Guardians of the Heart #2
Chapter 16
My relationship with the Lieutenant is getting better and better, the cracks in my heart are slowly starting to heal even though not all of them. We'll spend both of our days off even though lately the Lieutenant doesn't have a day off because he has to do the job.
Sometimes he would leave for a few weeks leaving me in anxiety, when he came home I would welcome him even though he couldn't hug him like he used to, but I will smile broadly as a form of praise if he has done a very good job because he can go home safely.
Oh yes, I have not told you about my office friend who is trying to get close to me, his name is Bima, lately he has been very intense approaching me even though I have often refused by saying that I already have a lover, I have a boyfriend, but I don't know if he's too stubborn or stupid for not realizing that I blatantly rejected him.
Like now he forced me to take me home even though I told him that Dirga would pick me up.
“Just tell your sister if you come home with me, she'll surely understand.”
“Thank you, Bim, but I'm going home with Dirga.” I looked to the left-right of the road hoping to see Dirga coming as soon as possible.
“Oh come on, Key, I also want to go to Pajajaran.”
I'm really pissed! Why doesn't he understand the rejections I'm saying! I just opened my mouth again to reject it when a ninja motor stopped right in front of us. He came down and opened his helmet, making me smile.
“Honey! I didn't know I was home from work!” I said with sparkling eyes looking at him and then gave a code with my eyebrows pointing towards Bima.
“Surprise?!” he said while stroking my hair, “Wait from earlier?”
“Iya.. oh yes, dear, this knows my office friend, Bima... Bim, know my fiancee.”.
“Yudha.”
The Lieutenant greeted Bima who still seemed to not believe that I was engaged.
“I didn't know you were engaged.”
“Only close relatives and family only know,” I replied while embracing the Lieutenant's waist made him embrace my shoulder friendly.
“Just wait for the invitation, God willing as soon as possible,” said the Lieutenant with a smile, “We go home now, Honey?”
“Okay, go home first yes, Bim.”
We left Bima who seemed to have not recovered from her shock, making me laugh happily because it seemed like she would not dare to approach me again.
“Who else is it?”
“Chiih! Nyebelin know not, Mas, I've been very reluctant to him but he does not understand, do not know whether he does not understand or stubborn.”
“You should have said from the beginning that you are engaged, is it my future wife?”
“Hahaha..”.
After the event at the wedding of his high school friend, he always flirted with the name ‘prospective my wife’ but I will immediately silence him if he dares to say that in front of Arga or my brothers.
As Arga and my brothers said, I will go through this slowly while looking for answers to the questions that are still embedded in my heart? It doesn't need to be asked anymore because I already have the answer, it's just like I often say, like, I could not believe it yet again making me hesitate to hand over my heart that was still full of these scratches to him.
I never again tried to match her with Karin or anyone else because I also already knew the answer to the question of how I felt when I saw her with another woman? To be sure, the nature of my hunter immediately hit the surface and I really did not like to see him with other women!
“I went straight home yes.”
“Not enter first?”
“Engga, want to sleep tired really.”
“Ckk... most already dawn new sleep rich usually.”
“Hahaha... Now really want to sleep, really tired.”
“So why pick up everything instead of just sleeping so add capekkan.”
“Hehehe, kangen had not seen this one crybaby for a long time.” He ruffled my hair with a smile.
“Ya already, have now met go home gih but really rest do not stay up.”
“Ready!”
“Tomorrow liburkan?”
He nodded in response.
“Ke here no?”
“See tomorrow yes.”
“There is an appointment?”
“Friends meeting.”
“Friends SMA?”
“Iya, want to come?”
“Hmmm... Disrupt if you are coming?”
“Engga, they are also on bring their respective pair kok.”
“There's Deby same Ocy gak?”
“Hahaha... Deby has returned to Amrik, Ocy kanya follow deh.”
“Kok know?”
“Kan is in group.”
“Ooh..”.
“You are coming?”
“Kan work.”
“Oh yes, set up half a day on Saturday, the event is afternoon.”
“Yes, but don't even tar disturb.”
“Ya, go home first yes.. assalamualaikum.”.
“Wa’alaikumsalam.”
The next day around 7pm the Lieutenant sent me a message.
“Again watch drakor in room.”
“The fate of singles is so rich, the weekly nights are the same as drakor.”
“Dating with guys in drakor is more tempting.”
“Hahaha, but still can not be hugged the same to chat.”
“Wild, just look at their faces is enough to make a smile yourself.”
“Basic... by the way your friend is not disturbing lagikan?”
“So she was talking about Mas Yudha.”
“Ngapain? She may like me!”
“Hahaha.. ngefans said.”.
“Ckkk... It is difficult if the handsome rich artist.”.
“Hahaha... GR! Where the hell? Already home from the gathering?”
“Not yet.. BT nih, they are on bring pair.”
“Hahaha..the fate of singles is rich so come to the meeting diacangin.”.
“Iya nih, have a prospective wife even more choose dating same drakor than nemenin.”
“Hahaha.”
“Key, I want Ocy to come home?”
Suddenly, I sat up and read the message.
“Indeed Ocy comes alone?”
“Tadi ushered his guy, but the guy already has an appointment so go home first.”
I was silent reading that.
“Mas Yudha brought what? Car or motor?”
“Motor, why?”
Imagining the Lieutenant piggybacking Ocy has made the mood watch drakorku freefall. Oh come on, Key! now you're just friends so there's no reason for you to ban it. Ahh! But I still don't like it even just by imagining it!
I was shocked when my phone rang and it was from the Lieutenant, probably because I took too long to reply to the message so he called me.
“Hallo.”
“Where, can you not?”
“Some Mas Yudha.”
The Lieutenant fell silent a moment later he said.
“Key, tell Za I only briefly after I drive her I will go straight home to play again with Kekey the crybaby.”
“Ya already, but..”
“But what?”
But don't let him hold you, I want to say that but I'm too proud to say it.
“Engga so.”
“Yes already, I'm on my way... Cy, said my future wife can not bend, the handle is rich with motorcycle taxi driver yes.”
“Iiih, Mas Yudha, what the hell?!”
I was surprised when he suddenly said like that and I could hear a female voice laughing while saying, “Ready! Pay all fares?”
“Key, Ocy said he had to pay the fare no?”
“Iiiih, Mas Yudha, bummer! Shy-shame.”
“Hahaha... yes already, I go first yes, assalamualaikum.”
“Wa’alaikumsalam.”
I immediately poked my head in Tedy's stomach while shouting, “Mas Yudha, nyebelin! Bummer nyebelin!” aaahh, shame! If I meet his friends, how will he be? Must be so embarrassed?! She thought I was actually saying that was true... In my heart I said it too, but why did she know?
Around 8:30 the sound of the Lieutenant's motor was heard entering my yard making me go straight out, he got off the bike, opened his helmet and grinned to see me pouting to welcome him before hitting his arm irritated.
“Blu...nyebelin! Shameful, later thought I actually said it.”
“Hahaha... but inwardly did say a titukan,” he said while ruffling my hair.
“Chiih! Bummer.”
I went into the house still with a sullen face followed by him who was still laughing, then sat down to join Father and Mother who were watching TV.
“Where is Yud?” ask Dad after the Lieutenant said greetings and salim as usual
.
“Habis nganterin tuh girl, Well,” I said with a ketus.
“Yudha, already have a girlfriend? Which guy? Beautiful isn't? How unknown anyway?”
“Yes, bring here Jud, know us.. Why come home again weekly night? You should go to dinner or watch.” first
“Well, Daddy really tuh.”
I gaped in disbelief to see my parents who were so enthusiastic to hear the Lieutenant just came home nganterin chick..aah actually whose child they are anyway? Me or the Lieutenant? Why are they more enthusiastic about hearing the Lieutenant have a girlfriend than when they heard I had a boyfriend in Japan?
Oi! Are they no longer intending to make the Lieutenant their proud son-in-law? Ckk.. use advice about weekly nights all.
