One Hundred Eighty Degrees

Old Memories

The clock has shown at nineteen p.m. Firman is getting ready to take out his favorite motorcycle. Tonight he was so excited to pick up Arin. Since last night he was very impatient to wait for this moment.

Although he has not fully realized that his feelings for Arin are not just a feeling of affection as a brother to his sister. But he knew very well that meeting with Arin made him addicted. Because his heart will surely flower after the meeting.

Firman propelled his motor at high speed. He really can't wait to meet and have dinner together with his childhood best friend. Since a few years passed he could never get a chance to play again both as before when he was a child. Especially for a hangout with Arin. It was because of Arin's always indifferent attitude when meeting him.

Once he reached the main gate he immediately called Arin to notify his arrival. It did not take long to wait for Arin to be ready and out through the gate that looked very sturdy and large.

Once he arrived before the Word without further pleasantries he immediately climbed on the motorbike. Arin's performance tonight wasn't as formal as last night's performance. She always looked beautiful with her simplicity. While the Word is still always made flabbergasted by its charm.

This time no longer makes the distance as when he was first rammed by the Word. He docked to the body of the Word and hugged it from behind. The Word who knew it was immediately shocked and smiled at the same time. His heart again beat fast to become unbecoming. He was silent for a moment and enjoyed this rare moment.

He tries to control his happy feelings. The nature of Arin who changed one hundred and eighty degrees from before made Word try to pat his own cheek. He even pinched his own arm to make sure that this was not a dream. But this is such a beautiful reality.

“Mas! How not to leave yet?” asked Arin astonished because almost three minutes He waited for Firman to turn on his motorbike. “What is the motor problem?” ask Arin again.

“Eng, no really! Here I want to turn it on.” Answer the word groggy. He was made to distrust himself who was acting foolishly by staying silent for so long in front of Arin.

“Do we take a taxi?”

“Eh, no! I turned it on.”

“Abis, long time ago you turned it on! If it is a problem we take a taxi!” arin suggested.

Before I answer Arin. Word chose to start the motor immediately.

“Tuh, right no problem?” the Word tries to prove.

“Ya. Directly hit the gas!” arin's orders are excited.

“I can speed?” ask Firman before he actually sets foot on the gas pedal.

“Its okay. Not problem!” arin replied quickly.

The motor is traveling at high speed. The Word so permeates the atmosphere that he thought was very rare and full of happiness. He smiled at himself.

“What do you want to eat?” ask Arin for the word. Once we arrive at a restaurant of Arin's choice.

“I want the best diet menu in this restaurant!” arin replied while looking at the menu list in his hand.

“Diet menu? You're on a diet?”

“Yeah deck? You are so skinny! Still want skinny like what else?” Firman asked in wonder while watching Arin from head to toe.

“I want skinny kayak girls in china it loh!” said Arin told the Word his purpose to do the diet.

“Don't Ah! That's enough of you. If taken care of again even kayak skull sentar!”

“According to you I'm fat huh?” ask Arin seriously.

“And I told you not to diet! You are sexy!” answer the Word half tease.

“Kok sexy anyway? The effect is like I'm fat and contains ya?” Arin asked again because he felt the Word's answer was less convincing.

“Yeah deck! How do you explain it? Anyway, you've had enough! No need to diet anymore. Point!” word of Word tries to convince Arin back.

“Yes, I want to order my favorite food. Without thinking about weight anymore.” Said Arin relieved. He felt the specter that always haunted him had now disappeared. He was always worried about his weight.

There's a lot they both talked about tonight. Starting from past memories that reopen Arin's memory of some of their silly behavior in childhood. Arin did not think that many things the Word remembered about them. Even the memories are so detailed. He also reminded Arin of his fear of the millipedes.

Unlike the Word that is so strong save the memory of his childhood with Arin. Arin forgot about it a lot. Of his many childhood memories with the Word. He only remembered about his injuries during the divorce of his parents. A memory he always tries to forget. Even if it can't.

The conversation without feeling makes time pass so quickly. Because the night was getting late, they ended the meeting and rushed to go home to their respective boarding houses. But what happened next is completely out of the ordinary.

As it came out of the restaurant suddenly the sky rumbled. The stars seemed to disappear by the sweep of the dark clouds. The air around also seemed to be getting cool. Signs of rain will soon fall.

Seeing that, Arin looked worried. He was worried that rain would soon fall before they returned to their respective boarding houses. Moreover, they only use motorcycles and do not carry raincoats.

Word immediately turns on his motorbike and orders Arin to ride immediately. He was also worried that it would rain while they were still on their way home. But if you wait here. He was also worried that Arin would come home last night.

Finally it rained before Arin reached his boarding place. Because the closest distance from their current position is precisely the rented house of the Word. He offers Arin to stop there first. While waiting for the rain to stop. Arin also does not reject and just agree with the Word initiative.

When you get to a small rented house but it looks pretty good. Arin was a little surprised because he also just found out that the Word did not live in a boarding house like he did.. Instead of contracting one house to live in alone.

“You contracted mas?” arin asked so successfully into the rented house with a little run. The rain is also starting to get worse. Arin's clothes get a little wet on the back and shoulders.

“Iya! I was told to share the same with om!” word's answer deliberately mentions Papa Arin because so that Arin knows that it is also part of his papa plan.

“If you, why don't you contract because you're a deck girl! I'm worried that you're living alone! Different from kosan. You will have many friends there.” Firman continued his explanation because he was worried that Arin misunderstood the purpose of his father distinguishing a place to live between the two of them.
