Not Just a Shadow

Chapter 32

The bets Ryco and Tari made already had the answer. The gawking dance sees Ferdian coming out of Hira's bedroom door, imagining for a week the contents of his pouch will be reduced by Ryco's sometimes unreasonable demands. Ryco was excited as if he had won a sack race, sticking out his tongue mocking Tari's defeat. "Eat for free a week." The gun is slow on Dance filled with an aura of victory. Dance only answered with a breath.

We walked down the road to the tea garden, there was Ma'am Tari all on my right side, Mas Ferdian on my left side. Bang Ryco, who was engrossed in his action with Erna, walked behind me. Looking at the surly Mbak Dance, my heart felt uneasy. "What do you think about Dance? Does he think I've.... with Mas Ferdian? Madam Dance's face was as if she was storing something! Especially when Mbak Tari saw Mas Fer, he immediately applauded the eel with a disappointed face."

"Mas Fer just arrived late at night" I suddenly whispered the word to Mbak Tari's ear as an explanation.

"Hopefully he didn't think strangely of me. Imagine the slobbery they've done!" my inner.

"We're changing rooms yuk!" I told Bang Ryco without asking for Mas Ferdian's approval. I looked back.

"meaning?" bang Ryco asked doubtful of my line of thought.

" Yes, I'm rooming with Erna, brother with Mas Ferdian."

"No, just swap rooms for Dance!" I just looked at Madam Dance full of question words in my eyes. I dare not ask directly, I am not so familiar with her boyfriend.

" I'm sorry Ra, this time we're not in line." said Ms. Dari looking at me after hearing what Ryco said before I said, as if she just wanted to enjoy this moment with her partner.

My mind is traveling everywhere, Ma'am Tari told me his disappointment to see Mas Ferdian who came here. He lost a bet to Bang Ryco. "Is Ferdian angry with me? Ever since I proposed to change rooms he hasn't said anything." My inner self

"meaning?" my answer to Ma'am Tari's question, looks like she's annoyed at my answer.

"Sorry Mom, I really didn't hear your words that much. My mind's on sightseeing again" my mind.

"Fer, you are my sister this one. I was asked not to connect!" suddenly Mbak Tari hit Mas Ferdian's arm and asked me my attitude.

"Maybe his mind is again sightseeing, Ri" Mas Ferdian's reply sounded relaxed. Makes me even more afraid, if only I felt the cold.

"Your man's voice is sexy, this is what keeps you going. Was she also that sexy when.." whispered Ma'am Tari made me pinch her waist that was attached to me.

"Jorok Ma'am! I've never been that.... "

"Handling,"

"Check!" ryco's voice from behind our backs made me and the fun-loving Mbak Dance whisper, shocked.

"Just continue your preoccupation Bang!"

" We're finally here, laper my tummy." Bang Ryco took Erna walking ahead of the four of us.

Mas Ferdian took me to sit on the corner of the shop. He squeezed me, as if only he could sit on my side. Mbak Tari and his candidate sat down against us.

" Just enjoy Ra, this time. Everything we do we know the risks. Don't worry about people talking. Just enjoy our happiness." Mbak Tari's sudden remark like that made me look at Mas Ferdian who shrugged his shoulders like justifying Mbak Tari's words.

There was a pair of eyes that looked at me I accidentally saw. His gaze was filled with curiosity, it made me feel guilty.

"Honey," the call of Mas Ferdian made me realize from my gaze at the person who was on the bench. Ferdian was trying to find something that had set my sights on.

"Hm."

" Want to change the menu?" asked Mas Ferdian softly, still I replied with a slab. I lyrically the person in the room still watching me, as if demanding an explanation.

"Ra, why don't you eat. This is your favorite menu all you know, you are usually the most eager to eat! Let's eat dong!" mbak Tari's.

"Hemm, yes." I answered stiffly, Mas Ferdian still looked at me.

"Eat a lot, you need extra energy to face Mas later, ok?" whispered Mas Ferdian in my ear.

"What vitamins do you whisper Fer? Lahab's right!" belittlement of Dari embarrassed me.

" Vitamins of a million love, Ri." Mas Ferdian looked at me gently, winking one of his eyes teasing me. I looked at her and I swayed my lips in response to her flutter, reciprocated by a brief kiss on my lips.

"Mas," I warned in a furious tone. I pinched his stomach out of embarrassment in front of Mbak Tari and this is a public place. I clearly felt her change of attitude, "So she's cold now friendly, scaring me." My inner self looked at her.

" I know, someone's watching you. And you realize that! Have you been caught covering up your existing status of owner?" as if that question that was in Mas Ferdian's heart was clearly visible from the look in his eyes, the kiss he deliberately did showed an announcement of his ownership status.

" Don't spit out the mess here huh!" The words of Fernad, Mbak Tari candidates make me even more embarrassed. Rarely did he make his golden voice. He rarely spoke in front of us, maybe he felt the babbling of small children so rarely made him join in our chatter.

" Let it be, baby, they rarely meet. Let them express their longing. Let's just say we don't see." Mbak Tari's reprimand on his lover that makes Mas Ferdian give a thumbs up on Mbak Tari.

"You guys are so compact." I'm annoyed at the compactness of Mas Ferdian and Mbak Tari. I feel hurt in this. Mas Ferdian added a small peck on my right cheek. I just stared at him sharply feeling aggrieved.

" My stamp." whispered Mas Ferdian to have confirmed what I had thought from earlier. I just nodded in resignation over his treatment.

We ate with the lava after a long joke without the sound of Bang Ryco pecking. Usually he adds to the mood. Bang Ryco sat with Erna instead of Mr. Febrian and Mr. Ryan.

"Who sat with the bosses, the menu must be more special." Mbak Tari punched Bang Ryco's arm slowly, we gathered again after arriving at the holiday target location.

"Just Ri, don't wait! Just make a mess of my romantic mood!" Bang Ryco nempel keeps the same Erna,

"Tu Ra, look at your brother! Given a direct example of how the adult version of courtship" said Mbak Tari to me. pointing his index finger at Bang Ryco which is not far from our view. Mbak Tari blinked one eye at Mas Ferdian as if they were allied.

" Oh," I lamented, closing my forehead until my eyes were on my left hand. Ferdian pressed his fingers between my fingers. Made me look at him asking for an answer to the intent of his grip. Mbak Dari's words were as if Bullets were fired at the right target.

Mas Ferdian cupped my face to make me look at him.Mas Ferdian looked into my eyes full of emphasis agree with all the words spoken by Mbak Tari.

"Listen, our love guide. He's where you complain, right?" I just nodded my head which was still in the fist.

"We.... "
