"All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what loves do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?"
~ All I ask - Adele~
I woke up this morning and I quickly opened the glass window of the room where I stayed after I first dropped the curtains that covered it. I looked at the towering blue sky, adorned with a beautiful white tinge. The weather was so clear this morning, the air was so fresh I could breathe. Understandably I am indeed looking for an inn whose air is rather fresh even though it is far from urban. For a few seconds I observed the scenery around my inn located on the second floor. And at that moment, my heart was struck when I found someone I saw from across the bedroom. A girl, well, I saw that girl again.
This morning his face was shining. She had already prepared in a salem-colored skirt suit and a plain pink blouse top. Her hair was tightly covered by a long, salem-colored veil matching the color of her skirt but brighter with some white stripes on the bottom. She draped her unsewn headscarf to her shoulder and wore a small ribbon of the same color as her headscarf.
"Sweet..," I muttered for a moment.
I'm not aware of it now, but I've been aware of it for a long time. The girl is sweet, yes she is indeed very sweet even with her cubby cheeks. She is not a beautiful girl who is good at dressing up like most people. She is not a girl who is good at picking the color of clothes and sometimes the style of dress is strange. She is also not the type of girl who likes to wear press body clothes to display their sexy body or display their legs with a tight jeans. She's not that kind of girl. She is a different girl, different from most other girls. She was a simple girl and wore what she felt comfortable enough for her. And you know one of its characteristics, any outfit that is comfortable for him as long as it can cover his body from top to bottom and of course one of the conditions of the dress must be loose, loose, because he didn't want to put his curves. I asked him once before.
Flashbacks
"Why ? How many loe faces?" my many.
"Jebel...," he said who sat on the front bench of the space part time.
"Why is it...?" manya curious.
"You're not Gha." he's about to start his story.
"You don't know, you haven't told me yet" I said to her. Then he looked at me cynically with a still-manyuning face. And of course I knew he was going to start joking with me earlier. Because I know he was serious about telling me about what made him go wrong. Realizing he was about to lash out, I finally spoke up. "Joking, don't be serious about his face" I said. "Tell me, why?" I was getting ready to hear the story.
"You don't." he started the story in the same tone and I'm clear that I don't know in my heart because he hasn't told me yet. "So in the cooking elevator there's a younger brother who seduces me, playing try to hold my hand again. The alesanya want to press the elevator button. But I hit that button first because I was standing right in front of that button." she said. "Nyebelin not really....,"
"Haha.gituo doang. Temptation back." I chanted.
"Eh.kamu kok malang say that anyway. It's not good Gha, children today even dare to kayak that is the same sister level..," he said.
He thought of his own words with his index hand touched to his cheek. And I just responded with a laugh seeing the face of him who was so ugly with adek level. Seeing me who was still laughing, she looked at me snidely and walked away from me. The next morning I know what's going on, I don't know if I haven't told you. Hehe.sorry joking. The next morning she wore a canal like that, and the days that followed she wore a skirt continued not only when she taught but also during college. He has never made jeans or pants again since then. Even if I thought about the shirt, he was polite. Despite wearing jeans he always wore a loose and long top even below his knees.
He also knew that I was a little surprised to see the habits of his appearance at that time. And sometimes also often laugh at the behavior of the road that is still not so accustomed.
"That's a skirt what a mop." I said at the time when I saw she was a little ribbed with her dark blue wide skirt sweeping the floor in length. We were going down the stairs for lunch behind the campus.
"Ish...," she simply answered like that while she was putting her face away. And I just laughed the wider I saw that behavior. "I just want to reduce my sins" he said later and walked ahead of me.
And that's when I thought about what this was because of yesterday. Where she was seduced by a sister level. Maybe he thought that it was his fault because he became bullied by men. That's why he changed his appearance. Though it was not her fault entirely, but it was the fault of those level siblings whose eyes could not be conditioned. Or maybe the reason they tease may not be because of Ara's appearance but because they are curious about Ara's sometimes cold attitude. That's one of the changes from him back then and he's been that way too until now. Even though his memories did not fully return but at least he still did what he thought was right.

I still enjoy looking at him from my room without me realizing that the clock has shown at 09.00 WIB. He's still the same, just as cute as he used to be and that's what makes me always want to bother him first and always try to trigger a fight with him. Somehow the reason I don't know, it's just that fighting and joking with him makes me feel good and can forget for a moment the things that bother my mind. My phone rang, instantly and Mela's name appeared on her screen.
Calling Mella :
"Hallo, Gha..loe, you're awake, right?" ask Mella.
Calling of Erlangga :
"Yes, it's been.it's getting ready again..," I replied then when I still haven't done anything because I was busy looking at Ara from across the room.
Calling Mella :
"Loe's got a car, right?"
Calling of Erlangga :
"Yes, I rented a car....,"
Calling Mella :
"Yes, if so, then pick me up at my inn. I left with you, because my guy came back yesterday...,"
Calling of Erlangga :
"Okay.oke..in half an hour I'll pick you up." I said.
"Huft...gue should hurry...," I sigh.

Ara was waiting for Mahdi in the lobby of the inn. Their rooms are quite far apart. A few minutes later, Mahdi came up with a shirt and a black cloth trouser suit that looked as neat as ever.
"Ra, I'll take you to your friends' place, after that I stay because I have a sudden business, is it okay?" mahdi said.
"Hmmm.okay it's okay. Besides, there is also Vreya who helps me if I have trouble later," said Ara.
"Alright then, but you have to promise me one thing first..,"
"Promise what Mas,"
"Promise to call me immediately if there's anything strange you're feeling...,"
"Well, doctor," said Ara with a big smile.
A few hours later, Ara finally arrived at the place where her friends gathered. They prepared two cars there, one Erlangga who rented and the other Zeta's car.
"OK so all has come yes, then now we for the group to enter the car... And let's be fairer we'll gamble.., '" explained the Son.
"OK..," they answered in unison.
"Alright, Oh yes Ra, you don't have to join the gambreng right you will be in a car with Mas Mahdi right?" ask Putra. Hearing the Son say like that somehow the look on Erlangga's face became a little grim.
"I'm coming, Mas Mahdi again has business so can't just send me here anyway. So I joined the gambreng yes..," he said.
"Okay well then we begin." said the Son,
Finally from that result it was decided that Putra, Vreya, Ara, Mela, Tama, and Ahmad were one car with Erlangga while Vena, Yola, Reza, Arif, Dinda and Azrel were riding Zeta. After the division, they finally immediately drove the car to their destination. Beach.
"Ahhhhhhh..beach, we finally arrived........................," cried Zeta and Dinda in unison.
"Yes, it feels good to be able to take a break from the daily routine.", added Vreya. "Isn't this fun, Ra." he asked Ara.
"Hmm.yes this is fun," said Ara while nodding her head. "But, why do I feel like I've been to the beach too in the not-too-distant future?" said it. The person walking behind Ara knew what the girl was talking about with Vreya.
"REally...?" Vreya asked.
"Em.iya it feels like I'm used to the beach air, but maybe it's just my feeling huh. Or is it possible that I also forgot that I actually went to a place like this?" said Ara with a slightly sad face.
"Loe's not wrong, you know. Loe emang had gone to the beach in Yogja and met me a few months ago," Erlangga said, but only in his bath.
"That whatever it is forget it first. Don't try to remember so hard, remember Mas Mahdi's message that you shouldn't be too stressed. Okay...?" said Vreya and answered with a nod by Ara.
"Let's play Air Ra." take the Son and his other friends.
"You guys, I'll wait here.....,"
"Yes.you are, we have come all the way here.", said Vina.
"Em...actually I..I...," said Ara who was cut off by Erlangga's next words.
"Say, you are afraid of drowning, right." said Erlangga cut Ara's words.
"Emmm..engg..enggak. Don't know who you are. Sok knows... Let's play water." said Ara trying to hide her fear exactly as Erlangga said that in fact she was afraid of drowning.
"Yes, if you're not afraid. Prove it..," Erlangga said. "Be careful in this tablets..," whispered Erlangga who deliberately frightened Ara. And clearly hearing Erlangga's words, Ara tried to hide her fear from others. But not from Erlangga. Erlangga knew that the girl bit her lower lip, indicating that she was terrified. Erlangga smiled faintly as he managed to make the girl shudder in fear, and he was sure that the girl would definitely not dare to touch the water.
They finally play with water. And of course all of them dropped their friends one by one into the water. And they also swim here and there considering the waves are not too big. It felt safe and not too deep finally Ara followed her friends but suddenly she did not know that the more she walked then the more the beach was not the same as those on the coast. In the preoccupation, his friends finally realized that Ara was drowning when they heard the sound of a thump from someone who jumped towards Ara. And within minutes Ara was finally saved.
"Uhuk..uhuk. He stared in full search at Erlangga who was drenched beside him right next to him sleeping on her back. Finally he woke up and stared at Erlangga intensely.
Erlangga who realized that immediately asked: "What?" ask her.
"You didn't do anything to me, did you?" asked Ara in full search while holding both hands to her chest. While hearing that all his friends laughed because they all knew that Erlangga was only trying to help Ara no more.
"Emang loe thinks I'm a fuckin' guy. It's the real world, miss, don't think I did the things that were done in the movie. Therefore do not mostly watch soap operas..," said Erlangga.
"Hehe. You look like a pervert, anyway." said Ara while grinning.
"That's why if you can't swim say you can't. No need to be pretentious, you stupid," said Erlangga while snapping Ara's head. The one who was told could only grimace due to the jakita Erlangga. After that, Erlangga left Ara and her other friends.
After the incident, Ara was just sitting on the beach while playing around with white sand around her seat. Her soaking wet robe was still not replaced because it was waiting for her other friends. He just draped a towel on his shoulder to cover his chest to reduce the cold from the beach breeze. Erlangga who knew the girl was fine could only watch her from a distance.
