Married With My First Love (Travel Story of Lantern Love And Scintillating)
30.Bizarre
A month already Lanterns are doing their job.
This month he received his first salary, although not much but he was grateful to be able to feel the results of his own work, he received his salary tonight,he immediately walked towards the clothing store around there which was open until the early hours of the morning, and bought a scarf to give to Sela.
This August was his first sad day of separation from Sela, his best friend who had accompanied him for the past three years.
Next week Sela will leave for the Lion Country because all her needs are ready.
The last month they never even met because Lantern is busy working and Sela is taking care of the preparation for her college entrance.
...*...
Until Sela's departure day on Sunday morning.
Tera who was saying goodbye to people at home to the airport to take his best friend running out of the fence of the house that has now changed color.
Not far away, Gilang stopped beside him with his new motorcycle, complete with a helmet on the head and another in his hand.
He threw his helmet at Tera who was confused looking at him.
..."Ride, if you wait for the bus to hunt your friends leave first, you are not there yet."...
Tera, according to him, while wearing his helmet, he got on the bike.
Gilang took off his jacket.
..."Kok removable mas, it's still morning, cold to know."...
..."Then if you already know it's still cold why only wear shirts so."...
..."Hurry up, so don't remember."...
..."So wear this quickly," Gilang turned out to wear a double-coated jacket....
..."Eh geez mas Gilang to wear two jackets like this, not sultry mas."...
..."Yeah no, but stuffy, haha, right for you, so I saw you running, so I went back in my double jacket."...
..."But it can be held."...
..."You don't see, I have a helmet, I have to hold the jacket again, you think how many hands I have."...
..."Hehe sorry mas Gilang."...
..."Tumben really you laugh so, usually always run away if you see me."...
..."I don't know, it's a hunt, don't keep going, eh but I want it to be the same in Gilang?"...
..."What, splinter?"...
..."Since when do people call someone else "You" "I", usually always say "Gue" "Elu" like that."...
..."Since then, hahah, don't know me, forget me."...
..."Udah,mas Gilang use "gue" "elu" aja, I prefer to hear it."...
..."Yes it's up to me dong, you want to call what people, it's too busy for you."...
..."Eeh sorry mas, don't get angry, still morning,hehe."...
..."Yeah, you shut up in the back, we're leaving."...
...*...
Thirty minutes drive to the airport, but Sela is still waiting outside the airport.
At exactly nine o'clock, Sela's plane will fly.
Since it was still at half-eight in the morning, they still had plenty of time to be together there, even though Tera and Gilang could only deliver until the airport lobby, but it was enough to make Sela feel meaningful, she said,moreover, that day Tera came with Gilang, at least there were two friends who stared at his disappearance today, while his mother did not come along because she could not part with the eldest child, he said,if they deliver, Sela could not go.
Because it still has to check in at the airport, then Sela must enter and take care of her departure alone.
They hugged each other there, holding back their tears from spilling and making them look miserable.
Tera takes off her arms from her only friend, and puts a red scarf around Sela's neck, encouraging her to stay there until she finishes college.
Gilang patted Sela's shoulder, while helping to give her spirit.
..."Thank you, Brother Gilang, thank you Tera, because you guys already want to bother sending me here, you are fine here, oh yes Tera you are the spirit of his work."...
..."Ready Sela, you're also fine there, we'll go home yes, don't forget to tell me when you get there."...
"See you later, Sela." Gilang waved his hand at Sela who started to step away from them.
...The lantern that was unable to hold back her tears, began to cry as much as there, while covering her face with both palms....
Crying as he walked, Gilang grabbed his shoulder so that he did not hit anything in front of him, while continuing to pat Tera's shoulder outside the airport.
..."I'm done crying little brother."...
Tera interrupted then took her hand off her face, her eyes reddened.
..."For a long time I could be prying your cry."...
..."Why?"...
..."I've forgotten how many times I've seen you cry like a kid."...
..."Yes, but not yet five times right." Tera's voice is still hoarse....
..."Hum hasn't been like it, but I'll make sure it's up to five times later, haha."...
..."Can you, mayo go home."...
..."Okay little whiny kid."...
The lantern hit Gilang's shoulder, then climbed on the motor.
The journey home that morning was hard for Tera, she still had to survive until the end of the year here without a friend, despite having friends work and tutoring, but they were different from Sela.
..."Mas Gilang, I can stop by, if you don't want to wait, Mas Gilang can go home first, later I take a taxi or taxi just go home."...
..."Where you going?"...
..."Want to make it to the city."...
Their voices on the motor broke the silence on the road that morning.
Not long after, they arrived at the city park which was seen starting to bustle.
Tera went down and ran first towards the tall linden tree in front of the artificial lake inside there.
He sat down and rested his body on a tree.
It's so quiet, he sat there last time with Sela.
Tera closed her eyes enjoying the wind in this slightly overcast morning.
Gilang followed him, standing not far from where Tera was sitting, Gilang took out his phone and photographed the beautiful girl who still closed her eyes under the lush tree.
Gilang looked at the girl who was now in her phone, although it looked beautiful, but her face always seemed sad, no matter how many complaints were stored in the heart of a girl as young as it was.
Gilang clasped his phone tightly, stuffing it back into his jacket pocket.
Deep in his heart, he longed to embrace Tera, to listen to whatever was to be told to him, to tell him honestly that he loved Tera, but it wasn't easy,the girl will definitely think she is playing tricks on others, because from the beginning the girl also knows that she really does not like her presence.
They were drowning in their own daydreams.
The lantern opened its eyes and looked at Gilang who was standing there staring blankly at the lake.
..."Mas Gilang" Call Tera....
Gilang was silent.
The lantern finally stood up stepping towards Gilang.
..."Mas Gilang's."...
..."Uh yes, why."...
..."Mas Gilang why."...
Glory shook her head, then suddenly hugged Tera.
..."Mas Gilang, why the heck, not shy around people."...
..."Can be quiet for a while, if I get off now even more embarrassed."...
The lantern finally kept quiet, letting Gilang hug her despite not knowing what the reason her brother was hugging people carelessly.
Gilang finally took off his embrace, then stepped leaving Tera behind him.
Tera ran after.
..."Mas Gilang nothing, not obviously, after hugging people carelessly even run away, not apologize."...
..."I'm sorry, quick wear, we're home."...
...Tera according again....
They left the city park increasingly crowded.
At home, Tera opened the helmet and gave it to Gilang without saying anything.
Just about to step into his room, his arm was again held back by Gilang.
..."Mas Gilang, why the heck, later looked at the same people home, can be hit by our scolding."...
..."Tera, sorry I."...
..."Sorry why the hell mas?"...
..."I'm sorry because ever since you came here, I can't accept you, but right now, I'm afraid you're out of here."...
..."Ih mas Gilang what the hell, definitely afraid of not having a beautiful maid again right."...
Gilang even pinned his head, because annoyed to see Tera even responded jokingly.
..."Aahh sick tau."...
The lantern held his head.
Gilang had already removed his grasp and was preparing to leave Tera.
..."Mas Gilang's."...
..."Apaaa."...
..."Not so, get in there."...
The lantern ran into his room avoiding Gilang who was preparing to clasp his head again.
Gilang laughed himself at his behavior.
They each went into their own rooms.
Thinking about each other.
There was something strange in their hearts.
But they are equally afraid if expressing what they are feeling actually makes the distance between them.
Tera dejectedly rolled her body in a mattress until she fell on the floor.
His head hit the floor, fortunately there was a fur carpet there, but still his head hurt.
..."Argh."Tera grimaced while holding her head....
..."All because mas Gilang nih, I even became strange like this, from earlier it was not clear his behavior, what else said I did not want to go from here, I shuddered it so, what try to mean, what else said I did not want to leave here,Oh yes, if I didn't exist, he would be lonely because no one could be bothered, ish would be more upset."...
The lantern grumbled alone in his room.
The above is no less frustrating.
He almost said his feelings to the unstable girl which made him feel even more unbecoming.
