Princess Cost
16# Back misses the moon
Batra stopped his motorcycle in a crowded park visited by a young couple. Batra takes off her helmet and helps Butet to remove the girl's helmet.
"Why don't we come here Bang?" Ask Butet.
"Yuk come along first." Batra said as he reached out his hand, hoping Butet would welcome and hold his hand.
"Yes." Yeah." Say Butet while ignoring Batra's helping hand.
Batra put his hand in his pants pocket and walked beside Butet.
"What is this place Bang?" Ask Butet again.
"The place to hang out young." Batra. He walked towards a cafe in the park.
The two of them sat facing each other in the cafe. Waiting for the drink they ordered. Batra continued to stare at Butet who was indifferent to him.
"Tet." Call Batra.
"Yes." Yeah." Sahut Butet's.
"Butet has a girlfriend?" Ask Batra.
Butet looked at Batra who looked serious when talking to him.
"Dome. Why is it Bang?"
The drinks they ordered came. Without further ado, Butet drank up to half a glass.
Batra who feels excited because Butet does not have a partner yet, intends to express his feelings to Butet.
"Tet, honestly I like you." Batra.
Butet scrunched his forehead and looked at Batra closely.
Batra is no less handsome than Rozi. Butet had no feelings for Batra.
"I mean Bang?" Ask Butet.
"I love you Tet, I want you and me to be more than just friends." Batra bluntly said.
Butet was silent. He was confused what to say to the man sitting in front of him.
"Try if Rozi says it, I'll take it straight away." Inner Butet.
"Tet, accept yes. Let's try it first." Batra tried to convince Butet.
Butet swallowed his saliva and lowered his gaze. Just this time Butet was unable to speak in front of the man who liked him.
"I'll do what's best for you, I promise. I really like you." Batra said again.
Hearing Batra's words, Butet was increasingly unable to speak.
"I love you Butet." Batra.
Butet's hands trembled when he heard Batra's love speech.
"Don't you give me time to think?" Ask Butet.
Batra was silent at Butet's question.
"Bang, I've never messed around in relationships. I honestly never dated. I think betol couple problem Bang. So for a while we know each other first, Bang. You don't know what my good and bad qualities are, do you, Bang? Than a break up date break up. We better not have a relationship first. If we're a soul mate, we can be together." Say Butet with a chest that feels tight.
Batra nodded trying to understand what Butet's words were.
"But I don't want to give up Tet. I'll prove I'm worthy of you." Batra.
Butet becomes sorry for Batra who seems to love him very much.
"Love you the same time I look?" Ask Butet.
"More than love Tet. If I could marry you, I'd marry you this very second." Batra.
"Omakjangggg.. Bang Batra's time obsession is apparently the same as me." Butet Mumam.
"What do you like about me?" Ask Butet again.
Batra smiled faintly. Then, look into Butet's eyes deeply.
"You're unique, you're thin and you're cool. You are what you are and do not like to pretend. I like you for who you are." Batra.
"But I like your brother....!" Inner Butet.
But, if indeed you want us to live first, know each other, it's okay. I just want you to know. I'm not playing Tet." Batra.
Butet just nodded and finished his drink.
"Bang, it's late, I'm not looking, go home yok." (Red-butt-sleepy) Take Butet.
Batra nodded and finished his drink. He paid for the drink and went home with Butet.
...
Halomoan who was playing guitar in front of the terrace on the boarding house Nyak Komariah, saw Butet who had just returned home with Batra.
Halomoan stopped her guitar line and moved from her seat.
Butet who had seen Halomoan who was sitting on the top terrace was once again glanced at the terrace Kost-an. This time, Butet no longer saw Halomoan there.
Butet who was locking the fence just stared blankly at the terrace above the Halomoan boarding house.
Batra who had just parked his motorbike, approached Butet who was about to move to the pavilion.
"Tet." Call Batra.
"Yes Bang."
Batra grabbed Butet's hands.
"Good night, beautiful dream huh." Said Batra while about to kiss Butet's forehead.
"Thank you Bang." Butet said, then he tried to avoid Batra's kiss and left from the front of Batra.
Everything that happens, Halomoan can see it from behind her Kost-kost window. He was relieved when Butet avoided the kiss from Batra that would land on the girl's forehead.
"Look what you are." Bambang said while patting Halomoan on the shoulder.
Halomoan turned her head back and looked at Bambang.
"Eh, who do you think you are." Halomoan.
"Lu see Butet again?" Bambang asked as he followed Halomoan who again sat on the porch above the Costs.
Halomoan remained silent, not answering Bambang's question.
"Already Moan, if you like the Butet, by the way." Bambang.
Halomoan sighed and looked at Bambang lazily.
"He hates me." Halomoan.
"I'm sure he doesn't hate you. Try to approach it constantly. He's been out for a long time." Bambang.
Halomoan just kept quiet while strumming her guitar.
"Where's good?" Halomoan asked, trying to shift the subject.
"Here's the same street as his scuffles." Bambang Sahut.
"Which son is his scourge?"
"The kid next door." Bambang.
"Take it he is." Halomoan said with envy.
Bambang just smiled and shook his head.
"Mbuh, if Agus has a crush on a girl, it must be made immediately. What are we capable of." Bambang Complaints.
"That's because your face is a bit like Bambangggg..!"
"You are not Moan, as your face is not mediocre." Said Bambang while grumbling.
"I'm handsome, a lot of people like me. My only love is for Butet a." Seloroh Halomoan's.
"Your god!"
Halomoan laughed looking at Bambang's expression that was so annoyed at him.
..
Butet went into his room. Sri and Cempaka were already in their respective rooms. Butet opened his shoes and put them on the shoe rack. Then, he went to the bathroom to wash his feet and face before going to bed.
Sri, who happened to come out of her room and was about to go to the bathroom as well, met Butet in the kitchen, next to the bathroom.
"Tet, it's home."
"Udah."
"Tet, why did Batra take you on the road?" Ask Sri who is curious.
Butet looked at Sri and leaned her body against the kitchen wall.
"He said he liked me. Which cake is this?" Butet.
"Keep, you got Tet?" Sri asked increasingly curious.
Butet just shook his head.
"Are you actually like Batra or Rozi?" Ask Sri.
Butet just kept quiet and lowered his head.
"Or Halomoan?" Seloroh Sri's.
"Hoekkkk!"
Butet pretended to vomit when Sri said the name Halomoan.
Sri also chuckled at Butet's expression.
"I like Bang Rozi. But he likes it with Cempaka." Butet.
Sri was silent and stared fixedly at Butet.
"I can what? After all, it's Bang Rozi's right to like Cempaka. Who am I, only the back misses the moon." Say Butet while moving into the bathroom.
