Guardians of the Heart #2
Chapter 4
“Where are you now?”
Now we are still in the parking lot of Bandung station, just drove Kak Dimas family who want to go home to Semarang, before leaving Kak Dimas had left my family to the Lieutenant as if he trusted him very much, but when I saw him Brother Dimas instead said, “Don't be stubborn, dreading Daddy, Mother Yudha, don't make them dizzy.” I could only waste my breath hearing that.
“Hmm... whatever, there is no event?”
“No... want to disturb Arga dating not?”
the Lieutenant asked with a wicked smile to make me smile.
“Ok! Where are they again?”
“Bent!”
The lieutenant took out his cell phone and contacted Arga.
“Where? Watch what? Bentar... want to watch?”
“Bby.”
“Boleh, Ga, buyin first the ticket yes, we are still at the station out of Kak Dimas, the nutrients are jammed so mending a bit mendalam aja. ok, thanks, Ga.”
“They where?”
“PVJ.” (Paris Van Java, Mall in Sukajadi area, near the Lieutenant's house).
“Watch what movie?”
“Pirates of the Caribbean new said.”
“Yes! Jack sparrow... Oh Jhony Deep it is cool if you know the rich character that.”.
I kept telling him about one of my favorite films accompanying the Lieutenant who was struggling through the Bandung traffic jam on Sunday night. And we got there around 9 o'clock less fitting the cinema door in the open, making us go straight inside.
“Totally long? Macet yes?” asked Arga when we were sitting in the cinema hall chair.
“Yes, wonder at the night of the week where to try, instead of staying at home,” replied the Lieutenant made Arga and Irene laugh.
“You guys who single people out of the house let alone rich us who are dating.”
“We came out because we went home to Kak Dimas station.”
I said while receiving drinks from Arga who had previously bought food and drinks for all of us. Irene and I were sitting in the middle and on the left right we were Arga and the Lieutenant.
“Nah really, if we reason clearly... nganterin family.”.
“Ckkk.. reasons even though he wanted to watch,” said Arga while opening plastic chips which were then given to Irene.
“This is mahal, his name is also taught the same diteraktiraktir... sustenance, do not be wasted,” said the Lieutenant made Arga look at us.
“Our feelings on the phone right, Love? Why are we the same as hell?”
“Hueee... love,” said I pretended to vomit hearing Arga's call to her lover which instead made her increasingly become by embracing Irene's warm shoulder with a big smile.
“Everything is good looking for a girlfriend, let someone call Love, Honey, Honey, Baby.”
“There is.”
“So she calls you what?”
“Tamagochi,” replied the Lieutenant casually while opening the plastic cassava chips making Arga and Irene laugh.
“Round dong rich egg.” Arga said between his laughs.
“Iya, can continue to be nailed or hanged in bag, hahaha.”
The Lieutenant's words suddenly made Arga and Irene laugh out loud again while I irritatedly pinched her waist until she complained for mercy.
“Aww-aww! Forgiveness, yes-iya... alas-fun.”.
The deg!
My heart seemed to stop beating and stop breathing for a split second when it heard him calling out the usual affection he had pinned to me first.
“He calls you baby? Cieee,” said Arga made me realize who immediately drank the cold drink that Arga had bought for me.
“Not.”
“Certain what dong?” Arga asked back.
I just opened my mouth to answer when I heard the Lieutenant say again,
“Moci.”
“Buahahaha, bullet, keep a lot of flour, hahahaha.”
This time I just glared at him with a frown that made him smile wide along with the death of the room lights signaled the film would start and all of us immediately fell silent staring at the big screen. At about 11am, we came out of the cinema.
“Thank you yes, Ga, it has been done for us,” said the Lieutenant when we walked in the parking lot.
“Feelings earlier he said buyin first deh, but why so teraktir ya.”
“Hahaha... next time I'm the one who's been.”.
“Yes right, Mas Yudha?”
“Iya, tar if Arga returns to Bandung, we walk again.”
“By take Karin gak?” asked Irene with sparkling eyes looking at the Lieutenant, making me frown, who is Karin?
“Iya, Irene's friend who used to be familiar when we met.”
The Lieutenant thought a little about hearing Arga's words before finally nodding his head in memory, making me curious.
“She nanyain Mas Yudha keeps tuh, greetings he said.”
“Wa’alaikumsalam.” The Lieutenant replied with a smile.
“Salamin again don't?” Irene asked excitedly and somehow I became less fond of Irene tonight.
“Hmmm.. don't be, afraid someone is angry.”.
“Who's angry!” my shouts made everyone look at me in wonder, and I could see Arga now holding back her laughter, making me curse myself for my habit of expressing what was on my mind unconsciously.
“Cowoknya Karin, Key, who is angry not you,” said the Lieutenant while ruffling my hair, “Udah ah! We go home first yes, kaya there are already drowsiness nih.”
The lieutenant pushed me towards his car after saying goodbye to the two of them. Our car had just left the PVJ building when my phone rang and it turned out to be from Rey, it made me hesitate to answer but I reminded myself that me and the Lieutenant are now just friends so there's no problem.
“Halo.”
“Hei... Where is this? How rich again on the road.”
“Iya, just returned home playing with friends.”
“Until gini night?”
“Tadi out nganter Kakar to the station, keep going home play first.”
“What girl is his friend's guy?” ask Rey in a tone that is starting to change.
“Girls are the same guys,” I answered while breathing heavily because realizing Rey's possessive and jealous attitude started out making the Lieutenant look at me.
“This goes home to who?”
“Friends.”
“Cowok?”
“Iya.” I've begun to feel uncomfortable with our conversation, what else do I realize now that the Lieutenant is starting to suspect something is wrong.
“Couldn't take a taxi? why do you have to take guys all!”
Rey started yelling and made me have to catch my breath before answering.
“It's late, afraid if you have to take a taxi by yourself.”
“It already knows that it's late why it's still out too anyway!”
“I'll tell you I finished nganterin Kakar to station.”
“Should go straight home don't crawl!”
Rey raised her voice in an angry tone to shock me.
“Cowok you?” asked the Lieutenant in a cold voice which I answered with a nod, without saying much the Lieutenant sidelined his car, stopped and then took the phone from my hand which was surprised to see his reaction.
“Halo... Listen! Once again I hear you raise your voice or yell at him, I don't care if you're the son of an official, I'll make sure to tear your mouth off that, you know!!! His parents and brother alone no one dared to snap at him, but you others who have only known him for a few months are already brave like that! … So you're Kekey's guy? That's even weird again, which guy has the heart to tell his girl to take a taxi in the middle of the night gini? You want to know who I am? I'm Kekey's bodyguard and guardian, as well as the angel of death to anyone who dares to hurt him, so just pray you won't meet me. Hello? Huh hello? You coward!”
I was surprised to see the Lieutenant looking so angry, he came back to run his car even though I could see he was still angry and I didn't know what to say now, I was too surprised and confused by the situation now.
“She is often like that?” ask her while looking forward seriously, “Scoffs you for no reason.”
“No, he was never like that and he yelled at me not without reason, he was angry because I was out the night and I should have told him first.”
“But not in such a way, what he thinks with you taking a taxi it will be much safer than delivered by your friend.”
“Maybe! What's clear is that he's angry because he's jealous I'm the same as other men, so I think it's natural that he's angry.”
“You said it was natural that he yelled at you like that? Key, your Father and brothers alone are more entitled to be angry just as you never yelled at you, and now there is a guy you just know who has dared to yell at you, you say natural? That's not reasonable, Key.”
“He's not a guy I just met, he's my girlfriend!”
Now I'm yelling at the Lieutenant and I don't know why I'm like that either, but surely emotions are starting to creep up on me as if to explode.
“You don't know anything about Rey! He's a nice gentleman, knows how to treat women and he always makes me first priority! He will do anything for me, and he's jealous it's a sign he loves me and you have no right to be angry or judge him like that!”
I growled furiously with my chest going up and down with emotion.
“I can take care of myself, no need for bodyguards or guards. Remember you are nobody but the man who broke my heart. And now when I was trying to get up again, you seemed to block my happiness by threatening the man close to me.”
“I don't mean to hinder your happiness, I'm just trying to protect you from the guy who dares to yell at you for trivialities.”
“I don't need protection let alone from you!” I exclaimed with emotion making the Lieutenant surprised to look at me.
“If you want me to be happy, do not interfere in my personal affairs, understand!”
I don't know why I could be that emotional, maybe because I've been quiet all this time and now it's as if there's a chance so I take it out. The rest of the journey we were silent, and I was still trying to calm my hot chest as if my anger wasn't enough. And we got to the front of the house, without saying much, I immediately got out of the car.
“Key!”
I stopped when he called me without turning back.
“I don't mean to hinder your happiness, I just protect you from getting hurt again. But, if it turns out that I'm just a hindrance to your happiness, I don't think there's any more meaning to me being next to you. I'm sorry that I just hurt you and got angry. Good night.”
There was a big lump squeezing my chest, but I was too angry! Without turning back my body I left it that night.
