I stopped the motor in front of Ed's house. I immediately pressed the doorbell. A woman in a headscarf came out of the house. I was a little surprised when I saw the scratches on his face. After that I realized that I was dealing with Edelweis' mother.
“Sorry, aunt. Is Ed in?”
“There. You must be his friend. Please come in,” mother Ed very good. He told me to wait for Ed in the living room. I saw Ed coming down the stairs. He doesn't smile like he used to. He only looks at me when he sees me. Guilt again moved me. I'm lagsung standing up. Ed walked up to me.
“What's up?” tanyakanya.
“I'm sorry Ed for deciding you. I've hurt you indirectly.”
“I too. Sorry for stopping you from liking my sister,” I was flabbergasted to hear. “Cowok you like is Miwon right? Every time you talk to him, your eyes are always blissful. Not as dim as I used to know you. Once you get to know him, you feel more open with everyone. You dare to smile. The change was all because of my sister's presence, right?”
I just fell silent, unable to deny it. It's all true and I feel like I managed to hurt him. And it also makes me more guilty.
“Why aren't you being honest?”
“I'm sorry, Ed,” I said solemnly while bowing my head clumsily.
“Other times you have to tell me everything. More open to me,” I started to look at him. “Now we are still friends right?” I nodded my head many times. I wiped away the tears that were almost flowing.
“Yes we're friends,” I said with a small smile.
“Friends for life,” he said again. I did not stop nodding and
smilingly. After that, Ed told me to sit down.
“Ed, I want to ask for directions to Ngipik.” lake
“You want to fish there?”
“Ngak. I'm sure Miwon is there now. I. want to catch up with him. I want to tell him something.” Edelweis looked at me confusedly. I also don't know why I had this feeling that Miwon and Timmy were actually there. Because it's the only place Miwon has ever called a special place.
“Log to the Surabaya-Gresik border, just go straight, then turn left, and..,” Ed stops talking. He scratched his head with a confused expression. “Duh, Ribet really direction there,” then he started to stand and look at me. “How about I take you there?” my eyes widened in disbelief.
“Come! I take the key of the motor first yes,” Ed immediately up the stairs.Tak long he came back down sambiil wearing a black jacket. I saw his mother following him from behind. “Bu, I drove my friend first yes,” he said while greeting his mother.
“Be careful on the road. Go home quickly. The sky is starting to cloud. Looks like it's gonna rain soon.”
I also touched his mother. “Tante, I say goodbye first,” his mother nodded with a smile. After that we drove there, where Miwon was. Along the way I thought about what I should say to Miwon. I was determined to say it. I don't care if Miwon doesn't have feelings for me anymore. What matters now is my courage to say what I should have said a long time ago.
“It has arrived,” said Ed. I immediately saw a lake not far from me. After getting off the bike, I thanked him. Edelweis nodded his head while smiling. He always has been. Edelweiss is always good to everyone. It made me feel overwhelmed. I already hurt him. But he still did me good. Even wanted to be my friend.
“You should immediately tell her what you want to say to her. Don't cover up your feelings anymore. I support you, Fik. Keep fighting, okay?!” I nodded my head and smiled at him.
“Thank you for everything, Ed.” Edelweis gave his thumb. After that, he left me. I immediately ran around looking for Miwon near the lake. But I did not find his figure. Miwon and Timmy. My head is looking up. The color of the sky turned a little grey.
“It looks like today will really rain.”

Miwon pressed the bell of his mother's house. He came with Timmy who was still cool to pluck his favorite strawberry ice cream. Miwon accidentally saw a duck bike in the yard. He was no stranger to the motor. Then he saw his mother come out of the house and open the fence. He shakes his mother. And Timmy too.
“Wah, Won. You brought your future daughter-in-law ya?” joking mother. Timmy who heard it immediately choked. Miwon and his mother laughed.
“Bu, whose motor is it? tanyanya.
“Oh, your brother's friend came here. Then they go not know where.”
“Loh, that's Afika motor,” heard the words of Timmy, making Miwon a little limp. ‘Maybe they're having fun,’ he thought sadly. Suddenly, a motorbike bell was heard behind them. Miwon saw her brother riding a motorcycle. Miwon and Timmy give him a way in.
“Mother first enter yes. I just remembered that the stove was still on,” Miwon nodded his head. Edelweis took off his helmet and scrunched his forehead.
“How are you here? Not that you're in the Ngipik lake huh?”
“Ngak, sis. I'd like to see mom and sister for a minute. Which afika, sis?” asked Miwon while looking at the duck bike again.
“Lha, that's why. Afika said she had to meet you at the Ngipik well. But why are you here?”
“I don't understand. I don't make the same appointment with him.”
“Is it possible because I said we were going to a special place?” timmy said to speak. Then he picked up his ice cream again.
“Means?” miwon did not understand.
“So I said we'd come to a special place. I think he'd be jealous if I said that. It seems like he really has feelings for you. The proof is now that he intends to meet you,” Timmy shut his mouth immediately. She felt guilty for saying such a thing in front of her boyfriend Afika.“Oops, sorry Ed. I didn't mean to. I was just expecting it. That's not true. Please don't..,”
Edelweis laughing. “It's okay. I broke up with him.”
Both were surprised.
“Why did sister break up with him? When and who is.”
“That's all gone,” cut off her brother. “The most important thing now is that you have to get there right away. It's raining soon. I don't want my friend to fall ill because my sister still asks a lot here,” Edelweis immediately pushed Miwon's body. Miwon looked confused. He immediately got on the bike and put on his helmet.
“He really likes you,” heard his brother's words, made him stop turning on the motor. “It's gone there. Poor Afika waited a long time. Soon Miwon smiled at her smile. The motor is speeding. Miwon was seen speeding in his motorbike. Edelweis and Timmy saw it until it was not seen again.
Timmy held both of his hands behind his back.
“Miwon has loved it for a long time now,” Edelweis was a little surprised to hear it. “Ed turned out really well huh. Strive to unite them.”
“Do not say so,” he said in a sad tone.
“Why?”
“The girl I used to love also said that. Though I myself did not feel as perfect as he thought.”
“Sorry, Ed. I didn't mean to,” Edelweis turned to him straight away.
“You want to go inside for a minute? Who knew we could have lunch with my mom?” bargained for. Timmy developed his smile.
“Hemm. I want!” after nodding his head, he immediately followed Edelweis walking into the house.
...***...
I've been standing here for two hours. Stand in the rain to wait for him. But the person I was waiting for did not come. Am I in the wrong place? Isn't Miwon's special and special place here? In the rain like this, I can't think anymore. Now I'm alone in the rain, with no one around me. My body feels weak and my head feels dizzy. I tried to be like the princess. I've been trying. Can I give up now?
My body was shivering so cold the rain water that kept slapping my body. Yeah, at least I tried. I will return home without regret. There is still tomorrow to be honest with him. I turned around and walked while hugging my cold body. My face is lethargic.
But my steps stopped for a moment. When I see someone standing not far from me. Not the one who wants to fish. Not the keeper of this lake. He's a guy I know. The guy I've been waiting for. With a remnant of energy, I shouted his name.
“MIWON! I LIKE YOU!” I don't know if he's listening to it or not. I just wish he could hear my voice in the rain. “I really like your outages. REALLY LIKE! I'm sorry I ever ignored your feelings! SORRY AND THANK YOU FOR LIKING ME! You are the best part of my life. Because of you, I can be more open with others and more courageous to learn to live my life!”
Miwon ran up to me. I was surprised when he hugged me.
“I..,”
“Be quiet.”
“Sorry.. sorry, because I already like you. Sorry..,”
“Ckckck... shit! Quiet briefly! Later on explanation!” he hugged me even tighter.
I was crying hard too. Crying because of happiness. I don't know if my feelings are reciprocated or not. But seeing Miwon embrace me like this, made me sure that he was one step closer to me. He never stopped liking me. He's waiting for me. Yeah, he's been waiting for me all this time!
I'm the only key to all this. Miwon who had the padlock and gave it to me. He was waiting for me to open the lock. And when that happened, I pulled out the right key to open the lock. Now in the rain like this, I feel like I really know him.
TO BE CONTINUOUS~
...EPILOG~...
Five girls get together after riding a hysteria ride. The same goes for the three guys who just got off there. One of the girls had a slightly pale face. His eyes were glaring and his face was sweating.
“Come, we ride it!” exclaim Miwon while pointing at the roller coaster. The five people immediately ran in that direction while screaming in pleasure. Only two girls and boys remained.
“Fik, are you okay?” edelweis asked somewhat worriedly.
“Kayak body feels sifted,” hiss Afika while adjusting his breath.
“Fik, let's go up there!” Miwon pulled Afika's hand to immediately line up at the atrian rollercoaster. Afika shook her head quickly.
“I don't want to either! There's serem ah! Timmy scared!” exclaim Timmy who walked up to them. Then Edelweis dragged him by pulling his collar from behind.
“Then let's go to a place that isn't creepy!” edelweis. “Dek, don't force Afika. Kasian. Like that fear,” he added before leaving. Miwon approached Afika. He looked at Afika's eyes that were whistling everywhere. His breathing was not irregular. Miwon pulled Afika's hand again.
“Let's take a break. I won't force you to ride the creepy rides again anyway,” they sit on the steps of the stairs. They are silent to each other.
“Hey, look! Do we have to ride that childish game?!” exclaim Miwon while pointing towards the vehicle in the form of a wheeled helicopter aircraft with a rail area that is not too high. Then they both saw Timmy and Ed were there.
“It's fun! Yaaahuu..,” shouted Timmy girang. Miwon and Afika looked at each other. They laugh at the same time. Then Afika decided to stand up.
“OK! Come on, we go to the creepy rides,” Miwon come to stand.
“No need to force yourself, Fik,” he said. Afika shook her head.
“I want to like what you like. This way I'll get to know you better.”
Auchs! Miwon's heart felt the spears of love. He was banging his chest while grimacing alone.
“Miwon, you why?” ask Afika confused. Miwon instantly regained his senses. He held both hands of Afika.
“You are so sweet. I promise tomorrow we'll go to any museum. Whatever you! Without Ed, Timmy, Hami, Tara, and Wildam! Just the two of us! I also like what you like. That way we can both get to know more.”
“Emm!” said Afika nodding her head again with a smile. He took two hairpins from inside his small bag. She put a pinch in her hair and put another one in Miwon's hair. The two smiled at each other.
“Then, let's go to the haunted house!!!!”
Miwon pulled Afika's hand while running towards the haunted house. They both look happy with each other. Their determination is always the same. ‘Thus, we can get to know each other even further'
