Owner of Heart #1
Chapter 6
My heart suddenly beat violently just by reading that very short message, I saw the no and, yes no I don't know. With a still thump I replied to the message.
“Wa’alaikumsalam.. Alhamdulillah well, Mas Yudha how are you?”
I sent the message quickly, hoping to get back. And yes! He's replying!
“Alhamdulillah well, how do you know this is me?”
I smiled like a madman in the middle of the night just because I got a message like that.
“And only Mas Yudha called me, Za.”
I am waiting for a reply from him.
“Oooh, hehehe.”
That only? Is that the only reward? My eyes were still staring at the phone screen hoping that a second message would come in, but it didn't! Oh my God, what should I do? Should I send another message? But what am I supposed to say? My brain was spinning trying to find the exact word I was going to say to him, but in vain because my brain was frozen, it seemed as if my head had been strained that night.
I was just about to keep my phone on the bedside table when I thought my postel was shaking again, I quickly opened it and smiled when I saw the Lieutenant sending a message back.
“Have you slept?”
I quickly returned it.
“Not yet, Mas Yudha is asleep?”
This time I didn't have to wait long to get a reply.
“If you have slept can not WA-an same you dong.”
I smiled reading the message.
“Oh yes, hehehe.”
“Sorry yes, Za, disrupt gini nights.”
“Engga really, Mas, it's okay not sleepy.”
I didn't lie, I was probably sleepy but now my sleepiness is flying and I don't know where.
“Truly, ga anything?”
“Truly.”
“Sorry to end I can only hold hp only at night, if the day is not perfect open-open hp.”
“May busy ya Mas?”
“Busy adjusting in the country of people, so new can contact you now.”
I smiled reading the message, so all this time the Lieutenant did not want to contact me but because he did not have time.
“Where, now can you adjust?”
“Lumayan... yesterday came to his wedding Bang Eddy?”
“Come with others.”
The first conversation through WA began to flow normally that night, we told each other about our activities during this time, he said, the standard conversation was but it became memorable because what I'm talking to now is someone I've been waiting for. The night was getting late, outside the quieter the occasional sound of a motorbike or car passing through the house, I glanced at the wall clock in the room which has now shown the number 1, which has now been shown, but my eyes are still perfectly open with a smile adorning my face.
“It's night, sleep yuk? You have college tomorrow, right?”
“Iya, Mas, noon entry.”
“Ya already sleeping gih, tomorrow we continue again... eh ga anything tomorrow night stay up again?”
“Gak nothing.”
“Ya already, tomorrow we continue to chat..Good night, Za.”.
“Goodnight, Mas Lieutenant.”
“Hahahaha... has risen in rank nih not Mas Sgt anymore.”.
“Hahaha... already know Bang Eddy.”.
“Oh pantesan, have ah tar not sleep-sleep nih... already yes, this one does not need to be bales again..night, Za, sweet dream.”.
“Have a sweet dream too (ga strong penis bales)”
“Hahahaha... ah really yes, don't reply! Hold for tomorrow again.”
I covered my face with a pillow hoping that the sound of my happy, restrained laughter would be muffled. I didn't expect our first conversation to flow so smoothly even though it was awkward at first, but it all started to melt very naturally. Ah, it seems like tonight I will fall asleep with a smile on my face.
****
Smile can't come off until the next day, I didn't tell anyone about last night let this be my secret and the Lieutenant's. I might be able to lie to Mira and my other friends, but not from this one person. He was my best friend from Junior High School until now we studied at the same campus although different majors.
“So?” He asked as he chewed on the poor meatball the mustache in front of the campus.
“So what?”I asked with my mouth full.
“What makes you giggle yourself rich kuntilanak.”
“Iiiih... who giggles.”
“That!” Arga looked at me while raising her eyebrows.
I clenched my lips trying not to smile, making Arga cluck while continuing to eat his bad meatballs again.
“View clearly yes, Ga?”
“Hmm, obviously rich mustache the Mustache.”
Arga answered to make me laugh, the mustache was a poor meatball who had a thick moustache rich in caterpillars.
“I story but don't say ready-who is it?”
Arga looked at me for a while then nodded in understanding.
“Mas Sergeant, uh I mean Mas Lieutenant called me last night! Hehehhe.”
I almost screamed when I told him.
“Oh, the guy you met in Ciwidey?”
“Iya.” I replied while nodding vigorously while Arga looked leisurely draining his meatballs.
“Say again duty outside.”
“Oh.” Arga said as he stood up to pick up the bottled tea in the ice box where the mustache drank.
“Kok only oh?”
“You don't?” Arga raised the tea bottle which instantly got a nod from me.
“Kok only oh?” I asked again as I picked up the tea bottle from Arga's hand that sat back in front of me.
“Yes already, oh doang keep on how?” Arga drank the tea bottle until half was left.
“Comen cake?”
“Komen mah just a minute on facebook.”
“Iiih, mess up the story!” Irritatedly I drank my tea bottle to the end.
“Haus, Neng, hahahaha.”
“Know ah!”
“Hahahaha.. gini-gini.” Arga pulled the chair I was sitting on so it got closer to her, with still a frown I looked at her which was grim.
“For now I can not comment anything, I will not know him so can not comment afraid of wrong.”
“Tap me, Ga.”
“Ok, if that's why I'm talking about you, yes... the first, as I said, you should not expect too high with him, why? Because you don't know him very well either. We don't know how rich she really is, it could fit her WA-an with you, she's another girl there.”
“Ih, can't tsu’udzon.”
“Iya, sorry.. but it's in the worst condition, just for example.”.
“He won't be that rich, Ga.”
“You sure?”
“Insyaallah, if about the girl she will not be rich like that.”
“Know where?” Arga asked as if he could not believe what I was saying.
“Let's know. if for example he is rich, I will not like him, Ga. I can tell if he's not like that just by looking at him for a week in Ciwidey first.”
Arga fell silent then nodded in understanding.
“But still, do not expect too high first yes, Key, who knows he just wants to be friends with you.”
I was silent then nodded in understanding.
“So I have to how dong?”
“Yes already, if he calls you yes reply as usual, just walk first but yes it was not expected too high, do not expect too high, just make friends with you and others until finally you are sure that you really already know him, and you are sure that he also loves you, only dech can ge-er.”
I was speechless listening to Arga, and finally nodded in understanding.
“So it used to be?”
“It's normal, pdkt first, get to know the outside first, let later not miesel.”
Arga said as he stood up to take out his wallet to pay for the mustache.
“Ok dech.”
We walked back to the campus to the parking lot.
“Where are you?” I asked after seeing Arga wearing his helmet and sitting on his blue Scorpio bike.
“Same agreement Vienna,” said Arga while grinning.
“Dating mulu.”
“Who told single mulu.”
“At long ago was not single, there was Mas Lieutenant hehehehe.”
“Ckkk, new also spelled out do not ge-er first.”
“Hehehe, yes - yes ingga. Cariin dong, Ga.”
“You're looking for?”Arga turned on the engine.
“Mau.. but the rich Mas Lieutenant.”
I said while wearing Arga's helmet which I used to wear.
“Tar make the cloning first.”
“Hahahaha.” Without being told to go straight up behind.
“Ngapain tagged? Whoi! Want a date here.”
“Nebeng.”
“Nebeng where?”
“OASIS.”
“That's mah ask usherin not nebeng.”
“Hahaha... Where is the Vienna agreement?”
“BIP.” (Mall is on Jl. Merdeka, Bandung)
“Kan can pass Jl, Riau.”
“Lewatin BIP is mah, not lewatin Jl. Riau her.”
“Hahahaha.”
Arga drove the bike without saying much more. Our campus is located on Jl. The sari park only needs to turn left lewatin one intersection then turn right at the intersection of Jl. Merdeka, has arrived at BIP. For Jl. Riau from the Merdeka intersection we still have to go straight through several crossroads again, but as usual Arga never refused to take me anywhere.
A lot of people are gossiping that we're actually dating, but we don't care because the only people who know about our relationship are ourselves. Arga is indeed more than an ordinary friend to me, if for example I can choose someone to be my twin then I will choose Arga. That's what Arga's worth to me, and vice versa.
We will know anyone who is close to us. Arga once said that later my boyfriend or his girlfriend could not accept our closeness means he can not accept us as we are. If there is a woman who is close to Arga then the woman should be able to accept me, and vice versa. And fortunately our former friends are high school friends or college friends who already know our closeness, so all this time there has never been a problem about it.
But no matter how close we were, we never interfered in each other's relationships. We never forbid contact with anyone because we believe that we will never get in touch with someone if that person is not good for us. Like earlier, Arga didn't forbid me from getting in touch with the Lieutenant, he just suggested that I don't get my hopes up and stay careful, so all the decisions back up are up to me.
