Love In Silence

Balqis Fainted

I decided to hang out at my mom's cafe, which is closest to the office.

"Mom is home!"

"I don't want to see my mom. I just want to hang out, make me a warm lemon tea, a level 10 spicy ramen with potato chips!"

"Ready man," said a cafe waiter named Sasa.

Any problem I usually confide in with Clara, but now Clara's far away. If chatting via mobile phone is not as satisfied if met directly. Since college my good friend was just Clara, with the others hanging out together but not so close. Maybe because Clara's house is close and we're cousins, that's why we're always together everywhere like twins.

"Ekhm just daydream."

"Not just waiting for an order. How come you're here?"

"I've been following you since I got out of the parking lot. I thought there was some business at the cafe, not to mention you're sitting here ."

"Mission!" Say Sasa while putting down my order.

"Bak I'm a latte coffee one huh!"

"Yes, I'm waiting for ya."

"That's a really red message that's really bad ?"

"I need a diet that makes me sweat."

"If you want to sweat sports instead of eating spicy it is the same as torturing your digestion." Without hearing Raka's words I immediately ate my food, then half the portion suddenly Raka took my food.

"If you want to order there! Don't eat my order, "my upset. I tried to take my order but was prevented by Raka.

"Pity your stomach, you want to know how I vent my emotions." I didn't answer Raka's words, just stared intently at her.

"Come with me now!"

"Where ?"

"Well, where's your motor key?" I lazily handed him my motor key. Raka walked over to the cashier and gave me the keys to the cashier.

"Let's just ride my bike."

"Cie cie mbak Kia,"ledek several officers who were again standing in the palace. I just glared at him, not afraid they were laughing made me even more upset.

"Handle let's not fall!"

"Hm."Because I don't hold on to Raka's waist. Raka increased the speed of his bike to make me forced to hold on to his waist.

"Don't be so tight !" Instead of hearing my words Raka even increased the speed of the motor, making my body so attached to it and hold on tighter. Approaching the magrib Raka stopped his motor near the musholla.

"In a moment we wait for the Adzan, all the magrib prayers here !"

"Where are you going?"

"You know too." Raka said while busy with her phone.

"Let my parents find me."

"Relax me again to send a message to papa." Said Raka while showing her phone.

"Well! Papa since when did you call my papa papa?"

"Since today, by direct papa's orders."

"Nyebelin."

"Haha ga papa training will fit so

My real mother tongue is used to it."

After sounding adzan magrib we pray magrib congregate with the surrounding residents.

"Harap to eat in front of it." Said Raka while pointing at the Betawi restaurant, which was right in front of the musholla.

"Where are we going?"

" You can't guess yet ?" Raka asked while watching around.

"Well the sunset is good too" I said as I looked at Raka's gaze.

"Well, let's eat !"

We ate while enjoying the atmosphere of the beach which was getting dark.

"Why are you now like resisting every time I get close to you?"

"Don't refuse but I'm just fortifying myself, let's not fall."

"When did I make you fall ?"

"Don't you ever feel like you've given me hope ?"

Raka was silent for a moment before her ahkir shook his head.

"Since our meeting in college, a few times your words have impressed like trying to get close to me!"

"Not impressed to approach you, I did try to get close to you. But you always avoid."

"I'm not avoiding, but guarding my heart. I saw a few times the mas close and a few times the road with Leora. Even Leora was willing to celebrate her birthday at the mama's cafe, just to prove your closeness."

"My arrival was in the trap, he said he was just celebrating his birthday by eating at the cafe ."

"I've also seen Leora mas a friendly bonceng !"

"You will know how my bike is, yes for sure if I bonceng using my motorbike!"

"Basar bawdy men, deliberately buy a rich motorbike so that the ones in the bonceng stick to the front, huh?"

"Why do you think so !" Raka said while laughing crazily, until she shed her tears.

"Why laugh to that extent ?"

"You see that my bike is designed from where it has a narrow seat. So if in ascending 2 people must stick. And I didn't buy it because of my dirty, perverted brain. I used to be with Ardan and Daru, racing to get that sport bike with our own sweat."

"As far as you are, whatever the reason is only you know. Not only with Leora, you once invited me to attend your graduation, remember ?"

Raka immediately admired, "I was proud and happy at the time, but it turned out that I only came to introduce your fiancee."

"At that time I invited you, I wanted to introduce you to my mom. I did not know that Nadila came and immediately claimed to be my fiancee. Though I've already rejected Grandma's plan to match us."

"So far as I am concerned, what will I easily believe in the words of mas?"

It sounded like Raka's rough breathing, "I know it's hard for you to give your heart to me, but let me show you my seriousness."

I didn't know what to answer, so I decided not to give any answer.

"The first time I knew you when I was in college and you were still in Junior High School. At that time I only considered you a child who had an attraction. After the meeting in college I started to feel a strange feeling when I met you. That's why I'm trying to get close to you, but getting closer to you is hard for you to get far away from. At that moment I realized I was already interested in you."

I looked towards Raka who lowered her head. Until we heard the Adhan, we went back to the mosque, and congregated there.

"Would you go home or to the beach ?"

"It's late, don't be gossip news again!"

"I have no regrets because from the news we became engaged. Though I want to take you to the beach, you can scream as much or run as much as possible on the beach !"

"Go home, don't talk about it first." My words divert the conversation, if you continue here can-can chat we so everywhere. We went home without any more conversation, until we got home.

Papa, mama and Arvin welcomed my arrival with strange gazes.

"Assalamualaik."

"Getishalam."

"What the hell are you guys looking at us with such a weird look ?"

"Come in and sit down!" Raka and I obeyed Papa's orders.

"See this,!"arvin said while showing his phone.

📷 Saw a picture of me and Raka sitting in a cafe.

📷 Photos of me riding Raka motor, this time my picture is clearly visible.

Oh God, what are these rumors?
