Getting Closer

Friday afternoon in an office with three white floors. Alya slowly walked around every room per division to say goodbye, today is the last day of the internship, it has been two months Alya studied here, with the record of asking too much permission to travel and get sick. But let it be, which makes me often permission Ka Kevin, the responsibility of him is how my grades can be good. Shortly with words of goodbye, apology and thanks, the ritual of parting like any other normal apprentice goes well. Alya turned on her car engine, briefly heating it while adjusting the car's temperature cooler and tuning the music that would accompany her home.

A knock on the side door left him shocked

" Ka Keviin"

Alya lowered her car glass

" What's here?"

" It's still without a warm greeting"

" Chaa"

Alya slowly opened the door and exited

" When did you come?"

" Last noon, I came straight here, today is not the last day of the internship? I'd like to come along in case there's a celebration".

" I don't remember, Alya didn't say it was the last day"

" I forgot if I knew a lot about you, and the first one to bring you here was me, so I'm still obliged to take you home, hehehe"

" Well, this is coming home?"

" If I could go home, I would"

" Don't forget to pay when you get there"

" But in the chicil yeah"

" When?"

" Till we can sit in the mop"

Alya smiled

" No promise"

Alya walked around and now Kevin is in charge of carrying his car

" Where are you going, baby?"

" Where are you planning to stop by?"

" Nothing"

" Just go home"

" It's still five o'clock magrib is still a long time, we find meatballs first yu"

" Get it"

" Dear you know the place?"

" It's in front there you are".

The car stopped at Alya's direction. After ordering 2 bowls of meatballs and 2 iced oranges they occupied the benches facing each other at one table

" Have you ever eaten here?"

" Have you been last week?"

" Who's the same?"

" Himself"

" ooh"

" Why is that?"

" It's bad it hasn't diminished yet anyway, I'm just the nanya"

Alya cuek only and began to turn on his phone which since this morning was turned off because of the office, pretentious to be a real worker, let the totality of work at the end of the day he said. See a lot of incoming messages in his WhatsApp group.

Arga, Sylvia, Roni who commented, Alya just a glance, responsibility comments now, later at home

" What smiles read?"

" Sapp Group to, later reply"

" Yes, I'll have no friends if you're busy with your phone"

Alya put the phone back in her bag, the order came. They start enjoying the meatballs that Alya says taste good.

" Boy night's not chat anymore, is it?".

" Rarely ka, because friends also rarely start, maybe soy sauce also time yes all day ngantor, hehehe"

Alya, you don't understand me? not chat with your friends.

" If it's the same as the others?".

Alya glanced for a while then resumed eating.

Why not answer, I'm still waiting for the answer

" Alya want to go?"

" It's full already"

" When did you start going to college again?"

" Monday and would like a consultation whether you can directly take the thesis next semester"

" Has college eyes finished?"

" Already ka, just a value improvement, because there is still a value of C, hehehe"

" When it's up, it can usually go straight to the thesis"

" Hopefully, Alya is already impatient to wear toga, used to see the Pandu, yesterday saw ka Kevin, it's really cool that Alya wear kebaya and a bun creation, walk to the front of the podium, it's really cool, called in Alyana Putri Pratama, daughter of Mr. Rangga Pratama, graduated cumlaude, how did you?"

" It's cool, but sure graduated with cumlaude"

" Consider Alya*** yes?"

" It's not so dear, hehehe, just said there are some C values"

" It's while you're mended ka"

" Well, I'll be the photographer"

" Whahaha, what a fuck"

" The end is not yet so earlyatin so a companion, so his dream to become a photographer first, the important thing can be near you".

" Haha"

" Alya, did Afkar ever contact you again?"

Alya momentarily fell silent as if she was thinking

" Why is that?"

" It's natural that I know, I just want to clarify my status"

" Over this time our status is like that, we're still together too, what's the difference?"

" Alya, I'm serious, is he still calling you?"

Alya nodded

" Why didn't you tell me your relationship was over?"

" The relationship may be over, but our feelings don't know, do you?"

" Do you still love him?"

" It's still love him or it's the same you, Ka Kevin is the winner, isn't he?"

Alya sipped the last drink from her glass

" But you guys are still on the phone, it's Alya's lie"

" What does Kevin want? Alya has obeyed the will of Alya's parents, the will of kaka's parents, and also agreed to kaka's request so that we can establish this relationship, what else would Alya demand? just say, Alya can still accept any request"

" Alya, you've accepted me, and I don't want that half-and-half, there's no such thing as giving a body but saving a taste for another heart"

" You're demanding too much"

" You refuse too much".

" Okeee, what are you asking for?"

" Can you cut off communication with him?"

Alya bowed down, I had guessed you would eventually ask me this.

" So I can be sure you won't be in contact with her anymore, listen Alya we now have a bond, that night is the night of our engagement, you haven't forgotten haven't you?"

That's not your engagement, that's my binding. I don't know how much I'll be able to gather the words that are scattered and then tie them to a tree that I call sacrifice

" I no longer ask Alya, that's it, even if it's not okay, at least you already know what I want"

Alya played the spoon in her hand

" We can't be together for long, I'll be gone for a little while I'll come again, and it'll continue until you graduate and make sure your heart is full. Please assure me as long as we are not fully together now, that my faith is not in vain, that I keep faithful and demand that you do so"

" Alya could have said yes and wanted to do what I asked, but behind Alya could have still done it right?"

Kevin nodded

" Yes right, it's useless to force you if you don't want to do it"

" Let Alya decide for himself ka, do not order Alya, if Alya's own will will will will be easy later actually do it"

" Alya, I'm your lover, appreciate me, I can't free you in terms of feelings, let alone for her. One cannot take away the past from another, all of it, but for something that is not yet complete, please be hastened to end it, this is Alya's relationship, not an experiment"

" Order Alya for something else ka, but not this"

Kevin shakes.

" When?"

" Everyone has his time ka, I used to ask, when can I have Alya, has the time now?"

" Yes, but not like this"

" Don't be too greedy, too many you already have and have"

Kevin can only look at his lover who is too stubborn, your parents are right Alya, you are stubborn, although not yet in the category of opposition, the proof is that you are still willing and willing to accept the request of our parents. I need to create more patience.

The sky started to turn orange, I always liked it. I love twilight because the color it depicts in the landscape of the Dusk sky is always beautiful, even in a cloud cover though. Although the painting is not always the same, or even I look at it in a different room, but its beauty always amazes me. And this twilight I looked at her not alone, with her calling me her lover, surely we enjoyed this twilight with a different taste and story, let me with my wish, and she looked with her hope.

" It's sinking baby, we go home, the magrib will be missed"

Kevin took Alya's hand into the car, although this was not a beach or a mountain where dusk would look more graceful, but enough to make room for my soul to breathe again.

After the magrib prayer and shower they had dinner together, with the menu that Alya's family had provided, the occasional papah and Kevin talk about his new company, even the silly joke Tasya made one table laugh, he said, but there is a lack, where Alya's laughter is spontaneous and loud, where the style of speech is nyablak and arbitrary it stored, it looks Alya just throwing a smile, Alya, not the laughter that sometimes had to be closed by mama because it was too hard. Kevin really observed that, are you tired of Alya? isn't this your last day of internships, it's already off your runtinitas that you call ngantor.

Take Afkar's guitar and sit across from Kevin who has been staring at the moon and stars

" Ka, it's not bothering Alya to play here"

Kevin asks Alya to sit next to him

" Here baby, I haven't seen you play guitar in a long time, can a romantic song?"

" What song do you want?"

" What a hell"

" Alya search for it for a moment"

Alya opened her phone and started surfing looking for what songs she could play.

Kevin smiled after Alya sang a song

" When do you think you're going back to the hostel?"

" Tomorrow ka"

" Not the day after tomorrow, is it Saturday?"

" Alya wants to clean up first ka, so Monday can be fresh to campus"

" I'll take you tomorrow"

" Well, when will Kevin come back to Bandung?"

" Sunday afternoon, will you come?"

" When"

Kevin pinched Alya's nose

" No need, later after graduation come along, hehehe".

Alya put the guitar next to him and looked straight ahead

" Alya remembers that we climbed there"

He pointed at the tree in his yard

" Yes, you wear shorts, a t-shirt, go up to pick a guava while singing"

" It's so ugly, isn't it?"

" Yes"

Alya kicked Kevin's leg from the side

" I was ugly too?"

" Where does Alya remember"

" His father my fate dear, now not noticed, let alone first"

Alya just glanced

" Time has predestined us to meet, may destiny still allow us to be together. I am still waiting not only at the beginning but also at the ends of time, even in every direction. But I believe in the end of the wait"

" I'm sorry Alya can't promise you a ka"

" It's okay, as long as you're still willing to mean that everything will be fine, baby"

Alya just smiled

" Dear, as long as I'm gone, fine"

" Hmm, yes"

" I appreciate your honesty even though it will hurt and hurt me and make my chest tight. Even as now when my body is with you, but your memories and dreams are with him. Or the contents of your head are still full of it without leaving it for me"

" Don't think so, I don't know what Alya's thinking"

" I'm sorry I was so selfish with all my prejudices about you, and sometimes it makes me a little shaky, hopefully you can understand"

" It's ka, Alya does not want to be more depressed like this, you no longer need to think anything, what happened we already have Alya, it's done"

Alya looked down

Kevin held Alya's hand

" I'm sorry, but I really love you and always want to protect you to be comfortable and happy"

Alya nodded

" Ka, it's late, we should rest, tomorrow so escort Alya?"

" Yes, what time do you want?"

" It's up to you"

" What about ashar? let's still enjoy the twilight"

" Already in love with dusk?"

" Whatever you love I'll also learn to love him"

Kevin blinked one eye, Alya just laughed to see a Kevin who was tall, sturdy, handsome face mature with the charisma of the leader, can apply this kind of childishness when with him, but if in front of others, but if in front of others, really make himself king, huuh, you have a double personality or have you been blinded by your own feelings?

Yogya is never ending the beautiful story, let alone malioboro at night glitter lights, friendly greetings, exotic city layout, exotic, with the lights and looks of people who sit in the angkrinang stall. Take a leisurely walk and watch a group of people bring music using traditional musical instruments.

Alya and Kevin chose to enter an outdoor-themed tavern, there are already street buskers who perform live music there, roofed the sky with lights arranged so that it becomes instagramable. Ordering 2 servings of toast and 2 glasses of juice, they enjoyed the evening atmosphere this week both

" Dear, it's our first week's night"

" Heh, you mean ka?"

" Even though I often visit you at the Sunday night boarding house, but we have not had any status, indeed I have considered you a lover, but you have never considered, and since we were in Bandung yesterday, indeed from the first time I have considered you a lover, but never considered you, and since we were in Bandung yesterday, it feels like our relationship has gained legality, hahaha"

" Kaya Permit wants to set up a business"

" I'm so happy to be together this Sunday night with my girlfriend, my boyfriend"

" Don't start again ya ka"

Alya started to cut the toast off her plate and ate it

" Dear, for dong".

" It's got kaka there"

" Dear look at that"

Kevin pointed to one couple sitting not far from them, bribing

" I want to be treated like that too"

" I'm norak"

" Alyaa, that's a romantic name"

" Eat it yourself"

" Curvy"

Kevin cut his own bread in front of him, Alya saw him become a smile himself, really cute guy in front of me this

Alya gave a fork from her right hand that was already filled with toast and brought it closer to the mouth of Kevin whose position they were sitting next to, Kevin was gawking and confused

" Why bengong, don't you want to? yes already"

Alya intends to pull his hand again, and immediately caught Kevin

" What's not so good, continue, hehe"

Alya smiled and returned her fork to Kevin's mouth. Kevin accepted Alya's bribe very happily and his eyes could not be separated looking at Alya

" Thank you, my dear, again"

Alya belittles.

" Okay, eat it yourself"

Alya again cut the toast on her plate and bribed into her own mouth while glancing at Kevin who was still smiling flirtatiously

" Again dong".

Alya shook her head

" No"

Kevin was very anxious to see Alya's behavior, had wanted to pinch the cheek, but soon undone when he remembered this was the night of his first week with his new old lover, eh what does it mean anyway?

Kevin drew his face closer and landed a kiss on Alya's right cheek

" Good night my dear Sunday"

Alya was shocked and looked

" A, ka,,"

" why? want again?".

" Once again kaka kissed Alya bribe with a fork"

" Well, come on"

" Not to my mouth, but to Kevin's eyes"

Kevin even laughed while embracing Alya's shoulder

" It's scary, but not my dear KDRT"

Alya laughs at a lover what is this funny lover, want to kill?

Kevin even did it once again because his lover is too adorable in his eyes, and Alya did not do the threat, too dear if until this guy a little injury, Alya just kicked Kevin's leg and the more Kevin kicked the tighter he grabbed him

" No noise, this is a public place"

" Lepasin"

" Don't kick anymore, but if you want to kiss me as much"

Alya pushes Kevin's body but in vain, Kevin's energy is much greater, and Alya can only let his shoulder be embraced by Kevin tightly then weakened and finally with a friendly embrace. Before long the scenery changed, Kevin who fed Alya with his fork, while Alya finally collapsed as well, how not, if he refused a bribe, it will be replaced with one kiss, crazy guy.

Spend Sunday night accompanied by romantic songs from street buskers. Kevin did not even dare to imagine this he would be able to feel with Alya both, now, right said Alya all will have their own time.

Thank you my conqueror for tonight.
