The Still Lisa POV.
After enjoying a cigarette, Tika and I decided to go back into the room, lock the balcony door and lay down on the bed. Stretch the stiff muscles. A year earlier we drank a glass of water that I accidentally put on my dresser.
I forgot my annoyance at Dave, because my longing for him right now feels so much bigger than anything. The word distance is indeed one of the biggest obstacles for two human beings who are drunk with romance. And that sentence is true, I feel it now.
We both laid our bodies on my king-size bed. Without a sound, we both looked at the ceiling of this room. Tika was busy with her own thoughts. I was busy thinking about Dave.
“Tomorrow we—” said we both in unison and turned to each other. Then we laughed together.
“Yes, what do you want to say? Deh.” first I gave up on him who was still laughing.
“Lu tomorrow no lecture?” tika asked after she managed to ease her laughter.
“There, morning class at nine. Why?”
“Cave follow to your campus may, yes? Cave want to look.” Tika turned her body, propping up her chin with her left palm while looking at me.
“Boleh, but you're coming into the class huh? Gua is afraid that you will be outside the classroom alone. Ntar someone kidnapped you.” I tried to tease her.
We chuckle. “Loh, can you come to class?” Tika astonishment.
“Who says you can't? 'And here the way the teacher is different in Indonesia.” Then I explained the education system in the country of London which is very much different from the country of our birth. Tika listened to all my explanations, even she always asked whatever she felt she did not understand.
Until it didn't feel like the time had already shown at one night, several times, I saw Tika feel drowsiness and tried to hold her back just to accompany me to chat.
“Udah sleep there, tomorrow cave wakein.” Tika immediately nodded her head as soon as I told her to go to sleep immediately. He turned his body and pulled the blanket. While I get out of bed, take the remote AC and raise the temperature settings, so as not to be too cold if met with the morning air.
“Lu where to go?” sergeant Tika when he saw me grab a cell phone from the top of the nightstand and put it in my shorts pocket.
“Gua forgot, haven't taken a pillow as a blanket for your brother. He's going to sleep what's he trying? Tomorrow morning it will be very cold out there,” I explained as I walked to the closet and pulled out two pillows and one sheet of blankets, “you already slept first there. Good night.”
Then I walked to the door carrying Max's sleeping gear. On the sofa out there there are indeed some small pillows, but where possible the pillow is good to be used as a sleeping pillow.
However, the other view I got once I got to the television room—Max was already sound asleep with some of those little pillows, without the blanket warming his body. I looked at his face. His body curled up with both knees in his arms.
I smiled thinly. However, there was another sense that appeared at the moment, once it saw him like this. Perhaps the old taste for her, is still stored in the depths of my heart. But perhaps, that sense is no greater than my love for Dave. Might as well.
I slowly exhaled, then carefully I opened the sheet of the blanket and placed it over her body. However, suddenly a blink of an eye, Max's hand gripped my wrist until I was suffocated. He opened his eyes and looked at me in the dim light of the lights from the kitchen.
“Do not always tease me.” Max was remembering me who upset me.
'Take him? That's right!' my anger in my heart.
I violently pulled my wrist from her. To make my wrist hurt so much. Max got up from his sleep and sat looking at me.
“Tempting? Just don't dream, Max! I just want a blanket! Know this, mending do not need to be available all.” I kicked one of the pillows I had placed near the sofa. Piqued.
Max was still in his seat when I came out of my bedroom. He looked at me at a glance, I did the same before I finally resumed these footsteps. Get out of my own apartment.
I wish her good intentions tonight. I should have let him sleep in that condition. After all, who told you to come hitchhiking here. “She should sleep in a hotel, let Tika be here. Ngeselin really that person,” gruntuku down this building using the elevator.
Arriving at the parking basement. I'm heading straight to my car. Not to leave immediately, but rather sit behind the wheel with the car door that I accidentally opened. Then I started smoking a cigarette. While thinking about what I should do and where should I throw this annoyance?
I exhale heavily. After that, pensive while enjoying every breath of cigarette smoke that accompanied me. My eyes just kept staring at Max's car parked right next to me.
Not long after, my phone suddenly rang.
🎶
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you
🎶
My hand reached straight into my shorts pocket and picked up the thinly woven object. Dave's name was on the home screen, and instantly both corners of my lips expanded. Interested perfect. Without waiting for long, my thumb swiftly shifted the green image on my phone. I received a phone call from the man I missed so much.
“Hallo? Hi. ..,” I said to him.
Silent. There was no sound or even any sound from across there. I tried to greet him back. Then there was his dull voice there.
“Why are your room lights still on? Why haven't you slept?” ask her across there.
“Where are you?”
“Just where I can see your bedroom lights on.”
Spontaneously I hung up on her. Dropped my cigarette and stepped on it. Then I immediately searched for my perfume inside the front dashboard and sprayed it onto my body.
I'll go see him.
I really miss him.
