Sunday, February 14th..
The last day Lantern was at Gilang's house, because tomorrow he would go to continue his schooling.
The lantern that had prepared the suitcase and some documents in his room, could not fall asleep at all until twelve.
Determined to express his feelings, he finally stepped out of his room and did not turn on the lights, fearing that his mother would wake up.
He was also curious, as Gilang promised to tell himself who the young man liked.
But they didn't even have the chance to meet all day, for fear of being discovered.
Tera, who stepped on the stairs, hoped Gilang had not slept.
Until in front of Gilang's room, he was silent for a moment before finally venturing to knock on Gilang's room door.
The door opened quickly, and Tera was not even finished knocking, and she was out of her room.
..."I'm sorry, if I didn't get to see you, I came home from college this afternoon, my mom and dad are home, so I'm afraid they know that if I meet you, my mom says I can't bother you,because you're getting ready to leave tomorrow."...
..."No matter what mas Gilang, I also came here because I can not sleep, the reason is still curious about the promise of mass Gilang."...
..."So you're just here to make a promise, no one wants you to talk to me."...
..."There's, but I think I forgot, hehehe..."...
..."Yes, I forgot too."...
..."Ih mas Gilang cepetan said, I'm afraid that later the mother will wake up and keep nyariin me."...
..."No, it's late at night, no one wants to get up at this hour."...
..."Yes so dong mas hunt Gilang, do not make me curious for years in the land of people."...
..."But I also want you to say something."...
..."Did you mean Gilang?"...
..."Come on in."...
..."Uh don't want to, we're in the reading room."...
..."Okay.be."...
They stepped into the reading room next to Gilang's room.
Cross lock the door.
..."How are the doors locked, golda Gilang why?"...
..."Let it not be heard from below."...
..."Look out if you are talking about."...
..."Won't do."...
Gilang opened the curtains, so that it was clearly visible the lights that lit out there.
The night always looks beautiful from this room.
They sat opposite the now-increased seat, and there was a small table separating them.
Gilang turned his back to the window, facing Tera.
Tera continued to stare out, she froze and did not dare to say anything.
Gilang looked at his shoulder face calmly.
For some reason, the face looks more and more sad at this time, making Gilang more and more want to touch it.
For a few minutes they were silent like people who did not know each other.
Until finally the sound of the silhouette resuscitated Tera from her daydream.
..."Lanterns..."...
..."Uhh."...
..."It's been half a night, you don't sleep, tomorrow you're definitely sleepy from staying up late."...
..."Not anything, later can sleep on the plane, Goldas Gilang itself also does not sleep, tomorrow must go to college."...
..."I'm gonna skip tomorrow."...
..."Why?"...
..."Not strong ngampus have to separate from you."...
..."Can only, most also happy because no one has disturbed mas Gilang."...
Gilang stood up and moved beside the lantern.
Tera herself prepared to move away.
..."Mas Gilang what do you want?"...
..."Want to sit near you, fear you didn't hear what I said."...
..."My ears are still good tau mas, called from up here down there also hear kok."...
..."Hehehe, I know, but just want to sit near you"...
..."Now a sneak tell me, if you don't want me to come down."...
..."Yes, I am patient."...
..."So who does Gilang like."...
..."Very important yes, hehe."...
..."It's important that you make your own promises."...
..."But not because you're jealous, right?"...
..."What is mas Gilang."...
..."I like Lanterns."...
..."Who?"...
It was not that he pretended not to hear, but he just wanted to make sure that his name had just been mentioned by Gilang.
He was annoyed to feel Gilang continued to play tricks on him even at times like this.
..."Mas Gilang, I'm serious, I'm here secretly it's not want to hear mas Gilang kidding, let alone messing with other people's feelings."...
..."You mean, who's playing around who's feeling?"...
..."Yes do not know, I want to go down, but Gilang until I want to go also still nyebelin."...
Gilang quickly pulled Lantern's hand and made Tera fall into his arms.
He hugged Tera firmly and did not give the girl a chance to avoid him.
..."Mas Gilang did not !"...
..."Don't want to, if I let go, you'll leave."...
..."Get out of here or I'll scream."...
..."I let go as long as you promise not to run away."...
..."Yes, I didn't run away, but Gilang was sitting far away."...
..."Okay..."...
Instead of staying away, Gilang instead sat closer while grasping Tera's palm.
..."Mas Gilang's."...
..."Why the."...
..."Take off my hands."...
..."Tera, you don't believe me."...
..."No.no."...
..."But I'm serious, the person I've always liked was you."...
..."Since when?"...
..."I don't know since when, but obviously now I know, if all this time I've liked you."...
..."Didn't you lie?"...
..."No Tera?"...
..."Mas Gilang still likes me even though I know I'm only a maid in Gilang?"...
..."Yes, I know, and I'm well aware, but I don't care about that."...
..."Totally sure."...
..."But mas Gilang, do not expect much, many people whose relationships are broken because of long distance."...
..."I don't care, if I need to catch you there later."...
..."Mas Gilang said kayak gini so I still want to stay here and be the one who always wants to be disturbed by the Gilang mas right?"...
..."Tera, this time please believe me."...
..."But what I do know, since the beginning I came here, you never like me?"...
..."Tera, I'm sorry about what I used to be, but now I'm serious, I don't mean anything else, I do like you, I do like you,I also don't want you to go because I don't know what to do if you're not here, but because you want to go to college, I'm sincerely waiting for you until you come back here again."...
Tera could only silently listen to Gilang speak, once again she lamented everything, why Gilang had to say such a thing exactly a few hours before he left this house.
If Gilang had said it a little earlier, he probably wouldn't have left everything here just like that.
Without looking at Gilang's face.
He decided to say his feelings too, even though Gilang actually already knew.
..."Mas Gilang's."...
..."Da."...
..."I also like Gilang."...
..."I already know, that's why I wish you could stay here longer."...
..."Did you know where it was from?"...
..."I've read your blue book..."...
..."Mas Gilang's..."...
..."I'm sorry, for not saying anything before."...
..."So all this time, I'm alone like a fool has tried to hide everything, but gold also already know everything."...
..."I'm sorry."...
..."When did you read my book?"...
..."End of last year."...
..."Did Gilang read everything?"...
..."Yes, everyone, so again I'm sorry."...
..."Mas Gilang evil."...
Tera took her hand off from Gilang's grasp, she ran towards the door, intending to leave Gilang, but Gilang had already pocketed the key of the door since.
..."Mas Gilang, please open the door"...
Gilang stood closer, he did not want Tera to leave him alone, even though he already knew about their respective feelings..
..."Tera, I'm sorry, I also accidentally saw the book you missed here, because I was curious, so I opened it and read it, but you know, as long as you know,I also like you long before I read your book, so I don't want you to think, because you like the same I keep on me also sentin to like or mess with you,no. Tera..."...
Tera still did not believe in Gilang, but she also felt happy because it turned out that Gilang also harbored feelings for her.
Once again Gilang hugged him.
..."Tera, trust me."...
Tera nodded with hesitation.
..."Thanks Tera."...
Gilang took off his embrace, then wiped the tears on the face of Tera who had long wanted to touch it.
Gilang got closer and made Tera cornered behind the door of the reading room.
He grabbed both of Tera's hands and placed the tiny hand on her waist.
Gilang's breath felt warm on Tera's face.
He kissed the delicate cheek of the girl he was beginning to love.
Tera closed her eyes, feeling her heart beating faster than usual.
Feeling inadequate, Gilang tried to kiss Tera's lips.
Because Tera was silent, Gilang continued and hoped that Tera would reply "First Kiss" from him.
Tera who carried the atmosphere and the touch of Gilang's hand on his face, making him unable to refuse and reciprocate Gilang's treatment on him.
Gilang finally felt Tera start to believe him.
Gilang immediately removed his hands from Tera's face before they dissolved in the cold atmosphere of the night.
Given the age of those who have not even reached twenty years.
Tera looked at Gilang shyly, then covered her face with both hands.
..."Why it's closed, I already know what it's like."...
..."Mas Gilang's..."...
..."Tera, thank you for believing in me, sorry for taking "First Kiss you."...
..."He was before me, but Gilang had been with someone else."...
..."Never before, so we're the same."...
..."Mas Gilang carelessly ih."...
Gilang pulled Tera's hand to sit back in the chair.
Tera according to him despite realizing the time had shown at two in the morning.
..."So how's it going now?"...
..."Meaning you?"...
..."Our current status is what is Gilang?"...
..."Oh that, I got you, you got me."...
..."But tomorrow I'm leaving."...
..."It's okay, I'll wait for you."...
..."But if later mas Gilang or I can not survive, we stop yes."...
..."Don't wanna."...
..."Mas Gilang, I'm not there for a while, and I'm not going home even if it's a vacation."...
..."Why don't you go home?"...
..."I'm afraid that if I go home often, I'm even hard to go back there, so I told my mother I'll go home when I graduate later."...
..."Okay, I'm still waiting for you."...
..."It's up to Gilang, which obviously I've been telling you about Gilang now, so don't expect too much from a long distance relationship."...
..."You're being evil?"...
..."Mas Gilang too."...
Say no more words.
He closed the curtains, because it was getting late at night.
They were still sitting there and not feeling sleepy at all.
Gilang told Tera to take a nap, and would wake her at four in the morning.
Tera finally fell asleep and leaned back on Gilang's boat.
Gilang could not fall asleep at all, and continued to firmly grasp Tera's palm.
She was really scared after Tera left her tomorrow, this girl would just forget about it when she was already living there.
He laid Tera on his lap and kept staring fixedly at the face of the girl who was now his girlfriend.
In the past he did not even want to linger to see Tera in front of him.
...But now he was actually very afraid of losing this beautiful girl who was always sad-faced....
He felt that all this was punishment for him for ever hating lanterns so much.
