14# The expression of love from Rozi



This afternoon Cempaka was getting ready to go home from the campus. He tidied up his books and put them in his bag.


There is actually one more class. But, because his lecturer was not in Jakarta, he got a task that he had to work on immediately. And Cempaka chose to do it at home. Because today the girl did not bring a laptop to her campus.


Cempaka took his foot off campus. And waiting for the angkot in front of his campus stop. Suddenly a motorcycle stopped in front of him. Cempaka knew right away that it was Rozi.


"A' Rozi?"


Rozi opened the glass of his helmet and smiled at Cempaka.


"Cempaka, hunt up. The helmet. I want to talk." Rozi.


"Speak what A'?" Ask Cempaka.


"Okay, let's have lunch." Rozi.


Cempaka looked around. Then, he nodded doubtfully.


Cempaka received the helmet Rozi gave him. Then, he put on the helmet and climbed onto Rozi's motorcycle.


"A'a not working?" Ask Cempaka.


"I'm off today. Instead of getting bored at home, I messed around to your campus Cem." Rozi said as he prepared to run his motorcycle.


"Oh so." Cempaka Gumam.


Rozi launched his motorcycle in the heat of the sun in the city of Jakarta that afternoon. The man looked very excited as Cempaka climbed on top of his motorbike.


Rozi drove his motorcycle at moderate speed. Until the motorcycle sport was, pulled over at one of the cafes of young people who were hitz-hitz in Jakarta.


"Let's go down, we'll eat here." Said Rozi while taking off his helmet.


With hesitation, Cempaka got off Rozi's motorcycle and took off his helmet.


Cempaka's hair looked messy from wearing a helmet. Rozi who saw the hair of his dream woman was a mess, quickly immediately tried to tidy up Cempaka's hair.


Cempaka was speechless and clumsy with Rozi's treatment. Then, Rozi grabbed Cempaka's hand and led her into the cafe.


Cempaka was still confused by Rozi's treatment of him. Even though his heart flowered because of the man's treatment, he still felt confused. Because Rozi treated himself like a lover to Rozi.


Rozi and Cempaka sat in the corner of the cafe, with a view of the highway that looks smooth this afternoon.


After ordering some menus for lunch and drinks, Rozi looked at Cempaka who looked wrong.


"What's the A'? A'a said what to say?" Ask Cempaka.


Rozi smiled and continued to look at the 19-year-old girl.


"Do you have a lover?" Ask Rozi.


Cempaka smiled doubtfully and shook his head.


"Yet?" Ask Rozi again.


Cempaka shook his head again.


"Why A'a?" Ask Cempaka.


"I. hmmm..."


"Excuse me for the drinks." Said a waiter who delivered drinks orders Rozi and Cempaka.


"Oh yes." Rozi said as he pulled away the tissue box on the table.


After the waiter left, Rozi looked back at Cempaka who looked groggy to him.


"Where was it?" Ask Rozi.


"What's A'?" Ask Cempaka.


Rozi scratched his non-itchy head, then invited Cempaka to drink a glass of orange juice ordered by the girl.


Cempaka grabbed her juice glass and drank the orange juice for a few sips. Then he looked back at Rozi.


"Cempaka, i...."


"Yes?" Ask Cempaka.


"Excuse me. His order." Said the waiter who delivered Rozi and Cempaka's orders.


"Ah yes." Rozi said as he shifted his glass.


"So I..."


"All his orders are yes, ma'am." Said the waiter.


"Yes." Yeah." Said Rozi while scratching his head again.


Then the waiter left them both.


"So. i.."


"A'a I ate first huh. Laper me a'." Cempaka.


"Ah, yes. Please." Rozi.


"Duh, you want to say how hard it is to ask for forgiveness. Oh, that's it, later." Inner Rozi.


After eating, Rozi got ready to express his feelings to Cempaka. However, the girl got up from her seat and asked permission to go to the toilet.


Again Rozi undoes his intention to express his feelings.


"Yes, it's so complicated." Said Rozi while patting his forehead, quietly.


A few minutes later, Cempaka came and apologized to Rozi for her toilet lining up. The excited looking Rozi quickly nodded and looked back at Cempaka who still looked awkwardly with her.


"Guild...."


"A', where did A'a go to college?" Cut Cempaka.


Rozi swallowed his saliva and blinked his eyes.


"Ngggg. I went to college at UI." Rozi.


"Keren A'a mah." Speak with excitement.


"Take what major A'?" Ask Cempaka again.


"Civil engineering." Rozi.


"Oh so."


Cempaka nodded in understanding.


"Guild..."


"A'..."


Then they looked at each other, then each smiled in shame.


"You go first." Rozi.


"A'a's the first one." Cempaka.


"Just you."


"It's just me."


Then silence.


"Yes I've been first." Rozi.


Cempaka fell silent and lowered his gaze.


"You got a lover?" Ask Rozi.


Cempaka looked at Rozi and shook his head.


"You want to be my lover?" Rozi asked who was visibly sweating while expressing feelings to Cempaka.


Cempaka fell silent and again lowered his gaze.


"I like you too Cem." Rozi said bluntly.


Cempaka squeezed the end of his shirt. She is afraid to accept Rozi's love. Not because he doesn't like Rozi. However, he prefers to keep the feeling of Butet who also loves Rozi.


"How's Cem?" Rozi asked who waited for a few minutes, an answer from Cempaka.


"A'. I..." Cempaka looks confused about what to answer.


"You don't like me?" Ask Rozi.


"A'.. We better be friends, A'." Cempaka.


Rozi fell silent and lowered his face.


Rozi did not think that he would get a rejection from Cempaka. All this time the girl showed that the girl had the same feelings as herself.


"Give me a chance Cem." Rozi.


"A'a.. I want to focus on college first." Cempaka.


Rozi sighed and nodded slowly.


"If the soul mate is not going anywhere A'." Connect Cempaka again.


Rozi smiled and nodded in understanding.


"If A'a's soul mate is not me, I do'a kan A'a get the best mate ya A'." Cempaka.


Heartbroken, that's what Rozi felt. However, he could not impose his will on the girl he loved.


To love does not mean to have. Rozi is well aware of who he is. Girls as beautiful as Cempaka may be many who approach. And Cempaka has the right to choose a man who is worthy of himself.


Stoicly, Rozi smiled and looked at the injured-looking Cempaka.


"I'm sure you're my soul mate, hopefully." Rozi.


Cempaka held back her tears by trying to smile at Rozi.


They too, decided to go home. All the way home, the two of them were silent without a word.
