Between Love and Traditional Java

Basecamp

Danial Pov's

I parked my bike on the porch of Andi's house, with my other friend's motorbike. Andi's house is crowded every day. His parents who live outside the city make Andi live alone. He didn't want to join his parents because he didn't want to change schools in high school.

He likes the environment here and of course because many of his friends are here too. He who was born living here is very difficult if he has to adapt in another environment again. Because we collect it always here, so the house is used as a basecamp.

I went into Andi's room and threw my jacket. I put my body on the king-size bed and closed my eyes.

"Why lo?" Andi voiced while playing his PS4 with Dicko.

"Gue broke up, but I love you," I answered him listlessly.

"Why did you break up?" Dicko stopped the game.

"Dad don't get it," I sat myself down.

"Other?" Dicko looked at me to make sure. I just cleared my throat and nodded.

"Trus Lo plan whatan, you break up Dyana that's it?" Andi.

"Gue is confused, I love him, I'll find a way out. I don't want to lose him like I lost Gea." I'm strengthening my heart.

"Excite yes Dan," Andi patted my back.

"Lo asked Mr. Ahmad deh Dan, Mudin in this village," Dicko gave advice.

drt..

I grabbed my phone vibrating in my pocket. I swiped the screen happily because it was a message from Dyana.

"Do you really want to work on our relationship?" After a long wait, Dyana finally replied to my message.

I immediately video-called him. It felt shady to see his face, but it was a look of sadness. And just a few words from Dyana and she ended my call. I threw my phone, I rubbed my face rough. How should I explain. I'm rattled.

"Mr Ahmad, huh?" I asked Andi seriously.

"Well, who knows if there's a way out?" Andi asked back while frowning.

"Thanks yes," I patted Andi on the shoulder and got out of her bed.

"Gue go first," run out in a hurry. Andi and Dicko looked at each other. Then continue the game.

"Dani tuh if the courtship fails mulu yes, very kasian," Dicko expressed his heart.

"Yes, what cake he fit left Gea, now it has started to improve aja," Andi chimed in.

Danial drove his bike home. Along the way he thought of Andi's advice. He cannot just be silent. He has to find a solution.

"Le, you're home" Mama Danial passed by in the dining room as she was about to enter the room.

"Eat first Le," asked Mama Danial, with her father's gaze as if telling her to sit down.

"It was full, eating at Andi's house" and Danial entered his room.

Dyana Pov's

"Pil, again upset," I whined to send a message to Lutfi.

"Ngaffe yuk," I joined the house. Want to get out and calm down. I asked Lutfi to accompany me. I need him to listen to my curses.

At three o'clock in the afternoon Lutfi was in front of my house. I went out and sat in the back seat. His speeding beat motor transports us away from home. We're going around the city that doesn't know what to go to. I'm just trying to enjoy this day to unwind my fatigue. Mingling with the wind that I wish could wipe out my sorrowful overflow.

"Where is yung?" Lutfi was confused about the purpose, let alone me, more ignorant.

"Whatever, anyway I want to calm down yung," I send Upil to choose a place.

An hour ago we were just walking down the street. Combine with vehicle density at work. Finally Lutfi took me to Bukit Jaas Permai. There we can see the view of the city from above. The atmosphere of a modern kafe but filled with many ornamental plants is very soothing. A quiet atmosphere surrounded, only a few pairs of eyes occupied the wooden bench, because it was not a weekend day.

Before long the food we ordered was delivered. The waiter kindly and deftly put one-on-one plate from the tray onto the table.

"Please enjoy" Laying down the last cup and bill and leaving.

When dusk began to color the sky, I was sitting in front of the milk tea which gave off a sweet aroma. Looking at the orange-colored sky. Lutfi sat beside me while brewing her milk shake. The piano strains accompanied, comforting a lonely caution.

"Where is the story, how did you break up?" Lutfi opened the conversation.

I sighed, took a deep sip of milk tea and put down the cup. I looked at Lutfi.

"Java's medicine, I'm still guessing."

"Prophey yung, you're strong!" Lutfi rubbed my shoulder. Because he knows best about my love story. Which always extinct unsheathed situation. Always failing. I leaned on Lutfi's shoulder while telling her everything.

At least, even though my heart is broken repeatedly, there are still friends who will calm my grievances. This afternoon, the sky was beautiful but my eyes were teary looking at him.

For a long time we were just sitting quietly. Mutually strengthen. Lutfi did not get tired of accompanying me until the dim lights down there began to decorate. It's eight o'clock but we're still not moving. After finishing the burger we finally plan to go home. We go through the night streets and get cold. At least I feel a little relieved.

"Thank you yung, be careful on the road" Lutfi smiled and put on his bike. Stay away from my house.

I put my body on the blue sheet. I hugged nemo Danial's gift. I think I miss him very much. My room full of beach-smelling decorations is very soothing. Blue ceilings and orange walls with various fish stickers decorate. In the corner of the room there is a nightstand with a variety of miniature fish into the complement. Not to forget the mini aquarium rattled next to my bed.

I grabbed my phone, looked at my picture and Danial together. A photo that shows a happy expression but not with my heart now. Photos are always cheerful and look friendly but now I'm hurt. That's how the photo, it will look the same expression but in the feeling can be different. And slowly I fell asleep.

I've been quieting Danial for two days. I always think about his words.

"Is he really going to fight?" I finally couldn't bear to contact him.

"And.." I sent him a message.

I want to repair this relationship. After he made a video call yesterday and I just turned it off for calm. I started to realize that I shouldn't be selfish either, because I love, I don't want this to drag on.

"Is it good how you feel?" Danial replied quickly.

"You can talk, I've thought."

"I'm sorry, Dyana, I'll find a way out." Danial.

"We haven't decided yet?" Danial asked for my statement.

Danial regretted what he had said. Actually, he did not want to break this relationship. But the chaos in his mind made him say hurtful words. Without realizing.

"I hope that in the future we'll be fine, yes" I expressed my feelings. And that night our relationship came back good.
