Salto World Wine

Chapter 30: Confession

As expected. It was Ainan who came to his boarding place and now even smiled brightly. Instead of making his name gossip material for all residents of the boarding house because Ainan— the most handsome man in the medical faculty came to him, Wine immediately chose to come out without smiling back at the man.

“Where are you?”

Wine who had intended to walk to the cafe stopped his steps when Ainan instead asked their destination “Ke cafe right?”

“How is my motor?”

“Life. Deket, walk also not up to 10 minutes”

Wine does choose a boarding place that is very close to the campus. At first he wanted to stay in a dormitory provided by the University. But Ocha and Anya who choose to live outside the dorm make Wine also do the same. In the dormitory there are too many rules. Anya who likes to live freely is clearly reluctant to be bound by the rules.

“Why not come? I waited for you in the cafe almost 30 minutes” Ainan equated his steps with Wine steps.

“Males” this very honest short answer.

Not the first time rejected by Wine, Ainan already accustomed to it “After I whisikin rich yesterday also tetep males?”

Wine nodded. He'd love to be able to fly tonight and get to the cafe ahead of him as soon as possible. The sooner it will be the sooner this meeting ends.

“Lo knows it only works 2 times for me. The third time will be lo who miesel”

Arka laughs “ Why is it so hard to be my girlfriend. The others are chasing me. Lo doang very hard”

“Lo also why the hell not the bosen-bosennya ngajakin I dating. I told you I have a boyfriend. So catapult wake up do not dream much”

Wine's steps came to a halt as Ainan blocked his hand. The man was laughing with a slightly frightening look. A look that Wine had never seen before.

“Sok selling very expensive anyway lo. I know you're beautiful. But for a long time I also can not stand if you sell expensive continue so”

Wine pulled his hand to be separated from the hand of Ainan “ Nice dong if long you do not hold the same me. That means you realize, deketin I already have this girlfriend just spend time lo aja”

“Boyfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend. So you don't want to be with me until you make an imaginary girlfriend?”

Wine laughed, his eyes that had previously looked at Ainan now turned to look at his phone that had just appeared a message notification from Arka. pop-up message from Arka that Wine read, Arka, making Wine's eyes immediately narrowed to look at the cafe in front of there, after being sure to find Arka there who was sitting next to the glass. Wine smiled for a moment.

“If I could show my girlfriend to you. What do you want?”

“Gue will release lo”

“Deal”

Wine walked quickly to the cafe. Enter the cafe which was immediately greeted by a wave of Arka's hand. Without thinking long, Wine immediately smiled and walked zig zag as before then wrestled spoiled in the hands of Arka who now looked at him confused. Bang please keep that expression so as not to be found out.

“Help Wine briefly bang” whispered Wine that hoped could be understood the situation by Arka.

At the sight of Arka's movements clapping her hands, Wine was grateful that Arka seemed to know what the man should do now.

But the next second, Wine's body froze instantly as Arka hugged him. Her heart skipped a beat and almost stopped when Arka not only hugged her but kissed her forehead deep and long enough.

Wine blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to wake up and when he regained consciousness, Wine stepped on Arka's feet slowly so that the man would stop his activities. Pushing him was obviously impossible because Ainan was still in front of them.

“Abang kangen very same adek” said Arka who seemed to come from the bottom of the man's deepest heart.

Although his eyes still stared furiously at Arka, Wine pulled his smile “I also miss the same brother. It has been almost 1 year since LDR. Brother's job is done?” wine Perks.

“Udah, that's why you flew here. Watch stuff because”

Uhh. Deepen the role of this once bang Arka.

”Oh yes bang, know this Ainan. Senior I'm on campus. And Ainan is my girlfriend, her name is Arka” Wine introduced Arka to Aian.

Ainan did not talk, just went straight from the cafe without even shaking the hand of Arka who was outstretched with the intention to get acquainted.

After seeing Ainan far enough away and could not see towards the cafe. Wine immediately distanced himself from Arka and sat in his back seat. The heart needs to be set to beat back to normal first. Therefore Arka's mineral water beside the coffee cup directly Wine drink without asking permission first.

“So, brother be your girlfriend again dek”

“Bongan earlier” Wine back to drink and downing it until not restless.

“If your brother really also want”

Wine clucked to hear it. It looks like Arka has indeed changed 360 degrees. This man's confidence level is getting higher.

“Wait, why do you use kiss Wine all? It was just pretending, really badebelin sih” Wine rubbed his forehead as if trying to eliminate the traces of Arka there. Although in his heart, the calmness for 1 year that Wine had never felt, was again felt earlier.

“Yes Allah removed. Let's trust your desk. The proof is generated, you believe earlier”

Wine nodded. Yeah, it's true. That stubborn Ainan would not believe it if Arka hadn't done that. Ainan will continue to doubt Arka if only introduced as a girlfriend without taking any action.

“If agree thank you dong same bang”

Should he say thank you now?.

*But was it Arka who took the opportunity in narrowness?.

Shouldn't the man apologize first*?

Wine clearly felt awkward with all that. Better not to thank at all than to feel strange because it must be grateful for what Arka did just now.

“Oke brother first who apologized for ngelakuin earlier. And my brother also thanks you for not refusing. And thank you also for pretending to be your boyfriend's brother. Any time later could be a real girlfriend again”

Wine parroted for a moment. There was really nothing he could say anymore after hearing Arka's line just now. This guy is really amazing.

“Eating bang. Wine laper”

Wine's forehead shriveled when he saw Arka now even laughed. “Ngapain laughs?”

Arka shook her head “Ngga why-why. Just a long time no one asked to eat same brother”

Ah, Wine just woke up. In fact, his body and mouth are not in line with heart and self-esteem. Wine doesn't even realize they're doing the same thing they did when they were dating.

In the past every time he met Arka, he always said he was hungry and asked to eat. That must be what makes Arka laugh now.

Too comfortable with this guy actually.

***

“Ayo”

“Where are you?” wine asked confusedly.

“Say you want to eat? There's all tarts here. No food”

“Do not rice padang ya”

Arka laughed again. Holding Wine's hand then pulled him out.

Along the way to the steakhouse that Arka saw while heading to the cafe. Wine did not ask Arka to release her hand. This girl was even cool to walk while introducing one by one the shops they passed by.

The arcs that had previously grasped Wine's hands now changed to hook their fingers, making Wine wake up looking at him with narrowed eyes.

“Consider as a gratitude you are the same brother because it has helped you tonight”

“OK”

Wine again walked making Arka smile very wide. One that Arka realized, probably not only Arka who has the same feelings as before, Wine also still has feelings for him.

“This later if caught with brother's girlfriend can be this bad”

“Pacar?” Arka frowning “Abang don't have girlfriend”

“Yang yesterday came to the cinema was brother's girlfriend right? Or even brother's fiancee?”

“Oh the Temen abang”

“Oh.”

“Dek”

“Ya?”

Arka holds Wine's hand so that this girl stops stepping “You want to be brother's girlfriend again. or brother's wife?”

Arka thought she would find Wine's surprised face when asking that question, but in fact Wine now just looked at her flat before finally shaking his head.

“The problem yesterday there will be no way out bang” he said. Release Arka's hand and return to walk first.

“Budhe you already know the profession of brother”

Wine stopped his steps then turned to face him. The expression Arka had imagined before she saw this second. Wine looked at him in shock as if he could not believe what Arka had said just now.

“For 1 year brother tried to convince your budhe and pade. And it finally worked. Brother has also asked for your blessing. Stay from your own dek”

Arka's not lying. Since their relationship ended. Arka who is still very confident that Wine will return to him often goes back and forth to Solo to ask for blessing on the wine budhe and pade.

Rejected the first time? Evidently. When Arka said his original profession, for 1 month full of budhe even did not come out when Arka came to visit. But Arka did not give up until finally managed to convince budhe after almost 10 months of trying. The remaining 2 months, Arka used to ask permission to the commander, and As if God also eases the way, Arka also, Arka was transferred to Halim, and settled in the same town as Wine.

The girl took a few steps closer to “Again meet budhe and ngaku all? When?”

“After we break up”

“What do you do if we just broke up?”

“Because you are sure you will come back again same brother”

“Wine not so hungry bang. Wine is going home. No need to deliver, Wine deket. Assalamualaikum bang”

Arka let Wine walk away from her. Not intending to hold it because Arka also realized that Wine needs time to think while making sure everything is directly to budhe and babanya.
