Return of Romantic Artists

Nearby Distance 2

The clouds tonight look gray, the road I've been through so smoothly without any holes, the light of the lamp is very good to illuminate making beautiful streets that I pass even though there are occasional puffs of smoke from vehicles that crowded this city. I sat down holding Rian's shoulder, because his speeding Vixion made my veil flutter in the wind.

Suddenly the rain drops washed down the entire city including me and Rian who were on the way. Rian then turned his Vixion into an Indomaret SPBU that allowed us to take temporary shelter.

“This is wearing”, Rian said as he dressed his jeans to me, covering his wet arms and back in the rain.

“No need, wear it, cool”.my word while removing the jacket and thrusting it to Rian who at that time only wore short-sleeved shirts.

“Yang wet You who are cold I”, said Rian smilingly insinuating me.

I could not say, I put on the blackish-gray jeans and sat on the slippery terrace of the minimarket while eating the snacks that Rian had bought. While waiting for the rain to subside for about 30 minutes, we just fell silent in the rain.

After the rain stopped, we continued our journey. Vixion Rian walked far enough to explore the slippery and wet streets exposed to rain, until both my eyes were fixed on a colorful GKB script. Now we arrived at an angkringan then ordered snacks and drinks.

“Where?“ Rian opened the conversation.

“What?” my many.

The conversation between us was so stiff, it even made the atmosphere so quiet in the crowd of this park, and suddenly

“Maybe we can be more than just friends”, he said.

My heart was pounding and even my throat felt hard to swallow the spoonful of ice cendol that was inside my mouth.

“Means?” ask me carefully.

“But Rian, I am different from those out there who are much better than me”, I replied humbly.

“But I thought about Afna, I'm fine if later we rarely communicate”, replied Rian while looking at me.

”Are you not afraid, if later I can not hold the principle and maybe I am interested in the same men in pesantren?” I answered trying to persuade him.

“I only have one principle that is believe, although I do not know you later if in the cottage there is a man you have, but I still believe that I you have” he replied reassuring me.

“Give me a while ago Rian”, I asked.

After returning from the park I was only confused to think about the words of Rian earlier, this heart was so worried and afraid of the situation that is now happening. We were both very far away from home and still far away, but this feeling was inevitable. After the meeting, we no longer exchanged news for a few days until the holiday was over.

Drrrt drrrt, immediately I took the phone lying on the green table next to the tv. it turns out BBM came in from Rian

Rian: ”Where?”

Me: “Iya”

I pressed the send button on the BBM column, with a smile of my own, laying down on a soft mattress so happy my feelings for the last 3 years have been reciprocated. My mind flew off imagining the moment of how I felt this feeling for the first time towards you, in the school cafeteria, in the amber, in the teacher's room, at home, and in the park two days ago.

I realized, when viewed from a distance I and Rian very far but at the back sometimes the distance becomes very close, as close as the fingernails with the fingertips. Even though we have separated from each other, distance still reunites us.
