Bram is silent.
I looked at Bram. I'm not used to this kind of atmosphere.
"Sister, I'm just gonna get down here. Please stop the car" I'm getting upset with Bram's attitude.
"Why? You must not go down in any place," replied Bram slightly ketus.
"From the gini secretly. I don't like it with diamin like this. We need to talk, let me know where the problem is? Ah, I'm going down!" reply upset.
Bram suddenly stopped his car. I was surprised to see Bram's attitude. It's not usually Bram like this.
Did I say wrong?.
Bram sighed slowly.
"Zanu, why do you forgive those who have obviously disturbed you?! I don't want you to be treated like that! I can't! And it's also my fault I left you alone! Huh..!" said Bram ketus.
Oh, that's the problem. Oh my God, I know what. Possessive very Bram this.
"Sir.., they are wrong. But they were also right because in the room earlier could not carelessly enter. They also don't know who the brother is. Their people, they're having a weird problem. At such a time, it felt too cruel for Big Brother to fire them. They didn't touch me anyway. I was also overdoing it because my fear was greater than evading. And I didn't expect Brother's response like that," I began to soften.
"Let's know, I'm just afraid if something happens to you. The more I come here the more I overdo you. I'm sorry,"
"Yes, I'm sorry. But you have to promise, if there is a problem, do not put forward emotions first. In the good digest what the problem is, then find a solution. Sometimes there are problems that cannot be solved. The solution is to avoid, forget or just live,"
Bram nodded.
"Oiya.., why did you say I'm a wife-to-be? Not wrong with talking?" I'm going to Bram.
"Actually I don't want to say wife-to-be. I should have said you were my wife" Bram's lyrics started teasing me again.
Bram's mood is back to how it was. It was nice to see Bram smile again.
"Zanu, how long have you finished college? I'm only one semester away and I'm old enough to get married. Can't I marry you soon?" ask Bram seriously.
The deg! Why did this talk drag him to the wedding? I was in college and I just got to know Bram. My parents would not allow it.
"Sabarlah Brother. I finished my college first. Besides, I'm still a dozen years old. It's too early to think about marriage" I replied.
"Most likely after my college is over, I'm going to America. I'm not here anymore. And that means we'll be far apart. I can't keep you going and can't meet for long. If I marry you now, then you come with me to America. But if you can't, I'll wait for you until your college is over,"
Huh! To America? Is that how fast Bram is going? About a month and a half away from Bram graduation, is that the only time I have left to see Bram?
Suddenly my tears came.
I don't know why I'm being a whiny? I don't know why I suddenly have this sad feeling in my heart.
I quickly wiped my tears so Bram wouldn't see it. It turns out my guess was wrong.
"You crying? Are you afraid I'll go far?"
Bram brought his face closer and looked me in the eye. There were tears in the corner of my eyes. I can't escape Bram.
Bram wiped the rest of my tears.
"You don't cry. Even if we are far away, we can still communicate. By phone or by mail. I'm not gonna fuck around while I'm there, okay,"
"Yes, brother" I answered briefly.
"Now shall we continue this journey my wife?" said Bram while ruffling my front hair.
"OKAY. Let's go...!" I answered with a smile.
"Well, that's my dear dong! I'm getting excited again. We have to get to the boarding house quickly, and then wait for me later,"
I'm nodding.
*******
Bram revives his car. The car drove towards my hostel.
During the trip, Bram gave me some riddles. Sometimes the answer doesn't make sense, even if it does.
Actually Bram was trying to cheer me up by giving me a joke in a puzzle. At least the sadness was forgotten for a moment by me.
Bram and I laughed at the two of us.
A few minutes later, we arrived at the boarding house. Bram's car went straight into the front yard of the boarding house. We both went down and walked into the living room.
Coincidentally the living room door opened indicating that there were guests coming. Make sure it's Atif.
"Assalammu'alaikum," I said.
"Waa'alaikum salam," Prita and Atif's voice sounded.
Bram and I went inside. Seen the face of Prita sumringah when welcoming me.
Hmmm, surely Prita is flowering. His desire to meet Atif was granted.
"Sorry Atif, we're a little late here" Bram said.
"Oh, it's okay, Chairman," replied Atif disinclined.
"There are three boxes of bread in the trunk of the car, please bring it here huh,"
"Good Chairman,"
"Chairman and Zanu, I want to go in first take a drink yes..," said Prita.
"No need to bother Prita, there's Auntie. Prita is here" I replied quickly.
Prita just nodded.
"Look at Prita, we got some bread from the Chairman. Well, if we can the bread we promote to others. The bread is very good, Prita, try it later," I said excitedly.
"Yeah? I love eating bread. There is my favorite bread, usually like to buy my mother from the Mall or supermarket. If not the wrong name of the bread Kembang,"
"Huh?! That is Prita's bread. We were given the Chairman for the children boarding here," I said a little surprised.
"Lha.. The Flower Bread? Duh, it's so good to have that bread. The bread is very good, unfortunately the purchase is only in certain places,"
"In fact, because people do not know all about the bread of Kembang, we help promote Prita," I replied.
"Faith is Zanu. It's so little business..,"
I smiled at Prita's words. While Bram just listened to my conversation with Prita.
Atif entered with three boxes of bread and placed them on the table. Prita was very enthusiastic to see the bread.
I also admit, if the bread made by Bram's factory is indeed delicious. Hopefully in the future more in demand.
"Thank you Atif" Bram said briefly.
"Together Chairman" replied Atif.
"Oiya, Atif's business with Prita is it over? If so, I say yes to Atif to go home" asked Bram.
"Head already. If there is any other need, I can call Prita or stop by here again" replied Atif.
Prita smiled at Atif.
They were talking about anything, right? How I got curious.
"Eitz! Our unfinished business, Chief," I suddenly chirped to Bram.
Bram looked at me.
"Is there anything you want to say?" ask Bram.
"Look here we go out first," I immediately pulled Bram's hand onto the front porch.
Bram was shocked and astonished by me. Atif and Prita just laughed a little at my behavior.
"What's up Zanu? It seems so important that we have to talk outside" asked Bram.
I sighed for a moment.
"Sister, thank you for today. Although I was a little sad about the information Brother had, but I was still happy to be able to walk with Brother," I said a little shy.
"Oh.., what am I. Yes, equally. Don't be sad anymore. If there's anything, call me, okay" Bram replied.
I nodded and smiled. Bram started messing with my hair again. Looks like it's been Bram's trademark on me.
"Sister, why do you like to shuffle and stroke my hair?" manya curious.
"It's a way of expressing my feelings, if I love you. Or do you want more of that?" bram's lyrics are starting to get a little flirty.
"meaning? Is there another way?" many wonder.
"You are Zanu, innocent and understand nothing. Ah, don't think. Let's go inside, they'll wait for us a long time" Bram said.
"No! Answer my question just now, just get inside," I started to frown.
"Zanu.., I mean the other way I was kissed. You want me to kiss? Don't want to, do you? So do not like to ask questions, if it is not necessary I answer," Bram shook his head to look at me.
"Yes ogah ah..! Look out if you dare kiss me" I threatened Bram a little.
Bram smiled to see me.
"Udahlah. It was starting late in the afternoon, pity Atif from earlier waiting for me," Bram pulled my hand.
I just kept quiet and followed Bram into the living room.
"Look Atif we're leaving now. Prita, I'm the same Atif pamit first yes. Sometimes we can stop by here again" Bram told Prita.
"Okay Chairman, thank you, yes" replied Prita.
"Yok let Dek Prita and Non Zanu, I take part too," said Atif.
Prita and I nodded. Bram and Atif left the room and headed straight for the car. Atif directly into the car steering wheel.
"Zanu, I go home first, bye" said Bram and got into the car.
"Chairman, thank you for the bread,"
Bram nodded towards Prita. Then Bram looked at me for a moment with a smile. I returned Bram's smile.
The car drove out and disappeared from my sight.
Bram, I'm actually still missing..
