Trapped by the Wrong Raga
Chapter 5: Incident of Corn Burn



One month after Nayl and I said love in his room. That night there was a band festival at a cafe near my campus. We as a band obviously part to fill the show there.


By then Nayl was performing while my band was still waiting for a part. We who are always together are never far apart. Nayl never let go of his grip on my hand except when he was playing.


At that time Bondan came up to me and poked my shoulder, "Ra, we check the sound first behind yuk! Thirty minutes to go on our part" he said.


I'm rattled. While Nayl looked at me with his sweet face and slightly pursed lips which I understood meant he didn't want to stay.



"Nayl doesn't want to stay" I told Bondan.


Bondan stared unhappily at Nayl. "Yes, you brought Nayl back too! When we want to gig not check the sound first anyway?!" said Bondan who looked annoyed.


"Nayl, you come to the back!" I said to Nayl.


"Heeh" said Nayl.


I held Nayl's hand following Bondan's steps that had gone first with a mouth that cursed unclear.


Arriving at the back of the cafe, I saw Angga and Ricky already there and both looked dislike towards Nayl.


"Hi, Nayl is beautiful!" goda Angga with a julid tone.


"Here, beautiful Vajria" Ricky said with a laugh.


I glanced at the uncomfortable looking Nayl with a pretty greeting. Yes, I said pretty she didn't like it, let alone anyone else! But I want to do not feel good as well as my bandmates. Moreover, I haven't trained with them since I had Nayl.


"Hi guys, we snack first yuk! Eh there is Vajria as well as the beautiful Nayl too!" exclaim Lukman who just came by carrying a clear plastic bag that looks filled with large-sized grilled corn and looks still reflecting smoke! It smells so good!


"Guys!" bondan immediately took a plastic bag in Lukman's hand and tore it up and then his title on the table. Ricky and Angga immediately took the grilled corn.


"Nayl, you want some grilled corn?" I asked while squeezing Nayl's hand.


Nayl did not answer. I squeezed his hand again. "Nayl, will you?"


The beautiful man still did not answer. His palms were cold and wet...


I immediately felt that something was wrong with Nayl! I immediately held both of his shoulders to observe his condition. Nayl looked pale, his lips were shaking and his breath was wheezing!


"Nayl, what's wrong with you?" many panic!


"I'm not strong, Ra... Yuck!" Nayl was like someone who was going to vomit! Nayl covered his mouth with his palm.


"Darling, why?!" I panicked more and grabbed Nayl's head to lean on my shoulder. Nayl was so weak as he leaned on my shoulder, I felt his whole body tremble.


"I want to go home, Ra.." whispered Nayl.


"You sick?" I asked while caressing her cheeks and peeling her temples.


"I'm not strong... I was drunk." she replied weakly.


"What drunk?!"


"I can't see and smell corn... I'm afraid of corn..."


"What?!" I'm so shocked! After five months of knowing Nayl, only now do I know he's scared of corn!


"I'm coming home now, right?!" Nayl took off my hand and pulled his head off my shoulder and then was about to run while covering his mouth.


"Nayl, wait! I won't let you go home drunk like this!" I said while embracing his shoulder.


"No! I'll take you home right now! We're here to ride my bike anyway! What are you going home for?"


"Ojek online is okay. I am not strong... I'm gonna throw up..."


"Have a ride online! I'll be kidnapped by a motorcycle taxi! Wait a minute, yes" I sat Nayl in a chair holding his head. Nayl's face turned pale, making me want to cry!


I immediately approached my friends who were eating grilled corn.


"Ra, will you?" bargain Ricky while thrusting a grilled corn at me.


I glanced at the corn that had made my Nayl drunk! "I want to go home! Nayl's sick!" I said.


Spontaneously all my friends were shocked and looked at me with incredulous eyes!


"What did you say, Vajria?!" ask Bondan wonder.


"I want to go home. Nayl's sick" I repeated my words.


"Don't be crazy, Vajria!" lukman was angry.


"You're kidding, right?!" angga.


"I'm serious! Nayl's sick and I'll take him home right now!" I said.


"Crazy of you, Vajria. We'll be on stage soon! You want to leave us alone because your boyfriend is sick?!" ask Bondan.


"But pity Nayl!" I'm going awry.


"You're outrageous, Ra! You never did any training! You also don't have time to hangout with us! And now you want to sacrifice our gig for a guy who's a little girl?!" said Ricky.


"How did Nayl go? Why is she doing it?!" I'm so confused!


"Yes is there! Take away your beautiful future wife! Kelonin ampe morning!" bondan said furiously!


"Click not on angry dong! You are not in my position! When the person you love is sick, will you be quiet?!"


"Bodo very! You have changed, Ra! You're apathetic! Ever since you knew that kid, you've ignored us who have been with you for three years!" angga.


"What if you guys play without me?! His rap sessions were eliminated! This time it is!" my suggestion is because I'm not good with my friends either.


"Where can! Eliminate many important parts suddenly like this!" ricky said annoyed!


"Some of us aren't sure Nayl's sick! She performed very attractive! Bring the Boomerang tragedy! How could it be now that he was suddenly sick!" Lukman.


"Nayl really hurts! He was drunk because.." I didn't continue my words because if I told him Nayl was drunk with corn, they'd be more upset with Nayl.


"Because what?! Because he can't stand you even tonight?!" ask Bondan julid!


"Take your mouth?!" I was emotional and pushed Bondan's chest!


"You don't have to miss me, Ra! I know how far you've come with that kid! Almost every time you go home from college, you take him to his room!"


"Bond!!!" I screamed hysterically and was about to hit Bondan!


Luckily Ricky held my hand and said. "Udah, Ra! Now you go! You're not part of us anymore!"


"okay! I'm leaving right now!"
