Trapped In Ambiguity

He's my best friend

After paying the taxi bill, I set foot on this Salo Street. I don't know why it's called Salo Street. But here is a great river defending this area in two. Salo 1 and Salo 2. On Salo 1 street, the houses there are simple, the place is still clean and well maintained, in contrast to Salo 2 Street which is completely inversely proportional.

Taxis can not enter because this road is only in khusukan for motorcycles. So inevitably I have to walk 500 meters inward on Salo 1 road to go to Devan's house.

"Excuse me" I shouted as I knocked on Devan's door.

A beautiful middle-aged woman opened the door for me. "Eh? Adel? It's been a long time since you've been here again" he greeted with a warm, friendly smile. He invited me to come in and sit down, and offered me a drink.

"No need, mother. I just want to meet Devan," I refused subtly.

"Devan is in his room. Will you call me or will you come to him?"

I seem to think for a moment. "Let me, mother."

The woman I called my mother let me in. He then agreed to continue his cooking which had been delayed.

I opened the door to Devan's unlocked room. He was lying on the sofa that had started to show the yellow cork, he seemed to be playing a game.

"What's up, mom?" Devan suddenly sat down when he heard the sound of his bedroom door hinge ringing. "Eh? Dellong." - Dellong." He looked surprised when he saw me.

"Can I come in?" my many.

"You are, usually just go straight without asking permission first," he said and continued his training and the game.

I walked, sat on the edge of the bed and looked around the room. I forgot when I last visited here. Nothing has changed from this room. Ebiet G wall poster. Ade is still there. Yep, me and Devan both idolize Ebiet G. Ade.

"What's wrong? Tumbensnya you come here again." asked Devan without diverting eyes from the game.

"Wouldn't play at a friend's house?" I rolled my eyeballs lazily.

"It's gonna be tonight, I'll find you. Btw, didn't you want to go with Sister Rega?" tanyakanya.

"So it's already."

"You must have a problem, right?" Devan fixed his sitting position, removed the earphones he had been using and prepared to hear my curses.

"Well, just a small matter. No need to be in bigger trouble," I said slowly.

"You if you don't want to tell a story." He breathed a rough breath. "Main ps yuk" he asked.

"Not in the mood" I answered briefly.

"Well, it's clear from your face." Devan chuckles when nothing is funny at the moment.

I threw my body on the bed, staring at the white ceiling of Devan's room. I wanted to complain to him about Brother Rega, but I already knew the answer. I closed my eyes, trying to make peace with my heart and my mind.

"Delloooong." The sound of screaming made me wake up in shock. I stared at the platform of this house while reassembling my life.

"Akh, you surprised me." I got up and sat cross-legged on the bed, my life still half-assembled.

"You want to spend the night here?" tanyanya judes's. "Gw tired of waiting for you who sleep already like a kebo. I miss my room. Because of you, I have to turn to the front of the TV," Devan said.

I just realized, it turns out I fell asleep at his house. "Well, what's wrong, right?" tanyaku while squinting his eyes, looked at him with full vigilance.

"Dellong, dellongs. Is this innocent and cute Devan going to do that? If you don't believe me, just ask Mom. Ever since I realized you were sleeping, I came out of the room, told my mom that you were sleeping, and then she gave me the blanket. I haven't been in my room since 3 hours ago" Devan chanted at length and ended it by rolling his eyeballs and folding his hands in front of his chest.

I got out of bed and tidied it up a little. "I'm going home. I'm waiting for you outside. Take me, " I said.

I then walked towards the dining table, picking up a bit of rice on my plate. Such simple food was presented in front of me: sour vegetables, dried fish and sambal pete. I started to taste it, one bribe, two bribes, three mouthfuls, I seemed to be hooked. And of course make me add 2 times the portion of my meal than usual tonight.

"Dellloooong." Again the sound surprised me. "I've been waiting for you outside, you've been eating here."

I ignored it and finished the rest of my food. This fresh white water is my dinner cover.

"The one." I leaned back in the chair while holding my stomach.

"De-llong." Devan again disturbed my calm. I then stood up, lifted my plate to the dishwasher and washed it. Looks like you just finished washing dishes, because there's not a single dirty dish here.

"Let's go home, Devan," take me.

"There's candy in the closet. Take two and eat it. Your mouth stinks," to be honest.

I obey Devan. I went back to see my mother, thanking her and saying goodbye for the second time today.

***

I knocked on my door. The clock strikes at 9pm just as Dad opens the door for me. Dad looked at my face so flatly and let me in. After I got in, he locked the door again.

"Dad thought you forgot to go home" said the father in a cynical tone.

"Sorry Dad, I forgot to tell you." I was downcast, afraid to look at the face of my father who might be angry at this moment.

"Dad was very angry but suddenly you called dad. Dad answered and it was Devan. Devan said my dad's daughter fell asleep and she didn't have the heart to wake you up" explained Dad. I looked up, looking at the face of my father who was currently smiling faintly. " Have you eaten?"

"Feel mom really good, yeah," I said excitedly. "Otherwise sambal pete it. It feels really good, Dad."

"Sambal pete? I haven't eaten it in a long time. Tomorrow we ask the mother for the masakin. Now you go to your room. Sleep well, Cil." Dad kissed my forehead before I went to my room.

"Oh yeah, Cil." Dad stopped my steps. "So Rega nyariin you. He came at 7. He said he sent you a message, but you haven't answered."

"I'll reply soon, Father." I answered and went into the room.

I sat on my couch in my room, looking for Kak Rega's message. The message has been read? I guess I've never read it. So who read Kak Rega's message before me? Devan? Didn't you just say Devan called him. Did Devan not read it? I opened the message.

Adel, you misunderstood

It's not what you imagined

I just caught Yolanda

He stumbled and almost fell

We didn't hug, Del

Adel

Darling

Huft

I'm really sorry for creating this misunderstanding.

I put my phone back. It may be true what Rega said. But what I saw earlier, Yolanda hugged Sister Rega. I don't know what to believe in what I read or what I see.

I hope tomorrow is okay.
