FINDING WORK IS DIFFICULT?
Revealing Each Other's Flavors
"Ma-you mean?" Alma asked nervously, wanting to be sure.
"You don't want when we're both late on the first day of entry? I like you from the moment our hands accidentally touched"
Ah that day of course Alma remembered, even remembered very well. A day that Alma would never forget, even though at that time his heart had not felt any strange feelings for Numbers. But Alma felt a sigh as their hands touched.
That day too Figures felt something he had never felt before, the feeling thumped when he was just 13 years old but Figures could interpret that he liked the cute girl in front of him at that time. First sight and first love. But Numbers was too stiff, so all he could do was stare at Alma from afar. Observing all the actions and expressions that the girl did, cute and innocent. So thought the Numbers.
"I really want to realize my feelings as if you were in 3rd grade, I was ready for my courage at that time but because Nina was telling a fact that turned out to be a lie. At that time my spirit immediately disappeared and ended up back again nimpen feelings I made you"
Numbers shook his shoulders, that day he remembered once he had bought chocolate for Alma. He was already confident that he would be accepted, because Figures knew that Alma also liked him so the young man dared to express his feelings.
But because of the arrival of Nina who brought the news less fun to make the courage that has been long enough to collect numbers immediately disappear.
"You like me, why are you dating Sasmita? As a man you should accept whatever my answer is, even if it hurts you"
"I'm dating Sasmita because she has a lot of similarities with you, this is a bit evil for Sasmita who does not know anything but I just want to try to move on from you by looking for a new person whose personality is at least somewhat similar to yours. At least even though at the beginning I consider him as you but over time I will definitely be able to love him as himself. It's all just a matter of time" The figure sighed for a moment before returning to the test.
"But in fact I failed, I can't get you out of my mind. When dating Sasmita, I called him Mita, so it looks like your last name. Whatever you do I always want to see and I can't get my attention from you"
"You may say I'm evil but everything is out of my control Al, I can't lose my feelings. Even when we graduated, I still know about you, when you don't come to the reunion I always ask why you can't come when I really hope you exist and I can squirm you again but it turns out you never came"
Unknowingly, Alma's tears trickled down, she always refused to come to the reunion because she wanted to avoid the numbers because Alma was afraid of her feelings melting again and again hoped, hoping, but Alma did not expect that this man was waiting for her with much hope that they could meet again. The Angkara Gautama he loved was always waiting for him to come.
"Until the end after a long time no see, God is still kind to me. We met again accidentally, even though we haven't seen you in years but I can still recognize you as if my eyes and mind already have their own radar to find out where you are"
Figures turned to Alma and smiled sweetly, his hand moving to wipe away Alma's tears.
"I really want Al to spend a lot of time with you, go for a walk, watch movies with you and many other things. But I didn't have that chance before"
Alma immediately hit the figure's hug, she cried either happy crying because she finally knew that her love did not clap one hand or sad because she only knew this fact after so many years.
The number of returning the hug was no less tight, he was relieved now. The thing that he had been saying for a long time now, Figures are very grateful for today. Looks like the numbers will record it as a historic day.
"Over the years we've been feeling each other, I'm stupid, too, I should have dared myself at graduation to express my feelings for you. Not even stupidly let myself dissolve in curiosity about how you feel to me"
"It's been our destiny Al, I don't care if it matters now that you know how I feel and I know how you feel"
They dissolved in their arms until Alma finally regained consciousness, she took off the hug quickly, wiping away her tears. The numbers changed his look to be confused. Although Alma knew that Numerals also held a taste in him but it seemed they were not meant to be together, Alma realized that whenever the Numbers could not be had because the man belonged to Renata. Fiancee.
"Why Al?" Asked Figures confused, Alma paused for a moment to turn his gaze away from the Numbers before replying.
"You didn't forget, did you? if you have Renata. He's your potential fiancee, even though we already know each other's feelings but don't close the fact that you now belong to Renata"
"Sir Al, I don't love Renata, our engagement is just a stupid promise I made to Renata's mother. I never agreed with this engagement but my mother who always meant it, even papah I did not like Renata because she knew what bad things she often did"
"But you're ready for the date and the event for your engagement, you can't defy your mother to be with me, ka" Figures holds Alma's hand tightly.
"That's why we work together, huh? We're looking for a way to let my mom cancel this engagement, I don't want to regret Al anymore. I've met you and know how you feel about me. I won't be a fool anymore by letting you go"
Alma was speechless, she was weighing whether to agree to Number's suggestion or go back to being a coward by pretending again?
Alma breathed a rough breath, this will be a decision that will change their lives.
"O-okay, let's try it together. But I beg you not to be too rude with your mother, I'm sure if you are being kind to your mother long you must be withered"
Hearing that Figures smiled happily and nodded, he made a 'yes' gesture without a sound making Alma chuckle at him. So happy is he?
"I'm going to use this opportunity, I don't know what's going to happen in the future. But I'm sure if you're all going to be all right, we'll try to slow down to maluhy me huh?" Alma nodded, they hugged back. It seems that after this Alma will experience many things that he has never experienced, but as the numbers say if they are together hopefully all will be okay.
Alma's eyes glanced at the clock that showed at 10:10 p.m., it was time for them to sleep. Alma doesn't want Numbers to wake up late tomorrow. Alma took off their embrace and again the face of the figure was like not willing.
"Liat hour, it's time to sleep later you can wake up late if you sleep too late"
"I'm not a kid Al, there's an alarm anyways" Alma shook her head, that's because he knew that the slightest alarm would not wake up the number of his eyes even more tightly closed as if the sound of the alarm clock was a lullaby for him.
"No, sleep now. There you go in the room, let me sleep here"
"You alone in the room let me on this sofa the air is cold again you can catch a cold"
"Keep you feel like that steel man who can't catch a cold, too?"
"I'm not gonna get sick easily, get in there"
In the end, Alma relented, so he went to clean the dirty dishes and glasses on the table and to the kitchen to wash them for a while before entering the room.
When he had just broken down, the door of the Number room opened from the outside. Numbers entered with a whim, leaving the door open.
"I'm gonna grab a blanket of equal bolsters"
Alma saw the man grab a blanket in the closet and take one weed on the mattress, by the way Alma was not used to sleep hugging the weed he was more unable to sleep without a pillow. Instead of immediately leaving after retrieving the required items, the Numbers instead approached Alma.
What Alma did not expect, the man kissed his forehead!
"Good night Al, may you have a good dream"
