Peer Idealism

Shelters

"Consider Pause. Too much beauty is missed in haste."

......................

It doesn't feel like Saturday. Two days after Edy and Rara fused, it became a pair, a pair that fought back. Edy decides to take Rara down. In the city, there were many people waiting for them. Edy doesn't want Rara to be like her, leaving town, her family, her friends, and others who love her. Rara has to go home

"If you can be free, dare to say no, and abandon all hypocrisy in the city, why can't I?? Rara Whine.

"I want to be like you" he continued.

"Don't you do it all because of me. Don't make yourself me. Each individual is unique. I am a uniqueness, you are another uniqueness. We can be together, but we're still two individuals. I am who I am, you are who you are" explained Edy.

"If I'm comfortable being you, why not?"

"Okay, I'm Edy. You also. Where's Rara going?"

"And we're united" Rara fought back.

"United? Unity is two becoming one. If you're Edy and I'm Edy. It's called one being one" Edy explained.

"Once again, the individual is distinctive, unique, one. Although beautiful, the sun is nothing if there are a thousand. You, be yourself."

"All right, my love" Rara joked.

"i won't make you like me, but I will lead you to find yourself. When you become yourself, you will become an extraordinary person. Imagine, I find myself, you find yourself. We are two who find each other. We are a pair that restore the world. We're the pair that saved the world" Edy said.

Rara could not speak anymore. He was very happy with Edy. He never expected, he would fall for someone who had kidnapped his life. Some sort of Stockholm syndrome. Rara loves Edy, the man who made her abandon her popularity, academic achievements, position, and many other things that Rara has. John Krakaeur (the favorite author of Edy) in his book 'Rather than Money, than fame, give me truth'.

And vice versa, who would have guessed that Edy, the man whom Rara's friends call him, a sick man, could fall in love with the head of the organization he only fought against, he said, a woman who came from among the people who always Edy opposed with criticism and cynicism are thick.

What happens is, Edy and Rara have been similar shakespeare in his romance drama. Where Edy is Romeo, Mapala and sanggar teather is montague, while Rara is juliet where HMJ is capulet. If the two obey the mechanism and play to a safe standard, then there cannot be such an incredible love that happened at Mount Gede Pangrango this morning between the two of them. Fighting is the foundation of one's independence.

That morning in Gede Pangrango. The sun comes again, it always comes, but it never waits. A moment does not wait for beauty, in the city or in love, it always goes quickly.

Edy and Rara leave Surya Kencana Square, descend to the Village, and return to the City. Bandung.

...***...

On the way to town

After traveling from Surya Kencana to Cibodas basecamp, Edy and Rara continued their journey back to Bandung. Due to the free time of the two of them, Edy decided to take Rara through the highway, not the train.

They're riding the bus. Between the seats in the bus, they sat in the rear-most smoking chair. There were only two of them in the back seat.

Edy deliberately chose the afternoon trip, so that for hours of bus travel time, Edy and Rara can pass by enjoying the view of the city of Cianjur with red dusk sky.

"To where?" Rara woke up

"Just get some sleep" said Edy as she hardened her grip on Rara's hand.

"To where?" Rara repeated her sentence.

"Till the way" replied Edy.

"From that very moment, the road is all in it" Rara laughed in response. He raised his headrest from Edy's shoulders.

"That's you Tai" Edy said

"Look! not tai" Rara confirmed

"Sorry Typo" joked Edy

"isshh" Rara hit an angrily.

Rara turned her head. He lifted his knees to the chair, his face, and his hands he put on the glass.

"That's in front of all the passengers huh?" ask Rara. Edy nodded.

"Kok people sitting in front of him?" ask Rara again.

"Yes in front" replied Edy.

"Cock us here?" Rara turned her head.

"They are ordinary people. We're not" Edy joked with a cold voice. "You go ahead, join me there"

"Ahh. I'm not an ordinary person. I'm outside them, I'm amazing!" Rara turned her body again, she lowered her legs and sat back down at Edy's side. "The saddest thing in the world is to be mediocre" Rara said.

Rara clasped Edy's hand again. Both ignored the view of the city that drove them home. They turned their heads and looked at each other.

"Rome"

"Edy" Rara answered softly.

"This situation" Edy brought his face closer. "If you follow the tipi-tipi, soon we must kiss continues so" said Edy.

"Aarrrghhh! You ruined the mood," Rara was anxious and pushed Edy to the edge.

"Yeah! We create our own standards. Love is like us!" Rara spoke with an Edy-style voice.

"That's you Tai" Edy agreed.

"Look!" said Rara.

"Tos" Edy offered his hand.

"Toss!" Rara welcomes.

"But that doesn't mean I don't want to yell at you!" Edy clarified. "Not here" he said again.

"Shh Eddd!"

Rara laughed again. A loose laugh that he himself had forgotten when he had last felt these happy things.

Rara really felt it, that it turned out that Edy was not as crazy as people say. Behind all his principles and attitude that looks hard, Edy is a man who is funny, open and wise.he is not scary, he is just intelligent, he is, he is only one who has an attitude of rejecting falsehoods.

...----...

Arriving at Leuwi Long Terminal Bandung

"Bandung" Rara smiled in Edy's arms. Both of them sat at the corner waiting for Pissing and Pejuh came to pick up.

"The place we came and came back. Where we play and go home" Edy said as she repeatedly stroked Rara's head leaning against her chest. "Bandung is something, where God created with the same Mood when he created the Surya Kencana square in Gede Pangrango, Ranu kumbolo in semeru, and Segara Anak in Mount Rinjani, and you"

"Edy ouhh" Rara's own anxiety. He held Edy's hand tighter. "Where have you been since I just found you!"

"Where are you?" reply Edy.

"Loh, I'm in the HMJ sect constantly" Rara raised her head on Edy's backrest.

"I was also in the sanggar"

"I don't know you. You know me, I'm famous. You should have me and happyin me a long time ago" Rara acted presumptuous.

"Ehh. I'm famous too. Who's the college kid who doesn't know me. You should go down to the SME downstairs, come to the sanggar, call me, keep saying 'Edy I Love You'. We can be happy from a long time ago" Edy against Rara's arrogance.

"Have I nyamperin. Who are you?" said Edy again.

"I who?" rara repeated Edy's statement. "I'm the one on every record. I'm the one on your canvas, in your song, in your reconnaissance loophole. I'm the one who's always in you. Hmmm what else is it. Still want to ask me who?" Rara laughs at winning the vanity fight session with Edy.

"Nyerah,Boss. I'm nyerah. I am more than Rara. Edy mah who" Edy humbled mark Rara's words.

"Edy who? Who do I answer Edy?? Rara challenged.

"Edy that...." Rara started her answer. "It is the man who makes Rara, a student with a near-perfect GPA, the chairman of HMJ, the dream woman of SME children, happy and sincere to leave everything for her. For Edy. Edy did it all" said Rara with curled lips.

Keep it that way. Edy and Rara seem to never run out of talking material that they both turn into a little happiness. Two hours had passed from the first time they got off the bus.

Piss and Peaches are coming.

"Rome!!" from a distance pee ran over to Rara. a stern following her behind.

Rara stood up to welcome Piss with both her arms wide open. The crying of both of them broke when the embrace of Piss landed on Rara's body.

"Oii Nyet, naha cicing siga kitu statue" Edy told Pejuh who stood still without daring to approach Edy. "Oh!"

Closer approaching.

"Hampura Edd's. Everything outside of my power.."

"No way, my friend. Procedure yes procedure" Edy cut.

"Mango Ed" Pejuh offered her cheeks for slap. He closed his eyes to it.

Edy pulled Piss and whispered something. After that, a kiss landed on Pejuh's cheek which was still closed waiting for Edy's slap on his cheek. Piss kissed the cheek of his lover who felt very guilty to Edy, for letting Rara follow him to Gede Pangrango.

Pejuh surprised. He opened his eyes. Heart's calm. His eyes welled up when he saw Edy, Rara, and Piss laughing happily.

"Kalem Juh's. When it comes to procedures, I'm much more against procedures. I even thank you very much" said Edy while hugging Pejuh.

"Ente the Dog, Ed. Dogs!" Gummer.

"Dog dog dog!"

"Group!" Pissing hissed, his eyes glared to warn Pejuh while pointing at the situation around.

All eyes in the terminal at that moment were fixed on the four youths. Realizing that, Pejuh showed gesture of apologizing for his irreverence.

"Hampura, Akang, Teteh, Mamang. Old buddy!" said Pejuh while lowering his body and greeting some people around him.

People smiling. Bandung welcomed the return of two humans in his arms. Edy and Rara.
