Love in the Heart

Chapter 38 He is Akel, not Harry

Suddenly I woke up again, maybe it was morning, but the bus did not move. Everyone's still asleep. I stood up and removed the headset that was still attached even though there was no more singing that was heard because the hape battery had been exhausted and completely dead.

I put the tape in my bag, and I intend to return it to the owner. The driver was not in place. I opened the door of the bus, I peeked out and the stuffy aroma immediately pierced my nose.

I kept coming out and felt the hot air by my side. This where is it? The lighting is just a few floodlights. The driver leaned on the side of the bus.

“Pak... kok stop?”

“Oh. We are crossing to Jawa” Island

“So now we are in the middle of the sea huh Sir?” it doesn't feel like “when did you get Sir?”

“Maybe another hour, because the time to cross does not take long”

“Pak, can I go up to see the outside view? The air here is not fresh”

“Ya, of course you can. But if the ship has docked, directly join the others ya!”

“OK deh sir. Thanks sir” I ran up the bus.

Uuuppsss. And it feels so different from the air on the bus to the outside of the bus. Fortunately, this bus is facilitated with AC, so the air remains fresh unlike outside. If there's no AC, maybe we've all suffocated since.

Mili looks so good and makes me unable to wake her up. I think I should dare to go upstairs alone. I climbed up the stairs after the stairs until I reached the open part of the ship.

And the smell of the fresh ocean filled my chest cavity after it was suffocated by the stuffy scent of being on the hull of the ship. I breathe this fresh air deeply, I do a little stretching, loosening the body that feels sore along the way. The sky was still dark, but a red light that might have been east.

On this deck, there are some people who look at the ocean, even though the air feels so cold, for the sake of seeing the beautiful scenery they are willing to get cold. I forgot to bring my jacket and was quite shaken by the cold. A man looks at the ocean. His eyes were either seeing what, which was obvious he was very calm.

“Hey... no sleep yes?” my broom.

“Udah.. but woke up when our bus went into the hull of the ship”.

“So you've been here?”

“You could say so. You alone?”

“So I woke up. Oh yeah. Your fire battery ran out. I put it in my bag, I'll give it back”

“Oh.. yes.... that's okay." suddenly he opened his jacket, and put it on me who was folding his hands because of the cold... again there was a subtle sigh in my heart because of this unusual treatment of his.

She smiled, "You've prayed yet?”

“Not yet." I said as I wrapped my whole body in his jacket.

“Sholat yuk..dawn time has entered nih”.

“Ayuk...” while heading to mushala on the ship, there are incandescent mountain fire Anak Krakatau. It was like watching a fireworks party.and so beautiful. after praying.Akel pulled back to the place, somehow I was hypnotized to follow him, without realizing my hand was already in his grasp.

“That's Java island!!” he said, realized immediately to take off my hand which was still in his grasp.

“You'd love to go there” my body feels hot. I patted my cheek so I realized, she's Akel, she's Akel.. I already have someone else in my heart, and I already have Hary in my heart.

“Enggaaa” and then I put my chin on both my hands that were propped up on the fence of the deck of the ship, while focusing the gaze in the direction that Akel pointed.

“Why do you want to go there?” ask her gently.

I focused and strengthened my heart, because I wanted to meet him, someone I had loved in my heart.

“You yourself how is your relationship with your girlfriend in your village??"

“Why do you always ask?”

Why are you like this to me? I replied in my heart, “Pengen knows all right, can't it?”

“Alright, I'll tell you. He is the man I love very much. I don't want to let go, no matter how he is.”

“Emang how long has it been?” she said love, why keep trying to tease me? huufftt. I patted my cheek again. Can't expect more from him, I'm determined.

“For these three years, my feelings have not changed in the least to him”

“Hemmm... long time also yes?” how is it getting the same as what I feel?

“Surely your boyfriend is happy when with you”

“Not know too?”

“Kok that? You always meet her, right?”

“Definitely meet.. It's just that he doesn't know how I feel.”.

“Oh... So what? I read your poetry often. That means it?”

“Emang why?”

We were here long enough, until the morning began to sit on the throne.

“Yuki... Where are you from? How come you didn't take me?” Mili appears with Anggi followed by other friends.

You slept so well, I couldn't bear to wake you up. That's why I'm going to go”

“With him?” Anggi pointed towards Akel and their views clashed.

“No, he was first. I was walking alone.”

“Then I don't have a problem.” Chirps Akel.

Their gazes were equally sharp, “Already. What is also unimportant whingibutin? Mending we see the sights! Lookie! There's dolphins!” then we saw the attractions of a very beautiful aquatic mammal.

The ship docked slowly, the ship's baggage door opened all of them, and slowly our Buses began to continue their journey back from the port of Merak, Banten.
