He is my eye

He is my eye
Ch. 11. Sorry, Elsa...



"Let's go home, Fa," Alfan asked.


"Why, Mas? it's still 1 o'clock. Not nanggung, even though we have come all the way here," I said curiously. I really want to enjoy the beauty of the beach here. I don't think I want to go to this place.


"If we could take a walk to the village settlement. I'm tired of just looking at the water, I'm really curious here."


"Well, let's go, '" I reluctantly agreed to Alfan's invitation.


"Where are we going, Alfan? The way home should be straight, not a left turn," I asked was-was. I was afraid that I would be taken to a strange place.


"And I told you, we went for a ride on a motorcycle" said Alfan.


"I want to follow the vehicle in front of us. Where are they going?" continued.


"When we go around, how will we?"


"Just be calm if you are rude just turn around."


"But.." my feelings said like there was going to be a problem that befell us. I hope it's just my gut feeling.


"You hold, Fa. The road starts to go uphill and turn."


"The road's getting small like this, Mom? Later if we cross paths with other riders how?"


"Just calm down, we'll just follow the person in front. You just enjoy the view we passed. Gini-gini I often go touring with my friends," said Alfan lightly.


Alfan was good at driving his vehicle. But, the road I passed was getting narrower and turning. It was like driving on a mountain. To my right was a plantation with trees towering upwards like a wilderness. On my left is a chasm that seems very deep. I don't even dare look at any side.


"I'm scared, Mom. Let's go back in the direction. Mending us to go home," asked me who kept tightening my grip. I couldn't think of how Elsa would feel right now if she knew I was hugging Alfan's waist.


"Udah is already. Keep calm, nothing will happen to us."


"Look there the view is really good. The sea looks beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful sight."


I also followed Alfan's words seeing my left side.


"Wahhh. I've never even seen a scene like this before" I said in awe.


Seen the expanse of the ocean that stretches very wide. With a blend of blue and green make the sea water that looks shiny like a diamond. The waves that roll so beautifully make the ships that pass by it adrift beautifully. My eyes are really spoiled by the beauty of nature here.


"Mas, look there is a waterfall that the father said earlier," I said enthusiastically.


"Yes, you just enjoy the view. I'm focusing on driving."


When I was enjoying the view of the ocean, suddenly Mas Alfan stopped his motorcycle. The vehicle behind me had to stop.


"Why, Mas?" manya curious.


"I think we're running into another rider. There was a horn coming from the front. Look in front of two motorcycles trying to get off the bike."


"What then? How are we going?" I'm back scared.


I looked at my left again with horror. "How about if we fall into the abyss, surely we will both fall directly into the ocean there," I said in my heart. Because all I see below is the ocean water that I think is very beautiful.


"Do I have to get off this bike first?"


"Do not calm down just don't move. We just follow the vehicle in front of us."


"Excuse me," Alfan said politely as he passed the rider who passed us.


"Please" the two men replied.


After our motorcycle passed by I saw the two riders continue on their way. Looks like they're residents here. Maybe they are taxi drivers who run out to take the passengers to see the waterfall that makes visitors curious to come to him.


"Well, we're finally here. Mas, where are we going if we want to go to the beach?" alfan asked the parking attendant who was preparing to welcome us all.


"The same mom just follow the downhill road there. Not far away maybe a trip of about 5 minutes."


"Oh yeah, thank you, yeah."


"Yes the same," said the parking attendant leaving after giving a parking ticket.


"Come, Fa, we're there."


"Just a minute, Mom, I'll take a breath first. I was really scared down the street."


"Let's buy a drink at the store" Alfan pointed out.


"Mending we just took a boat instead of passing the road that makes the heart want to be dislodged," I said horrified. But in retrospect mending need not be both because both are equally high risk.


"I was expecting you to take a boat."


"But I'm like a drunk when I get on a boat. My stomach can be nauseous and my head is dizzy when I get on a boat."


"Yes, it means that we were riding a motorcycle even more exciting."


"Mas Alfan wasn't scared just now?"


"No, if you're afraid, who's going to nenangin you if you cry."


"Heheehee. Yeah, yeah."


Alfan and I finally arrived at the place we were headed, Coban Beach. True said my friend, there is a waterfall that flows directly to the beach. It turns out there are more visitors than on the beach. It's just right there why very few visitors explore the beach like me and Alfan earlier. There are many visitors who enjoy the beach here. There are still many boats that come and go to this beach.


"Shifa, you want to not bathe under their kayaking waterfall?"


"Be ashamed, Mas. I don't bring a change of clothes."


"You put on my jacket first. Later if we meet the clothing store, I buy clothes for you. I just saw there's a clothing store around Miss Kus' house."


"But Mas..."


Without my consent, Alfan suddenly pulled my hand. Alfan and I enjoyed the refreshing water falling onto our bodies. I looked at Alfan with great admiration. He was not a doctor when he was with me. Laugh out loud when I tell a funny story or see me acting that he thinks is funny, dare to tell about his story without jaim at all, and at this moment even he dared to hold my hand without shame.


He was also different from the man I had known all along. He kindly wants to help people who look troubled even though he does not know, always pray wherever he is, even before we leave he prays at the mosque near the settlement. And what I like most about him is that he never looked me down. Unlike men in general who always invite me to sleep, he only dared to hold my hand. I was amazed by all of his cool thoughts.


"Fa, it's not in vain that we're here. The beach here is really beautiful. After going through a terrible journey, it was nothing compared to the scenery we got. I will recommend this place to all my colleagues. I will invite my colleagues in the hospital to go here during the holidays at the end of the year," said Alfan proudly.


I who heard Alfan's words felt very grateful towards my friend who recommended this place.


"This time I'm sorry, Elsa. I love Alfan just like you. I'll make Alfan love me too" I said in my heart.
