Our Love Among Corona

Red Roses In The Lobby

This morning was much brighter. My heart has found a new adventure. Struggling with the group Love is not Tourism. I feel the same with many people, this solidarity is strong. I've communicated with some of them. Some through DM Instagram, facebook even whatsapp. Interesting, seeing people crowding on the Instagram account of the Directorate General of Immigration. Couples who are separated either in Indonesia or are stuck abroad ask for certainty from government regulations. When the struggle for a visa that is separated from his favorite can be met.

My good mood today is not only because of the meeting of the spirit of struggle through Love is not Tourism. But also because today is my birthday. Luky called hours last night. Singing birthday songs from English to German. He also sang other German songs that his mother used to sing when he was a child. Then he translated the meaning of the song.

He also wrote a special love letter and then he read it when I was about to go to sleep. Long love letter even I slept without knowing if he finished reading the letter he made. It was all a beautiful gift to me. I never asked for anything else from him at this time. I don't want another gift, just him and his love letter.

Waking up in the morning, of course, I still bring happiness from this young love drama. After giving thanks on the bed, as is my custom when welcoming the day. Then my feet came out of the bed. HP screen flashing, love is calling. No need to wait long to answer her sweet voice with my still raucous voice.

"Guten Morgen sweetie" she said, which means good morning in German.

"Guten Morgen honey" I said.

"Alles Gute Zum Geburtstag, again" he said, repeating his birthday wish.

I laughed considering he had repeated his birthday wishes a few times from last night. We continued the spoiled morning chat. He took me to the toilet and made me some coffee. This is our way of accompanying each other in the morning. Although the difference in German and Indonesian hours is 5 hours. That means he stayed up late in Germany to be able to enjoy the morning together. Although this is not too often, because after all, it is not healthy for him to stay up every night. I told her that someone sent me flowers in the lobby. I'm going down now, right after I read the message from the courier delivering the flowers.

"Oh check it out! someone might really in love with you" she replied.

"But who is it, there's usually one of my friends who sends flowers on her birthday, Tika. Just that he didn't say anything" I still chatted with him while changing my nightgown and preparing to go down to LG.

"I'll turn it off first. The elevator doesn't sound obvious either".

I went to the lobby and asked the receptionist if anyone had sent me flowers.

"There's mbak. Red Rose. Happy birthday to you" says the receptionist.

"Thank you" I replied with my mask-covered smile.

I approached the flower which was a large bouquet of Red Roses. My eyes couldn't compromise when I read his name written there. My own tears without getting out of the lobby.

Happy birthday my love. I'm sorry I can't be there. I hope you like the flowers. Your Honey Bunny, Luky.

Perfect on my birthday. The smell of Red Roses rose as I pressed it against my face and brought it to my apartment. Not long after, I called her back and cried. Ah miss this, the more powerful it is in me. Tok tok. Right after I called Luky. Must be this Tania, maybe she's heard me as much as before.

"Can I come in?" Tania asked.

"May Tan" I answered without getting out of bed.

Tania came in and looked around the room. He saw a rose lying on my bed.

"That's so beautiful. You're lucky to have a guy like him, who's far away, when pandemics like this struggle to keep sending flowers" Tania sat at the end of the bed.

"Happy birthday girl!" Tania handed the parcel in her hand.

"Oh wow! Thank you! When you prepare it. Your feelings never go out of the house. Just like me" I received a small bag from her hand and then took the gift she wrapped.

"This is what Tan is?" manya curious. Even though of form I already know.

"Open up" he told me.

I tore up the paper wrapped in the lizard. Obviously it is a book. I wonder what book he gave me. My face turned bright as soon as I saw the cover of my favorite book. Where did he get this latest book, while I haven't been able to get it. My subscription store said the book hasn't been in there yet. Tania was full of surprises.

"Thanks so much. You know what I'm looking for". I hugged Tania.

"Yes, equally. I'm going to the mall just a little bit more. Wanna come with me?" Ask Tania. I thought for a moment, then shook my head.

"I just woke up, in addition to arranging these roses, I also have a phone schedule with a clap again".

"Okay, the kitchen list that I need to buy whatsapp aja yes. Let me shop for our cooking needs later".

"Ready. Again, thank you for the card".

Tania hugged me once more and then got ready for the mall. I smell my own body, I still smell my pillow. Very happy with the roses that are currently in front of me. I haven't had a shower yet, the phone rings again.

"Brave birthday!" Genk gepukku yells almost simultaneously via phone.

They sang happy birthday songs and took turns to make good wishes for me. I assure them of all their good prayers.

"Recommunation here. Very well in the village. Don't we know our apartment?" ask them.

"Gue will be back soon anyway. If not this week maybe next week" Vavan said.

"I'm still a long time beb. There were other family events and my parents asked me to stay here first. Plus the Corona issue they heard is getting worse in Jakarta. So parno deh them this" Mauli explained his current condition.

"I'm also Vashla, I can't go back yet. Papa is fine, only I stay a little while longer" Livi's tone still sounds sad.

"No, you guys didn't come back. The important thing is to reach Jakarta" I said, which was greeted by their laughter.

We miss the screen. Like De Ja Vu, at the time I was in Estonia there were often foursome video calls like this. Now it's in Jakarta, still a video call as well. But I'm grateful, imagine how many people don't have good friends to share their stories with. While I, have them all.
