The night was just spent with silence in the room, just friends of silence and a stack of textbooks. In fact, I was quite surprised that the glass cabinet containing sacred objects was no longer in place. I was so afraid that I would touch her again, although I was still curious. Where's that closet, now.
*
In the morning, I felt something strange on my side. Something warm and beating like a heart.
"Open your eyes" he said softly.
I was shaking, still closing my eyes, I buried my face in his arms.
Silent...
We let our breath clash. For quite a while, I was still reluctant to open my eyes, staring at her bead that made me hesitate. Slalu's eye beads show sincerity, but sometimes the eyes slalu look at me bitterly like there is still someone in the pendam.
"How are you, Rinjani?" he asked while stroking my shoulder.
"I feel small near you, I feel insignificant when you're not by my side."
I rise from my sleep. Sit down, tie my hair.
"Me?" kaysan's forehead wrinkled.
"Devicious, look at the glass." I rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead.
"My news is good, Mas. Didn't you give me a lot of good people near me."
"I'd rather you call yourself by your name." Kaysan held my hand.
"Why, is there something?" ask again in a peeking tone.
"How are you, my dear?" I asked while tightening his hand. This hand makes me calm. Makes me float with his touch.
"I miss you, Rinjani" she said by kissing my forehead.
With a smile I reply to him.
"I miss you too, Mom. My missus is bleeding." I kissed the back of his hand.
"I'm sorry, Rinjani. Let today I make amends."
"meaning?" Surprised by Kaysan's talk, he didn't ask me to skip college. Today there are subjects that I have been waiting for, because this lecturer is one of the cultural who definitely knows the ins and outs of the Hadiningrat family. I can ask and take answers from him. Cunning indeed, but nothing. I got an umbrella before the rain flooded my face.
"What time did you finish college?"
"Ehm, one o'clock."
"Well, after one o'clock I'll accompany you. Where are you going, Rinjani?"
I nodded my shoulder, "I don't know, Mom."
"Related?" ask again.
"Just at home with you, I'm happy, Mom. No need to go anywhere."
I do not know where to go, it is not possible to go to the Mall or to other entertainment places. Home is the safest and most comfortable place to be right now.
*
Lord, I would love to be deaf to the words spoken by everyone, about him. The words that chopped my heart into a heart that broke like minced meat.
Lord, teach me to be an impostor. So that I can still move forward with certainty, without having any bad preconceptions that pervade my mind, about him.
God, I just want a simple love. Like the love of the sun for the moon.
*
"Mas, today's work?" I asked while putting books and laptops in my backpack.
"Just for a minute, until you get home from college." I nodded, though,
"I'm leaving first, Mom."
"I'm taking!"
My lips pursed, "If you get to the parking lot. My friends will suspect, I'll just take the bike."
"Who allowed you to bring your own bike?" Kaysan was ready with his official clothes on, now he walked over to me.
"You're not allowed to be with me, Rinjani?" His eyes stared intently at me, "Where were you yesterday?"
I looked down, "Just go to college and. meet Nina."
"Return keys!"
I nodded, I took the key in my pants pocket.
"This, sorry." I said sorry.
"I'm back. Don't do anything without my permission, Rinjani!" The volume is above average.
"Just wanted to meet Nina, I'm sorry."
"I'm not in your way, I just want to take care of you."
My head puffed up, "Protect from what, Mas? I'm an adult, I know what I have to do."
"Everything you do, I know, Rinjani."
I've already wiped my backpack. And, get out of the room.
Kaysan didn't come after me, or hold my hand. He just stayed in his place.
Sometimes I get tired of being quiet, I want to scream out loud. For the world to know, I love her, love uncertainty.
*
In the parking lot, Parto had already held down the gate.
"Open up, I have to go to college."
"Nobody's allowed out!"
I grinned, "I can be late! I can be punished by the lecturer, dear Mr. Parto please open the door!"
Parto kink. I kick the gate, if the end of this gate is not as sharp as a samurai, I must have climbed it. At least the hobby of climbing a rambutan tree when I was a child can still be channeled.
I turned around, Kaysan walked towards me. I took a long breath. I miss it but I don't want to be restrained anymore either.
"Get in the car!" It's been taken by my hand, if I had a teleportation technique, I would have disappeared from earlier. But baby, all I have is a lick. Irritatingly.
*
All the way to college, I just kept quiet. Kaysan don't ask, his lips were tightly closed.
This guy is cheating, but I'm in love. I should be angry, right. Why the opposite
"Let me down by the side of the road!"
Kaysan turned his head, then refocused his eyes on the streets.
Clenching my hands, I punched Kaysan on the shoulder. "Fuck, selfish, mean!"
Bugh, bugh, bugh. "I hate you, Mom."
"Do as you please." Kaysan stopped his car on the side of the road. I'm blindly hitting him.
"All this is looking for meaning, Rinjani."
I hit Kaysan's arm one last time. Before I finally lowered my head, something was already wet on my face.
"I know nothing, and you take me hastily to your world. I who know nothing should accept you who could have found another wife when I got bored. I who know nothing must painstakingly suppress my ego to just be myself!"
Kaysan took a tissue and wiped away my tears, "It's so crying, already angry?"
"It's over!"
Kaysan smiled, "Stop thinking badly of me, Rinjani. All you have in mind is your own fear. And yet, I did nothing."
"Your sisters, the painting, the green shawl, the rector of the college? Then, after this what else should I know about you, Mas?"
"You need to know, I love you all my heart. And, never doubt my love for you."
I moaned, "Lie, not funny! I never even said I love you."
"I love you, my empress, my cherry."
[I love you, my wife, my daughter]
My body shakes at his words.
"Forced to say no love, or just to comfort me!" I said I don't believe.
"Listen to me carefully, look into my eyes, Rinjani? What is a lie? What else do I have to prove, if you're the only one for me?" Kaysan's voice rang out, "I love you, though I'm honestly embarrassed to say it."
"Why?" many wonder.
"I'm afraid, you don't repay my love. Love a mature man who needs a touch now."
"Bettle! We meet on the side of the road." I pushed Kaysan away as his face approached mine.
"A little while, can you?" he said expectantly.
"I was sad again, even told to be weird."
"I'm melting your sorrows, here." His eyes were already grinding mischievously.
"Don't!" [do not want ]
"Do you want me to be a cow?"
"Wants to mate with a cow?"
"That's been three days I don't marry you, I think I can go to the hotel."
"Don't!"
"I curse you to be the cow I can feed."
"Egyptian, perverted, perverted. There is no candidate for King of this model. There's nothing!"
