Guardians of the Heart #2
Chapter 10
We decided to eat in the bamboo hamlet, an interesting area in Lembang.
“Wow, this is cool!” After we got out of the car, we used two cars. Rey's car and the Lieutenant's car where Arga, Irene and Karin are with her while I'm with Rey.
The view of bamboo hamlets is very beautiful with a very instagramable eco culture theme makes this area visited by many tourists including the third day of Lebaran as it is now.
We walked past the rice fields where there are beautiful gazebos where some visitors sit to rest while eating a snack or just chatting. Initially we wanted to sit in the Lutung Kasarung area which is a place to eat like a bird's nest hanging at a height but because of the number of visitors and the area is a favorite area to make all the places full. So we finally decided to sit in the Purbasari resort which is no less beautiful, in the form of unique saungs located on the edge of the lake.
“How long have you been dating?” karin asked as he looked at me and Rey sitting in front of him.
Currently we are enjoying lunch there grilled carp, rice pepes, fried chicken, oxtail soup with a variety of drinks, etc, I originally chose strawberry juice but when I saw the Lieutenant drinking the orange coconut that looked so good it made me exchange our drinks which only resigned from him, hehehe.
“How long huh?” I was thinking because I didn't know when I was going out.
“Only they and God know, Rin,” replied the Lieutenant with a smile making them laugh, and his words reminded me of the past.
There used to be times when I thought that the birth date was a sacred date for us, but now I don't even know when my date was with Rey.
“Honey, don't tell me you forgot?”
I'm trying to think but I haven't found the answer yet.
“Ckk... forgetful base, next week it's our 100th anniversary!” rey with spirit.
“100 years?!” Arga asked with round eyes.
“Hahaha... No but next week it's our 100th day, right, Honey?”
“Hehehe, yes.” Day 100? How do I know, I don't even know when our birth date is so how can I count the days?!
“You celebrated the 100th day?” Irene asked with round eyes and a bright smile.
“Should dong, we also celebrated a month we were dating... You still remind me time I gave you 100 red rose stalks?”
“Wow 100 stalks?”
“Iya,” Rey said proudly after seeing the reaction of Karin and Irene who looked surprised.
“You are 7 days to also not?” arga asked, making Rey look at him.
“No.”
“Then 40 days?” the Lieutenant asked Rey to frown.
“Engga, if in Indonesia like ya rayain day 7 equals 40 days?"
“Oh yes... 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 40 days continue 100 days,” replied the Lieutenant casually while eating cucumber leftovers.
“Buahahaha.. tahlilan,” said Arga while laughing out loud as well as Irene and Karin, and to be honest I also want to laugh but must manahannya because do not have the heart to see Rey who looks upset.
“Do not terrorize them, they are not romantic.” I tried to calm Rey down.
“Yes they are not romantic, Kekey must be very lucky to have a romantic girlfriend who even knows when the 100th day is made.”
Rey now smiles hearing Irene praising her.
“Indeed you and Arga never celebrated that anniversary?”
“Ya most a year.”
“Oh you guys have been dating for a year?”
“More minutes,” replied Irene with a smile.
“If Karin is with Yudha how long has it been?”
I saw Karin's face flushed red and she looked at the Lieutenant who was just looking at Rey casually.
“We are just friends,” said the Lieutenant.
“Don't pity Karin if you have to have a rich guy I.”
“Why?”
The Lieutenant was silent for a moment then he smiled as he said.
“I'm too handsome, later he eats liver because many like me.”
“Hahahaha... gelo!”
We laughed at the Lieutenant's words, unless Rey, of course, took the Lieutenant's words seriously.
“I like a lot too! Not arrogant, but many girls are begging to be my lover.”
Astagfirullahadzim, I am so ashamed to hear it!
“But yes... as men we have to be loyal dong, do not because many like to keep us so unfaithful..so, honey, you are lucky to get me.”.
He suddenly kissed me on the cheek, made me flinch and back off with wide eyes, I stared at the Lieutenant hoping he didn't see the scene but it seemed too late for everyone to see it.
Irene and Karin smile seductively, Arga looks not like it while the Lieutenant? I can't guess what he's thinking right now, and I don't like it because I don't know what he had in mind when I saw him. I couldn't even see Widy embracing her friendly hand, and now Rey even kisses me on the cheek? I hope not, because it will be very painful.
We finished eating and now go around enjoying the scenery presented Bamboo Hamlet, Arga who really likes photography did not waste the opportunity. although only using a mobile phone camera, he managed to capture some good moments that were immortalized in the camera of his cellphone.
So did Rey, she was busy pulling me around for a photo of the two of you, too, and I felt uncomfortable when he had to hug me or embrace me in front of the Lieutenant who was just sitting watching us from the gazebo with Karin.
I couldn't concentrate on Rey, my eyes kept staring at the gazebo every once in a while I saw Karin laughing at the Lieutenant's joke, until finally Irene called him and left the Lieutenant alone made me go straight to the gazebo leaving Rey who was cool with photos surrounding the bamboo hamlet.
I sat next to the Lieutenant sitting on his back, his hand holding a can of coca cola, his eyes looked forward to enjoying the natural scenery but I had no idea what was on his mind at the moment.
“Are you happy?” ask without taking your eyes off.
“Iya,” I replied while opening the fanta and drinking it.
“But I don't like it.” I looked at the Lieutenant who looked serious looking ahead.
“Mas Yudha doesn't like me happy?”
The Lieutenant smiled at me as he said, “Not, your happiness is my top priority, but I don't like your lover.I don't know I see a lot of pretenses that make me doubt it, you better be careful with him.”.
“Fake-fee? He's a little cocky, but he's a nice guy and he never pretends and he can't hurt me either.”
I didn't like it when I had to judge Rey like that when she had only met her twice. The Lieutenant looked at me for a moment then nodded.
“Maybe I was wrong, but you better be careful.”
“Tell me the truth, why doesn't Mas Yudha like him?”
Somehow my tone was a little harsh at the time, probably because I wanted to hear from his mouth that he was angry to see me with him if at this moment he was jealous, not just always reasonable because of his promise as the guardian of my heart.
“What is Mas Yudha angry? Or jealous? Is that why Mas Yudha doesn't like him?”
The Lieutenant looked at me who looked a little emotional.
“What if I am angry or jealous will affect you?”
I was silent and could not answer that question.
“What if I am angry or jealous you will break it and come back to me?”
I was shocked to hear his question.
“Notkan? So there's no meaning I'm angry or jealous because it won't bring you back to me.”
I was speechless, everything he said was true..What do I really want to do by knowing he is angry or jealous? The inner pleasure of knowing that I still have a special meaning in him? Or just want to get revenge for what I used to feel when I saw her with Widy? I don't know, but whatever it is will only prove my selfishness.
