You know the most potent remedy of all the bad feelings that envelop the heart? It is meeting a loved one, who can bring calm.
The smile on Nilam's lips never faded, continuing to expand creating a red hue on his cheek. Though a moment ago, a sense of annoyance still enveloped his heart.
"Well shower?" baskara asked, as the two of them sat down to enjoy the warm tea Nilam had made.
Nilam.
"Do you want to take a walk?" ask the bus again.
"Where is mas?"
"Find the wind, both."
Nilam glanced at the clock from his phone screen. Not too late, they could spend a lot of time together today.
"Wait for Manda to take a shower, will you?"
"Long time, baby, you call from here on." suggested Bas.
Nilam was silent for a while, before agreeing with his lover's advice.
"Yes, mas. Then I change clothes first. Wait outside, yeah,"
"Can't it be here?" The bus rolled down his eyebrows, teasing Nilam.
"Maaas," Nilam stomped his feet, like an upset child.
Baskara laughed, then ruffled Nilam's hair affectionately.
"Yes, I'm waiting outside ya." The bus then exited the room, waiting for her lover on the front porch.
Nilam smiling. Then with the spirit of choosing clothes instead.
"Where are you going?" Amanda, who just came out of the bathroom, was surprised because on the mattress was stacked some clothes belonging to Nilam.
"You go along Mas Bas" said Nilam still busy removing clothes and matching them in front of the mirror.
"Keelin continue all until tomorrow, not so you are invited out with Baskara." commented Amanda, stopping the movement of Nilam's hand.
"Now, what the hell, Nda?"
"Yes emang. Now I ask, how many minutes did he wait for you outside? Time for you to wear your clothes. Really, really, put out all the closet contents." Amanda said.
He wondered why Nilam could be this thick now? Whereas in the past when with Pandu, Nilam looks graceful and calm. Even Nilam like very self-preserving, in order to always look perfect in the eyes of his lover. But, never Amanda saw Nilam as enthusiastic as this when going out with Pandu first.
After getting insinuations from his best friend, Nilam became aware that he had been excessive. Perhaps it was because of his rollercoaster-like mood, that he could not control his feelings.
Meeting with Pandu who made him angry, upset, and feel guilty about Bas, then suddenly Bas appeared to hit all that and bring excessive happiness to him.
So without realizing it, he wants to give the best for his current lover.
"So yourself, Lam. As usual you. Baskara likes you for who you are." advises Amanda, pick up a white top and 7/8 soft jeans.
"No need to think fashionable what, which is important you are comfortable wearing this right?" ask the woman again.
Nilam nodded, then put on the clothes that his best friend had chosen.
"Snap, pity he's waiting for you. This will let me settle later." said Amanda.
"Please Manda," Nilam hugged his best friend tightly. Who is not grateful to have a friend who although his mouth is spicy that makes the chest hot like pepper powder, but good heart and sincere.
Nilam opened the boarding door, then called Baskara who was cool to enjoy the puff of smoke from the cigarette he smoked.
"Bag,"
Bas turned his head, looking at his lover from top to bottom.
"Beautiful," he muttered with a reverent look. He approached Nilam, who was blushing.
I don't know. Though they had known each other for a long time, but this foreign feeling controlled the girl to silence her logic. Nilam has never been like this before.
Could it be that he is at the height of passionate love? Want to tell the world if he is happy, with people who love and care for him sincerely?
