Is There Love

Raining

Part 12's

The sky is not so friendly tonight. The sky is cloudy, the moon is only faint, and no star is shining. I felt the wind that was blowing fast, penetrating deep into the body. On one side, I heard the sound of rain and felt the water drip from the sky.

“Hey, let's go. It will rain soon,” said brother Gavin as he pulled my arm, giving the code to leave immediately.

“Em.” I gave a small nod, agreeing with Gavin's invitation.

The thunderous roar of lightning sounded deafening, and the speck of rainwater was trickling faster. I ran with Gavin's brother to the car. Unknowingly, Brother Gavin held my arm up to the car. There we rushed inside, and Gavin's brother immediately drove his car. Gavin shut all the windows of the car, and turned on the car heater.

“The rain outside is very heavy, and the air is very cold. So I closed all the windows, and turned on the heater. You don't mind, do you?” ask brother Gavin.

“No. It's better,” I replied.

“Oh yes, I'm sorry. When you came home from the hospital, I couldn't come and pick you up. I couldn't see him either, because I was so tired. My schedule is also solid.” Gavin's gaze was still straight ahead, but a small smile was on his lips.

“It's okay, I understand. Thank you, my brother is very nice to me. Every human being, must have a sense of fatigue.” I turned to look at Brother Gavin, then smiled a little.

“Ryn, if only, I could ask for one thing. Do you want to grant it?” I was surprised to hear Gavin's words, but I kept trying to calm down. My mind went haywire. Just now that we got to know him, he wanted to ask me something? What does Gavin want from me? Is his good attitude yesterday just sweetener? Haah, lest Gavin's brother want to mean evil to me by taking advantage of the current situation? I often find the facts of the field, a man can do anything he wants under these circumstances. Under these circumstances, who can help? In addition to heavy rain, the condition of the streets began to deserted. And in this condition, women can be fairly weak, when compared to men.

I became afraid, and more and more bad thoughts perched in my head. I'm afraid, if later he did what was not appropriate for me. Ah, why did I become such a pervert all of a sudden? But there's no harm, right? It's natural, not made up, or intentional. Field facts also say a lot like that. Nope, no. I had to throw away my bad thoughts.

“What does Brother want?” many doubt.

“Can we be friends? That's if you don't mind. Ever since I lost my best friend, I never trusted women again. My friends often make fun of me, because I'm too indifferent to be with women. Although many women approached me, but I never had any interest at all. Because I know, they only see me through the outer appearance, also because of the popularity.” I'm glad I heard Gavin's reply. It turns out right, my thoughts about Gavin's brother are wrong, even wrong.

“That's it? Why me?” my many.

“Iya, enough of that. Because I trust you. You are different from most of the women I meet. I know, not just any guy you want to know. Sorry, if that makes you object.” Brother Gavin turned his head towards me, and looked at me seriously.

“Truely just that? Brother's not playing me, is he?” many doubt. Although I feel relieved, but on the one hand there are still doubts. I often see in screen dramas, men often talk sweetly just to cover up a sneaky plan.

“Making how? Don't you think the no-no?” ask brother Gavin suspiciously. My face became suddenly red.

“Aaa, I know. You must be afraid I'll do something, right? Don't be lewd, I won't do that low by taking advantage of the situation.“ Brother Gavin chuckled. While I was, my face became like a boiled crab. It feels so shameful.

“It's not true. I didn't think that far, my elak”.

“Drrttt, ddrrrttt,drrttt.” My phone shook, and I saw a short message from Alby's sister.

“Where are you now?” ask Alby via that short message.

“On the road, I'm on my way home. Why?” my reply.

“Buyin me meatball dong, mumpung you are still outside. Laper nih, rain-rain good eating an anget-anget, hehe.” It was good to use the atmosphere, I thought.

“No. Buy it yourself, Brother did not send money to me,” reply me.

“Yeah, so stingy is my own brother. Really counting. Now owe first, later if it has arrived at the house Brother change the money.” I deliberately didn't reply to him, only I read. And then I put it in my jacket pocket. I take a short breath.

“Kak, after this can we stop by to buy meatballs for a while?” I asked Gavin. It feels a little bad too, ask for help.

“You hungry? I just wanted to offer you a meal, but you already invited me. Then let's eat together. I'm hungry too,” take Brother Gavin.

“No, not so actually. Brother Alby asked me to buy him a meatball. But, yes, we eat together. I mean, let's just say it's dinner,”.

“Ya, okay. I know a good meatball stall,”.

Long story short, brother Gavin drove the car to the place of the meatball stall. Not long after, we arrived at our destination.

“Rain is still heavy, wear this to enter into.” Gavin's brother thrusts the jacket he took from the back seat.

“I? I've been wearing a jacket, it's better if Brother wears it,” reject me.

“No, no. I'm fine, you're all right. Use this as an umbrella. Sorry, I don't have an umbrella in the car.” Brother Gavin thrusts him closer.

“Kakak need it more, I can use my jacket as umbrella.” I see Gavin's brother looking at me deeply. I take a short breath.

“Alright, we just wear it together,” take me. Brother Gavin was silent, and still looked at me with the same gaze. It seems like he's daydreaming this time.

“Hey, Brother. Let's go out,” invite me while waving your hands in front of his face.

“Oh yes, of course. Let's go out, and eat,” he replied.

Brother Gavin rushed out of the car, and so did I. Just as I was outside, Gavin's brother was paddling me with his jacket. When I looked at him, almost our faces collided. We were silent for a moment, and we looked at each other. Our faces are so close now.

“Oh sorry, let's go in,” invite brother Gavin to melt the atmosphere. I gave a small nod, agreeing with Gavin's invitation.

“Pak meatballs two bowls yes, and warm tea two cups.” I ordered the meatballs as soon as we got there, and then we looked for a seat.

“Good Neng, wait a minute,” said Mr. meatball seller assented.

“Wear this, you look very cold.” Brother Gavin suddenly put his jacket on my back. I was surprised, then turned to look at Brother Gavin.

“No, this is not necessary. I just stabilized my cold cheeks, just use Gavin's sister, you need him more.” I took Gavin's jacket, and gave it back. Mr. Gavin seemed to want to say something, but his attention was diverted by Mr. meatball seller who came to bring orders.

“This is the order, please eat,” said Mr. meatball seller while putting two bowls of meatballs and two glasses of warm tea.

“Thank you sir,” I said then smiled a little.

Me and Gavin's sister enjoyed the meatballs, and they were delicious. This dinner, became my first dinner with brother Gavin. In the past, other than Alby's sister, I never ate, or went out with a man who wasn't my family, except for Kenzhi. It's because I've known him since I was a kid. If it rains like this, I remember a memory with Kenzhi.

#####

As usual, I went back on foot with Kenzhi. It was late afternoon, but I didn't go home. We, bought our subscription toast, then went to the lake. Kenzhi forced me to go there, I rejected him, but he kept pushing. Up there, we sat under a tree by the lake.

“Hurry to open, I'm very hungry,” Kenzhi said impatiently.

“I'm opening it, patience a little.” I looked at him half cynically.

“You have no idea how tormented I am today. I am very tired, also very hungry,” he lamented.

“I know, so shut up. Since we left class, you have said it many times,”, I said half-calling.

“Quick eating. After that we go home,” I said cuek. Kenzhi shifted his seat closer to me. I dodged, but he kept pushing me

.

“Do not approach. You're a fuckin' thing? I've shifted, but you keep pushing me.” I looked at him this time.

“Can you be a little sweet to me? I just want us to be able to enjoy the afternoon in peace.” Kenzhi looked at me seriously. My mind became confused. I'm silent, in my heart it's like to be at peace with you, but because of circumstances, I won't be able to. I'm still not ready, if you know my true feelings.

“No. I can't,” answered me, then turned my face away.

“Why? Are you afraid of getting carried away by my feelings?” That question is right for me now, but I try to stay calm, and not respond. Though, in my heart I would love to answer, ‘Iya. Yes, I'm afraid of being carried away. In fact, more than that.’

“No. I've always behaved like this, because you're lazy, people like to be ignorant, and talk a lot like women. Not only that, you always take advantage of the situation if you are with me. Don't you get carried away by my feelings. Come, ngaku?” I see him getting cynical.

“If I'm really carried away how do I feel? What are you going to do?” ask Kenzhi.

“Already, I don't want to discuss this. Talk to you it so digress, everywhere is not clear direction,” my elak. I picked up a piece of chocolate jam bread and put it in my mouth. By eating, it had become enough of a reason for me to end the conversation.

Not long after we finished eating, I felt a speck of rain dripping down my hands. The longer the faster, and there was a heavy rain. I ran with Kenzhi, because there was no house around, so we decided to go home. Without me noticing, Kenzhi's hand held tightly to my right arm. At home, we sat in a long chair on the terrace. In addition to unwinding, we also regulate breathing that was irregular. After a bit of calm, I invited him into the house. But the house was locked. Fortunately I brought a spare key, so I could go in.

Kenzhi sat in the living room, while I went to the room to change clothes. I also took a change of clothes for Kenzhi. My intention, I wanted to borrow Alby's shirt, but the room was locked. I had to lend you my shirt, and among the many t-shirts on the floor, there was only one that fit. I quickly went downstairs to meet Kenzhi

“This, quickly use.” I throw a T-shirt at him. The shirt is white, in the middle of which is a Hello Kitty picture.

“What! Really, am I wearing this? No, I won't wear it, ” reject Kenzhi who was surprised after seeing the shirt I gave it there is a picture of Hello Kitty.

“Do not protest much, there is only this suitable. I've been to Alby's room, and it's locked. So, I searched my room, and there was only this,”. With a forced face, Kenzhi also wears it. I wanted to laugh and see Kenzhi wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt, but I asked him.

“Rain has subsided, I will go home now,” he said with a disappointed look.

“Don't be sad so, smile dong?” godaku's.

“Don't mock.if not for being forced, I won't wear it,” he said in self-defense.

“I'm not mocking. After all, this shirt also merits you,” I said.

“Iya-iya. I'll go home first,”

.

kenzhi said goodbye. I didn't answer, just nodded. After Kenzhi came home, I laughed. I let go of the laughter I had been holding since. Apparently, she wants to wear Hello Kitty T-shirts, too.

Without feeling it, my bowl meatballs are over. I glanced at Brother Gavin, and there it was over.

“Go home now?” ask brother Gavin.

“Bby, it's getting late too. Oh yeah, a minute. I'll order one pack for Brother Alby.” I almost forgot.

“Ya, okay. I'll wait,” said Mr. Gavin.

“Pak. Order one more bowl of meatballs, but just wrapped,” I said order.

“Siap Neng, wait a minute.“ The meatball salesman quickly prepared the order.

Not long after the order was ready, and the seller's father thrust it at me. When Brother Gavin wanted to pay for his meal, I refused. It doesn't taste good either, if Gavin's brother pays. He helped me a lot today. After paying, I was taken home.
