Thank You for True Love

04 GETTING CLOSER - PART 1

Doesn't feel like three months past lecture time. Like a new student, a new environment, what else I live away from my parents and family.

But I'm grateful, there aren't many difficulties I'm facing here. The positive energy from the surrounding environment makes me feel comfortable and at home here. Both in the home environment and campus environment.

Getting more familiar with friends in the neighborhood of my boarding house, because all residents in the fence (so we who live in these five houses call it..)the girls are all and automatically full of excitement what else if we were gathered together in one of the houses.

More compact also with campus friends, not only class friends. Laughter often kaali coloring our leisure time at the change of class.

The young souls who are still full of passion, silliness, fad, colorful drama of the heart and many more flavors, make us into caring each other, as fateful as can be, but still in a positive spirit to achieve the future.

And Adit? How's it going..?? Adit is reportedly fine.

Yes, after all this time, Adit and I are getting closer. Close as friends. The most connected chatter friends, college assignment friends, sightseeing friends, dining friends, and certainly friends feel personal ojek vvip.

Actually, with some other friends I was also quite close, such as Rinaya, Elisa and some other guys. But the truth is I can get closer to Adit than anyone else. I don't know why, but I feel more comfortable being with him.

Probably because he's the first one I know here. Maybe also because he is a pretty funny guy, making me often chuckle loose with his unexpected behavior. Or maybe it's because Adit is so attentive that I feel more awake when nearby. I don't know either..

"So seriously, I dream of it. Who the hell was it..?" A slow pat on my shoulder but enough to make me jump in shock.

"Thinking you. Uh.." I answered just like that when I saw Adit who was sitting next to me.

He just laughed when he heard my words.

"Kok use uh..? Nyesel seems to be saying if I think of me again..?" God again.

"No money either, let you know that besides me and your parents, there is indeed a willing mind you..?" Balasku.

"Means I'm special, until you think.." Chase again.

"Pake telor instead.." I answered the origin while laughing followed by the laughter as well.

"Din, in the middle of the night I picked you up."

"Tumben nights out?"

"Please invite both of you.."

The deg..! His last sentence made my chest shake instantly.

My heart should not have to be this turbulent, anyway every day we also often go together.

But this time, I don't know.

After Isya Adit had picked me up, took me to the city park, after we had stopped by dinner first.

The city park we visited was not too crowded, especially this was not a weekend. But the atmosphere still feels alive, with many street vendors who have been organized, lined up neatly on one side of the park. Some visitors seemed cool sitting down while chatting haha hihi waiting for their order to come.

While Adit and I chose one side of the park that faces directly towards the small river that crosses the middle of this city. The banks of the river are filled with colorful small lights, showing small ripples that flow quietly with the sparkle of lights on the surface.

Quite calm. At least I'm still sitting here quietly. I don't know with Adit who was sitting quietly earlier beside me.

Unlike usual, he was silent for a long time. I'm just letting it go. Right now I don't know why I didn't dare to start a conversation. I chose to wait for him in the same silence.

Before long, our round wedang order came. Adit thrust a small bowl with a small plate on it at me. I began to enjoy spoon by spoon the warmth running down my throat. Even with Adit, he spent it faster, then put his bowl on an empty bench next to him.

I looked at him. Still enjoying the rest of my wedang ronde, I nod my head.

"How do you feel about me..?" his eyes looked straight at me. Almost made me choke, but I tried to control my behavior immediately before it looked clumsy.

"How do you feel about me..?!" Means back.

"Duh.., the wrong answer is like. I'm just fishing, anyway.." I blame myself in my heart.

"Like. Dear."

I was stunned, spontaneously looking at him who was still attached to look at me. He smiled, just like the first time. I think I'm starting to float...

"Don't you think I like you? Can I love you..??" Cecar Adit made my mouth even more choked.

I slowly put my bowl, trying to focus on mastering the turmoil of my heart.

I was still silent, not knowing what to answer.

I don't know how I feel about Adit. Maybe what I feel is the same as what Adit feels.

"Within..." Adit's voice broke my mind. It seems he's waiting for me to talk.

"To be honest I'm still surprised, but..." I doubt continuing.

"But what?"

"I don't know Dit.., I don't know what I've felt like you all this time, I don't know..."

I tried to remember one by one my time with Adit all this time.

I spend almost every day with him. There's not a day I've spent without Adit with me, except when I get back to my town. It never lost communication with him either.

"You're happy you're not with me..?" What other question is this, which I have not been able to answer, plus questions like this.

"Try asking your heart." continued Adit.

I took a long breath. Trying to put together a proper word to express what my heart feels about Adit.

"I'm happy Dit. I feel comfortable every time I am with you. I feel like someone's always been guarding and protecting me here.."

Sentence after sentence just flowed out of my mouth, as if my heart were speaking without passing through my brain just yet.

I saw Adit smiling at my answer. I felt very shady this time. Only now did I notice her face more clearly.

"Thank you.." Said Adit.

"I should be the one to thank you, Dit, because you've always been there for me. You make me not feel alone here. You're so nice. You're..."

"Sttitle..." Adit covered his own mouth with his thumb to stop my sentence. He shook his head slowly.

"I'm happy to do it. And I'm happy that you're also happy about my attitude. As long as you're happy, that's enough for me Din..!" Decisive reassured me..
