Misplaced Taste
BEST GIFT
"Greetings continue!" aldo is shocked at Rasya, who lives in the school cafeteria.
The break bell rang earlier. Of course, Revan, Rasya, and Aldo are currently in the cafeteria. Aldo and Revan bought drinks and some food for the three of them. As for Rasya, he was busy with his own thoughts.
"What's the hell?" ask Aldo curiously.
"Gapapa," said Rasha, drinking his iced coffee.
"It must have something to do with Raisa" Revan guessed.
Rasya just nodded small. "Today's her birthday" Rasya said.
"Continue?" tanya Revan and Aldo.
"Gua was confused to give her what gift," answered Rasya.
"Bright. Haven't you given me?" ask Aldo not to believe it.
"Worse," said Revan.
"Where do you want a gift? Gua only just found out yesterday the opening time of Kak Gio's Instagram," replied Rasya.
"Sister Gio?" reset Revan.
"Yesterday when the cave between Raisa came home, she immediately got a surprise from her family," explained Rasya.
"Keep, the cave scroll Instagram eh nemu photo of Raisa's birthday," continued Rasya.
"Yes a family photo. Gio's brother is also coming," Rasya said.
"Hmm, interesting," said Aldo.
"I mean you?" ask Rasya.
"Father," short Aldo.
"What are you planning to tell Raisa?" ask Aldo.
"Ga knows, confused the cave," Rasya replied.
"This boy is not really capital," said Aldo.
"Gini-gini, you take Raisa's way to the city park. Well there you give her a doll or something that girls usually like" Aldo proposed.
"It's true! Who knows if Raisa can start opening up to you" said Revan.
Rasya fondled the proposals of his two best friends.
"Must be a city park?" rasha asked as if unsure.
"It's up to you anyway" Aldo replied.
"If you don't go to the exhibition" Revan suggested.
"Gua heard this afternoon there is an exhibition in the city square" said Revan.
"It could be" said Aldo.
"OK, deh."
...****************...
Raisa is waiting for an invitation at the school gate. The clock was showing at 15:45, but Devan never went to pick up his sister.
"Not yet to go home, Rai?" tanya Rasya approached Raisa.
"Not yet" answered Raisa.
"You want to be with him?" bargain Rasya while turning off the engine motor.
"Udah together, Rai," said Aldo who happened to come out with Rasya and Revan.
"That's right," said Revan.
Rasya coded her best friend to pass away leaving her with Raisa. Could later fail Rasya's surprise event.
"We go first, yes, Rai," said Revan passing away leaving Rasya and Raisa.
"Come, Do!" bring Revan.
"OK-okay."
"First, yes," said Aldo.
Rasya quietly waited for Raisa's answer.
"Where?" ask Rasya again.
"Rai, I'm sorry it's late" said Devan, who had just arrived.
"What a hell, sister," answered Raisa.
"Hi, Brother," said Rasya as Devan looked at him.
"Hello," replied Devan flatly.
"Yuk's home!" bring Devan.
"Wait, brother," stop Rasya while getting off his bike.
Devan scrunched his forehead in confusion. While Raisa was just silent waiting for the continuation of Rasya's sentence. Is it true that Rasya will ask permission from his brother or not.
"I beg your permission to take Raisa on the road. Can I?" rasha asked expectantly.
Devan raised one eyebrow. Just this time he got someone asking him for permission other than to go in and out of his room. Devan feels like an old man.
"Where are you going?" ask Devan.
"To the city field, brother. I want to take Raisa to see the exhibition" Rasya replied.
Devan looked at Raisa. He would only give permission if Raisa wanted to too.
Raisa nodded her head. "Before night is back" said Raisa.
"OKAY. Before seven o'clock" said Rasya.
"Fines. Have fun for us" said Devan.
"Thank you very much, sister," said Rasya.
Devan nodded his head. "Be careful" Devan said as he stroked the top of his sister's head.
"Yes." Yeah."
Rasya passed by leaving the school gate with Raisa. Devan looked at Rasya and Raisa who had disappeared from his eyes.
...****************...
Elsewhere, Rasya is taking Raisa into an art exhibition. There are a lot of paintings, sculptures, batik, musical instruments, and many more works of the best artists in Indonesia.
In addition to art exhibitions, there are also many sellers who sell a variety of toys, dolls, food and drinks of various flavors and colors.
"What do you want to buy?" rasha asked Raisa who had just been quiet.
"Hmm, don't want to buy anything," Raisa replied without turning her eyes to some exhibition stand.
"Yesterday's your birthday, huh?" rasha pretended not to know.
"Heem," answered Raisa nodding her head.
"The cave was not invited" Rasya said.
Raisa looked at Rasya. "There is no one who lives" said Raisa.
"Oh," Rasya oh ria.
Whether conscious or not, from earlier Rasya and Raisa apparently joined hands with each other with affection.
Raisa seems comfortable with her hand held by Rasya, her upperclassman who used to irritate her. While Rasya, also looks happy because Raisa's hand wants to be held by him.
"Rai, come!" take Rasya to Raisa to one of the doll sellers.
"What do you like dolls?" rasha asked without letting go of her hand to Raisa. In fact, the other hand he has used to pick and choose dolls.
"What the hell," Raisa replied glancing as if she had no interest in some of the dolls being sold.
"This how?" rasha asked showing a boba-shaped doll.
Raisa shakes. "Too big," he said.
"Oh, like the little ones?" ask Rasya.
"Not so, if kegedean difficult to carry," said Raisa.
Rasya was busy picking up dolls. Until finally, he found a small deer-shaped doll with its cute horns.
"This?" rasha asked showing Raisa.
Raisa smiled thinly. "Lumayan" he answered.
"OK buy this one," said Rasya directly pay the doll.
"Thank you" said Raisa received the doll given by Rasya.
"Sama-sama," said Rasya, gently shuffling Raisa's hair.
"Sit there, yuk!" take Rasya back to bring Raisa to the bench that is still empty.
"A moment," Rasya left Raisa on the bench alone.
"Now!" rasya said that he offered the drink that he had opened the lid to Raisa.
"Thank" said Raisa.
"Why do you love grotto gift?" ask Raisa.
"Because the cave wants to," Rasya replied casually.
"But yesterday on your birthday the cave did not give anything," said Raisa.
"Even your show failed," Raisa added.
"Sttt," Rasya placed his index finger on Raisa's lips.
"It's not you who destroyed it" said Rasya.
"The cave does not need a gift from you," continued Rasya.
"Lu has become the best gift on the cave's birthday," said Rasya staring at Raisa's beautiful bead eyes.
"Lu is the most beautiful prayer that God sent for the cave" said Rasya.
"Your presence in the cave life has become the best gift" continued Rasya.
"On your seventeenth birthday there is a cave, Rai. Lu bawain cave cake was made happy cave. Even that was the first time for a cave," Rasya said.
"For a long time, if the cave birthday can only eat with Aldo and Revan. There's nothing else. From the cave's first birthday to seventeen. If it is not the same maid in the house, it is the same friends of the cave," explained Rasya.
"Gua has only met good friends since Junior High. The cave meets Revan with Aldo who is always there and ngisi lonely cave."
"And now, you've made Rai cave," Rasya honestly stroked Raisa's hand gently.
Raisa smiled thinly. "Your parents?" ask Raisa carefully.
Rasya smiled wryly. "They are busy," he answered.
"Oh."
"This is also the second best gift for the cave," Raisa said showing the doll giving Rasya.
Rasya smiled broadly at Raisa's words.
"During this cave emang never celebrated his birthday. Even the cave also forgets the same birthday of the cave if not the mother who ngingetin," explained Raisa.
"Yesterday, the first time was given a surprise with Kak Devan and given the same gift of mother, oma, Kak Devan, and Kak Gio," added Raisa.
"Now, you also give the cave a gift. Thank you, yes, yes," said Raisa with her sweet smile.
"Yes, equally," said Rasya stroking the top of Raisa's head.
"Sometimes, when we see it as eleven twelve ga anyway?" ask Rasya.
"meaning?" raisa is confused.
"You already have no parents, the cave is also left by the parents of the working cave. We are both lonely" said Rasya.
Raisa nodded slowly. "Maybe God brought us together to complete each other" Raisa said.
"Quiet down. You can consider your sister's cave or your best friend if you want," said Raisa.
Rasya nodded with a smile.
"Back, yuk! It was dark" said Rasya.
"Yeah!" Raisa moved from her seat.
The two lovebirds left the exhibition with a feeling of pleasure. There is no more confusion between the two of them. Could it be that they will grow in taste with each other?
