The Love Traces of RAHWANA

Quarry 24.

“Imagine if I didn't come, you must have gotten soaked because of the vegetable sauce.”

The clouds are proud of themselves. Sucks.

“You're okay, right?”

“I'm fine. Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come here?”

“I told you.”

“When?”

“Tadi. I sent you a message when I just got here.”

“You call it tell?”

I'm upset that I didn't read Awan's message because I overslept.

“Heheheheh. Wh why? Are you too happy to see me?”

“Stop taunting me, Cloud.” I said while starting

walk into.

“So right.” The clouds followed me.

The clouds upset me and stopped. I turned to protest at him. But I couldn't do it because now my face is perfectly stuck in Cloud's chest. I didn't predict our distance before.

The smell of the cloud that made me opiate again gushed into the nose.

“You want to cuddle what how?”

I immediately pushed Cloud's chest away. Then turn around and speed up my steps.

“Ara! Wait!”

I don't give a shit. I just keep going fast. I avoided the Clouds by sitting on the front porch of the bude house. And it turns out that guy is still following me, too. He even sat down next to me without excuse.

“Are you ashamed that I caught you earlier?”

“Why should you be ashamed?”

“Color usually your appearance is always beautiful. I didn't think you were getting pretty in that sleeveless nightgown. I want to see it again.”

“Woman! Stop mocking me.”

“I'm serious. Not ridiculing. That was you so beautiful, Ara.” The clouds in my ears.

My face is hot and hot. I held myself back so that my face would not turn red. Gosh, I really made a dead flea by him.

“Tonight, I'd like to take you to dinner. How?”

“No. I have to get ready because tonight I have to go back to Jogja.”

“Tonight? Not tomorrow?”

“I had a holiday yesterday. I don't want to take another holiday.”

I was just spontaneously saying it. We plan to go home tomorrow morning.

But I think back. It doesn't seem like a bad idea. I can go home tonight by train. That way I don't need college tomorrow. Trouble persuading mom and dad, I'll think about it later. And I can also escape from the call of the Clouds.

And I immediately realized my plan. I just left the Clouds in front of the house while I went in to see Mom. As soon as I found my mother, I immediately expressed my wish.

“Cannot. I can't let you go on a long journey alone. You have never traveled alone.”

“But Ara doesn't want to take another day off, Mom. Ara will be left behind in lessons.” I know my reasons are not strong. But I still want to try it. I have no other reason than my studies.

“But Mom is worried, Deck. The Malang-Jogja trip was not short.”

“That color, Ara wants to go home tonight so that tomorrow can go to college.” I kept pushing mom.

“Let me tell Masmu to take you home.”

“No. I still want to have fun spending my library.” Replied Mas Bhanu who had been listening to us since.

Mother sighed looking at Mas Bhanu annoyed.

“Buu...” I kept whining at my mom. Shaking his arm to seduce him. It doesn't matter if Awan's mom would listen to me because she's sitting next to him.

“But I'm worried if there's anything with you later on the road.”

The sound made me look straight at it. Clouds, the man stood beside his mother and smiled at me.

I immediately protested by looking at him sharply.

“Really?”

“Iya, Mum.”

“Ohh. Thank you very much, Cloud.”

Damnit. My name is in my heart. Now my position is cornered. Intended to escape but instead got caught in a situation that required me to be together with the Clouds. It's not that I don't like being with him. I like, even happy to be close to the Clouds. I just want to stay firm within my limits.

Because being with the Clouds, it's very dangerous for my heart. I don't want to die young of a heart attack.

Mother Awan seemed to speak softly to her son. I don't know what they're talking about, I can't hear it.

Now, how am I supposed to refuse this? While I started it first.

“You don't mind coming home with me, do you?” Ask the Clouds back.

I didn't answer. Just looking at him annoyed. I saw a mother who seemed to be waiting for my answer.

Gosh darn. I wanted to say I objected. But I had no explanation afterwards. And in the end, I nodded my head slowly.

Damn it, Cloud smiled as if he had won the lottery.

We were escorted to the station by Mas Irlan. He also booked my tickets and Awan. And at exactly eight o'clock at night, the train we were riding was already speeding over the iron track.

The first hour, I just threw my eyes out the window. There was nothing I could see in the dark that night. The clouds sat beside me and I felt that he kept looking at me.

“Do not give restrictions.” Her speech. I looked at him.

“What do you mean?”

“Now you're setting limits for me, right? Don't do that. Or I'll force you to beat your commitment.”

He threatened me again?

“What are you talking about?”

“I know you're avoiding me. You refused my dinner invitation and you never looked at me directly. May I know why?”

No. gabe. I won't tell you why I haven't been staring at him all day. I don't dare. Because when I do that, my heart feels like it's going to explode.

“I'm shy.”

“Then why?”

“Color you've seen my messy form.” Gosh darn. What reason is this?

The clouds were silent for a moment. But suddenly he stamped hard. To make some people notice us. I grabbed his arm to warn him.

“Kan I told you. Even if your appearance is as messy as it was. You still look beautiful, Ara. Don't be ashamed. You've even seen my hairy chest.”

Instantly I looked up and immediately shut his mouth. His words were too vulgar to say in a place like this.

Butbut wait. Hairy? I didn't see any feathers on Cloud's chest that day.

And again, Cloud again chuckled as she looked at me confused by my own thoughts. And then I realized he was pranking me. Again.

I immediately took my hand out of his mouth. I feel like I want to hit this guy to the bruise.

My hands are ready to launch my attack. But suddenly the Clouds fended it off and instead grasped it tightly. As I tried to pull my hand, Cloud tightened her grip.

“Women. Release.”

“No. This hand will be like this all night until we arrive at Jogja.”

“Awan..”.

He didn't bully me at all. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

My attitude is confusing. Even for myself. I love the Clouds hand. Even when I felt his grip begin to loosen, I did not pull it. I just let it be like that. Then I got ready to go to dreamland.
