gave him my phone back and spoke

"we're coming home, your papa's coming"

I stood up then stepped up to the seller and paid for it all, sherly following me.

I'm taking sherly home

"don't forget to read the note on your phone yes" I said when he opened the car key, he had looked and closed the door again.

I lay in my bed, a notification rang out of a chat from sherly.

"your words are good, but I hope they're just for me"

"yes, it's just for you, I've never felt this comfortable, it's just you" I replied in the chat.

I really feel comfortable, I don't want to stop smiling and parting with him. Just stop for a moment, so he can stay with me even longer.

Sherly stays by my side like this, never changing even if the rainbow will eventually disappear after the rain until memories remain.
