Love is Not Just a Word

Strangeness of Arman

"Wake, work". I said over whatsapp phone that's connected to Arman's number.

"Hmmm". He said it was short and immediately turned off. The word hmm I think hinted like a person who behaved indifferently. After that I let it go without opening a message from Arman.

Until the afternoon I did not open the message from Arman. Likewise, Arman why not send another message to me. I finally saw him online when I had the intention to open the message from Arman.

"Good afternoon, my friend". I sent a message with my incompetence even though I had included emoticons in my message that I sent to Arman earlier. After an hour, Arman replied.

"So much love". He said via Whatsapp message accompanied by hugging emoticons. Why her? Tumben - the tumbent. Without a second thought I replied to the message from Arman. I just started typing Arman also typing messages.

"What else is it?". The message from me is that Tika is not stopping - she stopped hurting Hahaha.

"Later to your house. I miss you as you nduk". The message that Arman sent was after typing a long time which in the end just type like ckckckckck.

As usual I only wear the simple when out of the way - the same way Arman. Sometimes my name is never used. Until my face catches me too I keep pede way out with Arman. Yet another strange thing from Arman was clearly visible in my eyes. This time he came but forgot to say hello to my mother. Whether it was intentional or not, I don't know either. And again now he wears shorts and short-sleeved shirts. From Kulon Progo wear it only. My surprise is not to play. Not surprised because it looks more contemporary. But I'm surprised why can an Arman wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts?

"Tomorrow now.". He doesn't greet

"Yes, just sit there". I said behind my room. I tidied up my hijab and it occurred to me why did she not say hello as usual?.

"Mas".call me. And to where he usually sits.

"Ono sopo sis? (said my father who was out of the yard)". Father don't know? Thought.

"Mas Arman. Lhoh Mas's". I'm afraid he's sitting impolite. No longer polite he sleeps in the chair (the Javanese used to call it lincak). With one leg bent and the other one straightened (slonjor).

"Pbuh, why don't you know if you came here?". I'm confused

"You told me to sit down, right? Yaudah I sit.". The answer is as good as jidat. Is all his sweet attitude just pura - pura all this time?. And tonight? What the hell happened?.

"Sir, ngapunten ngggeh wau directly lenggah riyen mboten salaman kaleh mr. riyen (sorry yes sir, was directly sitting down shaman used to be the same father)". Whatisthis? I murmured in my heart

"Survival ngggeh, Ajeng dolan dilit (Pak want to go straight away, want to maen for a while)". I said

"Judah, heart yes". My father also agreed.

"Assynoga". Arman and I said hello. I saw from far away my Father who was sitting a little saw us who had almost become a shadow. . "Hopefully good this time" . Mumbles.

"Udah ready?". Ask.

"well, Gooooo." I said excitedly.

The destination was already present in front of the eyes. We enjoy the beautiful city of Jogja from the top floor of the new Cafe near Tugu Jogja. The breeze made me want to breathe as much fresh air as possible. But the waiter did not come so we just moved to another place.

"Picture of dong Hahha". I said

"Hahaha yes duk, want to go to the usual place I hang out not yank?". I don't know why everyone who calls me baby I'm a baper myself Hahha. Jones' final policy on gini wkwkwk.

"Can you, far away?".

"Not to mention also nyampe stay muter aja kok"... We also turn in the direction to go. Turns out Arman took me to a cafe again. But different Cafe.

"Nduk forgive me. I'm afraid to make you sad and can't make you happy". Arman said while sipping coffee that is almost cold.

"Hmmm I'm okay, I'm happy enough. Just calm". I said try to smile.

"Mmm Oiya.. You didn't order anymore? You haven't eaten yet, have you?". Ask Arman

"No, no more appetite. Wanted to snack on Hahhaha..".

"Mass...".. Call Arman to one of the Cafe waiters.

"We want to go home? This is dear to eat.. ".. Arman did not answer. The waiter came with a quick step so that customers did not wait long.

"What food is up to you"... Arman said as he handed the menu book to me. I was silent too. But if I argue that Arman will be angry with me. I finally picked Rawon Fried Rice that I had never tried before. All I know is the rawon. Once it has been ordered and until the order comes Arman silent no sound. Until the sound of Arman's phone also resuscitated the silence of the night both of us even though the atmosphere of the cafe was so very crowded. Especially tonight is Sunday night.

I ate a dish that a few minutes ago was served by the Cafe waiter. Yes, the one I ordered was Rawon Fried Rice. It looks good too. Understand about the food I just taste good. Except pare jengkol wkkw.

"Mas, would you like to try? I'm bribing ya"

"Boleh, what a sosweet you are".

Aaaa... Arman opened his mouth. Not even food got into his mouth his phone rang again.

"Yes, Mas Arman picked up the phone first."... Finally a spoonful of raw fried rice that I ate myself. However,

"This dong. My mouth is here. He said he wanted to bribe me".. Arman ignored his phone still ringing.

"But the phone is..". I said to point to Arman's phone ringing since then which he had already picked up. When Arman's conversation with who it was that phone was over. The phone rings again.

"old ahh.. Mm mm... Delicious also bribed candidate yes 😂".. Arman said that made me blush in shame.

"Hello.. How's Haloo Assalamualaikum Bro?". Said Arman who was still smiling - a smile to me when I was bribing earlier. He picked up his phone a few times already ringing.

"...."

"From again karo kancaku (it's just like my friend)"..

Deg. Like a slap to me . Whahuh? a fella? Just now he said the same candidate I was?

"....". The talk of his friend that I did not hear myself.

"Hhhha ora - ora, iki karo my girl (no, this is my girl)". Ah, ah, I don't understand. Tika don't want to be Tika.

"Who called Mas?". My whisper. I finally got to hahaha.

"Hima Darling". He said while stroking my head.. Girls who don't melt are treated like this. Hidhi. Btw Hima's? That's how Arman is with Hima.?

Sorry late up 😢
