Be aground

Said them

Vienna is back on its second schedule, five o'clock in the afternoon. He's not alone, but with Maktuo and Beni's brother. There is a little bit of a sense of wonder, why Brother Beni is also coming. But looking at Vienna and Beni's performance this afternoon, it looks like they're going on a date.

Viennese looks beautiful wrapped oversized mauve colored t-shirt paired with black skinny jeans, long black hair wavy left unraveled. Her face is polished natural thin makeup, nude color lipstick, matching the color of her dress.

Meanwhile, Beni's look also looks no less neat, wearing a white polo shirt and khaki chino pants. Her hair that intersects undercut is neatly arranged with the help of pomade.

"Assalamualaikum, Aunt. Sorry Vienna bring a friend. This is Beni's sister" Vienna introduced Beni's brother as they approached.

Brother Beni greeted me who was closest to him, then switched to shaking mother's hand with respect. I welcome Brother Beni's hand with a warm smile.

"Oh, it's okay. Vienna's girlfriend, huh?" shoot mom with a seductive tone. His pale face began to look blustery.

"Ih, not Auntie. He asked for a dicomblangin instead, so he just menggemodus want a Vienna treaty," kekeh my cousin.

"Why not Vienna alone, Vienna is still single." Back mom chuckles at Vienna and brother Beni.

"Beni's sister type is not a Vienna kayak, Aunty," replied Vienna chuckled at the mother's words.

Fortunately, the Viennese type of girl is cute, so she responded with a relaxed style of mother's proposal, which for some people seems to be ninyinyir.

"Eh, Beni sat down first," the reprimand maktuo shifted the chair towards Beni's brother who was smiling amusedly watching the mother teasing Vienna.

"Yes, Aunt. Thank you," said Beni take and sit on a chair proffered by maktuo.

"Wina asked Runa to do it, Auntie? Someone wants to buy a watch." Vienna sat on the edge of mother's bed.

"Eh, I want to wait for you, Win. You're the same way Beni," refused me, feeling shy because not too familiar with Beni's brother, afraid to be mistaken for aji mumpung use his tract.

"It's okay, Run. Let's roll," added Beni.

"Runa went with Vienna. Let me be the same maktuo," said the mother agreed to Vienna's request.

"Yes, Run. You haven't been to Jakarta in a long time" Vienna asked.

"Other times, Win." I'm still trying to reject Vienna's call. How can I calm my feelings go to have fun, while my mother is weak in the hospital.

*****

Persuade Vienna finally can not be cut off. After the magrib prayer, we left the hospital. Vienna told me to sit in the front passenger seat, next to Beni's sister.

"I'm going to sleep, stuck. You accompany brother Beni just chat, yes," asked Vienna to propose the reason.

I was forced to sit on the front passenger seat. Sitting awkwardly next to someone I just met.

"Sorry, Run. This seat belt is a bit stuck," said Brother Beni when I want to put a seat belt.

Beni's sister reached out to the seat belt strap that was still hanging in place. Attract and pair on the link.

The gentle blend of cedar and bergamot aroma from Kak Beni's perfume dropped by on the sense of smell, as his hands passed through my face. The perfume that Beni's sister wears smells almost the same as Arjun's perfume.

Inevitably, my mind seemed to be dragged to remember the figure of Arjun. Actually, I was hoping I could spend tonight with Arjun, not with another guy like this. However, circumstances forced me to accept.

Awkward, that's how I felt on the way. Starting a conversation with someone new is not my specialty. Moreover, I do not know brother Beni, except only on a brief introduction this morning.

"What college did you study at, Run?" sis Beni asked starting the conversation, after fifteen minutes we were silent.

"Accounting, sister," I said briefly, shocked to get a sudden question.

"Well, great. I was the worst of that one subject," he glimpsed at me, then the eagle's eyes turned back to the streets.

"Ha-ha is normal, because I am not too interested in calculating the physics formula, can curl my brain," said I try to start to be relaxed.

Along the way, we only engaged in small talk about everyday life. Brother Beni can quite melt the atmosphere. His light jokes were able to make my mind that had felt like a tangled thread get sidetracked for a moment.

"We ate first just watched, yes, " said brother Beni when the car entered the basement parking area of a mall.

"As far as the treaty is concerned, let's follow it," sambar Vienna from the back bench.

"Eh, are you awake, Win?" brother Beni looks shocked to hear the sudden sound of Vienna.

"Have, the eve-hawa mall made fresh," said Vienna demonstrating the style of people who are breathing fresh air.

"Too much style, ah," kekeh Beni.

Entering the mall area, various appetizing cooking scents disturbed the sense of smell, making my brain send a rumbling signal to the stomach. I just realized, from this afternoon I was not so tasteful to eat. The full mind, and the taste of the food provided by the hospital, was bland on the tongue, making me even more appetizing to eat.

"You want to eat sushi, don't you?" sis Beni asked paused for a moment, asking for our approval.

"Anything can be sis, as long as it is good to eat," said Vienna with a wide grin.

"Runa?" it was as if waiting for an answer from me.

"I follow you, brother."

"But no problem, right?"

"No, I am an all-eater" I said.

Beni's sister chuckled at the answer from me. Once again Vienna is right, the mind that was once completely full and tangled, gradually begins to unravel. The pessimism from yesterday that I was unable to expel, began to evaporate.

We must first fill our own happiness tank before we can transmit happiness to others.

After watching and surrounding the mall area, we were escorted by Beni to go home. Back I grounded Vienna to accompany brother Beni chat during the trip, still with the same reason, which is to continue the sleep that was disturbed. Wonder why the child was never satisfied to sleep.

"Tomorrow to see your mother again in the hospital?" ask Beni when we are almost there.

"He's my brother, it's my intention to go to Jakarta to see my mother."

"Oh, yes-yes," said the mangosteen.

The rest of the trip, Beni did not ask too many more questions. Maybe I'm running out of conversation or I'm getting tired, I don't know.

"Yes, see you later" said Beni.

Brother Beni passed by leaving us who were still standing in front of the fence. Vienna immediately locked the fence when brother Beni's car had moved away and overtaken me who was already sitting on the seat on the veranda.

***

While waiting for Vienna to clean up, I jokingly wrote a message to Arjun. I can't deny, there is a sense of longing that quietly slipped in the deepest corner of my heart at the guy who owns the knotty smile.

23.00: [Well asleep?] ask me to start a conversation.

The sign on the message instantly turns blue, and Arjun's status is visible as 'typing'.

23.00: [No. Riko just got home] she replied.

23.00: [Lho, instead of going to Riko's boarding house?]

23.00: [Can I call? Disturbing you?] tanyanya did not answer my question.

23.01: [Can] I reply quickly, because I do want to hear Arjun's voice.

Before long, my phone vibrates, and Arjun's face fills the screen.

"Hello," greet me after the button receives the call I shifted.

"Kangen," she replied briefly.

"Ha-ha, just split up a day." I blushed to hear Arjun's confession.

Silent.

"Jun, why?" I asked because I didn't hear an answer from him.

"Ha-ha, no. Where were you going?"

"It's just the mall. It was in the same agreement with the Viennese upperclassmen at High School. What is Pdkt Riko?"

"Eh, it turns out that Riko's crush is Leon," he said sounding excited about the story.

My memory instantly conjures up a tomboyish chick with her wings.

"That tomboy leon?" I try to convince.

"Yes! But he's not a tomboy anymore, 180 degrees different, now it looks beautiful. Pantesan Riko to frivolous."

The way Arjun described Leona somehow pissed me off. Rarely Arjun to praise a girl as enthusiastic as that.

"So, are you following a crush?" ketus.

"e-b ... That's not what I mean .. you jealous huh Run? Ha-ha ...." Arjun's laughter broke.

"Oh who is jealous, just plain," I said in an annoyed tone.

"That's the way it sounds" he said still with the rest of the laughter at the end of his voice.

"Gue, just a wonder. Not usually you praise girls to the side," I explained.

"Oh-iya-yeah. Eung .. I was telling a story like that because of a shock, it turns out that the girl Riko was the one we know. That's it, anyway."

"Oh."

"Kok 'oh' doang? Still pissed?"

"Who's upset?"

"That's the sound of it."

Arjun was the worst with my attitude. To be honest, I was still a little annoyed with the way Leona told me earlier. Wait, why should I be upset? It is also true what Arjun explained earlier, naturally we are excited to tell a story when meeting old friends.

Leona was close to us in High School, but on the eve of her third-grade rise she moved out of town because her father was transferred.

Wretched this? What sentence is more appropriate to explain the sudden feeling of annoyance when listening to her lover tell another girl?

"Run?" Arjun's voice jolted me, "cock silent?" tanyakanya. This time his laughing voice changed in a serious tone.

"No. Maybe it's true Lo said, I'm jealous. But little." I admit in a doubtful tone, not wanting Arjun to be caught off guard by my jealousy.

"Many also nothing, I'm smiling," kekehnya expel the worries that had stopped.

"Lo, ah."

"Lho, how weird?"

"People, mah, are not used to being envied, you are even seneng." I was wide open to Arjun's confusion.

"That means you're afraid of losing me, don't you?" his silence was heard again.

Ah, Juni. I miss you, I murmured in my heart.

"Well, are you?" Arjun's low voice swept over my eardrum.

I was still wanting to linger listening to Arjun's voice, but as soon as I saw Vienna coming out of the bathroom, it made me cancel my intention to continue the conversation with Arjun.

"Yes. Connect tomorrow yes," I said.

"Yes, have a nice dream," he replied before turning off the phone.

For the first time I felt a difficult feeling to explain in words like this. The sense of belonging and the fear of losing Arjun ballooned stiflingly. If only I did not remember my mother's current condition, I would like to quickly return to Bandung. Back to Arjun's side. I don't want Arjun's feelings for me to change. Because to me, he's just mine.
