Trouble Maker
Chapter 45

To this day, Novri is still thinking about what Marni said the other day and makes her a little hesitant to take her relationship with Gita to a more serious level.

"What did Marni say was true or not?" If that's true, I might also experience the same thing as Marni once experienced" inner Novri.

"I can't be so bad to think about it before it's proven and see it with my own eyes" Novri thought. A message via WhatsApp is coming in. Novri opens and reads the contents of the message that turned out to be from the Gita.

"Nov, can we see you now? I want to say something, I'll wait for you at the regular cafe".

"Just now I want to chat Gita, he's already chat first, yes I've met him only" Novri moved and rushed to the place intended by Gita.

...*****...

Twenty minutes later, Novri arrived and Gita was waiting for him.

"Git, what's up, you're meeting gini all of a sudden?" Tanya Novri, who was already sitting in front of Gita.

"Nov, instead of me talking about people or anything, I just want to know what Marni said to you at the time" Gita said.

"Did I tell you the truth about Gita? But, if I tell you the truth, it does not rule out the possibility that Gita will scold Marni, even widen later the problem" Novri worried in his heart.

"Nov, how are you silent" Gita rips Novri's daydream and makes him realize.

"Eh...! Yes, Git, sorry, I was daydreaming" Novri a little wave.

"Nov, I'm asking you and please answer honestly, what did Marni say to you?" Ask Gita who is starting to be impatient.

"There's nothing, it's just a family matter" Novri tries to cover up the truth.

"You don't lie, Nov, I can see from the look in your eyes, if you're hiding something" Gita seemed to know that Novri was lying to her.

"Did Marni talk to me, huh? Ugly me in front of you?" Ask Gita full of questions.

"Oh yeah, Git, I just remembered, later tonight there's a new movie coming in theaters, we're watching, yuk" Novri switched the conversation.

"Udah deh, Nov, do not divert the conversation, I do not work with that kind of thing, I know, Marni has spoken ugly about me" Gita looked sharply at Novri.

"Git, I'm good, I'll keep our relationship. Under no circumstances will I ever change my affection for you" Novri said, holding both hands.

"I didn't tell my mom and dad that I was going to propose to you after I graduated next year and they agreed" Novri continued. Hearing this, Gita's face changed and made her smile happily.

"You're serious, right? You're not playing games anymore, are you?" Gita seems to still not believe what she heard from Novri.

"Yes, Git, I'm really serious and I'm very committed to my decision* Novri said confidently.

"Ouch....! I forgot again!" Gita seemed to immediately remember something.

"I have to pick up my dad in the harbor, in half an hour until, well, Nov, I'm on my way now, bye" Gita hurriedly left. Because of his hunting, Gita nudged a waiter who was about to deliver food orders to one of the tables.

"Ouch... Mas! Take a look at dong! Don't know what, I'm in a hurry!" Gita scolded the waiter in front of her.

"Other brother who did not look around, so if the road was slow, look at this mess of everyone's orders" the waiter turned angry and glared. Seeing that, Novri immediately approached and broke up the two.

"Udah... Udah, mas, this let me change, sorry my boyfriend yah, mas" Novri helped clean up broken plates and glasses, and food scattered on the floor. Seeing that state, Gita just left.

"We are acting like that well, he is wrong, he is also angry and does not want to apologize anymore" said Novri, shaking his head.

After seeing what happened a few days ago in the restaurant, Novri slightly trusted what Marni had told him.

"Kok I became doubtful now, after seeing the incident at the restaurant at that time" said Novri. Novri took a moment off his mind and focused on the painting he was making.

"Mas Novri, someone wants to ask for help to be taught to paint" said a person standing in front of him. Novri raised his face.

"Eh... Marni, kirain who, who wants to be taught to paint?" Novri asked, looking for people who want to be taught to paint.

"This, mas, who wants to be taught to paint, his name is Haikal, he's a friend of my High School" Marni introduces Haikal to Novri.

"Your High School Friend? Then know Gita also dong?" Ask Novri to Marni.

"Not just know again, but, ever dating even the same Gita" said Haikal.

"If you may know, Novri mas what Gita yah? Kok can know Gita" asked Haikal who looked confused.

"I'm Gita's boyfriend and the plan anyway, want to step into the guarantee, but, I'm so hesitant to marry her" Novri looks worried.

"Mas, I don't want to vilify the Gita or anything, but, I'd better mas Novri think a thousand times if you want to marry Gita, he's always looking for trouble, my advice is to find another woman, I just don't want Novri mas regret having chosen Gita as Novri's wife" Haikal tried to warn Novri.

"Yes, mas, what Haikal said was true, I must know the Gita well, know his nature and personality, if after that, I was still convinced by my own decision, it depends on the Novri mas" Marni chimed in.

"Eh... Sorry, we're talking about Gita well, Haikal here will learn to paint, yuk, we start now" Novri prepares his painting equipment. Haikal followed well every stage Novri taught him. Starting from the basic stage to the final stage, draw an object in front of him, a flower pot.

"Okay, I think anyway, lesson we end here, next week's meeting, I want you to make a painting that depicts your character and I want to see the result next week" Novri assigned Haikal to make a painting.

"you already know all the stages, the ways like what, only the results that I want to see, do not have to be perfect, but, at least seen the results" continued Novri. Haikal.

"Yes, if so, I say yes, mas, thank you also willing to teach me to paint" Haikal said goodbye to Novri.

"Yes, Kal, I am happy to be able to help and share knowledge with others, hopefully what I teach can be useful for you later" Novri hoped. Haikal nodded, then left in front of Novri.
