Me, You, And the Journey of Life

Lunch

The atmosphere of the streets is getting crowded because it is getting closer at lunchtime. Usually, many office employees and city dwellers roam for lunch. Reset the asphalt.

"That means I can taste your cooking. Things I didn't expect," replied Rendra quickly.

Anindi's stunned.

"Can we eat together in the park?" I don't know what kind of wind makes Rendra ask that. It was as if he found his interest in the midst of despair. "Pick up the food again and meet me in the city park. Assalamualaikum." Rendra returned to the car without saying anything more, leaving Anindi still speechless with the lunchbox in hand. After Rendra's car moves, Anindi realizes the man's departure. "Hey, wait!" His screams rang out in Rendra's earlobe, very clear. However, Rendra continued to drive.

"Why do you have to drag this?" Anindi sighed harshly, tired as well. In the middle of broad daylight like this, he had to wander around chasing one creature that he thought was annoying. "Heat."

Anindi glanced at the luggage. It's impossible to take him home again, the only way is to follow Rendra who gives back.

In the end, Anindi also drove a motorcycle and followed Rendra's car. Follow where the man went and hope it ends soon.

Rendra's car stopped right in the city park. The man came down and walked without regard to the cry of Anindi who had also just arrived.

"Hey, you can take this first!' Anindi shouted loudly. Some park visitors are sitting on long benches under shady trees. Beautiful enough for a big city class, at least can feel the shade and can be used as silence, pulled away from the crowd of the city.

Rendra sat on an empty bench. His gaze was straight forward, then followed by the arrival of Anindi who stood in front of him. "You can sit next to me." The man spoke without looking at the opponent's eyes.

Anindi. Its existence here is not for that purpose. He kept a black plastic bag containing a lunchbox next to Rendra and said, "My job is just to deliver this, Mother's message!" Refusing to strictly request Rendra.

Rendra turned her gaze to Anindi, her gaze turning wistfully. "I usually eat alone from a small. Do you refuse it?"

Anindi.

"I'm not asking for mercy. If you want to go, please." Rendra realized this selfish nature was not good either. Take Anindi's gift and take out the lunchbox that turns out to be home food. Tantalize. "I'm getting hungry. Thank you." Thank you."

Anindi still hasn't moved. Some of his little heart said to remain silent, but there was also a small part of his heart that asked Anindi to stay there. Confusing.

Rendra read the prayer before finally enjoying the rice with a side dish of squid, omelet and stir-fry. An inexplicable combination, it's delicious. "Feeling you is amazing." One compliment came out of Rendra's mouth.

"Reason?" Rendra asked while enjoying a lunch that was never imagined.

"You can guess yourself."

"I'd rather hear from the guy directly."

Anindi glanced at Rendra at a glance, looking straight ahead again. The park area of this city is quite beautiful with many large and shady trees and also a long bench underneath. It is very useful to be silent and enjoy your own time. "The biggest reason is that you and I are not the couple to do that. Then, I'm selling, where there may be time to prepare lunch. Especially to be sent to your place. I could run out of time."

"That problem can be arranged." The taste of Anindi-made squid sauce is quite spicy and fitting. Very worth selling. "If you really feel we are not a couple, just make a couple. And lastly, it was the easiest. I can come to your house or shop."

Anindi was surprised. It was easy for Rendra to say that. "Don't just talk!" Anindi.

Rendra looked to the side. "Am I wrong?" Rendra's right eyebrow was raised upwards.

This conversation felt corny to Anindi. Rendra was so good at talking that it felt like Anindi was having trouble finding a gap in order to survive this topic. "This is not something that can be decided quickly. You should be able to understand that!" Anindi's tone rose by an octave with an emphasis on each of her words. "Please, think carefully before you speak."

Rendra gave a small laugh, managed to make Anindi even more furious. "You're too serious." The man turned his face forward again. Look at the fountain in the garden. It was fresher to see the water in the middle of the overwhelming heat. "If it were like that, you wouldn't be able to feel the joy of living. Just relax. Don't think too much."

"I'd be serious if it's important, but obviously I can relax if it doesn't really matter!" Anindi protests. No matter how foreign Rendra is in his life, he has the right to issue an opinion or defend a decision. "It is precisely you who often think anything is joking. But you should really understand which one is joking, which one is serious."

Rendra silence. Not losing, but listening first. Allowing Anindi to let out her heart. That woman must have had a lot of grunts.

Anindi stood up, it was enough to be here. There is no conversation to be had anymore. "I'm actually avoiding debate, but it turns out to be difficult." Anindi was silent for a moment. Pause his words, then say again, "Don't think easy for something serious because it could be offensive to others. You have to learn many things if in this world not everything can be as you wish. Sorry, I'm saying goodbye. Assalamualaikum."

Anindi stepped forward, turned around and took a step twice forward back. However, his steps came to a halt due to Rendra's words.

"I don't want to make him joke, but sometimes we also need to respond casually so that the mind also does not get dizzy. You agreed, didn't you?" Looking towards Anindi, a small smile. "If it's too serious, I'm afraid of drifting and can't laugh anymore."

This sentence of Rendra sounded pitiful to Anindi. It was as if giving a signal of something that wanted to be conveyed to Anindi, even if it was a little difficult. It's just that the guy enjoys puzzles, this is what sucks. The pull is strong, it can't even be guessed.
