Single-minded

Fariz Maher Atmaja's

The sun begins to pop its head in the eastern horizon. Exactly at half-six in the morning, Rinjani packed provisions and small tenteng bags for an excursion.

“Buk, Rinjani departs first yes.” The pump, kissing his mother's hand is full of reverence.

“Yes, be careful ya nduk”

Grojogan sewu, became the place where Rinjani headed with Riwan his little friend for an excursion. Its beautiful charm, trees and mountain ranges, as if spoiling the eyes of the beholder. Approximately, there are 1000 steps that must be taken to go down the waterfall. Along the way, many wild apes came to us. Surprisingly, despite being wild, the apes have nothing to attack or hurt visitors.

“Mas, we'll take one home later, yes?”

“Hus, can't deck. Later kuwalat, if it can be taken home, it has not bought all the chairs deck.”

“Times anyway, Mas?”

“Try. But if there's anything. Mas ndak tangung jutansi, you know.”

Rinjani. His steps grumbled down the stairs.

Rivjk ...

“Aduh ...,” Rinjani tarps.

Pplok ...

Apparently, Rinjani's shoes bounced on Mas Riwan's head.

“Duh ..., be careful dong dek.” He rubbed his head against his shoes.

“Dek, will you be my lover?”

his knees were firmly grasping Rinjani's tiny hands. Who is not stunned by the look of his father, yellow skin, sharp nose and thick eyebrows with round eyes in addition to lentic eyelashes add to the beauty of his face. It's just, his behavior is always reckless.

For a moment, Rinjani did not budge. His mind seems to be raging. He cannot control his feelings. Heart rumbles on the verge of worry.

'Is it possible that Mas Riwan loves me sincerely, like my love for him? if it could be said, maybe I love him so much but, why does the shadow of the mysterious man always come? uh, pissed.'

“Dek, why stay quiet? Don't you love me?” continued.

“Sorry mas, I can't.” Rinjani replied with teary eyes. His heart was still very confused, between loving Riwan or the cold-hearted man the other day.

At the same time the two were pensive, struggling in their respective circles. Then, Riwan looked into Rinjani's eyes sharply, his eyes holding a thousand questions. Rinjani's answer does not necessarily extinguish the embers of his love.

“I'm used to it, consider you a friend as well as a sister. I don't want to be later, abandoned after you're tired of dating. I just want to stand beside you, without having to involve feelings that are difficult to understand by reason. Can we laugh like we do now? I've known you since I was a kid. Besides the singers, you'd rather set-up. I was too scared, imagining all the possibilities. I don't.mau to losenu.” Rinjani replied with a bow.

“Thank you face deck. I won't be angry. Even if you reject me, I'm sincere. I understand your feelings. Precisely because I don't want to lose you, I want to lead you with me. It's been 15 years that we've been friends, and since then I've started to admire you. I promise, I won't force you, but remember, I won't give up. I'll try to get your heart.” Answer smiled.

“But mas ..” has not finished answering. Her lips were locked, when Riwan's finger gave the code to remain still.

“Witing tresno jalaran soko kulino” whispered Riwan meaningfully, making Rinjani blush. His face flushed red, his chest rustled violently.

Mas Riwan, without you saying anyway, deep inside my heart already has your name.Before the sun shines at that time also your shadow always haunts. Shaking hearts and shaking hearts.
