The courage began to come

unexpected anger

rumbling in no direction

don't know why, 'cause it can't be dammed

Days pass quickly, seconds of time evaporate just like that. The taste fused to form a clot. Like sweet arum candy, colorful. Is that like love ?

What am I thinking ? This doesn't make any sense. I never thought that question would arise. It's definitely not me.

I never cared before, even the words of my best friend I always ignored. Since I didn't think it would change, I understood exactly who I was looking for and I expected. It wasn't him, and I'm sure he's going through the same thing. We just get carried away and feel comfortable with each other, and nothing more. Until finally there was one event that sounded ridiculous to me.

That afternoon after college, my daughter and I planned dinner together as usual. Suddenly the Princess's phone ringing rang, she picked up the phone call with one hand and started talking on the phone with someone across there.  The princess laughed out loud and mentioned my name. I frowned, curious. Then the princess stopped her phone call.

Who,Put?

Mas Bima's. He's taking us to dinner tonight

Oh yeah? In what order ? Tumbens

He's on his birthday today. And plan to treat us

Many seniors who come dong ?

Not really, there are friends of our generation.

Oh yes, SME Children ?

That's right, it doesn't matter, 'Del ?

It's okay, I'm used to them. Can adapt a little

Good, we go straight there.

Me and Princess bebrboncengan headed to one of the dining areas around the campus. Not far from the campus, look lesehan stall with a fairly simple tent. Cuisine here is very cheap, comparable to the pockets of students like us. Although cheap and simple, processed cuisine is not arbitrary, very suitable in our tongue which incidentally from various circles, either above , victorious or below all mingle here , enjoy the atmosphere and food available.

After parking the motor, we headed to a corner prayer equipped with a mat as the base, which means without tables and chairs. This is not the first time I came to this lesehan stall, this place became one of my favorite stalls and Princess, occasionally I invite Raka to eat in this place. Hmm, I suddenly thought about it, and I just remembered a few hours ago 'Then he sent me a message. I haven't returned it.

I said hello to Bima and some other friends. We mingled and started chatting, The princess was seen throwing jokes with the other kids. Mas Bima and I were just listeners, sometimes we denounced each other and made jokes. The atmosphere was quite crowded when we arrived, but it was not yet night and there were only two groups in the stall.

I ignored some incoming messages 'cause my phone vibrated every now and then. Until at the end of the day, it turns into an incoming call. From Raka , I'll start answering her calls, but my phone screen turns dark. Call's dead. 1 Missed call on screen. I opened the phone and there were 3 incoming messages from Raka.

Jm brp plg?

Del , where ?

Del , don't you bls?

I hurried to reply to her, and apologized for not replying immediately.

sorry Ka, I'm high school temen2ku, what's wrong?

Shortly after, a message was heard from my phone.

Eat with yuk, I jmpt

Sorry, I have mkn skrg

With who?

Princess and her boyfriend2

Oh.

After that I did not reply again, because it was fun to talk with Princess and Mas Bima. Until finally the ringtone of my phone rang loudly. I saw it and the name of Raka was there. I pressed the green button on my phone, but before long my phone screen went off. Raka turned off the phone. One Missed Call. Raka sent a message.

Beenang2lah's chat. Don't worry about your tmn jg klapran here.

Raka's angry. I don't get it. Am I wrong?. I told the Princess, she was a little surprised.

Raka was jealous, said the Princess.

Not likely.

It could be, Del. He hopes you bring him. But it's not possible either, it's the Bima mas event. Raka also did not know them. It will only make Raka awkward.

I'm thinking the same thing, too, Put. Will I go to the boarding house, huh?

Wh-wh-what for? Apologizing? Invite him to eat? Maybe he is eating now.

Just making sure. Did I make a mistake for him.

It's up to you, Del. Soon it seems we are done too. If you want to go there first it's okay. Just use my bike.

I'm nodding. Take the key of the Princess motorbike and say goodbye to Bima mas and other friends. Bima did not mind. The princess hinted at something to Bima mas, I do not understand what it is. Mas Bima smiled, then said thank you to me.

I walked quickly to the parking lot, started the engine and headed to Raka's boarding house. On the way, I didn't think of anything, I didn't care if Raka would laugh or anything to see me meet her. But when I got there, I hesitated to step up, not knowing what I was doing right now. I don't know what to tell Raka. I'm just pacing around in front of his boarding house.

Suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder. I looked over and Raka stood there. He was carrying a small black plastic bag. Princess's right. I don't know why I cursed myself in my heart. I don't have to get to the boarding house. Raka looked at me with a questioning expression.

Adel, what are you doing here?

Ah, that's. I wave, don't know what to say. He looks good, not like he's upset.

Del, call him again.

Why?, ask. Oh my God, I feel like I want to hit this guy in front of me. He could have asked.

Your message, I said again without seeing it.

Adelia, I'm here. You should see your opponent when you say something.

I looked towards him, as if like a robot that can command from its master. Gets stiff. His face was smiling, and then he laughed. I snorted in annoyance.

Why are you laughing? what's so funny?

You came here because of my message? You worried?

You reckon? you freak, should you write a message like that?

I'm not lying, Del. I'm so hungry.

Oh my God, he only thinks about his stomach. I really wanted to throw my helmet in his face.

It seems like you are not hungry anymore. Then I'll just go home. Sontak Raka pulled my hand.

Uh wait-wait. All right I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been upset like that.

I was silent, waiting for him to speak. Explain.

Yes, I was upset earlier, I wanted to eat with you as usual, but you just went alone with your friends without telling me.

The Princess's guess was right. I looked at him again with a questioning expression.

Don't look at me like that, Del. Don't think the no-no.

I laugh. For now I let him not explain why he is like that. Maybe he just wanted to see me as usual. But still, all the things about Raka made me even more curious. One of them is his attitude now. He will tell everything later.

I don't think anything. You should now go in and eat before your food gets cold.

Oh yes, I forgot. My hunger is gone for seeing you come here

Raka, please don't tease me anymore.

I'm not flirting.

Ah already, I'm home huh.

I take ya?

No need, I'll bring my own bike.

It's okay, I'm with you from behind.

No need, then I pushed him towards the gate. Then turn around and turn the motor back on to go home.

Arriving in the room. Cellphone's ringing. Raka called. I hurried to lift him up.

Hello, your queen did it arrive safely?

I laughed hearing that.

Yes, king. Monkey king.

Oh thank goodness then. What is the monkey king? Oh it's okay, this is a great ape from a rock mountain.

I laughed out loud.

Adel, don't laugh I'll love.

I'm speechless. Stop laughing while covering my mouth with my own hands.

Raka sounded satisfied laughing.

Raka, why are you laughing so hard? I will be in love too, you know. My reply. I swallowed for a moment after saying it. He was silent, there was no reply from there. Pretty long. I'm controlling.

Raka, you're not asleep, are you?. There's no answer.

Okay, I'm closing, okay? Good night Raka's.

Adel wait. I canceled my intention.

Yeah, what's up?

It seems, that sense is starting to exist.

I'm shocked. He said something I wasn't ready to hear. But there's relief there. Raka started talking again.

I don't know when it feels like it's there, it's just that I'm happy to spend time with you.

Yes, save it first, make sure first. L waited. I said that sentence fluently, unbluntly.

All right, well rest Adelia.

Ja.

Raka hung up. I looked in the mirror, my face flushed like a boiled crab. Lucky Raka's not here to see my face right now. He'll tease me again. I cleaned up and prepared to go to sleep. That night I slept very soundly, as if some relief had been revealed.
