Hengky was stunned to see me walking towards the car. He hurried out and opened the door for me.
While rubbing his head he smiled, “Where is this? I'm not confident that you're this beautiful.”.
I'm smiling, “You like it?”
“Banget! You know I really like to see you wearing Gown”
“Because I know why I wear this for you..”
“Aduh my heartuu...!” Hengky held onto his left chest while pretending to grimace in pain.
I laughed as I pinched her cheek, “Where are we going this malem?”
“Mm... Where do you want to go? Uh, don't tell me it's up to me..”
“Sapphire Restaurant?”
“Okey! We are...!”
Hengky stepped on the gas pedal while whistling merrily.
His mouth was not stopping to tell him about many things. About the road there was a mother who fell from the motorbike, or a busker who touched her heart or about a friend she met on the road.
He likes to tell a lot of things. But not about his family, not about his wealth, not about him. Very contrary to Andy, his Cousin Brother.
Because he told me so little about himself, I didn't know who he was.
Even when I asked her about her home address, she just smiled and teased me, asking if I would send flowers to her house.
When we got to the restaurant, he kept me from coming out. Half-running he walked towards me, opened the car door, then grabbed my hand.
He treated me like a princess.
Oh my God, seeing him this happy, how can I say that without hurting his heart?
After entering and ordering some drinks and food, Hengky propped up his cheeks with his hands, then looked at me without blinking.
“You are so beautiful this malem, dear..”.
“Ooh...so..”.
“Always. You're sidelines cantiikk. I mean, you look more beautiful tonight.” Hengky cut my sentence. He had memorized out of his head how my sentence continued.
I laughed softly.
“Oh yes, said anyone want you to talk? About what?”
“We eat first...” I replied gently.
“Aahh... By the way now aja siii..”.
“Later ajaa... Tuh, our food has come..”,
My eyes led him to look towards the Restaurant clerk who delivered our order.
“Mba, can you ask please photoin gak?”
Hengky gnashed his forehead, “Eh, tumben, Darling?”
“Make mementos” I replied while trying to smile.
Despite feeling a little strange, Hengky stood up and walked towards me, positioning himself next to me.
“Yok, ready yaa... 1...2...3...!”
Camera shots are barely audible. Like the screams of my heart right now. I screamed loudly in my heart but my lips kept smiling.
Trying to be ordinary when responding to Hengky's story.
He laughs when he laughs, smiles when he praises me, or exchanges food, feuding over whose food is more delicious.
My heart still could not be ready even until our food ran out.
Until he asked repeatedly, I always replied, ‘nanti’.
...--------------------------------------------------------...
When we got back in the car, when there was no more chance of me delaying.
I began to bravely face him, preparing my heart to accept whatever the response was.
Hengky was already behind the steering wheel, preparing to step on the gas pedal, as I held his hand, holding him back from running the car now.
“Iya? Why, Honey?”
“I... I want to say something..”.
“I... I want to break up with you..”.
Like being struck by lightning during the day. Hengky looked so surprised that he turned his head back. He slightly tilted his head, trying to digest my sentence.
I'm getting the wrong way.
I don't even have a reason why our relationship should end. More precisely, I couldn't possibly tell her the real reason.
“Okey... Waita... Ah, i..” Hengky stammered, he was confused what to say.
Before long, he was seen sighing, trying to act calm. His gaze continued towards my eyes, trying to look at what my reason was.
He tried to smile while stroking my face,
“Naya... why? Did I treat you badly?” Ask very gently.
I shook weakly.
“Then why? Love me a reason..”
I bit my lips hard, holding back the mist in my eyes from turning into tears.
Ah, my chest feels so tight.
“Naya...” Hengky squeezed out my hand, forcing me to talk.
I took a deep breath and then I exhaled slowly, I repeated it three times, until I felt my feelings calm down.
“I'm not the woman you're looking for, Ky. I'm not who you think I am either. I'm not pantes for you..”
“You are so worthy of me, Naya. I couldn't have chased you for nearly three years if you weren't that valuable.”.
“That's the problem. That's what makes me depressed. I can't, I can't live up to your expectations about me..”.
Hengky looked at me as if in disbelief.
He shook his head several times to not accept my words.
“If that's your only excuse, I'm sorry, I can't let go of you, Naya..”.
Defense jebol. My tears are pouring out over my cheeks.
Hengky who usually stroked my shoulders or hugged me, now just silent to see me.
“I think our conversation at this time never happened. Don't ever say anything silly like this again, Naya. I don't like it! Our relationship is not messing”
As he returned to prepare to run his car, I took a breath while closing my eyes,
“I'm not a virgin anymore, Hengky!”
The car that had just been on the road suddenly stopped. He stepped on the brake pedal suddenly and turned to look at me, his eyes looking at me in disbelief,
“Don't mess with my emotions, Naya! Don't look for unreasonable reasons just to make me let you go!”
“I.. gak...main...main....” my sentence stammered. I couldn't even look him in the eye, see his reaction.
“See me!” Hengky pulled my face so I could look into his eyes,
“Say that you were joking!”
I'm speechless. My cries are getting louder, “Sorry... Sorry me..”
Hengky widened his eyes in disbelief. He laughed out loud. Laughter full of anger. He hit the steering wheel repeatedly while swearing.
“Who?! Tell me who's ngakuin this same you!!”
I'm getting bowed. Can't say anything anymore.
“Andy?!!”
Seeing me not denying her question made her more emotional.
He stepped on the accelerator pedal and ran his car very fast.
I who kept shouting asked him to lower the speed was not heeded.
He continued to step on the gas pedal deeper. His eyes continued to look forward without looking at me.
“See what you've done, Naya! You are driving me crazy!!”
And when I saw that the path he was taking wasn't in my Kosan direction, I panicked more and more and more to ask him about our goal.
He did not answer.
His feet continued to step on the gas pedal even deeper, making the car go very fast.
