I Choose You!
#121 Want a Vacation
Next to me was very focused on driving. Right behind me, there were a lot of nervous thoughts. The middle one, drunk. Then, left behind me, was drowning in daydreaming.
We traveled four hours in this car just for a vacation. Why is the inn so dark like this?
Is this what we call teenage turmoil? Is this their form of stress?
Oh, this must also be my form of stress behind being a teenager. I don't think I can find which screw is loose. How do I tighten it?
“Auw!” I was shocked after a sudden knock struck my forehead.
Papa, you just have to drive. Don't try to destroy me! Look ahead. Focus on the road!
“What the hell?” I looked at him unhappily while holding my forehead.
“Awas possessed.”
What does papa want anyway?!
Back I hugged my bag, “Indeed papa believes that so.”
“There is something next to Rasyi.”
I'm speechless. My eyes are directed to the right and left of my shoulders. Trying to find what he means.
Uh, wait, “Papa... indigo?”
“No.”
Aaa... te, continue?! What is our conversation about?!!
Stop laughing, pa! Focus on the road!!
My mouth doesn't want to talk to this guy anymore. Choco cream that adjoins the stick cake is back. No matter if papa still laughs at my careless face.
Papa's phone that was deliberately in the car's headband changed its appearance. From the digital map display, it becomes the waiting room for incoming calls.
I initiated the lifting of the aunt Ira call, “Tante~”
“It's in front right?” papa is still engrossed with the steering and various other features of the car.
[“But, here, we use the twisting path. Said it jammed.”]
Rizki followed every road the car took in front of us. Hendra's family was driving and turned right. Makes me wonder if the driver was Mr. Fares.
Nah! Don't think he keeps going every second! I will be tired myself!
My phone has a new message. In the midst of waking up, I opened the screen and checked.
Lah? A firna?
[Rashy]
The emotion of sad face becomes the nickname's one-word friend. What is this already?
I replied with a question mark sticker to the friend who was clearly sitting behind me.
[Gpa]
Nothing yet, he had abandoned his intentions. Whahuh? She thinks I'll interfere more with her love decisions?
Sure was!
The chance he had previously let fly like that was all. That's a good opportunity! Everyone had gone home and school was not so crowded at that time. Whispering slowly to say feelings is not difficult.
He even came back with the story that all the way they just kept quiet?!
Huuh! I'm getting too emotional. Today should be a holiday. Pile of burden of mind and stress, please disappear first for a moment. The beach is in sight.
“Already.... until..?” The saga that I didn't expect turned out to be land drunk. Surely he wanted to get out of the four wheels that were deadly to him.
“Hmm,” papa answered as is.
[“We instantly search for small-time tents.”]
Ira's phone call that is still connected is vaguely visible noisy voice Daffa spirit.
The little boy was lucky to not be sick anymore. If it is not healed, this birthday celebration plan will not be implemented. After all, birthday gifts remain a gift. And all this was planned long ago. It's a pity that it won't be in the end.
Parked both of our cars between a simple gazebo of wood. Enough for us who are only ten.
Down the car and move the items to the gazebo after the rental transaction is completed.
We're ready to play.
“Mama come~” Daffa ready to play water pulling Ira
Though Ira is still trying to take off her jacket, “Iya briefly.”
Once ready, this swim-loving mother and daughter finally leave. Although we were still busy taking a small break with food after getting out of the car.
“Riz, by one. How?” Hendra shows the volleyball in front of papa.
Volleyball?
Papa's? Can you play volleyball? I don't think papa's a person familiar with sports.
“I just found out uncle can play volleyball,” Firna, don't ask me. I don't know either.
Sari laughed as she opened the bekel, “They both are indeed volleyball clubs fitting SMA.”
Ooohs....
Gee. What is this view?!
These two handsome men play volleyball in the warm sun of the beach. With beach clothes. Nah! Lots of kids here!
“At the time so forget that they are gents...,” I get a little scared.
Firna was not even in doubt fascinated, “Hmm mm...”.
Sari laughs, “So?”
How not? Beachgoers were busy watching, even though a few minutes ago they did not see his face. Both of these men are dangerous too.
However, if the handsome....
I looked at Fares, who was sitting on the side of the gazebo. Sinking up the sleeves of his responsibility t-shirt.
Silence like that is cool~
Oh, our eyes meet each other!
“Bu, Fares directly follow Daffa,” Brother Fares?
“Loh, don't eat first?”
Fares smiled, “If I eat first, it should be two hours just wait to swim.”
“Oh, so yes...”
From behind his back, Fares looked upright and walked away, “Fares stay huh?”
“Do not swim too to the middle of loh.”
Fares doesn't like swimming very much. It must be the reason he got so excited like that.
“You didn't swim?” Sari looked at us.
“You play volleyball first aunt,” Vian replied.
Volleyball huh? Aaa! Uncle Hendra wins!
“One more round?” Hendra looked confident.
“No, thanks,” papa looks tired.
“We borrow the ball, uncle!” Saga is recovering?
Huuuh. But confusion makes everything gray. I don't want to move from my place.
“Ras~” Firna?
I smiled in a sweet pose facing the camera phone. Looks like Firna's getting fed up with not being able to tell her love story. Soon he'll be taking me around and hunting selfies.
“Paman~” is it? Daffa's back? “Come! Belang!”
“Aduh, Daffa,” Ira seems to run out, “Uncle Iki do not swim dear~”
“Ga wants! Same page Dappa!”
Crying again. The weapon of dah. See, even Ira looked at papa expectantly.
Hm? Papa take off his jacket? And throw it in my face?! Really?!
“Come,” papa extended his hand to Daffa.
“Yee!!” Daffa replied to papa's hand.
Oh. That's why you wear a jacket without a shirt. You prepared it, right?
Looks like these three people are moving away towards the beach. Daffa who asked to be held in the middle of these two people, seemed happy even from behind. All three seemed....
My eyes are focused in the other direction. As long as my mind was still focused on my own musings, I could hear the commotion over there. A couple and their happy son. A happy family.
Aaaa.. like a whole family huh?
A look back at Rizki and the two people. Can't let go of my sudden random response towards the three of them.
I think I'm starting to understand why I always remember Sekar when I face this scene. Just like when I see a family I don't have. They are too happy to feel crowded.
What... I'm not⏤
“Fir, Race,” Saga suddenly shout, “Voli here! Two against two!”
Well. I'm here for the holidays. Time to use the sand and the ocean.
