Me, Afkar

Afkar glanced at his watch, another 5 minutes at 5 pm, meaning his shift that day was finished, the broom and mop cloth that had been with him since 8 this morning, walk slowly towards the back room of the employee, passing security employees who will check their bodies whether to bring tools from inside the mall. Afkar raised his hand and his body began to be checked by a special security. Afkar is welcome to pass through the checkpoint and enter the male employees' special room. Unlock his private locker and change his work clothes with his free clothes. A short-sleeved shirt with light blue and jeans. Next to him was Fendi, his professional friend who was also changing his clothes, Fendi was Afkar's best friend since they both applied at this Mall, and was accepted at the same time, he said, sometimes they take the time to talk before going home in this locker room, because when working they will not have free time, it happens that today they are in the same shift.

" Go straight home, Af?"

" Yes"

" Where to go tonight, last year's night"

" I want to make sure someone tonight, hopefully he wants to"

" New boyfriend? It's good to have a handsome face, can quickly dapetin his successor" said Fendi laughed

" It's not Fend's girlfriend, it's just pedekate, hehehe"

" Did you make a pact to take him?"

" Not Fend, I don't have a phone number?"

Fendi raised his eyebrows

" Where pedekate, no telf just don't have"

" Nearly two months ago I met him, eehhm I'm the one to his boarding house he brought breakfast because he was sick, at first I all want to ask for his phone number, but qa' delicious, good, what if he objected"

" You said you want to pedekate, but want to go forward just not dare, how the hell"

" At that time I had no intention of anything Fend, I went there because I wanted to look at him because of illness, and I think as a friend there was no harm in asking for his phone number, I asked him, but suddenly I felt bad, so I went straight home"

Fendi nodded

" How are you planning tonight? want to nyamperin him that?"

" Yes, I'll be there"

Fendi patted Afkar's shoulder

" Good luck on the peditekanya, hehehe"

Afkar laughed

" What are you doing tonight, the road?"

" Yes, I made a deal a month ago"

" Huh, well prepared, yes Fend, hahahaha"

They also stepped out of the dressing room to the parking lot, occasionally greeting each other with other employees even though not the same division. Although Afkar is only an OB, but his handsome face does not show that at all when he wears free clothes. The cool Afkar will still smile sweetly when meeting anyone and greeting those he knows.

The streets have begun to be crowded, jammed, even though it is only 8 pm, there are those who ride motorcycles with couples, families, there are those who ride cars with family, the sound of trumpets starts to sound even though it is not too crowded. Afkar was among the noisy atmosphere, occasionally he had to slow down the speed of his motorbike because he had to give through the streets some security officers who tonight will be on extra tight duty to secure the road and prevent commotion, especially in the vulnerable points of downtown. Afkar rides his bike with confidence. After returning home from work, he convinced himself to move on to get closer to Alya. His tall body was covered in a pale white shirt and black jeans. Afkar also brought a spare helmet so that later when walking with Alya they still maintain their obligations as a rule-abiding rider.

Arriving at Alya's boarding house, Afkar turned off the engine. With a certain step he approached the half-opened door. Slowly knocked on the door because Afkar saw there was Mba Cici one of the hostess residents was sitting in the living room with his friend.

" Ashloraikum"

" Greetings waalaikum"

While looking at Afkar

" O Afkar, please come in"

" Yes, I'll see you, same,,,,"

Not yet Afkar mention the name Alya, Mba Cici has shouted at the end of the stairs

" Yanti, there's a guest, there's, uh,,,"

" Who?"

" aturman".

Deg, Afkar's heart is beating, I'm looking for Alya. But Afkar seemed to be no longer able to talk, he was confused to have to rectify the words of Mba Cici, indeed Mba Cici knew that Afkar was Yanti's friend, and indeed no one would know Afkar there looking for Alya. And really this is something that Afkar did not predict from the beginning, he forgot that the hostess here knew that he was Yanti's friend, not Alya, no,,

For a moment Afkar was washed away in his daydream, the tail of his eyes catching the figure of Yanti already standing before him

" Hey Afkar, it's been a long time to play here, sit down yuk"

" Where is Af?"

" From my friend's house, you come by here, how are you Yan?"

" I'm good, you??"

" I'm good too".

Afkar heard footsteps running from the stairs, the tiny body of the woman he was looking for was standing nearby and blindly opened the fridge, heyy he saw me "Hey there's an Afkar" he greeted me.

" Yes Al, how are you?"

" Good ka"

Afkar smiled with happiness, really happy to see Alya tonight. It's been almost 2 months he hasn't seen her, only for unreasonable reasons, I have no reason to see her, Afkaaaarrr.

Waaahh, this little one closed the fridge door and sat in front of me, his relaxed style tensing me up like this, I wanted to greet him, but what greeting I deserve to say yes, yes, did I offer you this evening to be willing to go with me, ah no, too silly, or have you healed? the more ridiculous, it's been 2 months, what chronic pain he has until has not healed for 2 months. Getting stale first maybe so he's not surprised to take me for a walk

" New Year's Eve qa out Al?"

Hope this trick works

Why did Alya shut up, did he have an appointment? or is he going with Arga? if he goes with Arga I'm still at the safe point, at least Alya is not with another man.

" After waiting for her invitation Af, want to go around the city he said"

Yanti, I why feel so weak, I want to feel like I did not hear this news, but why is this little one still not answering? I hope Yanti was joking.

" Ashloraikum"

" Greetings Waalaikum"

Who's the gondrong guy that I as a man just praised his appearance. It was obvious that he was no ordinary man, his clothes, his style, his looks.

" Are you ready Al? leave yuk"

Alya made a deal with him? Afkar weakened his soul.

Afkar looked at Alya, Alya looked at him

Al, tell me this is a joke, it's not real right? I'm here to take you for a walk, not to see you on a walk. And this isn't Arga, is this your real boyfriend after 2 months I don't know at all about you anymore? Alya, you open your lips, you want to talk, talk Al, I'm waiting for you. Alyaa,,,

This monologue is only done in the mind of Afkar, huuuh.

Alya, why are you getting deeper in your silence, I'm bothering you? sorry Al, I'm sorry I was overconfident and I was hoping for you

" If you want to go, please Al"

Heh, why is this my mouth, why am I letting it go instead? why don't I hold him? shouldn't you answer my heart's questions first? oohh, sorry, I'm just talking to my heart, you won't hear Al.

Alya,, where are you going? The girl got up from her seat, and stepped off to go upstairs, Afkar could only keep quiet, occasionally his gaze looked at the door and looked at the man who had picked up Alya.

Bodoooh, why can I want to approach Alya, see him, a handsome man, classy, even his clothes were branded like those on display at the store where I work that only I can see, he said, the phone he holds, it's the latest phone on display in one of the halls where I work, the price is the same as my salary of 1 year. It's my rival, to stand beside him I'm not sure, let alone to compete.

" Uh there's Afkar, we'll excuse you"

Sylvia's greeting shocked Afkar's daydream.

Alya passed in front of me without turning her head, Alyaaa, I want to see your face before you leave, Alyaaaa. Why are you looking at my bike, you want to compare my bike to your red car?? No Al, don't keep me down, I'm already feeling very defeated, I'm sorry I was expecting to be close to you, really I don't want to try to compete with Al, it's my fault, I don't know.

" Yan, I'm sorry, the road is soon jammed, I could go home next year". Yanti laughed and nodded

" Beware on the road, Af, there is a time often stop by here, even if you are not my best friend's lover anymore, but we are still friends".

Afkar nodded

" Thank you Yan'.

Afkar stepped into the front parking lot of the boarding terrace. Suddenly he realized, Alya was looking at my bike, maybe he was not insulting me, did he think I would spend the night with others by looking at 2 helmets stuck on my bike? Aaahh, Afkar sighed.

Maybe next time I need to also not be too obedient with order, it's okay not to wear a helmet on this special night, so that Alya does not think about me.

Wait, how could he think of me, he just picked up his girlfriend, where might he think of me. As he drove his bike home, Afkar kept daydreaming, I really did not know myself, did not measure who I was, not when I first met Alya I had been told to read. Right Al, it seems like I have to replace the glass in my room with a bigger glass, so that I can see bigger, more, closer, more less, as who I am!!!
