Dalilahs.
My first love scandal made Ayahanda angry. My father asked me to make a choice that I might regret later when I chose to leave home.
I prefer to go away from Revi mas so that I do not need to see his activities, his association, and anyone who approaches him.
It makes me calmer. Same with Revi. He does not need to sport the heart if he has to meet my family, he also does not have to bother learning Javanese, Beksan and life printouts about a Ningrat like me.
I want her to be free to make her life choices without leaning on me who can't make any promises to her.
Promise of happiness and blessing from Ayahanda!
"Lil sisters!"
I cleared my throat and kept packing my luggage that I was going to bring to Australia.
Some suitcases of winter clothes have been sent there. For a few days I just buy time to enjoy the atmosphere of school and home.
"Wait for Revi in front!" Suryawijaya.
I widen my eyes. It was too hard to see him when I was rushing to get away from him.
"Him alone or his equal?" ask me while looking at it for a moment.
"No! With her parents."
My eyes immediately narrowed. "Is Mother and Father?"
"There! Outside also there are his parents Revi mas."
I sighed, my chest was very tight and roasted.
Why is it so hard to meet him when I am determined to give him the opportunity to get along with others, open his horizons and give others the opportunity to get acquainted and make friends with him.
"Mbak males! You're the one who met Revi!" my lie, when I'm just not ready to cry anymore. Giving up is not as easy as words and I cannot lie to myself if I am sincere with my own decisions.
"Who's the boyfriend!" he nodded while coldly snorting.
I sat on the edge of the bed, then I saw a pile of cardboard shoes, dolls, frangipani bonsai, hairpins, and all the Revi mas giving me on my desk.
"If calculated, about how many millions have been given to Revi to Mbak, Sur?" I asked while looking back at the ceiling of the room.
I looked up, I guessed, but no matter how many millions Revi gave me, I was determined to leave.
"He never counted the money he gave you, Lil sister! Come out, meet him!" Suryawijaya pulled both my hands. My body was erect but I was limp.
"Should ya? I used to be dating can't! The turn now Mbak wants to go long and even detained!" I sizzled and tied my hair high.
"Coz you are a little rebellion princess!"
I groan. "Should be proud to have an all-rounder! Can dance, can fight, can be anything! As for you, fighting is just the same Pandu. Not level!" I sneered while chuckling.
"Wash your face, change your clothes! This is not how you say goodbye to someone."
Suryawijaya's voice was soft, her face serious, without any sign of teasing or ridiculing me.
"All right!" I threw him out of the room before I drowned again in the emotional rage that struck my heart.
***
No one asked like this. But the more mature the choices are like a path that leads me to a reality and a hope. And I believe there is hope at every intersection.
I smiled and bowed respectfully to my special guest.
"Holy Om, Auntie..." I smiled when Revi saw me fixedly. "Just like Revi!"
"Siang princesses... An hour of waiting but not in vain! You're beautiful." praise mommy Jasmine.
I clenched my hands and smiled sweetly. "Maacih Aunty." I answered and sat next to Ayahanda.
I faintly saw the corner of the Revi mas curling a smile with a hand that rubbed his knee.
Your smile is my candle.
The jokes won't be there later, don't miss!
"Since the girl has come, may we take her away to the king's majesty?" mommy Jasmine's permission to Father.
I turned my head to look at Ayahanda. Ayahanda let out a heavy sigh, her hand gripping my shoulder.
"Not more than the hour I set!" Ayahanda glanced at me at a glance then raised her chin. Looks haughty lately.
Revi's parents nodded while moving on. "Sendiko dhawuh!"
They clenched their hands together before patting the silent Revi mas shoulder, daydreaming.
"Revs! Rev!"
I turned towards Ayahanda as my guest was busy waking the Revi mas from his expedition.
"Where are you going, Ayahanda?" my many.
"Go with them! Don't make trouble!" tell Father, deep, with eyes that see me sharp.
I shakes unwillingly. I'm too naive to have fun with my girlfriend's family. While I've hurt Revi's mas with my departure.
"Go!"
I exhaled and got out of my seat to follow the steps and journey that led me to a restaurant in the middle of the city. Inside a mall.
I was quiet, the restaurant was quiet. There is only one dining table in the middle of the restaurant with a full white rose in the middle of the table.
I stared at the astonishment of the two Revi parents who nodded at each other.
"We went first to buy household necessities, Princess, Rev! Don't wait for us, 'cause mommy and daddy want to watch too!"
Watching cinema?
I was silent when both of Revi's parents left. For some reason, I actually mute at the end of my meeting with mas Revi.
"Go on."
My attention turned to Revi. He was like me, without many words.
Mas Revi reached out, unraveling both of my conscious hands in a tangle as nervousness crept up in my mind.
I stared at our hands holding each other. The warm feeling he channeled, made me smile thinly.
"Sit down." he said softly without emotion.
Slowly Revi let go of my hand, leaving a void where he touched me earlier.
I glanced at him, pulling the chair for me to sit on.
"I often lose you at school, so do you want to have lunch together?" he exclaimed with a smile that he forced curved on his face.
I nodded while returning his smile. I don't even want to talk about what happened at school.
"I have five hours with you today, so what do you want? Go for a walk, shop, or wherever you want, I'm willing to accompany you!" mas Revi semringah.
My father gave me five hours to be with Revi. Ckckck, that's really only five hours! It doesn't feel enough to kill the homesickness of the next months.
"Let's go see the movie!"
Mas Revi smiled and nodded.
I held her hand, stuck to the street, enjoyed the scenery, enjoyed the ice cream, and spent five hours together.
Although there are not many words today that I can say. I just wish time could stop, hoping that these two moments like this, never end.
But the truth is, tomorrow morning I have to get out of here. Leaving behind a crazy delusion if he was beside me.
