Two things are always certain in this world.
Rising and sinking of the sun. Time that never shifts. The same atmosphere and the same sky. Color that never changes a bit. Very beautiful color combination. Between those two things, I always enjoy the dawn. Like a new hope. Dew that soaks the leaves is a soothing aroma. Morning time. Bright blue sky color. Good omen. I hope that.
I lay my body on a long bench in front of the boarding house. My body is full of sweat. Morning sports, just running around the housing complex. Quite refreshing. I often do it once a week, if there is no schedule to go home to the yard. For 1 hour I went around the housing complex. The atmosphere is beautiful and warm. The road looks very quiet. Now I refresh my dry throat after running. My phone rings. The name Raka is there.
Hello
Hello, del. Good mornings.
Good mornings. What was? Too early to call
Do I have to call only if there's something?
I smile.
I'm asking for answers not questions, Raka.
Alright. You are busy today, aren't you?
No. gabe. Wh why?
Willing to accompany me?
Whither?
Adel. Don't answer my question with a question
So what's the problem? I held back my laughter. Tempted slightly.
Raka sounded out sighing.
I need a yes and no answer. Simple right?
Of course I should know. Where we're going. I also need to be a little wary even if we know each other. Evil no one ever knows.
Do I look like a bad guy? I believe God drew my face very well and carefully.
You're too confident. Everyone's face and heart are different.
Are we going to keep arguing about this?
Wh why? L like it.
All right, I assume that's the answer that you're willing to. I know you can't refuse me.
Raka, just as you please. You always dominate
You're too convoluted, Del.
Raka laughed from across the street. He was satisfied to tease me. Once more.
I'll pick you up in 1 hour. I'm sure it's enough time to shower and dress up.
See again you dictate to me.
I snorted in annoyance and was about to turn off the phone, but instead he turned off the phone first. Raka sent me a message.
Adel jgn lama2, no need to dress up, krn km trview sm only.:D >_^:P
I grumbled. Annoyed by the message he sent. Always teasing me and by myself. I want her hair. With a shunt step I went back to the room and prepared myself. Raka only gave me an hour. How can a girl get ready for a date in just an hour. Wait for. A date?. Arghh I must be crazy, if I consider this a date after what he told me 3 days ago. Is she going to ask me out?. I shook my head. Throwing that thought away.Step my foot into the bathroom.
An hour passed, and I saw my shadow reflected. Long jeans and plain white t-shirts have been attached to my body. Ethnic necklace dark brown color I added so as not to be too empty. A touch of thin makeup adorned my face, not forgetting I put lipgloss on my lips so as not to pale. My bedroom door was knocked from the outside. The knock came from Tyas, a boarding friend.
Brother Adel, in front of the big brother fans has come. Cie, who's on a date early in the morning.
Tyas.
What the hell, Yas. No one wants a date.
Dating is okay, too. Singles are free.
Take a shower, you smell so bad.
Tyas pursed his lips. Walk lazily towards his room
I hurried to get my cardigan and my bag. Walk out to Raka. When I got outside, I was quite surprised. No. gabe. I was so surprised. Raka is not alone. There was someone I really didn't want to meet. With an indifferent look I kept walking towards Raka. Raka smiled to see me.
Adelia. The man's voice echoed in my ears.
I turned towards him without saying.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I looked back at Raka.
It'sit's okay. I'll be waiting. He wants to say something.
I hinted that I didn't want to see him.
Raka pushed me slowly and asked me to agree to her invitation. I walked towards the man.
I don't have much time. Speak immediately.
Thank ye.
The man began to speak.
I'm sorry about what happened between us. I know I was wrong to bring you into that situation. I shouldn't have made you have hope that I could never repay. I'm sorry to put you on an impingement and so easily move from you to another woman. I'm sorry I didn't think about how you felt at the time. At that time I just broke up and felt that everything seemed unfair because I acted without thinking. I realized everything. I'm sorry, Adel. I can see that you are very sincere. I shouldn't have hurt you.
That man is Dodi. A few months ago, I cut off contact with her, after I saw her with her message dating another woman. Exactly the day before, she made me feel like a lucky girl that knew her already. And believe that he has the same feelings as me. It turns out that it was all wrong. My feelings were wrong and her attention was fake. For some reason at this time I am not passionate about scolding him, just want me to get him out of my sight. Feelings change. I don't care about him. Numbness. I began to convey what I felt at this moment.
I've forgotten everything. But I still can't think of it as I used to when we first met. Whatever your reasons, for me what you do is not right. Not for me but for all the women who might have put a lot of feeling and hope in you. I do not want to regret it, with this I can be more careful guessing my feelings. Thank you for telling me. We better not know each other anymore. I gotta go.
Dodi didn't say any more words and didn't stop me from leaving. He just smiled and extended his hand. I returned his hand, then turned towards Raka.
We go first, Dod.
Yeah, be careful of you. Have fun's.
Raka started riding her bike towards the streets. I was silent and either Raka was conscious or not. I felt my hands curled up on her waist. I noticed it and slowly pulled my hand. I don't know when my hand was there. But quickly, Raka prevented my hand and pulled it back in its previous position. I was shocked and did not reject it. He slightly turned his face back and said.
Don't take it off, Del. If you want to lean. Lean on me.
I smiled and did not argue. I buried my head on his back. Comfortable. I feel like a little bit of my burden has been lifted. Raka continued to drive his motorbike through the streets that began to solid. I don't know, where he's taking me.
Previously in front of Adelia's room.
I arrived exactly 1 hour after I called Adel. Arriving there, I saw someone standing in front of the gate. He's Dodi. What the hell is he doing here?. I stopped my bike, after Dodi spoke to one of the boarding kids. He turned around to look at me, and was quite surprised to see my arrival.
You alone?. He turned around asking me.
I have an appointment with Adel.
Adelia?, she asked.
Yes Adelia. Wh why? Who are you looking for?
I also want to meet Adelia.
What's the need?
Want to clear up misunderstandings.
Misunderstand it?
Dodi nodded, but I did not understand what was called the misunderstanding. I did not continue to ask, because after that the sound of the gate blew our minds. Adel get out of there. He was very surprised to see both of us. His face showed annoyance. Then he smiled as he walked towards me. Dodi approached him and asked him to speak. Adel looked at me as if asking for my approval. I nodded and invited him. I don't understand what happened to both of them. The serious face look clear. But it didn't last long. Adel firmly said he did not want to know Dodi. And Dodi accepted it even with a disappointed look.
Adel ran slowly towards me and left Dodi, hinting me to leave immediately.
We go first, Dod.
Yeah, be careful of you. Have fun's.
Along the way out of the complex area, I realized one thing. Adelia put her hand on my side without me telling her to. But when he regained his senses, he tried to pull his hand slowly. I prevented his hand and restored his previous position. I felt like she needed something to lean on, which is why I volunteered.
Don't take it off, Del. If you want to lean. Lean on me.
I felt my back a little heavy, but it was also warm. Adel was obedient to my words and along the way he just fell silent leaning on my back. I longed to ask what the truth is, but I held back and it would be better if he would open himself up to me. I want to make it better. I didn't like the look on his face earlier in front of the boarding house. Angrily. Since when do I feel my heart ache when I see it like that. I like his warm and calm face. From the beginning I have labeled it like the sun, although sometimes it also looks like dew. The sun and dew are a beautiful blend at dawn. Dew will look shiny when exposed to sunlight, although it will disappear in time along with the height of the sun.But there is always a beautiful hue in it.
I drove his bike to one of the highest places in town. Actually it is better at night because it can see the starlight and the lights below it. But today I want to show you the best sky spot in the city.
Once there I parked my vehicle in the wrong corner of the parking lot. Quite shady and not directly exposed to the heat of the sun. Adel came down and his face looked confused.
Raka, where is this?
Hows it? Good right?
Yeah, I just found out there's a place like this here. But how lonely huh? Aman isn't it ?
Relax,Del. It's been well managed. It's better than last semester.
Have you been here before?
Yes, this is the second time. Yuk up there. I want to show you something.
***
Adelia and Raka walked towards the stairs that led to the top of the place. Sometimes Raka pricks him. Leaving Adelia below. Seen face annoyed Adel because it looks like the stairs are not exhausted, thought Adel. Adel felt that he had walked very far from the parking lot, but the peak was also still visible far from his sight.
Raka wait!. Adel half yelled. Raka stopped and looked down.
Gosh darn. This is only halfway through, Del. Come onl. Don't be like a turtle.
It's noisy!. Adel then runs after Raka. When we got to Raka. Adel hit Raka's arm hard. Raka.
Stay a little while longer, the peak is already visible.
Gendong raka.
I'm just gonna, anyway . Here.
Raka stretched out her hand like she was about to carry the bride. Adelia refused and stuck out her tongue, then left Raka behind.
Arriving at the top, Adelia adjusted her breathing while looking around. He felt it was not in vain to have to walk up the many steps.
Hows it? Beautiful isn't?.
Hugely. Raka why just brought me here, sih. Keep this place as good as it is.
I'm waiting for the right time, Del. Raka half-whispered and Adelia did not hear him clearly, as it coincided with a gust of wind.
Raka, what are you talking about? Don't whisper.
Ah , you are this. Where have you been all this time? Try to look out further. Too long imprisoned at the boarding house and campus, anyway.
Raka rubbed it while pinching Adel's cheeks. Adel groaned, and retorted tickling Raka. They seem to laugh together. The peak was not visible to many visitors. Some people take shelter in a saung provided by the park manager. At the top there is a flower garden in bloom. Chrysanthemum Flowers. And there's a pool of springs there. Down there lay pematang rice fields and far there are visible residential and urban residents. Pematang rice fields are flourishing and green trees refresh the eyes.
Raka and Adel then decided to take shelter in one of the empty saung. A few snacks and drinks he brought. Adel did not have time to prepare because Raka did not say his purpose. Raka took some pictures from that angle while checking the results of the previous photos that she used to photograph Adel. Raka sees Adel rubbing his arm, as it feels cold. The sun was shining brightly, his hamgat still felt. It's just that the strong wind blows the atmosphere to cold. Raka approaches Adel, starting to keep him warm. In a conscious state, Raka hugged Adel from behind. Raka's actions suddenly make Adel touched, but still in the same position. Adel does not refuse, and Raka hugs him long enough. In silence they looked at the scene before their eyes.
Rabbet. Call Adel
Hmm
I'm warm enough.
It's like this soon.
Adelia nodded slowly, obeying Raka.
Adel, if you have a problem, you can tell me. I didn't want to guess it, but saw you with Dodi this morning. Reminds me of last semester.
Adelia took off Raka's embrace and turned towards her. The look on his face was shocked, as Raka recalled when Adel was lazy to talk about Dodi back then. The question that Adelia has never answered.
My guess is right, right? There is something between you.
I don't want to talk about it.
The Adelia I know is not vengeful. I'm sure he can forgive.
You are always confident in your every word. How much do you know about me?.
I knew enough, until I could be sure that his personality impressed me and fell in love.
Adelia looked back at Raka in disbelief. Raka did the same, looking into Adel's eyes and showing his sincerity.
Raka, your words just now?
Raka held Adel's hands together, and looked deeper into his eyes. There's seriousness there. Adel was shocked and did not know what to say.
Yes, I knowingly said it, Del. And I've confirmed my feelings as you said earlier that night. This is my true feeling. I really fell in love with your sincerity.
Adel withdrew his hand, then silenced his own mouth. She did not believe that Raka would show her feelings. Right now in the most beautiful place that Adel had just come to. Adel has not been able to understand the situation that is happening, and does not know what to respond to. Feeling happy.
I won't force you to retaliate now. I'll do the same. Awaiting you. I just wanted to explain my attitude towards you all along. But I won't demand, we have a long time and I believe it will be time for us.
Adelia nodded. Smiling at Raka's earnestness and patience. Raka is well aware that Adelia is confused by Raka's sudden statement. Raka tried to melt the atmosphere, not long after that they returned to joking like before. Adel did not feel burdened. She thought, Maybe now is the time to open her heart and convince her feelings for Raka. Raka went back and started telling stories. Adelia opens up and tells her what really happened between her and Dodi. Raka understood and was happy that Adel finally wanted to open up.
