CHAPTER 7 - I'm an Idiot

I closed the room door a little harshly and directly threw myself on the bed. I was upset with my mom and dad because of the chat in the living room earlier.

The Flashback

“mama same papa what the hell?? How did I get to go with Bian? Yesterday instead of agreeing I set out alone as long as HP remains on?” my protest after hearing the decision of mom and dad.

“ya that was before Bian came to the house of love...now there is a Bian whose goal is the same as yours, why not all together? It's also better to have the theme” said papa who answered my protest patiently.

“anyhow you leave tomorrow with Bian. Mama is calmer if you have a meeting” I'm just about to open my mouth, immediately close back to hear the words of mama.

I can't protest anymore. I gave a sharp look towards Bian who was only reciprocated with his flat gaze. This even makes me more upset. I don't know his way of thinking right now. What the hell try him to recklessly follow me to Solo.

“whatever mama same papa deh...i want to protest also gabakal didengerin” said I was flat and stood leaving the living room with a step slightly jerked towards the room.

End Flashback

At exactly 7 p.m., Tisha knocked on my door and told me to go out for a meal. I rushed out of the room wearing a thin short-sleeved T-shirt and hotpants. I smacked my hair as I walked towards the dining room. Arriving at the dinner table, as usual I greeted eyang, mama, and papa with a kiss on the cheek. I also saw Bian join us for dinner.

“I thought you were home Bi?” ask me to Bian after saying hello to eyang, mama, and papa.

“hush..kok you so the hell did you say?” reprimand mama to me, “nak Bian tonight nginap here so do not make it difficult when you leave tomorrow” explained mama.

“tomorrow you want to leave at what time?” mama asked while taking food for eyes and papa.

“kalo Bian want it abis dawn already aunty road, so there is not too noon” replied Bian politely with a small smile.

“how do you love?” ask Papa who asked for my approval

“mmm can deh” said I agree to Bian's proposal. I put on a jutek face when I found out mom and dad were happy if I was going to leave with Bian.

“abis eat directly in the room, face wash, toothbrush, prayer isya, trus directly sleep. Do not call first ama Luna, take a day off tonight” obviously mama long.

“iya ma...lagian also I call Luna will talk shop ma....” reply me while taking rice and side dishes.

“iya talking about work.commonly just 30 minutes the rest julid kan” I thumped my lips when I heard my mother's words.

We finally had dinner in silence. After dinner, I immediately walked to the room to do the routine that my mother mentioned before going to bed. After changing into a nightgown, I immediately threw myself into the bed and opened the WA. In the KKN group has been busy discussing their departure to Tegal. They are planning to leave at 11 pm to arrive at dawn in Tegal. There was no sign of a message from Bian saying he was not leaving with them. I finally got the courage to call Jihan

“assalamualaikum Dem..” greet Jihan after my call connected to her.

“waalaikumsalam Ji...eh how are you the same Ines? At Alfi's house?” I asked her where she was.

“new to otw nih..wait for Devan's invitation. This is the Alfi I said he said Bian gajadi come along. Why else would anyone? Where is diem-diem doang again the Bian does not know the reason..eh you tomorrow what time to leave?” I chuckled at Jihan's rambling, as usual.

“heh??? You know what...kok can?” jihan asked who was surprised to hear my words.

“ya bisalah..tau-tau this afternoon appeared him in my house. Yesterday I was eating dinner with him, maybe now he again wants to rest in the room” obviously I relaxed.

“HAH??? SHE STAYED IN YOUR HOUSE???” I instantly distanced my HP from the ears hearing Jihan's hysterical cry.

“iya bebb...difficulty it can also be kali” said after returning closer HP to the ear.

“wahh fix it Dem.si Bian gabisa far from you. Crazy people who try for 4 years. The feeling used to be not like gini deh” said Jihan who started teasing me with Bian again.

“ck what the heck Ji started again deh..he had said to Solo want to go to his friend's work problem. Trus stopped by my house so I could go together to Tegal”, I explained to Jihan not to tease me anymore.

“halah mode doang itumah him.ciyeee tomorrow alone to Tegal can be satisfied that you saw him during the trip. All nostalgia tuhh it has been 4 years not alone. When you were in college, you were very alone since KKN” abis I was upset with Jihan who returned to tease me like when I was in college.

Jihan was the first to know how I felt about Bian before Luna. Only Jihan and Luna knew how I used to suffer so much harboring that feeling of silence. Just like Luna, before parting ways with Bian, Jihan suggested that I be frank about my feelings for her or throw away those feelings. But because I have a mental “chicken” aka afraid to reveal or throw it finally can only hold it for years without clear certainty. Indeed, for the last 3 years Jihan did not know the news about the pent-up feelings, but I am sure if the current Jihan still feels if my feelings for Bian are still the same as before.

“dah ah..kalo just want to sneledekinp me doang mending me to sleep so tomorrow not bad luck wakeupnya” said I who finally ended my call with Jihan.

After ending my call with Jihan, I immediately prepared for a break. Usually, before going to bed I drink a glass of water. But I remember when I finished dinner I forgot to bring water into the room. With a lazy step, I opened the room door and walked towards the kitchen. The dark room did not make it difficult for me to walk into the kitchen.

As I got closer to the kitchen, I faintly heard a sound, like the sound of cabinets opening and closing in turn. In the middle of the darkness, I saw the shadow of a man who was opening the lid of a kitchen set. Who her? Is that papa? But usually papa when going to the kitchen always turn on the kitchen lights. Is there a thief infiltrating the house? Wow not quite right this…

I walked into the kitchen to ambush the man. I looked for items I could use as a shield and just in case the person attacked me back. I happened to find a broom hanging on the side wall of the kitchen. With a certain step I walked without making a sound. When I was standing behind the man, I raised my hand to get ready to hit him. Simultaneously, the person turned his body and immediately held onto my hand that was already hanging in the air. The surprised me instantly prepared to let out my screams. But before I did, I felt my mouth smothered by his hand.

“ssttt..ini I” whispered. That person was Bian. I don't think Bian's going out of the room.

I threw his hand violently because I had dared to touch my lips, “you why the hell dark-dark gini in the kitchen? I thought you might not know?” I whispered in a annoyed tone.

“i'm thirsty, want to drink. But I gatau glass is where” answered after releasing his grip on my hand carrying a broom. After escaping from his grasp, I immediately returned the broom to its original place and turned on the kitchen light whose switch was located near the broom hanger.

“kalo want to nyari glass, yes turn on the lights. You ninjas who can see in the darkness” my sewot after turning on the kitchen lights and see Bian clearly wearing long training pants and a plain white shirt that prints his athletic body. I'm sure there must be some torn bread hidden behind it. I was stunned by her body for a few seconds before putting on an upset face again.

I took two glasses from the cupboard near the dishwasher and took them to the refrigerator side dispenser to fill with water. After filling up, I handed the glass that was in my left hand to Bian who was apparently standing behind me. Ignoring the view that had been staring at me deeply, I finished the water in my hand up to half a glass, then I filled the glass again until it was full again. I who was upset to see Bian from earlier did not stop looking at me finally looked back while shaking my waist.

“what's more?” I asked with ketus.

Bian just kept quiet while continuing to look at me without a blink. For a few seconds we were silent to look at each other, I realized that Bian's eyes did not point to my face, but toward my body. My eyes widened as I followed his gaze. It turned out that my appearance at this time was wearing a satin pajama set with a tanktop top and flaming red hotpants to be the reason Bian had not taken his eyes off me. The thing that made me want to disappear right then and there was that I was not wearing an interior so that my twin assets were clearly imprinted behind the tanktop. Without saying a word, I immediately ran as fast as I could towards the room. I closed the door of the room finely without making a sound that could wake one person up, put the glass that I was holding on the nightstand, slammed myself into the bed, and scream as loud as possible by being covered by a pillow.

“ARGHHH I’M AN IDIOOOTTTT!!!!”
