Back from Dreams

it all just happened

like a dream in a hole

gone in an instant

hope is useless, it is useless

time to stop

then get up

Yesterday's incident was a valuable lesson for me, no need to remember, let alone repeat it. My curiosity paid off already, not him. I was overwhelmed by his attention. He was good at flipping my heart, taking me so far up that in the end he knocked me down quickly, no slippage.

My best friend, the Princess often comforted me after the incident, she felt guilty for giving way when she initially opposed. According to him, his true feelings were never wrong just that he was also slightly complacent.

I'm not feeling excited, this morning's college was boring. Many times I yawned while listening to the lecturer's explanation. I don't understand what he's explaining up front. Concentration's down. Anxious to see the clock in hand, as if time were going very slowly. Uninspiring. I can't concentrate at all, considering today I'm in class with Dody. He has no guilt at all. He acted very calmly as if nothing had happened. I tried not to think about it anymore , maybe just a few days ago it happened , it was quite natural for me to feel annoyed as long as it did not drag on, because it was useless I regretted it. The feeling will end quickly.

My BBM screen was on, there was a message inside, I opened it lazily but at least a little entertainment. Expect important messages instead of broadcast messages is not important because lately a lot of broadcast spam is coming into BBM. The message was from Raka.

Lu manyun mulu lips, ga delicious look.

I laughed reading it, I just realized he was also in this class . I looked around, he was sitting by the classroom wall, far enough across from my seat. One line. He was paying attention to the bored explanation of the lecturer in front of the class. Sometimes I see him yawn. It was obvious that he was also bored with this class. I started typing the message, replying to it.

My lips are sexy tau (lip emoticons). Klu mw tdr dikosan. Nguap. 

I pressed the send button. A few seconds later we exchanged messages. No attention to today's class.

I'm really bored. Km jg kn ? Gtu bete. Bner right ?

I dunno 

The jls bgt.

Do you know dr mna ?

I also tryta. 

The raka! Don't be so smart to know.

Ak knows. Just a story here

Nook. I want to know about km

Wiz 

Bodo. 

Udh. BSk mlm yes 

Whynot?

The debt of crita 

How can?

Mandatory stories.

I did not reply again to Raka's last message because the lecturer started giving assignments. We struggled with assignments until the end of class hours, probably because the lecturer realized that his students were getting tired of listening to him tell stories. It was the job that kept our class busy.

2 Hours had passed and the class had been dissolved. Me and the Princess sat on the bench outside the classroom garden. The afternoon was rame, the park benches were filled with students who had just finished class and there were some new ones coming because they were going to start the next class. All gathered together into one in this garden, joking. Today I met the Princess' friends. They come from the same area or city as Putri , Sundanese and Betawi dialects are thick. The clothes they wear tend to be simple and cute. They were fun and supple, only one day I met them, but we seemed to have met before. They are softer and easy to get along with. Fun to joke with them, look not irritable because they tend to be careless children, but that does not mean they do not care about one another. They're very friendly.

Time shows at 10:00, it does not feel we have been here for 1 hour . I looked around, I didn't find Raka there. I just remembered , I haven't replied to Raka's message before. Then I started to reply to the message.

Raka dmn's ?

15 Minutes later my BBM rang. I opened it while half-running after the Princess who was calmly leading me to the motorcycle parking lot.After arriving at the parking lot, I replied again.

Knp? Kangen sma ak ?

Very pede. I mw tnya bsk mlm what is it ? 

Forgot ?

how did you forget ? km gmn ?

Eh telmi. Km who forgot. ckckck

Jeez bgt blg ak telmi T_T

:D telly base, slender forgetful. 

Raka ap anyway ?T_T

Bsk 7 hours jmpt km, telmi.

Whynot?

Raka did not reply again after that . I completely forgot what I had made a previous agreement with him .

 Put, you know what ?

What the hell is it, Del? All of a sudden, you're not clear. Telmis

Princess, you're just like Raka, saying I'm late. I sulked leaving the Princess.

The princess approached while riding her motorcycle.

Yes Del, that's it. What happened to Raka? He jahilin you again?

I stopped and rode right behind the Princess' motorcycle. He was quite shocked because I acted suddenly.

Come on, I said to him

Well, queen, he said to me.

You know, Raka said tomorrow she'd pick me up at the boarding house. Did I ever make a deal to go with him?

Where do I know. You never told me about that. You ask Raka yourself.

He didn't answer, just said he wanted to pick up tomorrow at 7.

Surprise maybe.

In what order ? it's not my birthday, Put.

Wait a moment, by the way birthday, last week it looks like Raka's birthday.  I saw a reminder on Facebook.

I fell silent and I remembered that day right when I met Dody was Raka's birthday. I sent Raka a message that day but after that I didn't reply to her. And a few days before me and the Princess had broken it and she said she wanted to take me somewhere, and that day was tomorrow.

****

Raka parked his bike in front of a Japanese ornate restaurant. The restaurant is a traditional Japanese house. In some corners of the room there are bamboo ornaments. The benches are long of wood, and there are several rooms provided by lesehan with covered mats of fingers on the ceramic floor. We chose to sit on a wooden bench that was provided. It was my first time to visit a Japanese restaurant and it was the first thing for me to try Japanese foods like sushi, shabu-shabu and ramen , the type of Japanese food that is quite famous and expensive for me is an ordinary student with thin pockets.

Raka started ordering food. I don't know which food is delicious and can be tried, I finally asked Raka to choose it.

Del, what do you want to order ?

Hmm whatever, I follow you. I don't know what's good and what's not.

Sure enough? nyesel will already know the food if I choose

Raka honestly I'm just the first time, don't try to prank me again or you'll regret inviting me because I didn't eat 'em, and the food is so redundant.

Raka laughed at my response. Then say a sentence that surprised me.

You know, I was also here for the first time and tried Japanese food.

He spoke softly beside me. Half whispered.

Then why did you bring me here?

Wanting to impress you a little, he whispered in my ear

I didn't answer him and looked straight at him. He looked at me and started smiling. I smiled and looked back at the menu book I was carrying. I don't understand why my heart suddenly felt like it was jumping up and down when I heard the answer. I held back, convinced myself not to be fooled again. Don't fall for the umpteenth time.

Del, don't overtime daydream it.

All right, I choose yes, calm I've been searching on google really, guaranteed safe that I choose.

just watch out, if you make me sick to my stomach.

Kalem , Del.

He laughed again. I remember a few days ago and the purpose he had brought me here. Practicing this food for the first time.

Raka, happy birthday yes, sorry I'm late.

Oh, you remember it too.

All I remember is, last week I asked you to treat me and now you're keeping it

So what's important is that ?

Sure oes.

All right, I'll remember if you want a free one.

Gratsan is classy. Remember that. Not carelessly dong, I said while laughing quite loudly. Raka laughed and suddenly her hands ruffled my hair. I stopped laughing and snorted in annoyance. He's been ruffling my hair for a long time and making my hairdo fall apart.

Why the hell can't his mouth be conditioned ? Always manyun.

Just leave it alone

I have always been troubled by your face like this.

Wh why? any issues?

Sure oes. You ruined my view.

There is no need to see if you do not like it

I've been disturbed and plus curious, can it be longer ?

Raka! , I beat her shoulders brutally.

I was always annoyed by his words that bullied me, but on the other hand sometimes I miss his figure who bullies me. He was always full of things I couldn't figure out, like today.

Today paid off, 'Del. I have kept my promise.

I never asked for it.

Delia, a few minutes ago you just reminded me right ?

What is it ? I forgot

Basic, already telly plus forgetful. Complete deh.

Bodo is very, very important I am full. Don't think, I wish you.

Then what is this ?

It's dong's obligation.

Oh, now get smart ya you, Del. My education has not been in vain all this time.

You're always so arrogant

It's not arrogant, but confident

Yes, trust yourself excessively.

You also admit that I am confident.

Jeez Raka, I was surprised to meet a creature like you.

You should be grateful, Del. Rarely are. I care so much about you bringing me here and knowing this is your first time here. Aye right?

Just as you like.

I could never win arguing with him. I came back curious about the reason for bringing me here, and just the two of you. As far as I know, he could have taken anyone to this place, if he really thought of me as an ordinary friend. We just came together on the grounds that he had just celebrated his birthday, why not with the crowd, like with his boarding friends or other close friends. Why did he choose to be alone with me?, or perhaps he did not have enough money to treat his other friends, if that was the reason , I have no problem being in an ordinary place that fits the budget of overseas students. In this place alone we can both eat to treat 5 people in roadside stalls/kakilima.

After returning from the resto , Raka drove me right in front of the boarding house.the time showed at 09:0 p.m. The alley around the boarding house was quite quiet, I took him to the terrace. That night there were only children. There are no guards or owners. The curfew is a free hour. Any clock we can go back to the boarding house, because each has a gate key. Raka leaned her back on the chair, looking exhausted. I gave him the cold drink I had. He took a soft sip, then leaned back on the chair.

Is it exhausting to take me away?

He was shocked then confirmed his sitting position, somewhat strapping.

It's pretty exhausting arguing with you, Del.

But you enjoyed it

She laughs. You're not calling, Del

Start again

All right, I'll just go home then

My disease is contagious to you huh

He broke his intention. Then began to tell about the photography competition that some time ago he followed. The Japanese restaurant was the place where he got the champion of photography hope. He wanted to celebrate his birthday and his victory there and for the first time he won. The reason why he asked me to remain a question for me was because I refrained from asking, I did not want to fall asleep and just assumed that Raka needed a friend no more than that ,considering the past few months we've been pretty close.

It didn't feel like we were talking for 1 hour. Raka started saying goodbye and felt bad if too long chatting at the boarding house.

I'm going home first, Del

Yes, be careful. Thank you again.

You're welcome, Del.

Raka started to get out of her seat and walked towards her parking her bike, but she suddenly stopped right in front of me. I hit his back and complained. He turned and looked at me.

Del, there's one thing that makes me curious

What ? Because I'm a manyun again? of course, I suddenly stopped and my face hit you. Be ill.

Oh, sorry-sorry, I did it on purpose. He laughed loudly and continued his curiosity.

I wonder why yesterday you looked upset in Mr. Sudibyo's class? You have a grudge with Mr Sudibyo?

Your question is not important. I don't want to answer

Come on, Del. You promised to tell me, don't let me not sleep because of this.

That's your problem.'ve gone home

And you know what else makes me more curious ?your irritated look you've turned to Dody, coincidentally or intentionally ? What's up with you guys?

Oh I understand now throughout the class Sudibyo sir you even pay attention to me huh ? All right, but sorry I wasn't touched let alone impressed.

Delia isn't so, tell me

You're this. Gossip deh , I want to go to room , whether you want to go home or not, I don't care.

I started walking away leaving him. No matter, then he pulled my hand.

All right, I'm not asking anymore. I'm saying yes, 'Delia telmi.

I just shut up and let it go. He turned on his motor and walked out of the boarding house. Waving her hand slowly and smiling once again looked at me. I saw him coming out while I closed the gate. Let him wonder.
