Between Love and Traditional Java

First Time Time Time

“When can we meet?”

I just came home from Malang, it felt so tired of my body. I went back to my town, I took sick leave. I am lazy to just work. Want to be alone for a while, seek calm.

“If you want to meet dateng to home, if you walk the same permission of my parents,” I said firmly, I do not want to just meet on the side of the road, the first new anyway, must be vigilant, must take care of myself, I do not want to meet on the side of the road, I don't know why my heart still believes in him. Yes, suddenly I found a little comfort related to him even though only through virtual.

“Can he pick me up at home?” I sat down, I finally accepted his invitation.

The next morning there was a chat coming in from him. I vaguely read the message. Drowsiness still covers me.

“I walked into your house, but stray.”

I went and confirmed the message again, after I sent him the address last night, he really wanted to pick me up. Our house is different in the city, normally it takes about an hour to get to my house. He called me while grinning, I laughed when he said the wrong way. Then I sent maps to him. I quickly took a shower and ate a piece of bread.

I was waiting for him myself. I fell asleep on the couch and unscrewed the phone, hoping she'd come.

“Say to go out, why not leave yet?” aunt tanya.

“Still waiting for cement,” I said smile-smile shy.

“Temen what cement, neatly dress up,” My aunt teases me.

“Temenlah, for now anyway, do not know if later,” haha I laughed then go down and grab a drink. I try to avoid the topic with my aunt. I can be made to blush later. Because my aunt likes to tease me if there is a guy who wants to take me on the road.

I waited for him from morning, and he came when the sun was overhead. At first I made bete. But when I saw his face for the first time, all my annoyance instantly changed.

***

We leave after getting permission from my aunt. All along the way we just keep quiet before finally finding a topic that makes us not stop talking.

We entered the beach gate and were immediately greeted by her friends who teased us. I just found out that he took me to his workplace. I'm carried away by feeling.

“If I'm not serious with someone, I won't bring you here, because this is my place of work.” He expressed his seriousness.

At first I just thought he was joking, when he tried to ask me out, because we had never met. Not surprisingly, when I said the same to him to go first, he showed evidence. I started to open my heart slowly. It's still hard to trust a man after I've been hurt.

He stopped at one of the gazebos overlooking the beach. I sat down tired, still confused about what to do, what to say, just look at him I'm embarrassed. After putting down his helmet, he smiled and left.

Strange, I thought, he was different from the others. I smiled at her passing.

Sound notification hp, I lyrics next to me, hp him. I fad the screen scrooll, saw the wallpaper he animated a woman under the umbrella, shelter from the rain, with the caption, with the caption,

“don't be afraid of rain, rain comes with its own story, don't be afraid of rain, rain will tell memories today, don't be afraid of rain, after rain there will be rainbow.. “

i'm touched. Like today, which I will someday tell you back. His caption is very precise, like today's moment, may be a beauty in yourself. Is this the rainbow I was expecting? I smiled with the sweet-tasting rain. Relaxing atmosphere.

Before long he came with a tray filled with food. Slowly I put her back. He served me a bowl of meatballs.

“I haven't bought you a drink, don't know what you like, but if meatballs when rich gini surely you like.” He smiles with his fists.

“Sok tahu” I said mockingly. But anyway, if the rain whack the most delicious meatballs warm and spicy, hehe.

“I don't like coffee, but like sweet.” I said.

He has his own behavior, he often jokes, what it is, it's very humorous. This is the first time I've come across a man who's directly shown evidence, not just talk. The first time I knew it gave an impression that I had a hard time forgetting. A pleasant first meeting.

After eating, he lit his cigarette. He smokes next to me in his comfort. Sometimes we talk even though we are still confused about what to say. Even though on the phone or chat we feel very familiar. Maybe it is still the first time to meet so still keep the image.

“Raise ATV yuk!” he's taking.

“I'm afraid, I can't drive,” I'm hesitant.

“That's easy I'll teach you, you'll be a passenger first,”

I walked along the coast with him. Sometimes we joke. We take pictures and record everything that I think is memorable. He held my hand until we got to the ATV rental.

“You wait here,”

I was waiting for him by the beach, he ran towards a middle-aged man. He seemed familiar, maybe it was his friend, I thought.

“Fine,” he told me to go up. After he brought the ATV in front of me. I also followed his invitation.

I sat behind him, enjoying this togetherness. I was adventuring, I saw the other side after getting to know him. I feel like I can erode all the fear that always haunts me. Little by little, as I unfolded what I had experienced in my life, I began to open up to her.

We're driving around the coast on an ATV. He taught me to drive, the first time for me, I was scared. But he continued to force me, I was finally able to drive him well. It's nice, I'm speeding up and I'm speeding. I feel free. I flew away from all the weird stuff that always filled my day.

Mentari began to be on the western horizon of the reddish-colored sky and birds flying his complaints. He took me home when the twilight started to pull over. I'm enjoying today. Through Adzan maghrib we reached my house. After he had prayed in the mosque before, I accompanied him, because I was unable to perform it.

After dropping me off, he said goodbye to my aunt. I love him today, like I started liking him.

"Thank you today, be careful on the road" I message him.

"It's important you're grinning,"

I've been thinking about him all night. I get carried away with just a little attention. That's as easy as it is to make me comfortable. I don't even care about Fariz anymore. That night I slept well, I slept well.

I woke up this morning. I need to get back to the store. I haven't been in for a week, my coordinator always asks me.

"Buck my anthers, I'll miss the bus," I whined.

"Who was that hard built," my mother nagged.

"yes, yes buk, his brother was dreaming, very beautiful," I laughed.

Thirty minutes I'm here, waiting for a bus that never arrives.

"Be careful on the road" Danial messages me.

"I'm sorry I couldn't,"

"No papa, I've been escorted by mom, waiting for a really long bus," I replied to her message.

During the trip Danial accompanied me chat, before he finally left for work as well. After two hours, I arrived at the city where I worked.
