Trias sighed and hugged Iyun affectionately.The girl shriveled in the young man's arms.
"Don't be too jealous.I don't want to be accused of anything." he said.
the moment Trias finished saying, his phone vibrated. Iyun pushed the young man's body. Trias pulled out the phone and responded to the call feature.
"From Kenzie" said Trias asking Iyun to wait.
📲 "Yes, why?" ask Trias.
📲 "I want to take you to Pasar Jajan. We eat with Chiyome" said Kenzie. Trias shook his own head.
📲 "Can't be. it's been 2 weeks I haven't done Iyun. now I'm in her house. next time huh?" reject Triassic.
📲 "Have it then" said Kenzie.
Trias disconnects the mobile call. Iyun approached.
"Kenzie told you to do it." asked Iyun glaring at Trias.
Trias laughs. "Don't glare so. ugly" said the young man. Iyun snorted while continuing to glare.
"I don't want my future wife to be tendelenga." said Trias with a smile. tendelenga is a name in the language of gorontalo that is attributed to domestic animals slow lorises.
hearing the name of the animal made Iyun instantly dim his gaze.this time narrowed.cynical but adorable.
"Kenzie called me to eat at Jajan Market, but I refused. You heard me say what I said?" trias replied as she brought her face closer to the face of the veiled girl.
"Tonight, I just want to be with you."
...*****...
Kenzie put his phone to the edge of the table.In front of him sat Chiyome, wearing a beige T-shirt and faded blue jeans.The girl's hair was allowed to unravel.A small bag is located next to Kenzie's cell phone.
Kenzie called Chiyome and asked for her willingness to be invited for a walk. The girl immediately agreed because she really had to know her area of operation.how could she move if she did not know this city?
"So, Trias's not coming with us?" ask Chiyome.
"She's been busy calming her boyfriend down for 2 weeks and she hasn't paid face to Iyun" Kenzie replied with a smile. "It's okay if we're alone."
Chiyome laughed softly. "What's important is you."
this time, the girl's words disturbed Kenzie's mind.he looked at the girl with a meaningful look. Chiyome nodded and immediately continued, "I mean, the three of us are right, if there is no one, you are accompanying me."
I'm sure that's not what you said just now.You covered up that reality with diplomatic words.
Kenzie nodded with a smile, before long the waiter came. Kenzie looked at Chiyome.
"What do you want to order?" ask Kenzie.
"You're the one who ordered it." Chiyome replied.
"Where could that be? not necessarily what I like, you will like it too. don't make me like something just for fear of making me offended.honestly, so I'm happy." pinta Kenzie.
"There's nothing I like about this menu" Chiyome said quietly and occasionally to the waiter who looked at the two in turn.
Kenzie gestured for the servant to step away for a moment, then the young man looked at Chiyome.
"What do you want to eat? just tell me wherever I'm going to find food, just don't ask me to go to Japan" said Kenzie, making Chiyome giggle.
the girl thought for a moment.His eyes blinked and then smiled.When she looked at Kenzie, the girl's face met red and immediately turned her face in the other direction."
"Come... Just tell me. Indonesian food?" ask Kenzie.
Chiyome nodded. Kenzie nodded anyway. "I guess another food just mention it."
"I'm ashamed to say it. You'll laugh at me" Chiyome said blushingly.
"I promise I won't do it" said Kenzie as he poured water into a glass and was about to drink it. Chiyome long weighed until she finally decided to be honest.
"I want to eat. pilitode." said Chiyome slowly.
the sentence made Kenzie instantly choke. the water he drank immediately gushed out through his two nostrils, then the young man coughed. Chiyome threw away her face hiding her laughter then crossed the table then sat down by Kenzie's side and swept her back. Kenzie managed to catch his breath from the choking earlier.She looked at Chiyome with a look of disbelief.
"You sure?" asked Kenzie while coughing again and then looked at Chiyome.
"I thought you'd laugh at me." The girl lowered her head.
"You see me laughing? I choked, Chiyome." - Denied Kenzie while wiping the wet table with the water.
"We won't find the dish here, because it's home cooking." replied Kenzie. Chiyome looked at him wryly, leaving Kenzie powerless to let the girl get her wish.
before long he got the idea.he grabbed a cell phone and then dialed his mother's number.before long heard a voice.
📞 "Hello, assalamualaikum, Kenzie. what's wrong son?" ask Mariana.
📞 "Mama is not home, I want to go there with my girl friend" said Kenzie.
📞 "You why bring a girl friend? it's night, son, father, it's gonna be nanyain." said Mariana anxiously.
📞 "Sudaah..mama just calm down. uh Ma, can cook vegetables pilitode no?" ask Kenzie.
📞 "Aduuuh... Mama can't, baby, but wait a minute...."
the sound of his mother stepping across the room and knocking on the door.
hm... Mama woke up Kak Aisyah....
there was the sound of people discussing for a moment, then his mother's voice was heard again.
📞 "Hello? helo? Ken... may, may. your sister know how to cook it. later Mama with your brother prepare all. when it's finished later we misscall you yes.."
📞 "Okey.. thanks Maa.." replied Kenzie while disconnecting mobile.
the young man looked at Chiyome. "Safe.your order is cooked." she said with a smile.
"Please ya.." said Chiyome immediately hugged Kenzie in a sitting position to make the young man's heart immediately chasing each other so nervous. Chiyome seemed conscious, then quickly took off her embrace.
"Sorry.." he said, looking down.
this girl really makes my heart want to be dislodged.aahhh...Will she feel it too?
Kenzie shook his head and then got up and took Chiyome's hand out to comfort the waiter, Kenzie took out a 20,000 rupiah note and put it on his desk, then they both left the place.
they stepped slowly along the large sidewalk that surrounds the Youth Midshipmen's field in the north there is a park with a large statue standing firmly there.it is a memorial statue for Nani Wartabone, who is a statue, national hero of Gorontalo who managed to liberate Gorontalo on January 23, 1942 with his army called the jungle troops.
across the park, stands a magnificent gubernermen service house. Across the eastern part of the park there is a traffic police station opposite the road to the military police headquarters. The headquarters building is still in the form of an original, traditional gorontalo stage house.
that night, many couples who walk just let go of fatigue due to full-time work during the day.
they arrived in concrete halls surrounding the park. Chiyome sat down then Kenzie sat a bit away.The situation became awkward as each was afraid to start a conversation.
Kenzie cleared his throat attracting Chiyome's attention and succeeding.the girl looked at his face.
"How are your parents?" ask Kenzie.
jakuih...why is that anyway..what is the relationship?...
Chiyome smiled. "They're fine." she answered briefly.
"You think it's in our class?" ask Kenzie again.
Chiyome nodded with a smile, then crossed her legs and leaned her back against the wall. Her hands supported the surface of the halls and she closed her eyes enjoying the night breeze that was blowing slowly.
it's beautiful. if only....
Kenzie scratched his head and shook his head and looked back at Chiyome who was still closing her eyes.
"Hello? Chiyo's? you're not sleepy, are you?" asked Kenzie while waving his hands to Chiyome's face.The girl opened her eyes and was surprised, reflexively pulled the face and then looked at Kenzie.
"Why?" ask Chiyome.
"No. I guess you're sleepy. don't sleep first. I'm afraid my brother masakin you want, so it's useless." replied Kenzie.
Chiyome laughed softly, "So you thought I was sleepy?" ask the girl. Kenzie nodded with a smile.
"I'm afraid I'm sleepy that you're my donkey" said Chiyome with origin but managed to make Kenzie's face hot as if struck by the stove fire.
the girl then raised her legs and sat down in a lotus style (crazy) and then supported her left hand to her knees while her palm propped her face which now focused on looking at Kenzie.
Kenzie himself was struck by the girl's gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that? " ask Kenzie with raised eyebrows.
"Do you really not have a boyfriend?" search for the girl while squinting her eyes.
Kenzie scratched again his head that did not itch and then looked at Chiyome again.The young man also raised his legs and sat cross-legged and faced his body towards Chiyome.
"It might sound weird and funny to you if a young man chooses singles" Kenzie said as he broke his gaze into the cornea of the girl making Chiyome feel that some of her energy was sucked away by the young man's gaze.
"I looked after myself so that I would find a soul mate who was as good as I was. I was alone with Trias already committed to it. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky." the young man pulled his body back, straighten up and develop his hands.
"And here I am" said Kenzie with a smile.
"But I think a lot of girls at school like you" Chiyome said.
"Where are you?" button Kenzie with a smile showing off his teeth.
"Their gaze I can tell their gaze to you" Chiyome replied. "But you close your heart, so they're suspicious, you're both LGBT" she said laughing, flashing her teeth.
"If what are your views on me?" challenge Kenzie.
Chiyome lowered her head for a moment, then looked at the statue of Nani Wartabone.
"It's amazing this statue" Chiyome said.
hm.. he switched the conversation...
Kenzie looked at the statue as well. "That's our national hero statue, Nani Wartabone." replied the young man.
"It looks like he's pointing in a direction" Chiyome said as she watched the direction the statue was pointing at.
"She pointed her index finger towards her hometown. Suwawa.." replied Kenzie again.
Chiyome then turned to look at Kenzie right when the young man turned to look at the girl.The two met his gaze and both immediately felt their faces heating up.
astaghfirullah... O God.. Is this really Your sign?...
Kenzie let out his breath slowly, while Chiyome was busy playing with her bag theme.
fuze... Kenzie.. please.don't look at me like that.... Tuhaaan.help me dooong....
suddenly the phone in Kenzie's pocket vibrated.The young man quickly pulled out the gadget and read the call on his touch screen.
"From Mama, it's like the food you want has been completed" said Kenzie immediately lowered his legs and stood up and then stretched out his hand.
Chiyome welcomed the young man's hand and then the two stepped together to leave the park to Kenzie's motorbike parked on the side of the sidewalk.
...*****...
Aisyah has decorated the dining table with a variety of typical gorontalo dishes. There are also some sweets that she made. however this is the first time. Kenzie does not usually bring girlfriends.usually friends who stop by the house are just Triassic, because they are friends since childhood, following the friendship of their father.
"We wait for them to arrive" Mariana said with a witty smile. "Try if Papa exists, it's more rame..."
Aisyah nodded with a witty smile. Mariana invited him to sit on a sofa in the family room while watching Tivi waiting for Kenzie's arrival with her female friend.
before long there was a roar of a very familiar motorcycle in Mariana's ear, the woman got up and sent Aisyah to the kitchen to prepare everything. the woman walked quickly and impatiently greeted the female guest who made her curious.
the door has been opened Kenzie. both of them enter the living room. Kenzie turned on the chirstal lamp in place of the large bulb flame.
"This is my home, don't hesitate" said Kenzie.
shortly afterwards Mariana appeared, "You've arrived." welcome the woman.
Kenzie kisses his mother's cheek and introduces Chiyome to his mother.
"This is Chiyome Mochizuki, a Japanese-Indonesian exchange student, Kenzie's friend" the young man described the girl's curriculum vitae.
"Beautiful ya.." praise Mariana as she approaches and holds Chiyome's shoulder. "Sorry, Auntie doesn't speak Japanese. But comfort yourself, son? think of it as your own home." greet Mariana with a smile.
"Thank You Aunt I am honored to meet you" Chiyome replied as she bowed half-right. Mariana rounded her eyes as well as her mouth and looked at Kenzie while holding her chest.Unexpectedly, the girl in front of her could speak Indonesian fluently.
Kenzie laughs. "Ma's surprise..."
"Then just go ahead." Mariana took hold of both Chiyome's shoulders and led her to the kitchen, accompanied by Kenzie.
in the kitchen was a busy Aisyah.so Aisyah turned around and her gaze met Chiyome, the girl was stunned.
DEG DEG...
that face.....
"What's Chiyo?" asked Kenzie who immediately taught the girl, while Mariana who guided him also surprised. Kenzie followed the girl's line of sight.
why was he looking at big brother with that kind of gaze? what the hell is it?
"Chiyo?" call Kenzie again.
Chiyo stuttered in shock. "Y-yes?" asked the girl realized from her surprise and quickly mastered herself.quickly the girl smiled to melt the atmosphere that was awkward earlier.
"I'm sorry it makes you uncomfortable" Chiyome said, bowing.
Mariana and Kenzie who were astonished again smiled, while Aisyah just silently looked at Chiyome.
why is that girl staring at me like that? it was as if he was looking at someone he had not seen for a long time..The gaze felt very familiar...Where do I see such a gaze?.... []
