Arrival Marinah, mama Angga makes Laras dizzy seven circumference. In addition to pretending to get along with Angga, Laras must also be willing to go with Marina on the sidelines of the campus activities. Looks like Marinah really likes Laras. Since yesterday he has continuously praised the change of Laras which looks very beautiful to him.
“Befit Angga at home with you Ra. You're beautiful. If my mom is really the same with you. Beautiful, pinter, nice attitude, where can meet the perfect ghost candidate like you” praise Marinah answered a sweet smile Laras.
But I was wasted on your son! inner Barrel.
Actually Laras wants to be honest, but he has not found the right time. Every day when he met, Marinah looked very happy with Laras, he took the girl to the mall, shopping, and eating at a fancy restaurant. Barrel so feel not heart. But on the other hand Laras also came to the Angga, the guy seemed to enjoy the opportunity.
At one time with Marinah, Angga shamelessly embraced, hugged, or even kissed Laras forehead. There was no sign Angga would tell Marina about the rift in their relationship.
“Ra tonight nginep ya?” tawar Marinah was immediately answered Baras with a hard belt.
“I want to nginep at a friend's house ma, want to do the job, have a promise from yesterday” replied Laras lied, forced tonight he will bring himself to stay at Manda's house.
“Yes, when is dong usually? Mama will want to spend the day with you, so we can spa in the afternoon, continue to eat together”
“Pas mama want to go back to Singapore, Laras nginep here” replied Laras promised, Marinah smiles happy to return to show expensive dresses from a website. Baras quietly sighed. Her life felt like she was on a roller coaster.
...*****...
Laras's breath made Dano turn away. “Why take a breath? Asthma.”
Laras snorted, leaning his head against Dano's boat. Tired, that is what Laras feels, but not physically but mentally.
“I want to jump. Heartache see people happy with their life choices” murmured Laras staring out the window of Dano's car. They were on their way home to Laras' house. Dano glanced at Laras for a moment then turned the car in the park near her home area.
“Bang Abe, ketoprak one, wap” Dano said opening the car glass.
“Cie wants to date in the car, know dong” laughs Abe when seeing Laras
“Ngak want, entar recaptured again” kekeh Dano then raise the car glass.
“You still hungry?”
“No, make Sri. I want to nahan you until midnight” Dano replied kalem. Laras did not protest, now he really wants to be with Dano and escape for a moment from the immortality of his heart.
“Here I see your face” said Dano stroking Hair Barrel.
“I'm tired, I want to be honest with Aunt Marina, but hard”
“You want me to help you?”
“Nggak.” Gelas Laras refused, this time he wanted to solve his own problem. Laras could not imagine if Dano interfered, Marina could have a heart attack because of the man's crazy idea. Enough Angga alone made Dano high blood.
“Kalo you need me, just say, I am ready” Dano said grin wide.
“No, if you were born again and could be sure of your life. How do you want to live?”
“Gini belief. I am happy with my life now” Dano replied.
“I enggak”
“Yakin?”
Laras nodded. “I am grateful for my life, but there are situations where I wish I could live freely making my own choices. Honestly, after I met you I found out that freedom is expensive, especially for a woman like me.
I want to be free to go wherever I want, wear the clothes I like, make friends with anyone, and live by my own decisions without fear of regret or failure. I hate to hear the phrase 'kalo ngokutin my word, you can fail.' I think I just want to be supported with a little confidence, because actually I am also not bandel-bandel really” said Laras at length. His heart was too heavy, making his mouth work faster stringing words to deduce his feelings.
Dano looked at Laras closely, knowing that she had just crossed the line she had been creating. Feelings of affection seeped into Dano's heart. What if he took this girl away? He gave her the freedom she always wanted.
Laras may be happy, but what if at some point he finds out what Dano really looks like? Will Laras continue to dream of that freedom? What if he just goes away and disappears?
Dano's frown furrowed exorcising the gloomy feeling in her heart. He pulled Laras into his arms and patted the girl on the back. That's all he can do, because in certain situations, hugs win more than verbal sentences.
Baras dipped his face into Dano's chest. Calm and pounding, a sensation of feeling that is so Laras enjoy. Had Dano known Laras liked him what would have happened? Will this embrace continue or will they part at a crossroads?
“Life next I want to be a fish” mumbam Laras.
“Let me prepare an aquarium for you, keep it in my room, so we can interact every day”
“No, I'll see you change clothes.”
Dano gawked for a moment then laughed loudly. He touched Laras's forehead slowly.
“I didn't think I'd get there Ra.”
Laras grinned, his eyes fixed on Dano's face. Handsome without flaws is the right picture to describe Dano. Baras just realized how can a guy as cool as this hug Laras? Did Laras ever save the world in his previous life?
Carrying the atmosphere of Laras pulled Dano's face closer. The barrel kissed Dano's lips, only briefly and then bowed his face in shame.
“Kan I told Ra, if the kiss was real”
“I'm ashamed” geleng Laras refused to lift his face. Dano smiled amusedly rubbed the hair of Barrel and kissed his forehead.
The sound of a window tap rang out, Laras hurriedly took off his embrace from Dano while the guy took his order.
“Neng, tomorrow if you marry your brother who is made sexy consumption yes. Guaranteed the most delicious ketopra in Indonesia” cerocos Abe before Dano and Laras drove away.
Dano took Laras around for a while, until the time showed at half-elevenpm their car had just turned towards the house of Laras.
“Tomorrow I'm stuck at Angga”'s house
“Make what?”
“Tante Marinah wants to go back to Singapore and I have promised.”
Dano was silent, sounding softly his breath. When their car stopped right in front of the Baras house, Dano turned off the headlights of the car. Unexpectedly with a quick movement Dano rewinded the Baras chair until the girl's body jerked.
Not giving a pause, Dano kissed Laras. An aggressive kiss that made Baras a little surprised. Dano pulled Laras' hand around her neck. It is like the fidelity of not wanting to give a pause between them.
Dano kisses slowly down, her lips tuck into Laras' neck area while her hands slightly unbutton the top of the girl's shirt. Baras whimpered, feeling a suction and a small bite under his neck. Signs of redness appear everywhere, some appear in open areas. But Dano didn't care, he intentionally. The red color on the body of the barrel will be a sign that it belongs to someone.
Dano wants Angga to know that.
“Ra...” call Dano end the action. Laras looked up with a cengo look, it was too difficult for Laras to digest Dano's attitude earlier.
Dano jealous? Or is it just a regular kiss?
“You are mine. And what belongs to me must remain for me. I don't like sharing with others” Dano said obviously.
Barrel gulped, does this mean he can have a little hope in the guy?
...*****...
Dano really intends to make Laras difficult and awkward in front of Marinah. Lucky throughout the day there was not a single word Marinah about the neck of Laras, even Laras dare to assume Marinah did not ngeh because the color was slightly disguised by powder.
“Ra, you sleep on top, I'm under.”
Laras nodded, this was the first time after so long he set foot in Angga's room. Nothing has changed, even the photo of Laras with Angga is still on the guitar rack owned by the guy.
Laras had taken a picture of himself and Angga when Laras for the first time set foot in Jakarta. Laras smile appeared, Baras appearance used to be very funny. Short shoulder-length hair, green shirt, light blue pants, and gray sneakers. Unlike Angga who only wear jeans and hoodie. The barrel in the photo looks like a fan who is meeting an idol.
“I used to be so screwed,” laughs Tingly barrel lying on top of the bed. Angga looked up a little peek at the photo in the hands of Baras and joined in smiling amusedly.
“That was the first time we went to dufan” Angga said.
Laras remembered, a week of his arrival from Surabaya Angga invited him to go to Dufan. Fun, because it was for the first time Laras could walk all day, even almost until midnight he just returned home.
“Inget when we first met? I was shocked to see you” chuckle Laras peeking down.
At that time Laras heard the news of being engaged to Angga and could only guess what the boy looked like. The only photo of the handle Laras is a small photo of Angga with Mother Liem, in the photo is fat and funny Angga. Laras thinks maybe Angga is not much different from the photo. But when met, Laras gawked, handsome Anga, much more handsome than Yono, the son of Pak RT proud of his village which was predicted to be able to conquer the good looks of the capital model. Angga style calm, calm, polite managed to make Laras suddenly not care. That guy is perfect.
But that was before. When Angga was still a Baras world.
Now things are changing and for Laras there are a lot of Anggas out there who are much better or worse than that guy.
“Why shock? I don't eat people” kekeh Angga look up.
“You're a stranger with a world that's too different from the world I used to”
“Therefore you agree with our matchmaking?”
The shrug barrel puts the photo back on the table. For a moment the two fell silent until the sound of Angga's breath.
“If if we go back like we used to...what do you think?”.
“As before...” Mumbles Barrel. It used to be on his dictionary when he trusted, worshipped, and made Angga the center of his happiness. It used to mean back as Baras with a boring world. In a second it became a nightmare for Laras.
Angga grabbed the hand of Laras, both of them stared for a long time. “I regretted cheating on you. I'm stupid, stupid, asshole. But I still hope there is a second chance for me and our relationship is back to what it used to be”
“Back as before...but you who just I went” reply Baras.
“Kalo I ask you back you want?” ask Angga very slowly.
“Nggak.” Laras shakes his head in refusal. “I love you, but I don't want you to hurt me twice.”
It was the heart of Laras. For him loving someone can only be done without having to have that person. After all, back to the clinging of someone who has hurt him is a stupid act of love.
Laras loves Angga, but he doesn't love that guy. Love and love are two words for different feelings. After all, Laras' heart has now gone to someone else.
...*****...
Before going to Singapore Marinah suddenly wanted to eat pepes fish. Favorite food that he always tasted every time he came to Indonesia. According to Marinah pepes fish made by Ratih is the most delicious and certainly made by Laras will not be much different from the concoction of his mother. Forced throughout the afternoon Laras had to be trapped together with Angga stewing pepes while Mbak Anas behind drying clothes.
“Why not blender?” lament Angga. His eyes are a little watery because they have to stain red onions. Laras turned away, for a moment giggling amused to see the look of Angga.
“Kalo in blender it feels different”
“How different? The stomach will not care about the results of blender or not, the important thing is that there is food in”
“But your mama's tongue cares about rasa” reply Laras grin.
Angga turned away, his feelings bursting happily when he saw Laras smile. When was the last time Laras laughed because of her? All Angga could remember was the frowning face Late at every look at him. Especially since their fight at Alea's party.
“Ra nih”
Barrel turned away for a moment. “Smaller.”
Angga sneered back at the stare, his eyes really sore.
“However I will continue, you help me cut tomatoes. I want to make sambal” laughter Laras amused.
Angga nodded hurriedly running to the sink to wash his face.
“Your eyes are red really”
“Iya. Out of the possession of the PDIP” bull replied Angga origin, unexpectedly Laras laughed crazily.
The most famous of these, Laras, is completely different, not only from the outside but also from the inside. Laras is no longer stiff or formal as he used to be, he responds to Angga's jokes, laughs shamelessly or even occasionally taunts the guy.
A sense of regret slowly crept up on Angga's chest. How could he just take off the barrel? Had Angga chosen to remain with Laras surely this feeling would never have arisen. Maybe you will feel happy. Having someone perfect by his side is the dream of Angga and Laras having that.
“Awh!” Angga screaming. His daydreams made one of his fingers slice through a knife. Barrel turned away, his face instantly turning worried.
“Hold back I took cepat”
“Udah Ra, this is just a small wound” shouted Angga but Laras had disappeared taking P3K box.
When they returned, they sat on the floor. Barrel blew Angga's finger while treating the guy's wound. Angga stared fixedly at Laras with a feeling of regret, this girl was someone whom he had broken his heart.
“Ra.
“Sick huh? Hold the bentar.”
Angga's hand pulls Laras and his head rests on the girl's shoulder. Baras jerked, but Angga's breath made Laras hold back. Not long after that Baras could feel a small stuffing. Laras was surprised.
For the first time Laras saw Angga crying in despair. Unknowingly Laras' hand was raised up patting Angga's back. As hell as that guy, still he was once a part of Laras' life.
Amidst the atmosphere that was so confusing for Laras, Marinah appeared, she was stunned to look at Laras and Angga then her smile broadened.
“Yeah, instead of cooking even dating here” seductive Marinah.
Laras and Angga both looked up a little misbehavior.
“Why are your eyes red? After crying scolded Baras huh?”
“Iya Mi” nodding Angga short tidying up the contents of the P3K box.
“You graduated from marriage, huh? Mama likes to squirm” said Marinah, Laras so dumb.
