Love is Different

Chapter 29. My Feelings

It has been almost half a year that I have been close and in communication with Adi, this time I cannot lie to my feelings. I'm feeling weird. But I have doubts about Adi's gender. I feel attracted to him but I still ask in my heart. 

"Where is Ri's college?" While on the way I hitchhiked with Adi.

"Alhamdulillah be more dizzy Ka..." Answer's kidding.

"Dizziness huh? He's getting into medicine, huhh..." Ledek Ka Adi's. 

"Hahahaha well emang mind - the mind of a small actually Ka... Actually I used to be - my love wanted to be a veterinarian. But because I like to follow the father check the patient it was even interested in becoming a human doctor. Because I can't bear to see sick animals can cry. If sick people still dare I do that."

"So that's what humans do?" 

"Hahaha, that's not Ka.... If animals do not understand where the pain is. If a man can still tell you he's sick."

"You crazy guy?"

"Yeah if it's too good to know dong Ka he's mentally ill. How about hahahaa..." 

Adi laughed, "But yes Ri, Ka Adi was told to be the doctor. But Ka Adi does not want because the school is old, difficult, not to mention many books and slingshot."

"Oh yeah? But Ka Adi chose to be an engineer?"

"It was also actually Papa Ka Adi who wanted Ri. Ka Adi wants to be an artist, in entertainment. Ka Ani used to be a model. But neither can Papa..." 

"Oh that... Even if you have finished school, you can be an artist Ka.."

"Can't Ri, if Papa tau can be found in Ka Adi." 

"Seriously Ka?" Seriously many.

"Ih Riri origin knows that Papa was firm and fierce. We, his children, do not dare to oppose Ri. In the past, Ka Adi studied college, Papa who nemenin Ka Adi because Ka Adi did not want to take medicine. Mama does not know at all, arrived Ka Adi already accepted in the private department of Civil Engineering. It was Papa who asked to take the exam and who made the list. Know it Alhamdulillah windfall even acceptable... Yaudah continued to finally Mama knew that Ka Adi did not take the medical department that Mama wanted, because Ka Ani took psychology. Though Mama would be wrong or her son there is a doctor to do so in the medical department, Mama is a midwife." 

"Oh that... But aren't you active anymore as a midwife?"

"First in Padang mah Mama active Ri, continue Mama will also teach in Padang." 

"Oh that. He is old too, Ka..." 

"Yes... Well, because Ka Adi did not obey the will of Mama and Papa to become a doctor, finally Ka Adi promised Mama can take S2 at a state university and Alhamdulillahnya received. So Mama was not too disappointed that her son was not a doctor. Ka Ani tuh also took S2 yesterday, just a little more. But because of marriage rush yaudah deh so not in continued S2nya."

"It's a pity because it's already married so no more S2nya.." 

"Yeah Ri.. Riri will take what specialist?" 

"Duh not yet kayang again want to take a specialist what Ka...The initial time to enter the doctor will take a child or psychiatric specialist Ka.. Yes, yes, yes, yes Ka..." 

"Amiii.. Ka Adi doain's. What semester is Ri?" 

"Still semester 4 Ka..." 

"Still 4 more semesters dong to be a young doctor?"

"3 semesters to go... In my college only 7 semesters in undergraduate medicine. Keep up the new thesis on the young doctor's exam."

"Yaampun very much yaa... All parts must be lewatin' that?"

"Yeah dong Ka.... Compulsory." 

"The spirit of Ri..." 

He was so mature when he looked at me or discussed with me, I felt like I had a big brother who always supported me and listened to my class complaints. I feel comfortable around him. Even though he likes to gossip like a woman.

"R..." Call Tami when I'm playing games. 

"Hmm?" I asked while playing the game.

"Where are you with Ka Adi?" Tami asked with a small laugh.

"How - how.. I consider him a friend of Tam.." My answer is still playing games. 

"Lo's not on the road yet with him?" 

"It was the same time as his family."

"But the same with his family again...." 

"Hahaha at that time because I went to his brother's house, continue to be invited to walk with them." Then I stopped playing games. 

"Where is your relationship with him?"

"That's nowhere - where's Tam... Just a friend with a neighbor.."

"Times??"

"Yes, can't you believe me anyway??"

"Yes yes, I believe.... But your suspicions are not?"

"What?"

"That he turned.."

"Oh... Still anyway. But if I really like and love him one day I will accept it."

"Huh? Seriously lo Ri?"

"Hm.... Am I a doctor, I can't do therapy anyway?"

"Ih crazy lo Ri..." Tami shook her head then fell silent. 

I know I might be stupid when I say things like that, maybe because of how comfortable I feel with him...
