Honest

"Where, Tik? Hasn't the location been out yet?" Ask Anara who just got to the cost.

"Yet, An." Hartik is still busy staring at the laptop screen.

"May one location!"

Towards the end of the sixth semester, Anara and Hartik were preoccupied by the submission of the KKN (Real Work Lecture) form. Both chose to register for Thematic KKN to plunge into the village in the Batu or Pujon area. Just waiting for the division of the village from the campus.

"Oh yes time. One month together with Jalanin proker with other students majors." Hartik.

"Eh, this is out, An." Their eyes sparkled on the laptop screen looking for their name.

"This is your name, right? One place our dong, Tik."

"Yes, a little while in Desaaa ... Junrejo, Anj. There's an announcement as well, tomorrow we all gather in the hall of the 10th floor."

"When is this done? After the holiday, right?"

"It looks like it is. It's still August."

"Yes already. I'll go to the room first." Getting an okay signal from Hartik, Anara waltzed out and climbed the stairs.

...----------------...

Krieg ...

"Hello ...." Candra's voice echoed.

"KKN location I'm out, Ndra." Anara from across.

"Where's the KKN?"

Candra continues the conversation with Anara accompanied by a reference book in the living room. In the past two weeks, the room had turned into an impromptu library. Sometimes it's a room if Candra falls asleep there.

That guy wasn't playing. Sometimes even upset Anara herself. It's been two weeks since there's been no dating like before, and the one in the library helps Candra find references. Otherwise, they would go to the bookstore together. Compared to 360° from the true identity of Candra.

The sound of shoes entering the house nuanced nude it. His steps stopped right in front of Candra. I can guess who was standing in front of him.

"Gue ACC dooong exam." While showing off the file in his hand that has been laced with ACC signature.

"Not surprised." Candra flat.

"No congratulations?" Ask Bryan.

"For lizard."

"Thank you thank you."

"Eh, Ndra. Ntar afternoon Caroline makes me walk." Bryan landed his body on the couch.

"Continue?"

"Gue is really bad." Candra.

"Lu really has no intention of doing it. Not that I used to be really want you to keep a girl?" Bryan shook his head.

"Help dong!"

"What's? Poor old boy you PHP-in." Gulp Candra.

"You helped me get away from him."

"Bryan you really are. All girls lu giniin. Ntar really your quality."

I'm even fine, bro.

"What's his lack?"

"So he's too good and nothing less. I'm being insecure."

"Sad. Your cliche is so."

"Yes already. Helpin!"

"No."

Eventually, Candra refused Bryan's request. He suggested that Bryan talk directly to Caroline if she wanted to end the relationship that had not even begun. His best friend is outrageous.

When the sun moves west. Bryan painstakingly built up the mood, rushing to pick up his bluff that wasn't even in his heart at all. These lizards are men.

The woman with such hair looks more charming with a knee-length dress with a belt on her waist. The smile from his thin lips became a point more. But, unfortunately it was not enough to thrill Bryan. The man tried to put on his face as often as possible.

"Wear skirt?" Ask Bryan.

Any man knows there are mini dress, maxy dress, midi dress, long dress, and all macem dress. All they understand is skirts.

"Why, Yan? No pantes, right?"

"Not .. It's not so. But we're going on a bike, Lin."

"Yes already. I'll change my clothes first."

Caroline went back into the multi-storey building somehow. Bryan faithfully waited until the woman returned with jeans and a white press body t-shirt.

"Have you?" Caroline nodded and got on the bike with that high seat.

"Where are we going?"

"As far as you."

It's up to me. He is the one who hides. Yes basic women's.

"Kok whatever?" Bryan frowning.

"Eat what watch that. It's up to you."

Finally Bryan relented, he drove his motorcycle to the mall in the city center. During the journey they kept quiet. Not because of anything. But talking also makes tired, not the astonishment of his voice. The trail bike was Bryan so fast forward.

From earlier even Caroline yelled at Bryan to slow down the motor. But in fact, the instructions of the woman he was screwed did not reach the ear. Just so fast that Bryan thought.

Caroline felt something was wrong. It could be that the man next to her looks so cute, not as usual.

"Why you?" Caroline asked, stopping Bryan's steps.

It turns out that Bryan's efforts to look ordinary can be read easily by the woman next to him.

"Why how?"

"Not usually."

"Ehm .. I just don't focus. Thesis's mind." Bryan is lying.

"Owh. I guess why."

Bryan was shocked when Caroline's hand held her hand and pulled towards the food court. The two sat on a bench waiting for orders of seafood fried rice to arrive.

"Where's the script?" Caroline asked open the conversation.

"Udah ACC exam."

"Just pass by dong." Bryan nodded.

"Keep the plan out of graduation?" Caroline is getting excited.

"Thank you for that." Tell both of them at the same time when the order comes.

"Feed yuk first!" Take Bryan.

Both of them enjoyed the fried rice in silence. Only sometimes their eyes meet and finally a smile adorns each other's lips. Until finally eating their afternoon toilet and this time Bryan who opened the conversation first.

"I plan to go to Surabaya." Bryan said after sipping mineral water.

"Away too."

"No. It's only two hours from here." Caroline just nodded.

"You yourself? Internship where?" Ask Bryan back.

Caroline is a student of the Faculty of Governmental Sciences. The two met when they were both members of one of the religious SMEs (Student Activities Unit) in the last year. His closeness continues to this day.

"I interned at the Tourism Office in Semarang." Answer Caroline.

"That's further, Lin."

Bryan looked out of the foodcourt. He was busy stringing words to be honest to the woman in front of him if he intended to end the relationship without this status. However, a different reality was thrown from Caroline's mouth.

"Yes!"

"Yes?" Bryan was waiting for Caroline's next sentence.

"Hm. Confused where do I want to start?"

What's he gonna say? Ask for the end of the cake! Let me not be tired of thinking how to talk.

"By the way, Lin!"

"Are you really not feeling for me?" Ask Caroline as calmly as possible.

"I mean, we've been out for almost a year. I wonder why our relationship is this?" Connect Caroline.

I die. I can't see his eyes. Be honest not to the heart. Keep running I'm tired myself.

If only Bryan had harbored feelings for Caroline. Maybe this moment will be very happy. But unfortunately in his heart there is not even the slightest taste for someone in front of him, the woman who fills his empty days through chat-chat every day.

"Ouch. How huh? I just don't dare to commit, Lin."

"You mean?"

"What if we only have relationships without status?"

"I want certainty, Yan."

Bryan's words that are still the beginning of his honesty turned out to make Caroline's look changed. The woman looked disappointed, her eyes now glazed over.

How could you not think about the status between us? A year later, is there no intention to be more serious? At least clarify my position!

"I just don't want you tied up, Lin."

What other macem is Bryan? God fucking. I can't be honest with him.

"I want you to tie. Do you actually have any feelings?" This time Caroline sobbed more and it caught the attention of some visitors. Bryan finally approached Caroline and hugged her.

Buseeet is my spectacle. Aw, Caroline.

"There. I love you the same. Already! Don't cry!" The words just popped out.

Stupid Bryan!! Just to not invite attention. You create even bigger lies.

Caroline is still not flinching. He was still in Bryan's arms. Gradually his sobbing began to subside.

"Udah huh? I can't wait to see a cry." Bryan stretched out his arms to look at Caroline. But the woman is getting stronger.

"I love you too. I thought all this time you were just messing around." Caroline's words that made Bryan's heart break.

Intentions end relationships that are lived without status. Now they even have a dating status. Congratulations to Bryan and Caroline!

Bryan's steps were made noisy when he entered the house. His first day of releasing singles status even made him cringe. Candra was curious to see her best friend come home with a sour face.

"Why the hell? Your face is so bent. Did you succeed in getting the storm? Or even some money?" Candra's question was thrown around.

"Your nutmeg succeeded. I'm officially made."

The sound of laughter filled the room.
