Chapter 6 Rain falls part 2

I was still standing in the lobby noticing the raindrops that still seemed reluctant to stop. I let out a rough sigh observing the surroundings and did not find a taxi at all, how could I go home? Ah I should have just followed the words of Brother Ega to go home. I pulled out my phone from my bag and planned to call Ega's sister, who knows if Ega's surgery is over so she can come here to pick me up.

" The rain is getting bigger, isn't it?"

I was shocked, as soon as my phone slipped out of my hand and fell to the floor without even contacting Brother Ega, I turned to the source of the voice and found Zean's face very close to my ear. I pegged for a moment, after trying to set the rhythm of my heart that seemed like it was going to jump out.

" The phone's off!" Brother Zean took my phone and handed it to me without the slightest guilt of having shocked me and dropped my phone.

I took my phone out of Zean's hands, flipped through my phone to ascertain what Zean said. And sure enough my phone is dead and it looks like it's broken. How is this, I haven't even had time to tell Brother Ega. I wish I could get home before Brother Ega. After almost half an hour of waiting in the lobby finally rained back lace. I started to get nervous because it was getting late and I never found a taxi. I see the clock in my hand, the time shows at 21:10 WIB and the atmosphere of the Mall still looks crowded. Where did Zean go? I murmured in my heart that I did not find the figure of Brother Zean around me. Maybe he's home? Without saying goodbye to me? I don't know what's important now how I can get home. I

out of the lobby intending to walk out of the Mall area hoping that there would be a taxi or anything that could take me home, suddenly a red sports bike stopped in front of me.

" Ride, I'm anther home!" Take the owner of the motorbike while opening his helmet.

" Brother Zean."

" Yes, i'm. Let's go hunt the malems!" It's hard to get a taxi at this hour, especially when it's raining." he explained while giving a helmet to me.

" Not nicotine?" I asked just a stale base.

Brother Zean just shook his head, I grabbed the helmet from Zean's arm, put it on and rushed up on the bike before Brother Zean changed his mind. During the journey we just fell silent, dissolved in each other's minds. The cold started to pierce my skin, moreover I just wore a short-sleeved shirt and forgot to bring a jacket. After a few minutes passed Brother Zean stopped his motorbike on the side of the road, I was just silent because I was confused why Brother Zean stopped when my house was still quite far away. Oh my God I forgot to tell you where my home address is to Brother Zean, maybe Brother Zean wants to ask you the address so he stops. But it's not like Brother Zean ever drove me to that time with Fajar. I don't know if maybe he's tired of carrying this big bike.

" Feed first, I'm hungry!" Take Zean's brother who is horrified more like an order.

" What do you want to eat?" Pointing to some tents standing across the street.

" I'm sorry, you're not used to eating on the side of the road, how do we find a restaurant?"Ask again because I haven't got an answer.

" No, no, I don't eat there!" my answer is to accept Zean's offer and not have time to refuse.

" What do you want to eat? How 'bout.. " His words hang, his eyes look busy looking for a place to eat that fits his taste, maybe.

" Fried rice." We talked together, looked at each other and threw smiles.

Finally we agreed to eat fried rice, brother Zean again drove his motorcycle to one of the tents selling fried rice. I got off the bike, got into the tent and ordered.

" Bang nasi gorengnya two, one fried chicken rice, pedes ya bang, do not forget to add two eggs, half mateng ya bang!"my message.

" What kind of fried rice does Zean want?" ask me to Brother Zean who is standing behind me.

" It's the same." Then go and sit on the plastic chair that is available inside the tent.

" Same bang, don't forget the eggs are half mateng." I repeat the order.

" What's neng drinking?" Ask the salesman.

" Sweet tea angel bang, two yes." Add me.

I walked towards Brother Zean and sat down across from Zean, we sat facing each other who was blocked by a table. Suddenly Brother Zean stretched out his hand and hung in the air with his palm up.

" Your phone.!" Pinta, brother Zean, solved my confusion.

" What's wrong with my phone?" I asked curious but still took it out of the bag and handed it to Brother Zean.

" Tomorrow let me take it to the service center, I saw it in the Mall there and it was closed . I'm sorry, because it surprises you, your phone is broken". He said that made me surprised not to believe the words of Brother Zean when I had a bad idea to him earlier.

" I can really do it myself, brother, anyways I'm careless less careful, this is not the fault of brother.!" I felt bad and tried to take my phone from Zean's hands but failed because my phone had moved into the pocket of Zean's pants.

After a while our order came and broke the awkwardness I felt. Brother Zean looks surprised to see my order fried rice, maybe he just did not hear clearly what I ordered and played say the same.

" With two half-baked eggs?" He said as he pointed at the plate of fried rice in front of him.

" Hmm." Answer's short.

" How many cows are there?" ask me while feeding a spoon to the mouth.

" two!"

" What's this called?" I pointed the spoon at the egg we were discussing.

" Snap eggs." The answer was steady and still did not start eating.

" No, no, another name?" My rebut.

" Egg of beef" he replied.

" When a cow's eye egg, how much should it be? I asked again while holding back laughter looking at Brother Zean's expression.

" two."

" That's true!" I answered while clicking my finger and smiling .

" aa... It's up to you, hahaha." Reply with a wry laugh and start scooping the fried rice.

Afterwards we ate quietly, occasionally I looked towards Brother Zean who seemed to be focusing on his food, he seemed to be enjoying his meal a lot and it seemed like he was really hungry , look how greedy he is to eat his fried rice. I subconsciously smiled seeing Brother Zean eat, then I refocused on my food and finished it without any leftovers.

" May I ask your name?" Ask politely.

" I have to know your name or something I can call if I want to return this phone right.!" It is clear further.

" Prilania." I always introduce my first name to someone I know. Then I took out Ega's business card and gave it to Zean's brother.

" That's my brother's number, Brother Zean can accommodate him if my phone is fixed and hmmmm may I ask for Zean's account number, I will transfer the repair fee?"

" Can't you pay with the others? Like taking me to dinner, maybe?" Bargainly.

" Maybe not." I answered half in doubt.

" Hm." The answer was brief and without asking for further explanation as to why I had declined the offer.

" Come home now?" Ask again.

I just nodded then I stood up, stepping away from Brother Zean who was still seen enjoying his warm sweet tea. I walked towards the fried rice seller while taking out a wallet to pay for our food. As he was about to spend money, suddenly Zean's hand grabbed mine.

" I'm the one who's buying.!" He said without taking my hand.

I nodded and was still standing on the spot trying to calm my racing heartbeat very quickly. After I finished paying for Brother Zean managed to make me flutter again, how not lightly he grabbed my hand and pulled it slowly while walking towards the bike and strangely I just resigned to receive treatment Zean kak instead of clipping his hand I was impressed to enjoy the touch of a foot Zean, ah how does this hand feel so warm. Arriving on the bike Zean took my hand off, then suddenly he took off the navy blue hoodie he was wearing and handed it to me.

" Wear it, it looks like you need it, your hands are as cold as the undead.!" His hand was still hanging while holding his hoodie which I had not yet received.

" How about big brother, big brother will also be cold later?" Refuse me to feel bad.

" I'm still wearing this." Pointing to the long shirt he was wearing.

" but....

Not yet able to continue my words Brother Zean has put his hoodie on my head, I took a step back and took over the job sister Zean then put on the hoodiie to cover my upper body, it more precisely closes up my knee. Maybe because of our height differences that are quite a lot so that the hoodie that looks right on the body of Brother Zean, it even looks like a negligee when I wear it. You must be wondering how tall Brother Zean, my current height is 160cm and only reached the shoulder of Zean so it may be the height of Zean legs sekitan 185 cm, that's why I look up every time I talk to him.

"Hahahahah, you're like a ghost of a rice field." laughs and then silences his own mouth.

I just fell silent to hear the ridicule of Brother Zean, whatever is important now is that I get home without having to be cold. After being content to laugh at me Brother Zean rode his bike then followed by me and we went back on our way. A few minutes later we got in front of my house, I got off my bike, said thank you and stepped away from Zean.

" Pril..

Seriate..
