First Love "In April"

SQUARES

"We eat yuk this time" said Raidil while drinking his drink.

"mmm.can" I said.

"have come" he said while standing from his sitting position earlier.

" Hah now" I asked as I looked towards him and directly finished my drink.

"heem anyways I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with them" he said by glancing back.

" geliatin you continue" he added in a soft voice.

I smiled faintly at Raidil's words I faintly heard in my ear.

I stood up, and we left the park bench and brought the old drink glass to the trash and walked towards the Raidil motorbike in the parking lot.

"bay Rii" cried Aldi, it was the name he called earlier while waving his hand.

hearing that shout, Raidil turned his head towards her with a slightly huffed look.

" do not mind" I said slowly and spontaneously my hand held Raidil's wrist.

"let's go " said Raidil who then held my hand and walked faster to leave the place, I just silently followed the motion of Raidil.

My gaze continued to be fixed on my hand held tightly by Raidil, my legs stepped in tandem with Raidil's steps in front of me, we walked towards Raidil's motorbike in the parking lot.

"ayo Rii" said softly while putting a helmet on my head.

I just nodded in response to her question and accepted her gentle behavior even if only she had put a helmet on my head,

and then we left the park.

Throughout the journey my head did not stop thinking about the small attitudes that Raidi showed me, only with that all he was able to make my heart beat at any moment,

sometimes I smile with that in mind.

" why Ri's smile?" asked Raidil to me who had been watching me through the rearview mirror of his motorcycle.

I was ashamed to know that he saw my behavior.

After that I kept hiding behind the helmet he was wearing so he couldn't see me.

After a long journey, Raidil's motorbike turned to a cafe and stopped there.

"Lhoh this?" For a moment I was stunned to see where Raidil was taking me to eat.

" The cafe that night we met, still remember" he said with a smile.

" Heem is still dong" I replied to Raidil's smile.

We went in and ate there, sat together where we used to be when we met on Expo night.

While waiting for the order to come, Raidil occasionally stared at me with a warm gaze.

" why?" My words are soft.

Without answering, Raidil brought his hand closer to my forehead and tidied up a bit of my hair that was breaking apart,

I went back into a tight silence to receive a simple treatment from Raidil.

"don't do this" I said in my heart unable to evade his attitude towards me.

"sometimes I forget, that maybe in the world many women are prettier than you Rii, but for now my eyes are only fixed in one direction and that's you Rii" said Raidil with his eyes staring at me.

" means you can change dong sometime" I said with a smile on his feet.

Raidil just laughed hearing what I said.

After the food came, we immediately ate it while in tandem with small talk.

" i'm sorry you can only eat here" Raidil said.

" i don't mean rich people who ngajaknya dating her eat in special places" said Raidil.

" if you eat on the side of the road is also special" chirped me without brakes,

Raidil found me with a big smile on his lips, and I could only bow down in shame at what I said just now.

" Ri. rii. you can get away with it, break your self-esteem" I said in my heart while biting my lips with tightly closed eyes.

" so sweet really Rii" ledek Raidil on me.

" what the hell" I said in a slightly unsettled tone.

Raidil just laughed at my behavior that could not defend.

"where have we been?" ask Raidil to me.

" it's up to me to follow" I said.

" to the square?" bargained for.

" Can" I said.

Finished with the food we left the cafe, all the way to the town square my mind floated and drifted away on the bike with Raidil.

My eyes were on her broad back shoulder and the same perfume I felt the last time Raidil took me home.

I can't explain anymore how happy I was to spend time with him today.

The sky began to darken, the street lights began to light up beautify the atmosphere around the Square, Me and Raidil sat together on a chair on the edge of the Square facing the highway.

Then-pass the vehicle in front of us into a simple view as sweetening our night, a bright night sky adds to the night that we passed.

"Rii.thank you I want to take the road" said Raidil while staring at the front looking at the passing vehicle.

"i don't think you want to" he added.

"and I'm grateful you're the first person to walk the same path as me" he said.

I looked back at him, "the first one is real" I said briefly.

" Hmmm" said Raidil with a questioning gaze looking at me

" you are also the first to walk, the first to hold my hand, the first to send me home, and the first to make my heart beat with your simple treatments" say it while smiling.

" you say it's rich menjawab all my statements yesterday "he said with hopeful eyes.

" Well" I said a little embarrassed.

I felt a tremendous nervousness for what I said to Raidil.

"so all this time." he asked who then I bulkhead.

" he em. what are you feeling, I also feel" I said with a heavy tone of voice holding back nervousness.

"When you said everything yesterday, I wanted to, too, but it was quite difficult for me to express everything" I added.

I ventured to look at Raidil, and I saw Raidil smiling.

" ahh for a long time if you see Raidil smile can continue to be diabetic" I said in my heart.

I turned my face to the highway, because my heart was getting out of control when I saw Raidil.

"so how?" ask him to me.

" how what is it?" My heart was a little surprised.

" our status? Dating or what?" she asked gently and looked seriously, and it made me even more nervous.

I took a deep breath, my shoulders were propped up on the bench.

I paused for a moment to hear Raidil's question thinking what was the right answer.
