Between Love and Traditional Java

Birthday Present

Mem is still busy walking around, as long as all the things he thinks are funny. It was almost two baskets full of groceries, until I finally took the troly to make it easier to carry it. The plan will not shop much, but in fact the lust of a woman when in the shopping center can never be avoided.

"You want to buy a panda, I think so cute," Mem smiled as he blinked his eyes.

I rushed to get a panda. Mumpung here can be bought for mementos to return to Indonesia. Like Danial used to give me a big panda. But all of that has been a beautiful life in my past, recalls.

Flash back on,

I was left alone in the predominantly white living room and the five pillow sofa. Fifteen minutes passed and Danial didn't turn back either.

"And long time, he said take tissue?" I was a little screaming.

In the middle room Danial with his friend had a small argument. Mutual blame but still reflected familiarity.

"That's ahead!" have Andi push Danial's body.

"Yes but the time of gini-rich love," Danial still did not move from where he stood. He felt it was inappropriate.

"Udah is not papa, not a bag," said Andi with a little push Danial.

"Rese Loe," Finally inevitably Danial ahead. Letting the card be wrapped in plastic. Intentions want romantic instead failed.

I saw Danial carrying a large black plastic bag, I don't know what it contained. I just scrunched my forehead looking at him, while he grinned confused, half embarrassed.

"For you," Danial handed over the parcel. I took her to the couch and opened it. I'm in flowers, I never thought I'd get much of a surprise from Danial.

"Thank you Dan" I hugged her.

"Sorry not to wrap," said Danial which actually makes me feel unique. I like it because it's different. Likes him who is what he is, who does not need to keep the image to look good and praised.

The rain outside makes things dark inside the house. What was just a drizzle changed with the gurgling of very heavy water. The cold filled the room that only the two lived in.

"And I go home first" cried Andi who was in front of the house. He put on his coat and got ready to run his bike.

"Why go home? it's still raining, too" Danial saw it from the door. Looking at Andi who was drenched in the rain.

"I told you to go home" Andi turned on the bike. Actually just do not want to disturb his friend who is being hit by romance romance.

"Bye" he shouted again when the motor had darted far out of sight.

I play a song from my phone because it's lonely to dominate. Danial sat next to me, we told him and ate the cake that was left. I accidentally dropped a match on the table. I bent down to pick it up which Danial followed. Our hands touch, my reflexes look at his face. We are in love.

The sound of the water outside was getting louder, my heart rhythm was also affected. As if his pulse could not be controlled. Danial grabbed my shoulder and took me to the sofa. The distance between us was eroding along with his face getting closer. I don't know anymore, I slowly closed my eyes.

I felt a soft kiss for a moment. Those thin lips touched me. I feel a comfort I have never had before. I got carried away and gave her my first kiss. He sipped slowly and brushed my hair. A few seconds passed, the kiss came off for a moment as my breath grew more and more stingy.

From the first time we met until our relationship lasted nine months, this was the first time she touched me. The first time he gave me a warm kiss on my lips.

"Special gift" I told him. He just smiled.

"There's nothing wrong," I hugged her tightly.

The rain has not subsided yet, while the clockwork continues to roll. It was late in the afternoon but it was as if it was night because of the darkness.

"I want to go home" he asked me, still in his arms.

"It's still raining" Danial combed my hair with his finger. I don't feel like saying goodbye when the romance won't subside.

"But it's late afternoon" I looked at his face.

"Would you like to go home in the rain?" Danial put my nose. He sleeps on my lap.

"May try," I smiled defiantly. I look at the face that makes my heart always shake. Reviewing her nose, her cheeks and everything on her face that could make me fall in love.

"I'm getting ready first" Danial wakes up, he wants to change his clothes.

Danial is ready, I put my phone in the bag so as not to get wet. We really plan to break through the rain. Danial's ready with his bomber jacket.

"You sure?" Danial made sure once again. I hajya nodded in convincing him.

For a moment the motor drove slowly, shaking the water so fast. We laugh enjoying a wet body. Things like this are ridiculous. Rain always has a story, whether sad or happy, often memorable and unforgettable.

So beautiful if met with the same frequency people. Doing crazy things that are far from logic. There's no need to show we're always okay. Be yourself and trust each other. Doing everything we like.

"Cooling?" Danial screamed a little, for the boisterous sound of water roaring with the machine.

I just tightened my arms on his back. He looked at me from the rearview mirror I returned a blink of an eye. The face of the water doesn't make me feel cold. This kind of madness is beyond my expectations. Danial also wants to obey me. We laughed all the way. No story about wet clothes. It doesn't matter if it hurts afterwards. Regardless of the rain again is important we are very happy.

Arriving in front of the house, I invited Danial to stop by. My mother wondered why it was raining.

"Should take shelter first, you guys here," Mom gave Danial a towel. We just look at each other, the grin is not clear, because this is what we deliberately do.

Mom was brewing hot tea for Danial, while I changed my clothes. Then I gave my big t-shirt to Danial. After tidying himself up Danial joined the chat. My house is like his, my mother has served his blessing.

"You're rich little ones, you know the rain is falling," Mother passed from the kitchen, presenting a cup of tea whose steam was still pouring out.

"Thank you buk," Danial drank it.

"So we've reached it buk, keep raining, yes already giggling, I ask you to continue walking," I pointed to the T-junction that is not far from my house with a signal.

Mom just shook her head, then left me both. The night is getting better, the rain is also starting to subside. Danial says home.

Flash back off,

"Ok, let's pay!" Invite my master who makes me forget that I am reminiscing about the past.

I lined various paper bags with various new items as their contents. Shopping this time really drains the contents of the ATM. But that is the easiest way to express sadness. Shopping is the most effective eye wash. I also had a smile to remember the memory of the past that suddenly flashed.
