The Extreme Time
4 EPS. He's the guy
08:00 in the morning
The sun showed its light
A light that is always cheerful no matter what the circumstances
That's Alana This morning a smile has been etched sweetly on my lips, but not with my heart. Father and mother who had sat to fill the dining table. There also appear to be two of my best friends. This morning's breakfast was awkward no one started the conversation until Ale finally made a laugh again. But no one laughed as hard as ever there was just a little laugh from mom and Dennis.
After breakfast, my best friend took me to enjoy the beach. They say when else they can enjoy the beauty of the beach together like this. But I know that's not the only reason they took me out, they must have told my mom to comfort me. This morning I saw my mother staring anxiously at me and then changed to look at Ale. I know what it means even without a word I know.
Today it is true that the three of us spent to explore every stretch of the beach from end to end. They tried to get me to play but I just shook my head. So it continues until the afternoon. That afternoon we went back to the resort and stood in front of my father's dreamy entrance. Ale and Dennis looked at me and I just nodded. They picked up the signal and rushed in leaving me. I walked up to my father and my father seemed to wake up from his daydream, but I immediately held my father's hand. Dad looked at me with a guilty look and worried.
"Dad, I have something to say for a moment" I just nodded
"Lana, I was thinking about it last night. Lana thinks ..."
"Don't be in a hurry, I won't put pressure on you, son"
"Lana, not depressed. Lana, I'll try. Any choice Lana's father would try to identify her but may Lana ask for one thing?"
"really? You'll know him?" I nodded back
"Say what do you want, son?"
"Can Lana finish Lana's lecture first?"
"Of course, I didn't ask you to get married. Finish your lecture, in 2 years during your lecture let him accompany you" again I just nodded
At 21:00 pm
We're all packing clothes tomorrow we've got to get back to our town. Flight at 8am. The mood has not completely improved but dad looks better. She had a small smile on her face.
We arrived at the airport half an hour before departure. Looks like there's some of my dad's friends who have the same home clock and he's a handsome white guy. She looks familiar I think she must have been a guest at the party yesterday. Seeing him my father was approaching him. I just took a quick look at him without knowing he was the one. The person I'm going to introduce.
The next night, he came with some fruit and some food. Of course I was welcomed by both my parents. I did not know about his arrival just arrived as soon as I came down he was already there. Instantly I understood, so he was the one. His name is Raka Wijaya, he is a very popular young pediatrician. He's 25 and he's the son of a regular office worker I hear his father is gone and mom doesn't know where. She has been living alone since her father died when she was 23. His face is not playful, he is very handsome with big eyes and a firm jaw.Of course that is what makes him popular.
"Lana, come here" my mother's fingers asked
"Yes, briefly. I'm down"
"Son Raka this is Alana my daughter" mother patted me gently on the shoulder
"I'm Raka Wijaya, greetings Alana" her friendly smile immediately filled her handsome face thrusting a hand at me.
"I'm Alana Saputri" I smiled as I shook her hand
We left my house after I picked up the bag and he also seems to still not fully adapt to this. We rode in his black car across the city's night streets. Not a word could be heard in the car he was just focused on driving and once twice glanced to the side looking at me who was just sitting quietly looking at the night road. He stopped in front of the cafe and started asking questions before we fully got out of the car.
"Alana, is it okay in the cafe?" again I just nodded back.
We entered the cafe and chose to sit on the second floor next to the window.
"Alana, what do you want to order?"
"Mango juice only"
"Alright" He immediately went towards the barista in front ordering a tall body as he could even look charming from behind. Sounded amazed at the woman at the table he passed.
"Your mango juice, would you like a message to Lana?"
"Not thank you"
"Are you this quiet Lana? I thought you could tell me something. Your upset expression about this matchmaking is also okay I'll understand. I'm in front of you this won't force or compel your good treatment. I just want to at least make me your friend for now" he said, sounding sincere and full of guilt. I feel bad about venting resentful feelings on people who don't even know how to know.
"I'm sorry Mr. Raka, I shouldn't have done that. I just haven't fully accepted this"
"That's okay, Lana, but can you give me a little bit of your cheerful attitude. I feel guilty seeing you just sitting there expressionless and if I may just call me by name. The call felt more comfortable" his smile expectantly
"Good Raka" my smile knotted
"Alana, do you know your smile is so sweet. But even I dare not look at it. It's like your sweet smile has possession" I'm surprised not to play. What does that ownership mean, does she think I refused because I already have a boyfriend? But I just smiled at him.
"Raka, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No, why?"
"Just curious, you are so popular wherever you are the view will be on you is it true you don't have a boyfriend? Or suppose someone who likes you might"
"Well, Alana, I didn't think the quiet girl could talk this whole time. It's true that you're as happy as the sun" her smile brightened
"Not so, I'm just asking you don't have to answer" my face went out embarrassed as if someone else heard me as a chatty person
"It's not your question I don't want to answer, Lana. I was just amazed to see this change in attitude but I was happy with this change" again he smiled
I can barely keep seeing his smiling face he's so handsome when he smiles. It almost melted my heart but I tried to be as quiet as I could. I remember something weighing on my heart about the matchmaking with him made me forget how handsome and kind he was.
"Alana, let's be friends. Don't think about matchmaking, you still have 2 years to think. For now, consider me your friend. Please don't feel forced when I'm with you to say that if you feel uncomfortable, I'll accept it. At least tell me the truth when you're with me. Can I have this, Lana?"
"I'll try to be honest, and before that I'm sorry and please understand me if maybe I'm being nice. You should also not be forced to be beside me. You can leave whenever you want" We shook hands a second time but this time it was a different feeling created more sincerely than the previous handshake.
