Salto World Wine

Chapter 32: Fast or Slow?

In fact, what he said and planned before was not as easy to do. Today Wine did not contact Arka at all, staying in the library with a pile of thick books and the existing notes were heralded to 10 for 2 hours in the library.

Wine still had no intention of getting out of his seat. Studying and writing some additional notes for the next semester's courses becomes Wine's mandatory agenda during this holiday. To hell with his feelings, learning and eating well will make him forget all the problems, even if only for a moment.

Therefore Wine intends to continue in this place until the evening before.

“Gue wants to eat, whatever you want to come!” Anya who had persuaded Wine to lunch finally gave up. If there was an Ocha, the girl would definitely withdraw the forced Wine.

“Win let's eat. Later if Ocha dateng continue you have not had lunch. Later you can eat the same Ocha” Anya wiggle the arm of Wine.

“Gue not laper. Go first. Later if I lager I will come out to eat”

“Hello Wine, it's 3 o'clock. Crazy is the stomach not yet laper?!”

“Lo eat first yes. Magh lo relapse later. Sana gih eat first”

“As far as you go. After eating I want to go straight back to the boarding house. Not coming back here again!” Anya returned the book she read to the shelf then came out leaving Wine who was seriously copying the notes.

Last year's routine Wine back did. Maybe because it has done so often, over time it turned into a habit. While studying, his stomach was not hungry at all, Wine only focused his mind on the book he was reading. It is better than thinking about things that are beyond his ability.

After Anya's departure, the girl really didn't return even until the sun began to set in the west direction. Wine is still not moving from its place, the thick book in his hand had been changed with another book whose thickness is not much different. Reading glasses are still perched in the nose, the pen is still between the index finger and thumb and the bottle of drinking water that has not been filled, and the hand that begins to numb because it is used to write all day.

5 Minutes later his body refused to continue doing the same activity. After closing the pen, removing the glasses and stacking 3 books on the table, Wine used them as pillows and spread his head. His eyes that were very tired from reading all day began to close slowly, he needed to rest, Wine was aware of that.

5-10 minutes of sleep may slightly restore lost energy.

“Abang good food tracts want to deck?”

Without opening his eyes, Wine allowed his sitting position to be more comfortable. So that he can sleep for a moment and forget all things related to Arka.

“You haven't eaten dek” tablets

The voice of Arka was heard again. Wine opened his eyes slowly and found Arka sitting next to him with the same vision, his head placed on a pile of books.

How great was the effect of meeting Arka until the man appeared in his dream?. For the past 3 months Wine no longer dreamed of the man, then why did the man come back into his dreams?.

Wine closed his eyes again, he must have started dreaming by now. The head that previously faced the shelf now turned to face the wall. Perhaps by changing positions, the man will disappear from his dream. Let him sleep for 5 minutes.

“Magh you can also relapse dek”

Wine closed one of his ears with his hands.If this is a dream why does the man's voice sound so clear and close?, Wine just spread his head, does it make sense that he had fallen asleep and dreamed?.

“Dek”

Wine's eyes opened for a moment. It's definitely not a dream. His head gradually turned to the other side and when his eyes caught Arka's figure in real, Wine immediately returned to his original position, laying his head against the wall and closing his eyes tightly. Pretending to sleep even though Arka had clearly seen it just now.

“You wake up and we eat or your big brother deck?”

Pretending not to listen. Don't listen, don't listen, don't cry Win.

“Abang count to 3 ya dek”

Wine bit his lower lip irritated. It is not necessary to say who told his whereabouts to Arka. It was clear Anya did it. Usually it was Ocha who would pull him out, and now Anya called Arka to have this man pull himself out of the library.

“1”

Wine breathed.

“2”

Can't Arka believe that she's sleeping and out of here now?.

“3”

Without looking at Arka, Wine tidied up all the books and returned them to their respective shelves then walked out of the library without saying anything. Wine sure, Arka who tailed behind him must be smiling triumphantly.

“That's a car abang”

When he saw the flashing car lights parked right in front of the library, Wine immediately entered the car followed by Arka who was now sitting in the steering wheel.

“What do you eat?”

“Terexistent”

Whatever. He just needs to sit down, eat quickly and go back to the hostel.

“Terajah ya. Don't complain later”

The car they were riding in began to run across the streets of the capital that was always crowded as usual. Without saying anything else about yesterday, Wine kept staring out the window, not glancing at Arka at all, despite knowing the man kept glancing at her and talking to her.

Wine doesn't care. The feeling yesterday may appear because of guilt in Arka, but Wine believes gradually the feeling will also disappear by itself. It just takes time.

Dahi Wine shriveled in confusion when Arka's car now turned and began to enter the basement of an elite apartment located not far from one of the large malls in the Jakarta area. without even asking, Wine knew who lived in this apartment building. Carcass. The man brought himself to visit

where he lives.

“Puter behind bang his car. We ate out”

“You said it was up to you, right?”

“Ya is up. But that doesn't mean eating in your brother's apartment, does it?”

“Who wants to make sure you eat in your brother's apartment?”

Finally, Wine turned also towards Arka “ Keep this?”

Arka smiled when she saw Wine turned her head also towards him “ Brother wanted to take the report that was left behind. You later want to go straight back to squadron”

“Ngapain? Work no time benget idih. It's time to rest”

“This brother is again resting. More fill energ”

Wine did not understand the meaning of Arka's speech just “ Means?”

“Yet you make your energy brother keisi again”

Wait, anybody got a super big fork? If anything, Wine borrowed it to scratch the handsome face of Arka who said it without any burden at all.

If only Wine knew the area in this area, Wine had obviously been gone since getting out of the car instead of following Arka to the man's apartment unit.

Two different expressions from the two people waiting in front of the elevator would definitely make anyone who saw it feel confused. Wine bent his face as he pleased, while Arka smiled brightly as if she had just received a super luxurious gift.

“Oh yes brother forgot, there is something left in the car. Brother take first yes. brother unit on the 11th floor number 012 password birthday you” said Arka then immediately walk towards the parking lot leaving Wine which is now only silent because of surprise because of a password.

To what extent is Arka trying to get back close to him?.

And to what extent was he trying to get away from Arka?.

Either Arka is moving fast or she is walking too slow?.
