He's my Milky Way

Is this a surprise?

There is a wind that blows everyone's hair. Cheerful faces are also very visible today, yes because all who are here must be in good condition, if not good they are not here.

"Dy, what do you want? I was asked too!" Maudy just sighed. However it will not be denied, it is impossible in one day to forget Bima.

If the man sitting in front of me is Bim.

"I'm the same as you are." He said like he was not tasteful. And Kiki knew that.

"Sir, two young coconut ice, continue to fry the same chili pepper that many yes sir." The seller immediately records it. "What are you guys?"

"We are the same." Though the average child of the rich, but happy even hanging out in a roadside stall, yes if the rain must be hit, ash is also a lot.

"Is that what it is?" Ask back before going to make a customer order.

"Yes sir." The seller nodded and left.

"Dy's? Are you daydreaming anyway?" Ask Agam.

"No, I'm just fucking gam." Smilingly.

"Why? Is this the story because it's upset again?" Kiki immediately glanced at him, seeing what kind of reaction Maudy had.

"You've never been heartbroken." Smile again, try to look strong.

"Jeez Dy, we're still young times. Broken one grows a thousand, break up yeah look for another." Maudy silently did not answer, perhaps thinking of Agam's talk.

"Where's your boyfriend gam?" Kiki asked.

"A week has broken up if he's mah, don't ask." Haikal replied casually, Agam immediately elbowed his friend's arm.

Damn*n could be my bad reputation in front of Maudy later!

"Tuh gam? What's this Playboy cap?" Kiki seemed interested in this conversation.

Before Agam answered, the seller came to bring their order. Maybe it's Agam's luck, it can divert the conversation.

"Ah fresh." Haikal said as he sipped his young coconut ice.

"Dy, that's a lot. You're the one who said that if you're not eating rawit just." Whispering in Maudy's ear.

Without answering Maudy immediately took the fried food and some crab in his hand. Sipping his ice, and taking the next fry, even the others had not touched it. Agam was stunned to see Maudy eating so much cayenne.

"It's already." Forced take when Maudy will eat back. "Later you have a stomachache." His face looks worried.

"Let's have gam. He's a regular."

"Crocodiles are in action." Haikal muttered and whistled.

They talk again like young people, Maudy only occasionally makes a sound, the rest is just silent. At most Kiki who looks enthusiastic, from the eyes of Maudy he can know, if his best friend is interested in Agam. But Agam responds more to him.

"Hurry a minute." This was the second time Kiki answered the phone and walked away. But Maudy is still careless, there is no way she will pick up the phone here, there will be Agam and Haikal, he thought.

"Dy?" Glancing towards Agam. "We're back yuk? Papa I called, said I should go home now don't know anything."

Maudy nodded.

"I'm sorry our gam first, thank you for the deal." This is the second time Kiki who said thank you, before when free to eat at the cafe owned by Agam also Kiki who said thank you.

"Ah yes please. Be careful, huh?" Kiki walked first.

"Thank you gam, I'm gam first, Haikal?" Haikal smiled and nodded.

"Eh wait for Dy?" Pull Maudy's arm before she steps away. Maudy looked at Agam's hand that touched her.

"Well reply to my message?" Smiling friendly. Maudy also could not lie, if the man in front of him was also handsome.

"Ah yes." Smile and leave.

"Cie, just starting to break up with Rina." Agam just laughed.

I don't know why I'm interested in this woman, so different from other women. No jaim, it does not have to always look beautiful, just natural.

"Maudy's dream must be?" Haikal guessed again. And that's true.

"If I could go on a date with Maudy, you'd ask me what I'd love." Smiling meaningfully.

"How come there's a car parked in my yard? Whose car is this? What's dad's guest? But my door is still closed." Own wonder. Maudy immediately got off when Kiki's car stopped and parked her next to the car that is currently in her yard.

"I don't know, maybe your neighbor's guests, they don't have a big page like you." Kiki got out of her car too.

"Eh, but I know this car." Thinking for a moment. "This isn't your papa's car?"

Kiki immediately rounded her eyes.

"Huh? Where could Dy. Papa's car isn't this the plate. Ah you ngaco, ah let's go in?" Kiki pulled out her phone, and was busy texting. But Maudy left him and walked first.

"Mom." Knocking door.

How lonely anyway? Did mom go?

"Ki?" Calling Kiki whose way down is focusing on her phone.

"Yes, why?" As he approached Maudy.

"Sepi, did you leave?"

"Why ask me, just try to open it not in the key?" Advice Kiki.

Maudy holds the door handle and wiggles it. But the door is locked.

"Ah yes they are gone. How about to go in try." Get upset and sit on the porch of his house.

"Where do your parents usually put the keys?"

"Attent. Usually placed near a flower pot." Walk towards the place where his parents usually keep.

"It's there!" Smiled happily and showed in front of Kiki's face while shaking her.

Maudy opened it, and entered.

"Come Ki? You don't want to stop by first?" Stop the steps before going inside.

"Yes come by." Come inside.

Just a few steps in.

"Happy birthday." Shouts his little family.

Aunt Ratih, about Septian? Dan, I'm not wrong. Is this Aunt Lisa? Is there a Bima Papa too? What's the matter, actually? Geez, I even forgot my birthday, because Bima killed me!

"Blow dong dear candle. How to daydream." Mother reprimands.

Maudy still did not expect, she blew out the candle and turned around. Asking all the explanations to Kiki. Because he couldn't possibly not know about this plan.

Bima where?

Maudy still hopes there is Bima here.

"Happy birthday, Dy?" Kiki hugged him. But Maudy was still silently grumbling. He was like a dream at this time, seeing there was aunt Lisa, if Kiki's parents he was not too surprised, but this time there could even be aunt Lisa. The parents of the child who broke her heart.

Means Bima did not come because there is no relationship with me. And Kiki, she owes me the same explanation.

"You looking for Bima? He's in the kitchen, again ready for you." Again these words make him sculpt, even his brain is full of thoughts that form various options.

Flashbacks.

Milky.

Today I can't wait for my mom to come home, because today she's going to school to get my graduation papers. I'm also sure that I graduated, and that's for sure. That's just not what I'm waiting for, because I told you that you'd meet Maudy's parents. That's all I want to ask you later when you get home. Fuck my graduation letter.

At noon, I heard the sound of a car entering the yard. Obviously I heard, I was not in the room, I was willing to fall on the sofa to quickly meet mama. Mama must not be surprised by my nature, what else she also knows about my relationship with Maudy, and mama also did not mind.

"Ma? How's it?" I spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Yes you graduated Bim. Congratulations, my mom is a grown up now." I grabbed her by the arm and invited her to sit on the sofa.

"Ma, that's not what I want to hear. If it's all students will also know it must pass ma." My face was already pouting because I thought the cooking mama didn't know what her son meant.

Mom smiled.

"Yes, my mom met Maudy's parents. Her name is Irma, right?" My mother's words made me smile again.

"So how's ma? The guy's good, isn't he ma?" I'm getting closer and closer to my seat to my mom. Like I didn't give the slightest gap for mama to leave before telling everything to me.

"It's good, it's worth Maudy as well. Mama is sure her parents educated her very well, proving her son has decency." I floated high into the air seeing my girlfriend in praise.

"Mama also met her mother Kiki. His name is Ratih." I don't want to hear about others, but I'm ready to hear.

"Look Bim, you had gone out to eat with Maudy and her mother Kiki. Well, suddenly her mom Kiki asked her mom Maudy, she said Maudy's soon to be her birthday, right? And Maudy's mother said yes, even he had forgotten, even Kiki's parents reminded him. Means Maudy is very close with Kiki's family? Evidently they were very attentive with the boy." I just nodded and waited for my mom to speak again.

"So of course, Kiki's mom gave me an idea of how to surprise Maudy, uh her mom agreed, and so did my mom. Yes, there will be a plan for Maudy to surprise, and this is also done because in two weeks Maudy will go abroad. Consider this a farewell meal with Maudy." I was silent, now mama looked at my face, my face was sad to hear the last sentence of mama.

"Have you calmed down, where would a soul mate be? Don't you want to surprise Maudy?"

"You want ma. Hem yes ma. I'm going to my room, ma?" I was willing to go into the room, as usual I was standing on the balcony and venting with the wind, about my current feelings.

The day of farewell arrived, not felt. I should be sad that I'm going to part with everything, part with my school uniform. But today I kept smiling, remembering what my mother planned to do. And when Maudy focused on talking to Widya's mom, this was my chance to ask Kiki if she knew it or not.

"Yes Bim, did my mom say that too? Congratulations, you're coming to Maudy's house with your mom again." His words make me more excited to live the day.

"I have Ki's plan." I made a deal with Kiki to keep this a secret.

"Are you sure Bim?" It was like I was afraid I would make this decision. I nodded my head sure.

Our talks had to stop when Maudy was back. I'll continue it on my phone later. That's what I intended.

And today, I went to the beach with Maudy. This is the second time a wonderful moment has happened, I don't want to waste this opportunity. I purposely told Kiki to stay away and asked her to take some of our candid photos, clearly without Maudy's knowledge. And I also asked Kiki to edit it, like any other couple, to look romantic.

At night I went home. I also called my mom. It turned out to be safe, papa went out of town for two days with mas Rio. papa chased all his work because soon the Rio mas will get married. So that later not bothered, because Rio mas will definitely go on a honeymoon.

After driving Maudy home, I did stop by one of the gas stations that provide public WC. I changed clothes, then I went to one of the famous good music store. I bought a guitar as a gift for Maudy. I was always smiling in the car, maybe I was like crazy. And when I got home, I called Kiki, ready to execute my plan.

I was forced to do this, because this was a small part of my surprise for her later. I decided, after sending the message I lay down and shed my tears, yes I cried. With a thousand apologies I said without Maudy hearing it.

Early in the morning I woke up, and I couldn't wait to come to Maudy's house. I sent a message to Kiki several times asking for her whereabouts. Turns out Kiki said she was going to Maudy's house. I breathed a sigh of relief, at least I will know the news of my girlfriend through Kiki.

At 11. Mama yelled at me, I immediately rushed down the stairs.

"Yes ma?"

"You ready? We're leaving right now, 'cause mommy wants to help Maudy's mom cook today." Mama went back to check the contents of her bag, I don't know what she brought me either.

Adi Nugroho's wife, my mother. He came and helped cook. This has shown that mom really loves Maudy. I immediately picked up the guitar that was already in his bag. By carrying her I brought her to the car. I was like going to propose today.

"Bim, if Maudy leaves in two weeks, it means it coincides with your mas event?" Deg, my heart is beating. That means I can't take Maudy to the airport. I'm happy today, but I'm not happy to hear this news. This is the sad news of my life.

When I was at Maudy's house, Kiki called me. Asking about our relationship, I know that right now Maudy must be listening. And I gave an excuse that I was called mama. Though because there was his father who came to me who was now sitting on the sofa alone. We talked a lot, it turns out that Maudy's father was a good person, he was also friendly. I feel comfortable talking to him.

Until the afternoon my mind was not calm, where did they go? Because cooking and decorating aunty Ratih style has not been completed so we have to call kiki do not first go home.

An hour later, when everything was done, the simple decor was also done, the cuisine was already. Kiki sent a message that they were already on the page now. My heart is pounding, I can't wait to see Maudy's reaction. And finally.

"Happy birthday." The sound reached the kitchen. Yes I did not come to surprise congratulations, I was still afraid, afraid that Maudy took everything seriously, including our relationship. Forgive me dear. I am ready to kneel later.

Bima.
