Trapped In Ambiguity

Aneh

A few days had passed when I spoke to Gergia at that Cafe. Everything is back to normal. Devan who every hour of rest always goes to class, Kak Rega who is still the same as usual, and Gergia who has made new friends so it is not always with Devan anymore. My monotonous days have returned. Even so, it makes me calmer compared to the trouble-filled days. Hidhi.

"Dellong, your cell phone snapped," Devan raised his hand. Without asking any further, I gave my phone away. He started typing something for a few seconds. "Come to the Mall. I have permission from my father,” he said then returned my phone.

"Eh? I don't bring any money."

"Just relax, I'll bring more money."

"So I'm free to choose anything?" candaku.

He's nodding. Wait, what's going on? I doubt Devan is in front of me, in the parking lot of this school, not the same Devan I saw yesterday and a few years before. He's not someone who disguises himself as Devan, is he?

"Let's go up,"

"Come," my spirit. When else would Devan be possessed by such a benevolent demon. Is the devil any good? Never mind.

×××

"What do you want to buy?" he asked when we had just set foot on the Mall's main door.

The crowd began to welcome my vision. There may be a big discount, so it's crowded. Huaaa, discount and traded. I want to make today go slow.

"Buy couple's shirt. This shirt still wants to be worn tomorrow" I said while looking at the school batik clothes I was wearing.

"Later Kak Rega was angry when he bought the same clothes,” kekehnya.

"Yes, Brother Rega is not so. Want me to call Rega?"

"No need. Yeah, come on."

I pulled her hand over to the place I used to go if I wanted to buy a hoodie. Besides being cheap, the quality of the fabric in that place is also good, not to mention if it is used, it is very comfortable.

"Again army color or mustard color?" I was holding two different hoodies of that color.

"Army seems good" he replied.

"OK, what size?"

"I'm L. You're XXL," He laughed mockingly.

"You think my body is so big? You're even fatter." I looked at him sharply.

"Come on, get the pants." He switched my conversation.

I then went into the dressing room. After making sure there was no blemish for lurking, I began to change my clothes, the hair that had been tied I let it unravel.

"For so long," greeted Devan when I just opened the door."Widih, our couple."

"Yes sorry. Wait, you haven't opened the price tag yet?" I asked when I saw the white paper hanging on his neck collar.

"Let people know that this is a new dress" she replied confidently.

"Yes," I replied indifferently, walking towards the cashier.

"Eh, Dellong, help open it," he shouted and ran after me.

After removing the price tag, Devan then paid for his hoodie and packed our uniforms in a paper bag that the store owner gave him.

"You buy what else" he asked.

"Jalan-walk first, later if there is something interesting, we buy," I said.

Me and Devan were walking around that mall. I didn't see anything that caught my attention until now. My vision is more interested in the behavior of visitors around me.

"Dellong, stay here." Devan pulls my hand towards the accessories store.

"What do you want to buy?" ask when we were there.

"What necklace is the bracelet?" tanyakanya. "Bracelet, please" he replied without waiting for my answer. Substantial. So why ask me?

"Devan, good," I pointed at the brown bracelet. Bracelets with a blend of wood and also fabric. Devan glimpsed the bracelet and nodded, and asked me to take it. That's of course. I have to satisfy myself shopping. Who cares about the price?

Devan bought three bracelets while I only had two. I put it on my arm even though it was slightly covered with the clothes I was wearing.

We went back for a walk, circling this crowded Mall.

"You hungry, aren't you?"

"Eating junkfood is like good ice cream."

"Kuy."

Today Devan is really weird. He was no longer stingy and was also so obedient. Usually he would argue me to eat this, eat that. Really, this is really weird. But what's wrong with enjoying today first, strangely later.

"The food is impatient to be eaten," I said seeing my message food was served in front of me. It's like a combo package.

"Huaaa, who cares about the same weight right now," said Devan began eating his food.

×××

"Devan is 4," I said as I looked at the large wall clock on the wall of the mall.

"I didn't realize that we had been around for three hours" he said. He then checked his watch to make sure that it showed the correct number.

"Come home" take me.

"Later on."

I think Devan has asked permission from my father anyway, so I won't be angry when I come home late. Today is still a long time before Devan's mood changes or not the demon that came out of Devan's body.

"So where are we going?" my many.

"I'm bored at the Mall all the time. There's nothing you want to buy anyway, right? How about a zoo?"

"May, but stop by the house just yeah, want to put this much groceries,” I said while lifting the bag. “After that we will pass in front of my house."

"Of course" he said.

We both walked to the parking lot. Devan then took out his old motorbike and stopped it in front of my house.

I then ran, headed to my room and kept the stuff. There were eight bags of groceries that I just put on the bed.

"Dad, Mother, I'm leaving again" I shouted as I ran back to Devan who was still sitting quietly on his bike.

"Let's go" he said.

×××

"Eh, Cil, your twin" pointed it at the cage on my left. I turned my head and found a gorilla who was having a snack this afternoon.

"It doesn't even look like you, does it?" askaku.

"Let's get closer," Devan pulled my hand and took me right in front of the cage. "Hi gorilla, meet me, he's my pricili. It's very similar to you, isn't it?" he nodded towards the gorilla.

I stared at him and then he slowly and he looked back at me so sharp that he made our gazes meet, a few seconds later, laughing.

"It's my turn now." I pulled his hand while running, heading towards a cage some distance away from here.

"Why go to the tiger's cage?" tanyakanya.

"Wait a moment" I took off my hand and began to turn towards the sleeping tiger. "Hi, tiger, meet me, he's Devanku. If you're hungry, just meet him, but don't eat him, because I love him" I shouted.

"You're this." Devan ruffled my hair and a few seconds after I got carried away, he immediately hit my head - replied to my behavior earlier - then chuckled softly.

"It hurts to know,” I complained as I rubbed my head.

"Lebay," actually.

We then went around the zoo until there was a warning to go home because the zoo would be closed, although for a while, I was quite satisfied to walk around this place.

"Dellong, eat yuk, hungry ya."

“We just ate and you're hungry?”

“Not full if you haven't eaten rice.” He scratched his non-itchy nape.

"There's a fried rice vendor close by from here. It's good, I buy it there a lot."

×××

"The fried rice is really good, Del," Devan said as we rode on the bike after enjoying a serving of fried rice.

Tonight the streets were quite quiet as the sky had just turned dark. At times like this, people in the city I live in would rather stay at home and have sex with their families than spend time outside.

"And I told you, it's delicious. Cheap again," I said.

"You love to look for the cheap,"

"Eh? Make no mistake, if something is cheap, why should it be expensive," I cheered.

Devan then stopped his motorbike in a park, the same park where I expressed my feelings for Devan, the same place I felt lonely in a crowded place at that time.

The park is starting to get crowded, people are starting to arrive with their families, or maybe their girlfriends. Although not as crowded as Sunday night, still this place is still crowded.

Devan walked to an empty park bench and sat down quietly, staring at the activity in front of us.

"Why come here?" my many.

"Can't come here?" askalanya.

"That's nothing."

Silence enveloped us. I had no idea what topic to start when I saw Devan who was seriously staring at the direction in front of him, not turning his head in the slightest. It seems he is daydreaming.

"Dellong, let's take a photo" he said suddenly.

"Tumben really."

"Let's remember, when was the last time we took a photo together? That time on the beach isn't it? And in retrospect, we rarely take photos together."

"Jeez, yeah, come on."

Devan then held his phone in front of us. I took a pose by putting on a face that others would call 'ugly face'. Devan did the same.

"A chance?" I asked when Devan put his phone back in his pocket.

"What matters is already. Come on, I'll take you home." Devan moved and I followed him. Wait, just go to the park for a photo?

Devan then drove me home. Arriving at home, Devan also entered the house. He said he wanted to see his father and mother, he missed.

Devan spent about an hour in this house. When he shook the hands of his father and mother to go home, I immediately went to the room and went to get the groceries. I gave her the bag before she left the house.

"Take me forward, Dellong,"

"Eh? Why?" my many.

"Follow it," Devan pulled my hand in front of my father and mother. They both just look at me. Father, Mother, your son wants to be kidnapped again. Ok, this is excessive, even though Devan only wants to be delivered to the front of the house.

"Why did you tell me to drive you here?" I said when Devan put the stuff I gave him on the side of his bike.

"Can I ask for one thing?" he asked while looking at my eyes.

"What?" askaku.

"Can I hug you?”

I looked at him in wonder, this is really strange. Devan hugged me a lot, but this time it felt different. He used to hug me spontaneously, the last time he hugged me when he was happy when he was transferred to that special class.

"You're really weird today, Devan. Usually you just hug me without asking for permission." I rolled my eyeballs, lazy.

After I said that, Devan immediately hugged me, taking me into his warm embrace. I then returned the hug, resting my head on the chest of his field. It makes me feel comfortable. We were both swept away in this old embrace.

A few minutes later, he took off the hug, then grabbed my shoulder, looked me in the eye again.

"Thank you, Pricilia Adel." He smiled, then rode on his bike, driving him away from this house.

My Devan today is really weird.
