The Eye of Aska Time

The Hidden Behind Usy's Eyes

I haven't been this bad since High School. Somewhat excessive maybe because it feels like it's not as good as doing anything. Even with Fried Chicken Flour or Chicken Burn Honey even the invitation to play basketball does not bother the appetite and make me excited.

It felt strange, it happened a bit like a dream and hung. I don't like it because for me everything has to be there's always a strong underlying reason.

So here's the story;

I've dressed up, bright tonight I don't see any clouds. Even the moon looks naked, without specks of starlight makes the Moon Light become the prima donna of the sky tonight. Seeing the Moon shining brightly it was like wanting to bark the Wolf. Uh no, I mean it's beautiful.

It's the day I promised to eat with Usy. This time I chose a slightly cozy place in the Pajajaran area. This place is semi-outdoor concept, with a swimming pool in the middle of the room, there is no live music here, but from the review they have a good taste of jazz genre music. I have never been there, I chose that place because the rating on google is above 4.3. I didn't pick Usy up, he was away with his parents. He said he'll slide right after he's done. It's okay, usually also gini.

I came around 7 p.m. I chose a seat outside. This place of eating is not too crowded, a waitress there came to me put a menu of food and drinks. I asked for time until Usy came, so I allowed him to leave me. When I open the menu book menu choices ranging from the menu buffet to snacks are many, the drinks are also diverse ranging from Dawet drinks to Soju there. And most importantly there is Tom Yum and mendoan bakar, this is Usy's favorite. Hmm, it could be a place to eat maybe if it's good.

About 20 minutes later Usy arrived. She's wearing a white t-shirt, blue ankle pant, and. glasses? Rarely does Usy wear glasses as I ask he has no problem with his eyes, or maybe suddenly he has a problem maybe? Ah never mind, the smile that was thrown at me still stole my heart.

“Aska,” called her while pulling a chair in front of me while smiling sweetly.

“Hai, how was it where, baby?”

“Abis streets dong same Mr same Ibuk, was abis from Ranca Upas, continue to eat soto abis it otw here.”

“Asik dong, where to see your photos.”

“Yes, my HP battery abis, later yes I show off,” he replied then took the menu book in front of me “Wih there is Tom Yam, but full, but wanted, I want to, there is also burning! Aska, want this. Fix Aska pesen Tom Yam I mendoan sebak, later I ask Tom Yam you yes. You want to marry can't be fat!” he immediately sentin his menu and called the waiter.

I laughed and answered his request. Usy looks at me with a little shy “Tadi greetings from Papah,” he said while playing his fingers.

“Oh yes, greetings back,” reply. After a few stale bases, he started to not focus too much, there might be a prodigious mind. His eyes did not dare to look at me for long. I was a little worried so I tried to find out by asking him.

As if covering up or holding back while waiting for a moment to talk he always quibbles and tells about his work that is a lot. He was also happy when his father came home. Until we finish eating, he starts telling stories.

“Aska,” call it down.

“Why, am I wrong?” answer me as soon as possible.

“Oh no, no,” reply, then silent for a while “You trust me, Ka?”

“Iya believe me,” answer me “Why?”

“You're sure we're a match, mas?"

“Yakan next month we marry to, insyaAlloh-lah mate.”

He looked at me deeply, then threw away his face while saying “If it's back in a month how is it?”

I was a little surprised to hear it, the spoon I still hold, I slowly put it on the table and then quietly I asked “Di-un-dur?” I asked Usy, trying to convince him that I heard wrong.

“Iya, in-un-dur, backtracked, mas, can?”

“Why?”

“There is a promise that I must keep in.”

“Yakan all have been prepared, the vendor, chateringnya, some invitations have also been spread, why suddenly ask to be pushed back?”

“Mas trust me?” Ask Usy again with eyes that begin to glaze over.

"Yes I know, believe me the same I was pushed back a month would not be why-why."

"Kok not why-why, yes why-wid our people stay counting down, not the intention anyway?"

Usy bit his lip, then he bowed for a moment. I know he started crying. I who was talking a little loud, made the atmosphere centered on the two of us. The whole room looked at us and I was getting mean here. I moved Usy's side chair, grabbed her right shoulder and rubbed it.

“Why, want to tell us?” ask me subtly.

Usy moved my hand to the table, then held it with both hands “I want to make a promise I first yes, please. I'll talk to the family later, Mom. I know I believe in myself.”

I didn't answer. I just kept quiet and offered to take her home. Usy refused, and I asked to go home.

On the way I fumbled over what was really going on. Usy didn't tell me when he arrived. We lost contact for 3 days. And only today I ngabarin him “Let me just talk to my family, I believe really same you. Please finish your promise. Don't forget to tell me the same story.”

“Still a lot of mas, I fell so gratefull to have you.”

“Next week Aji get married, can temenin mas dateng there gak?”

“No mas, I'm a month in Semarang.”

“Its, okay, have fun.”

I woke up feeling confused. Unknowingly last night I fell asleep after too late I moping. As soon as I could get ready because when I saw the wall clock, 30 minutes left, the office clock.

Arriving at the office I saw that Felix was listening to music while demonstrating his singing movements. He played his hand while closing his eyes and when he opened his eyes he was surprised to see me looking at him with a blank look.

“Et demon!” shout “Big bad luck as it loses its bird.”

“Aption, work ****!” ketus.

“Yeu, marmot!”

Mas Felix stopped singing, he put his earphones on. I looked at my gloomy face from my dark computer monitor. Well not good like this, will be a burden on my division if it affects my work. I took the file on my desk drawer, and I finished my work immediately.

“Ka,” call mas Felix down.

“Why mas?”

“Serius nanya, yesterday know where if I ever myebokin temenku when still SD?” he said, bringing his face closer to me.

I really don't want to break this down to anyone, but because of the first time Felix mas I can realize how to make my eyes this so I tell you “I can see the past of Felix mas if we look at a few minutes mas.”

“Serious?” the question is astonished “Means you know I ever shot a girl?”

“Yang mas Felix shot time home from school while chasing his girl up a distinction?”

“Ssttt!!!” mas Felix covered my mouth with his hand “OK, okay don't. Why didn't you tell me from the first time?”

“Well what good is also see the past of people, so I diem anyways a bit useless anyway,” answered me a little annoyed.

“Bego, okay, come with me tomorrow visit. We're trying to figure out what can be done with that same eye. Could be more useful than seeing me nyebokin temen.”
