Blue Berets

3. Jealous

They're at the camp now. Adnan, Raihan, and Keenan set up their tent before dark while Lucy, Ningrum, and Kirana went to the beach for photos and water play. Adnan as the one who invites can only sigh. She knew that her sister and her friends would not help, but she still expected them to help.

An hour later all their needs were completed. Two medium-sized tents are already installed. Lucy, Ningrum, and Kirana rolled out one of the mats they had brought in front of the tent then started to light the stove. The night wind started to blow, so before it was really dark Adnan accompanied his sisters to the nearest bathroom so they could clean themselves up.

While waiting for Kirana's two unfinished friends to shower, Kirana follows her sister to sit in the stall close to the bathroom. Her brother sat there with a glass of warm tea. Kirana had used to snatch her sister's food, so she just relaxed about putting the remaining half-glass tea without any sin at all.

Adnan suddenly opened his jacket and then he just put it into the lap of his sister. Kirana already understood, she gave it to Kirana to wear. Although fighting and always arguing, but Adnan is still a brother who loves his sister so much. The age difference Adnan and Kirana quite far, and since his sister was still not able to support his own body Adnan was always beside him ready to take care of his sister.

“Yes Allah lo shower really long because of shampooing? From Kirana shower, keep me shower you new out Cy,” said Adnan protest.

“Ya has Bang, it's been a regular long time shower girl,” said Lucy.

“The shower is not long,” replied Adnan.

“Always Kirana chick?” Ningrum asked Adnan.

The two people if only with Adnan are no longer awkward. Since they were friends, they often played to each other's homes to hang out. Sometimes at Lucy's house, sometimes at Ningrum's, sometimes at Kirana's. Mama said they were hanging out and crowded at home rather than anywhere else.

In the tent, Raihan and Keenan who are hungry start misuh-misuh, “Adnan where the dog does not go back and forth,” muttered Raihan.

“Definitely wait for Lucy so long,” said Keenan.

“Oh yes, lo lama sahabatan with the three of them?” ask Bang Raihan.

“Ngak so long anyway, can know the same deket they are also because of dating Kirana Bang, if not ogah deket-deket chick model Ningrum let alone Lucy,” said Keenan.

Raihan only ber 'oh’ ria, he pulled the guitar he brought then began genjreng-genjreng with Keenan who followed the melody he picked.

“Lo sound good too,” praise Raihan.

“Gini gini I'm former vocalist of the band Bang,” praise Keenan proud of him.

“Mantan? Why not follow up?”

“Obias, internal conflicts. There is one of the personnel who likes Kirana but she plays behind. Do not like the same way, mending him talk directly in front of what he wants. I'm more willing to be invited to compete in a healthy way than playing tikung,” said Keenan.

“Lo is very dear yes same Kirana?”

“Banget Bang. Although physically she is not a big girl, impressed tomboy, barbaric, and hard, but like me. He's rare, he's different from everyone else, and there's one trait he's never shown other than me and Bang Adnan, so I'm staying with him,” said Keenan subconsciously he smiled.

Raihan smiled, then patted Keenan's shoulder, “langgeng ya you guys,” said Raihan.

“Aamiin Bang, thank you. Later if I'm with Kirana actually married my brother to the wedding. Dateng ya Bang,” said Keenan.

“Well, if you're serious about him why don't you apply now? Waiting for what?”

“Waiting for blessing from her Papa. Papa said he would accept my application only if I already have a job, at least have a bachelor. Yes really, but in hindsight. Which parents are willing to marry their children equally unemployed. What to eat later. I'm not even Kirana 20 Bang yet. We're both too small,” Keenan said.

If Raihan was given the chance to be honest, he actually wanted to say he was interested in Kirana. Just as Keenan had said earlier, Kirana was different from the others. He has his own magnetism like a magnet that is able to draw anything close to him. But after what Keenan said just now, Raihan so immediately tried to bury his feelings back, lest the bud grow and ruin everything. In fact, the man before him already had serious intentions on Kirana and not only Kirana who had already approved but also her entire family. It seems inappropriate that Raihan suddenly came to ask Kirana from the arms of this young man.

She had just finished taking a shower, after putting her toiletries back into the bag she immediately sat down right next to Keenan. The girl had just taken a shower, but did not mind sitting next to Keenan which Raihan knew was sweating a lot this afternoon. The other two girls were inside, from the sound and smell of the perfume she smelled she knew that the two girls were preening. Keenan's words proved to be true, Kirana was indeed different from the other girls. Raihan was as if he was reminded that he must immediately retreat. He did not deserve to snatch Kirana from her owner.

“Kee, shower gih. Ntar you behind me make noodle cup,” said Kirana.

“Oiya lo so bring cooking oil right? Lumpia from Mommy in fried all at once for a snack,” said Keenan then moved to stand up, entered the tent then came out carrying two boxes containing spring rolls, “This is ordinary, this is normal, this one has a cab for Kirana,” said Keenan handed the two boxes into Kirana's hands.

Adnan had already made a campfire so that girls could start cooking water and frying. Adnan still helps to make a stand so that the skillet they carry does not burn fire. The four men surrounded the fire while Keenan went to bathe with Raihan.

That night they all enjoyed the bright night accompanied by cup noodles and spring rolls made by his mother Keenan. Raihan who is fluent in playing guitar continues to receive requests from both of Kirana's friends. He sat between Lucy and Ningrum in front of the tent, which women Keenan and Adnan were sitting flanking Kirana in front of the other tent.

“Uh uh uh, nguapnya big very neng,” said Keenan saw Kirana next to him yawn.

“Tick,” replied Kirana then leaned her body onto the shoulder of the sister.

“Sleep you all in the dalem there,” said Adnan.

“Ogah ah the others are still in si..,”

“Uhuk..., uhuk...” suddenly heard the sound of people choking make all eyes fixed on the source of the voice that is none other than Raihan.

“Why lo?” ask Adnan.

“Crazy this lumpia what is the talk of neighbors woy pedes really buset.”

“Bang Raihan wrong take have Kirana ya?” lucy said as she handed me a bottle of water.

“Where does not matter the contents mix cayenne,” said Keenan.

“Kok can also the feeling I have separated Bang,” said Kirana who felt guilty, “Abang no papa?” ask Kirana.

“No papa,” Raihan said with a smile.

Fiks, this girl is different. It's not just spicy, it's burning mouth. To relieve the spiciness of Raihan to have to spend half a large bottle of mineral water.

“Bang, I brought milk. In drinking, let your stomach not hurt,” said Kirana handed me a small box of strawberry milk.

“Still yes, tomorrow Brother change deh,” said Raihan.

“Nevent to Bang. I brought a lot of kok,” Kirana said again with a smile.

Raihan. Once again she thanked him and drank it right away. He doesn't even need a straw. He prefers to unfold at the end of his bottle then cut it so that the box can open.

Keenan looked at Raihan's behavior. The way the man drank the milk box was exactly Kirana's way. The girl never used her straw. Not only on the milk box, if the girl drinks ice also does not use a straw. He prefers to drink it straight from the mouth of a glass. In his heart there was a point of jealousy now and he was not very fond of his feelings this one.

Keenan was not jealous, he did not care about wanting Kirana to be close to anyone. But this time he felt an uneasy feeling seeing them talking about that unique way.
