The first week of his mind was still filled with Viko. From starting to miss him, remembering his sweet and bad treatment, to recalling the last incident they both faced.
The second week Tasya busied himself with his duties and occasionally he gathered with his friends to eliminate burnout.
The third week he began to be able to reply to some messages that came to him. Seeing Tasya singles make one by one men began to approach through whatsapp Tasya that can be obtained easily from the group. But Tasya is just him, because he's not interested.
The fourth week he can finally start living his days as usual. It was a little bit to make him forget about Viko. Although not completely forgotten but he began to enjoy his solitude. After all it seemed that Viko had completely disappeared from her reach. I don't know where he is now.
Until now exactly 8 months after the incident passed. Tasya stared at the photos of those who still did not want Tasya to get rid of the truth.
Tasya breathed. "Should it be, until when do you want to stick here?"
Slowly Tasya began to release one by one the polaroids that had been the place to channel longing. Tasya has very rarely cried, but if he misses he feels it very often.
Tasya's open door allowed Al to see what the girl was doing. Al took his foot to get to Tasya.
"Well? Didn't you ever say that this is the only place that makes your kangen feel less like him?" Ask Al.
Tasya chuckled and continued to do his activities. "It's true, but I can't stick around here. His life goes on and my life has to go on. Although I haven't been able to escape him, but at least I'm up to one more stage, right?"
Al rubbed the top of Tasya's head gently. "Well, I'm an adult now, baby."
Tasya chuckled, "I'm a grown-up, so I have to take a stand." After finishing, Tasya put the photos into a small box, then let it blend with other memories in one large container.
Al helps Tasya push the big box under her mattress. Tasya smiled, if there all the memories will slowly be forgotten by him, just like the items that Tasya often forget when he had stored them in the warehouse.
"You want to go for a walk?" Al asked as he extended his hand.
Tasya looked towards Al. "Where are you going?"
"Anywhere's. We will think on the road" Al replied with a smile.
Tasya picked up his sling bag and received Al's hand. Looks like his feelings will be much better if he agrees to Al's invitation after doing the heavy thing. The two of them went downstairs and were already given a look by Radit.
"Where you've been tandem with everything, surely you want to invite the cave play far away," accused Radit.
"In the meantime, it will also be reversed" replied Al casually.
"Other brother, the play person is the same Al doang kok. Suntuk a week ago the same practice makes the laprak continue," said Tasya while hugging his brother spoiled.
"Al sure you want to take Tasya? Look at his behavior already rich baby monkey gini. I'd like 21 years, Shaa," Radit recalled.
"Then in fact, he was also the same cave. Rich koala boy sticking. Sometimes the hands of the cave until it is dark," said Al Meledek.
"Let me be the prodigal son later lo ketar-ketir," replied Tasya meledek.
Let alone Tasya disappear, Tasya just cry Al has been scratched. That girl could indeed make him checkmate the most.
"So I don't want to be big if I'm with you. Later if the big chepet Brother marriage is also spit, later I will leave me again."
Radit swallowed his saliva roughly. There was something he wanted to talk to Tasya. But after hearing that he paused his intentions.
Tasya laughed and kissed Radit's cheek. "Judah I want to play, dadahh." Tasya left Al first, he looks enthusiastic today.
Radit patted Al on the shoulder and was rewarded with a thumbs-up and a nod that he would definitely take good care of Tasya. Radit is now tighter guarding Tasya. Besides not wanting Tasya to get hurt, he also did not want Tasya why-why.
...~ • ~...
Tasya looked around him, after almost 1 hour of travel he just thought why did Al take him to a place like this? The place is like a mystical place, he suspects that Al will take him on a horror tour.
"Where are we going?" Tasya Tasya did not understand.
"If Bandung has a lot of tea gardens, if Surabaya has a protected forest," replied Al while holding Tasya's hand and walking to buy a ticket.
"Where's the woods? This is a pendopo, right? Do you want to take me on a religious tour or a horror tour?" Tasya even walked more and more towards Al.
Al laughed at Tasya's reaction. This is how it goes in Bandung. He will only be spoiled by natural attractions that are not far from the beautiful plantation. Rarely found lakes, dams, forests. There is but far away.
"Some, come along" Al replied casually.
"Al don't mess around. You take me to the woods, ngaco. Come home yukk?" Tasya Pinta.
Al shook his head slowly, of course he would not follow Tasya's will. He had to show the place because he knew that Tasya would like it. Tasya just sighed, indeed this Al sometimes likes weird. But he was already here now, so inevitably had to follow wherever Al went.
After buying a ticket Al took Tasya to a dock, there was already seen a boat to cross to where they were headed.
Al put the buoys on Tasya and made sure everything was safe. Tasya just obey, because ask to go home was certainly Al will not follow his will. Al first got off to the boat. After that he reached out to Tasya so that he would not fall.
"Ayokk, it's safe" Al assured.
Tasya received a helping hand and slowly got down to the boat. The rocking boat made his heart beat fast. But Al embraced his waist and continued to hold onto Tasya until they could both sit down.
"Al this is actually we want to go to the forest what is the Amazon water tourism. Suddenly there are crocodiles we can eat. Want to die young?" Ask Tasya.
"From here we will go to the place where the cave means. Don't worry, you go the same cave won't do anything. Not going to the cave kidnap too, the loss of eating a lot," ledek Al.
Tasya hit Al's arm and instead made the man laugh. " Yakali aja lo sell me to widows who are in the villages because I am beautiful."
"Nobody wants to, fierce guy. It's just diem, megem."
The boat drove, Tasya is now cool with his cellphone camera and invites Al to selfie. Again, who can be invited to spend time other than his friends is Al. Al has always been everywhere.
"Al we're starting KKN next semester. He also said that it is not a random system. I'm the same as you?" Tasya suddenly said.
"Why suddenly talk about KKN?" Al asked looking at the girl.
"Yes gapapa, even though I'm not whiny but it turns out I'm still a coward. There is no requirement that all faculties exist. Want any FK child can be original 12. Don't know why if I'm not afraid, how do I say it?"
"Where, try to explain" said Al trying to focus on looking at Tasya.
"I mean I will feel good if facing whatever origin there are lo. From us little until now, lo it's rich to make me always need lo. Rich for example I was sad, scared, when I was heartbroken too. So yes I am afraid that KKN is the same person I do not know," said Tasya honestly.
Al smiles for some reason like he got a love confession from Tasya. Tasya meant that it was not like that. "Lu can not depend on the same cave, but if you need a cave, it will always be a cave to try."
