Our Love Among Corona

Back To Love

My days were lighter, having finished my love affair with Luky. It is a joy to reunite our love. Sewing wounds that had been torn by misunderstandings and the sadness of separation. Happy to breathe freely, releasing tightness in the chest. I had a discussion with Luky, about the next two things I have to finish. My relationship with Vavan and also my relationship with Livi are no longer talking to each other. Luky suggested to settle my affairs with Vavan first.

"Why?" ask her.

"Because it's a path that will reopen your friendship with Livi" he replied.

"And am I with Vavan also in office?" ask again.

"That's exactly what it is, go back to being friends with Vavan. Then bring Livi back after that" she suggested.

Makes sense, I thought. Although impatient to see Livi, hugging him, apologizing to him, but Vavan was the first way. It's not easy, starting communication openly, the mind is filled with its own assumptions. What if Vavan got angry, then broke off our friendship. What if Livi also continues the anger between us.

"Thank you and I love you" I told Luky to close our conversation.

"I love you too and thank you for coming back to me" she kissed me on the phone screen. I can feel the warmth of our love flowing through the air. Corona, still here, is the obstacle of stretching the distance between us. However, I also believe, there will be a way, although I do not yet understand exactly when this Corona virus will end.

Chicken Clap in South Jakarta, that's where me and Vavan will meet. He replied to my message quickly, when I told him I wanted to see him immediately. Time to shower and get ready. That jammed area of the capital, although the time to meet is still quite long, it is better to leave first. In a moment, it was time to return home from work for the people living in the capital. Bus, Commuter, Trans Jakarta, Angkot, Banjai, online transportation, all will be busy and jostling on the streets.

I arrived earlier than we promised. Sitting at the corner table looking at the people who ordered the food. Moreover, the online drivers who queue, waiting for the rations to deliver food to customers. Vavan still hasn't read my message. I knew he was coming, because cancelling promises wasn't his nature.

I re-imagine the face on my HP screen, there is still no reply. I sighed and turned it on the fried chicken dipped in a large pan filled with hot oil. The sound of a clap, a busy cashier and people who continue to arrive, some customers must be willing to queue to get a seat. As a favorite street food, this place is far from fancy words such as cafes or restaurants, just ordinary tent stalls whose corners are tied in front of a motorcycle repair shop. Connecting in the afternoon until the evening of this workshop is closed, so Ayam Gepuk tent stalls are always open at this hour.

“Udah long?” Vavan smiled at me, pulled up a chair and then sat right in front of me.

How could he be this happy, I could see his eyes twinkle as usual. Light in his heart and greeted me with a smile. I'm jealous of him right now, he has this wonderful feeling as my heart is mixed up wanting to finish our affairs.

“Mhhhmmm not yet. We want to eat first, or chat first?” my many.

“Message first, before evicted his brothers hahaha” said he sambal laughed. I laughed, he was right. After ordering the food, I started our conversation by sighing deeply.

“Ngapain stress? Like everyone else he raised his eyebrows.

“I don't know where to start. I don't want to hurt you with the words I'm going to say” I explained to her.

“Gua already knows anything else” said as he looked at me.

“Mauli has told me everything that happened between lo and Livi and the cave also already know that you turn around the same Luky” he did not show his anger at all. He wasn't angry, or how, I was busy with my thoughts.

“Gua is not angry, even this is what the cave wants. The cave wants us to go back to kayak first. The four of us, genk gepuk” he had not had time to finish his sentence, I got out of my chair, hugging him full of haru.

Vavan is my best friend who never changes. He knew I used it the moment I broke up with Luky just because I didn't want to face my sadness and loneliness. The ego that made my friendship damaged by Genk Gepuk, especially Livi. Thanks God, now Vavan and I can re-knit our sweet friendship.

“Forget what happened between us some time ago. Gua does not want to lose my best friend gua” I release a hug from him and sit back. Smiled at him, and agreed to everything he said. Lovely Return to love, both to my love for Luky and also my love for Genk Gepukku.

“By the way, how do you order so much food?” askaku just realized that Luky gave an unusual order. Being too busy with my thoughts that seemed to explode, I did not have time to ask.

“For Livi and Mauli” the answer is easy.

“What?” I said to turn my eyes, between happy and deg degan with Livi will be between us when I haven't had time to put words in my head to apologize to her.

“Hey! Here!” Vavan waved his hand towards the streets. Livi and Mauli cross hand in hand. How I envy their togetherness.

Livi immediately hugged me when she arrived at our table. I felt a lot of pain, before with Vavan and now with Livi who seemed to forgive me so easily, without needing to say a word. I feel the warm embrace of my Papu's girl. Ah miss my heart.

“So I've been forgiven nih?” I said wiping my tears.

“Nobody should apologize and should be forgiven. We're both in a state that doesn't know what happens when we're not together. Moreover, the timing when we tell the story is not exactly aja” said Livi.

“Thank you for not being mad at me” I said again.

“You must miss the time I went” Goda Livi.

“According to ngana? Yes yes, half-mampus” kangen I said.

“The call cuddled, mbok me not to be left so lo” Mauli approached us and hugged us.

“Well keep the cave? No one hugs it?” Vavan looked annoyed we ignored. We immediately pulled him to embrace the four of us.

Lovely love Geng Gepukku. Thank you for giving me friends like them who are so kind, so loyal to our love. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
