Love is Different

Chapters 14. Hitchhiked

This morning I was busy carrying my bag and then I finished a glass of warm milk that has been made by Mama. This time I did not bring provisions because Mama did not cook, the princess did not cook either. 

"Maaa... I'm late for this." I was busy tidying up the bag. 

"Well Mama can't anterin you this. Mama's going to Bekasi Nak..." Answer Mama.

"Yeahh how doong..." I started to panic and fidget and kept looking at the watch.

"Eh that's Aunt Ratna and Om Budi will go to Rawamangun, you just take them to the front." Mama gave me an idea as if - willfully so that I can come with them. 

"Well, if I'm downstairs until the front why do I need them. Mom went through that too."

"You, Mama's ahead for a while." 

Mama went straight ahead and called Aunt Ratna. 

"Mom.. Riri can not nebeng yaa ahead of the highway kalimalang? This I can not anterin because it is still a little afternoon and in the direction of Bekasi. Not in the direction of the campus he exited..." Obviously Mama.

I eavesdroped from near the fence. 

"Oh, I can, for a minute... My husband still has breakfast." Aunty Ratna answered kindly. 

"Oh yes, this is Riri rather hurried because of Ma'am.." Answer my mother again.

Mama then called me out loud, "Riii... He said you were late. Ayooo.." Then my mother came up to me and pulled my hand.

"R.. Wait a minute, Om is still ready - ready first. Riri's in college at what time?" Ask Aunt Ratna. 

"Hmmmm at 9 o'clock Aunt, cu.ma must be on campus at half 9." My answer is a little bit flattened - brick.

Then suddenly Adi came out of the house in a hurry and he was very neat to go to work, then he got into the car and started the car while heating the car. 

"R.. Om same Auntie turned out to want to go to the big hut, so Riri with Adi ya..." 

I was silent and my heart felt like it was going to fall.

"Goddess..." Ledek Mom.

"Why? Adi's son is good.. He doesn't say much either..." Aunty Ratna said it was like promoting her own son.

"Hehehe yaa aunty..." My answer is just a little chuckle.

"Yuk Ri's..." Take Adi and she calls my name.

"I am Ka..." I answered stammeredly and confused. "Ma, go, yeah..." Salim Mama's hand.

"Yeah heart - heart yaaa Nakkk.." Mama replied with a sly smile because she seemed happy her son would chat with Adi. 

"Auntie.. Go on.." I also salim with Aunt Ratna. 

"Yeah Ri..." Answered Aunt Ratna smiling sumringah. 

"Of... Departing yeah.." I also approached Om Budi and salim with him.

Adi pulled his car out of his garage. Then I got in the Honda Jazz car and sat down with my heart. 

From outside Om Budi, Aunt Ratna and Mama waved with happy faces. I feel like this is an arranged marriage from my parents, huh? Why do they seem to conspire so that I can join Adi's nebeng to the front? 

In the car I was very uncomfortable because I was too sidelined and just turned to the left window, without looking to the right. 

"What time is it coming in?" Suddenly Adi asked to talk.

I looked at him, "Oh, huh Ka? Hmmm 9 Hours to.." My answer is a bit flattened - brick. 

"It's not too late to leave at this hour?" He looked at me and saw the watch in his hand. 

I remember once, the perfume that time. Strong but soft, although I do not know the brand of perfume what is clear this is not the perfume of most men. 

"Hmmm easy - hopefully not yes Ka... Even if it's 5 minutes late at the most." I answered with a small smile.

"Easy - I hope... Oh yeah, Riri's in medicine, huh?"

"Yes Ka..." 

I grumbled in my heart, hoping to arrive soon. Because I feel like he talks a lot. Aunty Ratna says she doesn't talk much. Huh not in accordance with reality.

"Ohhhh keep you in a school whose religion is a minority huh.. That's how Ri is?"

"Yes no way - how the hell Ka, we respect each other really. The campus is also general Ka... So the name is it, it's us Bhineka Tunggal Ika kok Ka.."

"Oh that's it.. Thank God that you respect each other for each other's religion.."

"Hehehe is Ka..." 

He just kept rambling and I felt like this trip was really long. I wanted to get out of his car. 

"What semester is Riri?"

"I'm going to end the semester Ka..."

"Oh that's it.. Yaa's spirit..."

"Yes, thank you Ka... Oh yeah, I'm down in front of that..."

Finally the one in later - later, I got out of his car.

"Oh yes okay... "

"Thank you Ka..." I opened the car door and immediately got off.

"Be careful Ri..." He also waved his hand.

"Yes, hearts are also..." I replied with a smile without waving my hand and immediately closed the car door. 

The car drove away leaving me. I immediately boarded the public transport while looking at the clock in my hand hoping not to be late for class.
