Trapped In Ambiguity

Any more?

I looked at the numbers in my book and started working on them. Sometimes I scratch my head that doesn't itch. I looked up as Rasti called out to me and I replied by raising both of my eyebrows. He asked me to accompany him to go to the teacher's room. I sighed softly then looked around, it was just the two of us in this room.

"All right," I said resignedly. I'm not the kind of person who would let my friend alone if he had asked me. But if there were someone else in this class, of course, I would refuse.

He walked beside me, apparently trying to align my steps quickly. I also wonder why a girl like me walks at such a fast pace. Even Devan has protested because of my move. Suddenly my steps stopped when I heard the voice of Kak Rega. I turned my head and found him sitting on a park bench with Devan.

"Ras, I'll wait for you here" I whispered. Rasti looked a little disappointed but she nodded anyway. I then hid behind a tree behind them and heard what they were talking about. I've been a spy.

"You have to trust me. I will always take care of him, I will not let those tears spill,” asked Kak Rega with his heavy voice.

"How can I believe it?" Devan's voice is heard by Judes. Look at him, it doesn't have the same ethics as upperclassmen.

“How should I prove it?”

Devan sighed - even I could hear the wind coming from it. “Let him stay happy. That'sallthatis. I won't tell you to keep her tears because I know Adel so well. But when he complained to me about you. Then I want you to split.”

Brother Rega seemed to think, “ alright. So you approve me now?”

“You how else?”

Someone patted me on the shoulder and made me aghast in shock, thankfully I didn't make a sound. It was Rasti, it seemed like he was done with his affairs. Though I still want to eavesdrop on this exciting conversation.

×××

"Uuuu, Devanku." I pinched his cheek, squashed. He was in pain and trying to let go of my hand. His eyebrows were also raised which hinted that he was confused. This is the first time I met Devan after his conversation with Kak Rega. "Mother looking for you, don't you want to go home?" ask me after removing my pinch on her cheek.

"I also happen to be hungry in my stomach. Let's go up."

Devan propelled his bike on a crowded street as usual. I put my chin on his shoulder and whispered a thank you. I don't care if he hears it or not.

"It seems like someone just got along," the father teased as we just arrived in front of the house. I think he just got home from the office.

After parking the bike, Devan immediately shook his hand while I hugged my father. We then entered the house and were greeted with the fragrance of mother's cooking.

"Devan? Last time you saw you when you visited Cila. Why don't you come around so rarely" asked Mother as Devan shook her hand. Judging from the look on your face, it looks like he misses Devan. Somehow Devan stole my parents' hearts.

Devan did not answer the mother's question but just scratched his nape and then laughed a little. Embarrassed.

Mother then invited us to lunch. Of course this is what was waiting for Devan. Even the sound of his stomach was unintentionally heard and managed to create laughter in this family.

"How was your day, Devan?" ask the father who started the lunch topic today.

"Dad just asked Devan? With my own child?" I said roll my eyeballs, lazy.

"Good, dad. Although as usual. Father's day how?" ask Devan.

"Yes, it's just a common problem that happens in the office, after all this will be quickly finished," replied the father.

I sighed again, blabbering inwardly, they both ignored me, as if I was not in the midst of them. It is better to enjoy my lunch without caring about their current conversation.

"Dellong, Dell's ." Devan's call made me look up to him. He even hit me on the shoulder slowly. "Dad talk to you. You didn't hear it?" ask Devan.

"When I talk no one hears me,” sniffles me.

"Basic son of father. You again pms huh?” ask dad in a laugh.

After spending my time, Devan came home and I immediately went up to my room to change clothes. The clock shows at 15:30. I almost forgot I had an appointment with Rega. He'll be coming to pick me up soon.

"Es cream, Brother.”

“Adel, Adel, we are indeed again in the ice cream shop, dear.” That call from Brother Rega made me blush in shame, creating a red tinge on my cheek.

“Hehe, sorry, Brother.” I suddenly became awkward.

"You're always calling me 'Sister'. Didn't I ban you? You better call me by the name of Rega or not 'honey'." Brother Rega smiled. Sweetness boyfriend. What's wrong with me being surrounded by sweet people.

"For me it's rude to call the upperclassman without frills 'sister'."

"You are this." Rega smiled again. Just try to count how many times he managed to make me melt because of his smile. "I'm your girlfriend what's your upperclassman?" Brother Rega pinched my nose slowly. Akh, I feel like there is a red tinge on my cheek that came back suddenly and made me want to faint right now. Ok, I'm overreacting.

"Why are you quiet?" sanya Kak Rega looked at the bead of my eyes fixedly, adding a red tinge on my cheek that might have spread all over my face. "Your face is flushed, are you sick? or are you allergic to the sun?"

“My boyfriend who is SOK plain,” muttered me slowly and only in reply with a small laugh. But somehow my heart is currently beating faster.

“Wait a moment," Brother Rega raised his hand, calling out to the waiter who was standing beside the entrance. The waiter then approached us.

“Strawberry and bubble gum” said Kak Rega who was given a nod by the waiter.

Within a few minutes the ice cream was served in front of me. Eating ice cream while enjoying city activities in the afternoon is really relaxing, it's just too early to want twilight at this time. Even so, it's still just as fun.

"There's an ice cream stain on your face, brother." I said. I then immediately picked up a tissue that was never absent from my bag. I just wanted to touch her, but her face was clean.

"Thank you." He looked at my face which was currently putting on an annoyed expression. "Why?" tanyakanya.

"I should have wiped the tissue on my sister's face. Brother canceled this imbecile," I murmured softly as I was singing auntie. He looked at me with his confused face. He doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying.

A few seconds later he laughed, it seemed like my words had just finished processing. I looked down, embarrassed. I wanted to curse myself saying that without thinking. I'm really embarrassed now.

"Dell." His call made me look up, look at him. He pointed down his left cheek. There's an ice cream stain in there.

Forget about that, this opportunity should not be wasted. I then gently wiped his mouth. "My sweet boyfriend" I said slowly.

"You're this." Brother Rega ruffled my hair slowly. Making the red tinge on my cheek reappear. Never mind, my heart is really weak because of that behavior. "Let's go home, my future father-in-law must have been waiting for his daughter." Any more?

Brother Rega stood up first and thrust his hand at me. The bamboo in the sunlight adds to its good looks. He is like the riding prince every woman craves. Huaaa, what dream am I to the extent that Kak Rega can be my girlfriend.

“Wait, Brother. My shoelace is off.” I turned my back, faced the other side of the chair and started tying my shoes. Don't expect a romantic scene here, my cheeks are already tired of spouting red color repeatedly.

“E, Brother.” The voice made me look at my girlfriend immediately. Wait, I can't believe it, only for a moment I turned my face away, but Brother Rega has already hugged another woman in front of me. Kak Rega's body slightly blocked the woman's face from my sight and the woman was also bowed.

“Kak?” shirihku. And quickly Brother Rega released the woman. “Yolanda?” muttered. I didn't see it wrong, did I? That's right Yolanda.

I clenched my hand, furious. Without further ado, I immediately turned around, leaving behind Brother Rega and Yolanda both. As a woman, I cannot take it for granted when my boyfriend hugs another woman let alone in front of me.

"Adel, wait." I ignored Sister Rega's call. I ran, whether Brother Rega was chasing me or not, I didn't care. My eyes are currently warming. I stopped the taxi that passed in front of me. Sitting quietly inside while staring at the city from behind the window of this taxi.

"To the Right Salo Road,” lirihku.

In the past, I considered Devan childish to be the same. I can't be mature at the moment, I don't want to hear the explanation first or just say goodbye. My ego is still higher for now.

"You've been to this taxi twice and you've cried twice" said the taxi driver, breaking my daydream. "I remember taking you to the library, you were crying too, weren't you?" continued.

I ignored her again, trying to hold back the next tear that was about to come down. I'm going to Devan's house, but I don't want to complain to my best friend about my boyfriend. I'm not ready to break up with Sister Rega who was in a relationship with me 4 days ago.

What's gonna happen next? Ah, somehow.
