Branching Love

Branching Love
Night Market



"Come down" said Bintang after stopping the car right at the main gate.


"Lah, you're Bint" worried Rita.


"Find the parking lot first" Risda replied without being asked.


"Whom do I ask?, who answers?" circus Rita.


"After that, let's go down" Adi said when he saw Risda who was about to answer again.


"We wait before the gate" told Risda who was nodding his head by the Star.


Risda and Rita go down first while Adi comes along with Bintang looking for a place to park.


A rough sigh from the Star sounded when he saw that nothing was empty, full.


Fifteen minutes passed by Adi and Bintang to the main gate where Risda and Rita were waiting.


"Ayook comes in" Adi invited while holding Rita's hand.


"Eh" surprised Rita, following Adi's steps. There was no rebuttal from Rita as Adi clasped her hands tightly.


Take them on a ticket purchase to ride the giant rides.


Adi bought tickets as many as twelve vouchers, aka three giant games they will ride.


"Abang, that's mostly the ticket" pointed Rita at Adi's hand.


"No" answered Adi quickly "even this will not be enough" looking at his hand who holds the voucher ticket riding the rides.


Risda's first pillihan fell on a kora-kora game.


Adi, Bintang, Risda and Rita do not need to wait too long in line, thanks to the power and ability and ingenuity of the Stars, the four of them can immediately ride the kora-kora without having to wait long.


Aaaaaaa


Aaaaa


AAAa


Shouted the passengers above the kora-kora.


"The star cried out" cried Rita telling the Star.


The star only snorted in annoyance and returned a smile from Risda sitting next to him.


"I screamed first yes Bint" Risda's permission on the Stars


"Please".


In an instant the aura of Risda, grim, flat without any experesion and "AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" cried Risda as loudly as possible to defeat the cry of the others.


Adi and Rita who were sitting right in front of Bintang and Rida suddenly turned their faces back, seeing Risda who shouted like a lion shade that vented anger.


Adi and Rita twisted their necks in half to ascertain who was shouting, then they gulped down their hard spit and again shouted together as the kora-kora swings back to lift them high above the equivalent height of nearly six tiers of buildings.


Clup.


Power's out.


"HAhahaahhahha" the laughter of the Stars with Risda blaring made all the passengers and queues that had not yet boarded goosebumps instantly.


Stars and Risda add to their levels of laughter when they feel the kora-kora swing exceeds normal limits.


While screaming in fear, Adi with Rita muttered softly "base of a crazy couple, almost death approach, they can only laugh, where they used to laugh". Shouts of "Aaaaa".


Minutes passed with a temporary power outage. The electric current has returned to normal and the kora-kora rides have also been successfully stopped and all passengers disembarked with faces that looked grim with fear and some excitement.


Echoing laughter still sounds plaza, not laughter happiness but laughter of evaporation that is happening to two people who look like a couple.


Adi and Rita looked at each other confusedly at the Star and the new Risda stopped the laughter and replaced it with a smile.


"You guys'' look at Adi sharply at the Star and Risda 'can you stop your laughter, really, if you smile or laugh is really very scary''' said honestly Adi from the bottom of his heart.


There was no reply from Bintang and Risda just glanced at a glance and stopped the laughter they were doing.


Bintang and Risda continued their steps towards the other rides while holding hands and followed by Adi and Rita who also joined hands.


The star glanced at Risda's hand that was clasping her hand tightly and glimpsed at Risda's sweet, though thin, smiling face.


Blooming flowers my heart with your smile love, glad my soul for your happiness and your smile. It's okay for me if I'm not your first love now, I hope I'll be your last.


Muhammad Star


Risda's steps are so wide that it takes Bintang to the rides that are on the night market. The star could easily adjust Risda's wide stride but not with Rita who was already breathing heavily, exhausted.


"Riss" call Rita screaming.


Unheeded by Risda who kept stepping and by still holding the hand of the Star tightly.


Risda and Bintang's wide steps remained followed by Adi and Rita with gasping breaths.


Adi sees Rita who is so exhausted adjusting her steps with Risda and Bintang. Adi smiled feeling the thump of his chest that rumbled violently due to the grip of the hand held tightly by Rita.


Kriing Kriing Kriing ringing Adi's mobile phone.


"Yes hello ma"


...


"There"


...


"Night market"


After the connection was broken while continuing to drag a step, Rita asked Adi "who?".


"Mama" smiled warmly.


"Ish" Rita sneered and turned her face "looking handsome, spread charm into a hobby" murmured exclaimed Rita who can still be heard by Adi.


Again and again Adi smiled happily with a soft mutter Rita.


"Honey" call Adi to Rita.


There is no word from Rita.


"Dear" call Adi again.


There is no word from Rita.


"Saayaangg" call spoiled Adi.


"Look?" glaring embarrassed Rita with those who stared in admiration at them.


"Why not the same permission as the mother earlier"


"Forgot" Rita replied quickly.


In his heart Adi cheered cheerfully with the answer to his affectionate call, although the reply pitched annoyance that he got but Adi realized something, if his feelings had begun to receive slowly Rita.


The voucher ticket reply they had spent and the hit had been showing late at night. Adi and Bintang looked at each other's wrists, looking at the clock on their watches.


"Go home" they said at the same time.


Risda and Rita gasped in shock staring in wonder at Adi and Bintang whose tumbenaknya compact while stopping their movement wiping the soft melts that wet them.


"Abang can be firm as well yes" said circus Risda because annoyed to make him surprised and immediately see the sharp star at a glance while Rita just smiled indistinctly.


"Why again" asked the star to Rita.


"There's nothing".


Four pairs of legs out the main gate to the car park to return home. "tungu here" stopped Bintang.


After five minutes, Bintang has returned by driving his sedan. Adi, Risda and Rita get into the car and find their comfortable sitting position.


The car went to go home. Circumstances in the car felt silent no one said a word suddenly krukkk kruk. Risda's stomach sounds were loud.


Hahhahahah


Adi and Rita's laughter broke instantly while Bintang looked at Risda at a glance and straightened his gaze forward again focusing on driving.


The origin of the sound that causes friends and brothers to laugh is himself. There were no words spoken from Risda looking down at his stomach and then chose to throw his gaze out the window watching the trees chasing each other as the speed of the car he was riding was speeding.


SERIATE...
