ARINDAS

Arinda's Request

Afternoon in the clear sky. Arinda came home early. He decided to stop at several places in Gudeg City.

Using public transportation rickshaw motor or commonly called bentor, to the market is quite famous. A place that almost never leaves visitors.

Arriving at the destination. Arinda got down and started swinging her steps cheerfully. Eyes also explore with sparkling. Stopped at some places. Then, buy something as a souvenir for Mbak Dini and the cheriwis Febi.

Considering both of them adds more longing. If you haven't met it feels like there is less. Although, almost every morning for a month, they always video call. The time changed due to the busyness of Arinda who always comes home at night.

Walk slowly with a few bags of groceries. Arinda went on a journey to eat gudeg. It does not feel complete if you go to this Student City if you have not enjoyed this special food.

The time has shown seven o'clock in the evening. Along the way there is a place to eat lesehan.

Arinda chose one place and sat down to blend in with the other visitors. Delicious taste with the right portion. The rice gudeg quickly.

Then, Arinda continued the journey back around on foot. The girl went looking for an angkringan place with the famous coffee joss.

Breathe the aroma of coffee and smile. Then, sip it bit by bit.

After being satisfied to go around and culinary tour. Arinda decided to go home.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Arinda arrived home. Get in the bathroom, take a shower, and drop off all the suitcases on top of the closet. Putting all clothes together with massage. Then, put it in neatly.

Beres!

Putting the body on the bed. Staring at the ceiling of the room with beautiful and classy carvings.

An hour later

Tired of being in the room. Arinda decided to head out to the park in front of the house. Sitting on a wooden chair with her arms crossed and looking straight ahead expressionlessly.

The ringing of the phone shocked Arinda. He reached into the bag of pants and pulled out the flat object. Then, scroll the green button up.

“Halo, Early Brother!”

“Rin, you're home tomorrow?”

“Iya.”

“How long until Jakarta? Picked up, huh?”

“No need, Ma'am. I'll be back by taxi.”

“But, Mbak misses you.”

“Iya, I miss too. Tomorrow afternoon I go to the house of Mbak Dini.”

“Ya, already. Now, you rest, gih. Ma'am wait at home tomorrow.”

“Yes, my son-hearted Mother.”

“Do not praise! Just say ask for a catfish stout, right?”

“Do not slander me, Ma'am. The sins! But, if Mbak Dini maksa, yes, I can what.”

They both laughed.

“Ya, already. Tomorrow I will be home for half a day. Be careful on the road. Okay!”

“Oke.”

Phone disconnected. Arinda put her phone back in her pants pocket.

“I'll drive tomorrow to home. No need to take a taxi.”

Suddenly, Ricko came and sat down in front of Arinda. Staring at him while smiling. The man had been standing behind the beautiful woman ever since he received the phone call.

Arinda stays in her silent mode. Lazy to meet, he chose to move.

Ricko quickly prevented. He sat down in front of Arinda. Then, put the head on the lap of the girl.

“I'm sorry. Arinda, please .. don't silence me. Speak.”

The girl flinched.

“Maki me, slap, hit, or whatever you like. But, don't shut up. I missed you.”

Silent!

Ricko put both his hands on Arinda's waist.

“I'm wrong. Punish me. And ... go back to the old Arinda.”

“Then? Likewhat? In fact, I hate my past self,” said Arinda flatly.

Ricko smiled bitterly. “I'm sorry. I hurt you often. But, I have the reason.”

“The reason you hate me. This cheap lady always bothers. In fact, it ruined your life to numbness. I'm a bad woman.”

On Arinda's lap, Ricko shook his head. “No. I lie. You're not a bad girl what's cheap. You're a precious woman.”

Arinda breathed a tired sigh. “Why?”

“What?”

“Why did you suddenly change well?”

“I ...”

“Already, I don't want to hear it.”

“Rin ...”

“Sorry, I want to sleep.”

Ricko shakes. “I'm sorry.”

“After I forgive, you will stand?”

“Say first?”

Arinda raised Ricko's head. Put both hands on the man's cheeks. Staring at the dense netra that looks sad.

“You've always been selfish. I always give up. Should I keep that according.”

“Rin, i ..”

“You know? I wish very much to you. Love, happiness, even marriage. Stupid, no! This girl is so pathetic. But, I'm sober. You're too far away for me to reach. I gave up until here!”

Ricko is back. “Rin, please ...”

“From now on, find your love and happiness. I promise I will no longer disturb.”

“Arinda ...”

“Rick, I want to give you something. Awake first. I'm not going.”

Ricko according. He got up and sat in his chair.

Arinda opened the necklace around her neck. Pull and hang it in the hand right in the middle between their blinds.

“You still remember this?”

Ricko silently did not answer. The feeling is starting to get bad. He knew very well that the ring and necklace were gifts from him.

Ricko looked at Arinda with an indecipherable highlight. He also intends to be silent do not want to interrupt the girl's speech.

“This necklace you gave when we were just officially dating. I don't think you'd give it to me if this stupid girl refuses. But, unfortunately the woman in front of you accepted. So, I can have it.”

Ricko's getting mute.

“You know? I was happy then. I feel special. Cheap women and this matre straight up degree.”

Ricko's lips are already shaking. But he still held it.

“Dan ... This beautiful ring you give by including a promise.” Arinda. His lips were suddenly confused. However, he continued it quietly, “you said later will put another ring on my ring finger right.”

Silent!

Ricko lowered his head. Can't seem to keep staring at the girl he loves with memories of the past. Moreover, his lips once made a promise.

“Rick, look at me.” Arinda raised Ricko's chin to look him in the eye. Then, the girl showed her right hand and pointed at her ring finger. “Today is waiting for someone's promise to fulfill it.”

“Arinda, i ..”

Arinda. “Don't say anything, I can't hear it. You don't have to worry. I won't charge that promise.”

Ricko shakes. “Rin ...”

“I deliberately draped it so as not to be lost or stolen by people. Also .. so that I always remember you. But ...”

Ricko immediately pulled Arinda and carried the body onto his lap. Then, hug the tiny body. “Quite ... already ... don't say anything more. I beg. I can't hear it.”

The embrace is getting tighter. Arinda replied and cried.

The moon up there is a witness. If the two do not really want to separate. Millions of stars were scattered to testify. In fact, frogs, geckos, and ants are lined up. They volunteered to be given the right to speak and testify. On top of the big tree, the rancid demons and dumb demons did not want to lose to participate.

However, what power. The pair of human children still have to succumb to the situation.

Throne and treasure are in Ricko's grasp. Just get Arinda back.

Twenty minutes both hugged. Spilling each other's longings.

“Rick,” sound Arinda slim.

“I don't want to hear anything else.”

“Rick, let go of your hug briefly.”

Ricko shakes. “No.”

“Rick, please make everything easy.”

Ricko let go of his embrace. However, he did not take his hands off Arinda's waist.

“Arinda ...”

“Rick, enough. Listen to me.”

“Do not say it.”

Arinda was silent for a moment. “Take this. Honestly, I want to keep that. But, I don't deserve to have it.”

“Arinda ...”

“I also couldn't afford to throw it away. So, it would be better if both of these objects go back to their owners, right?”

Ricko shakes. “It's yours and forever it will be.”

“Our relationship is over. I'm gonna get away from you. But ...”

“Rin, already. I'm sorry. This jerk guy always hurts you.”

“Can listen to me. This time only. Let me talk until it's done.”

Ricko's lips twitched. “Sorry.”

“Give me a few more months to keep working at Narendra. I need money to get on with my life. My savings are drained for college. So, let me collect the rupiah again. After that, I promise I will disappear from your life.”

“I'll give you a lot of money and everything. But, don't leave me.”

“I don't want your money. And, don't ever think of doing it or I'll get mad.”

“Do not go.”

“Why can't I go?”

“Besabarlah. In time later, I will explain.”

“No. I need that explanation now or not at all. And, right now also tell me your feelings.”

Ricko shakes. “I can't say.”

“Then let me go.”

“Rin ...”

“I'm a woman, Rick. I need certainty. Don't hang my love.”

Ricko speechless. “Sorry.”

Arinda grabbed Ricko's hand. Then, put the ring and necklace on her cold palm.

Ricko shakes. “Rin ...”

“Do not refuse. After that, you can throw it away.”

“I ...”

“Rick, I have one more request.”

“Enough, Rin.”

“I haven't said it.”

“OK, say. But, I won't promise to follow.”

“Tonight was the last time we were together. Can I kiss you?”

Ricko is shocked and gaping at Arinda's request. “SHIT!”

Ricko just grabbed the pink lips first. Squeeze his embrace. Lose down his favorite chewy thing mercilessly.

Arinda replied to the same.

Let tonight be the best memory for them.

And ....

Suddenly all the witnesses dispersed. Because, it is not strong to see semi-vulgar scenes.

The moon and millions of stars are hiding behind the clouds. Frogs, geckos, and ants retreat. The rancid demon and the dimwitted demon ran away and flew and disappeared. According to the two invisible creatures, the behavior of a pair of lovebirds who have become former is very immoral. Because, do it in front of the witnesses.

A kiss of romance is like a burning fire. The hot!
