AMEERA'S LOVE STORY

PART 10'S

Time has shown at 2 am, but my eyes still can not be closed. I haven't even changed the clothes I was wearing this afternoon for a picnic with Heru's family. My mind is still staring back at the events I experienced today.

Starting when I walk down the beautiful waterfall with Heru, “Heru, why don't you try to straighten out this misunderstanding?” I asked Heru at the time.

Heru looked at me confusedly, “which misunderstanding is Ra?”

“Misunderstanding your mother with your sister, when they thought I was your future wife” answered me

Heru seems to return his focus to the road we are going through, “they do not misunderstand Ra, you are indeed my future wife.”

I looked at him confused. Curse his hands to look at me and stop our steps, “you do not care so Heru, when did you shoot me? Say love aja engga, time has become a prospective wife aja.”

I saw him smiling in response to my chatter, “I am not an older brother who has to express love dramatically while giving flowers or Ra's ring. Adults don't do things like that anymore. Love is not to be expressed, just you feel the feeling of love me.”

I paused for a moment, trying to digest everything he had just said. I can't understand his way of thinking at all. All I know in a relationship there must be agreement between both parties. He should not be willing to introduce me to his family that I am his future wife while he had not previously asked for my approval of our relationship status.

“Kok you got? Don't think too much, let's go again.” Take Heru while taking my hand into his grasp. As if hypnotized, I followed Heru's footsteps without trying to resist him in the slightest

We walked side by side holding hands like lovers. I still don't understand the direction of our relationship. For Heru, I am his future wife whom he has even introduced to his family. But what about me? I have Umar beside me. In my heart I convinced myself that I wasn't having an affair. I don't have a serious relationship with Heru. As for Heru's feelings, let it be his own business.

“You got them Ra?” ask Heru

“Mmmhh .., gapapa kok I Just chilled” replied I origin

Heru seemed to stop his steps. He took off his hand to remove the jacket he was wearing. Then with full attention he covered my shoulders with his jacket, “kamu anyway to mount gini pake gini short clothes, wear skirts anyway.”

Suddenly there was a strange debate when Heru put his jacket on me. I've never been this close to a man. I could even feel his breath on my face. The smell of masculine perfume that pierced my sense of smell made my heart beat faster.

For a few seconds we stared at each other. Then slowly Heru brought his face closer to me. Instead of dodging, I closed my eyes. I felt the touch of Heru's lips on mine. Not a long kiss, but just a short kiss. Suddenly, I felt an electric current in my body. I looked at him for a moment and then threw away my face.

“It's a birthday gift for you.” he said specially with his ignorant smile.

I covered my face with a pillow. Shame I think when I recall that incident. For the first time a man kissed me. But the more I remember it, the faster this heart beats. I touch my lips for the umpteenth time, I can still feel Heru's lips that were stuck there.

‘Gosh, because of Heru I can't sleep gini.’ I turned left and right. I tried to close my eyes hoping the drowsiness would come soon, but nil, I still could not fall asleep.

I blinked when I realized someone was knocking on my door and calling my name. I sharpened my sense of hearing, apparently it was Nita's voice. My forehead which feels so dizzy. I don't know what time I fell asleep last night.

I woke up to open the door, “what the hell is Nit, early in the morning has made a fuss,” I found Nita behind the door is neat and wearing a work uniform.

“I'm so dizzy Nit, earlier Malem couldn't sleep. Wait a moment well I want to wash my face first”

“You don't want to shower first Ra?”

“Too wait for me to shower, we can be late later. I'm waiting there on the terrace, in five minutes I'm done kok.”

Nita walked towards the terrace while continuing to grumble. I rushed to the bathroom and then went back to my room to get ready for work. And as expected, five minutes later I've followed Nita to the terrace.

“Depart yuk,” take me to Nita who directly got approval from her.

On the way to the factory, I kept massaging my head which was getting dizzy. I really want to turn towards my boarding house to continue my sleep if I don't remember my responsibilities at work.

Seeing me who is not fit today, Nita looks worried, “you are all right Ra? Looks like you are not well.”

“Semalem I can't sleep Nit, so now my head is so dizzy”

“Do you want to go home again? Later let me tell you permission to your supervisor”

“No need Nit, anyways supervisor I want to accept the reason not to enter because of lack of sleep. Which is fitting later entered I got angry” answered I'm sure.

“Oiya Ra, where have you been?” tanyanya switched topics.

I didn't answer Nita's question. I was wondering if I should be honest with Nita that yesterday I went on a picnic with Heru's family or not.

“I go the same way Heru” I answer honestly

Nita seemed surprised to hear my answer, “you don't be surprised so dong Nit, I don't go alone with Heru, I don't go alone with Heru, I went on a picnic with his family and also kok” somehow the additional answers from me even more added to his surprise.

“You never changed well Ra,” looks disappointment in the face of Nita at this time, “tega-ego you have betrayed Umar who is already very good with you.” he added.

I don't understand the direction of Nita's talk, “you mean betray what Nit? I did not betray Umar. Then I went with Heru because Umar also. He even went home to his parents when I was birthday, I'll bete alone in kostan.”

“You do not need to find justification for your own mistakes Ra,” he replied, “actually Umar did not really come home to his parents, he deliberately wanted to make a surprise for you. He came to your boarding house yesterday morning. He's waiting for you there until the afternoon Ra.” Its effects.

I was surprised to hear what Nita just said, “do you know where Umar waited for me Nit from? Did you leave early this morning? Trus if it's Umar dateng, why he didn't call me just because I know I don't exist, most not he know me where.” ask me Nita.

“From Great,” he replied, “Umar did not call you because you think you only buy seblak in your subscription shop, so he awaits you.”

I thought for a moment, digesting everything Nita said. I feel guilty. Yesterday Umar must have been very disappointed, while I even had fun with Heru. I remembered that since yesterday, no messages came from Umar. And usually he never forgets to send me a message, even if it is just a reminder to eat or say good morning. Suddenly there was a feeling of worry for Umar. I want to go home to the hostel and then I'll call Umar asking him how he's doing.
