Owner of Heart #1
Chapter 5
I was back in my training pants behind my beautiful dress, but this time I was wearing it in Mira's car, Mira was going to drive me home but I refused because it didn't feel good for Arga. How can I go home in Mira's car while Arga who had deliberately come to accompany me had to go home alone on his motorbike. After the same break, Arga and I began to leave the Bhayangkara building.
“So he didn't come?” asked Arga a little scream because his voice was muffled by the sound of vehicle engines passing around us.
“Engga, said Bang Eddy again duty out.”
Arga nodded in understanding.
“Terus?” asked Arga again making me raise a confused eyebrow.
“Keep what?”
“So what made the grin of earlier?”
“Hehehe..” I just smiled answering Arga's question who stopped his motorbike because of the red light at the intersection of Husein's statue.
“Bang Eddy gave my phone to Mas Lieutenant, he said later he would contact me.”
“Oooh.” Arga nods in understanding, “But do not be too hopeful, tar instead hurt,” continued Arga while returning to advance his motorbike.
“What's the reason?”
“Kan he again the task outside so must be busy, especially if the task abroad there is a difference in time here the same there.”
I just fell silent and realized that.
“Where are the external tasks?”
“Don't know, Bang Eddy just said duty to the outside.”
“If it is still around Asia the time difference will not be too far, well if it turns out the task in Europe, America or Africa will be much different. So meningan do not be too hopeful rather than disappointed later.”
Arga turns his bike into Jl. Baladeva, which means soon to be at my house on Jl. Milky.
“Dimming now focus the same in front of the eyes aja.”
“Who?”
“That Bang Kamal same Rendy kanya still like you, from earlier ngeliatin continue. Or the same Dude Management child who has been chasing you from the first semester.”
“No, ah!” I shouted in Arga's ear.
“Why? They are also good.”
We have turned to Jl. Milky.
“Yes, only I don't want to.”
Arga stopped the bike in front of the house, I went down to open the helmet and handed it to Arga who was still looking at me on the bike.
“LDR-an is heavy, what else are the same people we do not know.”
“Iya, but if you have to maksain dating the same people we do not like also do what?”
Arga nodded in agreement.
“Ya already, anyway do not expect too high later fall ill.”
“Iya... don't log in first, Ga?”
“Engga, want to watch Vienna.” Arga smiled broadly as he prepared to leave.
“Ckk.
“Wa’alaikum salam.”
I stood outside the fence until finally the Arga motorbike got further away before entering across the yard of my house which is quite spacious, the type of houses of old times. The building of our house has been renovated but still maintains the shape of the building as before. From the outside it may still look like a beautiful old building and seem cool, but the inside will feel more modern with a minimalist feel but also thick with traditional Dad's collection of trinkets.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Wa’alaikumsalam.”
The voice of my mother and Dirga answered my greetings from the kitchen.
“Kok, Cepet, Key?”
“In Bhayangkara kok, Mom, the invitation.” I answered while drinking in the refrigerator. The distance from the house to the Bhayangkara building does only take 10 minutes if you ride the motorbike and do not get stuck.
“In pack no, Brother, the food?” dirga asked with a mouth full of cheese balls that mom just made.
“Emang.”
Dirga just grinned while returning to pick up pieces of cheese sponge.
“Then what's the menu? Delicious no?”
As usual, you are always curious about the menus at the reception, he said to make references in making new menus, so as not to miss the same other catering.
“Obviously, Kekey only eats his chicken satay, lazy to hang it long.” Though it is not about the anger that makes me lazy but I was more excited to find the Lieutenant who did not even come.
“Yeah, let's see who knows there is a new menu that I don't know yet.”
“Dirga knows, Mom, menu that I don't know yet.”
“What?” mother asked excitedly while looking at Dirga who was swallowing her balls.
“Ayam cocked!” dirga replied seriously making the mother furrow her brows thinking.
“Ayam cork? What? How felt? Delicious no?”
“That's it, Mom, Dirga also do not know because the chicken is stuck just to be cooked,” replied Dirga with an innocent face, making me laugh immediately while walking towards the room, from the direction of the kitchen, Dirga complained, which means that the mother had successfully pinched him.
I have changed into shorts and loose-fitting t-shirts, the most comfortable home wear in my opinion. While sleeping on the bed I looked at my phone with a big smile imagining a message coming from the Lieutenant. But then put it on the table after turning on his MP3 when recalling Arga's mostly correct remarks.
Adele's melodious voice singing Hello began filling my room that afternoon. My thoughts drifted to Arga's words about Bang Kamal and Rendy who he said still liked me. One of my weaknesses is never realizing that there are men who like me, especially if it is my own friend.
I knew that from Mira. At first, I thought of their attention as a concern between friends until finally Mira told me that they both actually have more feelings, after which I only realized that their attention is more than others. But I don't want to ruin my company so slowly I'll draw a line with them and convince them that I just think they're friends nothing more.
Likewise in the campus usually if someone teases me, I will just continue to walk without turning my head that is why I am famous judes. Though not because of that, I'm quite shy and a little introverted, I'm not comfortable being among people I don't know yet, I prefer to be alone in silence than in a frenetic atmosphere.
And it was in this OASIS that I learned to socialize with new people and environments, slowly growing my confidence even though sometimes still awkward, but now it is much better than before.
That afternoon I fell asleep in the hope that when I woke up there would be a message coming from the Lieutenant. But it does not come, days change but let alone incoming calls, messages are not there. Every time my phone rang with 45 spirits I picked it up right away but all the calls and messages were not from someone I was waiting for.
It's been almost a month since Bang Eddy's wedding, and I've surrendered to the Lieutenant. As Arga said I tried to forget it and almost managed to forget it when on Wednesday at 11 pm, I was preparing to go to sleep when my phone rang and there was a message coming in.
I lazily opened it, but suddenly I jumped up on the bed, my eyes seemed to be out looking at the contents of a short message on the phone screen because I could not believe what I was reading. I even read it over and over again, but the content of the message was still the same.
Assalamu’alaikum... how are you, Za?
Za! It says, Za! And there was only one person who called me that.
