Love is Different

Chapter 36. Ajah Road

I went into the house and changed my nightgown, and prepared to go into the room.

"Ri, wash your feet, wash your face with a toothbrush. Don't go to sleep at all.." Mom said when I just entered the house.

"Yeah Ma.. It's gonna wash your face, wash your feet with a toothbrush. Keep changing clothes first ah.. Replace the delicious negligee.." I answered with a small smile.

"Jude..." Said Mom washing the dishes. 

I immediately cleaned up and opened my phone and I saw Adi online. I think I should send him a message. I can't stand the feeling anymore. 

"Yes.." I sent a very short message.

"Why Ri?" Reply Adi quickly. 

"Tomorrow for the holidays?" I asked stale bases.

"Yes dong, tomorrow's the red date. Why Ri?" 

"Oh yeah, I think that's how big brother came in."

"No. Why Ri?" 

"Ka.. I'd like to talk to you, can I?"

"We usually keep talking."

"Yeah I mean someone wants me to talk about it with Brother. I want to talk maturely and from heart to heart." 

"Well, when can you?"

"Tomorrow can?" 

"Tomorrow Ka Adi will go, have promised Ka Adi. Can the day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow Riri came in, right?"

"Keep Ka, jaudah later I will nebeng yaa Ka. Talk on the way."

"OK. Actually Ka Adi already knew what Riri wanted to say.. But gapapa later we just chat directly from heart to heart."

"Yeah Ka.."

After that, Adi no longer replied to my message. Honestly, Adi is a very mature figure when invited to discussions. It feels very calm when I want to express my feelings even though I am nervous. And hopefully it's not just my feeling if Adi likes me too. I hope he likes me too.

January 2, 2015, as promised. I am in love with Adi, and today I will speak from heart to heart. 

A few minutes, I just kept quiet until Adi started talking.

"What did you say Ri?" Ask Adi in a slow tone.

"Hm.. Yes Ka...Gini okee....How long have we known?" I asked with a vibrating tone. 

"Last year, didn't Ka Adi move?"

"Sir... Is it fitting to move we immediately know Deket?" 

"No?"

"It's like it's only the beginning of the year that we know the deck Ka.."

"Yes yeah?" 

"Hmmm.."

"Oh yes it runs out of the new year Yaa Ka Adi kasih by - by. From there we begin to know and deket..."

"Hmm yeah...." 

"Okee has been a year - I guess Ri.."

"Yes about that, this month is even a year."

"Okees... I'm a cepet yaa Ka.. I will hunt until that."

"Oh that? Doesn't my sister go to rawamangun first take stock?"

"No. Mama cooked for Ka Adi. So there's no need to go to Rawamangun today."

"OK on... This is the first time Ka Adi has brought me to college.."

"That's why yes..."

"OKAY.."

"Okee..."

'"OK, so gini.. As long as I knew Ka Adi, I was happy because Ka Adi was being talked to.. Hm gini.. Actually at the beginning I did not know Ka Adi, mama is just as eyey as it was told there is a new neighbor. Well I was so funny at first because I already had a boyfriend at that time, but not long ago broke up. Because I can't stand him.. Because it doesn't fit that. Actually from the beginning of the courtship I also accept him because of pity yes not because my heart likes him Ka.."

"That's so bad.. How can? Why is he?"

"Yes, I am evil Ka... So I had to go out with him. He was so good with me. I don't like him because he smokes Ka.. I don't like real smokers."

"Oh that.. Keep going?"

"It's me from the beginning, yes I was clear new to the main purpose why I had to talk to Ka Adi."

"Yes, I understand Ri.."

"Okee I'll continue..Keep me breaking up with him, I find out brother because mom is just as eyey. Even I was always encouraged - push for food to the house Ka Adi if Ka Adi again at home. I was forced to slump like Ka...." 

"Hahaha same mama's cute.." 

"Yes that's it... Well continue yes I find out to all the sosmed and look for the name of the sister in google. I got some info, but I was ordinary and was shocked when my sister turned out to be 30. I think my sister is 25 years old.. I'm a bit doubtful actually want to deket same brother, because I never deket same guy whose age is much different." 

"Hmm stay young, me.."

"Hmmm geer ah... Not continue on?"

"Slowly..." 

"okay... So yahh keep Ka Adi so often know me to the family, keep arriving - suddenly tell the Queen call me Aunty. That's honestly, I'm really surprised... But at first I want to be ordinary but long - long time I became like different aja so it feels. Yaah muchlah Ka Adi is also the same I have started intense communication... So that means Ka Adi's attitude towards me is like that what is it? The problem is I have a sense of the end, but I don't want how it is because I've been a few times in love and I always want to be serious and there's a purpose."

"okay... Done yet?" Ask Adi seriously.

"Hmm that." Answer's short.

"Gini yes.. So the beginning of Mama... Mama is also like Mama Riri and Eyang. Kayak told Ka Adi to make an acquaintance with Riri... Said Riri was good, kept his papa's doctor. Who knows, you could.. That's what Mama said... Then... Finally Ka Adi try to get closer to Riri with this love and it turns out the first time we know tuhkan Riri nebeng Ka Adi. Ka Adi's opportunity to get to know RIri deeper and further. Until already several times Riri together with Ka Adi nah the Mama and Papa tuh nanya the same Ka Adi.. How come Riri so often nebeng You Di? Ask Papa tuh... And Papa nyaut again, you why can he be familiar? Well, Ka Adi finally in the same trial Mama and Papa. The Mama was how Riri was with Ka Adi. Ya Ka Adi be honest with them if Ka Adi likes Riri, comfortable and we are talking to each other. Yaaa have continued the Mama directly shoot Ka Adi, yes if you fit you should be clear.. Be serious or play.. Don't play with people's children, let alone our neighbors. Gituk an Mama said..Yaudah Ka Adi says Adi is serious Ma... This is now an approach, continue if for serious business or not yaa Ka Adi already do not want to play - play already so old. Finally yaudah Mama told Ka Adi to know Riri to some of Ka Adi's brothers in Jakarta. So that the family also assess Riri... Yes, so Ka Adi is not like a child who shoots - the shot is Ri. Riri can value himself from the attitude of Ka Adi and Ka Adi family with Riri. If Ka Adi is okay, then the family is following it." Adi Clear.

"Hmmm okay..." I nodded and smiled a little.

"Yaa according to Ka Adi Riri this is his son thinking really, later if we say there is dating status there continues to be drama - drama Riri thoughtirin, the lecture so not focused. Yes Ka Adi also diingetin Mama so as not to interfere with Riri's lecture, because Riri's lecture is difficult. That way. Well, now we go through it, you know you have me, I have you." 

"Hmm so?"

"Yes, we're doing it, but seriously." 

"okay.. Our salaman.." 

Adi also shook hands with me and fit once have arrived at the campus. 

"Pas kalo if nganterin to campus gini chat. Right up to the front..." Adi said with a smile and busy reaching into his bag.

"Yes yes haahha... Yow."

"This is for Riri.. A gift from Ka Adi... Crack. Snacks." 

"Hahaha thank you.. Yaudah I'm down yaa Ka.." I smiled and opened the car door.

"Okee.. Be careful, be careful.." Adi said, waving his hand.

"Dahh. heart - heart yes Ka...." I got out of the car and waved my hand. 

After I got down, I smiled. So I finally know how he feels and he knows how I feel. But I don't remember the day and date because I think it's my relationship and she's not dating but a wayin' dead...
