I Want A Normal Life: No Romance
#23 - Holiday(an!) - 2
KRIIINNGGGG
TIP
“...”
“Today, yes?”
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
“Tumben, sis, this hour has woken up, usually if your sister's holiday gini still sleeping.” Jefran.
“I want to go first.”
I walked into the bathroom that was definitely empty to take a shower.
“Ivi said to gather first at the school, before going to the station..”.
“...”
I had breakfast and got ready on the porch.
“Tino also said to go straight to school without having to approach him..”.
“...”
I left alone for school, Ivi seemed to say the gathering place at the front stop of the school.
...
...
...
“Hoi, Razox!” Greet someone who is at the stop.
It was Lulu, she had arrived. It seems that others have also arrived, such as Ivi, Tino, Kevin, even the girl has been there, it seems like I was the last one to arrive, all of them are very excited for the holidays, until they came early, he said, this is definitely because all costs are covered.
“Alright, everything is present, yes.” Said Ivi while holding a piece of paper.
“We order a taxi from here to go to station.” Ivi.
“Tino, please order us 2 cars for us.”
“Eh? Not 1 only?” Tanya Tino had taken out her phone.
“No, our number is quite a lot, later the taxi will not fit all ktia.”
“Good..”.
Not long after 2 taxis came and we boarded, as well as headed to the station for our departure.
...
“Alright, here's a ticket for each of you.” Said Ivi gave us a train ticket.
Looking at the contents of the ticket, it turns out that the seat has been determined, even though I want to sit near the window. I wish I could.
“Eh? Is the seat set this way? I want to sit next to my girlfriend!” Juniardo.
“Ah, it's just a formality, later you can change places according to our seats only, all 1 car and adjacent, kok.” Ivi.
The girl looked at the ticket, then saw Ivi.
“Ivi, later I sit next to you, yes.”
“Oh, of course, our ticket seats are also adjacent.”
“Umm... Razox.” Kevin suddenly approached me.
“What?”
“Can I switch places with you?”
“Why?”
“I accidentally saw the girl's ticket, and it turns out she was sitting next to me.” Said Kevin while pointing at Lulu.
“What's the reason?”
“I don't feel good sitting next to someone I don't know. I can feel awkward during the trip.”
“Ummm... Okay, do you know who I'm sitting with? I just don't know.”
“Try me to see your ticket.”
“Come, everyone! Our train is leaving soon!” Shouted Ivi.
“Uh, later, Kevin, we go up to our carriage first.”
“...”
...
...
...
I should've expected it, I was sitting next to Tino, and Kevin didn't trade the ticket, he stayed next to Lulu. And next to us is Ivi and the girl. It's like in class! I need a new mood!
“...”
But all those words just stuck in my mind, I dare not argue about this.
...
Not many conversations occurred during the trip, I only saw a scene that I rarely saw in the middle of the city. Sleep, wake up, see others sleeping, and sleep again.
...
8 Hours we were on our way to East Java, and finally we arrived. It's still daytime, I can still see the sun, even though it looks like it's going to set.
“What city is this?” Ask the girl
“Yogyakarta.” Answer Ivi.
“Wah, I like the atmosphere of his old town.” Say the girl.
“Haa... finally!” Kevin looks very relieved.
“Alright, now we go to the inn we used to put our stuff.” Ivi.
“Where will we stay?” Ask Junardo.
“Hotel, star hotel, not far from here, kok.” Ivi replied while looking at her phone.
“Tino, please order 2 more taxis to go to that place, yes.”
“Good..”.
...
We went to the hotel in a taxi booked by Tino.
Once there, we were immediately greeted by hotel staff and brought our belongings.
“Woh! Look!” Shouted Tino.
“Iya! Cool, yes!” Shouts Kevin too.
“Sorry, they have never been to a hotel like this before.” Said Ivi to the hotel clerk who brought our things.
“Nothing, Mistress, it is one of our customer satisfaction.” Said the hotel official.
“Uh, thank you, by the way, where is the reception desk?”
“Price, Mistress.” Said the hotel clerk pointing at his reception desk with a thumbs up.
Uh, here the ethics are too good, I don't feel like I deserve to be here.
“Thank you.”
“Alright, everyone, wait here, I'll book our room first.” Said Ivi who walked over to the reception desk.
“...”
“I didn't think we'd stay at a hotel like this.” Said Juniardo who looked amazed.
“Yaa.. I think also we will stay at a halfway house, or in a hut, or somewhere else.” Further.
“Friends, let's go to our room.” Said Ivi who had just returned.
“Our room is on the 6th floor, let's go there.”
...
Arriving at the 6th floor, Ivi explained about the division of rooms. There are 3 rooms we rent, 2 for women, and another one for men.
“Alright, for room division, this room will be filled by me, Love, Lulu, and Lisa.” Ivi.
“While the room next to it is filled by Claudia, Tasla, Rani, and Yuli.”
“And the last room will be filled by the men.”
“Eh? Anyone?” Ask Tino.
“Of course you guys, you guys ‘kan only four.” Answer Ivi.
Me, Tino, Kevin, and Juniardo.
“... huhu... Why do I have to room with him again??” Complain Tino.
“Er... Diviana, I want to rent my own room for me and my boyfriend.” Juniardo.
“Can't, besides you guys it's not an official couple yet, the price of hotel room rental here is quite expensive, you might not be able to pay it, even if it's only overnight.” Reply Ivi.
“Uhh... alright..” Juniardo looked disappointed.
“Everyone, go to each other's rooms, put your things down, then we'll get ready to go again, where do you want us, Love?” Ask Ivi.
“I want to go to the beach with you.” Answer the girl.
“Alright, we will soon gather again to go to the beach.” Said Ivi while giving the room key to Claudia and Tino.
“Good.”
We all went to our rooms and got ready.
There was no conversation going on while I was in the room, we who were in the room just put things down and changed clothes, then went straight out again.
“...”
“All are present?”
“It looks like it's complete.”
“Then, let's go.”
---
“Uhh... Why don't we just take a taxi???” Complain Tino.
“You don't see the road? It would be a bad idea anyway. And also I've seen the distance of the hotel to the beach on your phone, not far, kok.” Said Ivi who continued to walk with enthusiasm even while pushing the girl's wheelchair.
True too, since what I saw on the road was just traffic, I also just remembered that now is the end of the year where many are on vacation as well. It's gonna be a lot there.
“Iya, anyway, it is not far, but hot.” Complain Tino.
“The ones daritadi complained since we left are just you, look at the others, no one complained.” Ivi pointed at the others behind her.
They seem to want to complain, their way has been staggering and fanning their bodies, and to wipe the sweat that continues to come out of their bodies.
“...”
“...”
---
We finally arrived. But it's already afternoon, the sun will set, and the lighting will be reduced. Ah, it's not a problem for me.
“Huh, you said the distance was close. We should take a taxi.” Complain Tino.
“You didn't see the road? If we take a taxi up here it's definitely night.” My reply pointed at the still crowded street.
“This is precisely a good moment.” Say the girl.
“Come, we have fun while we can.”
“Come!” Excite everyone, except Tino.
But at the end of the day, he's still coming to the beach.
The beach was not crowded because it was late afternoon and we were looking for a quiet place.
Me, Tasla, Rani, and Yuli are just slips, people call this ‘sit-sit pretty’, huh? Though I'm a man.
Juniardo and Claudia play beach water like a couple on vacation to the beach in general.
Tino, Ivi, Lisa, and the girl get together, they make a sand castle together.
Meanwhile Kevin buried himself until the visible from the surface only his head.
Hmm.. It seems that the one who came was not this way.
Who doesn't exist???
...
...
...
Lulu! Where's she?!
He was nowhere to be seen around us.
I have to look for him.
Akh, I forgot how he looked...
And also he's a very clumsy person in socializing, I'm afraid something's going on with him.
Uh, as far as I know he's very often the center of people's attention, that could be my clue!
Will search.
“Tasla, I go to the toilet first, yes.”
“...” Tasla simply replied with a lazy nod.
I ran straight off the beach.
But it is impossible to get off the beach.. does he dare to wear such swimsuits to the public? I just don't dare.
Everyone wasn't wearing swimsuits on their way here either, they changed their clothes, including me, so I thought he was still around here, but the thing was: where?
“Better I just go back.”
...
“Eh?”
I saw someone sitting alone at the end of the pier.
“Looks it was Lulu..”
I walked up to him a little bit and it turned out to be Lulu.
Know that, I went straight to him.
“Lulu!”
“Hm? Razox?”
“What are you doing here alone?” I asked who was sitting next to him.
“...” Lulu did not answer and looked offshore.
I also saw it, there was only sea water as far as the eye could see.
“Razox, actually I'm confused about my life.” Lulu.
“...”
“I'm happy to be able to make friends in High School thanks to you, meanwhile, I'm also confused why I can get friends.”
“You can get more friends.” My words encouraged him.
“No way, you know ‘kan that I was awkward in socializing. And also, I'm friends with them it's not because of my own actions.”
“...”
Right too. I introduced him to everyone.
“It's okay, Lulu. I'll help you to make more friends.”
“Thank you, Razox. But I'm still worried too.”
“What's the problem?”
“On my voice that suddenly changes if I feel awkward, my voice that makes me feel embarrassed also”
“Then from that, so that you are not awkward anymore, you must be friends with many people.”
“...”
“I'll try it..”.
“...”
“Razox.”
“...”
“Tomorrow I'll go downtown to buy souvenirs for my mom.” Lulu.
“Alright, I will accompany you.”
“Thank you.”
This atmosphere...
“Oh yes, Razox.”
“Why have you been helping me all this time?”
“Oh, the..”.
“...”
“Actually I don't need a special reason to help you, I help you because I can. Just look at school, I opened a free consultation service. Yes.. although there is a reason I open the service..”.
“Oh... I'm very grateful for your help during this time..”.
“...”
“Now, let's go back to the beach, don't be far from them, it's getting dark.” Ask me to stand up from my seat.
“Ya.”
We went to them again, playing sand castles together.
“Hei, please lift me.” Kevin is still buried.
Until the day has changed to night...
“Wah, fun.” Say the girl.
“Lulu turns out to be good at making sand castles.” Further.
“Hehe..”.
“Yak, let's go back to hotel.” Tino.
“Hey, I'm still here.” Kevin is still buried.
“Oh yes, lift him first.”
...
After we changed clothes, we regrouped.
“We return to his hotel by taxi only, yes.” Tino.
“Hmm... may be, the road is also not jammed.” Ivi.
“Alright, I'll order..” Tino pulled out her phone.
BEEPING
...
Arriving at the hotel, we had dinner on the hotel balcony.
“Holiday this time is fun, yes. Many are coming.” Say the girl.
“Moreover all paid for by Lulu.” Added.
“Eh?!!” Everything immediately looks shocked.
Meanwhile Lulu just bowed.
“Thank you, Lulu.” Said Kevin.
“Thank you, Lulu.” The others were grateful to Lulu.
“...”
“And because of that, I will refund you.” Ivi.
“Ivi, by the way, what is our agenda for tomorrow? Tomorrow is the end of the year.” My toot.
“Hmm..”
“Honestly, I didn't think of anything..” Ivi.
“Hmm... how about tomorrow's free event only?” Juniardo.
“Yes, I agree with your nest!” Tino.
“...”
“Alright, tomorrow we're free event only.” Ivi.
“But 2 am is already at the hotel, because in the afternoon we will go home again.” Added.
“OK, then we're done eating, ‘kan?” Tino looked at the dishes that were already clean.
“Let's sleep in each room.”
