Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 31: The Fight

Bram's car finally reached the camp. Only this time, it stopped at the entrance gate of the campground. You have to walk to get there.

"Sir Jack. Then pick us up around one o'clock at night, just get in the car. Oiya, has it been deployed tonight?" ask Bram.

"good. It's the Chairman" replied Jack.

"Okay, we're going inside first. Thank you,"

"Together the Chairman,"

Jack went straight to the car and left me and Bram. The road to the campground is lit only by a well-arranged torch on the side of the road. Not so bright aka dimly lit.

"Are you afraid to walk here?" ask Bram.

"Not really. Uh yes," I hesitated.

"We're on our way!" bram said, holding my palm.

"Don't hold onto Brother, ashamed to be seen later," I refused and tried to let go of Bram's hand.

"Okay Zanu, sorry yes," Bram replied instantly releasing his hand.

I see Bram's not angry. Especially disappointed. Maybe Bram felt guilty for not being allowed to touch my palm. Might as well.

Step by step me and Bram walked together. The mood was gripping in my opinion.

Ow hell! Why is the atmosphere so this way, I'm afraid!

Kurrrr kurr auk..! Kurrr!

I'm shocked! There was a terrifying sound from above the big tree. My reflexes are hugging Bram's waist.

"Fear Brother!!" I shouted while hugging even tighter.

"Huh.ha..ha..! He said he didn't want to be held. This is even stifling. It's not my fault ya..," Bram laughed out loud at my behavior.

"Of course, it's just the sound of an owl. It's safe here about so-so. Come on again, afraid it will be too late," said Bram comforted me.

"No! I'm afraid," I replied still hugging Bram.

"Yes, let me hold his hand inside, I'll take it off when I'm there, okay?"

I nodded his sign agreeing with Bram's opinion. Bram clasped my palm and we walked side by side again.

"You look funny. You know, sometimes your behavior like this makes me miss," said Bram Lirih while smiling to see me.

"Eitz! It is forbidden to fight at a time like this" I replied.

"This is really. You never miss me?" ask Bram.

The deg!! What kind of question is this? The kangen? When was the last time I felt bad about someone? Is the taste of kangen the same as the taste to the brother huh? But have I ever missed Bram?

Waduh, what is this supposed to answer? Pl-please...

"Cock just shut up? That means you never miss me, do you?" ask Bram again.

"Bu.not so, Brother, maybe my kangen has not been spread out, his brother was immediately present. I don't know how that kangen feels either?" I asked back.

"Zanu, someday, you'll feel what a kangen is. And I really miss it as much as I do. Believe me," said Bram between serious and joking.

I just shut up. If the kangen were present, would Bram exist? I don't know..

The bonfire was already lit and students were seen starting to come out of their tents. Bram let go of my hand.

"Zanu, you're not going anywhere. Always behind me,"

"Okay Chairman,"

Bram walked towards the senior tent. I followed. Seen several pairs of senior eyes that see me, let alone senior girls.

I try to be ignorant even though I'm actually uncomfortable. Bram looks calm, relaxed and happy. Bram gave instructions on what tasks the senior and the organizing committee would do. Likely tonight the event lasts until one o'clock.

"Okay, that's all instructions from me tonight. We need to focus and tighten student security. Make sure how many of our sisters are allowed into the river and its surveillance. Is everything complete?" ask Chairman.

"After the Chairman. For dinner this is in the process of delivery" replied one of the senior officers.

All was quiet and I read the do'a including me.

When it was over, Bram took me to the bonfire that was burning.

********

Near the campfire there are many dry woods neatly arranged, to be ready until midnight. Near the wood there are snacks that are still in the plastic bag. There is also glass water in the box. Lots of food for tonight.

"Well, we're sitting here huh Zanu. While waiting for dinner to come," said Bram who immediately sat on the dry grass.

"Chairman, can I not go to Prita's tent? I miss my friend.. Masa' met Chairman Mulu," asked me a manyun while sitting next to Bram.

"Lho, you don't like it near me? You want to get near Prita? Later if I am far away, you miss," Bram replied while glancing at me.

"That's not what it means. From the beginning of departing until now, I saw and near the Chairman continued. This is a camp for new students and I should be mingling with others. The chairman is also busy, I'm staying a lot" I replied carefully. Frightened Bram, even though he's been nice to me.

"Zanu. Sorry if you feel depressed or uncomfortable. But I'm doing this because of me.. Now the most important thing is that you're safe until this camp is over. After that it's up to you how. I'm willing to stay away if it makes you comfortable, okay," said Bram Lirih, looking sad.

Wow, I'm not feeling too good with Bram. He might have misunderstood.

"Chairman, may I ask you something?" I asked while looking at Bram.

"Yes, I can,"

"What is the relationship between Chairman and Sari? Are they just friends?" my many.

"Yes Zanu, I'm the same Sari is just friends. No more than that, only he ever said he liked me and I rejected him. You don't believe me Zanu?" ask Bram.

Suddenly I remembered the photo inside Bram's jacket. I took the two photos and gave them to Bram.

"It! I found this photo in the Chairman's backpack. Please explain it to me. He said there was no connection with Sari, but this is proof of you two photos. I feel lied to!" I started to get a little emotional.

Bram was shocked and immediately took the photo from my hand. He looked at the photo while shaking his head.

"Zanu, I've never kept this photo in my backpack. This is the photo when I accompanied his sister Sari to register for UMPTN. I happen to be there to take care of the UMPTN registration with others. They asked for a photo with me on the grounds for a memento. You remember when I borrowed a pen? It was her sister's form that I filled out," Bram replied also with a slight tinge of emotion.

"Whatever! Already know that Sari likes Sister, why would you want a photo with her?! Never mind, brother, don't cover it up like that, look after the children of people! I don't want to expect more from this relationship, because I'm afraid of being disappointed and losing again" my voice began to tremble.

There was a feeling of tightness in my heart, sadness, jealousy, anger being one. I started to like and feel comfortable near Bram. But I'm afraid I'm hoping for more.

"Zanu!! I love you Zanu! You don't know, do you? I took it to and fro, took care of this it was just to be able to protect you! I have no relationship with anyone! Besides it's just you! Clear Zanu?! replied Bram a little scream in front of me.

Bram took a deep breath as he was holding back his emotions.

"Zanu, until now I have not received a definite answer from you. I am patient and not pushy. To be close to you I'm happy, don't know the name of this feeling anymore? What love?" bram said starting to soften and bow.

I am silent with a thousand languages. Bram was silent too. The mood became quiet. There was only the sound of the campfire and the sounds of students approaching.

Suddenly there were two big bodies running over to Bram. Wearing a black suit with a golden pin on his shirt. I saw that pin was in the shape of an Ox symbol.

This is the same guy I saw last night at Bram's kick.

"Boss! The boss! Uh sorry, Chief! There is important news..," said one of them while glancing at me at a glance.

"We'll just talk there. And you 09 stay on guard here!" bram said firmly.

"Ready!" the other one, called Bram, calls 09.

"You were here first. Don't go anywhere, then let Prita come here with you for a while, okay?" said Bram while rubbing my head.

I nodded and looked at Bram with question marks.

"Already, I'm fine. We will connect again. Bye Zanu," said Bram.

Bram and one of his men walked away from the campfire. And one more member stood not too far away from me. With standby position, see the situation around the field.

Is that how dangerous my position is right now? Arriving in control of everything.

I shut up and looked at the fire. Not wearing it for long, Prita looks out of the tent and walks up to me.
