THE EPS 27
^^^Angkringan Malam^^^
^^^20.00^^^
Night around eight. After we get ready to leave. Mas Raksa had a bath and changed clothes, he used Mas Damar clothes that were deliberately left to be worn while on vacation. We gave permission to go out to Mbah, and Mbah easily allowed it. As if I believed Mas Raksa.
The atmosphere tonight is quite crowded, indeed, the more the night will be more crowded. Mas Raksa parked the car in a roadside parking lot. Finally we decided to sit in angkringan which serves a variety of satai and cat rice.
Songs from single organs also reverberate to add a comfortable atmosphere. I can follow the chant if I know the song. After we chose some snacks, we decided to sit down on the mat that was provided.
Mas Raksa and I sat facing each other and were blocked by a simple wooden table.
“Enak, yes, atmosphere.” He opened the conversation.
I nod my head, “iya. But I just got out this time tonight like gini.”
“Together Echo?”
I frown, “how can the same Mbah? I've never been out the night, just this time.”
“Kalo same Mas Gema tuh, most leave for school together. I let him be irit. Hahaha.”
“Why can? You're one school?” Ask again.
Oh yes, maybe Mas Raksa did not know that I was in the same school as Mas Gema?
“Iya. He's even the head of the OSIS. Yesterday when my first MOS was late, fortunately there was a little nolong me from some OSIS who took advantage of the position.”
Raksa nodded at my story.
“Duh, really bosenin ya my story?”
Instantly the guy shook his head, “no. I'm glad you told me such a long story. We haven't talked like this in a long time.” His answer made me a little relieved.
But if pulled back, here I am always open with him. More precisely it is easy to be provoked to tell a variety of things. But, he himself was very rare, even if asked more he never explained.
“Hmm.”
“Gue can ask for something Mas?” I wanted to say the thing that suddenly appeared in the snapping, but was quite doubtful.
“What's dear?” My body immediately shuddered to hear his words. Did he not pray before speaking?
“Gue seriously.”
“I'm also serious.”
Tenan ASU.
“If I ask, we try to open up to each other. Mas objection?”
Either this question was ridiculous or not in Mas Raksa's ears. But this is what immediately came to my mind and indeed I wanted to open up to each other.
There was no response from the person in front of me. He just looked at my face. Is something wrong?
Or maybe he can't do that? Then he hasn't been serious all this time?
For quite a long time there was no answer from him and the atmosphere between us was also silent. But the chanting of songs from a single organ continued to reverberate.
“Sego sambel teri and sego suwir chicken. Chicken mane, leather, quail ndog, sausage, and wings. Ngombe iced tea, nggih?” The silence was broken by the angkringan servant. It turns out our order is ready.
As soon as we both saw the order, we thanked him. After the maid left, I decided to open the conversation again.
Honestly, I'm so embarrassed that I want to go home right now.
I've eaten some sweet iced tea, “em. Duh, my request is ridiculous anyway?”
“Lupain, Dad. Consider me again digelindur.” I said while trying to open one of the cat rice, this is to reduce the sense of misbehavior and shame that is acting on me.
“You're not sleeping, can you do?”
I didn't dare to look at her face at all, because I was so embarrassed. Praise God Aeera still has veins of shame.
“Yes, yes, can be. That's my weird side.” Don't know what I'm saying, just find an excuse.
His hand took the cat rice that I had not managed to open.
“This is my order anchovy rice, this is your order chicken rice.” Obviously while putting my order cat rice.
I cursed myself. Why do you always look so stupid in front of him, Aeera?
“So you asked us to open with each other, huh?”
“Neg. That's just a fad, yes fad.” Obviously me. I'm sure now Mas Raksa is holding back a laugh because of my stupid behavior.
“Yah. I'm disappointed. Though that's what I want so we can get closer.”
His words made me see his face looking at me with a smile. This serious? He's not kidding, is he?
“Why? You don't believe it?”
“So that you believe, you ask anything that makes your heart doubt.”
I'm silent for a moment. It doesn't feel good if Mas Raksa did this because he was forced to. My request is very presumptuous.
“Nevent gone, Mas. I don't feel good if you have to because I ask for something strange.”
“Not to think about, yes! I ate first.”
Yeah, nothing else, my heart actually hurts to say that. But how else? I was so careless for saying things I shouldn't have said.
“Hei,” his hand grip made my hand successfully stop from activity.
After a few months my heart never beats fast again. Finally tonight, he's back on active duty.
“I would also like for us to open up to each other. So that we may know each other more and more. But, I have not dared to reveal it.”
“Do you still think all my sayings are just jokes?”
His gaze was so sharp it pierced my bead. My body shuddered at his words, as if hypnotized. Does he really want us to know each other better?
Freeze. My body sculpts. What do I have to answer?
I tried to take off his hand. “O, okay.” My answer is simple, because it is confused what to answer.
“Only, okay?” Ask.
“Bingung just answer what. I also laper.” My answer is, sorry my stomach slanders you.
“Okay, while eating.”
We opened the rice of each cat. Slowly eat up every order we have ordered.
“Where to start, yes?”
“What?” I'm confused.
“You have any questions maybe?”
I shook my head, “means no points.”
The Dih? Candaan.
I laughed a little, “try the Elvira.” problem story
He nodded, from the look of his face like he did not mind at all.
“Where to start?”
“Up to you. Lo who has a story.”
He dipped the iced tea a little, “from the beginning meet? We used to be a college. At first it wasn't close. But introduced by a friend who can be said to know all campus students.”
I read the whole story in silence.
“Ya has started from there know. Then it turns out we both like watching action movies. So we often make an appointment to watch together.”
You could say I'm a little bit jealous? “Ohh, se—frequency? Suitable anyway, why break up?”
Mas Raksa laughs crisply, “hahaha. You jealous? Take it easy, he's just my past that doesn't work.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to believe. Not effective but it could be two years, huh?
“We broke up? Yes, because he may be tired of hearing my story that the content is always about the special little boy continues.”
Me?
“That's a possibility? But if I decide him because it does feel my step to make him a lover is wrong.”
The look on my face seemed to indicate the question, why?
“Because, during my relationship with him, I always imagined about you. My heart and feelings cannot turn to Elvira. Either way, I feel guilty if the relationship continues.”
Makes sense. Maybe because the end of their relationship was not caused by a big conflict, so until now Elvira still could not let go of Mas Raksa.
“I panicked yesterday when I found out Elvira was meeting you.”
“Because I know, he will do everything he can to get what he wants.”
“Luckily you are not okay.”
Don't know him yet, if I fainted because of his ex.
“There are you hiding?”
I shook my head quickly, “not. I was just curious, why Elvira got all the way. It turns out that's the story.”
“Then, you with Echo?”
Mas Echoes? How's the condition, huh? I really don't feel good about rejecting her feelings. But I can't force my feelings.
“Gue equals Mas Gema near.”
“In fact, we met on the train. What a coincidence, anyway?”
“What do we not-do mate, yes, Mas?” Tanyaku. Intentionally to see his reaction. I honestly like to see him display jealousy.
“Amins. We, you mean you're with me, right?” This old man too. I laughed when I heard her words.
“Ihh. Really huge.”
“I mean tuh, I'm the same Mas Gema do not-don't mate?”
“Nih, yes. On the train meet. Keep one school. Kept—”
“So I don't want to hear your sayings.”
I saw him choose to eat a quail egg. It seems that his mood has changed quite drastically.
“Hahaha. You said open to each other? This is my story again, Mas.”
“Your story is not interesting.”
My lips were full of smiles seeing her sulking in jealousy. Is this really what they call falling in love with each other? Not just one-sided love? Real beautiful.
“Awas later cholesterol, remember age.” My grandfather watched him continue to chew on a quail egg.
“Continue, make people upset continue.”
I just laughed, before long he laughed too. Tonight was beautiful, wasn't it?
Who ever dreamed this beautiful night would come? Even I did not dare to fantasize about such a beautiful thing.
Could I still be dreaming?
If so, I don't want to wake up.
