Title: There is Love in Ampera

_________________________

Early this day, there are still vehicles passing by on the road towards Jakabaring. This breeze of AC made my rom hair stand up. It's exactly two o'clock, these really heavy eyes I can't close. I just finished translating a book and editing a school magazine. My roommate was also asleep. It's just me and the voices of those vehicles that are left. Ampera is beautiful at night. The Musi River below reflects light from Ampera, feeling like flickering water.

If you do not remember tomorrow I have to go to college, if you do not remember tomorrow there is a presentation, if you do not remember tomorrow there are still many activities that I went through, if you do not remember tomorrow, tonight I will not sleep. I wanted to use my eyes to see the scene of the early morning that was still pitch black. Seeing the early morning darkness that looks bright because of the light of the lamp. Beautiful indeed, it looks like a star and a firefly. But I have to sleep. Nine o'clock should already be in place of the presentation. In front of the teacher!

A cold blow of AC makes the blanket pull higher. My mind feels like it's flying somewhere. Until it seemed like I heard the ringing of an alarm and a slight rustle that suddenly snapped.

'Nda, wakeup. I know in the morning!' that exclamation. Spontaneously I sat down.

'Oh, my God, how brazen you are. Hanger for a long time!' my sahut is no less exciting.

I immediately grabbed my light blue towel. Today I was bad luck, I should have gotten up at 5. It's been two hours. No morning prayers, no time to wash clothes. I just focus on my presentation materials. One by one the things I'm gonna carry I put in a backpack. It already contains laptops, flash, books and magazines that I just finished editing.

'Yes, please please! loe tu why the hell? can you slow down? my eyes are julingan, nih ngeliatin loe only!' said Desti, my roommate who, well can be said to be chatty.

'Yes, don't look at geh, it's hard!' my mouth didn't lose the fuss either.

Things become quiet.

'Design, where are my shoes?' I broke the silence.

'Yee.. Where do I know! loe 'who has, my same question period' replied Desti sewot.

'Eat him, loe kalo naro' goods do not origin. Well, I'm taro' at the bottom of the closet. Loe naro'nya in front of the room door. Later if taken by the loe people who are drunk' explained Nila, who is more attentive to me. He is like my own brother.

'Hee. I forgot the naro. Thank you, La' I replied grimacing and sliding straight outside.

'Huu, greetings first, Nda. Just go straight!' desti said what I still hear. Then I'm afraid, 'Tell! the important thing is that you know I'm leaving!'

I started to step again. This heavy enough bag made my shoulders ache a little, not to mention the proposal scroll on my right hand. Maybe because I was too focused on seeing a public transport, also because I walked quickly and did not pay too much attention to my surroundings. Suddenly,

Braaakk!!

I bumped into a man, until my proposal sheet was scattered on the side of the road. 'OMG! my proposal!' myrag. 'Well, crazy loe. Take a look at dong! maen hit aja. Tu look! my proposal's all run away. Where do I want another presentation. Wow, fucked up. The responsibility loe!' add me again with a peaking tone.

'Waduh, waduh. Ma'am, I am also in a hurry here. This, there must also be a meeting with the client. Sorry, ma'am. I can only help take the sheet of Mbak's paper that is still' he said gently and a calm face even though he was in a hurry. He bowed before me, picking up my proposal.

'Haaa.. ni a really nice guy yeah, cute again' I thought.

The man was still picking up the paper strewn beneath me. I just looked at him until I didn't blink. He was handsome, from his face he looked intelligent and his carriage was calm. His speech was smooth, once again he was handsome! Hemm, it really melts my heart.

'Mas, Mas. don't have to be taken away. I still have the software. Sorry, I didn't intentionally. For the first time I called myself 'me' to someone I didn't know. What's more, he's a young man. But this one is completely different.

'Oh, yeah, that's it then. Sorry, Ma'am. Excuse me first, he said again. I just returned with a smile. Feeling unsatisfied to see it, I turned my head. His path was steady and his posture was high. 'Perfect!' compliments for him.

Tiinn, tin…!!!

'Mbak, dong street quarry!' complained one of the drivers.

'Geez!!' I said while patting my own forehead.

The sound of the car horn and the call of the Pajero Sport driver surprised me. Apparently from earlier the car horn was screaming, but I just realized. Huft, because of the men I don't know, I became like this. It is easy for love to lull someone. Many people are crazy for love. I don't know why I felt I was in love with that man. I just saw it. I don't even know his name. But if it's a soul mate, I'll meet him again here on the Ampera Bridge. The bridge of love I once walked.
