The Long Waiting of My True Love

Chapter 2

After I gave my phone number I felt that there was something strange between me and Sani. I began to think and look for the location of the awkwardness.

Until there came some negative thoughts about Sani if it was a stroke of Sani maybe he would give me a phone number of a man I think he likes as well. Is it possible that only Sani admitted that it was his bluff or maybe Sani lied to me. That is the repeated repetition that arises in my mind. I started to erase those negative thoughts from my brain and try to focus on the lessons in college.

The campus hours are over. The time I was waiting for has come.

I met my gangmates Rina, Ganita, Sinta and Trisna. We gathered in front of the class usually we like to stop by one of their boarding houses to eat, lie down or share stories. But this time we chose to plan directly home to Kosan each.

I parted ways with my friends at the campus gate. I went home using the same online motorcycle as them.

Upon arrival at home I changed my clothes and cleaned the house I happened to live in my family's house. After I cleaned up the house and cooked. It was done my kitchen work I chose to take a shower immediately. I took a towel to take a shower.

After I took a shower I saw the clock was still seven in the evening less I took the iron because there was still time I ironed the clothes before the grave time of night and learned although little I could iron it was enough to help me reduced the pressure the next day.

When I was about to pick up the ironing I heard my phone ringing as soon as I picked up my phone, I saw a phone number that I did not recognize and was not named.

"Hello, who is this? Askaqua.

"This is Petra who asked for your phone number this afternoon" he replied.

"Oh yes ? What's the need bang? I answered a little bit.

"Oh sorry I have more work" I replied evasively.

"Oh yes sorry to bother "he said.

"It's okay" I said, turning off the phone.

I don't know why I don't like it so much, though, indeed, we had a little chat when on campus but it does not mean I like it if he calls me because I was nosy not serious plus I was a typical person who likes to disturb my friends . But with the conversation this afternoon did not make me fall in love or happy. I don't know why I don't know maybe because he's my friend. I don't think so, or because I haven't recognized him directly.

The next day I got a chat notification not from my boyfriend. Because we had minimal communication because he had to train for the Akpol Test preparation at that time. So we communicate only at night it's just a few minutes because of a lot of activity so we choose to rest. Then I opened the phone there was a whatsapp message that I didn't know whose number.

" Hey deck" a short message I found.

" I'm sorry about who?" my reply.

" I'm petra who called you last night." The answer.

"Ohh yeah I haven't saved your number bang" I replied honestly.

Then I kept the number. The conversation continues but all we discuss is about daily activities . I'm tired of the question I answered completely. Even sometimes there is no intention of me returning messages from him plus he always invites me to meet.
