Sendu Sweetener
PS 12 - Roads to Dufan
Ghifari really took me to Dufan. Unfortunately we forget one thing; we are too early. And Dufan hasn't opened yet. I looked around. Observing the parking lot that instantly made me realize. We were the only couple that came. Oh, my God, did I say couple just now?
"The rajin amet si, Neng, came to Dufan early in the morning" said Ghifari, I knew he was teasing me.
"Lha, I don't think I've ever been to Dufan. If you are. uh wait. Maybe this is your first time here too? Aye right? Aye right? Ngakuu!" I said I don't want to lose.
"Enak aja lo. I just didn't see the clock" Ghifari said.
"Ngeles mulu lo kayak bajaj." I said.
"Lou tuh noisier sound like bajaj" he said.
"My voice is sweet" I said, not accepting.
"Merdu if diem." he replied cuek.
"Males I argue with you. I just sleep. I'll open my door later." I said, covering my face with a cardigan.
"awake. Open it up" he said.
He woke me up again when I closed my eyes. I don't know Dufan's opening hours so I guess it's still a long time.
"Lo ngeselin." I said.
He just chuckles at the angry me. I want to tell her head right now to see that shitty laugh.
After buying the ticket, we went inside. My eyes were really very happy to see Dufan from within and in person. Let's say I'm tacky but I was really excited today.
"Ghif, let's spit it out!" myrag.
Ghifari chuckled at me. Foolish with his important chuckle I'm happy today.
"Casual time. People just opened up too" Ghifari said.
"Gue wants to ride Hysteria, Ghif.. Ayoo.." I said.
I often hear people say Hyteria's name. However, I have never seen it in person.
"Don't you try that first?" ask Ghifari.
"Mau Hysteria." I said.
"Don't be spoiled like that girl." Ghifari said. Then walk ahead of me.
"Ghifari, I'm a real girl yak!" I cried while chasing him.
I was really upset with Ghifari, his legs were so long. I who only have short legs must run after the fast road.
"Why doubt it?" ask Ghifari.
I was about to pinch Ghifari's head but Ghifari quickly twitched, until finally I could only pinch the air.
"That's a hell of a bummer!" I shouted furiously at Ghifari's behavior.
I stopped my steps and crossed my arms around my chest and threw my face away.
Ghifari laughed with satisfaction at the annoyed me.
"I didn't frown" Ghifari said, pointing to a vehicle that read Hysteria with her chin.
"Eh, yes, this is not a frown. Come on, look good, ride it up." I said while grinning the horse.
"Candy Branch?" tanyakanya. A smile from Ghifari.
I can only laugh in my heart. I'm sure he now thinks that I really call him handsome. Though that name.. Ah, never mind, it seems like kayaks don't know that term. I can only laugh evil in my heart.
"Yes, Good-looking Babang." I said as I pulled down his eyebrows.
"The Handsome Branch? Babang Handsome?" ghifari asked as she walked towards me.
"Yes, Babang Handsome. Babang Ganteng.. handsome handsome really anyway." I said.
I don't want to back off. I began to wonder if Ghifari knew what I meant by my words. I'm just kidding really. My friends do that.
Looking at the grin from Ghifari's face I knew that he understood what I meant.
"Let's!" I shouted while running.
"Ara, don't run away!" shout Ghifari.
"Ngapain is chasing me. My people call you Babang Ganteng too." I said as I ran.
Fortunately this time Dufan was quiet when it was crowded, I was sure that the two of us would be the center of attention.
"Gue knows what it means." he said.
Ah, goddamn. Why does he have to know what it means! - my inner self.
BUGS!
"Yeah!" I cried when my body was dazed, about to fall.
Someone suddenly caught my body. Just like the scenes in the soap operas I've seen.
Ghifari set me up. Ah, I must be crazy. I mean help me stand up.
"Basar bocil" he said, shuffling my hair.
"H, my hair is a mess!" I said.
Ghifari. "Yes together" he said.
I bit my lips for a while and weighed whether I should say thank you or not. You see, I'm ashamed.
"Thank you." I said and walked away.
"Am I not horrified?" shitty shouts.
"There is no repetition!" I called out back.
After the drama, Ghifari and I boarded Hysteria. This is my first experience I will never forget.
I was so brave when I went up, but when I was pulled up and knocked down I was very scared. My stomach is really nauseous.
Until finally after descending, I immediately became nauseous and spit out my breakfast this morning.
...***...
After being engrossed in playing and forcing Ghifari to ride the ring lala finally came home. Time showed the afternoon.
On the street I was anxiously thinking of my mother who was alone. My fault. Ghifari had persuaded me many times to go home but stubbornly I did not listen to him.
I'm really sorry now. I was too happy and excited when I tasted Dufan rides that were very adrenaline-pumping. Today is my first day in Dufan. Whether because of tacky or because I know I can't visit him anymore I feel lost and don't want to go home like a child. I'm really sorry for everything.
It was late afternoon and we are still here. On the street full of vehicles yelling at each other through their horns. The hours of returning home from work are indeed horror for anyone, see now the streets are crowded by vehicles that can not wait to get home.
"Where is this?" muttered.
"So, pray that Mama will be all right" he said.
He did not scold me clearly but from the look on his face, he was punishing me. His face looked cold he seemed to say that this was all my fault so I was the one who had to endure it all.
I could only pout to find his gaze.
At exactly 19:00 WIB I arrived in front of my house. I got out of the car and ran into the house. My gut feeling is really bad.
"Mama!" my yelling.
I saw my mother lying unconscious on the floor.
"Ma! Wake Ma!" I said. Keep patting my mother's cheek.
My tears are flowing now. I'm really stupid. I'm really sorry about everything that happened. If only I would follow what rich Ghifari is. This will all never happen.
"Aante!" exclamation Ghifari.
Ghifari came in a hurry. Looking at my mother, he immediately took my mother into the car. I sat next to my mother.
I ran after him. Then, deftly he took the car we were riding to the hospital. Even in the hospital he was still deft to take care of my mother's needs so that my mother could be handled quickly.
