He is my eye

Ch. 10. The third meeting

Alfan and I finally reached the beach we were on. The breeze of the wind welcoming us made my hair fall apart. I really enjoyed this place I had never been. I inhaled the air with all my might and I exhaled again. It is like the paradise of the world. Makes anyone who comes here not want to go home.

"Let's go to the store while walking. You're thirsty, aren't you?" bring Alfan.

"I'm so thirsty. Laper too. Heheehee.." I said with a laugh.

We both sat in the beachside gazebo. Alfan ordered the young coconut ice and the grilled gurame for both of us. I really enjoyed this place. The blue color of the ocean is really soothing to the eyes and a stretch of white sand that is very smooth when I put my feet on it. I saw some tourists getting on a boat that went somewhere, I don't know. But what I was looking for was a waterfall that my friend said was not visible in front of my eyes.

"Please here's the food" said a father-father serving the food we ordered.

"Sir, want dong. Where are they going on a boat? How many people take a boat," I asked curious.

"They want Coban Beach, Ma'am. There is a waterfall where the water flows directly to the beach. The water is so clear. Even the waterfall feels fresh so usually the tourists bathe under the waterfall. If it's still on the beach." explained the father.

"How far is the journey, sir?" ask Alfan.

"About fifteen minutes. You can also take a ride from here. On the edge there is a group of motorcycle taxi drivers for those who are afraid to take a boat. But the road there if riding a motorcycle takes about twenty minutes and the narrow path only fit for one motorcycle," said the father.

"Yes, thank you, sir" Alfan said.

"Where, Fa, would you like not to take a boat?" ask Alfan.

"No, Mom, we're here. Here the view is no less good really," I refused while sipping my drink.

"Yes already. But I'm still curious to see the beautiful scenery there," said Alfan.

"I want to see the view there, too. But I'm afraid I have to take a boat" I said in my heart.

"Why can't Alfan talk to Elsa? Now she has become more beautiful. As Mas Alfan would like," I asked curiously.

"I know I'm confused too. I don't know why when I was with Elsa I felt uncomfortable. It was like my heart could not feel its presence" Alfan replied.

Nihungggg... Nihungggg...

Suddenly my phone rang to break my conversation with Alfan. I saw Dito call me. I picked up the phone with fear. I just realized that I forgot I haven't told Dito that I can't meet him today.

"Where areyou? I called you can't!" snarled Dito angry.

"I'm sorry, honey, I forgot that today I made a pact with you. Here I am again in the countryside, I was invited by my Mother to my Aunt's house" I said as I stayed away from Alfan. I'm afraid Alfan heard it.

"Kok you didn't say anything. You know, I don't wait for you. I've had time for you, but you're even playing me like a gini!" dito was still very angry.

"Dear, sorry, I completely forgot" I said feeling guilty.

"And I waited for you in the alley of your house. I even reserved the villa for us all day. Even your phone is difficult to contact," said Dito.

"This is a hard signal. Promise me I will never forget again. If you want to see me at any time, I won't refuse any busier me. How's it? Don't be angry again dong," I said.

"It's up to you!" dito.

Dito hung up the phone when I hadn't said anything. It seemed like she was really angry, because only this time did I refuse to meet her. I could only sigh at what Dito would do to me later on because Dito was a man of bad temper.

"Yes, he was sulking because I forgot that today I had an appointment with him" I said lethargicly.

"Boy farmers like to snack like that anyway. There is no gentle at all" said Alfan.

"He was grumpy from the beginning, probably because of his job demands that made him angry easily" I explained.

"If so mending do not you continue your relationship with him. If for example you marry someone who has a bad temper, you will be tired of dealing with it yourself" Alfan said.

"Women are not born in this world to be constituted. The woman is fragile, no matter how strong the woman tries to stay strong," continued Alfan.

"Sok knows you Mas. If you know women are fragile why do you like to play with women?" my many.

"Whose heart have I ever played? I never had a date!" sergeant Alfan.

Whether Alfan really does not know or he is indeed an innocent man who has not realized that it has attracted my best friend's heart, Elsa and my heart also feel swayed because of him.

"By the way, look there, many are riding boats. Come dong I'm curious to go there," asked Alfan like a child whose wishes must be obeyed.

"No. What if I get nauseous? Others do not take a boat," I refused.

"Where about riding an ojek? Come on, we've come all the way here to lose if you don't see the waterfall," said Alfan.

"No, we don't wanna be here. The road said his way was narrow. How about passing the other riders?" many doubt.

"Yes if you don't want to" said Alfan with a sad expression.

I tried to distract him so that he did not take me there again by giving me cakes that I brought from home and boiled corn that Mother Kus gave earlier.

"Mas Alfan wants a cake? This is me making my own Mom. This is also a boiled corn given the same Mother that we helped earlier," I bargained while giving a package containing cakes and boiled corn.

"Well.really you made it? I taste it, yes" said Alfan eating a steamed cake.

"It's really delicious" continued Alfan.

"Yes dong. My mother sells in the market so every day I always make cookies like gini," I said.

"When can I retire sometime?" ask Alfan.

"That's fine. What is less than Elsa?" I ask who is still curious.

"I myself am confused with my heart. I actually like someone now, but I just found out that he has a girlfriend" Alfan replied.

I don't know why my heart hurts when I hear Alfan is liking someone. It must be that guy's a coworker who's the same level as him.

"How do you want to go now?" my many.

"Not how. I'm just interested in him. In the dictionary of my life, love someone when they're married. If you are not married, don't like someone too much" replied Alfan.

I was amazed at Alfan's words. He really lived his life cool. I'm happy to know her even though I know I can't have her.
